After putting on the straw raincoat, Yan Muxi rowed the boat to a sunken rock wall with movable rocks not far away, picked up a stone as big as a bowl, tied the clothes he had taken off to the stone, and threw the clothes and the stone together to the bottom of the water.
After making sure that there was no leakage on her body, she did not delay any longer and paddled in the opposite direction of the cliff cave.
After getting away from the valley, Yan Muxi realized that the boat was floating downstream. She only needed to hold the paddle to maintain direction without having to exert too much effort.
Behind and on the left were endless mountains. The boat continued along the mountains on the left. Because it was a rainy day, Yan Muxi could not tell how much time had passed.
She hadn't slept much for two nights in a row. The swaying of the boat seemed to help people fall asleep. She forced herself to stay awake and fall asleep.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time. When Yan Muxi's energy was no longer able to keep his mind clear, a house with smoke finally appeared in front of him. When he got closer, he could see clearly that the place where the smoke was coming from was a small village.
After thinking for a moment, Yan Muxi did not choose to abandon the boat and go ashore, but continued to move forward along the mountains.
The reason was simple: for her, a weak woman with outstanding looks, it was unsafe to go to an unfamiliar village rashly. It would be better for her to continue moving forward and find a larger town to go ashore.
There is a lake at the westernmost part of Fenglin Town. If she can row a boat down to Fenglin Town, she can directly set out on the prepared retreat route, fly away and completely break free from the shackles that have been tied to her for many years.
The boat was moving very slowly. After passing two villages, Yan Muxi finally saw houses that looked like a town. It seemed to be the Fenglin Town where she had visited the market several times.
In the past two days, she had only eaten three pheasant eggs to fill her stomach. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. No matter whether there was Maple Forest Town ahead, she had to go ashore.
Because it was a rainy day, there were not many people on the lakeshore, and various boats and small boats were docked on the shore.
After the boat docked, Yan Muxi jumped onto the shore and quickly left the lakeside.
Fortunately, this place was Fenglin Town. She didn't need to find a way to travel quickly and could go directly to the shop to pick up the package that she had asked someone to leave there.
All the slightly wealthier cities in Dafeng have shops for temporary storage of items. Fenglin Town is not far from the Colosseum, so it also has a shop with good reputation.
In order to prevent unexpected situations, Yan Muxi told the person who sent the package in advance that the package could be taken out with the receipt or by giving a secret code.
Yan Muxi had burned the bills long ago, leaving only a secret code as a way to take the package. She gave the secret code and successfully took the package away.
The bundle contained a purse of silver and money for easy use, Minghui's medicine, and the two seals that her grandfather had given her.
The seal was the way out her grandfather left her. Now that she had used it, she felt that her grandfather's efforts had not been wasted.
There were two seals, one of which was the seal for a carriage and horse company called "Tianshun". Tianshun carriage and horse company was spread all over Dafeng. The managers of each carriage and horse company were trustworthy people carefully selected by Qian Chongguang, and they could be dispatched with confidence based on the seal.
The nature of the carriage and horse business is similar to that of the escort business. While they can make a living by traveling all over the country, most of them are also closely connected with the local government. They can easily obtain travel permits and fake household registration certificates, which facilitates Yan Muxi to conceal his identity and escape from Luodu.
Fenglin Town is not very big, and the shop is only two streets away from Tianshun Coach House.
Yan Muxi didn't dare to stay in Fenglin Town for too long. When she passed by a bun shop, she bought five big buns and asked the owner for hot water to drink. She ate the buns while walking. After eating three big meat buns in a row, she felt like she was alive again.
After filling her stomach, she saw a cosmetics shop at the corner of the street and walked straight in.
Because it was dark and Yan Muxi was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, most of her face was covered. She did not attract the attention of the shopkeeper, who just thought she was a young lady going out in the rain to buy cosmetics.
Rouge, powder, eyebrow pencil and other makeup items cost nearly one or two taels of silver. Yan Muxi even bargained with the female shopkeeper to confirm her identity as a young lady from an ordinary family.
When it was getting dark, an ordinary single-horse carriage with a carriage and horse company logo left Fenglin Town and headed northeast in the rain.
At night, Maple Forest Village.
Yin Xia, who had fainted, suddenly opened her eyes, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess!"
Seeing Jin Chun beside the bed, she asked anxiously with red eyes, "Has the Crown Prince's Consort returned?"
"Don't worry, Dongyu and Qiuzhu have taken people into the forest to search. The Crown Prince's Concubine will be safe and sound." While speaking, Jin Chun squeezed Yinxia's hand calmly.
Seeing that Yinxia had not yet recovered from her shock, she pretended to comfort her and wrote the word "cabinet" on the palm of Yinxia's hand.
Yin Xia was stunned for a moment before she realized that the bag left in the shop had been taken away, but Yan Muxi was not eaten by the wolves and was still alive!
With a cry of "Wow", Yinxia hugged Jinchun and cried loudly, "Wuwuwu... The Crown Prince's Consort is gone, our young lady is gone... gone, wuwuwu..."
Jin Chun also cried, "Wow, wow, wow... Miss must still be alive, still alive... Miss..."
The package deposited at Fenglin Shop was taken away, which meant that Yan Muxi had escaped, but they had to act sad to confirm the news of Yan Muxi's death.
Only if he acts more sincerely and hides the truth from his superiors can Yan Muxi achieve real safety.
Yinxia couldn't understand. She saw with her own eyes that her own prince's wife was taken away by a gray wolf. How did she escape from the claws of the evil wolf and run out of the forest?
Last night, after the Crown Prince's Consort was carried away by a big wolf, they fought with the wolf pack for nearly half an hour without distinguishing between friend and foe, until the wolves withdrew, and the fight stopped passively.
Several groups of people suffered heavy casualties. Some people escorted the Third Prince back to the forest along the original route, while the other group followed the direction the big wolf escaped, trying to find the Crown Prince's wife.
Dozens of people searched from dusk till dawn, and then searched for most of the day after dawn before they found Yan Muxi's torn clothes and jewelry in an open space deep in the dense forest.
Although it was raining, bloodstains and signs of fighting could still be clearly seen there, which was enough to prove that Yan Muxi had been eaten by wild wolves and no trace of his body was left.
Yin Xia was already exhausted, and when she saw Yan Muxi's clothes, she fainted without even crying.
Dongyu knelt on the ground holding the intact jewelry and cried for a long time. When she realized that Yan Muxi was no longer alive, she and Shunzi took the unconscious Yinxia back to Fenglin Manor first.
After sending Yinxia back to the farm and settling her down, Dongyu and Shunzi hurriedly ate a bite of food and without stopping for a moment, they led a group of guards into the forest.
Even if a person is eaten by wolves, large pieces of bones and hair will be left behind. How could they give up without finding solid evidence that Yan Muxi is no longer alive?
