Chapter 543: Finally Escaping

The forest was filled with trees, and the paths were narrow, unlike the wide official roads outside. There wasn't even a small trail.

While it might be fine for the mule to venture into the mountains, the problem was that it was dragging a prisoner wagon behind it.

The wagon careened wildly and soon crashed into a tree with great force. The impact was so strong that a beehive on the tree suddenly fell down.

Shu Yu's pupils widened. Fortunately, the beehive didn't land directly on the prisoner wagon, but unfortunately, the fallen hive stirred up a swarm of black buzzing bees that were now chasing after her as if they wanted to kill her.

"Ah... damn it." Shu Yu felt like she had exhausted all her good luck today. Not only was she trapped inside the prisoner wagon, but now she was also being chased by bees?

Once again, Shu Yu thanked her father for making the prisoner wagon. Although the straw raincoat covering the wagon had long fallen off, she still had curtains on all four sides.

Shu Yu tore off the curtains from the wagon and tightly covered her head, making sure to protect any exposed skin.

Luckily, the weather had turned cold during this period, and she was wearing two layers of clothes, which provided some protection.

With her face covered, Shu Yu became even more anxious and started kicking the prisoner wagon with greater force.

However, while she had shielded herself, the mule had no such protection. All the bees chased after it.

After running for a long distance and entering the forest, the mule couldn't move as freely, and it gradually calmed down.

But who would have thought that it would be attacked again? In response, it became even more violent and ran deeper into the forest.

Shu Yu exclaimed, "..."

Kick! Kick! Kick!
She kicked with all her might!
This was her only method. Going further into the forest meant entering deep mountains, which would be troublesome. Who knew what venomous snakes and ferocious beasts lurked there? Her life was at stake.

Shu Yu kicked harder, and fortunately, her efforts paid off. After a while, two bamboo bars broke loose.

Shu Yu began kicking the third one, then the fourth. Seeing that there was enough space for her to crawl out, she immediately changed direction, aimed at a spot, and without a second thought, jumped down.

However, the terrain in the mountains was indeed complicated. She thought it would be a flat area, but after descending, she found herself in a collapsed area, rolling down the slope.

When she finally reached the bottom, her head was spinning and she felt dizzy.

But...

"At least I'm out."

Shu Yu exhaled a breath and stood up, supporting herself with a nearby tree trunk. After a moment of recovery, she slowly regained her senses.

She looked around, not knowing where she was. Trees surrounded her, and there were no paths.

Shu Yu hesitated to walk aimlessly. If she went deeper, it would be troublesome. It would be better to retrace her steps along the original path.

She looked up at the slope she had just rolled down.

The slope was quite long, and climbing up would take a lot of time.

The problem was that she was currently weakened, still wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, making climbing a challenging task.

Moreover, her right hand seemed to have dislocated when she tumbled down and couldn't move.

But even if both her hands were broken, she still had to climb if that was the way to go.

Shu Yu sighed and began to climb upwards. However, after taking only a few steps, she faintly heard a familiar voice

.

"Miss Lu... Miss Lu, Shu Yu, Shu Yu, can you hear me? Shu Yu."

Shu Yu was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

She knew that Meng Yunzheng would definitely catch up with her, but she didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
