Chapter 51: Hearing Its Sound Twice

Ran Yan observed through the crack in the window; the road was more than two feet higher than the fields on either side, making it impossible to make way. The only solution was for her to retreat along the way she came, or for the carriage on the opposite side to do the same.

Ran Yan naturally did not want to retreat! The road was long, and it took about a quarter of an hour to get to this point. If she turned back, it would waste another half an hour there and back.

A person from the other side ran over in the rain, saying urgently, "Everyone, we are in a hurry to return to the city. Night curfew is near, and if we delay even a little while longer, we won't be able to enter the city. Please, could you do us a favor?"

The latter half of the statement was addressed to Ran Yan.
