Chapter 16 Escape
As the sun set, Yi Wen stayed in the iron cage for most of the day. As for why nothing happened today, Yi Wen didn't really care.
"Hey, that new kid." The kid who slapped Yi Wen today shouted to Yi Wen.
Although Yi Wen heard the man calling him, Yi Wen ignored him and just shrank back and continued to nest in the corner of the iron cage.
The child pursed his lips and stood up, walked to Yi Wen, sat down, patted Yi Wen and said, "My name is Fang Zhou. I didn't do well today. I shouldn't have taken action against you."
Yi Wen shook his head slightly and said, "It's my problem."
"What's your name?" Fang Zhou asked with a smile.
"Yi Wen." Yi Wen still didn't look at Fang Zhou, who was still sitting in the corner not knowing what he was thinking.
"Do you want to escape?" Fang Zhou said after a moment of silence.
Yi Wen trembled slightly after hearing that he had escaped, and his gray eyes seemed to have regained some light, but that light was covered by something unknown, and then he still shook his head. He didn't know where else he could go after he got out, and he was afraid.
He didn't want to go out anymore. Things seemed to be happening in this world that he couldn't predict at any time.
"Do you...do you still have family?"
Ark has been locked up here for a long time. He has been here just because there is no buyer to buy him. It is impossible for Ark, who has been locked up here for a long time, to do nothing. He had planned to escape tonight. Come and ask.
Yi Wen just wanted to avoid dragging himself down when the time comes.
Fang Zhou saw Yi Wen shaking his head and had no intention of running away with a person who had lost hope. He just asked casually.
But it was this question that rekindled the extinguished fire of hope in Yi Wen's heart.
As soon as Fang Zhou finished speaking, Yi Wen suddenly bounced up like a fake corpse, startling Fang Zhou.
"What the hell! What are you doing!" Yi Wen was sitting next to Fang Zhou like a pile of mud, but then the sudden light of hope in his eyes startled Fang Zhou.
"Yes! I also have a sister." Yi Wen looked at Fang Zhou firmly and said.
Seeing that Yi Wen's eyes were full of life again, Fang Zhou felt happy for him. He patted Yi Wen's shoulder and gave him half a piece of dirty steamed buns and said, "If you're full, we'll set off in the evening."
Yi Wen thought of Yi Qiao, and
I have nothing but this sister. My younger brother has died because of his own incompetence, and he can no longer let his sister suffer! Yi Wen secretly vowed in his heart that if he could see his sister again this time, he would protect her with his life!
God! This time I, Yi Wen, will risk my life to gamble with you!
Qiaoer! Wait for me!

Yufeng Kingdom and Gu'an Kingdom are adjacent to each other. The two countries have been in a state of confrontation for a long time. Years of war have put both countries on the verge of collapse. High taxes have made it difficult for the people to make a living.
Seventeen years ago, in the second year after King Xi ascended the throne in the year 351 of Gu'an, he signed a long-term truce contract with the Yufeng Kingdom. The Yufeng Kingdom, which had been tortured by war, seemed to be interested in a truce.
An armistice was signed.
The border between Gu'an Kingdom and Yufeng Kingdom
A capable young man led a horse and was passing by to return to Yufeng Kingdom. As he was walking on the road, he suddenly saw a child lying on the ground not far away.
"Huh? Haha, what a fate!" The young man checked the child's breathing and found that he was still alive. Then he lifted the child on the horse like a chicken.
"Old man, this time you were blind and made a wrong move." The young man smiled and continued walking towards Yufeng Kingdom.

Inside the Muxiang Town Inn
"Liu Niang, what should we do? This Yi Qiao doesn't eat or sleep. She just cries all day long. What should I do if such a young girl breaks her body from crying?" Wu Chang said, although Wu Chang
He is usually careless, but he also has a gentle side. Seeing Yi Qiao crying all day long made her heart feel uncomfortable.
"When will your third and fourth masters come back?" Liu Niang was really at her wits' end. She could only leave this matter to the other two people Zhu Qin mentioned earlier.
"Who can say for sure? The third and fourth masters have been away for so long and there is no news at all. The eldest master also said nothing. Alas..." Wu Chang sighed and said.
"I think you should take the little girl back to the village first. It will take a few days for the supplies to be settled. I will find someone to send them back in two days. I will send a few more people back with you on the way to prevent them from happening again.
It’s the same situation as before.” Liu Niang thought for a while and said.
"That's all we can do now..." Wu Chang had no better way.
, I can only listen to Liu Niang.
"This is Jade Ningxiang. If the little girl still cries on the street, let her smell this. At least she won't break down from crying. Remember, it's okay for you martial arts practitioners to smell this Jade Ningxiang, but if children smell it too much,
It will hurt your health. I will give it to Brother Liao later. I don't worry about it." Liu Niang took out the small bottle from before and handed it to Wu Chang.
"Okay, I understand." Wu Chang nodded and said.

Pingyuan Town
In a remote small courtyard, a man in black was sleeping soundly. In the iron cage not far from the man in black, Yi Wen and Fang Zhou and other children who were captured by the man in black were full of energy.
Ark tentatively threw a stone next to the man in black, trying to confirm whether the man in black was really asleep.
"Well..." The man in black turned over with the wine jar in his arms, licked his lips and continued to sleep.
"Huh... It seems that he really fell asleep." Fang Zhou felt a little relieved, beckoned the children to gather around him and continued: "Wait for everyone to disperse after they go out, otherwise they will be easily caught and escape.
You must hide well after you go so you don’t get caught again, you know?”
The children in the iron cage looked at each other, then nodded and looked at the Ark gratefully.
Fangzhou also nodded towards the children, and then gently pushed aside the hay at the bottom of the iron cage, for fear of waking up the man in black. Although there was not much hay and it was easy to push it away, it was still a long time for them.
During the process, everyone held their breath.
Finally the hay was pushed aside, revealing the bottom of the iron cage.
Yi Wen looked at the bottom of the iron cage with some surprise. Two wooden boards were removed from the cart at the bottom. The railings of the iron cage were opened by some external force. The opening was not big, but it was enough for these children to escape.
.
There were a total of thirteen children in the cage including Yi Wen and Fang Zhou. Among them, Fang Zhou and Yi Wen were relatively old, so Fang Zhou and Yi Wen asked the other eleven children to leave first.
"You go first, don't make any noise before going out." Fangzhou said in a low voice.
