The three men who had hijacked her had just come out of the room. They must have walked down the path, because if they had walked down the path, they would most likely have met the three men. At this moment, her body was weak and her thigh was slightly injured. She was not a match for the three men at all, not to mention, the one who kidnapped her might not have been three men, but more people?

Sihan dragged her aching legs as she ran down the trail. The path was weedy and everlasting, almost covering the entire path. Sihan desperately rushed down the mountain, but when she caught her breath and ran down the mountain, she was once again stunned. There was a rather rugged path in front of her. The two sides of the path stretched as far as the eye could see, and she didn't know if the direction leading to the capital was her left hand or her right hand.

She had always hoped that she could escape from the Liang Household's prison. Now that she finally got her wish granted, she left the Liang Household. However, she didn't expect that she would actually leave the Liang Household in such a sorry state! At this moment, her clothes were tattered, and she only wore a thin, middle garment. However, her clothes and pants were tattered by the tree branches and weeds on the small path. She was almost naked, her hair was messy, her body was weak, and she was injured in the thigh area. Her current appearance could only be described with two words. It was a tragic sight to behold!

However, none of this mattered to her right now. The most important thing was how she would be able to leave this place and return to the capital. This path stretched as far as the eye could see. No matter which direction she ran in, she would be seen by others. Therefore, she could not run. She could only wait where she was, waiting for passers-by to help her. But she was also afraid that the men would look for her if they found out she was running away.

Thinking of this, Sihan turned and hid behind her in the grass. The mountain was very big, and the bottom was filled with dense jungle and grass. Even if those men wanted to find her, it wouldn't be an easy task.

But she never would have thought that the men who kidnapped her would trap her in the grass. They wouldn't be able to get in, wouldn't be able to get out.

Not long after Sihan hid in the grass, the sound of footsteps came from the mountain. She hurriedly froze and didn't dare move, afraid that those men would discover her location.

After the few men walked down the mountain, they stood at the foot of the mountain, not far away from Sihan. He did not go away, nor did he go up the mountain.

At noon, those men were still standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the sun in the sky.

Sihan had been squatting in the grass the entire time, her legs already aching from the pain. She was trembling nonstop, cold sweat beading from her forehead, but she didn't dare move at all. She was secretly anxious. Why didn't they leave? Seeing that her legs were about to collapse on the ground, the men suddenly walked to the left, leaving only one man standing in front of her without leaving.

Sihan gritted her teeth on the inside and persevered, not daring to move at all. She was afraid that if she made even the slightest sound, those men would discover her. At that time, even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to escape!

The man standing in front of her looked around and felt that there was nothing suspicious, so he followed behind the men and walked towards the left.

She let out a sigh of relief inside, carefully sitting on the ground. She gently kneaded her long numb legs on the grass. Knowing that her legs were no longer numb, she stealthily stood up from the bush and looked forward. About a hundred feet in front of her, there were a few men standing at intervals, and they were all leisurely looking at the sky.

Sihan couldn't help but be puzzled. Why were those men standing at the foot of the mountain without moving? The men had not said a word since they had stood at the foot of the mountain.

However, she soon understood why the men were always standing at the foot of the mountain. It was because they were guarding the rabbit. They were standing there leisurely, waiting for her to fall into their trap.

Afternoon. Through the bushes, Sihan only saw the man wearing a long green robe, holding a bamboo basket in his hand as he slowly walked down the mountain.

Sihan tensed up once again. She became even more surprised. It wasn't just three or four people who had kidnapped her.

"How is it? That woman hasn't appeared yet? " The man with the basket asked the men standing at the foot of the mountain.

When the few men who were originally standing very far away saw the man carrying the basket walking down the mountain, they hurriedly ran in front of him, opened the basket, and took out steamed buns from within the basket to start eating.

From behind the grass, Sihan looked pitifully at the men wolfing down their food. She couldn't help but swallow her own spittle.

"Didn't you say that the woman's health is not good? "Why haven't you run out of the forest for so long?" the man with the basket asked the wolf-eating men.

"How do we know? We're pretty sure that woman hasn't left the mountain." One of the men raised his head and answered with certainty.

The man holding the basket turned around and looked at the place Sihan was hiding. He had a faint smile on his face as he walked towards her hiding place with the basket in his hand.

Sihan's heart leaped to her throat as she stared at the approaching man through the grass, her hands tightly wrapped around her knees. The closer the man got to the bush, the simpler his thoughts became. She couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. Once he found her hiding place, she would attack him first. At least she couldn't fall into his hands for nothing!

Just as the man was about to approach Sihan's hiding place, a noble carriage sped by. A few men on horseback followed the carriage.

The man with the basket gave the carriage a deep look. He took another look at the thick grass before stopping. He didn't take another step closer to Sihan's hiding place. But his line of sight still stopped at the place where Sihan was hiding. He didn't leave.

When the other men saw that the man was looking at the hiding place of Sihan, they all curiously walked to the man's side. "What's wrong?" one of them asked the man.

The man pointed at the thick grass with the basket and asked, "That's the thickest place at the foot of the mountain. It's also the easiest place to hide people. Have you guys searched that place?"

The few men simultaneously looked towards Sihan's hiding place and then shook their heads. One of them immediately walked towards the thick grass, but was pulled by the man with the basket. "What are you doing?" The man turned around and looked at the man with the basket with displeasure.

The man with the basket ignored the man and looked towards the horse carriage that was gradually approaching them. He slowly said, "If you don't want to cause any problems, you'd better not act rashly!"

The man followed the man's gaze and silently stood where he was.
