Sun Yeshu was utterly panicked.
It was true that Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao lived at the foot of the mountain where few people usually ventured, but it was summer, and the mountain was lush with wild vegetables. Since it was around three or four in the afternoon and the sun wasn't as punishing, many people were up there foraging. What if someone heard Sweet Girl screaming so loudly?
She hurriedly scrambled back over the courtyard wall, only to see a large group of children running toward her. She immediately turned to flee, but Sweet Girl lunged forward and grabbed hold of her, refusing to let her leave. Viciously, Sun Yeshu shoved the little girl away and sprinted off. Sweet Girl fell hard to the ground, her palm pressing heavily against a sharp stone that instantly tore her skin open.
