Qiuli panicked, and put some force on her feet. Fatty Huang slid half of his body out of the hole. He could get out by climbing a few more steps.

Fatty Huang was frightened out of his wits when he heard what was going on in the garden through the wall, and his men moved a little faster.

The third lady's voice rang out: "Who? Who is over there?"

Qiuli bent down and smoothed the marks at the entrance of the hole, then picked up the red carp on the ground. Before she could come out, the head of the third lady popped out in front of the banyan tree.

Qiuli cried, "I don't know what happened, but the fourth sister turned into a fish."

The third lady's expression changed greatly.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind around, and a red ribbon came out of Sanniang's hand, entangling Qiuli and the fish in her hand.

Qiuli's body rose into the air, her eyes showing panic.

The third lady pulled them to the open space in the middle of the garden. She jumped up with her feet and stepped on the air. The wind howled in the garden, and her voice was clear and powerful: "Who is it? Come out!"

Qiuli was worried about Fatty Huang outside the wall. She looked down at the red carp in her hand, gritted her teeth, and shouted loudly.

"Fourth sister! What's wrong with you?"

Sanniang Zi felt a shiver in her heart and quickly fell to the ground. She looked down at the red carp and reached out to pat the talisman paper off her body, but the golden thread could not be removed.

She pushed Qiuli away, wrapped the red carp in her long sleeves, and told the old woman beside her, "Mr. Chen, keep an eye on the golden boy for me! Send him back to his room, and I'll come to interrogate him later."

Then he stopped walking and flew away, whistling in the wind.

Qiuli was really stunned this time.

"Why don't we go take a look together?" Qiuli looked up at the tall Mrs. Chen, "I'm worried about the fourth sister."

Mrs. Chen curled her lips and said, "Don't go anywhere. Come back to the house with me." She stretched out her hand and grabbed Qiuli's back. Her strength was astonishing.

Lifting Qiuli off the ground with one hand, he turned and walked towards the room where Qiuli changed clothes.

The door clanged open as she threw Qiuli onto the chair with one hand. She turned around and went out, closing the door and guarding the door.

Qiuli looked around and walked around behind the screen where she had changed her clothes. The coat, coir raincoat and bamboo hat she had replaced were still in the wooden basin, and she put them into her "portable food box".

Walking to the window, well, the window and the door opened in the same direction. Whenever she opened the window, Mrs. Chen would catch her.

There is no way out now, unless Mrs. Chen is killed, the "Invisible Rag" still has three quarters of an hour to cool down before it can be used again.

Feng Deng disappeared without a trace, and the only thing he could use was the kitchen knife.

No, there is another prop! She thought about it and realized that this thing had been ignored by her. She took out the "puppet" as long as a finger and held it in the palm of her hand.

I glanced at the teapot on the table, reached out and pushed it, and the teapot fell to the ground with a "pop" and fell into pieces.

Mrs. Chen pushed the door open and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Li pointed at the ground and took a step back. In the dim room, Mrs. Chen's vision was blocked. She took a few steps forward and bent down. Qiu Li spotted a hair behind her and pulled hard.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Chen straightened up and stretched out her hand to hit her.

Qiuli ran a few steps quickly, hid behind the screen, and quickly wrapped her hair around the "puppet" with her fingers.

Immediately, the puppet suddenly escaped from Qiuli's hand, and Mrs. Chen exclaimed: "What? What is it?" As soon as she finished speaking, the whole person became as motionless as a puppet.

Qiuli walked out from behind the screen. She looked into Mrs. Chen's eyes and said, "You continue to play your role as Mrs. Chen. Next, help me escape from here."

Mrs. Chen seemed to have finally regained her breath. She glanced at Qiuli, her eyebrows softened a lot, "I will lead you out now. I'm afraid they won't bother to come to you now."

Seeing that the puppet method was effective, Qiuli's heart dropped. She pointed to the door and said, "Let's go."

In the dim corridor, the night became darker.

The drizzle fell on the bricks on the ground. Mrs. Chen's footsteps were heavy, and they walked towards the garden one after another.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the garden, I saw several more lanterns inside and the voices of several people talking.

Mrs. Chen lowered her voice: "These are servants, I'm afraid they are looking for bad guys."

"Go through the gate and speak softly." Qiuli frowned.

Mrs. Chen said "hmm" and changed direction and walked towards the main entrance.

The servants probably went to the garden, but they didn't meet anyone along the way. The door of the hall was brightly lit, and there was a servant who recognized Mrs. Chen. She glanced at Mrs. Chen and then looked away.

Everyone knows that Mrs. Chen is Sanniangzi's confidant, so naturally she is not willing to bring trouble on herself.

The two people walked to the gate of the mansion one after the other.

The "Black and White Match" who was tied to the corridor saw Qiuli, and immediately snorted, blew out a few puffs of hot air, and moved his head towards this side.

Mrs. Chen took a few steps forward and untied the old horse's rope.

Life and death seemed to be on the line here. Qiuli grabbed the reins, her heart beat like a drum, and the door was right in front of her.

"Black and White" seemed to know that this was not a good place. Without saying a word, the sound of horse hooves became a little softer, and followed closely beside Qiu Li.

The outside of the door is still the same as when it came in, with two red lanterns hanging on both sides, and the red lanterns in front of other villagers' houses have been extinguished. The front of the barn in front of the door is dark, and the direction of the road can be vaguely seen.

Mrs. Chen lowered her head, "Then I'll go in first."

Qiuli took back the "puppet", and there was still an hour before the "puppet" expired.

Mrs. Chen obediently turned around and walked back.

Qiuli took the horse and hid in the dark night of "Xikou Village". She still wanted to find Fatty Huang and Zhaodi.

The movement of the horse was somewhat loud, so she took off the reins and whispered in Black and White's ear: "You go to the official road and wait for me. If you can understand or not, then you will be free.

"

She stretched out her hand and pushed it on its buttocks. "Black and White" turned to look at her, and then ran out of the village.

Qiuli's memory has always been very good. According to the direction, she carefully found the outer wall of the garden. With the bright lights inside the wall, she saw that there was a fertile field outside the wall. There was a farmhouse not far away, and a little further away.

There are acres of woods.

You can still hear the movement in the garden through the fence.

She glanced at the farmhouse and walked over quickly, breaking a few dead branches with her footsteps and making a crisp sound. From behind a tree outside the farmhouse, Fatty Huang's voice suddenly came, "Qiuli?"

She saw Fatty Huang holding Zhao Di's hand, huddled obscenely behind the tree, only half of his head sticking out to look in her direction.

Qiu Li stretched out his hand and shook it, but he didn't respond at all. Instead, Zhao Di, who was holding his hand, shouted in surprise and lowered her voice: "Qiu Li."

Qiu Li admired Zhaodi's eyes. Not only could she see through illusions, but she could also see at night. Just look at Fatty Huang and you will know that he is definitely a night blindness patient.

"Let's go, they will find us soon." Qiuli stepped forward and held Zhao Di.

"I know a shortcut to the official road, I will lead the way." Zhao Di's voice was filled with excitement.

Zhaodi is from this village and she is a child. She is usually naughty and it is normal for her to know some small roads.

Qiuli was overjoyed and said, "Let's go."

In the continuous drizzle, Qiuli and Huang Fatty followed Zhao Di, one by one, walking on the field ridge. Zhao Di led the way and carefully reminded them, "There is something here."

It’s a small ditch, it’s slippery here, there’s a rock here.”

Qiuli did not dare to take out the lighter. The most dangerous time was now. The chase would not officially begin until Sanniangzi and others reacted. In the darkness of "Xikou Village", any light would become a target for monsters to pursue.
