The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 463, Forever Prosperous_1

Daohua didn’t dare to sleep too deeply; she only lay in the quilt to relax and let her body rest and recover. By the time it was about to dawn, Daohua curled up inside the quilt and took out some fruit from her space to eat until she was full.

After that, Daohua continued to lie down and rest.

It wasn’t until close to noon that there were sounds in the courtyard. Daohua quickly stood up and, just in case, she popped an antidote into her mouth.

“Creak~”

Soon, the door opened, and the person who entered wasn’t the young man from yesterday but the burly man who had stuffed cloth into their mouths.

Zhuzi took one look at the untouched meal and sneered, “What’s the matter, does the lady of the house not fancy our village food? What a pity, no one is here to serve you. Don’t eat, and just wait to starve to death.”

...

Daohua pressed her lips together without speaking, glancing at the outside courtyard, which she had already observed to be empty of people.

Without hesitation, Daohua quickly threw the sleeping pill towards the big man.

Just in case, she threw three at once.

The pills exploded on the man’s body and on the floor, instantly spreading a fragrant scent throughout the room.

Zhuzi didn’t expect Daohua to act so decisively. Caught off guard, he inhaled a large mouthful of the sleeping powder through his nose and mouth.

Feeling his head growing heavier and his vision blurring more and more, Zhuzi’s face was filled with shock. He always remembered Lord Cao’s instructions never to underestimate this little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. However, he didn’t expect that as he turned around to deal with yesterday’s leftovers, he would be ambushed by the little girl.

His mind foggy, the scent of the medicine at the tip of his nose, he realized in an instant that he had been hit by sleeping powder—the same kind as yesterday.

Damn it!

With curses in his mind, Zhuzi collapsed to the ground.

Seeing him unconscious, Daohua ran over, holding her breath, and took the keys from his waist. She then stuffed him into the quilt to make it look like she was still sleeping, and after sticking her head out of the room to peek and seeing no one in the courtyard, she immediately ran out, locked the door, and stealthily made her way out of the courtyard.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Daohua looked at the village bathed in the thin smoke of cooking fires and briefly lost herself in thought.

She really hadn’t expected the one-eyed man’s gang to be living in such an idyllic place.

Though shocked, Daohua quickly returned to the present. At the moment, she was standing in front of a square that resembled a drying ground, with houses to her left and right.

To minimize the chance of being discovered, Daohua ran straight into an alley.

In the cold winter, she was dressed quite thickly, and as she ran, her heavy skirt was very cumbersome. Such an outfit was also quite conspicuous in the village. Just as she was passing by a house, Daohua spotted clothes drying in the yard.

Noticing that the household’s doors were closed tight, Daohua picked up a stone at her feet and threw it into the yard. Seeing no response, she threw it two more times.

Still no reaction, Daohua began to climb over the wall.

Farmhouse walls aren’t high, and thanks to years of training, Daohua’s body was still light. Along with the run-up, she climbed over the wall with relative ease.

Once inside the yard, Daohua quickly gathered the clothes that were drying. She glanced around and, holding the clothes, ran into the firewood shed to change.

Moments later, a cross-dressed Daohua emerged.

However, at that moment, the sound of gongs and drums arose from the village.

Daohua’s heart tightened; she knew that her escape had been discovered. After a moment of thought, she ran back into the firewood shed and then directly entered her space.

At the same time, the entire Sishan Village was thrown into turmoil, and household after household came out searching for the escaped Taohua.

Yet, they could not find a trace of her even after an entire day of searching.

“Yongwang, do you think that person has already left the village?”

“Impossible, the one watching the village entrance said no one has gone by today.”

“Could it be that our village has another exit?”

Furrowing his brow, Yongwang shook his head uncertainly and said, “I don’t know.”
