Heavenly Dao Formula

"Ahem, I... don't want to be redeemed by you..." Liu Ruyan coughed twice, suppressing the burning pain and said in a low voice, "I don't want to be kept like a caged bird by you..."

"Silly girl, I really don't know how to be blessed when I am blessed." The mother sneered, "Do you know that this is something that many people can't envy? What's more, the other party is a talented person from Zhou. It's your luck to have a crush on you." !"

"So you lied to me before?" Zhou Sheng's voice became even angrier. "You don't have to worry about food, drink, and clothes. What's wrong with you? To please me, to have a child for me, besides these, you still have to do something. What can be done?"

In a fit of rage, he slammed her back to the floor again, tearing off her collar and causing the wooden plaque hanging around her neck to fly out.

That's... what the little girl gave her!

Liu Ruyan didn't care about the severe pain in half of her body, and moved to take the wooden sign back into her hand.

But the other party took the first step, stepped on the back of her hand with one foot, and then bent down to pick up the wooden sign.

"What is this?" Zhou Dacai looked at it over and over again, "A bare piece of wood?"

"Give it back to me!" Liu Ruyan struggled to get up.

"It seems that you are quite rare about this thing. Tell me, what's the difference?" Zhou Sheng looked at her for a while, shook his head and sighed, "Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask any more. However, what you can bring with you will have to be decided by me in the future, understand?"

He threw the wooden sign on the ground, and at the same time raised his foot and stepped on it——

The wooden sign shattered!

"No..." When Liu Ruyan gathered it back, only a few sticks and a piece of debris were left in his hand.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"Ma'am, what I said before should still be valid, right?" Zhou Sheng didn't bother to look at her, so he said directly to the madam, "Don't let her come out to greet guests during this time."

"But... you came back from Gyeonggi until the next spring, and we will lose a lot if you keep Miss Ruyan in the room." The other party rubbed his hands and said, "You also know that there are still many adults who will name you at ordinary times. Let Ruyan girl accompany wine and sing poems."

"Hmph, I'll just pay for it." Zhou Sheng took out a bag of coins and threw it on the table, and said bluntly, "Isn't that what you guys want?"

"Master Zhou is really generous!" The old bustard put the money bag into his arms with a happy smile.

"I also have the conditions. Lock her up and have three meals a day delivered to her mouth. I don't want this to happen again!"

"Of course, of course." The old bustard responded immediately, "With Mammy watching, I promise she won't be able to leave this room."

"That's how it is." Zhou Sheng glanced at Liu Ruyan who was lying on the ground, and said with a sneer, "It won't do you any good to annoy me, so you should reflect on it these days! As for the office , I advise you to get rid of this idea, they are eager to expand their influence, how can they let a brothel girl ruin their reputation and cause criticism? Don't forget who you are!"

After speaking, he strode out of the house.

After the old bustard left, only the nanny was left in the room.

"Before I lock you up again, I still have something to do." She pulled out a short whip with a gloomy expression, "I didn't expect you to have the ability to escape secretly. It seems that the admonition I gave before was still too easy. What, I haven't trained for half a year, I'm afraid you have forgotten it? Make me lose face in front of everyone? I will let you know the end of pretending to be smart today!"

After finishing speaking, she slammed the whip at Liu Ruyan fiercely.

...

What day is this?

It seems to be the fourth day after the announcement, and it is also the day when the training originally scheduled by the secretariat will start.

Liu Ruyan sat under the window in a daze, staring at the iron chain on her feet in a daze.

Ever since the proprietress discovered that she had escaped, her range of activities was limited by an iron chain to a six-foot range, which was just enough to move from the window to the door.

These days, Mammy's punishment can be described as various, but whether it's humiliation or pain, she doesn't care.

After the wooden sign was crushed, her hopes were also shattered—although that might be a psychological comfort, after all, what effect can a sign with nothing engraved on it serve?

Liu Ruyan tried every means, but she couldn't restore the wooden sign, so she could only pile up the cracked wood chips and debris on the windowsill.

In fact, she didn't even know why she did it.

Just because that little girl mentioned something?

No matter how naive Liu Ruyan is, she still knows that this thing can't take her away from the drunk brothel.

She didn't even dare to think about it - did that girl really understand the meaning of giving the "token" to herself? In case... She was just on a whim, or just making a joke, wouldn't her own choice become a joke?

It was worse than if she had hoped to die.

Gradually, the sun sets in the west, and the day passes quickly, the light coming in from the window gradually dims, and the night is about to cover the sky.

If the training of the secretariat really started today, it should have ended by now.

Liu Ruyan raised her head slightly, and looked at the corner of the table beside the bed.

It's not sharp, but it's thick. If it's strong enough, it might work——

I'm afraid it will be very painful.

But this may also be the only way for her to break free from the chain.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan heard a meow.

By the way, usually at this time, if I have nothing to do, I will feed the wild cats something to eat. Is this the cat in the yard calling her?

Unfortunately, she couldn't get out of the room, and naturally she couldn't reach the yard either.

"Meow----"

The cat meowing sounded again, as if it came from overhead.

Liu Ruyan couldn't help being stunned, he lived on the third floor, and he could only see the roof of the podium on the second floor, how did the wild cats get here?

She braced herself to stand up and looked out of the house, only to see a tabby cat standing by the window sill, which seemed to be the one she had fed.

"I have nothing to eat here, you can go." Liu Ruyan whispered.

"Meow!" The wild cat jumped up and jumped towards the second floor.

Then came the second, and the third.

Liu Ruyan was surprised to find that cats were everywhere! They crawled out from roof ridges, house edges, etc., converging into tides like springs, and condensing towards the same place. Black ones, white ones, flowery ones, those in the courtyard of the drunken brothel, and those outside the courtyard, she couldn't count them all!

What the hell is going on here?

Liu Ruyan stared dumbfounded at the place where the cats gathered.

At the skyline where the afterglow was about to dissipate, a black figure silently walked up to the roof. The purple sunset covered the opponent's upper body, and she could only see the opponent's walking legs with the help of the orange afterglow.

Where this person walked, the wild cat consciously separated from the two sides to make way.

As if they were welcoming an uncrowned king.

Walking to the edge of the roof of the podium, the black shadow suddenly leaped lightly, directly crossed a distance of nearly ten feet, and stepped onto her window sill!

Liu Ruyan was so frightened that she took a few steps back and accidentally fell to the ground.

At such a close distance, she found that the other party was a woman, but there seemed to be something different.

In the dim light, the comer's eyes became the most conspicuous thing - they were actually a pair of golden pupils, the slender and upright outlines were like stars at night.

"Found you." She said.

In an instant, the little girl's warm words and laughter rang in Liu Ruyan's ears.

"Put the sign on the windowsill, it will help you."

"Even if it is an exaggerated statement, as long as it is written in the announcement of the secretariat, it will definitely become a reality."

The second half can be eaten together with Opening Titles, the title music of "Sherlock" :)
