Chapter 1076 Hiding in a Cave
Gritting her teeth hard, Zoe sees a mountain path.
It is not far away.
This means that she will soon be running out of the village.
By running out of here, she would escape, at risk of being surrounded by villagers.
She continued on her way, unconcerned.
Terrified, her eyes kept flowing with tears.
Tears blurred her vision, but she kept running, not daring to stop at all.
Desperate situations always inspire endless potential.
Zoe ran like mad.
And the men behind were chasing like mad.
Although Zoe ran fast, in the end, she was not as fast as the men.
Ten minutes later, the distance between them had only about fifty metres remained.
And by this time, Zoe had run up the hill.
The mountain roads are well connected.
She had no idea where she was supposed to run.
She could only take a random right turn by luck, while continuing all the way.
And the men were still in hot pursuit.
She had no shoes on her feet.
She doesn’t know when, but her feet has been bloodied and bruised by stones, and various tiles.
A pair of feet that look as hideous and gruesome as if they had just walked over coals.
It hurt, but she couldn’t care less and had to keep going.
Turning back again, she saw the men only about twenty metres away from her.
She had to speed up again.
Otherwise, she’s toast!
She must, to get her physical strength, win over those people!
She instantly bit her lip hard and picked up speed again.
Her stamina, in itself, is very bad.
Plus it’s been a while and not supplemented.
By now, she was beginning to feel weak all over.
Yet, she is still holding on.
One step forward is freedom.
A step back is desperate.
The attraction of freedom, for her, is immense!
“Zoe, you can’t let yourself go back into the hands of, once again, those lunatics!”
“The person who should be standing next to you is Robert, not anyone else!”
“Go for it, Zoe!”
Zoe, while mentally, cheering herself up, she kept running.
She was covered in sweat from excessive exhaustion.
Even breathing is very feeble.
At this moment, she felt her lungs almost on the verge of exploding.
After chasing her for a while, the men finally all stopped.
Everyone is tired.
This scene was a joy to watch for Zoe’s heart.
They stopped, which meant that the distance between them could be closed again!
Even so, she did not let her guard down and continued on her way.
Soon she had pulled away from them again by about fifty metres.
And the men, having rested enough, partly, began to chase wildly again.
Her husband, and his two brothers, were chasing inside the crowd.
Her father-in-law, on the other hand, is not there.
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she continued to run forward.
Soon, she ran around a corner.
Next to it is a mountain.
She disappeared inside the sight of the group.
And those who did, still did not give up.
Instead of continuing to follow the route the men had in their heads, she headed straight for the hills.
She ran straight up to the halfway point.
This time, she saw a cave.
She ducked right in at once.
Crouched at the mouth of the cave, she could clearly see the group chasing past in the distance.
They were completely unaware that she had gone up the hill.
She immediately took a long breath and sat down at the mouth of the cave to recuperate.
The men were still running onward.
The road below the mountainsplits into two.
One leads to the woods and the other to the fields on the other side.
The men divided their forces into two.
She knew that they would not be able to find this place in a short time.
She secretly decided that she would wait here until the evening, when no one was around, and then continue to think of a way to run out.
She is now physically unable to keep up again and is in too much need of water to keep running.
If she fights them hard, she will only die.
Inside the cave, it’s dark and cold.
Zoe is not afraid.
For the darkest things in this world have been experienced by her.
So there is really nothing to frighten her with any more.
Quieting down, she heard inside the cave the sound of running water.
She then followed the sound, smearing the darkness.
Once inside, she saw another exit from the cave.
There is light, shining in through the exit.
Her world is a moment of heavenly light.
By the light, she saw that, where the exit was there was a pool of water.
The pool of water is turquoise and looks very deep.
She was instantly overjoyed!
Great, God will not destroy her!
There’s water!
That’s the source of life!
She then walked over to the waterhole, leaned down, put her mouth to the surface regardless, and began to drink.
The water in the pool is cold and sweet.
It’s like mineral water in the city.
At this moment, Zoe was like a person who had been thirsty for days in the desert and began to frantically draw water from a pool of water.
For the first time in her life, she felt that having water to drink was such a blessing.
All the time, after drinking lots and lots of water, she felt the burning thirst inside her being relieved.
Because of the hydration, she felt her lips were not as dry.
Her body, too, is much more relaxed.
She leaned back comfortably against the wall and waited for the time to pass, bit by bit.
Her eyes look around the strand and she sees a fruit tree still growing at the exit.
Only the fruit trees are bare.
As her eyes continued to look under the fruit trees, she saw that underneath them, there was some grass.
She could not see anything to eat except grass.
She then let out a long breath of despair.
She thought she’d have to eat grass next, after all.
However, this time at least it was grass, not straw, and she was content with that.
With such dire circumstances, she already has the water, she really shouldn’t expect anything else.
For the rest of the day, it was quiet outside the cave.
And so she stayed in the cave from morning until evening.
During this time, she found grass to eat when she was hungry and drank water from the cave when she was thirsty.
The physical strength has been greatly improved.
She felt strong as an ox once again.
As darkness fell, the cave, once again, was pitch black and invisible.
However, she knew that it was not time to leave.
At least until late at night.
Really, when there’s no one around.
At this time of year, there is no guarantee that anyone else in the countryside is working in the fields.
She was so cold that her whole body shrank into a ball and leaned against the wall.
It was so cold that her teeth kept shivering.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Yet, she is still holding on.
Soon, there is hope soon.
