Aguduo, holding Jiunian, ran three or four miles in one breath.
Behind them, the sound of pursuing footsteps grew closer.
Aguduo knew in her heart that there was no escape today.
Reaching a three-way intersection, Aguduo gritted her teeth, stopped, and put down Little Jiunian.
She glanced at Little Jiunian. Suddenly faced with unexpected changes, the little one did not cry; he was an understanding child. Unfortunately, she had no way to safely hand the child over to the master.
"Little Jiunian, the pursuers are about to catch up. You take this path to the west. This road is least traveled, and there shouldn't be many people who pass through. Find a place to hide. Until tomorrow, do not come out."
With that, Aguduo pushed Little Jiunian forward, urging him to run away quickly.
Little Jiunian stood there dazed for a moment.
"I... I won't go. My mom said never to leave your companions behind."
