After stealing her aunt's money, Li Hongchun continued southward.
She wanted to go to the south to work, but she didn't dare to take the train from Gongcheng. The streets and alleys of Gongcheng were plastered with her wanted posters; she didn't dare show her face.
She just headed south, kept heading south. She thought of taking a bus from the neighboring county, intercepting it halfway without needing a residence certificate to buy a ticket, just getting on the bus directly. As long as she covered her face a bit, no one would recognize her.
Li Hongchun didn't know if there were wanted posters in the neighboring county. To be safe, she smeared a handful of yellow dust on her face, dirtied her clothes, and made herself look like a rural woman.
So she wouldn't be recognized upon encountering people on the road.
Li Hongchun walked for a whole day, getting farther and farther from Gongcheng, but she was still afraid inside, afraid of being recognized.
