608: Running Away

Running Away

Mo Roulan smiled at the woman softly but the woman didn't reciprocate it. She  was not discouraged at all. 

She stood there and watched the woman lay down on the ground and then she closed her eyes. 

Mo Roulan noticed that there was not even a bed inside the room like there was in another room. Though it had a very hard mattress, she could at least lie on it. 

Mo Roulan exited the room a few moments later and locked the door again. 

She didn't want He Zhing to know that she came out of her room. 

She didn't know how he would behave with her if he came to know. 

Hence she pretended as if she didn't know about the woman locked in another room. 

At night, He Zhing came again with a plate. 

This time also, after he left, Mo Roulan went to the woman's room.

The woman again finished everything and Mo Roulan merely smiled. 

When she saw the woman lying down on the cold ground again, Mo Roulan went to her room and picked the thin cloth from her bed. She went back to the woman's room and covered her body with it. 

She knew that she would need to take the cloth away before He Zhing would see it otherwise he might find out that she had see the woman. 

So before the sun rose, Mo Roulan again went to the woman only to find her awake and covering her body with the cloth tightly.

"Can you give me back the cloth?"

Mo Roulan forward her hand in front of her. 

The woman trembled as she looked at Mo Roulan's hand before quietly passing the cloth back to Mo Roulan. 

Then she looked down and started to make some patterns on the wooden floor with her fingers. 

Mo Roulan stood there and watched for some time before she left the room. 

He Zhing didn't come for the whole morning. 

Mo Roulan surveyed the whole house again. She hoped that she would find something which would help her but she was left disappointed. 

In the end, she went to the woman's room. 

This time, she sat close to the woman silently. 

Unconsciously she looked around the room and her eyes widened when they suddenly fell on an iron rod.

This…why did she not see it before? 

She was sure there was no rod inside the room before. 

Mo Roulan immediately went and picked the rod in her hands. 

She was startled when she heard the whimper and turned to look at the woman. The woman's eyes were filled with fear and panic as she looked at the rod in Mo Roulan's hands. 

Mo Roulan's eyes flashed with realization and her body went cold again. 

So He Zhing beat her with this rod. 

Was it yesterday only? Because she didn't see it when she had come to the room for the first time. After that, she didn't look around the rook carefully. 

Mo Roilan's lips were pressed in a thin line. She put the rod in a corner before she turned to the woman with a forced smile on her lips. 

However, the woman never looked at her again. 

Mo Roulan sighed. 

She left the room with the rod in her hands. 

She hid it under her bad. 

Now she waited for a good opportunity which came soon. 

He Zhing came to Mo Roulan's room in afternoon again with the lunch. 

Mo Roulan sat on the bed calmly and waited for him to approach her. 

He Zhing put the plate on the bed harshly and stared at her body for a few moments longer today. 

Mo Roulan pretended as if she didn't notice his gaze though her hands were clenched tightly to form fists. 

He Zhing finally turned around. 

Just at that moment, Mo Roulan bent down to pick the rod she had hidden under the bed and then stood up. 

She hit He Zhing's head precisely with the rod. 

"Ahh…"

He Zhing clutched his head as he groaned with pain. 

He turned out as he stumbled with his steps and glared at Mo Roulan with red eyes. Mo Roulan looked at him coldly before she hit him again with the rod. 

This time, He Zhing fell down on the ground. 

  Mo Roulan kicked his face with her foot. When she was sure that he was unconscious, she stepped out of the room and locked the door carefully. 

Then she went to the room where the woman was locked and opened it. 

Remembering the previous incident, Mo Roulan hid the rod behind her before she stepped inside the room. 

The woman raised her head to look at her. 

Mo Roulan didn't know if it was good thing but she didn't tremble this time on seeing him. 

"Hey…do you want to go away from there?"

Mo Roulan didn't feel discouraged when she didn't get any response. 

"I don't know since when you are locked by them. But we can leave now. I hit him. He is unconscious."

Mo Roulan was sure that the woman was listening to her because she saw the shock in her eyes when she said that she hit He Zhing. 

"Come…we can leave now."

She forwarded her hand to the woman. 

The woman just stared at her hand and Mo Roulan waited patiently. 

When she felt the touch of coarse fingers on her soft ones, Mo Roulan swalllowed down the lump inside her throat. 

"Let's go."0

She whispered in a choked voice but soon realized that the woman couldn't walk straight. 

She seemed to experience pain her legs. It might be because He Zhing beat her.

Mo Roulan immediately held her waist with her one hand and helped her to walk. She could feel that the woman was stiff because of her touch but still continued to walk. 

Mo Roulan was relieved. 

Holding the iron rod in her other hand, she reached the main door when Mo Roulan realized she was yet to unclock it. 

But how will she unlock it. 

Seeing the lock on the door from inside, Mo Roulan's eyes lit up. It must be He Zhing who locked the door when he came inside. 

Then he must have a key on his body. 

Thinking this, Mo Roulan wanted to go back to the room where the unconscious He Zhing was lying on the floor so she turned to the woman. 

"You stay here. I will come back in a few moments."

Saying this, Mo Roulan made her lean against the wall and turn around to leave but she was confused when the woman started following her again.

"I will be back soon."

She tried to convince her but again found her following herself when she started walking to the room. 

Mo Roulan sighed and decided to take her with herself. 

She opened the door carefully and saw He Zhing still lying on the floor. 

Mo Roulan held the rod in one hand and with other she searched his pockets. She finally felt something and took it out. 

Looking at the key in her hands, her eyes were filled with relief. 

"Let's go"

She said to the woman. But as soon as she turned around, the woman suddenly snatched the rod from Mo Roulan's hands leaving her startled. 

Then Mo Roulan saw her beating He Zhing's body with the rod with all her might. 

She hit He Zhing as if she was beating cotton. 

She screamed as she hit He Zhing. 

She cried as she hit He Zhing. 

And Mo Roulan cried along with her.
