"Who are you?"
At the sight, Xiaoya's red bridal veil trembled slightly. Her pupils dilated in utter confusion. She thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but after rubbing them, she saw that a little girl had actually crawled into the sedan chair.
A person appeared out of thin air!
'Was it real?'
'Not just a phantom born from her despair?'
She looked like one of those children from outside the village she'd seen earlier today.
She had wanted to ask them for help, but they were too far away, and the sedan carriers were watching her closely. Xiaoya could only mouth the words, not holding out much hope herself. 'Could they possibly have understood me?'
"I'm Meimei, Xiaoya. Come with me."
"This hole leads outside the village!"
Meimei didn't bother explaining further, simply urging her.
'Outside the village?'
'How did she do it?'
'In just this short amount of time.'
'She dug a tunnel leading all the way outside the village?'
Xiaoya was completely bewildered.
