Xu Ke's subordinates assumed Tangtang and Guoguo went to the riverside merely because they were thirsty and wanted to drink water, not realizing that the sisters had long discovered their presence and were planning to escape.
"Sis, we haven't been discovered, right? They're not following us, are they?" Guoguo asked worriedly, not wanting to be easily caught at this moment.
Tangtang observed the surroundings, finding no abnormalities. She estimated that these people hadn't thought about the possibility of them escaping.
"It's fine, you don't need to panic. We'll just pretend we're going to the riverside to drink water."
Guoguo pondered, "My sister makes sense. In such hot weather, these people probably won't be suspicious."
Besides, in this wilderness, being thirsty is perfectly normal.
During the scorching summer days, one could hear the sound of crickets in the small woods. If those people weren't here, it might truly be a paradise.
