Jiang Yuan's worst fear had come true; she struggled as if her life depended on it. Fengmian couldn't hold her down and ended up getting scratched in several places.
In a flash of anger, Fengmian casually picked up a rock from the ground and hit her on the back of the head with it.
Jiang Yuan felt a sudden sharp pain in her head. Instinctively, she wanted to cover the painful area, but before her hands could reach up, she lost consciousness.
Fengmian feared he might have killed her, so he leaned in to check if she was still breathing.
Once he confirmed that she was not dead but merely unconscious, he felt relieved enough to hoist her onto his back and carry her to a more secluded spot.
The town was better than the countryside, but not by much; it couldn't match the rapid development of the city, leaving many old, dilapidated houses on the outskirts of the town.
