Before the shout ended, a figure ran out from the woods and headed straight for the ditch, seemingly poised to jump into the river.
As she got closer, with the faint moonlight, Ling Chengyan could roughly discern that the runner was a woman, judging by her slim figure, she was either very thin or underage.
As she stopped her horse, four or five men pursued out of the woods.
"You wretched girl, want to die? It's not that easy..."
"Get her, whoever catches her tonight gets her!"
The men shouted and joked as they chased, the woman in front had already rushed onto the riverbank and was about to jump, while those behind didn't seem overly urgent, more like a cat toying with a mouse, spreading out to encircle her.
Ling Chengyan sat atop her horse, dressed in dark clothes, the horse was also chestnut black, motionless and silent, and under the cover of darkness, even though she was only a hundred steps away, those people hadn't seen her.
