The crowd followed the direction Mrs. Lin pointed and went after Mu Danyan.
Mu Danyan was terrified, fleeing in a panic without choosing a path, eventually reaching the third branch's toilet.
The voices shouting "catch the thief" grew closer and closer, and were about to break through the toilet.
What Mu Danyan did wasn't honorable; if caught, he would surely be soaked in a pig cage.
Thinking quickly, Mu Danyan jumped into the cesspit, enduring the stench, and plunged headfirst into the muck.
The crowd searching for the thief flashed their torches around the toilet, didn't see anyone, and then left.
When Mu Danyan rose from the cesspit, he was entirely covered in filth, smelling foul beyond belief.
Fortunately, he wasn't caught.
Mu Danyan thought with relief.
