Su Zhiruan had been busy in the shop for a while, and was just preparing to head home when she noticed that the sky had turned dark, and night had fallen.
She had the foresight to hide a knife on her person.
In the original plot, the protagonist was knocked unconscious while taking a shortcut, and upon waking, found herself tied up in the home of a crippled old man, marking the beginning of a nightmare.
In this era, although communication devices had already appeared, they weren't widespread.
She wasn't sure if Su Caixia would still follow the original plot now that the storyline had changed, but being prepared and vigilant was essential.
When she left the shop, there were still many vendors setting up stalls in the evening, calling out along the street, with the air filled with delicious aromas.
As Su Zhiruan passed through this street, many people greeted her.
"Heading home, Su girl?"
