876 Concealment (5)

She didn’t mind sleeping on the floor or on a plank. The only thing she could not tolerate was sleeping with more than ten unfamiliar men. At night, she could hear snoring, and there were all kinds of strange smells. From time to time, men would put their legs on her. Luo Tan felt horrible. If Luo Liantai and Madam Ma found out, they would probably break her legs.

What terrified Luo Tan the most was… taking a shower.

No matter how rough she was usually, it was impossible for her to not take a shower for more than ten days like these men. She could not tolerate jumping into the water with all the men every time they came across a lake. Previously, there were a few times when she was almost pushed down into the lake, scaring Luo Tan so much that she almost screamed. In the end, she had an idea and said that she had very ugly scars on her body and did not want to be seen in front of everyone. Although those men felt that she was too sissy, they did not force her.

Today, there happened to be a hot spring behind this farmhouse. The water in the hot spring looked very clear. In the evening, the men had already gone into the water to take a shower, but she did not. Now that it was dark outside, Luo Tan sneaked out with her clothes.

She walked a long distance to the lake in the dark and looked around. It was already late at night, and everyone was sound asleep. Even if some people woke up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, they would not come all the way here. Luo Tan was relieved. She took off her clothes and went into the water.

The hot spring water was very warm and comfortable. It had been a long time since Luo Tan took such a blissful shower. In the past few days, she always snuck out to burn firewood to heat up water to take a shower at night while no one was around, which was very troublesome. However, at this moment, she felt extremely happy.

As she looked at the moon in the sky, she thought to herself, “It’s been more than a month. It seems like they’ve given up on fetching me back. Even if they catch up with me and persuade me to go back, I won’t agree. In that case, why don’t I confess to Shen Miao? My little cousin has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She won’t really do anything to me. This way, I can sleep in her room and won’t have to take a shower like a thief.”

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. Luo Tan was shocked. The footsteps were already very close, so she could only pick up the clothes by the rock and sink into the water.

Luo Tan knew how to swim, but it was not easy to bury her head in the water. The footsteps stopped at the edge of the hot spring, but they did not leave for a long time. Gradually, Luo Tan felt that it was extremely difficult to breathe. She wanted to surface, but she was only wearing an undergarment.

Luo Tan was stubborn just like the rest of the Luo family. When that person stopped at the edge of the hot spring and did not leave, Luo Tan hid in the water and refused to surface. However, as time passed, Luo Tan’s eyes became blurry and her mind was blank. She felt that she was probably going to die here before she could see what the Daliang Dynasty looked like…

She heard someone say vaguely above her, “You’re quite good at holding your breath. Are you planning to suffocate yourself to death?”

Luo Tan’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and suddenly jumped out of the water. However, she was still rational. She only stuck her head out of the water, but her body was hidden under it. Fortunately, the hot spring water was steaming, so her body couldn’t be seen.

“Tsk.” That person said, “I thought you could last longer.”
