The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 327 The Republic of China's Double Detectives 1

"The world we're going to travel to this time is set during the War of Resistance against Japan," the system WQBYRZM explained the specific time background to Lu Renkui. "Host, you've arrived. You can open your eyes now."

Lu Renkui opened her eyes and found herself squatting on a relatively gentle slope by the river, holding a stick and a piece of clothing in her hand. It seemed that the original owner of this body was washing clothes before they entered.

"Host, have you adapted? If you have, I'll start telling you the plot." The voice of System WQBYRZM appeared in his mind. Lu Renkui came back to his senses and nodded to let System WQBYRZM continue.

"The original owner's name was Mu Wanqing. She was originally a child from a poor peasant family. Because her family could not pay the rent to the landlord, Mu Wanqing and her brother were taken away by the landlord. Mu Wanqing's brother became a long-term laborer in the landlord's house, while Mu Wanqing became a maid in the landlord's house."

"When Mu Wanqing went to wash the feet of the landlord's fourth wife, the landlord happened to come looking for his fourth wife. He saw Mu Wanqing's face at a glance, thought she was very beautiful, and forced her to become his ninth wife."

"Mu Wanqing was unwilling—how could a 13-year-old girl possibly like an old man who was almost 80?—and then she was targeted by the landlord's family."

"Being targeted for so long was too much for Mu Wanqing to bear. On top of that, she heard that her parents were also being targeted because she refused to become the landlord's ninth concubine. And because her parents couldn't afford the suddenly soaring rent, they both hanged themselves."

"Mu Wanqing went completely mad. After that, she was not kept in sight and ran into the deep mountains and forests. No one could find her, and she starved to death there."

After listening to the original owner's life experiences in the original timeline, Lu Renkui sighed: "The old society can kill people. System, how exactly do we do this mission?"

"Main task - help Mu Wanqing escape from the landlord's house," the system WQBYRZM said while bringing up the task bar and began to read. "Secondary task - save Mu Wanqing's family members as much as possible and plan a new path for Mu Wanqing so that her tragedy will not happen again."

"Okay, I understand." Lu Renkui said, continuing to hit the clothes with the wooden stick. "System, what timeline are we in now?"

"The current timeline is 12 hours before Mu Wanqing was chosen by the landlord," the system WQBYRZM replied.

After learning the exact time, Lu Renkui began to think of a plan: he needed some time to plan his escape from the landlord's house, because he didn't know how the landlord's patrol personnel were arranged, and it would be troublesome if he ran out rashly and got caught.

Moreover, you need to run when there are the fewest people around, preferably when the landlord's whole family is out and not at home, as that will definitely increase your chances of escaping.

We also need to check the surrounding environment of the landlord's house. The system said that after Mu Wanqing went crazy, she ran into the deep mountains and forests and couldn't be found. Maybe we can hide in the mountains, but we might get lost. Getting lost would be terrible. We need to scout the location in advance. We don't know if we'll have the chance to scout the location. If we don't have the chance, we'll have to think of another way.

Moreover, you need to think about what you need to do after you run away, otherwise you will starve to death if you have no source of income, can't afford food, and can't find wild vegetables.

According to the original owner's memories, after washing the clothes, Lu Renkui folded them all and then carried the laundry tub back home.

After hanging up the clothes, Lu Renkui was just about to leave when she heard someone calling her.

"Hey, you over there, come here." A sharp female voice appeared behind him. Lu Renkui knew without thinking that the voice was calling him, because he was the only one hanging clothes there.

Turning around, she saw a well-dressed girl. Lu Renkui checked Mu Wanqing's memories and recognized her as Fengyue, the head maid who managed Mu Wanqing and the others.
