Three years later
An Jie fled from the Gu family, her body covered in wounds.
Throughout these three years, An Jie had no idea how many beatings she had endured.
Her head had been injured and bleeding, her ribs broken, and her arms and legs had been fractured and then set back into place numerous times.
To prevent her from escaping, the Gu family kept her locked up at home, making it difficult for her to step outside.
That day, the Gu family had all gone out to visit relatives.
Because she had behaved relatively well recently, seemingly having lost the desire to flee, Gu Ahu had relaxed his vigilance over her this period of time.
So, she took advantage of the Gu family's absence to figure out a way to escape.
Upon leaving, An Jie managed to take her identification and some money with her.
She sneaked out of the village and took a bus back to Xiaogou Village.
During these three years, An Jie had especially longed to return to Xiaogou Village.
