The night fell quickly, and finally, it was deep into the night when people were sleeping the soundest.
Little Liufu awoke in the middle of the night. Xiaoxiao took care of Little Liufu's eating, drinking, and other needs; she held him in her arms and fell asleep. Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming also filled their stomachs.
Yang Ming saw it was a good time to escape, so he called everyone to get up.
After everything was ready, everyone squeezed into a room without lighting any wax. Furthermore, Little Shitou's family was so poor that they didn't have such things as wax.
Everyone was present, and they remained silent, tacitly following Yang Ming's lead. They only heard Yang Ming say, "We are about to leave. If you need to use the restroom, hurry up so it won't be troublesome on the road later."
