Chapter 1284: Chapter 1106: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao simply turned around and walked back.

However, after walking a while longer, she heard the sound of footsteps from several people behind her. In that moment, she knew something was wrong; there must have been people lying in wait in the alley, ready to ensnare women like her who were alone.

She didn’t care anymore and started to run, while the people behind her gave chase relentlessly.

After all, she had trained in Kung Fu and her lightness skill was not bad either. She quickly shook off the people behind her, and when she reached the main street outside, she immediately darted into an inn nearby. After entering the inn, she looked back and saw several people running out of the alley entrance. They were stomping their feet and spitting, cursing because they couldn’t catch up.

Xia Dabao’s heart pounded wildly.

Fortunately, her vigilance was high; if she had really been caught, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, someone unexpectedly patted her from behind. Startled, she quickly turned around and, without thinking, swung her arm, immediately eliciting a pained cry of "Aiyo" from behind.

"Lady, why did you hit someone?" The inn’s waiter, struck in the eye by Xia Dabao, was covering his eye and wailing on the ground. Xia Dabao, knowing she had hit the wrong person, hurried over to help him up: "Aiyo, I didn’t mean to, but you suddenly popped up and it was really frightening, sorry, so sorry."

"I saw you standing at the entrance and wanted to ask if you were going to stay at the inn, but then you..."

"I’ll stay at the inn, of course, I’ll stay. Let’s go make a deposit right now..." Xia Dabao was both apologizing and explaining.

...

That night, Xia Dabao stayed in a room at the inn.

The room wasn’t soundproof, and she could always hear the voices of men and women from next door. She tried her best to fall asleep quickly, but her mind was filled with thoughts of Tian Xiaobei, then her parents, and also the woman she had encountered that evening.

Alas, Xia Dabao sighed heavily.

No wonder her mother didn’t support her coming to find Tian Xiaobei; this path was truly unsuitable for ordinary ladies to travel.

She felt extremely bedraggled at the moment and still didn’t know what reaction Tian Xiaobei would have upon seeing her.

The next day.

Xia Dabao got up early, not having slept well the previous night, so she wasn’t feeling very spirited. When settling the bill for the room, she tried her luck and asked the waiter if he knew Doctor Tian.

The waiter still had a swollen corner of his eye. Seeing Xia Dabao, he felt some resentment but still told her: "So it turns out you really are sick, it’s no wonder you started hitting people right off the bat."

Xia Dabao was about to get angry, but the waiter continued: "You just follow this road west until you reach Yish Street. If you don’t know the way, just ask where Yish Street is. Dr. Tian is very famous for his medical skill, though I don’t know if he can cure you."

"I’m not here to seek medical treatment," Xia Dabao took the change.

"Then take care," the waiter didn’t respond to Xia Dabao’s words, only hoping she would leave quickly.

He just thought to himself, wondering whether her fits of rage could be cured.

...

Following the waiter’s directions, Xia Dabao walked straight along the street, asking for directions at each fork in the road.

It wasn’t easy to ask people, as some snobbish individuals would shoo her away like a beggar upon seeing Xia Dabao approach, because she was still dressed in the attire of Peach Blossom Village, which looked shabby compared to the bright and glamorous locals of the Provincial City.

There were also some with ill intentions; as soon as Xia Dabao felt something was off in their gaze, she would immediately turn around and keep walking.
