Yun Jiuqing asked, puzzled, "Why didn't you do this earlier? If you had left Shuize County sooner, you wouldn't have had to suffer for so long, you wouldn't have had to endure so much hardship!"

That so-called Earth Deity seemed to have only cast a poison curse upon them, and beyond that, there were no other restraints. Therefore, they could have left Shuize County and Dawu Village much earlier.
After leaving that place, if they didn't mention this incident, wouldn't they have lived in peace?
The man replied with bitterness, "Young master, how easy do you think it is to abandon one's home and leave?"
"At the beginning when this incident occurred, the officers from the county government kept a close watch. They guarded every main road and even the smaller paths strictly."
"It wasn't until recently that they relaxed their vigilance a bit."
"Giving us a chance to escape."
