Chapter 14

The red silk wedding invitations are full, and the night is coming;

There was a lot of laughter and laughter.

The window was nailed from the outside in a criss-cross pattern by wooden planks. Standing by the window, Ember saw such a scene through the hole in the window paper.

People come and go outside, and there are many jewels, beads and jade ornaments on the tray, as well as all kinds of rare ornaments, even the utensils are strange in shape and exquisite in workmanship, not to mention the materials used, gold, silver, copper, jade Everything you need, if you don't mention it, others will think that this is a big family's wedding.

"Did sister see anything?"

Cui Shexi came over suddenly, he lay down on the window sill, stretched out his hand and poked another hole, closed one eye and looked out, looked for a while, but didn't see anything else, so he just said in a daze: "The bandits are really rich, these things are not worth it. Usually, they are used in the palace!"

He looked up at Ember, trying to see half of Ember's face covered by the wide hood from this angle.

Ember walked away and sat back at the table to look at Zhan Shuyun, and asked, "The opportunity has come, should we go or stay?"

Zhan Shuyun tapped on the table, "I'll stay, you guys go."

Cui Shexi came over and was about to speak, when there was the sound of chains shaking at the door, Zhan Shuyun winked at Ember, Ember nodded slightly, and reached out to grab the teacup on the table.

"You two young masters, this is a wedding dress..."

Zhan Shuyun and Yu Jin looked at each other, walked behind the two maidservants, and smashed down the teacup with a knife in one hand, with lightning speed.

Cui Shexi felt inconceivable about the sudden change, but he moved faster than his mind and jumped up to connect the two trays that were about to fall. , for fear that breathing would destroy the balance, he turned around and put it away with a sigh of relief, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

His heart was thumping, his breath was short of breath, he was both excited and scared, if something went wrong in this series of actions before and after, it would be hard to say whether they could still stand here safely.

"If you don't discuss any actions with me, it's better to tell me in advance." Cui Shexi said with a suppressed voice.

Ember apologized, "It's a temporary decision, and it's too late to talk to Mr. Cui, so don't blame me."

Cui Shexi didn't care about it on purpose, so he waved his hands and squatted over, "It's just two people, or two maidservants, we have three, how do we get out?"

Zhan Shuyun bent down to pick up a set of bright red wedding clothes, and said to the two: "You put on maidservant's clothes and go out, I will stay."

The door closed and then opened, two maidservants came out with trays one after the other, the latter stumbled at the door and let out a low voice while pinching her throat.

"Oh!"

Sprained feet, disheveled hair, covered eyebrows and eyes.

The first one quickly turned around and supported him, "Is your foot sprained, are you okay? I'll help you walk, watch the road carefully."

The voice is the same as the female voice heard when entering the door.

"Go back quickly if you're hurt, let someone else take over the buddy in your hand, don't delay the matter."

The gatekeeper mumbled.

The maid apologized again and again, "Yes, yes, the servants can save it, so let's go down here."

As they spoke, they limped away one by one, keeping their heads down from the beginning to the end, looking pleasing to the eye with their eyebrows lowered.

Avoiding the noisy crowd, walking to a remote corner, two maidservants stopped, one of the maidservants raised her head suddenly, and the tail of the skirt quickly lifted off the ground, drooping on her calf, at the same time, the maidservant beat her waist and kicked her legs, saying: "Finally come out Already!"

It's not who Cui Shexi is.

"Sister is amazing, the voice is really similar!"

Ember straightened up immediately, and she looked up at the night sky, carefully watching, listening, and feeling...

Cui Shexi looked around, and imitated Ember to look up into the sky.

After a while, Cui Shexi lowered his head and touched his neck.

He glanced blankly.

"There will be a strong wind tonight." Ember suddenly said.

What does this have to do with them?
However, "Do you know how to watch the stars at night?"

Cui Shexi raised his head again, then lowered his head, and then raised his head again. After repeating several times, he still didn't see any clues. He only felt that the moon tonight was really cool.

He couldn't help shivering, and the idea of ​​taking off the maid's outer clothes was temporarily dismissed. Without him, keeping warm is the most important thing now.

He squeezed his neck and hugged his arms and urged: "Sister, we have to go out to watch the stars. Now is the most relaxed time. If these bandits find out that something is wrong later, it will be difficult for us to go out again."

"Do you know how to get out?"

Cui Shexi nodded and shook his head again, "I'm not sure that the guards in other places are too strict. If I want to run, I can only run to the west. There are no people in the deep mountains and old forests. The disadvantage is that the situation is unknown. Most of the deep mountains have fierce beasts. If you are unlucky, you can still belch fart."

The topography of this ghostly place was still touched by him when he was captured last time.

"Fortunately, it's winter now, and most animals are hibernating. If we're lucky, we'll be able to escape." Cui Shexi stomped forward to lead the way, "I'll take you there."

After walking for two steps without hearing footsteps, Cui Shexi turned around in doubt, and saw Ember still standing in the same place pensively, and had no intention of following up at all.

"younger sister?"

Ember turned her head to look to the southeast, and curled her lips, "Master Cui, have you ever heard of the darkness under the lamp?"

The wind tonight is not a wind, but a demon wind.

At three o'clock in Xu time, the wind came from the northwest, and the clouds rolled in, covering the sky and covering the moon, the wind howling, the sand making waves, locking the moon and blocking the light.

"You are really..." God and man!

Before he finished speaking, the wind and sand filled his mouth, and he had to close it, covering his mouth with his sleeve.

Ember threw out the specially made retractable flying tiger claws, went upwind, and grabbed the top of the wall without any effort. She grabbed it, made sure to grab it firmly, and then wrapped one hand around Cui Shexi, "Hold tight."

After saying that, he stepped hard on his feet and stepped on the wall along the rope to climb steadily.

Cui Shexi's heart tightened, and he stretched out his hand and hugged Ember's neck, his legs circled Ember's waist, and hung on Ember's body like a bear child.

Ember took Cui Shexi a few steps before disappearing on top of the inner wall.

"Did you see anything on the wall just now? There seems to be something." Someone asked suspiciously.

"No...I didn't see it." The man looked carefully again, "No, it must have been blown by the strong wind."

"Maybe, maybe it's my eyesight..."

With the help of Tianshi and Zhan Shuyun, Yu Jin took Cui Shexi out of the bandit village very smoothly, and found a place to rest and hide under a leeward rock, waiting for the evil wind to pass through.

Cui Shexi covered his mouth, and the sand was blown by the wind and fell on the two of them. He dared not open his mouth again after tasting a mouthful of sand, but this did not prevent his eyes from being bright. He was panting, and his heart was beating violently. This time it was not because Terrified, but extremely excited.

The scene where the embers led him over the wall was recurring in his mind over and over again, he was excited and ashamed, why she was so witty and brave, why he was not as good as other girls, and he still hung on her, his reputation was ruined...

Thoughts tossed back and forth, and the wind shifted suddenly, hindering his bright eyes.

"Oh, I lost my eyes!"

 It's New Year's Eve, the last time of 2022 in the lunar calendar, and the New Year's Eve is coming soon. I wish everyone all the best and better in the new year!
  happy New Year!

  See you again in the Year of the Rabbit!
