Chapter 8
Early this morning, because it was the Moon Festival, General Shen and his son went out early.

Everyone in the mansion was overjoyed by the festive atmosphere, and Yunzhi took out the moon lantern she made last night early and hung it in the Yunyuan where Shen Ange lived.

"Miss, how about I give you a unique style today?"

Yun Zhi held a plate of jewelry, and laid them out one by one on the dowry.

Shen Ange sat in front of the bronze mirror and let her play with it.

It rained heavily last night, and the air this morning was damp and cold, Yun Zhi picked out a large cloak for her, held it in her hand and asked her: "Girl, can we wear this when we go out later?"

"It's all right, but I have to go say hello to Auntie first."

Today, neither father nor elder brother can come back. During the day, it is only me and my mother. According to the custom, I will make moon cakes for my mother. Unfortunately, I am not good at cooking, so don't spoil my mother's stomach.

So I went to the kitchen and took moon cakes to the front hall.

Shen An sang Fuli: "Morning, Aunt."

On this festival, Shen Ange's figure appeared in the front hall early in the morning, and Shen's mother was very surprised.

"Ge'er, come quickly."

She really grew up, and she even remembered the custom of offering sacrifices to the moon. According to the past, she couldn't remember so much, she would only remember her Mr. Zhou Jing, and now she is very clear with that Zhou family, and she has changed a lot.

"Mother, eat and watch. Ge'er originally wanted to cook it herself, but Ge'er is not good at cooking. You also know that mother will use it first, and Ge'er will learn to cook it for mother later."

Her words reached Shen's mother's heart, and Su Yuzhen had the feeling that there was a young girl in my family.

"My daughter will make a wish to the moon god, and may the Shen family be safe and happy forever."

At noon, Shen Ange received a letter from Zhao Zhiyin asking her to go out together after dinner, so she was already preparing for going out at night.

As night fell and the lights came on, even at the door you could see the lanterns lit up on the long street.

As expected of the emperor's order, the market was crowded with people after dinner today.

Zhao Zhiyin waved to Shen Ange from a distance, and when she approached the gate of the house, Zhao Zhiyin saluted Mrs. Shen, and the two of them went to the street together with Yunzhi.

Shen Ange was wearing a goose-yellow long dress and a white fur coat, which made her jade-like skin more crystal clear, and the jade pendant around her waist was crisp and melodious.

Her long black hair was casually tied in a bun, and a golden hairpin was inserted obliquely, which made her look pure and noble.

In contrast, Zhao Zhiyin was much more casual, and her men's attire was extremely neat, which also matched her personality very well.

Shen Ange waved, signaled the little maid behind her to come forward, pointed to a moon lantern praying for safety, and asked, "Yunzhi, do you think this is good-looking? Let's buy it and put a moon lantern by the river, and pray for my father and brother." Safety."

"The girl chooses the best, not to mention the girl has a unique eye."

"Zhiyin, what do you think?"

"The ones you pick look good."

"Okay, then buy this."

After giving money, the three of them took the moon lanterns and found a secluded corner along the river. Zhao Zhiyin was always a boy, and it was very casual to put the moon lanterns.

And Shen Ange lit the moon lantern he just bought, rolled up his sleeves and placed it on the river, clasped his hands together and made a wish.

The moon lanterns on the river flow down the water, flickering faintly, drifting quietly, shining the light of hope.

The girl was squatting by the river, with the maid and her friend standing behind her. They stayed for a while before coming up from the river bank. This place is indeed a bit secluded.

Yun Zhi teased her: "Girl, why don't you make a wish to find Mr. Right?"

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she raised her hand to pat her on the head: "Nonsense, I made a wish to marry you off early."

Suddenly, raindrops fell from the sky, which caught everyone off guard. Zhao Zhiyin dragged Shen Ange and ran towards the pavilion by the river. Fortunately, he arrived at the pavilion before the heavy rain.

Shen Ange patted the rain off his body, untied his coat and said, "Come in, you two, although you are wearing thick clothes, it is still cold, let's keep warm together."

Yun Zhi hurriedly pressed her hand, wrapped the cloak back, and told her carefully: "Miss, don't worry about me, your health is not good, you still take care of yourself."

Zhao Zhiyin also pressed her shoulder and said: "What Yun Zhi said is to you, you should take care of yourself. I practice martial arts, so I won't be able to freeze."

This was the first time that there was such a heavy rain on the Moon Festival, and a dull feeling weighed on her heart, something was wrong, something was wrong in Shen Ange's heart, and no matter what, she would always think of the man who made her afraid.

"Let's go back home when the rain stops."

"Miss isn't shopping anymore?"

"Don't go shopping now?"

"No more shopping."

The rain came suddenly and fiercely, but it dissipated quickly, but it seemed that water could be squeezed out of the air.

After a quarter of an hour, the rain stopped, Shen Ange and the others returned to the market, and walked towards the Shen residence.

The sound of fighting came from far away, as if in the alley across the street, Shen Ange heard it.

After walking a few steps, she finally sighed helplessly: "You are waiting for me here, I will be back soon."

Without waiting for Yun Zhi to ask her, she quickly ran back, looking for the sound.

Along the way, she was thinking about how to get out of the body. Her father taught her not to ignore death, but also to take care of herself when saving others.

But there was no one around this alley, and I was afraid that Zhiyin would not be able to beat him, otherwise it would be good to yell to attract people to watch.

I stretched my head out and saw that fortunately there were only two people who could be rescued.

In the alley, the masked man in black pointed his sword at the man on the ground and said in a disdainful tone, "Run, why don't you run away."

"Hurry up and deal with him, the Lord said he wants to die."

Outside the alley, Shen Ange took out the fireworks that were going to be set off by the river from his sleeve, but they didn't make it due to the heavy rain, so it happened to come in handy.

After lighting the fireworks and throwing them over, with a crackling sound, Shen Ange stood at the entrance of the alley and yelled for someone to come.Xu Shi was frightened by this sudden change, the two thought that someone was coming, fearing that the matter would be exposed, they jumped up and fled from the wall.

Shen Ange waited for the fireworks to go off, then lifted her skirt and walked in against the wall. The alley was too dark, only a little moonlight came in, and she could see clearly that there was a boy lying on the ground, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see clearly. .

He was panting, the color of blood blended with the dark clothes, if it wasn't for the strong smell of blood, it would be impossible to tell whether he was injured or not.

Shen Ange squatted down with her skirt in her arms, and patted his face: "Hey, are you okay? Hello?"

"Well."

The lying boy made a sound, and suddenly opened his eyes, the cold light in his eyes made Shen Ange instinctively take two steps back.

She resisted the urge to scream, calmed down, and stayed a few steps away from him. Although she often followed her father in and out of the barracks, there was no one in the army who was as terrifying as him.

It reminded her of Gu Qing, but the body shape of this person didn't look like Gu Qing from the previous life.

After a few steps away, she felt safe, so she asked boldly, "Can you still move? I'll call someone to rescue you?"

Shen Ange looked at the person in front of him.

After all, she turned around and was about to walk out of the alley, with a bang, accompanied by the cold light of the weapon, a dagger landed a little in front of Shen Ange's feet, blocking Shen Ange's way, she let out an exclamation, and took a breath.

The dagger clearly sliced ​​through his neck just now, but he changed course because of lack of strength.

With lingering fear in her heart, she swallowed instinctively, stepped back, and turned to face him: "I, I will not harm you, just now, I was the one who saved you."

Subconsciously, he thought she was calling for someone, and he threw out the dagger under stress. The smell of fireworks was followed by a relaxing medicinal fragrance, which was refreshing, and his vision was blurred by blood, so he couldn't see the person coming. You can only hear her voice, clear and sweet.

He vaguely saw her tremblingly stretching out her hand, throwing the money in front of him, telling him to find the doctor, wrapping the handkerchief on his injured hand, and he didn't stop her from fleeing like flying.

Rescuing him and being afraid of him, could it be the bait, his body is full of bloody smell, filthy, and just now, he really wanted to kill her to silence her,
Turning over, he lay on the ground panting for a while, then got up to pick up the silver on the ground, and left with the wall.

Shen Ange ran back to the two of them, bending over and panting.

Yun Zhi calmly said for her: "Miss, where did you go, if you don't come, I will go back to the mansion and bring someone to look for you."

"An Ge, what did you do just now?"

"No...it's okay, let's go, let's go back home."

Shen Ange and the others left, and the rescued boy took out a pill from his arms and ate it, then walked around the corner into a courtyard.
