As the night fell, the blue light began to appear, and people walking on the main road appeared.

There were those who carried carts carrying burdens to catch up early, and there were those who carried baskets to pick up cow dung and horse manure, and when they saw officers and soldiers on the main road, the young men carrying the burdens hesitated.

"What's going on?"

The old man with the cart had obviously seen it many times, and his expression was relaxed: "It's okay, it's okay, during the flood season of the Yinghe River, the government has mobilized soldiers and horses to guard the river embankment, and has also set up sentry posts everywhere, so that the people can be evacuated in time, rest assured, go casually, especially if we go out from the inside, we won't check."

The young man who was carrying the burden breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that this was a bit strange: "Go out from the inside and don't check? Do you want to check if you come from outside?"

"Looks like I want to check." The old man with the cart said, "It seems that some merchants are taking advantage of the flood season to hoard and disturb the price of grain, but we don't understand."

As they spoke, they had already walked to the checkpoint of the officers and soldiers, looking at their group, the officers and soldiers only glanced at them and ignored them, and when the people who collected dung looked to the side, because there were soldiers and horses, there was a lot of dung-

"Pick it up, pick it up." An officer and soldier also said generously.

The dung pickers were overjoyed, thanked them again and again, and stepped forward to pick up the horse manure.

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers stepped forward to inquire, not only looking through the items they were carrying, but also looking through the people inside and out, as if they were looking for something, but if they were really looking for hoarded materials, how much could they hide on their bodies?

After some noise, the man was disheveled, holding his hat, and was let go in annoyance.

The dung picker retracted his gaze, thanked the officers and soldiers for his kindness, and continued to move forward along the road, picking up seriously until the chirping of birds came from the front.

He looked up and saw the young man who had been carrying the burden earlier hiding behind a large tree and beckoning.

"Master, Master, here."

The dung picker walked over and took off his hat and fake white hair, which turned out to be the Golden Dragon Dance and his apprentice who had been running last night.

"The officers and soldiers seem to be looking for something." The apprentice whispered, "But why do you only check those who come from outside, and not those who go from the inside?"

Jin Longwu had a calm face: "Because the person they want to investigate will only go from the outside to the inside at this time."

The apprentice blinked, "Who is it?"

Jin Longwu raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "You idiot, of course it's us." With that, he lifted his feet and walked back.

The apprentice hurriedly grabbed him, "Master, where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going back to tell everyone that we've been treated as turtles in an urn." Jin Longwu said.

The apprentice also understood, this is really amazing, Momen was about to be served by someone, he took out his burden and followed: "Fortunately, Master, you lost to that woman, otherwise we wouldn't have left overnight, and we wouldn't have .....found out."

As he said this, the golden dragon dance walking in front of him stopped, and the little apprentice was caught off guard against his back.

"That woman...," Golden Dragon Dance said.

The little apprentice was puzzled and rubbed his nose: "What's wrong with that woman?"

"I wonder if that woman is .....," said the Golden Dragon Dance, pausing at this point, as if she didn't know what to say.

The little apprentice was just about to ask, when someone leaned out from the big tree in front of him and let out a sigh.

….

The two of them were startled without being wary, and the little apprentice screamed even more, hiding behind the Golden Dragon Dance.

Jin Longwu looked up and saw a person on the big tree, wearing a Confucian robe, and there was a bookshelf beside him.

"What are you doing?" The startled little apprentice shouted angrily.

The man pointed to the book in his hand, "Read."

What the hell, the little apprentice said angrily, "How can anyone read on a tree?"

"It's quiet in the trees." The man said.

The little apprentice was about to say something, but Jin Longwu grabbed him and looked at the scholar on the tree with a bit of scrutiny: "We've bothered you, so let's go."

"Wait, I have a question

I ask you." The scholar said, looking through the scrolls, "What is the use of the rules of the wheel and the rules of the craftsmen?"

Jin Longwu glanced at him: "Of course, it is to measure the radius of the world."

The scholar on the tree sighed, "Sure enough, it's my own person." As he spoke, he climbed down the branches, "You make sense from within, don't you?"

The little apprentice was a little puzzled, "What does it mean to be reasonable?"

Jin Longwu looked at the scholar who had climbed down and stood in front of him, and asked, "What happened?"

"The town of White Mansions is surrounded by officers and soldiers." The scholar said that he was caught late and was rescued by the young lady.

"The young lady told me to keep watch outside and stop the people who came after." The scholar said, "She went in and tried to save everyone without alarming anyone."

Speaking of which, the scholar asked again.

"So you saw the young lady, right? How did she make sense?"

Although it was never said what the young lady's name was, what she looked like, or how old she was, it seemed that everyone should know who she was talking about.

The Golden Dragon Dance did know.

"See." He said with a complicated expression, "She won me and drove me out."

......

......

The wheeled cart rolled indoors, and the candle flame jumped, which made the room even darker, and the shopkeeper Lu reached out to extinguish the light.

"You ....." Wei Dongjia stopped walking and looked at Qixing.

He wanted to say that you shouldn't have come in, but considering this girl's temperament, she would never sit idly by.

Seven Stars put the disassembled lantern up little by little.

"I let people leave with the rules of the loser leaving." She said

Arrogant people are common in Momen, so it is not surprising that Seven Stars behaves like this.

The people in Momen are proud, so it's not surprising that everyone loses and keeps their promises and leaves.

This will not be noticeable.

"As long as you walk outside, you can find the problem, and the people who can come here are smart people, who will know that there is a problem, will hide their identity, and leave quietly and safely."

But it is indeed safe to leave, but it is dangerous to stay, especially with such a dazzling act.

"It doesn't have to be like this at all." Meng Xichang said, sneered, and the iron hand on his side clenched into a fist, "Tell everyone about this matter, and find out the thief!"

Wei Dongjia stopped the wheeled car: "Yes, everyone together, it's better than you alone."

With a soft creak, Qixing embedded the last piece of bamboo bone into the lantern and gently stroked his hand.

"It's one consideration for me to be reasonable, and the other is to .," she said, looking at everyone, "or to compete for the head."

Running for the head?

It's all this time.

Besides, it may be a trap.

The three looked at her.

"If they dare to set this trap, dare to gather everyone together to choose the leader, then I dare to jump into this trap." Seven Stars said, "I not only want to send everyone out, but I also want to make a name for myself and take this position as the head of the house."

She tapped the lantern on the table lightly.

The marquee slowly turned, the light lit up, the axle turned, and the paper shadow flickered.

But this time, the flowers, birds, fish, insects and people on it not only seemed to come alive with the change of lights and shadows, but also really moved.

The originally closed light screen unfolds like a lotus flower, and the candle flame inside also turns into a rolling lamp, turning on the table inside and out, people riding horses, children chasing jade rabbits, and fairies dancing their sleeves, which come to life in the morning light.

Xixing
