The sound of neat footsteps rang out from far to near, accompanied by whip throwing and scolding.

Through the ice crystals and snowflakes floating outside the inn, Han Qiufen sensed that a group of messengers had rushed into Qingpingfang, scattered everywhere, and drove away the people.

Pooh, as if a bubble had burst, the ice crystal snowflakes suspended in the air that had not attracted anyone's attention suddenly disappeared into the air.

Han Qiufen turned around and walked quickly towards the scholar who was still frowning and meditating, grabbed his sleeve robe, and ran towards the corridor.

The scholar didn't struggle, and with the strength of the autumn equinox, the two of them bent over and walked briskly in the corridor, pausing from time to time to hear if there was anyone in the room.

"Hey, the autumn equinox is here!" The scholar looked at the ridged window in front of him and hurriedly patted Han Qiu's leg.

There was a slight knock on the door, but no one answered inside.

Han Qiufen turned his head and glanced at the scholar, and the two of them went in along the paper window one after the other.

The two people who slipped away from the bell tower must have been seen, and the two knew that they still hadn't seen their faces, but the two robes, one black and one gray, had to be changed.

The small room that I turned into was no different from the ordinary inn room, with a screen, a bathtub, a round table, a small chair, and a bed.

Next to the window was the door, which was facing a large wooden barrel of half height, which was half-enclosed by a screen, and on which hung two white cloth towels.

The bed was directly facing the screen, and there was a small round table not far from the small window that the two had just climbed into, and there was a chair next to it.

The scholar touched his chin and looked around the small room, walked to the wooden barrel behind the screen, and gently kicked the night pot on the ground,

This room has a guest.

The autumnal equinox gently took off the stick, lowered and closed the wooden window, and then walked into the house.

At the head of the carved wooden bed was a wooden chest that looked like the color of the wall, a small wooden box with a slight scarlet tinge of dark brown.

It seems that it must be the clothes of the owner of this house.

"Master, our guest officers here all show the wayside, this is the book, please check the ......"

An official came downstairs and was checking the identity of the guest.

The scholar didn't delay any longer, walked over quickly, grabbed the lock on the small wooden box and pressed it hard.

Trumpet!

The wooden box was opened.

This...... The color of the outside of the wooden box...... It's not painted.

Rubbing his fingers, the scholar carefully stroked the small wooden box from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom.

The texture is tough, cool and warm......

What material is this?

"Don't delay!"

Seeing that the scholar showed a confused expression again, the original kneeling posture also became a cross-legged sitting, and he had the strength to break the casserole and ask the end. Han Qiufen hurriedly let out a low snort and summoned his god back.

The material covered inside the box is lighter than the outside, and the color is lighter, almost a faint halo color.

The inside of the box is about half a foot deep, and the whole is not small.

Clothes!

Mask?

As soon as the scholar looked closer, he saw a few pages of cloth with embroidery needle patterns, which were clothes, and the colors were ...... It seems to be both men and women.

Are the guests a couple?

So why are they still wearing masks......

It was about two dozen or so masks of human faces that were spread all over the box, falling from each other.

The background color is white, the mask has outlined eyes and mouth, and the nose vents, and nothing else.

The style of the mask is very ordinary.

Han Qiufen watched as the scholar picked up a mask from the box,

Picked up another mask,

This is repeated over and over again, sometimes even bringing the mask back in front of him and comparing it with the mask held with the other hand.

Han Qiufen, who felt very curious, also knelt down beside the scholar and raised his hand to pick up the two masks that had been messed up by the scholar on the ground.

They were two masks that were almost identical, with slightly hooked corners of their mouths and the same white face.

Eye!

Bitter smiles and smiles, both lips slightly raised, maybe in terms of personal preference, some people will have more, some people will have less, but the difference is not carried.

But those two pairs of eyes ...... A pair with helplessness.... There is some banter in a pair.

Look to the side,

It's still a smiling mask, but the arc combined with those eyes, revealing kindness.

These 20 or so masks are extremely exaggerated, but they can make people see the difference at a glance and feel the emotions revealed on a fake face.

That feels...... It was as if the skin of the two dozen people had been peeled off from their faces at that moment.

"Hmph, I'll go up and have a look, uncle!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The wooden staircase was quickly beaten by footsteps, and the official downstairs went upstairs.

Looking at those masks, the scholar and the autumn equinox looked at each other, and then invariably reached for the clothes under the masks.

Pull the mask on the ground with your hand.

One of them drew a coat that was different from black and gray, and the two ran behind the screen together and quickly changed.

In a panic, a mask wrapped in the scholar's clothes fell out, and the scholar hurriedly caught it, crooked his mouth twice, and hung the mask in his hand on the screen.

The edge of the screen is facing the small paper window, and the face of the mask is facing the small paper window at this time.

It's a mouth that is not smiling, but laughing at the same time, and the light in those eyes is the most incomprehensible.

It's just that at this moment, the black pupil, staring at the small paper window in front of him, seems to be shaking imperceptibly in the white and bloodshot eyes.

Maybe the screen is shaking......
