"My cousin's literary talent is unmatched."
Wen Ya smiled sweetly and said, "I think this big lion mask is very suitable for your temperament, cousin. Cousin, let me put it on you."
Wen Zhixi said, "It is indeed special. I have been walking around tonight and have not seen anyone like him."
Those masks are either monkeys, rabbits, or deer.
In contrast, this lion mask is very eye-catching.
Just as Chu Li put it on, a happy voice came from the other side:
"Ari-nii-nii!"
He quickly turned his head to look: "Mu Xue."
Qin Muxue led Qin Muyu and trotted over happily, waving her hands. At first glance, he could see the big lion mask she was wearing.
"ah!"
"Brother Ahri, you look so special and majestic wearing this mask."
The mask has hair stuck on it, making it look lifelike, just like a vivid lion head.
Chu Li smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll put it on for you."
After saying that, she took it off.
Wen Ya's expression changed slightly, and she said hurriedly:
"This is a gift from me to you, cousin."
"It's okay, Mu Xue is not an outsider, I just wear it for a while."
"Cousin!"
Wen Ya looked a little anxious, but she was too late to stop herself. Chu Li had already put it on Qin Muxue, and Qin Muxue gave Chu Li the rabbit mask he had bought long ago.
Wen Ya clenched her fingertips, wanting to say something but stopping herself...
-
dark place.
A group of "common people" dressed in cloth clothes lowered their heads and mixed in the crowd. Upon closer inspection, they had daggers hidden in their waists, and their eyes were fierce:
"Look for the one wearing a lion mask."
"There are too many people here. You can light up a few stalls selling lanterns and mess up the street..."
"Don't worry, boss. We understand."
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the lights come on.
At the busiest hour of the night, suddenly, a scream was heard:
"The fire is coming!"
“Oh my god!”
The lantern stalls were connected together, and once they caught fire, half of the street was on fire. The people were so scared that they ran away in all directions: "What a big fire!"
“Run!”
As they ran, they pushed and shoved each other. Chu Li in the crowd was knocked to the ground along with Wen Zhixi and Wen Ya.
He didn't even have time to get up before he was pushed and trampled by the crowded crowd.
Chu Li immediately straightened his waist and protected the two of them under his body.
“Ah——cousin!”
Chu Li shouted, "There are too many people, the situation is out of control! Quickly hide under the table next to you and hold your head! Protect your head!"
She covered the two of them and hid them, but when she looked up, she saw Qin Muxue, who was wearing a lion mask, being covered by the mouth by two men in plain clothes, and was knocked unconscious and taken away.
"Mu Xue!"
She rushed forward, but was pushed away by the crowd.
"Muxue! Muxue!"
Chu Li immediately pushed through the crowd, but after wasting only three or four seconds, he could no longer find any trace of Qin Muxue.
Over there, Qin Muyu had just bought some red date soft cakes, but upon hearing the news of the fire, he hurried back:
“Ahri…”
"Something happened!" Chu Li grabbed his hand, "Qin Muxue was taken away."
"What!"
"Go call someone!"
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival and there are a lot of people in the city. In order to allow people inside and outside the city to celebrate the festival together, the city gates are allowed to be closed at the second watch.
Chu Li immediately ran towards the city gate. "You go call for help, I'll have the soldiers close the city gate! As long as they are still in the city, everything will be fine. Don't let them leave the city!"
Qin Muyu threw away the red date cake in his hand and immediately went to call for help.
Wen Zhixi and Wen Ya hid under the table.
"How could this happen! Why was Miss Qin arrested for no reason?" Wen Zhixi said anxiously, "There are so many women in the imperial capital, why did they arrest only Miss Qin!"
Wen Ya curled up to one side, hugged her legs, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes flickered...
