Feng Qing felt a little bit dangerous.
To be honest, there was indeed no one here. Feng Qing couldn't find anyone even if she was blind.
But this place didn't look right.
Feng Qing's mind began to work rapidly. This place looked like a box, but it was not sealed so tightly, and a little light could penetrate. It
was square and neat. At that moment, Feng Qing even had a weird thought in her mind.
Uh, this looks like a coffin.
Just when Feng Qing was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that the "box" shook slightly. The amplitude was not large, but it made Feng Qing's eyes widen. It
was not until this moment that she realized that the "box" she was sitting in was actually moving.
——It can only be said that the sedan chair carrier was indeed too steady, which is why Feng Qing could not find it until now.
What's going on!
Feng Qing's heart was instantly panicked.
A bright red sedan chair slowly passed by on the street, and passers-by on the road looked in this direction, with curiosity on everyone's face.
In ancient times, the bride's marriage was still a relatively attractive thing. It attracted many children along the way, circling around the sedan chair.
Chu Changzui was originally in the inn looking outside, he was afraid that Feng Xiruo would lose control.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Feng Xiruo jumped down from the roof of the inn. He walked over and patted Chu Changzui and said, "The person has been settled."
"Settled?" Chu Changzui said.
"She's in the backyard. I was startled. She's already wearing her wedding dress. It seems she's been poisoned. I don't know how to cure it. Let's leave it there and wait for the shopkeeper to come back." Feng Xiruo wiped the sweat from her head.
Chu Changzui felt relieved after hearing what Feng Xiruo said.
He also looked at the door comfortably, and looked at the street scenery with Feng Xiruo.
Feng Xiruo said, "I see, according to the route they just came, it seems that they are going to pass by the door of our inn. You will be able to see it in a while."
"It's really interesting. When will they find out that the bride is missing?" Chu Changzui looked at the pedestrians on the street with a gloating expression.
"Bride! Here comes the bride!"
"Great! Bride!"
After a while, a few children really ran down the street, laughing as they ran, "Get out of the way! Here comes the bride!"
A small sedan chair was carried over from the end of the street. Chu Changzui took a look, then exchanged a glance with Feng Xiruo, both with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Two sedan bearers, one in front and one behind, came over carrying a sedan chair. The two men lowered their heads, as if they could not hear even the children around them making noises.
Feng Qing finally reacted at this moment, and the place where she was sitting should be a sedan chair.
It was not because she was stupid, but because no matter how big her imagination was, she had never thought that she would be teleported into a sedan chair as soon as she came back.
She was in a state of madness, especially when she heard the children around her laughing and saying "bride", Feng Qing felt that her soul had left her body.
This is actually a sedan chair.
What's going on! Boss, are you crazy? Have you lost hope in this world?
No wonder there is a red light outside this "box", and no wonder it bumps occasionally outside. Feng Qing is not only panicking, but also has weak legs.
She looked at the place where the "curtain" should be several times, but to be honest, the curtains she saw in costume dramas should be fluttering in the wind, why does this one look so tightly closed?
This is also the reason why Feng Qing did not recognize that this was a sedan chair at first.
She sat here swaying for a long time, and suddenly discovered something serious.
...Where is the bride?
Feng Qing was dumbfounded again.
She sat in the middle of the sedan chair as soon as she came. It was also her fault that she sat too comfortably, so she didn't realize this problem until now.
It's impossible that the bride in the sedan chair was lost when she came.
Or, did the bride run away from the marriage?
Feng Qing sat in the sedan chair and began to think about this logical relationship.
Good guy.
The bride ran away from the marriage, and she came.
This plot, even novels dare not write like this, there are so many brides in the world, why did she end up here?
Feng Xiruo and Chu Changzui were waiting at the door. After a while, they suddenly heard a voice coming from behind them.
"Why did you save me?"
The voice sounded a little hoarse. The
person who spoke stopped behind them. Although the two did not turn around, they could feel her complicated expression.
"Because..." Feng Xiruo laughed.
"Although we don't know your identity and origin, if something happens to you, the shopkeeper will probably be angry."
Bai Yan'er, who had just come out, had taken off her wedding gown and was only wearing a white shirt. Her face was also pale, just like her clothes.
"Your shopkeeper?"
After hearing what Feng Xiruo said, Bai Yan'er's eyes widened and her hands trembled slightly.
When she was in a daze in the sedan chair, she had actually accepted her fate. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was carried out by someone, and when she came to her senses, she was here.
Although she had a little premonition in her heart, she still felt incredible when she heard Feng Xiruo admit it.
"Of course, big sister."
She heard another child standing at the door and said with a cute voice: "You don't think we can't see that you have bad intentions?"
- Bai Yan'er also knew this child, who was the cashier in the guest house.
Usually Bai Yan'er never took this child to heart, so when she occasionally thought about something, she would not care about the child beside her.
This was originally forbidden in Jieyi Pavilion, because everyone was taught that when thinking about something, no matter how well you pretend, something will be revealed, but Bai Yan'er didn't care about it at that time.
She still remembered that a few days ago, the child came to her and asked her in a low voice, "Big sister, why are you unhappy?"
Bai Yan'er thought that the child was pure-minded, so he saw something, so she just smiled and lowered her head to say to him, "Sister is not unhappy... Sister just can't figure out some things." Now
, the tone of the child's speech is completely different from that time.
Bai Yan'er listened to the cunning in his words, and said a little dazedly, "You..."
Bai Yan'er didn't know what to say next. But she suddenly remembered another thing.
"Then, what about him?"
As soon as her trembling voice fell, the noise outside suddenly became noisy.
It turned out that the sedan chair was getting closer and closer.
"Him?" Feng Xiruo and Chu Changzui knew that she was talking about the shopkeeper. The two of them looked at each other silently, not knowing what to say.
The shopkeeper had not been in the inn recently. But how should they tell Bai Yan'er about this?
Feng Xiruo was a little embarrassed. They were just trying to find an excuse to get away with this matter, but at this moment, the sedan chair just passed by the door of the inn.
"She should have woken up, right?" said one of the sedan chair drivers.
"Yes." Another sedan chair driver said, "Do we need to open the curtain and call her?"
"Miss Bai, are you awake?" Upon hearing this, the first sedan chair driver shouted into the sedan chair.
"If you are awake, the master has something to give you. Do you want to see it now?"
Chu Changzui and Feng Xiruo heard the voice and subconsciously turned their heads to take a look.
Feng Qing was originally pretending to be dead in the sedan chair. At this moment, she had already thought of countless scripts in her mind.
What is the runaway lady - why did you run away, my woman, and marrying for a marriage - marrying the wrong man in the wrong sedan chair, the more Feng Qing thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She was afraid that even if she explained clearly how she got into the sedan chair, she would be forced to marry.
After all, is this ancient time?
What to do? What to do? When Feng Qing was panicking, she suddenly heard a voice from outside, "Miss Bai, are you awake?"
Her eyes instantly looked towards the window in horror, and her expression froze into an emoticon.
Why did you suddenly speak!
Why! Why!
... Feng Qing is a guy with a simple mind. Specifically, he doesn't like to do math problems, and he will procrastinate on some complicated things.
Just like at this moment, the subconscious reaction in her mind is - delay it as long as possible.
Feng Qing didn't dare to speak. She heard the call from outside, hesitated for a while, and stretched out a hand to take the thing he mentioned.
Feng Xiruo and Chu Changzui were both looking at the sedan chair. They both knew that the sedan chair was empty.
Now the sedan driver poked his head into the sedan chair to inquire, and Chu Changzui slightly raised his eyebrows.
"Oh no, it looks like they are about to find out."
"This is a little earlier than I expected, but to be honest, I quite like seeing their shocked expressions, don't you think?" Feng Xiruo said with a sly smile.
These two people are not timid people. On the contrary, they both like to join in the fun.
However.
Just as they were waiting for the sedan driver to shout for a long time but no one responded, and finally found that there was no one, they suddenly saw a snow-white hand reaching out from the sedan chair.
...
The hand was so white that it almost reflected light. When it stretched out from inside, the sunlight shone on it, making it look particularly conspicuous.
It took the thing held up by the man outside, and then slowly stretched it back.
The whole action was smooth and anyone who saw it could see nothing wrong.
Only the three people at the door of the inn were struck by lightning.
...It seemed like a long, long time had passed.
At the door of the inn, someone asked in a dazed voice, "Did you see that just now?"
"Look, I see it."
The hand that was inexplicably stretched out was like a ghost, appearing without anyone noticing.
"Then, who is sitting in it?" Feng Xiruo asked with blank eyes.
He clearly remembered that he carried the person out of the sedan chair himself.
From the fact that he used the word "what" instead of "who", he seemed to be quite rational and had doubts about the species of the things in the sedan.
Chu Changzui was much less rational than him. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Bai Yan'er behind him with a terrified look.
"It's not me! Don't look at me! I'm not a ghost." Bai Yan'er roared.
After Chu Changzui and Feng Xiruo calmed down, they thought for a while. Feng Xiruo said, "No, I have to catch up and see who is in the sedan."
Chu Changzui also said, "I'll go too. There are a group of kids around. It's just right for me to sneak in."
"I'll go too." Bai Yan'er said.
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Chu Changzui and Feng Wuhen said, "Don't go, it's too dangerous. Besides, the poison in your body hasn't been completely removed yet."
"No, I must go. Besides, who am I looking down on?" Bai Yan'er gathered her hair and tied it up, then went into the kitchen and brought out a basket of vegetables.
Her back was hunched and her voice became older.
"Is it okay for me to pretend to be selling vegetables in this state?"
"Of course, I'm quite capable." Feng Xiruo was a little surprised. He turned his head to look at the sedan chair, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Who on earth entered the sedan chair? This is simply a slap in my face."
He decided to see who had the courage to enter the place where the Thief King had just robbed.
Feng Qing in the sedan chair took the thing that had just been handed in.
The thing was wrapped in a piece of red cloth, and it was square. She touched it and thought, this seems to be a book?
How strange, why give her a book?
It was dark in the sedan chair, Feng Qing spread out the book, and with the help of the faint light, carefully studied the contents of the book for a while.
After about a minute, Feng Qing's expression suddenly became meaningful.
Then she moved closer to the light and looked more carefully.
Human beings often become adults unknowingly at such inexplicable times.
Ah... this kind of thing can be regarded as the only comfort since I came here.
It is said that the painting style of ancient people is very strange. Can they really understand this kind of thing?
About five minutes later, Feng Qing suddenly came to her senses.
No! How could I be immersed in this kind of thing without realizing it!
Conspiracy, definitely a conspiracy!
Feng Qing put the book aside, pointed at it with a hateful expression, thinking that it was this kind of thing that delayed her escape!
After successfully denouncing it, Feng Qing began to continue to ponder how to escape. At this moment, she felt that the sedan seemed to have passed the place just now and arrived at a more secluded alley.
If it really doesn't work... then I can only use that trick. Feng Qing's expression became serious.
——Is it the magic of money?
In ancient times, the status of women would change, society would change, and all kinds of customs would change, but there was one thing that would not change.
That was money.
Feng Qing was honest and said that she had never worried about money since she came to ancient times, because the business of the inn was so good that she could not worry even if she wanted to.
Even if the family did not want to listen to her and wanted to force her to marry them, Feng Qing still had a way - to hit them in the face with money.
She was prepared that if the group of people did not want to listen to her, she would take out money and hit them in the face until they listened.
But to be honest, Feng Qing's money was all in the inn, so how could she have any silver?
She lowered her head and began to search her body.
Apart from her wedding dress, the only items she had were placed in the small bag at her hand.
Keys, tissues, door cards, candies, and...
Feng Qing suddenly found something in her backpack.
A string of red Buddhist beads that had been thrown there at some point.
The beads were made of cinnabar, but in order to make them look better, some golden beads were added to them. They looked glittering and precious, and should have been particularly eye-catching in the eyes of ancient people.
How about using this thing later?
Feng Qing instantly became energetic.
She put the string of Buddhist beads on her hand and hid it under her sleeve, ready to pull it out and start hitting people if it didn't work.
The two sedan chair drivers didn't seem to be moving fast, but they never stopped from beginning to end.
When they reached a deserted place, the two of them sped up their pace. The sedan chair started to move very fast on the road. Even those who accidentally saw it on the way thought they saw a ghost marriage.
The three people from the inn had been following secretly from behind. Feng Xiruo, who had the best light skill, followed in the front. He would leave traces for the people behind him, so he never lost it all the way.
When it was almost evening, the sedan chair slowly entered an empty house.
At this moment, they had already left the town and came to a prosperous area in Jiangnan. Feng Xiruo was secretly shocked when she saw the decorations around.
It seems that the person Miss Bai married was not a simple person.
This is a famous family in Jiangnan, named Miaolian Villa.
Compared with the Life and Death Villa, this place is not so powerful, but its influence in the Jiangnan area is indeed not weak, and it can be regarded as a local snake.
"The person that Miss Bai is going to marry is actually him?" Feng Xiruo pondered secretly in her heart.
The security here is very strict, so Feng Xiruo did not continue to explore forward. He found a tree that is easy to observe and hid, and waited for the two people behind him.
At this time, the villa was decorated with lights and red lanterns everywhere. It looked very lively. There were also wedding candies and wedding wines scattered on the roadside. In front of a small door, there were several matchmakers standing there with smiles on their faces, waiting to pick up people.
"What's the matter?" Chu Changzui and Bai Yan'er just arrived. Bai Yan'er was panting and begging. Feng Xiruo frowned and pointed down, "The sedan is still in the back and will be here soon."
It happened so fast that the top of the sedan just appeared at the end of the street.
The last bit of the setting sun shone on the sedan, making its red surface look with a hint of golden light.
At this moment, although the surroundings were decorated with lights and red silk, the sedan looked inexplicably lonely.
"...Sister Bai, is this the person you are going to marry?" Chu Changzui asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Bai Yan'er looked at it for a while and slowly lowered her head.
"People like me are not born to decide who to marry."
"Who said that?" Feng Xiruo muttered, "I never believe in this kind of thing. In matters between men and women, it's enough for both parties to love each other. How can there be any question of whether they are compatible or not?"
"Yes, that's right." Chu Changzui also chimed in.
"...You are not me, so you won't understand." Bai Yan'er looked at the sedan chair for a long time before speaking slowly.
From childhood to adulthood, she has long been accustomed to such a life, and she has never expected anyone to come to save her.
...
"As you said, Feng Wuhen didn't come today."
In the house with the lights on, the two people laughed and talked.
"Today, in order to prevent Feng Wuhen from sneaking in disguised as a servant, I didn't use any servants. I only kept two people who have been with me for many years as sedan chair drivers." One person said with a smile.
"What about the rest of the people?"
"They have all been screened, whether they are maids, attendants, cooks, matchmakers, in short, everyone here tonight, I have screened them all."
Another person laughed.
"No matter how powerful Feng Wuhen is, where can he hide? This place has long been impregnable."
"I think, if it doesn't work, I still have to get married." Bai Yan'er said in a low voice, and the two people next to her asked in shock, "Why?"
"...Even if I escape, they won't let me go, and then I will have to hide from place to place for the rest of my life. I don't like that kind of life, I want to stay in one place quietly." Bai Yan'er said with a smile.
"Can't you just stay in the inn?" Chu Changzui said immediately, "It's not like the shopkeeper won't take you in!"
"Will he really take me in?" Bai Yan'er shook her head, "Not necessarily. In fact, I knew from your hesitation just now that he probably doesn't want to see me."
"That's right, since you all can see that I have bad intentions, what about him? It's been so long, I'm afraid he doesn't know where to hide." As
soon as she finished speaking, the matchmaker interrupted her with a sharp voice, "The auspicious time has come!"
The sedan chair landed on the ground.
Someone lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the people inside gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"I think it's good that he did this, because if it were me, I probably wouldn't care that much about such a person..." Bai Yan'er stopped talking halfway.
She stared blankly at the person who came down from the sedan chair.
The first thing that appeared was a pair of snow-white embroidered shoes. When the shoes stepped on the ground, there was silence. After a long time, the person's hand appeared.
That hand was also snow-white.
Just like the snow-white in their memories.
