Chapter 3: The Exile

During the Lantern Festival, a dazzling array of lanterns are hung everywhere on the streets, and young men and women can be seen everywhere on the road. People stay together, and they all have smiles in their eyes. Legend has it that people who love each other will be happily together forever if they put lanterns by the river.

Banxia couldn't help but look at the people around her, Ye Anshi looked ahead, his eyes were full of indifference. It doesn't matter, one day, Ye Anshi will accept her.

There was a large crowd of people gathered in front of me, and I didn't know what they were doing. "Brother Ye, let's go there and have a look." Banxia pointed to the place where the crowd gathered.

Banxia trotted up, "borrowed, borrowed......" and finally squeezed to the front. In the middle stood a shopkeeper holding a lantern, white, with two cute rabbits on it. In front of the store was a man, dressed in white, with a tall back, and his face could not be seen.

Looking at the people around him, Banxia hurriedly asked the person standing next to him, and the person said: "Whoever makes the poem that satisfies the store the most, the lantern will belong to whom." Now, the man in white's poems are the best. "It turned out that the one who wrote the poem and won the lantern.

The shopkeeper said, "You still have verses for the poem titled 'Encounter', and if you don't, the lamp will belong to this son." ”

"Wait a minute." Banxia walked to the middle.

"This girl, do you want to try?"

"That's right." Banxia nodded, glanced at Brother Ye, and he gave Banxia a reassuring look.

Banxia looked at the lantern and said slowly: "Everyone is looking for him thousands of times." Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. The flame in the lantern was imprinted in Banxia's eyes, but Banxia didn't know that the flame was also shaking the hearts of the people around her.

Ye Anshi, who was behind Banxia at this time, heard this poem, and his heart trembled, and then he clenched his fists, forcing himself to look away from Banxia.

When the man in white heard Banxia's poem, he turned his head, and at that time he felt that the thousands of lights seemed to gather on the woman alone, so that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

In a round of applause and cheers, Banxia successfully won the lanterns. When Banxia was holding the lantern and happily showing off to Ye Anshi, the man in white walked towards Banxia, and it was perfect for him to be warm and jade.

"Girl, in the twilight. When I heard the girl's poem just now, I thought it was wonderful. Don't know the girl's name? ”

Childe Miao praised. The little woman just happened to know this. Banxia smiled shallowly, "The little woman's name is Banxia." ”

"General Twilight, it's polite to be here." Ye Anshi pulled Banxia behind him and said to Twilight.

"It turned out to be Lord Ye, it's polite." Twilight saw the person behind Banxia at this time, and was surprised, but her eyes stayed on Banxia.

"I don't know who this girl is from Lord Ye?"

"Sister." Ye Anshi continued: "General Dusk, we still have something to do, so let's go first." ”

A person hurriedly came to Twilight's side and whispered a few words in his ear, his expression changed, his brows were furrowed, and he said goodbye to Banxia, "Miss Mao, Lord Ye." There's still important business to take care of in the future, so let's go first and see you next time. Then he left without stopping.

His appearance as a handsome boy is difficult to correspond to the general who gallops across the field. Banxia thought like this, and didn't notice that Ye Anshi had already walked away when she saw that she had been staring at General Dusk.

Banxia realizes that when she pulls her legs and prepares to catch up, a person covers her mouth from behind. "Brother Ye." The voice that came out of his throat fainted before anyone could hear it.

There was laughter and laughter all around, and Ye Anshi saw that Banxia hadn't caught up yet, so he stopped and turned his head, how could there be a shadow of Banxia.

He ran to where Banxia had been standing and shouted, "Banxia! But there was no response. He remembered the previous case of the woman's disappearance, "Oh no! He hurried home.

"Wen Yuan! Call him to me. Seeing that the young master was so anxious, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, leaned on his back, and clasped his hands together, "Yes, young master." ”

With his front foot stepping into the study, he took out a map of the imperial city, drew the locations of the missing women one by one, and found that they all revolved around a center: the woods outside the city.

"Young master, you look for me."

"Let's go, go to the Dusk Mansion." Wen Yuan entered the study, but before he could react, he touched the back of his head, and then followed the young master to the Dusk Mansion.

"Woooooo Who's crying? Banxia faintly heard crying in her daze and opened her eyes. "Oh my God, where is this?" A house made of bamboo on all sides, with candles on the surrounding walls and a half-human body with straw underneath. Next to them sat some young girls in their prime, hugging their bodies in fear.

A weak voice sounded from a woman beside her, wearing a hairpin in the shape of a feather on her head, "You're new here." We've been locked up here for days. There was a store of dry food, but none of us had seen the man who had kidnapped us, and we didn't know what he was going to do. As he spoke, he began to cry.

"Is there a place to go out here?" Banxia looked around, only there was a locked door directly in front of him, and there was no other exit.

"No, I haven't found out in this long time."

"Don't be afraid." Banxia patted the woman's shoulder, looking at her with firm conviction in his eyes, "My name is Banxia, and my brother Ye will definitely come to save us." ”

"I, my name is Mo'er." The woman curled her legs up to her chest.

At this time, Ye Anshi had just arrived at the Dusk Mansion, and he didn't expect General Dusk to just return home. He stepped forward to stop General Twilight, his words full of urgency, "General Twilight, forgive me for coming uninvited, Banxia disappeared from the Lantern Festival just now." ”

"What? The thief is too presumptuous. Just now, my subordinates informed me that there was a disappearance, and I rushed over, it was a scam. It seems to be a sound of sound from east to west. General Twilight angrily punched the stone lion next to him.

"General Twilight, there's already a clue down there, the woods outside the city."

"Okay, let's go together." He rolled over and got on his horse, "Ride!" "Whip it up. Ye Anshi rode a horse to follow, holding the reins of the horse tightly, and thought: Banxia, you must not have anything to do.

"Do you want water?" Mo'er asked Banxia. Banxia shook his head, "No need, I'm not thirsty." ”

"Okay." Mo'er stood up and rolled a painting out of her sleeve, and the painting rolled to Banxia's feet, and the scroll spread out, revealing the person in the painting.

The familiar face evokes Banxia's memory, why is it so much like a little shark! "What is this painting?"

"Do you know him?" Mo'er's tone became agitated.

Banxia shook his head, he couldn't casually reveal the existence of the little shark.

Mo'er put the painting away with concern and stroked the painting gently, "This is the relic of my parents, they entrusted me to find the person in the painting, I heard that the person in the painting is the orphan of my father's friend, but unfortunately I have no clue." ”

"But he's a 'merman'." Banxia said suspiciously.

She paused, the look in her eyes remained the same, leaned beside Banxia, and said mysteriously: "Actually, my father is not human, I have half of the blood of the non-human race. You're going to help me keep this secret. Banxia nodded.

Dust floated at the door, and with a loud bang, the door was smashed open, "Banxia, are you okay?" It was Brother Ye's voice, Banxia stood up and waved his hand to Ye Anshi at the door.

"Girls, it's okay, come with us." General Twilight organizes the others to escape.

"Young master, there are no suspicious people around." Wen Yuan came in to report.

"How so? We haven't found it yet. They wondered.

"I know, who the culprit is." Banxia looked at them calmly, and she pointed to the people around her, her fingers resting on Mo'er, who was less than a foot away from her.

Everyone's eyes looked at this delicate woman, and they couldn't believe it, and Mo'er also looked innocent.
