Dream Hua Embers Records

"This knife is very beautiful, can you show me?" Zhu'er blinked and stared at Yan Yin.

"Okay!" Yan Yin generously turned the blade and passed the handle over.

Pearl took it with both hands and began to play with it.

The knife is very small, the blade is only as long as a finger, crescent-shaped, the blade is on the inside, it looks extremely sharp, the handle is made of ebony, inlaid with several huge turquoise and red sapphires, those gemstones protrude, feel a little It is obvious that decoration is more important than practicality.

"What kind of knife is this? It looks so strange."

"This is the style of the Shiwei country. In Shiwei, both men and women carry such knives with them. They are useful for cutting meat when grilling, cutting wood chips when lighting a fire, and peeling skin when hunting."

"It's so beautiful..." Zhu'er admired Yan Yin fondly, and looked up at Yan Yin.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Yan Yin didn't care.

Zhu'er pursed her lips and smiled, she was not polite, and she put it into her bosom casually.

Over the past few days, the women in Zhu'er's car have gotten to know each other very well, and they have figured out that the four Yuan soldiers guarding them don't understand Chinese at all, so what they talk about in the car every day is how to escape.If Zhu'er was the only one, she would definitely not have the guts to run away, but among the ten people in this car, seven of them are female officials in the palace. Dealing with all kinds of things in the palace, the decisiveness of killing is no less than that of men. Now, unwilling to be captured and humiliated and become a subjugated slave, everyone is eager to escape.Zhu'er was infected by the emotions of these people, and unknowingly, she also strengthened the idea of ​​running away.

If they want to escape, they must first solve the ropes tied to everyone's wrists. The ropes are as thick as little fingers and made of fine hemp, which is very tough.The sharp blade in Pearl's bone ball is just a sharp thorn, the blade has no front, and it can't do anything about it, so Pearl came up with the idea of ​​this knife.

Just now Zhu'er just wanted to test it out, she didn't expect to be able to get it so easily, who knew that Yan Yin was innocent and didn't have the slightest intention to guard against others, on the contrary, a trace of guilt surged up in Zhu'er's heart.

Seeing Zhu'er drooping her head and not speaking, Yan Yin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Pearl forced a smile, and said, "I was only thinking that there is nothing to give you in return."

Yan Yin waved her hands again and again, "You don't need to give me anything in return, we've already taken too much from you! Besides, this is enough!" Yan Yin said, showing the snow-blue bead on her wrist.

"The beads in the hands of the princes, are you giving them?" Zhu'er asked.

"Yeah... I see that they have nothing to play with, it's quite boring, and... it's not fun for me to hold so many beads by myself. Even if there are more beads, I can only play with one at a time."

Zhu'er heard this, her heart moved, she felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in it, so she raised her eyes to look at Yan Yin.

"What? You don't like it? Are you unhappy that I gave away what you gave me without your consent?"

"No, I don't dislike it, I just think what you said is quite reasonable. There are tens of thousands of mansions, seven feet of sleep at night; thousands of hectares of fertile land, and only three meals a day... Even if you are rich in the world, you will be buried in a handful of soil in the end." How many pots of water can you drink in a day even if you dominate the Yellow River and Yangtze River?"

Yan Yin blinked her eyes and looked at Zhu'er with admiration, "You're really knowledgeable! You're one year younger than me, but... unexpectedly..." Yan Yin couldn't figure out what to say, so she froze there.

Zhu'er suddenly realized that this child had always regarded herself as a little sister, that's why she took such good care of her, and that's why she got what she wanted. He didn't know her real age, and she was twice as old as him.

Thinking of this, Zhu'er quickly explained, "I don't have any knowledge, I just heard what the adults said, and suddenly remembered it, and I felt it..."

"There are tens of thousands of mansions, sleeping seven feet at night; thousands of hectares of fertile land, only three meals a day..." Yan Yin murmured thoughtfully.

The setting sun elongated the shadows of the two and projected them onto the ground, looking like adults, but those two pair of thin shoulders made the shadows look so lonely and helpless.The dancing bonfire and rising smoke also cast flickering shadows on the ground, like an erratic fate, like a gap separating two people.

After a while, Zhu'er's clothes were dry, the two of them changed their clothes, Yan Yin held her skirt, it seemed that Zhu'er's body temperature was still on the clothes.Yan Yin was a little dazed for a moment, she stared blankly at Zhu'er, lost in thought.

Zhu Er was a little embarrassed, pointing to the bonfire and asked, "We are leaving, this fire should be extinguished, right?"

Yan Yin was startled, and then came back to her senses, "Yes..."

"How should we do it? Bring water and put it out?" Pearl had no experience of going out, so she didn't know how to deal with it.

Yan Yin frowned, he only had these three axes, and he didn't know how to extinguish such a bonfire cleanly, "Maybe... just let it burn like this, after the firewood is burned, it will naturally go out Is it? I’ll clean up the weeds around.”

"Isn't that bad? What if there is a wind blowing and it causes a fire?" Zhu'er was a little worried.

"Or should I pull out the firewood?" Yan Yin had actually seen the scene of the army pulling out the camp, the soldiers were very neat, they kicked the pile of firewood with their feet twice, and the fire went out after a while.But Yan Yin didn't have the guts to do this, and she didn't want to let Zhu'er know that she didn't have the guts.

"Or...find a bigger stone to crush it?" Pearl asked tentatively.

"This is a good way!" Yan Yin struck with both hands, then turned around to look for a suitable stone.

Standing in front of the fire, Pearl closed and unfastened the spring on the scabbard, playing with it over and over again, as if she couldn't let go of something in her heart.

"Ah...!" A soft exclamation came from behind Dashi, it was Yan Yin's voice.

Pearl was startled, and hurriedly ran over following the sound.

I saw Yan Yin standing next to a manger. Under her feet was a piece of purple slate that was one foot square. hand.

Yan Yin's eyes were fixed on the manger, as if there was some evil spirit inside.

Seeing this scene, Zhu'er was also a little apprehensive, and slowly approached Yan Yin's side step by step, and asked softly as she walked, "What's wrong?"

"Here... there's a dead person..." Yan Yin's voice trembled a little, showing that she was trying to maintain her composure.

Startled, Pearl took half a step back.It was getting late and the twilight was coming together, which made people a little scared, but at this moment when Yan Yin mentioned that there was a dead person, they didn't dare to go forward.

"Who is...?" Zhuer asked tremblingly.

Yan Yin turned her head and replied, "It's wearing a boa robe, it seems, it's someone from your clan..."

"Python robe? That's a man with a royal body..." Suddenly, Zhu'er felt her hands and feet were cold, her legs were stiff, and she moved over step by step.

It was already very dark, Yan Yin was afraid that Zhu'er would not be able to see clearly, so she lit a fire.

But he didn't know that Zhu'er's eyesight was superior to that of ordinary people, and she could already see the face of the corpse in the manger after a few steps.
