In the deep mountains.

After Zhao Ce came back, he took Su Caier and others to put the paper paste of the lanterns in the corner and dried them for later use.

Wu Xueli asked curiously: "Zhao Ce, why does your lantern look very strange?"

"Is it too big? And I don't have a handle to lift. Is it a mistake?"

Su Caier whispered: "That's right..."

Wu Xueli looked at her curiously and waited for her to say what she had next.

Others also paused their lives and wanted to know what happened to this lantern.

Su Caier glanced at her husband and explained, "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, my husband let me go."

"This lantern can fly to the sky."

Can you fly to the sky?

Wu Xueli slapped his thigh.

"Yes, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the huge flying lantern was written with the words "Caitang Ji".

"Isn't that the lantern in your house? It turns out that this was made by you two by yourself."

Su Caier still felt a little happy when she remembered that day.

A small smile appeared on her face, and she unconsciously showed off her tone.

"Well, my husband made it for me..."

Looking at the little smile that the little girl finally showed over the past few days, Zhao Ce couldn't help but pinch her little face.

"Put these lanterns first, don't let them see them."

Wu Xueli nodded and brought the lanterns to the room with his family.

After the move, one of the servants pulled Wu Xueli and the other closed the door.

Wu Xueli said strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I have to go out and ask Zhao Ce how to put these flying lanterns."

He pulled Wu Xueli's servant and whispered: "Young Master, let's run tonight first."

"We have four people in our group. If we find the right direction, we will definitely be able to go down the mountain!"

Wu Xueli frowned and said, "Let's run by ourselves?"

"What should anyone else do?"

Another servant also walked over and said, "They want to keep Mr. Zhao. We ran away with one or two, so they won't spend too much effort on it."

"Because we run away now, there is still a chance to survive."

"Otherwise, when Mr. Zhao helps the thieves prepare the installations, we will definitely not be able to survive!"

Wu Xueli was stunned for a moment.

Can't live anymore...

Another person advised: "Yes, these private salt dealers do all kinds of evil."

"They are not good people. The two boatmen were driven to the alley to carry salt blocks as soon as they arrived on the mountain."

"If we continue to stay, we will either die or do black work."

"You still have to run!"

Wu Xueli shook his head and said, "I'm leaving like this, Zhao Ce has to worry."

"And here is a deep mountain, we have no direction and don't know the way down the mountain."

"What if you meet a jackal, tiger and leopard?"

"When I went to bed last night, I vaguely heard the wolf's screams."

These two servants were a little anxious.

They are servants of the Wu family. If they ignore their master and run away by themselves, they will definitely not be able to go back to the Wu family.

From now on, I can only be a runaway slave and I will never be able to hide my vigor for the rest of my life.

Run, it’s still unknown whether you will encounter jackals, tigers and leopards.

But if you don’t run away, you’ll be dead.

"Young Master, we have seen it. There is no one here to guard them at night, so they can run..."

Wu Xueli waved his hand and said, "No."

"I believe Zhao Ce, he won't let something happen to us."

"If I run away like this, wouldn't I be causing trouble for everyone?"

"Don't talk about this kind of thing again."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

These two servants sighed and followed them out.

After Wu Xueli walked out, he sorted out his expression and returned to the dining hall.

Qiu Shubai and others were still tying lanterns.

Zhao Ce said: "You need to lay more spare parts."

Seeing Wu Xueli come back, Zhao Ce glanced at him and smiled at him.

Wu Xueli picked up two more made lanterns and hid them in the room.

At dusk, someone sent hot water and meals.

After the delivery, the man was about to leave, Zhao Ce suddenly stood up and said, "Brother, I seem to have missed something there today. I wonder if I can take me to see it?"

This person has also seen Zhao Ce's supernatural powers today and has a good impression of this polite scholar.

He said, "Is something missing?"

"It's going to be dark this day, and it's hard to walk at night. Why not look for it tomorrow?"

Zhao Ce shook his head.

"That thing is very important to me, and I still have to find it to be at ease."

"Otherwise, if you are taken away by some small animal at night, you will never be able to find it again."

The man thought for a while and said, "Okay, you have dinner first. I will go back and have someone get two more lanterns and go with you."

Zhao Ce said yes, and the man went out to find someone.

After Zhao Ce sat down, he said to the person who was looking at him at the table: "Let's have a meal."

Su Caier asked him: "Husband, what did you lose?"

Zhao Ce smiled and whispered: "It's nothing, I'll go find it."

After a while, the man came with several people.

Everyone was holding lanterns in their hands, and the ground was illuminated very brightly.

Most people still hold weapons in their hands.

Zhao Ce followed them out and glanced casually along the way.

Most of the wooden houses are black.

There are only a few buildings, and there is a light emitted.

Zhao Ce asked: "It's just night, everyone is going to bed?"

This man was also a talkative person and smiled directly: "It's almost done."

"It's not good luck on the mountain. Go to bed early and save some lamp oil."

Zhao Ce looked around again.

His eyesight still played a huge role at night.

At first glance, I could see the surrounding situation clearly.

Zhao Ce said casually: "You are digging for private salt here, and there is not even a person who watches the wind."

"Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the government?"

A man next to him with a lantern seemed to hear some joke.

"It depends on where the government is."

Zhao Ce looked at him in confusion.

Where is the government?

After hearing this sentence, another possibility that Zhao Ce had thought of before was basically confirmed.
