Jin Feng let the woman go first and then knocked on the door and entered the room, holding a candle in his hand. After lighting it, he set the candle down on the table and blew out the one the woman had been carrying.
"When one is away from home, it's best to be a little more cautious than usual," he explained.
"Quite so." Ji Yuxian opened the window and stood there looking out at the mountain village in the still of the night. The candlelight made his appealing silhouette stretch thin and long.
"Yes, Young Mistress, What was wrong with the meat today?
Hearing what was said, Ji Yuxian cocked his head slightly and looked at Su Jiu.
She was looking over the room and simply said, "That wasn't pork!"
"It wasn't?" Jin Feng raised an eyebrow and said doubtfully, "If it wasn't pork, then what was it?
Su Jiu glanced at him before quickly looking away. Shrugging her shoulders, she said, "I don't know! either"
