Chapter 16: The Sealed Door
Juehan was already pulling on his boots when Zhiyi came back inside.
He had heard every word Mu said, and his face had gone shut.
"I will go to the kennels and watch every sack myself," he said. "You will stay here."
"Juehan."
"Stay, Zhiyi. Please. Only until I have seen the feed shed."
He had never said please to her before the kitchen.

"Fine," she said. "One hour."
He kissed her forehead, took Mu by the elbow and left.
Xuezhao went with him.
She heard the iron door close, and then she heard something she had not heard before.
It was a low humming, and it ran across the frame of the door and the sill and the window shutters.
She put her ear against the wood.
Thin strips of iron wire hung in the doorway where there had been nothing, and each one glowed red.
