Chapter 69: Girl, Offended
The sky was getting dark, the moon and stars were scarce, and a black shadow came out of the Yuxian Building and went straight to the alum tower where the warbler was singing and dancing on the opposite side.
Maybe he worked as an errand in the yamen for a period of time and was ostracized, Wu Song never had illusions about those officials, and he never thought of reporting to the officials from beginning to end.
At night, the lights on both sides of the Bianhe River are bright, people come and go, Wu Song in the crowd looked at a prosperous alum building, and suddenly had a sense of embarrassment, he didn't know why he became like this, did he really kill the fairy-like girl in his heart?
Wu Song shook his head, as if he had shaken off the last trace of hesitation.
Then, avoiding the crowd, he plunged headlong into a dark alley, slowly went around to the back door of the alum tower, covered his face, and jumped without alarming anyone.
I have to say that the alum building is worthy of being a first-class luxurious place in Kyoto, the scale of the twists and turns is still quite large, although I have been here once, but Wu Song went around the old and went around, and it took a long time to get to the right place.
However, it is difficult for Wu Song to find out where Master Li lives. Just when Wu Song was in a dilemma, Wu Song found a familiar figure, Li Shuang'er, who was quite unkind to see them at the beginning.
Li Shuang'er has also had a very unpleasant life these days, and since she came back from Master Li, she has become more and more unpopular. Originally, she thought that after becoming Li Yun's personal maid, she would be able to slowly approach or even step into the power center of this alum tower, but now she has become a marginal figure, and she feels that only by letting Master Li disappear can she have a bright future.
Li Shuang'er, who was full of sadness, had just gone out and was about to go to the garden to relieve her boredom, but she felt a cold back, so she was dragged back to the room with her mouth covered.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm......" Li Shuang'er struggled and shouted, but after all, she was a weak woman, and no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless.
"Girl, offended"
"Oh, as long as you promise not to shout, I'll let you go"
"Will you say yes?"
"Hmmmm"
"Well, if you say yes, you will nod"
Li Shuang'er hurriedly nodded vigorously.
"You ......" Li Shuang'er was about to shout, and then her mouth was covered again.
"Why doesn't your words count, girl?"
Li Shuang'er nodded again, Wu Song was helpless, but he still took his hand away, but put the prepared knife on Li Shuang'er's neck.
"Tell me, where is Master Li's room?"
"Master, who are you and what do you want to do?......" Li Shuang'er still wanted to ask, but Wu loosened the knife around her neck.
"You, don't be impulsive, I'll tell you, the second room upstairs"
"That's offended the girl"
Wu Song knocked Li Shuang'er unconscious, and then gently closed the door. Slipped upstairs.
Master Li had just been severely reprimanded by Li Yun, and it was about to be the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Master Li didn't want to play the piano and dance anymore.
Some of the songs that used to be able to play with their eyes closed are now full of ups and downs, and their thoughts are not on the piano at all.
Sitting in front of the piano, the heart is not in the piano. Master Li was in a daze, as if he had remembered something, and his smile gradually revealed.
So much so that Wu Song sneaked in, and Master Li didn't find out.
Wu Song looked at the slim back in front of him, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but loosen. He couldn't do it, he couldn't bear it, and he couldn't bear it.
Wu Song suddenly wanted to listen to Master Li play a song.
"Girl, can you play a song?"
Master Li turned his head suddenly, and only saw a man with his face covered, but there was a sense of familiarity.
"You, who are you, what do you want to do?"
"Don't be afraid, girl, there is no malice in the bottom"
"I just want to hear the girl play a song."
It seems that it was because of that sense of familiarity, or maybe Master Li felt that this person was not malicious, and Master Li gradually relaxed a little.
"So, you...... What would you like to hear?"
"Just listen to the girl play the best."
The sound of the piano gradually rose, and Master Li slowly entered the state, and after half a cup of tea, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Although Master Li was undecided, a little nervous, and played a few mistakes, how could Wu Song, who had no chance to hear these tunes at all, hear them.
"The girl played so well"
"Dare to ask the girl what the name of this song is"
"Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji"
Master Li just replied lightly.
"I, have we met?" Master Li still felt familiar, and asked tentatively.
"No, I haven't seen it" This question made Wu Song panic.
"Oh, maybe"
"That gentleman has already listened to the song, shouldn't he leave too?"
Wu Song got up and did not turn around.
"It seems that Mr. is not here to listen to the music, and there is something else."
"Girl, offended"
The hand is up, and the knife is not falling. Wu Song didn't have a hand in the end, he just knocked Master Li unconscious, then ripped off a piece of curtain, hurriedly wrapped Master Li around, carried it on his shoulders, and slipped out gently.
Although the backyard of Alum Tower is usually quiet, Wu Song still avoided several waves of patrols when he sneaked in. It can be said that when Wu Song escaped with a big living person, he thought it would be difficult, Wu Song was cautiously ready to kill it, but it was unimpeded until he slipped out of the backyard, and his figure was shrouded in darkness in the alley.
"Come on, catch the thief," a shout broke the silence in the backyard of the alum tower.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Li Shuang'er came out of the house, disheveled, with a disheveled head, as if she had just woken up.
"Shuang'er girl, it seems that she has entered the thief," a maid replied in a panic.
"Oh, what's the ...... you lost?"
"Okay, it doesn't seem to be"
After the maid left, Li Shuang'er sneered, not knowing whether it was self-deprecation or sarcasm.
"You really don't dare to let people know that Master Li is lost"
Li Yun, who rushed to the scene after hearing the sound, didn't pay attention to the panicked maids and servants in the backyard, and went straight to Master Li's room on the top floor. When he saw that Master Li's room was empty, Li Yunru was struck by lightning, but the next moment he was furious.
Soon, all the big and small stewards of the alum building gathered in Li Yun's room, and the atmosphere in the room was depressing, and everyone looked like they were submissive and didn't dare to speak.
"Did you find it?" Li Yun's face was pale, the kind that couldn't be covered by powder.
"Back to Mom, yet, haven't ...... yet"
"Then what are you going to eat, why don't you go find it quickly" Li Yun shouted almost at the top of his voice.
"Mom, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas" Li Shuang'er was also full of solemnity, and handed over a bowl of freshly brewed tea.
"Mom, maybe my sister is just playful, sneaking out like last time, maybe I'll be back tomorrow"
"Hmph, playful, playful, I raised him so big, she knows how to play, if you delay the night of the Oiran, see if I don't pick her skin......" Li Yun was angry, and the weight on his face seemed to be a lot because of anger.
"Then, Mom, if she doesn't come back tomorrow, what will happen to the night of the Oiran?" Li Shuang'er asked tentatively, how much she wanted to hear a sentence "If it doesn't work, you can go up."
"No, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find her before the night of the Oiran tomorrow" Li Yun clenched his fists, his nails piercing into his skin.
