Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Hidden Place (4)
The people Liu Yun knew were only a small fraction of all of them.
Most of them are still people Liu Yun doesn't know. These people no longer have that fierce spirit, but their bold nature seems to have grown, and they have lost their scheming.
Everyone can earn money from their own labor to support themselves, and of course with money brought from outside.
Things here are very expensive, and what can be bought for a penny of silver outside will cost at least a hundred times more here. The pay for labor here is also frighteningly high, hundreds of times higher than outside.
Wen Cai said that this is a good way that the valley owner came up with, and this is to make everyone learn to support themselves, but in fact, the valley owner uses a lot of his own money. As for where the valley owner got so much money, no one knows.
The only people who can make a good life without doing anything are those who are responsible for guarding the mouth of the valley all year round, these people are personally selected by the valley master, their martial arts are very high, and the valley owner trusts them very much.
There are also restaurants here, and the dishes inside are all fine dishes that are rarely eaten outside, and the wines here are at least decades old, and ordinary wines are not even seen here.
There is actually a brothel here, which is beyond Liu Yun's expectations.
Liu Yun has already been to the restaurant, the food inside is really delicious, the wine inside is really fragrant, Zhong Qi can't wait to drink the wine in the restaurant every day, but there is no silver, and he didn't go again after drinking two meals.
Today, Zhong Qi came as soon as it was dark, and he pulled Liu Yun and walked out, Liu Yun asked him why he didn't say anything, just pulled Liu Yun forward.
Coming to a small building with bright lights, Zhong Qi finally stopped.
Liu Yun looked up and saw that there was a big plaque "Qunfang Building" hanging on the gate of the small building, and Zhong Qi took Liu Yun to the door of the brothel in the Qiyin Valley. He looked at Zhong Qi and said, "Drunkard, what are you doing here?"
Zhong Qi glanced at Liu Yun and said, "What do you say?"
Liu Yundao: "Miss a woman?"
Zhong Qi said: "You just miss a woman!"
Liu Yundao: "What don't you want women to do here?"
Zhong Qi said: "Do you have to think about women to come here?"
Liu Yun shook his head and said, "No, you can come here if you want to drink." ”
Zhong Qi said: "They all say that you are very smart, since they all call me a drunkard, they don't know that I am here to drink." Where do you think the best wine in the world is?"
Liu Yun said: "The palace." ”
Zhong Qi said: "Except for the palace, the best wine there?"
Liu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Big restaurants and brothels." ”
Zhong Qi said: "What do you say?"
Liu Yun said: "Big restaurants generally put their own wine in the cellar, these wines are never sold out, and they are exclusively owned, only big restaurants will have a wine cellar that can accommodate so many wine tanks, and the people who can drink here are also rich people." The second is the Qinglou, which will always be a gold cave, and no matter how much money you have here, you can spend it here. No matter how big and luxurious the restaurant is, there is a price for a table of wine and food. A table of wine in the Qinglou also has a price, but it is the lowest price, and there is no highest price. The people who come to the Qinglou are all people who are willing to spend money, because no matter the women in the Qinglou, almost all of them are guests who like to be willing to spend money and are generous. Therefore, the most delicious meals and the most mellow wines are always prepared for these generous guests. ”
Zhong Qi said: "The guy in the restaurant also said that the best wine in the valley is in this 'Qunfang Building'. ”
Liu Yun said: "You dragged me here in such a hurry just to come here to drink?"
Zhong Qi said: "I'm here to drink, whatever you want to do, I will never stop you, but you still have to pay for the silver." His own silver had already been spent, so he brought Liu Yun along.
As soon as Liu Yun and Zhong Qi entered the door, someone immediately came up to welcome them in, and the enthusiasm was much more intimate than that of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Whoever entered this door would have been so enthusiastic about him.
The building is full of warblers singing and dancing, laughter, and the sound of staggered cups.
Those who come here forget all their sorrows, at least temporarily.
Accompanying Liu Yun and them to drink were Chunhong and Qiuyue, these are two twenty-nine year-old girls, the most beautiful in Qunfanglou, and the woman who smiles sweetest.
The frequent persuasion of the spring and autumn moon made Zhong Qi, who was originally a drunkard, drink three points faster, and soon he was already drunk and yelled for a singer.
Soon a beautiful girl came, holding a lute in her arms, but her singing voice was so far from her appearance that even Zhong Qi, who had never been too picky, frowned when he heard it. finally listened to her singing, and Zhong Qi hurriedly sent her away.
Zhong Qi borrowed a little bit of wine, and said: "Wine is good wine, and people are also good people, but this singing voice is a little worse, do you have any better singing here?" Although Zhong Qi is a rough person, but this kind of thing will never be said when he is not drinking, and it is already very good not to interrupt her singing halfway, after all, people still want to save face, at least Zhong Qi feels that he is already very face-saving.
Chunhong snuggled in Zhong Qi's arms and said, "Yes, of course!"
Zhong Qi said, "Why didn't you call her?"
Chunhong said: "She just sings and never drinks with others." ”
Zhong Qi said: "It's enough to have you drink with me, why do you want so many people to drink with me?"
Chunhong said: "It's very expensive to listen to her sing. ”
Zhong Qi said: "As long as you sing well, someone will give you as much silver." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yun with a wicked smile.
Chunhong and Qiuyue smiled and smiled happily, such a guest was their favorite guest.
A veiled woman walked in with her head down, bowed politely, and said, "Little girl Yonghe, I don't know what song you uncles want to listen to?"
Liu Yun has never left Yonghe since she entered the door, this is a woman with a good figure, wearing a snow-white skirt on her, making people feel as if she came out of a painting. Although he couldn't see her face, Liu Yun vaguely felt that he knew this woman, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. When Yonghe raised his head, Liu Yun seemed to feel that he didn't know her again, but when Yonghe saw Liu Yun, his eyes paused slightly, and he showed a hint of surprise, but he was quickly hidden by her, if Liu Yun hadn't been staring at her, he would never have found the color in her eyes.
Liu Yun said absentmindedly: "Just sing it." ”
The singing of Yonghe is indeed very good, melodious and melodious, like a pearl falling on a silver plate, which makes people unforgettable for a long time.
Liu Yun didn't hear it, because his mind was all on Yonghe.
Why was Yonghe surprised when she saw their eyes, indicating that she should know herself, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
A woman dressed as a maid hurriedly ran in and said something in Yonghe's ear, she suddenly stood up after hearing this, and seemed very anxious, the song was not finished, and she didn't say a word of farewell and left.
Liu Yun was puzzled: "What happened to Yonghe?"
Chunhong said: "It's not a big deal. ”
Liu Yundao: "Why is she in such a hurry?"
Chunhong said: "This is not the first time, every time her son cries, even if there is a big thing, she has to put it aside." ”
Liu Yundao: "She also has a son, and this is the first time I've heard that someone has brought her son to sing." ”
Chunhong said: "Not only that, she is also the only one in the valley who has a bodyguard." ”
Liu Yundao: "Bodyguard?"
Chunhong said: "This Yonghe is really a weirdo, when she came to Qiyin Valley, she not only held a full-term baby, but also followed a bodyguard, following her inch by inch, and then following her child inch by inch. She didn't know martial arts herself, but the bodyguard listened to him very much and was simply obedient to her. ”
Liu Yundao: "When did Miss Yonghe come to Qiyin Valley?"
Chunhong said: "I came here half a year." ”
Liu Yun said: "Didn't you say that no one in the valley dared to use force? What does she want her bodyguards to do?"
Chunhong said: "No one knows why she lets people take care of her child at all times, and no one knows why she values her son's life very much, and doesn't seem to want to put him in a little danger." ”
Liu Yun said: "There are really a lot of strange things in Qiyin Valley. ”
Chunhong said: "These things seem strange to you, but we don't think it's anything, everyone should have his own privacy, but we like it here." ”
Liu Yundao: "Why?"
Chunhong said: "Everyone here can live the life they like, and they don't have to live the kind of fearful life they used to have." It may not be a big deal to you, but it's the happiest life for us!"
Liu Yundao: "Why do you still want to do things here in the valley?"
Chunhong said: "We were abandoned by our parents since we were children, and we grew up in brothels, and we didn't do anything but serve you men and make you happy. ”
Liu Yun opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.
In fact, Liu Yun wanted to say to her, can't you go to learn, can't you blame all the faults on others, but you yourself have forgotten that everyone is born with nothing, they all learn slowly, and your ability to please men is also learned later? You are used to this kind of flowery and drunken life, and you don't want to suffer those hardships anymore.
Liu Yun couldn't say these words, because they were already very pitiful, and saying these words to her in front of her was no different from pulling out her clothes in public, so that they could still live, he couldn't be so cruel, and he wasn't such a cruel person.
Coming out of Qunfang Tower, Liu Yun decided to go see Yonghe and her children.
A quiet small building was Yonghe's residence, and before Liu Yun could get close, a person appeared in front of him like a ghost and stopped him.
Liu Yun looked at the person in front of him, this was a very handsome young man in his twenties, this should have been a vigorous age, but what Liu Yun saw in him was only the twilight of a dying person. What makes a young man who is supposed to be hopeful about life have lost hope in life?
Liu Yun asked, "You are Miss Yonghe's bodyguard, right?"
"Yes, I'm her bodyguard, I don't have a name, you can just call me nameless. ”
