Chapter 8 A Night of Fish and Dragons Dance

"Would you like to?"

Su Sheng'er's ethereal voice sounded in this night, in the noisy crowd, with a trace of longing and hope that is difficult to find. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Chen Guyu was silent, as if he was thinking.

Su Sheng'er smiled and didn't force it: "If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, after all, it's still difficult in the school, and we can buy a big house if we earn a few more years, but we can't enter the inner city." ”

Chen Guyu said: "Are we not good now......

Su Sheng'er was slightly stunned, understood what he meant, the girl held her cheeks, and seemed to hesitate how to say: "Good is good, it's good, it's just that we are still ordinary people, if we can enter the inner city, we don't have to be bullied." ”

Chen Guyu listened to the girl's slightly murmuring words, and suddenly understood her kind of expectation, maybe it was the experience of the horse stepping on the crowd tonight, or maybe it was the encounter from childhood to adulthood, which made this lonely girl always have a sense of crisis, what she envied was not the arrogant and lascivious life in the inner city, but just a plain and reassuring that was not easy to be disturbed by others.

So she worked hard to make money, hoping to enter the inner city one day, and after Chen Guyu appeared, she also began to plan to send Chen Guyu to the school, even if it was to spend all her savings and the relationship over the years.

So Chen Guyu said: "Then go and try it......"

"Huh?"

Chen Guyu looked at her seriously: "Although I don't like the group of people just now, and I'm not sure if I have any cultivation talent, but let's try it, just like Sheng'er said, we won't have to be bullied by others at that time." ”

In fact, I haven't encountered anything bad in the past few days, but that may just be because Chen Guyu has been staying in the Wind Chime Restaurant and can't see the outside world. Unlike Su Sheng'er, she has to go all over Ninghai City every day, maybe she was treated unfairly in Luofu, maybe she was wronged when she sold cloth, the girl never showed it on her face, but her heart was scarred after all.

This is the most ordinary poor people, the most powerless group of people, Su Sheng'er may have suffered too much, so she thought about being able to enter the inner city, she said cautiously just now, but she was worried that her statement would make Chen Guyu feel that she was a greedy and vain person, but fortunately Chen Guyu still understood, or said that she had a good understanding with her, and knew what to think behind that expectation.

Hearing Chen Guyu's optimistic and serious answer, Su Sheng'er laughed, and the heart that she had been bearing was also relaxed, she was just the most ordinary girl from a poor family, she had always been a lonely person, humming a song and laughing silently when she was happy, and crying silently with a pillow when she was sad, her laughter and crying were always silent, no one cared about and did not communicate with others, among the hundreds of thousands of people in Ninghai City, who would care about a poor girl in the corner of the outer city?

On that day, a comatose young man floated on the edge of the Huai River, and the kind girl rescued him, and since then, as if it was a fate given by God, the young man stayed in a very inexplicable name, became her relatives, and entered her world, which had been two rooms that had been gray and dark, were full of joy in the world for the first time.

Su Sheng'er felt very happy, thanked God, and remembered her as an ordinary little girl.

"Bang!"

Fireworks once again bloomed in the night sky, in this era, the research on gunpowder has begun to bear fruit, but because of the existence of Taoism in the war, people are more trusting in this power from their own heaven and earth, and do not want to fake foreign objects, so gunpowder has not been widely used in war, these muskets and artillery are also available, but only in the hands of some ordinary soldiers, used to attract firepower and small area of disturbance, in general, it is to be a death squad, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance, and the direction of the war, after all, is in the hands of those who hold the power of heaven and earth。

However, the emergence of gunpowder still brings a lot of convenience to people's daily life, such as the fireworks in this grand festival can not be replaced by Taoism, dazzling colors and colors Taoism may be able to imitate, but the pungent fireworks can never be touched, that is the people care most about the reality of life, not a big man to illusion out of nothingness.

"Bang!"

It was another firework, and then countless lights bloomed in the air, colorful and dazzling, the night sky filled with gunsmoke, and the stars looked a little dim, but the bright moon became more and more cold under the praise of the talents below, revealing the charm of the beauties on the stage.

“…… Next, it is the climax of this Oiran competition, the eight girls who have won thousands of bouquets and poetry praise from everyone will show their best talents, and finally select the four major Oiran of my Ninghai City, cheer, boil......"

Unconsciously, the Oiran Contest is also coming to an end, after the eight girls perform separately, it is the voting and gift-giving session, and the four people who get the most votes or gifts will become the four major Oiran of Ninghai City, which are sought after by countless talents and wealthy businessmen.

The first thing that came out was the famous Ruyufang girl painting screen, she changed into a white dress, revealing a cute navel, and below was a slender and soft calf, in the ensuing guqin sound, a beautiful dance gradually unfolded in the eyes of everyone.

Chen Guyu and Su Sheng'er also calmed down in the crowd to watch the performance on stage, and had to admit that all the people who could come this far were artists, although the outfit chosen by the painting screen girl was a little exposed in the eyes of many people, and she may be attacked by some defenders in public, but her part of the man dance still aroused the applause of many talented people.

After the dance, the girl bowed slightly with a smile on her face, ready to retreat, for her, this carefully prepared dance had obviously achieved the desired results, without any background, she actually did not have too many ideas about whether she could finally get the name of Oiran.

Suddenly, in the midst of many noisy but harmonious cheers of praise, a piercing sneer suddenly sounded.

The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked angrily at the place where laughter was heard, only to find that it was the school painting boat that everyone had been ignoring with tacit understanding.

A girl dressed in a bright red dress was leaning against the side stage, with a good appearance, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of ridicule, and when she saw that everyone was looking over, she became more and more disdainful: "What do you see, this kind of woman can also afford such praise? Dressed like this, coquettish to the bone, watery poplar, it really dirty eyes! I think you want women to go crazy!"

Although it is said...... As a woman who makes a living by selling laughter in the Qinglou, it is normal to be scolded like this, but the picture screen is face turned pale, and the whole person shook, she is only sixteen years old this year, because she has to enter the Ruyi Fang because of the middle of the family, but the body is very innocent, and this time I came to the Oiran Contest to raise my value, and I have more status to keep my innocence.

Unexpectedly, the first performance was so satirized by a big man...... The painting screen has a very aggrieved feeling, her clothes are all chosen by Ruyifang's mother, and it has nothing to do with her, but at this moment, after the girl spoke, the people in Ruyifang didn't say a word, as if they abandoned her.

And the talents who had been praising her before were also dumbfounded all of a sudden, and they were speechless one by one. The girl looked bored, and said disdainfully again, but to a teenager next to her: "Lei Dong, this is the show you want to take me to watch?"

The young man sneered: "That, senior sister, hehe, I'm not bored to see you......"

He wanted to pursue this girl, so he wanted to spend a lot of money on this Oiran Contest to let the girl see his demeanor outside of cultivation, after all, he was the young master of the Lei family, what woman couldn't get, if it weren't for the fact that this girl's cultivation talent was too high, he would have overpowered the bow a long time ago.

It's a pity that this plan seems to have failed, and I don't know which sensitive nerve the girl from the Qinglou touched the senior sister, which resulted in such a result.

The girl didn't listen to his explanation, and snorted coldly again, but jumped directly off the painting boat, and left the Huai River in a leap, leaving only everyone on the painting boat to look at each other.

The young man named Lei Dong was obviously a little embarrassed, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the girl who was still wronged on the stage, and immediately shouted: "Come on, come on, drag this woman down, why are you still staying here, don't you see if anyone can enter this Oiran Competition?"

In fact, the young man also knows that the girl who is called the painting screen dances very well, and it is very likely to get the name of the Oiran, but it's a pity that she has become the object of her sister's madness, and she has failed in her pursuit this time, and she can only sacrifice her to protect her face, Lei Dong thinks like this, but there is no trace of guilt in his heart, for a big man like him, what is it to sacrifice a Qingqi person!

A terrible cry sounded, and under the eyes of countless people, the painting screen was violently dragged off the stage by several strong men, adding an indelible shadow to this festive night.

And the audience was also quiet, no one dared to speak, the talented people were dumbfounded, and the rich businessmen also found that it seemed that no amount of money was useless in this situation, but there was no pressure on the sea steward, but he signaled several times, and the girl who was in turn behind stood stunned and refused to get off.

Lei Dong had already sat down again, but after waiting for a long time, the next performance didn't start, so he immediately frowned: "What's the matter?"

No one spoke.

Lei Dong stood up, condescending from the painting boat, and also understood the impact of what he had done before, and was slightly unhappy in his heart, but for him, just an Oiran competition, if he messed up, he would smash it, and there was nothing, as for the government to have fun with the people, heh, what kind of joke is that, he is a dignified young master of the Thunder Clan, an elite of the academy, does he need to care about the opinions of a group of untouchables?

He scanned the crowd with a grim face, and finally gradually froze in a corner, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a satisfied smile appeared: "Okay, yes, it's you, since no one is willing to jump, then it's up to you to jump, if it's good, Ben Shao will hold you as this oiran, haha!"

His hand stretched out far away, pointing in a direction on the ice, and the crowd in that place instantly dispersed, leaving only two people standing there helplessly, Lei Dong didn't care, and shouted again: "It's the one in white, you jump!"

He said domineeringly, as if no one dared to resist.

Chen Guyu raised her head and looked at her without fear, Su Sheng'er's face was pale at that moment, she had already scolded the group of people in her heart with righteous indignation when the painting screen was dragged down before, but she didn't expect this group of people to find her so soon.

After Lei moved, a group of young people from the academy also came up, and said nonsense: "Brother Dong, good vision, I think this girl's appearance is not inferior to those Oiran candidates, and that temperament, tsk!"

"Hey, Brother Dong, aren't you missing a personal maid, I think this is good......"

"Needless to say, it's just that the bones of the body look a little weak, and the maid of the brother will be very tired!"

"Haha!"

No one spoke, only this group of people talked openly, Lei Dong listened to the praise of this group of subordinates, and the resentment in his heart because of the senior sister throwing away was also reduced a lot, but when he moved his gaze down again, he frowned: "Why haven't you come up yet!"

He didn't understand, how could a civilian, dare to go against his will?

Su Sheng'er clenched her teeth tightly, her expression was fragile, she hadn't encountered such a thing before, but she had never been so powerless, that was the young master of the Lei Mansion, she pursed her lips and took a step forward: "Lord Hai, isn't this an Oiran Competition?"

The sea steward frowned, and heard the meaning, the Oiran Contest was hosted by the government, representing the face of the City Lord's Mansion, but now it was so disrupted by a teenager, although it was indeed very unpleasant to say, but he didn't want to do anything, it was not worth offending the young master of the Lei Mansion for an Oiran Contest, but it was better to sell a face, and it would be easy to talk in the future.

So he said in a sharp tone: "Let you jump, is it so difficult? Come on!"

When Su Sheng'er heard this answer, her whole person was shaken, biting her lower lip tightly, her expression was sad and angry, she didn't expect to suffer such an unwarranted disaster, she didn't know how to dance, but in this case, what is the difference between it and an insult?

She looked back at Chen Guyu, Chen Guyu was also looking at her, her eyes were calm and meaningful, Su Sheng'er seemed to read something terrible from it, like a tiger in a cage, once released, it would be a river of blood.

She was afraid that he would be impulsive, so Su Sheng'er said softly: "Don't ......"

Don't be impulsive, don't do anything dangerous...... It's just a dance...... I'll just jump to show you......

Su Sheng'er didn't know if Chen Guyu could understand what she meant, and when she remembered what the young man said to her before, she was a little flustered, she had to hold back, and she would endure it...... As the most ordinary people, Su Sheng'er knows very well what she will encounter, she can only bear it, and she is powerless to resist, this is a civilian, she resolutely turned around, danced a dance, and then left with Ah Yu.

After taking a few steps, she couldn't walk anymore, her hand was held tightly, Su Sheng'er turned around a little desperately, he was still impulsive.

Chen Guyu silently walked up, took her hand, and then raised his head and looked at the thunderbolt.

Lei Dong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled angrily as if he had been provoked: "It seems that I have found a pair of lovers, haha, I am most interested in breaking up the mandarin ducks...... Someone! Beat the man to death with a stick! Bring the woman up!"

He didn't have any subordinates, after all, he just came to see the performance, but with his order, the sea steward gently signaled, and a bunch of officers and soldiers headed towards Chen Guyu.

After all, they are still ordinary people, and the so-called rule of law is just a joke, no one dares to say anything gossip, just watch all this in silence, watching the young man being beaten to death.

Ninghai City is so big, naturally no one will know these two people, maybe one or two people who have bought cloth will know Su Sheng'er, but so what, they will only think that the girl is extremely beautiful, the young man is impulsive, and their actions are a little stupid.

Whether it is better to be numb or smart, the people of the empire have always been indifferent enough when they encounter things, and it is enough for the people to protect themselves and not to care about themselves.

It's just a pity, some talented people looked at the beautiful Su Sheng'er, and suddenly thought in their hearts.

The fireworks were still blooming, the light was shining, the roar was rumbling, and the smoke of gunpowder was filling the air, and among the countless officers and soldiers who came close, it was as if they were on the battlefield.

Su Sheng'er was desperate, she wanted to rush over and push Chen Guyu away and let him run, run quickly...... Chen Guyu still looked at the somewhat childish but flamboyant face on the painting boat, and the sudden thick fog gradually blurred everything, and he couldn't see it, so he didn't need to look at it.

The next moment, a terrible shout rang out from the painting boat.

Everyone looked in horror, only to see that on the high platform, the thunderous head was strangely beginning to swell, his smile still stayed on his face, it looked a little funny, and after a few breaths, his head exploded like a full ball of leather met a sharp needle.

Red, white, and bloody.
