Chapter Twenty-Nine: Into the Devil's Cave
Wu Qi took the silver and bought two jars of fine Huadiao wine, carried the wine jar through the bustling crowd, and walked towards the sparsely populated West Street, West Street and East Street are simply two worlds compared to East Street, the men, women and children of East Street are clean and tidy, and the mental outlook makes people feel happy, West Street is full of bare-chested children, men are sloppy, and women's sharp voices speak meat words unscrupulously, which seems to be so superior.

Wu Qi was surrounded by a few little beggars, unable to take a step, and couldn't bear to poison the little beggar, and was in a dilemma.
A rough voice came from the side: "The little cubs are impatient, Peng Ye's friends dare to move, Tai Sui's head is moving, is there no one to clean you up for a few days, the skin is itchy", the little beggars heard the man's voice and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Brother Wu wants your brother to say that you are too soft-hearted, who dares to squeak with a slap on one of these little cubs", the man strode towards Wu Qi, his voice was as big as thunder, Peng Zhou put his arm around Wu Qi's shoulder, looked like a good brother and a good brother, and strode towards the house not far away with Wu Qi.
"Where is the soft-heartedness, it's just that children are naughty, there is no need to be so serious, my brothers were so naughty when they were young, looking at them and feeling kind."
"If you want me to say that brother is a big amount, if my brother slaps me one by one, let them go home and cry and call their mother to go", hearing Wu Qi's words, Peng Zhou craned his neck and laughed.
Wu Qi didn't want to talk to Peng Zhou about this matter endlessly, so he quietly interrupted and talked about other things, and Peng Zhou was suddenly distracted.
When he arrived at the house, Peng Zhou snatched the wine from Wu Qi's hand, picked up the wine jar and drank it with his neck up, the wine overflowed his mouth and flowed down the neck to the placket, and the placket on his chest was wet.
"It's a bad thing," Wu Qi frowned.
"It's so happy", Li Er threw the empty wine jar casually, the wine jar rolled around on the table, the round wine jar made a gurgling sound, and fell to the ground at once, making a loud "pop" sound, and the wine jar fell apart.
"I wonder what happened to my brother coming over this time?" After drinking the wine, Peng Zhou raised his head with a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, looking directly at Wu Qi, knowing Wu Qi's intentions in his heart, and that was all they could do.
"I want Brother Peng to help find a few stunning beauties", Wu Qi was looked at by Li Er, and he didn't dodge, but looked back, and the eyes of the two met, looking at the reflection in each other's eyes, and laughed non-stop for a while.
"Stunning beauty, it's not so easy to find, isn't it embarrassing for my brother!" Peng Zhou was playing Tai Chi, and Wu Qi looked at Peng Zhou's expression and knew that the other party was not telling the truth.
"As long as Peng Zhou thinks, what kind of beauty can't be obtained, brother, do I know where those beauties in Fengyue Tower came from, Brother Peng has never told Cen Niang about this", Wu Qi looked at Peng Zhou and said threatening words with a smile on his face, and people who didn't know thought that the two were talking and laughing.
"Brother Wu is willing to work hard for a girl, but he is unwilling to do business with my brother and me, it's a pity", Peng Zhou not only did not get angry, but looked at Wu Qi with a regretful face and sighed.
"What is there to regret or not to regret, it's just that the pursuit is different, Brother Peng pursues money, and brother pursues Wu Qiancen", Wu Qi knew that Peng Zhou had always been optimistic about himself and hoped that he could do it with him, but unfortunately everyone had their own ambitions.
"Wu Qiancen is Wu's dream, I can't give up my dream to do something without a dream, then brother, I won't be able to find the direction", Wu Qi stared at the debris on the ground and said lightly.
"Dreams, what dreams do we deserve these people, how can those beautiful women be owned by us men who have no money and no power, Wu Qi, you have been different from us since you were a child, brother, I always thought that you would do something big, you fucking cowered in the oblique building all day long for a woman, my brother is very disappointed in you, you will guard your concubine for the rest of your life! When you die, you have nothing but a pair of poor bones", Peng Zhou is most unaccustomed to this kind of man with no ambition in his life, and he also directed the direction of the fart, Peng Zhou roared at Wu Qi, felt puzzled and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, with a look of disdain.
"Brother Peng thinks about me, my brother is grateful, but everyone has their own ambitions, Wu Qi has no ambitions, brothers don't worry about me anymore", Wu Qi is very unhappy with Peng Zhou's nonsense, but others are also kind, it is really impossible to say that it is not scolded, which makes people very unhappy.
Seeing that the other party didn't eat oil and salt, Peng Zhou was not the faceless person, and he was kind enough to stick to other people's cold butts, Peng Zhou was disheartened and in no mood to continue.
"You have never been a child, why is this time so abnormal?" Peng Zhou diverted his attention, extremely curious about the behavior of the oblique building this time.
"Brother has never been able to interfere in the affairs of Xieyi Building, brother and I have always acted as instructed, but Cen Niang must have her reason for doing this, let's just follow the work", Wu Qi saw Peng Zhou inquiring about the matter of Xieyi Building, and he had a stirring in his heart, and dealt with Pengzhou's problem vaguely with haha. Sometimes friends are friends, and they have to distinguish between public and private what should be said and what should not be said, Wu Qi has always been measured, which is also the reason why Cen Niang has always trusted Wu Qi, even if Wu Qi has many people Cen Niang is dissatisfied.
"Brother Li is still bothering you to be more attentive this time, Cen Niang said that as long as you do a good job this time, the benefits will be indispensable to you, and you must have ......a good color", Wu Qi explained Cen Niang's request in one breath.
"I know, I've been working with you for so long, you don't know who I am, brother", seeing Wu Qi's rambling expression, Peng Zhou was swept away by Wu Qi before, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't speak as politely as before. Wu Qi didn't care.
"I don't know what kind of good-looking color Brother Wu said, there are many ways in it, is it generally good-looking, or medium-sized good-looking, or stunningly beautiful?" Peng Zhou opened his mouth wide and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick, spit residues on the ground from time to time, a big yellow and black tooth in the air, Wu Qi was faintly disgusted in his heart, Wu Qi hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the teacup on the table and pretended to drink tea.
"Naturally, she is a stunning beauty, and she must be on par with the appearance of the dream", Wu Qi was not shocking and kept talking.
Poof, Peng Zhou squirted out of his mouth with a sip of tea, obviously choked by Wu Qi's request.
"Brother, this is not easy! The dream of the oblique building is a great beauty that moves the country of Kyoto, and this kind of beauty is simply hard to find."
Thinking of the woman he saved a few days ago, Peng Zhou clenched his fists with both hands, and looked at Wu Qi with a disapproving expression: "If there is a woman more beautiful than Youmeng, who meets your various conditions, in addition to being older, how much silver are you willing to pay for her?"
Originally, when he heard Peng Zhou's emotion, Wu Qi thought that there was no hope, and his mood was a little low, why did he think he was hallucinating when he heard Peng Zhou's words.
As soon as Wu Qi heard Peng Zhou's words, he knew that he had this kind of person in his hands, this was really a mountain and a river, and there was no way out. At that moment, he said with a sincere face: "The price that satisfies Brother Peng is not lower than the price of any one."
When Peng Zhou heard Wu Qi's words, he was overjoyed and worried: "There is such a woman in my brother's hands, but the situation is a little special now."
"Since there is such a woman, Pengzhou should be happy, why does she look like a mourner, isn't there something wrong with that woman's identity?" Wu Qi's heart was now full of joy, and his heart sank when he looked at Peng Zhou's appearance.
"Brother Wu thought about it a lot, alas, don't say it, so be it! Brother will take you to see, and you will make a decision when the time comes", Peng Zhou said more and more sadly.
"Then let's go!" When Wu Qi heard Peng Zhou's words, he was nervous for a while, urging Peng Zhou.
"So be it! Don't worry, brother, wait a minute, brother will take you to take a look, if you are not satisfied, brother is looking for other girls for you, how about it? Li Er proposed, and Wu Qi did not object.
Both of them were a little anxious, and immediately stood up and Peng Zhou took Wu Qi and walked out, the two of them kept walking all the way, Peng Zhou took Wu Qi to the quiet alley, Wu Qi looked at the crisscrossing alleys, and admired Peng Zhou. It seems that Peng Zhou is not a man with no city on the surface, but a man with a thick and fine heart, and he must be careful when dealing with him in the future, maybe it will be planted in his hands that day.
The dilapidated and dirty log cabin stood in the wind, the puddle under the eaves was filled with black, stinking stagnant water, the door was closed, and the canoe did not squint, and strode towards the hut.
"Tuk Tuk" The dilapidated wooden door was knocked on, and there was no response inside, Wu Qi looked at Peng Zhou, stood aside and did not speak, waiting quietly.
"Squeak", the closed door opened a gap, and an old woman with gray hair opened a pair of lifeless eyes, looking at the people outside through the gap, and only opened the door tremblingly when she saw Peng Zhou's face.
"Grandma, what's the matter with you, your grandson has been knocking on the door outside for so long, and you haven't opened it for a long time", Li Er strode into the threshold, complaining impatiently.
"Erwa, you are a dead cub, now you are too old, your dead ghost father and mother stretched her legs, leaving you a bare-fart baby, and I don't look at who raised you with a handful of and urine, now I know that I dislike people", Peng's voice was full of anger, and Wu Qi's head was buzzing, and Wu Qi looked at Peng's and said: "Sure enough, people can't look good."
"When did grandma and grandchildren dislike you, I was really anxious today, so I was a little angry, so you don't care about your grandchildren!" Peng Zhou, a five-year-old and three-coarse sweaty man, licked his face, and Wu Qi, who was coquettish and thunderous, was stunned for a moment. Li Er accompanied the smiling face to talk about it, and it took a while for Peng's to lose his anger.
Peng Zhou pulled Wu Qi to run to the inner room in a hurry, and Peng Shi shouted in a loud voice: "Erwazi and your friends will eat here at noon!"
Peng Zhou's eyes were full of silver, where was he in the mood to care about whether he was in charge of food or not, he responded casually, and there was no follow-up.
Peng's waist was bent, trembling and walking to the kitchen, the cloudy old eyes glanced at the chickens pecking in the yard, his face couldn't suppress the joy, and walked towards the pecking chickens.
A young girl lay quietly on the bed, about ten years old, her long black hair was spread on the pillow at will, her hair was shiny and shiny, and she had an impulse to caress it, Wu Qi strode to the bed, and the beauty that greeted her made Wu Qi gasp: "I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman in the world."
"Beautiful!" Peng Zhou looked at Wu Qi's surprised appearance with a smug expression.
"Beautiful!" Wu Qi nodded, looking intoxicated. The sleeping beauty is pale, different from the ordinary white, it is the kind of sickly white, the palm-sized face, the eyebrows are like Yuandai, the eyes are closed and the long eyelashes are like a delicate and delicate little fan, the line of sight is down, Qiong's nose is slightly straight, and under the small and delicate Qiong's nose is a cherry mouth, and the body is covered under the quilt, which is not real.
Peng Zhou strode forward and lifted the cover on the beauty's body, and the action of lifting the quilt frightened Wu Qi, who came back to his senses from the beauty, only to see that the body under the cover was slender and graceful, wearing an old linen clothes, but there was a noble and elegant temperament. It seems that this woman's background is not ordinary.
"Brother Peng, where did you find this stunning beauty? looks so good, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary small family, will we get burned? Wu Qi was very satisfied, but he was satisfied, and he should inquire clearly, if he provoked something that should not be provoked, it would not be beautiful to provoke him.
"Don't worry! The identity of this woman has already been seen by the Wen brothers, she is from a village under Qizhou, and she is not worried about her identity or anything, but she didn't expect that poor country to have such a stunning color", Wu Qi suddenly burst into joy when he heard Peng Zhou's words.
"Brother Peng, why does this girl keep sleeping, why did you give her such a heavy medicine", seeing that such a beauty was abused Wu Qi blamed Peng Zhou a little: "If something happens, where can I find such an outstanding woman."
Brother Wu doesn't tell you, this woman was rescued from the mountains by my brother, a few days ago, my brother and I went back to my hometown to worship our ancestors, and found this unconscious woman on the way back, I wanted her to fend for herself, but I saw that she looked quite beautiful and carried her back, where did I think that this woman was a bottomless pit, and I didn't know what strange disease she had, brother, I invited her to a doctor to eat a lot of precious medicinal materials, and the old book was almost gone, if it wasn't for you to find me today, brother, I was going to send her to Fengyue Tower tomorrow, Although it is half-dead, it is not worth much, it is better than having nothing to lose", Peng Zhou talked about this matter with a stomach full of blood and tears, thinking that it was a cash cow, where did he think it was a bottomless pit.
After listening to Peng Zhou's words, Wu Qi glanced at the woman on the bed again, his eyes closed and he didn't eat the fireworks in the world, I don't know what kind of style it was to open his eyes, this woman's posture and dreams were not even half of hers, as long as this woman became the head of the oblique building, the dream could get out and live a free life, Wu Qi thought of the appearance of the woman in front of him, and he was able to satisfy the two women he cared about the most, and his heart was extremely happy.
"Brother Wu doesn't know if you can do this woman", Li Er looked at Wu Qi without saying anything, rubbing his thumb and index finger a few times, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"I can't be the master of this brother, you also know how good this woman is in front of you, although there are some shortcomings now, but after all, the flaws are not hidden, if the money given is too little, you will definitely be dissatisfied, if the money given is too much, Cen Niang will definitely not be satisfied", Wu Qi looked at Peng Zhou's unpredictable face and said with a straight face.
"What then? Aren't you satisfied", Peng Zhou listened to Wu Qi's ambiguous words and didn't know what Wu Qi wanted to do.
"Don't worry, wait a while, brother will find a carriage, let's get this woman to settle in the house outside the city first, brother, I am sending someone to call Cen Niang to see, if Cen Niang is satisfied, this matter will be decided, if we are not satisfied, we will not be benevolent and righteous, when the time comes, brother, you will go to the oblique building with me, brother, I will find a few beautiful girls to give you a happy life", Wu Qi saw that Peng Zhou's expression was a little unhappy, and he said his plan unhurriedly, and looked at Peng Zhou's second brother with a lewd face.
Seeing this, Peng Zhou smiled with satisfaction: "Sure enough, he is still a brother, and he acts generously and knows not to make his brother suffer."
"We have been friends for many years, even if we suffer losses, we can't let Brother Peng suffer, you can rest assured!" Wu Qi patted his chest and promised.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and all the unhappiness in front of them vanished.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" Cen Niang's tone was gloomy and looked at the new maid cicada sent to Youmeng, the cicada was trembling by the old bustard's cannibalistic eyes, and she couldn't bear the fear and returned with a trill: "Youmeng girl hasn't eaten for the past few days, and now the hungry people don't know, I'm afraid it's ......", the cicada's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end she even cried in fright.
"Everyone knows it's not good", Cen Niang roared with fire in her eyes: "The old lady doesn't know that she is going to die, and if you want to be foolish here, the old lady tells you that she is dead, and you don't have to live."
"Mom, spare your life!" The cicada's forehead slammed heavily on the ground, constantly disturbing, and Cen Niang turned a deaf ear to the tea utensils in her hand.
For a while, the room was as quiet as death, only the sound of "bang bang bang" was left, and the cicadas did not dare to stop kowtowing and begging for mercy.
A sudden knock on the door broke the silence in the room, and the cicada's heart finally relaxed a little, but it still didn't dare to stop at all.
"Come in", Cen Niang put down the tea in her hand, straightened her clothes and sat down.
A turtle man ran in quickly, saw a woman kneeling on the ground, walked forward without squinting and attached it to Cen Niang's ear, whispered a few words, and quietly retreated.
When Cen Niang heard Gui Gong's words, she turned her anger into joy for a while, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled with laughter.
The cicada didn't hear what the turtle said with her pointed ears, and when she was thinking about it, she heard the bustard's voice: "Get out!" If the dream starves to death, you go with her! The tone was unbelievably calm.
"Thank you Mom", thank you Mom, Cicada thanked her honestly, her hands straightened up her sore and uncomfortable legs, the flesh and blood on her forehead were blurred, it was not scary, and the cicada didn't dare to wipe it and ran away.
The sun was shining, the wind was clear and the trees were green, the cicadas were chirping and the frogs were chirping, and a cool breeze was blowing across the earth, bringing a burst of coolness to the pedestrians passing by.
"Tuk Tuk" heard the sound of knocking on the courtyard door, and the people in the house strode towards the outside of the courtyard, and the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and Cen Niang, who was tightly wrapped up and down, suddenly drilled into the crack in the door.
