"Murder? Birds of prey such as eagles, falcons and vultures have always fed on small animals such as rats, snakes, and snakes, so can they also harm humans? Ye Ruliu had doubts about Cambodia's words.

"I don't know the specifics, I've just heard about it." Cambodia said.

"It seems that the owner of this Netherworld is still a mysterious person." Shi Lang said thoughtfully.

"Yes, this person lives in a simple place on weekdays, and ordinary people don't know what he looks like." Cambodia said.

"Forget it, don't mention this Netherworld. Tell us about your profession. Shi Lang said.

"In North Korea, prostitutes belong to the untouchable class. Most of us come from poor families, and after entering this industry, we need to receive various artistic training in the teaching workshop from an early age, such as musical instruments, calligraphy, dance, literature, female celebrity, etc., and even learn some medical skills.

"After a long period of training and passing an examination, a girl is given a haircut and a haircut by the staff of the workshop to become a formal prostitute. Our job is mainly to attend various banquets by invitation, and to provide performances and guests for employers at banquets.

Of course, prostitutes in different regions vary greatly in the skills they learn, for example, prostitutes in Jinju are good at sword dancing. Prostitutes in Jeju Island are good at horsemanship. Prostitutes in Busan are best at Pansori. ”

"What kind of skill is it in the pan? This is the first time I've heard of it. Shi Lang interjected and asked.

"Panshori is a form of rap-based performance, which is done by two prostitutes working together, one of them standing and rapping, and the other sits on one side and beats the drums. Most of the content of the rap is some folk tales and legends that everyone likes to see, such as "Spring Fragrance Song", "Gangneung Plum Blossom Ballad", "The Legend of Shuying Lady" and so on. ”

"If we have the chance, we really want to hear you have a piece of "Spring Fragrance Song"." Ye Ruliu had heard the story about Chunxiang when she was in Nanyuan, and when she heard Cambodia's introduction, she said with great interest.

"No problem. We have a small performance hall in Ziwei Pavilion, which is used for customers to perform on weekdays. On weekdays, in addition to being invited to go out to serve guests, we take turns to perform in this performance hall for guests who come to listen and rap. Especially in the evening, many guests will come to Ziwei Pavilion to enjoy our plate. ”

As he spoke, Ziwei Pavilion was already in front of him.

Although the crape myrtle pavilion is located in the downtown area, it gives people the feeling of quiet and comfortable, it is a small courtyard with an all-wooden structure, the yard is more than 300 meters away from the noisy street, and the open space more than 300 meters away is full of lush crape myrtle trees.

The passage connecting Ziwei Pavilion and the main street is a forest path paved with blue bricks. After passing through this path, you will come to the courtyard gate of Ziwei Pavilion.

The courtyard wall of the crape myrtle pavilion is a wooden fence, and the courtyard gate is a rectangular wooden door with a crape myrtle flower carved in hollow.

Through the fence wall, you can clearly see the whole picture of the yard. To the north of the courtyard is a tall wooden house; On the west side of the courtyard is a row of slightly dwarf-looking wooden houses; On the east side of the courtyard is a flat land hidden under a few crape myrtle trees, and there are several simple fitness machines standing on the flat ground, which seems to be used by the people in the crape myrtle pavilion for fitness.

After a year's absence, he returned to the crape myrtle pavilion where he had lived and worked for many years, and the Cambodian cub standing in front of the wooden door of the crape myrtle pavilion couldn't help but burst into tears, and the scenes of the past were once again presented in front of him: the familiar fence wall, some dilapidated wooden houses, a few lush crape myrtle trees in the yard, and the flat land under the crape myrtle tree where he used to sweat on it. Everything is so kind!

"Cambodia, when you get home, you should be happy." Zhu Qing hugged the emotional Cambodian and comforted softly.

"Yes, Cambodian girl, I am really happy for you to finally be reunited with your sisters." Ye Ruliu also walked to Cambodia's side and comforted.

"Think about the year

The hardships and sins I have endured on the island are finally home, and I ...... Somewhat excited. Cambodia wiped a handful of tears, cried and laughed.

"Why is it so quiet? Supposedly, it should still be open at this time. Looking at the quiet Ziwei Pavilion, Shi Lang was a little puzzled.

Hearing Shi Lang's words, the three women at the scene realized that in the Ziwei Pavilion, except for the faint light from a window in the wooden house on the north side, it was dark and dreary, and there was no light and excitement at all when the brothel was open at night.

Is Ziwei Pavilion closed?

Just when the four of them stood in front of the door with doubts, they only heard a "squeak", and a small door on the east side of the north house was gently opened, and a young woman in a silver-white half-placket dress walked out of it. The woman turned around and closed the door gently, then walked towards the courtyard door with a lantern in her hand.

"Shunzi ......" By the light of the horse lantern, Cambodia saw the face of the woman who came to the front clearly, and exclaimed excitedly.

The woman called Shunzi only walked with her head down, and she didn't see Shi Lang and the others standing outside the courtyard gate at all, Cambodia's voice made her raise her head, and she saw Cambodia standing outside the courtyard gate at a glance, and her face suddenly showed an extremely shocked expression: "You...... Are you Sister Cambodia? Is it really you...... You're not...... Did you die on Jell Island? ”

Due to excessive fright, Junko was completely unaware that the lantern in her hand fell to the ground.

Looking at Shunzi's extremely frightened eyes, Cambodian Li couldn't cry or laugh, she moved her body forward, and said to Shunzi seriously: "Take a closer look, I'm Cambodian Li." Junko, don't be afraid. I'm not dead, I'm back. ”

"It's Sister Cambodia, it's really your ......" Junko finally came to her senses.

"Junko, hurry up and open the door, let's go in."

"Okay, Sister Cambodia." Shunzi first glanced at Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing behind Cambodia with suspicious eyes, and then opened the courtyard door.

"Mom and sisters are alright?" Stepping into the courtyard gate, Cambodia couldn't wait to ask Shunzi.

Junko replied as she picked up the lantern from the ground, "Good, good." Mom talks about you a lot. Let's go, and I'll take you to her old man's house. ”

Under the leadership of Shunzi, Shi Lang, Cambodia and other four people entered the house through the small door that Shunzi had just opened, and then passed through two sliding doors to the door of the innermost room.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report it." Shunzi first extinguished the lantern in his hand and put it on a wooden table, then turned to Cambodia and said.

"Okay." Cambodia said.

Junko gently pushed open the bronze wooden sliding door on her right, flashed sideways in, and closed the sliding door again.

After a while, Junzi came out of the door and said to Cambodia, "Mom told you to go in." ”

Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing followed behind Cambodia and Shunzi, and stepped lightly into the door.

The room was a little dimly lit, and a candle was standing alone on top of the candlestick. On the right side of the candlestick, an old woman in her late teens stood up tremblingly with the support of Junko, "Cambodia, my child, mother misses you to death......" The old woman stroking the cheeks of Cambodia who ran up to her arms with a pair of bony hands.

"Mom...... Are you alright......" Cambodia fell into the old woman's arms and sobbed.

"Good, good. Okay. If the old man doesn't see the people of the Wa Kingdom who have plagued us being driven out, he won't go to see Lord Yama. I'm tough. ”

"Mom, you old man should sit down and talk." Seeing that the old woman was a little excited, Junzi and Cambodian sat her on the cushion together.

"Cambodia, these three are ......" The old woman sat down, looked up at Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing, and asked Cambodia.

"Oh, Mom, I forgot to introduce you, these three

It is three good friends from my hometown. No, I can't get along in my hometown, so I came to Ziwei Pavilion with me, and I want to eat here. Cambodia said to the old woman according to the plan agreed upon in advance.

"Alas! In this world, people can't live. Well, although our life in Ziwei Pavilion is not easy, it is still no problem to give you food to eat. I think so, let this young man do some hard work in our grocery shopping sandwich, the two of them...... Just go to the back kitchen and help. ”

"Thank you, old man! I'm sorry for you! Shi Lang hurriedly thanked him, and together with Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing, he bowed to the old woman.

"Don't be so polite. From now on, this will be your home...... Ahem......" said the old woman, coughing violently.

"Mom, you need to pay more attention to your body." Cambodia said with concern while beating the old woman's back.

"Who says it's not, my mother has been in a hurry for the past two days, and she always coughs. Just now I went out to call Lang Zhong for my mother. Junzi said to Cambodia.

"Mom turned out to be very tough. Why are you in a hurry? Cambodia asked.

"It's not for Shuyi to get married." Junko said.

"Shuyi is married? Who are you marrying? Isn't she underage? Cambodia asked.

Junko just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the old woman waving her hand: "Don't talk about these troubles." You and your friends must not have finished their meal yet. Junko, you lead them to the back to eat something first, and then, arrange a place for them to live first, so that they can stay first. When Ming'er has time, let's have a good chat. ”

"Yes, Mom. I'll do it. Junko stood up.

"Okay, Mom. It's not early, your old man rests first. Tomorrow I will come and serve you. Cambodia also stood up.

"Old mother, I won't bother you. Rest early. Shi Lang said, and together with Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing, he bowed deeply to the old woman.

"Go, boys." The old woman waved at everyone.

Since many prostitutes were killed by the Japanese on Jeep Island last year, there are many spare rooms in the Crape Myrtle Pavilion. Ye Ruliu, Cambodia and Zhu Qing were arranged in one room. Shi Lang was accommodated in a smaller single room.

When it was almost time for the four of them to have dinner and then go back to their assigned rooms to rest.

The next day, after breakfast, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing, under the leadership of Shunzi, went to their respective positions to familiarize themselves with the business. Cambodian was called into her room by her mother to talk about the old days.

Cambodia told her mother in detail about the murder of the other sisters on Jeordon Island and what happened to her on the island. Speaking of sadness, Cambodia couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"Don't be overly sad, child. Mom is very relieved that you can kill so many Japanese people on the island alone. What you did was revenge for your dead sisters. Mom is proud to have a good kid like you. ”

"When I think of the tragic deaths of my sisters, I can't control myself......"

"Forget it. Death cannot be resurrected. As long as the living can keep the hatred of the country and the family in mind, and never forget to take revenge. Remember, as long as you live, there is hope for everything...... Cough...... Ahem......"

"Mom, I remember that your body has always been fine, why ...... now"

"Hey, don't mention it. Since we lost so many good children like you in Ziwei Pavilion last year, my mother's heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, and she was sad and depressed all day long, and her body was not as good as day by day. In addition, a few days ago, your youngest junior sister Shuyi encountered some trouble, and my body collapsed all of a sudden, and I coughed constantly all day. ”

"What's wrong with Shuyi? What's in trouble with her? ”
