Volume 2 The Wind Rises in the River Chapter 37 Between the Water and the Clouds

On the shore of Liuquan Lake, a six-storey building stands between the clouds and mist, and the carved beams and painted buildings can be seen dimly, and the green tiles and vermilion eaves can be seen. People come and go in front of the door, bustling, groups of three or five, hooking shoulders and backs to rush into the door, and there are hidden warblers, swallows, swallows, silk and bamboo orchestral sounds from the inside.

Stopping in front of the building, Jiang Nan raised his eyes to look at the rare high-rise buildings in the world, two huge lanterns hung on the roof of the building, exuding a soft red light, the plaque in the middle of the light was clear and abnormal, and as far as the eye could see, there were three gilded characters on the book - between the white clouds.

Yao Zhankui is a frequent visitor here, leading Jiangnan to go inside.

"Zhang Gongzi, rare guest!"

"Li Yuanwai, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you forgotten Miss Ruping?"

"Xianggong Wang, I haven't seen you for a while!"

……

The bustle in the hall was even better, with people scrambling to get inside.

"Captain Yao, you haven't been here for a while!" A woman about thirty or forty years old greeted her, enthusiastically held Yao Zhankui's arm, and said softly.

Approaching him, a faint aroma of rouge came to his nose.

"Mother Wang, I have been entangled in mundane things in the house recently, and I have no time to come over to cheer, so I have to be free today, so this is not coming." Yao Zhankui was very familiar with this woman, pulling the family routine, and hugged him and walked inside.

Jiang Nan followed behind, muttering in his heart, why didn't he find out that the eldest brother was also a person of the opposite sex and inhumanity, and he left me behind when he entered the door, and he couldn't take care of it anymore.

I don't know if I heard Jiangnan's belly, Yao Zhankui, who walked up the stairs, grabbed the woman's waist, turned around and introduced: "Mother Wang, this my virtuous brother - Jiang Nan, is very skilled, he has saved my life many times, you have to help me entertain me in a while, otherwise I won't spare you." ”

"Haha, Master Yao, just put your heart in your stomach! Which of our girls is not skilled, and who can be better, but we will only find out after the competition. The woman was stunned when she heard this, and immediately laughed softly, raised her hand and patted Jiang Nan's arm twice, and gaged with Yao Zhankui.

Yao Zhankui experienced this for a long time, and immediately understood the meaning of her words, put his big hand on her buttocks and pinched it, shook his head and chuckled, looking like he couldn't do anything about you.

The woman's slender jade pointed at Yao Zhankui's chest, squinted and smiled, "I hate it-"

Yao Zhankui didn't care, laughed, and looked very useful.

A few people came to the second floor, and unlike the loud lobby on the first floor, the second floor was not so noisy, and there were many fewer people. The entire floor is divided into several private rooms by screens.

Sitting upstairs, you can see the show on the stage on the first floor, but you don't have to run down and squeeze around with a group of people. Moreover, the private rooms on the second floor are separated by screens, so they can't see each other's faces clearly, and only the hazy figure movements can be seen, which adds a bit of temptation.

Led Jiang Nan to sit down on the chair and hugged the woman on his lap, Yao Zhankui nodded his fingers on her red lips, and asked softly, "What's the show at night?" didn't wait for her to answer, and began to introduce Jiang Nan with flying eyebrows: "Brother Xian, let me tell you, you don't know!" It's not for nothing that this water and cloud can defeat Lifeng Fang. I used to go to Nali Fengfang, except for listening to small songs, I was doing that kind of thing, and it was very boring after a long time. But this water and clouds are different. ”

Maybe it was because he talked too much and was a little thirsty, Yao Zhankui picked up the tea bowl on the table and poured a few sips to moisten his throat. The beauty in her arms was also well-behaved, and when she saw that he was talking, she didn't interrupt, took out a handkerchief from her cuff, and gently wiped the tea on the corner of her mouth for him.

Yao Zhankui pinched her little face with satisfaction, and continued: "There are performances every night in this water and clouds, and there are many tricks, what a big change of life, Chang'e running to the moon, fairies going down to earth, beauties and sticks, and having fun with the people." The most important thing is that every once in a while, a new song will be released, which is completely different from the common ones, with a unique style, and once it is launched, it will definitely spread throughout the entire Jiangdu City the next day......"

Jiang Nan sat there quietly, occasionally taking a sip of tea, listening to Yao Zhankui's foaming introduction, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, seeing him so hard to promote Shui Yunjian, I didn't know and thought he was the boss.

"Ding" sounded a zither, Yao Zhankui stopped speaking, casually pointed to the direction of the stage on the first floor, and said softly: "Let's not talk about it yet, the show is about to start." As soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed, "I just said it to myself, I forgot about it, Mother Wang, hurry!" Bring us a few girls over and serve us, and bring us pastries and good wine. ”

As he spoke, he held the woman to the ground and slapped her on the ass, urging her to hurry up.

The woman answered crisply, and walked out step by step.

After a while, a group of men came up with wine and pastries, put things on the table, respectfully said "please use slowly" and withdrew.

"Yesterday is like the flowing water, far away from me, I can't stay, today I am worried about the chaos, the knife is broken, the water is more flowing, the glass is more sorrowful, the breeze of the Ming Dynasty is drifting......"

A sweet and soothing female voice sounded, Yao Zhankui closed his eyes and listened intoxicated, his fingers tapping on the armrest, following the rhythm.

Jiang Nan was like being struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and he sat there motionless. Except for the accompaniment, this piece is a little monotonous, both the lyrics and the rhythm are exactly the same as the original world.

Is there someone like himself, from the original world, a name instantly appeared in his mind - Du Mengying.

Except for her, I really can't think of anyone else who can know this song, thinking of her quiet and quiet pretty face, what kind of grief and despair it is to be alone in such a place.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan got up, jumped down from the railing on the second floor, like a Dapeng spreading his wings, tapping on someone else's shoulder, flashing to the stage with the help of a vertical body, grabbing the wrist of the singing woman, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Du Mengying?" ”

At this time, Jiangnan had angry eyebrows, and his hair was open, and he hated to swallow his life. Jiang Nan, who was very anxious in his heart, didn't notice that the two were less than a foot away, and his heavy snort had sprayed on the face of the singing woman.

The woman was immersed in her performance, but she didn't expect that a disciple suddenly appeared, and when she came up, she grabbed her wrist, and her head couldn't react for a while, and she looked at him blankly.

Jiang Nan saw that she didn't say anything for a long time, and couldn't help but add some strength to her hands, and repeated in a deep voice: "Say! Where is Du Mengying? ”

The woman said "oops", struggled hard twice, did not break free, but tears of pain poured out, her eyes were hazy, and she looked very pitiful.

"Where did you come from, dare to make trouble here, disturb the uncle's interest, and break his dog's leg for me!"

In the private room on the second floor, a man in a fancy dress saw that his favorite girl was insulted, and stood by the railing and shouted. After speaking, he grabbed the wine jug on the table and threw it towards Jiangnan.

Jiang Nan heard the argument, didn't look back, punched his backhand, and with a "pop", the wine jug was smashed to pieces, and the fragments were scattered all over the place.

When the guests in the hall saw that someone was making trouble, they screamed and retreated, vacating the places around Jiangnan, and did not leave, standing there waiting to watch the excitement.

When Jiang Nan was about to ask again, more than a dozen of the man's subordinates in fancy clothes had already rushed up.

When those people went downstairs, Jiang Nan knew that it was a group of wine bags and rice bags, and when he saw them come forward, he didn't care, and waved his left palm a few times at will, and knocked them to the ground.

A group of men in fancy clothes covered their injured parts and rolled around on the ground, screaming in pain.

Jiang Nan raised his head and glanced coldly at the man in the fancy clothes on the second floor, and he was so frightened that he bent down and retreated into the private room, not daring to show his head.

Although the man in the fancy costume was frightened, the guards between the water and clouds ran over, more than twenty people, each in black tunics, and their bodies were sturdy, which was by no means comparable to those lying on the ground.

Jiang Nan let go of the wrist of the singing woman, and warned her in a deep voice not to run around, otherwise she would ask someone.

The woman was also calm, just when there was a sudden change, and she was fighting like this, she didn't see her flustered, she rubbed her wrist that was caught red, and sat there silently, looking at Jiangnan with curiosity on her face.

Jiang Nan didn't have time to pay attention to her at this time, turned around and glanced at the guards in front of him, his mind moved slightly, this group of people was much stronger than the bandits he had encountered before. Looking closely, their temples are slightly bulging, their breathing is long, and their heartbeats are steady and powerful, and they must have cultivated good internal strength.

With a wave of the leader's hand, the guards surrounded Jiangnan in a well-trained manner, and their movements were uniform, with their hands staggered on their chests, and the standard opening posture of opening the door should respond to the enemy.

Although there are many people, Jiang Nanyi is not afraid, and said loudly: "I don't want to make trouble, just ask her a few questions, and leave after asking." ”

"Don't you think it's a little late to say that now? If you dare to come to the water and clouds to make trouble, you will first throw it into the Liuquan Lake to wash your brain. The leading guard scolded with a serious face, and didn't wait for Jiang Nan to say more, his eyes signaled to the subordinates beside him, and the man led the order to step forward.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan didn't talk nonsense, thinking to himself, put you down first, otherwise it's useless to say anything.

The guard who stepped forward just now saw Jiang Nan's clean palm and extraordinary skills, and he was a little drumming in his heart, and cautiously moved in front of Jiang Nan, staring at Jiang Nan's hands with his eyes.

Jiang Nan was anxious to know Du Mengying's situation, but he didn't want to delay it for too long, seeing him so careful, he jumped up, flashed in front of him, and slapped his right palm on his chest quickly, with a muffled sound, the person flew a few meters away before falling to the ground, without humming, he must have fainted.

The leading guard was in his heart, so fast in his palm, before Jiang Nan made a move, he was also engrossed in staring, only vaguely aware that he had a palm, and he was stunned that he didn't see the trajectory of his palm. It seems that today I met a master, and I guess I can't beat it, thinking of this, I yelled: "Let's go together." ”

When the guards heard this, they quickly met them, and for a while their fists danced, enveloping Jiangnan in it.
