Mo Qi waved his hand in panic: "The little one doesn't dare." Please search (product @ book ¥ net) to see the most complete!

I rolled my eyes in confusion, Mo Wushuang looked at me with a little surprise, and then glanced at Mo Qi behind him, "He's just a little guy." ”

Mo Qi also agreed, "How can the little one sit with the prince and the girl!"

I was silent, I had never understood the rules of the mortal world, so I nodded and stopped talking.

"Where is Ah Wu from?

After a moment, Mo Wushuang asked.

Hearing this, I raised my eyebrows slightly and squinted at him, "How do you know that I am not from Hangzhou?"

He raised his lips and smiled, his thin lips moved slightly, and it was indeed a suppressed and low cough, "Ahem... Ahem..."

Mo Qi immediately stepped forward, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him, he took it with one hand, but the other hand was still hidden at the corner of his lips, coughing continuously, the green tendons on his forehead were raised, and the teacup trembled slightly under his hand.

Mo Qi stood aside and was anxious, at a loss.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I said, "Pat him on the back... Maybe I'll feel better..."

"Oh oh..." Mo Qi nodded hurriedly, and immediately reached out and patted him on the back, but because of his panic, he never mastered his strength.

Mo Wushuang's cheeks began to flush... The cough became more and more rapid, and he clutched his heart as if he was tearing his heart and looked painful.

I reluctantly got up and said to Mo Qi: "Get out of the way..."

The hand patted Mo Wushuang's back, sometimes caressing, smoothing his breath, after a while, listening to his coughing ease, I asked, "Is it better?"

He nodded reluctantly, propped his hands on the table, and after a long time, his breathing gradually smoothed out, and after taking a sip of tea, his complexion recovered slightly.

I sat back where I was, frowning slightly, touching his body at the right time, and I always felt something unusual... Inexplicably weird touch, but I don't know where this strange thing comes from.

"Ah Wu... Thanks a lot. ”

The pale red under his eyes became deeper and deeper, like a cluster of flames blooming at the bottom of his eyes, and the demon was scorching.

"It's just a gesture. ”

Although Mo Qi's expression was flustered, he was not surprised, indicating that Mo Wushuang's cough should have been there for a long time, if he changed to a younger guy who was calmer than Mo Qi, he would definitely not need my help.

"Ah Wu hasn't told me yet, where are you?"

The smile on the corner of his mouth was shallow, and his expression returned to his amorous state, as if the person who coughed and suffered was not him.

I glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and my palms unconsciously clenched into fists: "What are you asking this for?"

"I just want to make friends with Ah Wu, Ah Wu won't be unwilling, right?"

As if afraid that I would refuse, he stared at me with a hint of sincerity in his eyes and a little aggrieved.

I was stunned by his gaze, and I turned my head in a hurry, "No, no." ”

"It's good if you don't..."Mo Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked me again: "Then Ah Wu, can you tell me where my family lives?"

"Can I not say it?"

Actually, I still want to say, can you not call me Ah Wu...

But... Looking at his sincere eyes, I couldn't speak, my eyes drooped slightly, and my heart was a little depressed.

"It's inconvenient to disclose? It's okay..."He smiled disapprovingly, "Ah Wu is here to play in Hangzhou?"

I nodded vaguely, I still don't understand why he pestered me, maybe the word 'pestering' is a bit inappropriate, but I really can't think of any other word to describe his behavior at the moment.

"I have lived in Hangzhou for nearly 20 years, and I am quite familiar with every grass and tree in Hangzhou, but do you need me to be a guide to take you around?"

His voice was earnest, and his expression was sincere, but I didn't know how to answer, and I was speechless for a while, relatively silent.

He may have sensed my vague resistance, and smiled: "Hehe... It's me who is abrupt, and I still hope that Ah Wu is strange. ”

I lowered my eyes and didn't look at him, just shook my head slowly, "No." ”

How can I blame him for his kindness? It's just that after all, it's too similar...

Whether it was the cynical smile, the aggrieved look, or the occasional light in my eyes when looking at me, it all made my heart beat and I couldn't help myself, but I didn't expect that the shadow that I had never seen on Liyuan would be seen in an irrelevant mortal.

Such a subtle coincidence made me uncontrollable panic.

I raised my eyes and looked at the long dark red hair, and after careful consideration, I finally spoke, "Mo Wushuang, can I ask you a question?"

You ask. ”

"Why is your hair red?" Such a different hair color is especially strange in this area of Hangzhou, I can't help but be vigilant, maybe, he is a monster sent by Baili Diyi?

Moreover, when he touched his body, it was obviously a mortal body, but it was faintly strange.

"Hair? Who knows, maybe it's because of my mother, or maybe it's due to weakness, or maybe it's an evil spirit invading..."He looked sideways slightly, staring at the red hair that hung down on his shoulder.

I groaned, eyes locked on his face, unable to tell if he was lying.

But in his eyes, there was clearly a lonely look, and he suddenly remembered what Mo Qi said, he had no memory of his mother, and his father treated him indifferently, not like ordinary father and son...

For mortal children, the favor of their parents has been overflowing, but it is far away from him.

And the long dark red hair that is different from ordinary people, even if you don't care about it, when you face the strange eyes of others, you will always have a little nostalgia in your heart...

There was a sour feeling in my heart, and I turned my face away, "Mo Wushuang, do you mind your hair, if you don't like it..."

"I love it. ”

"Huh?"

I was stunned and turned to look at him.

"Maybe... This is a gift left to me by my mother? Although there were no people with this kind of hair color in my dynasty, I heard that in the Western Regions and Mobei, there are many Hu people and Turkic people with such different hair and skin colors..."

There is a hint of loneliness in his smiling eyes, more indifferent, seeing him like this, I will smile, perhaps, in his heart, this strange hair is also a part of his life, is a gift left to him by his mother with a unique temperament.

"It's just a pity... I'm not in good health, I can't go far away, otherwise, I really want to go to the Western Regions and Saibei to see the different exquisiteness and different customs..."

His tone was full of longing and yearning, but Mo Qi behind him dimmed his eyes, and his eyes were full of helplessness.

I sighed lowly, my heart softened, and I looked at him quietly: "Mo Wushuang, I have been in Hangzhou for two days, and I have never been to the water painting boat, can you take me to see it?"

"Really?"

His eyebrows fluttered, a little surprised and a little suspicious.

I hesitated a little in my heart, but under his eager gaze, I nodded unconsciously: "Seriously." ”

If you do this, you can't go back on it.

I looked out the window, the sun was just right, the warmth was pouring down on the ground, the bustling crowd was coming and going, and the hawkers were shouting one after another, gradually dissipating in the wind...

"When are you going?"

I thought for a moment and said slowly, "... Let's go. ”

Standing up, holding Xiaobai in his arms, he took a few steps, but I didn't see anyone behind me, I looked back in confusion, he looked at me in a daze, and his expression was slightly weird.

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

He suddenly raised his lips and smiled, his laughter was clear and wanton, and he got up and walked in front of me, and his smile grew: "Ah Wuguo is a true temperament. ”

I glanced at him suspiciously, wondering what he meant... But he didn't bother to dig deeper, so he turned around and walked out.

Mo Wushuang slowly followed, came to my side, and looked down at Xiaobai, "This little thing has a big temper." ”

Hearing this, I glanced at the back of his hand, and the brocade had been removed, and the two brown scars were very abrupt on the white skin.

"It's scared of life. I opened my lips slightly and explained.

"But why do I look at it and don't like me so much, is it because I behaved recklessly yesterday and made it so annoying?

He frowned and stared at Xiaobai, and that puzzled look made me just laugh.

It's polite to dislike it... I haven't disdained it yet...

I shook my head and chuckled, "Are you still fighting a cat?"

He was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "It's just that you cat looks too spiritual... As if he could understand human speech..."

He came closer, Xiaobai raised his eyes and glanced at him, and simply closed his eyes.

“... It may be sleepy. ”

Seeing Mo Wushuang's depressed expression, I opened my mouth again to explain.

Only then did he nod slowly, and the corner of his eye still fell on Xiaobai from time to time.

"That is Qin Yulou, the largest song and dance workshop in Hangzhou. ”

Walking through the bustling street, into the alley, at the corner, Mo Wushuang raised his finger forward, signaling me to look.

I looked up, and on the plaque in the closed courtyard, three words were engraved on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing: "Qin Yulou".

"Why is there no one?"

I asked, confused.

Mo Wushuang's expression was slightly confused, he covered his lips and coughed lightly, and said, "There will be people at night." ”

"Why is that?"

He chuckled, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he was sultry: "The song and dance workshop is also a strange place in the fireworks alley, except for the painting boat in the Xizi River, it is all open at night. ”

Fireworks Alley...?brothel... Is it?

I blinked, and I already knew a little in my heart, no wonder I only opened the door at night to do business, and if it was during the day, wouldn't it become a daytime prostitution?

It's not right, it's not right... It's really not appropriate. I nodded solemnly......

"What about the boat?"

I asked again.

"The woman in the painting boat is either an oiran or a Qing Qi who sells her art but does not sell herself, and she performs in the painting boat during the day to attract customers. ”

"I see..."

I rubbed my chin and murmured.

I thought that when I entered the Qinglou, they were all women who sold their bodies... It seems that I know very little about mortal things.

The painting boat is located in the Xizi River, there are two floors, the corridor surrounds, the spiral staircase is connected, the periphery is provided with a carved railing, the bead curtain jade curtain decorates the doors and windows of Nanmu, the top floor stands three double-layer pavilions, the pavilion eaves are hung with big red tassels, embellished with bells, the wind passes, the bell sounds, smart and crisp.

There are rooms and performance places in the painting boat, and the private room on the second floor has the best view, and the bottom is a place where people with a little money sit around and watch.

"Come with me. ”

Mo Wushuang smiled and stepped forward, the little guy guarding the shore saw him from a distance and immediately greeted him, "Mo Gongzi is here to listen to the music today?"

Mo Wushuang beckoned behind him, Mo Qi immediately understood, took out a few taels of silver from his arms, and handed them to the little guy who came up.
