Chapter 46: The Woman in Red 10
After another performance, a burly man and a petite woman came up.
The man holds a spear in his left hand, and the woman also twists an embroidery needle.
Then the two fought against each other, and everyone around them applauded.
Yelan looked at the two of them, looked at the people who were performing below, and said to Wangchen: "Brother Wangchen, look, these two people don't look like Ah Lian and the man. ”
"Hmm."
The cold voice came from the beautiful lips of the forgotten dust.
"But this woman is left-handed, and I remember that Miss Ah Lian is right-handed."
Yelan said as she stared at the woman's left hand.
At this time, the two finished performing, and the people below coaxed and said, "Hey, Ah Lian will perform one more." ”
"It's just, one more show. Just show off your best skills. ”
Yelan's face showed such an expression, that woman was really Miss Ah Lian. But why she is left-handed, could it be that yesterday she deliberately made us think she was left-handed. But why did she do it?
Ah Lian couldn't refuse, and stood on the stage with the man and started to perform.
I saw that Ah Lian's mouth didn't move, but the voice came from her. And the same is true for the man, and the people around him all threw copper plates on the stage when they saw it.
After the performance, Yelan called Xiao Er and asked, "Xiao Er, who are these two?" Why did their mouths not move, but a voice came out? ”
Yelan pretended not to understand, but she was very curious. Fan asked, pointing at the two who were leaving. He still holds a wine glass in his hand, like a gentleman.
Xiao Er didn't speak, and Yelan understood at once. took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and Xiao Er spoke.
"I don't know, these two are our famous performers here. Their performance is called ventriloquism, and it is our living signature here. The man's name is Liu Wei, and the woman's name is Ah Lian. Both of them studied under Master Ma, but a few years ago, Master Ma taught both of them because he was unwell, and this Ah Lian has only been practiced in recent years. As the name suggests, this ventriloquist is the words that come out of the stomach. This can't be done without three or two years of hard work, and it takes a lot of effort to practice this. First of all, you must train your strength well, so that you can use your stomach to make sounds. And this woman can't practice. ”
"Why?"
"Because after practicing this, women can't have children."
Yelan nodded casually, and gave him another ingot of silver to let him go down.
Yelan said to Forget Chen: "It seems that it should be Liu Wei." ”
Forget Chen didn't know if he was listening, and said to Yelan, "Let's go to Ah Lian's house tonight." ”
Yelan shook her fan and stared at Forgotten Dust playfully. said teasingly: "Yo, Brother Forget Chen, this is the first time that the Buddha's heart has moved." I've taken a fancy to Miss Ah Lian, don't worry, I'll definitely help you after we've known each other for so long. ”
After Yelan finished speaking, he patted his chest with a fan, and he really looked like a friend who stuck a knife in his brother's ribs.
Of course, if you ignore the look of watching the show in your eyes, it's really like it.
The green tendons on Wangchen's forehead froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have something." ”
"You know, don't worry, I'll help you get the wind out."
Yelan nodded solemnly and said.
After forgetting Chen's words, the green tendons on his forehead jumped again. looked at Yelan coldly, Yelan knew that he would accept this truth when he saw it, if he really lost his temper, he would really ask for his own hardship.
"Not to her."
Forget Chen said emphatically again
"Then what are you going to do, visit someone's boudoir at night."
Yelan said it bluntly, with a disdain for Forgotten Dust in his eyes.
Forget that her patience has always been good, and this is what she has done. The surrounding cold air spreads out uncontrollably.
Before Forget Chen could speak, Yelan said remediedly: "No, no, it's wrong." You say, you keep talking. ”
Forget Chen had a cold face and said coldly: "I'll go to confirm one thing." ”
Yelan didn't dare to talk nonsense this time, because before she could speak, the cold swishing eyes glanced at her.
In the box next door, Xue Yu sat in his seat. Hooked his lips and said, "It seems that I guessed it." It's time for the day to be brought forward, and it's time to wait. ”
The night is coming, the so-called moon is dark and the wind is high, killing people and setting fires.
Don't think they're killing someone, they're just looking for clues.
The two of them carried light work and quietly fell to the roof.
Yelan has already changed back into women's clothes, and they are still the same clothes as before. It is embroidered with a dark flower, which looks more real at night. Forget the dust is still dressed in white, and his fairy-like face makes him look even less like an ordinary person at night.
It's just that now this fairy-like man is standing on the roof of someone's house, intending to do something sneaky.
Yelan looked at Wangchen's clothes, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wangchen, don't you think it's a little inappropriate for you to wear a white dress on this big night?" ”
complained in his heart: You are dressed in white, isn't it equivalent to a target in this dark night.
"Aren't you too."
Forget the dust and say back.
"This ......"
Yelan really couldn't find any reason to answer this, so she could only hold back: "Be careful." ”
When the two came to the backyard, Yelan was obviously a little bit of a thief. On the other hand, Forget the Dust, walk around there in the open.
Yelan asked in a low voice, "Brother Forget Chen, what are you looking for?" ”
"Evidence."
Forget Chen replied seriously, and continued to look for it after speaking.
Yelan didn't ask much, and looked at a corner, where there was an axe.
Yelan walked over and smelled a thick smell of blood as he got closer.
After taking it out, under the moonlight. It was covered in blood. Yelan thought to herself: It seems that this is the evidence that Brother Wangchen is looking for, this person is also stupid. How can evidence like this be placed here, at least it should be destroyed.
"Brother Forgotten."
Forget the dust turned around, and saw a blood-stained axe under Yelan's feet.
Yelan shook it and said: "The weight of this axe is not small, only an adult man can lift it, it seems to be Liu Wei." ”
"Hmm."
Just as he was about to put the axe back in its place, he heard footsteps.
Hidden on the roof, I found out that it was Ah Lian at a glance.
Yelan thought to herself: What is she doing in the backyard on this big night?
I saw Ah Lian walk to the place where the axe was placed, and saw that the axe was still there, and breathed a sigh of relief.
exchanged glances with Forgotten Dust and left.
After going back, Yelan sat down on the stool with a big grin and said, "It seems that the matter is already obvious. Now I will repair a letter to the local yamen and let them deal with this matter. ”
After thinking for a while, he handed the pen to Wangchen and said boredly: "That brother Wuchen or you should come, I don't want to write." ”
This reason is to be justified, and Forget Chen looked at Yelan's boring appearance, and the two dull hairs on his forehead stood up.
I didn't say anything, just changed the pen and wrote.
Yelan looked at it and snorted. Sitting next to him and eating snacks, he watched Wangchen write.
I have to say that the words written by Forget Chen are very beautiful, as cold as his people, and even the action of writing is so pleasing to the eye.
After Wangchen finished writing, Yelan sent this to the yamen and returned. Wait until someone delivers it to the magistrate the next day.
After coming back, Wangchen sat there with his eyes closed, like a sculpture.
Yelan wanted to walk over quietly, but he hadn't taken a few steps yet. Wangchen opened his eyes, stood up and said coldly, "It's not too late." ”
Then he walked into the inner room, and Yelan knew that he was driving people away. I didn't force it to stay, picked up a snack on the table and walked back.
