Chapter 33: Little Red Feet
Several people withdrew from the courtyard, Gu Chong wanted to ask Lu Qiu Wuyan what he saw, but when he saw Song Yu beside him, he didn't speak, but Lu Qiu Wuyan hesitated for a moment, and then truthfully said what he had just found in the courtyard.
"You mean, the things in this courtyard are also singing?" Gu Chong asked.
Lu Qiu nodded wordlessly, "It seems that the original owner of this house may be a singer." The voice I heard last night was probably the first master. But because it's a joke, I can't tell exactly if it's a man or a woman......"
"It's a woman," Song Yu, who had been standing next to her without speaking, suddenly spoke. Gu Chong and Lu Qiu looked at her in unison, and Song Yucai was shocked to realize that he was speechless and lowered his head.
"I, I just heard the singing voice, and I thought it was a woman's ......"
Lu Qiu looked at her a few times without saying a word, and then withdrew his gaze.
At dusk, the people outside came back one after another, and Lu Qiu wordlessly and carefully found that although Wu Yan and Song Yinan were with their companions, the two made eye contact from time to time, full of desire and ambiguity.
Lu Qiu frowned silently, although in order to survive in the inner world, she did not reject some despicable means. But this Wu Yan and this Song Yinan ......
It really made her a little sick.
Gu Chong obviously didn't like these two people, he wanted to remind Xie Jinyu several times, but he never found the right time.
After eating, when they went back to their rooms, taking advantage of the convenience of Song Yinan, Lu Qiu thought about it speechlessly, but walked to Xie Jinyu and whispered something to her.
Xie Jinyu raised her head and looked at Lu Qiu speechlessly, still with no expression on her face. After a moment, she nodded and whispered thank you.
"Gu Chong, tonight I may be awake until midnight to see what that singing thing is, if you hear any sound, you must not open your eyes."
On the way back to the room, Lu Qiu said to Gu Chong in a wordless whisper. Gu Chong was a little puzzled,
"Does it matter what you sing? It's worth the risk you take, will something happen......"
Lu Qiu shook his head wordlessly, "It's okay, I'll be careful, I always feel that this matter won't be so simple." ”
Gu Chong nodded helplessly.
……
Late at night, Lu Qiu lay silently beside Gu Chong, and the big man was already asleep at this time.
He also said that he was worried, and he slept faster than a pig.
In order to make it easier to see the situation outside, Lu Qiu wordlessly poked a few holes in the paper window in the higher place, she didn't dare to hide at the base of the wall, if the ghosts outside were aggressive, it was a terrible thing to find that she was still awake.
"Bah-"
"Ahh
Suddenly, a familiar shrill singing sound sounded outside, wafting in the courtyard.
Here it comes.
Thanks to Gu Chong's sturdy and tall figure, Lu Qiu Wuyan could just nest in his arms, looking at the scene outside from the gap between Gu Chong's neck and shoulders.
Today's moon is still a hairy moon, but fortunately it is slightly brighter than yesterday's moonlight, so that it is not impossible to see clearly.
Lu Qiu wordlessly faintly saw that there was a cloud of shadows, constantly projected on the window paper.
"Lang Lang Lang-"
The shadow slowly approached, and Lu Qiu's speechless pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
She saw a pair of palm-sized women's feet in red embroidered shoes dangling through the window paper hole.
The reason why it is only the size of a palm is not because it is a child's foot, but in the old society, those women used strips of cloth to wrap their feet in order to get the so-called three-inch golden lotus.
Although Lu Qiu Wuyan poked this window paper hole is not the highest row, it is at least more than a meter high from the ground, and you can see this pair of little feet at such a distance......
Suddenly, the little feet suddenly floated back upside down and stopped in front of the row of holes.
The red upper is embroidered with various patterns with colored threads, as well as the mandarin duck, at this time, the mandarin duck's smart eyes seem to come to life, staring at the room.
Lu Qiu became speechless and nervous, she shrank into Gu Chong's arms again, but fortunately, the man did not turn over uninterestingly, but subconsciously put his hand on her body.
It was a long time before the little feet floated away.
Lu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief speechlessly.
……
On the other side, Wu Yan pushed the deafening snoring man next to her in disgust, leaned up, and began to look at the small old and dilapidated house.
She's a barmaid, no, to be more clear, she's a desk girl.
She doesn't want to do this either, but in this society, what can she do, a weak woman with only a junior high school education? For as long as she can remember, she hasn't seen what her father was like. Every day there was a different, but seemingly identical man who came into her mother's room and came out, and she grew up in such an environment.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on the conditions that God had given a woman to survive, because her mother did the same and raised her to adulthood, and although she later gave up her studies on her own initiative, her mother still paid her a considerable amount of money every month.
Later, she came across this What Broken Wheel.
She had come into contact with all kinds of low-class people in society, but she had never been so close to death.
However, even in the inner world, she can survive by relying on what she does best.
This man is much worse than the men in the previous two worlds, thinking of this, Wu Yan kicked the man next to him in disgust.
"Sister and sister do a bunch, and the two of them sit down to learn work. Sister first learned to embroider dragons and phoenixes, and Huo was rough in her work class, and she didn't suffer ......"
Suddenly, a crisp ballad sounded and startled Wu Yan.
What was that?
She looked around in alarm, but found nothing.
Hallucinations?
At this moment, a small shadow was cast over the window paper. If Lu Qiu was silent, he would find that this height and shape were the pair of small red feet that were floating in front of their window just now.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Somehow, those little feet began to kick the window paper in Wu Yan's house frantically, and soon the window paper was kicked through, and the red spikes emerged from the hole.
Wu Yan obviously saw it too, she panicked and let out a miserable scream,
"Ahh
Although the volume is not loud, it is very abrupt in this silent night.
Even so, the man next to him didn't wake up, rolled over, and fell asleep again.
Hearing Wu Yan's screams, the little feet suddenly stopped kicking the window paper, but flew away from the window as if fleeing for their lives.
Wu Yan saw the pair of crazy little feet leaving, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she reached out to shake the man next to her to wake up and accompany her, and the crisp song came from her ears again.
"Ah Mei embroiders a saffron flower, saffron flower-"
"Ah Mei,"
"Sister-"
The voice suddenly stopped singing, but kept shouting "Ah Mei." ”
Wu Yan has experienced two worlds, and she has never been awake at night, so where has she ever seen this kind of posture, and the whole person is sitting on the bed, frightened and helpless.
"Sister-"
Suddenly, the voice appeared clearly in her ears, Wu Yan turned her head in a panic, only to hear a "flutter", her body slowly fell down, blood splattered from the cut throat.
"You're not a sister—"
It was the last thing she heard before she died.
"Where's Ah Mei-Ah Mei-Ah Mei-"
A female voice echoed through the room.
