Qian Ye touched the strip of cloth in her hand, and she lowered her eyelashes. Here was the obsidian chain she had been on this body since the day she had traveled, and a pair of dumb gold bells on the bracelet. She had seen it, and it was indeed gold, but it was unknown why it appeared on her body. But it can be seen that the original owner is very fond of this bracelet treasure, even if he is starved to death, he still protects this chain well.

Therefore, after she was taken home by her aunt, she hid the chain tightly, for fear of showing it to her. Even if she didn't care, it was the only thought of the poor child who froze to death on a snowy day. Perhaps, this is the only thing that can represent her identity, left to her by her mother or father. Even though, this bracelet is not valuable.

The new girls would learn dance instruments from the old mothers, and if they were really unsuccessful, they would let them grow up, and finally they became the most common and common women on the street who sold their hues in exchange for their daily needs.

Qianye knew that she was still a long way away from the day when she opened the bag, and with her current body, she was too young to do what others wanted to do. But even so, it should not be taken lightly. Because you never know what you're going to face next.

The sky in Yoshiwara Town is as gray as ever, and Edo is still lively, but I don't know how many young girls are buried here.

The sun rose on the horizon, and the day began again.

After the girls washed barefoot, they ate some rice porridge and gathered in a Japanese-style room to wait for the arrival of today's teacher.

Today, as usual, the art of dance is trained, and it is taught by a woman who is about fifty years old.

The woman came slowly in a purple kimono, her face was white and powdered, her skin could not hide the traces of time, and her strong red lips were very energetic.

She was holding a delicate cypress fan, and there was no decoration on the umbrella, but it was very beautiful.

The girls below called respectfully: "Teacher." After that, the one-day tutorial began.

Fan dance is a kind of dance that needs to show the soft body of the dancer, the dancer should step lightly, and the fan in his hand should be flexible. If you don't intend to hit the fan to the ground, you will be punished.

And the first lesson that Qianye experienced was - selection. It is to select women who are suitable as dancers from this group of girls, and focus on training. Maiko is also the name of the geisha apprenticeship stage, but as an ordinary technician, it is still a geisha who is more qualified. This is because they are usually used to serve the guests and eat, and to perform dances or musical instruments at the feast for fun. Unless you are old, you are not required to sell yourself.

This history alone is far from what Qian Ye knows. As far as she knew, the appearance of this geisha should be around the 17th century, and the early rise was only said to be a skilled woman. But no matter how history turns here, it doesn't have much to do with her. Now, she just wants to hold her head and howl wolf: Let me sleep well! Getting up before dawn is what kind of trouble is this!

But no matter how crazy he has been, he still has a calm look on his face, stepping on shallow steps, grasping the fan with his immature little hands, and circling along the established route.

Not...... I'm so dizzy! That's a lot of stars!

In this way, under the cover of Qianye's 'well-behaved' personality, she strangely had a room of her own. Although, it was against the big room next door, and she became a maid worthy of the name of taking care of people. It's not necessarily true to say that she is a maid, it's just to put her next to an adult technician and learn her demeanor.

In the middle of the night, the sister next door had already gone to bed early. Qian Ye also yawned, cleaned himself up, and got into the thin quilt to get ready to sleep.

The window squeaked open from the outside, and the cold wind of the night rushed in. Letting in was a man in a dark blue yukata, about twenty years old. Hair neatly tied up in a neat bundle and neatly tied with a headband. The broken hair on the forehead is flowing, and it looks very chic. The man held a katana in his hand, the scabbard pinned to his waist, and there was still a little blood on the blade, but it was not obvious. The clothes on his arms were cut, and a faint trace of blood red was revealed, obviously injured.

Outside the window, someone was searching with a torch. As for the purpose of this, it definitely has something to do with the man who broke in rashly.

The man held the knife and gradually approached a quilt in the corner, but he was indeed stunned, slightly relieved, and then put the knife into the scabbard. He carefully tore off a robe that Qian Ye had placed on the low cabinet to bandage his wounds, and then sat down next to the low cabinet with a knife to rest.

Qian Ye quietly opened his eyes in the darkness and pursed the corners of his mouth. Is it because he sees that he is a child, so he thinks that there is no threat? However, in this world, only adults can be a threat to others!

It's just that she can't give up on the fact that she ripped off her only outer robe!

But now there is still some time before dawn, and the people searching outside are still there, so there is no hurry for the time being. He closed his eyes and let himself sleep, but he was not asleep.

The night was uneventful, and when the sky was blue, the man stood up, gently pushed open the window, looked through the crack in the window at the people who had not been tracked down, and prepared to leave.

Qian Ye had already woken up the moment the man moved slightly, although she knew in her heart that this man was no threat to her, she didn't dare to let herself fall into a deep sleep. Should she be glad that the sister next door didn't wake up last night? Otherwise, such a big living person would definitely be discovered.

The man's fingers poked into the window, holding the window frame and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a slightly cold, but immature voice behind him: "What? Sleep on me, break my clothes, and then plan to leave quietly? ”

Because there was already a little light, the man's appearance was revealed in Qianye's eyes. It looked like she was in her twenties, her face was handsome and resolute, and her heroic brows were furrowed because of her words. The man hesitated and said, "Sorry, no offense." He turned around and was about to go through the window.

It's just that Qian Ye will allow him to leave like this? The body that is secretly conditioned in the Lichun Pavilion is not an ordinary child, and she secretly exercises her body every day, so her speed is amazing. The moment the man jumped up, she grabbed his belt and smiled maliciously: "Allah! So you get out of the way...... I'm at a loss! ”

The man frowned when he saw that such a young child still had such thoughts.

Qian Ye didn't care what he thought in his heart, he just said, "If you take me out, I'll give it back to you." If not, I'm ...... I'll scream! The belt looped around her wrist twice, her fingers pressed against the scabbard, intentionally or unintentionally.

The man's brows furrowed, and at this moment the sky had begun to brighten, and the sky was already white. I just heard that there was already movement around, and someone in Lichun Courtyard had already gotten up.

"Damn!" He cursed in a low voice, pulled up Qianye's thin body, threw the person out of the window, and jumped out himself.

Finally being able to breathe the air outside, Qianye was very happy. "Uncle, where are you going?"

The man was arranging his clothes, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her say this. "Big, uncle......" He is only in his thirties, how can he be called an uncle.

There is only one road to Yoshiwara from the outside world, but this road has a different meaning in the hearts of different people. As we all know, the technicians of Yoshiwara Town are never allowed to come near here, and if there is any abnormal movement, they will definitely be beaten back by the guards guarding the side. Even if you die, but you don't get out of here, you will die on this street! Therefore, without the approval of each family's mother-san, any act of leaving Yoshiwara Town without permission will be considered as an escape. The consequences of escaping, as mentioned above, will be beaten and scolded for starving you for a few days, or you will be directly killed and thrown out of the city.

At this moment, Qian Ye was standing in front of the fence, and in front of him was a man in a gray kimono, about forty years old, but he was tall. Especially the thick stick in his hand is even more chilling. Behind him, there were five or six more men in the prime of life, armed with long sticks.

"Bold Wandering Girl! If you go back now, I will do nothing to do it! ”

There are no women in Yoshiwara Town, and the only woman here is a technician, even if it is just a child under the age of five.

Seeing this, the man frowned, hid in the dark alley, and did not make a sound.

Qian Ye's eyes rolled and he tore away his big little face. "My sister didn't say she couldn't go out? Uncle, is it really not? ”

In the end, because she is still young, others can't bear to be too harsh. The man looked at her and was silent for a moment before he said sternly, "You can't go out!" ”

"Okay." Qian Ye lowered his head slightly, and replied with some disappointment: "I thought I could go out to play...... Well, I'm going back. ”

The man nodded, watched Qian Ye turn around and walk straight, and gradually disappeared into the surrounding alleys, before he whispered to others, "Which family is this?" ”

"I don't know. I'm too young to be listed yet, and I can't see each other on weekdays. ”

"However, after the New Year, it should appear in Oiran Road or in a certain building!" The man sighed, put his hands in his sleeves, and turned to walk back: "Tsk, what a pity......"

Qian Ye, who was stopped and had to go back, didn't feel any grievance or anger, this is the rule here, it seems that she sees it too easy to escape. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a touch of inky blue clothes, and he couldn't help but hook his lips and smile.

"Uncle, so you haven't left yet? Yes! At this time, there are not many people in the whole Yoshiwara! If the uncle walks through the main entrance, he may be found and arrested, and maybe he will die! ”

Holding his face, the childish child I was so afraid of made the man hate itchy. "What the hell do you want!"

"Actually, I didn't think about it!" Qian Ye touched his cheek with some embarrassment, and changed it to a sad look. "Uncle can't bear to watch me being sold? If a lovely child like me dies alone here, even God can't help crying! ”
