Chapter 5: Trickery

While untying the bag wrapped in the pipa, Bang Qin said to Lao Chen: "Lao Chen! We're old acquaintances. You haven't heard my lute. ”

"Girl!" At this time, Lao Chen saw that he had made up his mind, and he didn't dare to persuade him again.

"Lao Chen!" Zhao Yan called him and said, "Girl, it's getting late, there will be no guests." Have a seat! ”

"Oh... Scold... Good. Lao Chen sat beside Zhao Yan and looked at the piano.

Hold up the pipa and sing while playing. The pipa sound is matched with her natural beautiful timbre, but it has a sense of poetry.

Lin Feng tasted a little wine, and for the first time saw a real person, although the concert was a little chilly, and the audience was only three people. In this old era, it is very memorable.

"I am old,

I'm far from the end of the world.

You are separated from my cape,

Jun was born, I was not born.

......”

Lin Feng squinted his eyes, his divine sense passed through the wooden door, and he didn't know when a large number of yin souls had gathered outside the door. Lin Feng sighed lightly and continued to listen to the song, not caring about anything outside the door.

......

"It's a day of the fifth watch, the weather is dry, be careful of the candle." The sound of knocking in the distance was heard, and the watchman was shouting.

But the man who beat the watch was not the poor man, who found an attic outside and slept soundly against the wooden railing. As soon as the voice of the watchman came, he suddenly woke up, stood up, looked up at the moon, sighed, blamed himself and said, "Oops! It's all five watches, and they all slept to death. ”

He tightened his thin clothes, and the clouds were darker and colder during the fifth watch, and he picked up the gong, and was just about to strike it, when he heard footsteps behind him. I was shocked, and I looked back, but there was no one to see.

He suddenly remembered what he had said a few hours earlier, and he was frightened, and he turned around and walked lightly, his ears paying attention to the ringing behind him.

Really! He had just walked a few steps when the sound of footsteps from behind him came again. The poor man was so frightened that his body trembled, and the hair on his body stood upside down, and he hurriedly walked forward, and the sound of his footsteps landing behind him became dense, and it seemed that the invisible things behind him really followed him.

"Oops," he screamed, and when he got to the stone pillar of the gate, he quickly hid and poked his head out to look at the empty place behind him.

"Hey!" He was suddenly tapped on the back and shoulder, and he was so frightened that as soon as he turned around, he saw the old woman he met at Lao Chen's noodle restaurant.

He was frightened into a cold sweat, and when he saw that it was a person, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're so unkind, you were talking to me just now, you don't know me now?" The old woman smiled and looked at the poor man and said.

The poor man couldn't help but be angry at this time, but he couldn't scold a woman, so he had to say helplessly: "Eldest sister! People are scary, scary to death. It's been five watches, why don't you go home to sleep, what are you wandering around the street? ”

"I'm looking for you!" The old woman stared at the poor man and spoke.

"You! What are you looking for me? The poor man was afraid that this old woman would stick to himself and feel unspeakably greasy in his heart, so he had to leave.

When the old woman saw the poor man leaving, she hurriedly said, "Huh? You slow down and wait for me. You go so fast! Hit the ghosts? ”

Seeing that the man continued to walk forward, regardless of it, she said loudly: "You go further!" Nanshikou is murderous! ”

When the poor man heard this, he quickly turned around, looked at the old woman and asked, "Murder?" Who did you kill!? "He had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The old Wu family, who opened a pawnshop on West Street, has two lives." The old woman said mysteriously, and when she saw the poor man's frightened look, she continued: "Oh! I've seen a lot of people slashing and killing, but I really haven't seen this execution ground in the middle of the night. ”

The poor man was shocked in his heart, didn't the old Wu family die early? Now he is actually beheading at the execution ground? It's the middle of the night, are you kidding?

"Huh? You're just going to take me to see it. As she spoke, the old woman leaned into the poor man, who was shocked in his heart, and was even more startled by the old woman's pull.

Then he thought that it was not the old woman who was making fun of him, so he quickly pulled out the arm that was held by the old woman, and said to her, "Oh, be respectful." It's the middle of the night, don't move your hands and feet. ”

As soon as he said this, the old woman became more interested, glanced at the man up and down, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you are a big man, and you are quite shy." Will you take a look with me? As she spoke, she came up again.

The poor man hurriedly hid back, stared at the old woman with small eyes, and said, "I'm not going, I, I still have something." I'm leaving. ”

"Uh... Hee-hee-hee! Seeing the poor man fleeing in embarrassment, the old woman hid her face and smiled.

......

The pipa was wrapped in silk cloth again, and everyone was fascinated by the pipa and the singing just now.

"Well sung! My old Chen is really blessed with ears, hehe..."Boss Chen sat there and chuckled.

Lin Feng also smiled, the three of them gathered at a table, drinking small wine and listening to small songs, this life was short and comfortable.

"Wait a minute!" As soon as he finished playing a song, he was also happy, walked slowly towards everyone, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Come!" I toast three of you. ”

The three of them touched a glass of wine with the harp and drank it.

"Hehe..."After Lao Chen finished drinking, he also spoke: "Lao Chen, I am also happy today, and I will not hide it from the two of you, my Lao Chen has a happy event, tomorrow!" My daughter is about to leave the cabinet. Haha..."

"Great! I'd like to congratulate you on that. The piano was also delighted, and greeted with wine.

"Congratulations!" Lin Feng also raised his wine glass and congratulated, at this time, he saw that Zhao Yan was silent out of the corner of his eye, that look at Lao Chen's eyes was really difficult to understand, Lin Feng couldn't read minds, but the more he pondered about it, the more strange it became.

"Good! Good! Lao Chen didn't notice Zhao Yan's eyes, and thanked him: "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

Lao Chen was sitting opposite Zhao Yan, he didn't congratulate or care, and said softly: "My daughter and her mother died early, so many years. I'm a father and a mother. Relying on this small shop, my daughter is pulled up. Now, now my daughter is getting married. Scold... Okay, good, that's good, I'm worthy of her mother. Lao Chen held back tears and endured not to let the tears stay.

Lin Feng nodded and said, "It's really hard for you." ”

"Yes! Not easy. Bang Qin said softly, she looked at Lao Chen and continued: "Lao Chen! Actually, I'm here to say goodbye today. ”

Seeing Zhao Yan and Lin Feng looking at her, she lowered her head and said softly, "I'm leaving!" Today is my last game, and it's also a happy event to say it, and this wine covers my face, so I won't hide it from the three. It's just that I'm afraid you'll hate me. ”

"The night is long! The girl can speak slowly. Zhao Yan took the initiative to speak.

Lin Feng and Lao Chen nodded, "Long Night, where is the girl going?" Lin Feng asked.

"A few days ago, I met a person. ”

"Yes, someone who has been trusted for life?" Lao Chen guessed what the Qin was going to say, for the Qing people, if she wanted to leave, it was nothing more than someone wanting to ransom her, so he guessed it the first time.

Bang Qin smiled slightly, "Exactly!" He ransomed me out today, and I went straight here to wait for him after the game. He said he'd pick me up in a moment. ”

"Is it the main house?" Lao Chen asked curiously.

Bang Qin pursed his lips and smiled again, looking happy, and said, "He has never married." ”

"Oops! That's a great event, a great event, hehe..."Old Chen laughed.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Lin Feng also laughed.

"Come on! Let's make a toast to the piano girl. Zhao Yan raised his wine glass and said loudly with blessings.

Although Zhao Yan said little, he was a person with words, "Come!" This cup celebrates the girl's freedom from the sea of suffering. ”

The four people on the square table collided with a glass of wine, and after they drank it all, tears condensed in their eyes, and they looked at Lin Feng and the three of them and said, "Thank you three." I was sold into a brothel when I was a child, and this is my life! I don't have to choose.

It's just that since I was sensible, I worshipped the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva every day, prayed for incense on the fifteenth day of the new year, and just hoped that before I became old, I could meet a sweetheart and take me out of the prostitution door. Now it seems that the Buddha and Bodhisattva have really worked. ”

When the words fell, the tears could no longer hold back.

Lao Chen folded his hands and bowed in a pretentious manner.

"It's a happy event! Don't cry. Lin Feng said softly.

Zhao Yan opened his mouth and said: "By the way, I have said a happy event today, and I also have a happy event here." ”

Lao Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What's the happy event?" ”

"I've got a good thing lately!" Zhao Yan said softly.

"Really? What's the good thing? Lao Chen seemed to be even happier than Zhao Yan, and asked loudly.

"Oh? There are good things to share! Lin Feng was also interested, what good things could happen to this strange person.

"It's a rare thing to see. Guess what? Zhao Yan's eyes widened, and the forehead lines came out, looking like he was hanging everyone's appetite.

Lao Chen smiled and said, "Me! It's just a flat-headed little person, and I haven't seen anything rare. However, I have something rare, and that is... That's my daughter. ”

The others were happy when they heard this, but they saw that Lao Chen loved his daughter very much.

"Hahaha..."Old Chen laughed.

"I'll guess! Is it jewelry jade? Or is it something Western? Bang Qin thought that these were the precious things, so he asked Zhao Yan.

Lin Feng shook it with a smile when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid Zhao Yan doesn't look down on any jewelry and jade. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan glanced at Lin Feng, "Oh? So guess what? ”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, "Isn't it a powerful cultivation technique or a ghost control magic weapon?" ”

Zhao Yan's eyes narrowed when he heard the words and he didn't speak, Lao Chen and Bang Qin both smiled when they heard the words, and Lao Chen said loudly: "Return the ghost magic weapon!" Where are the ghosts in this world? Didn't little brother Mo look at this guest officer like a Taoist priest? "Lao Chen glanced at Zhao Yan again, laughed and said, "It's not like it!" ”

Bang Qin shook his head lightly, and said softly: "This son really likes to joke, I believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but if there are really ghosts and gods in this world, I shouldn't look at our hard life now and ignore it, right?" ”

Lin Feng laughed, looked at Zhao Yan who was squinting, and said to the piano: "There are ghosts and gods, but you may not have heard a sentence called 'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs!'" ’”
