Chapter 7 The Second Watch

He wakes up earlier than a chicken, sleeps later than a ghost, is tired like a dog, and eats like a piece of.

The above is Wang Xu's evaluation of his current living situation......

Although the bustard said that he wanted Wang Xu to be a male prostitute to pay off his debts, but in fact, what he did was just a super low-level running hall, on the one hand, there are very few people who love to play with Longyang in these years, and on the other hand, even if he is a duck, he will not recruit a guy like Wang Xu who looks very thin.

Therefore, Wang Xu could only rely on his own labor to pay off the overlord meal.

However, how much debt does he owe to the bustard, how long will it take to pay off, it is a confused account, according to the logic of He Lao Bustard, Wang Xu eats her (leftovers) and drinks her (leftovers) every day, and lives in her drunken star building (firewood room), which is all resource consumption, while generating labor value, Wang Xu's debt is also increasing invisibly, this comes and goes, and I don't know that the year of the monkey can only pay back the overlord meal.

Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh in private: "This old woman is darker than the cat master......"

As the saying goes, you can't blame your parents for your hard life, and you can't blame the society for your luck. Wang Xu didn't want to run away, because he really had nowhere to go, even if he was a turtle slave who served tea and water and made the bed and folded quilts, he could still provide him with a mouthful of food, so he really went with the flow.

…………

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the weather is cold and frozen, the snow is falling, some people are busy sacrificing their ancestors, and some people are drinking Laba porridge at home to make tonic, but there is still a group of people who like to come to the flower street to visit the kiln.

Wang Xu has been in the Drunken Star Tower for a month, and during this month, he has discovered a situation, that is, Yan Li has been secretly spying on him, or rather, Yan Li is actually monitoring all the people who have surveillance value, and this kind of dignitaries and dignitaries are as many as cattle in the Drunken Star Tower......

According to Wang Xu's preliminary analysis, Yan Li in this world should be a female spy of an intelligence agency, and the organization and government she belongs to are on the opposite side, as for her mission, it is obvious that it is in the very special place of the brothel, to collect some intelligence that cannot be collected in other places.

Basically, every night, Wang Xu can see this heroine flying around on the roof, and when people are doing errands in the room, she goes to eavesdrop, and even uncovers the tiles to peek...... And those court officials, princes, kings and grandchildren are really cheap, and the big secrets that can't be told outside will leak out in this brothel, whether it's showing off, or the lack of people to talk to, in short, they are all listened to by the female spies on the roof.

You have to ask Wang Xu how to know so much? Quite simply, out of curiosity, he also did the same thing as Yanli......

In the past month, Yan Li wanted to kill Wang Xu more than once, but she repeatedly missed, this kid seems crazy, but in fact, he is better than a monkey, and he can save the day every time.

After a long time, she could only give up this plan for the time being, after all, Wang Xu had not made any unfavorable moves against her.

This night, Yan Li still came to the Star Pavilion on the highest floor of the Drunken Star Tower, and at this time of every night, whether it is those scholars who are elegant and dignified, or the young masters of rich families, they will gather here very punctually to listen to the beautiful and artistic Yan'er girl sing a few songs.

But seeing her gently moving lotus steps from behind the curtain, although there was no smile on her face, her cat-like eyes had hooked the hearts of all men.

The oblique jade comb is half spit out, and the sandalwood board is tapped, singing a song of golden wisps.

The people listening to the music seemed to be stupid, even though Yan'er's singing had stopped abruptly, they still sat there in a daze, as if they were still intoxicated with the artistic conception just now. After a long time, only a few scholars came back to their senses, and then they naturally wanted to do their best to learn in their lives, and to praise the talented women, just to win a smile.

But Yan Li didn't smile, she hadn't laughed for a month, although she was just a perfunctory smirk a month ago, but this month, she couldn't even smile a smirk.

Just because of one person......

Wang Xu is dozing off on a pillar in the corner of this Wangxing Pavilion at the moment, since a month ago, he will appear in that position every day, before Yan Li appeared, he served tea and water, greeted guests, and was very busy, and as soon as Yan Li came out, it was very good, and this one rested.

His behavior was nothing, and the guests would not pay attention to him at all, and the little maid who accompanied him would not pay attention to him, and the other turtle slaves who ran the hall all looked at the swallow stupidly and drooled.

But Yan Li cares very much, this is a woman with strong self-esteem, even if she is in the Qinglou, she is also noble, arrogant, and cannot be ignored. Therefore, Wang Xu's behavior is undoubtedly an insult!

A month is long enough, enough to force a person to a situation where he can't bear it, so on this night, Yan Li finally couldn't help it.

At the second watch, when Wang Xu was lying on the firewood and falling asleep, someone pushed open the door of the firewood room.

This person is very light-footed, undoubtedly a master, she gradually approached Wang Xu, like a ghost in the night, without even breathing.

"I said, are you bothered? Come here every once in a while, I'll make it clear today, you can't kill me. Wang Xu still lay there without moving, not even opening his eyes, but listening to his tone, it didn't look like he was talking in a dream.

Yan Li stopped: "I have something to ask you tonight." ”

Wang Xu sighed, turned over and sat up: "Ask." ”

"Who are you?"

Wang Xu thought for a while: "Let's put it this way, I'm definitely not your enemy, can you rest assured?" ”

"How do you explain what happened a month ago, and how do you know my real name?"

"Hmm...... Eating the overlord meal is indeed real, as for what happened later...... Well...... Actually, I came from a far, far away place, in my hometown, there is a friend named Yanli, who looks very similar to you, I recognized the wrong person at that time. ”

"Do you think I'll believe that?"

"I want you to believe it, because that's what it is."

"Okay, then let's just say that what you say is the truth, and the last question, why did you deliberately go against me?!"

Wang Xu didn't understand this: "Where did I go against you......"

Yan Li's tone seemed reasonable: "When I sing in the Wangxing Pavilion every night, you doze off in the corner, but you are mocking my music is extremely boring and unbearable!" ”

Wang Xu immediately laughed when he heard this, looking at his appearance, he really had never encountered such a funny thing, "Oops...... Woman...... It's stupid. ”

Yan Li still had a straight face: "What's so funny?" ”

"All the men up and down the Drunken Star Tower, all of them regard your Yan'er girl as a fairy descending to earth, but you think they are all like mustard, but there is a running hall like me who doesn't look at you directly, but you are angry, you say it's ridiculous?"

Yan Li laughed angrily: "Huh...... You're right, I'm stupid, I shouldn't have asked you this at all, you're just a rice bucket, you don't know how to appreciate, and it's my gaffe to belittle yourself for such a person. She turned and left.

"Wait!" Wang Xu stopped her: "I don't know how to appreciate? He jumped off the pyre, picked up a few pieces of wood and threw them into the nearby stove.

The room gradually warmed up and brightened, Wang Xu closed the door and jumped back on his special seat (firewood pile): "Do you know what art is?" Art is to be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar! As a performer, do you still have the right to pick and choose your audience? If you can't conquer your audience standing up, just go lie down and conquer them, it will be much easier. ”

"You!" Yan Li's face turned red, but she was speechless, Wang Xu's rogue logic once again worked wonders.

Wang Xu cocked Erlang's legs: "I don't know how to appreciate? Then do you think those boys and brothers understand? Do I have to say everything so clearly and explicitly? ”

"Humph! Is there anything you can't say? "Yan Li asked this question very well, and the answer should be no......

Wang Xu said earnestly: "Hey...... I'll give you an example and you'll understand, let's say, you like me......"

"Phew! Who likes you anymore?! ”

Wang Xu slapped his forehead with a slap: "Okay...... Let's say, I like you......"

"Shameless...... Yan Li commented in a low voice, but it seemed that this assumption was more acceptable to her.

Wang Xu said impatiently: "Are you finished? Say you're fat and you're still panting? Are you still listening to me? ”

Yan Li snorted and stopped interrupting him.

So Wang Xu continued: "For example, I like you, and I desperately want to use your flesh to quench the burning fire in my heart. ”

With a "snap", Wang Xu was slapped in the face.

He sighed, "Okay...... In fact, it is not urgent to that extent, so let's describe it as a morning and a twilight thought, and it is difficult to sleep and eat......

So as a suitor, I have to get your attention, what can I do? Obviously, doing what you like is a good way, so I come to listen to you every night, no matter how you sing, anyway, I just praise you desperately, and those who read books also say a lot of nonsense, and the subtext in essence is: I am your number one fan girl, and I hope to be closer to you. ”

"Fans?"

"Hmm...... In the hometown dialect, it is the person who worships and loves you. ”

"You mean, it doesn't matter how well I sing, no matter what I do, they'll say yes?"

Wang Xu nodded: "That's right, those guys, on the surface, are very attentive to you, but in fact, their hearts are extremely dirty, and all their disguises are just to achieve their ulterior ultimate goals." ”

Yan Li bit her lip tightly: "Hmph...... Then you never look at my running hall, but you are a righteous gentleman, and your heart is like water? ”

"Winning the ......" Wang Xu is really ashamed.

"After saying so much, you just mean that I sing very badly, so you're too lazy to listen to it, right?"

"No, no, no." Wang Xu replied very sincerely: "I mean, your Yan'er's song is indeed good, but it is far less popular than you. ”

Yan Li's chest was obviously undulating, and she could only calm her mind by taking a deep breath, because she was a smart person, and she knew that this crazy running hall in front of her, which no one could look at, said all the truth.

Many things in this world are actually obvious, but whether to accept them or not is another matter......

The two were silent for a long time, but Yan Li spoke again: "I believe in you, you are not my enemy, maybe ...... We can also be friends. ”
