Chapter 8: Deception

There's no one left, you come out. Xiaocui said.

I crawled out from under the bed, and Cui took my hand and sat down at the round table.

She looked at me and didn't say anything for a while.

I apologized and said, "I've caused trouble to the girl." I'll be gone in a moment.

Xiao Cui didn't seem to hear me, and asked: Are you really a Shaolin monk?

I said it was like a fake.

Xiao Cui turned to the candle and saw that the tears suddenly fell in large pieces.

I panicked, it was the first time I had seen a woman cry. I wanted to help her wipe her tears, but I never had the courage.

Xiaocui turned her head and asked me: Am I pretty?

I say pretty.

Xiaocui asked again: Do you like me?

I said yes.

Xiao Cui finally smiled.

She sighed and said, "I know you must want to ask why I came to this place."

I nodded.

She said: I am a native of Jiaozhuang, Pingdingshan, and I don't know who my biological father is since I was a child, and my mother never talks about it, because my mother gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and she has endured all the gossip and cynicism in the village. When I was seven years old, my mother died. I remember that she told me before she went that my father was a monk, and although she didn't love my father, she didn't hate my father anymore after having me.

Speaking of this, Xiao Cui paused, turned to me and smiled: The reason why I am willing to tell you this may be because you are monks like my father.

I didn't speak, I just felt that her background was a little pitiful.

She continued: "After my mother left, I had no one to rely on, so I had to beg everywhere, and then I begged in Xuchang and was taken in by my adoptive father. My adoptive father was a farmer, and he treated me very well, and although my family was poor, I did not suffer much in my adoptive father's house. Last month my adoptive father fell ill and I was scared, I was afraid that he would never be able to afford to be sick like my mother. I took him to the doctor, and the doctor said that it would take a lot of money to see his illness, but how could our family have any money. I begged the doctor to treat my adoptive father first, and I came out to earn money for him, and the doctor saw that my father and daughter were pitiful, so he agreed. Ten days ago, I passed by Yihong Mansion and begged my mother to take me in and let me sell myself here to make money. Every day I made money and the next morning I went to the doctor's house.

My heart was hot, and I asked how much silver was missing.

Xiao Cui bowed her head and said: There are still thirty taels missing.

And I took out of my bosom thirty taels of silver, and laid them before her.

I said that your father is a monk, and I am also a monk, and he owes you, and I will help him pay it back. Take the silver. Don't be in Yihong Mansion in the future. I didn't know what was sold here, so I was curious to come in and take a look, and now I know that this place is selling dignity. You shouldn't be here.

She pushed the silver away and muttered no...... No......

I said I had to go. I stood up and walked over to the window and pushed it open.

She said where are you going?

I said I didn't know where to go either.

She stopped talking, and said in a voice that was so small that she could barely hear it: If one day you really have nowhere to go, come to Dengjia Village, Dengzhuang Township to find me.

I turned around and asked, "Your adoptive father's surname is Deng?"

She said yes, my mother's surname was also Deng.

I jumped out of the window, and below there was an alley, and I followed it all the way to the city gate.

I wonder why there are always some poor people, so pitiful that you can't bear to face it, but the Buddha is calm.

After walking for half an hour, he went out of the city gate and came to a forest on the outskirts of the city.

I sat under a tree, looking up at the stars that were sparsely obscured by the leaves, and thinking about Xiao Cui.

Am I pretty?

I jumped up: Emily?

A woman came out from behind the tree, gorgeously dressed, with a delicate figure and a very beautiful face, she winked at me playfully, and said: My name is not Xiaocui, my name is Sakura Ling.

It turned out to be Miss Wudang.

Disappointed, I sat down again.

She walked up to me, crouched down, smiled and asked me, "Do you like me?"

I snorted and said, "So you like to eavesdrop."

She laughs: "I don't just like eavesdropping, I like to peek. I saw a monk walking around the Qinglou, afraid of being caught and hiding under someone's bed.

I was surprised: ...... you Did you see anyone striking the gong?

She pointed her finger at herself and said, "I'm the one who strikes the gong and shouts that everyone is watching."

With that, she put her hands on her cheeks and stared at me with wide eyes.

I was so angry that I stood up, turned around and wanted to leave.

She also stood up, grabbed me, and said, "You fool, where do you want to go?"

I shook off her hand and asked her: Who is the fool?

She pretended to shake her head and said: Whoever is cheated of thirty taels of silver is a fool.

I sneered: I am jealous of the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Unexpectedly, after she "snorted", she said: Am I a villain, is she a gentleman, why don't you go and see it now and then draw conclusions. Are you afraid to go?

I said, why don't you dare to go? If Xiaocui is not a liar, do you dare to admit that you are a villain?

Sakura Ling looked at me contemptuously and said, why don't you dare?

We came to the back of the Yihong Building and stood under the window where I jumped.

Sakura Ling made a gesture to me not to speak, jumped lightly on herself, landed lightly on the edge of the window, listened with her ear to the window for a while, and then jumped down again.

She came up and said, "Go up and listen."

I whispered: I won't do it lightly.

She nodded, grabbed me by the collar, and jumped again. I flew like a cloud.

We fell to the window edge together. I cling to it. Xiao Cui's voice came from inside.

The reason why I want to talk to you about this is probably because you are lamas like my father...... Every day I made money and the next morning I went to the doctor's house.

A man's voice came from inside: How much silver is missing?

Xiaocui said: There is still a shortage of eighty taels.

The man said, "As long as you serve me well, the eighty taels of silver are all yours."

Then came the sound of loose clothes and unties, and the voice of me and me came from the window.

I was dumbfounded, dumbfounded.

Sakura blushed and whispered to me, "When are you going to hear it?"

I refused to go, clinging to the window.

Sakura Ling took out a gong from behind him and struck it vigorously, shouting as he knocked: Lama prostitute, everyone come and see!

I sat down under the tree in frustration, Sakura still squatting in front of me, her hands on her cheeks.

Ying Ling said: You, you have little experience in the rivers and lakes, and you don't know if you have been on the road since you entered the door.

I looked up and asked, "What?"

She said: You smell the fragrance on her, right? When a man smells it, he will be confused and don't know what his surname is. Girls who solicit customers in Qinglou often use this incense. How can a normal girl have such a fragrance? You come and smell me.

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and stretched it out in front of me, and I sniffed it, and sure enough, it was just a faint fragrance.

She retracted her arm, looked at me disdainfully, and said, "You still don't believe her to be a liar." From the first time I saw you in the restaurant, I knew you were a fool.

I asked Sakura: Why do you keep following me?

She pouted and said, "Who wants to follow you, I just think you're a monk." cut off someone's sword, and went to help others renew the sword, it's inexplicable. For example, if I break your leg now, and then help you connect it, you will definitely say that I have a brain problem, right?

I said it was for a reason.

She hurriedly said, "Why, why, you broke their swords because they wanted to blind you, and they wanted to blind you because you were staring at me." In the end, this cause is still your cause. By the way, why do you keep staring at me in the restaurant?

I said you're good-looking.

Sakura Ling sneered: She looks as good as Xiao Cui, right?

I thought this girl was so rude and choking that I couldn't continue to talk to her. So he got up, turned around and left.

Who knew she followed.

I said to her: The fourth son of Wudang is looking for you. You'd better go back to Wudang.

She pouted and said: Those four bastards are nothing funny, especially Changchunzi, who is always courteous to me, and I hate the little white face of sycophants the most. It's even less fun to go back to Wudang, facing a group of Taoist priests all day long. It's still fun for you, a monk, who doesn't shave your head and eats fish, loves to fight and visit Qinglou, I'll still follow you.

I was about to say no, when suddenly a group of masked men appeared in the woods in front of me.

Among them was a man with a tiger's back, nine feet tall, who held a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and looked very scary.

But I heard him say, "I opened this mountain, and I planted the tree." I want to fall in love here and stay to buy road money.
