Chapter 43: The End of the World (4)
Long Tianxiang was a little surprised, and couldn't help but wonder: "How dare Sister Bao do this?"
Zhang Xinyu didn't understand what he meant, and said, "Why don't you dare?"
"That person knows martial arts, and he knows that it was Sister Bao's secret, what should I do if I come to retaliate?" Long Tianxiang explained.
Zhang Xinyu smiled and said, "There are always people behind the Qinglou business, you know?"
Of course, Long Tianxiang didn't know, so he could only say "ah".
"These people who support them are either rich businessmen or underworld forces, because a business like Qinglou can't be put on the table after all, and Pang Ya's regulations don't protect the Qinglou business, so there is no backstage Qinglou, either people are dug up by other Qinglou, or they are squeezed by the underworld and eventually go out of business.
And the reason why the Qingyulou opened by the mother can survive without relying on any force is that in addition to the good reputation of the mother and the willingness of the women in distress to come here, the more important thing is that the sisters who are red women are comfortable serving those underworlds.
Coupled with the sister who came out of Qingyulou and entered the palace as a musician, Qingyulou's relationship network is very deep. It should be said that the man did not dare to retaliate. ”
Long Tianxiang was an eye-opener, he didn't expect Qingyulou to be such an existence, and he was also interested in this spicy and beautiful, kind-hearted, and daring Bao Hong. I couldn't help asking, "Is Sister Bao in the same Qinglou as Sister Zhang?"
"Yes. ”
"Have you always been a red girl?"
"No, I heard my mother say that she was originally only an artist, thinking of being good after redeeming herself, but once a guest took a fancy to her, and insisted that she serve the night, she was depressed for a while, and then became a red man. ”
Long Tianxiang sighed with emotion: "It turns out that Sister Bao is not easy. ”
"yes. And Yiqing doesn't like you very much. ”
"Well, I guess so. ”
Zhang Xinyu said: "Don't blame her. There's a reason why she's like that. Her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and his father was the only one to take care of her. But her father saw that he lost his wife and only got a girl, and he didn't want to see her in his heart.
And her father is also good at wine and lust, lingering in the tavern Qinglou. In the end, the family went bankrupt, so she was sold to Qingyulou. But she looked down on the work of a prostitute, even if she was only a cleanman. Originally, if I didn't want to, my mother would never accept it.
But because she was disobedient, her father always beat her and wanted her to comply. The mother saw that Yiqing was covered with scars, and finally agreed. So she practiced hard and waited for revenge on her father after entering the palace as a musician in the future.
At the same time, because of this, she hates people who come to the Qinglou to consume. In her opinion, you are simply more than the person who comes to consume directly, so she targets you like that. ”
Long Tianxiang listened to Wang Yiqing's ridicule of himself for such a profound reason, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, and said in his mouth: "I didn't expect everyone to have such a story, this is really ......" Long Tianxiang still has little reading after all, and he couldn't find the right words to express his feelings for a while.
Zhang Xinyu understood what Long Tianxiang meant, and answered: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet, right?"
Looking at each other, both of them had a feeling of heart-to-heart. Zhang Xinyu suddenly said: "Actually, the first time I saw you, I felt that you and I seemed to be the kind of people who had experienced too much unsatisfactory and hid their hearts deeply, so you would ignore me and Sister Bao's contempt for you." Now that I've said so much, you can tell me your story. ”
My story?Long Tianxiang muttered in his heart.
Long Tianxiang is by no means a person who is willing to open his heart to others, through Zhang Xinyu's narration, after learning the stories of the people in the Qingyu Building, he suddenly found that there are so many people in this world who have experienced hardship. And they have not closed themselves off like themselves, but they are still living in a colorful way.
The mentality that had been numb for a long time suddenly changed, and he seemed to have found a sense of belonging in the Qingyu Building. For the first time, a slight desire to confide rose in him, and he did not feel any discomfort.
But he thought about it for a while, and still said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, it is nothing more than being cold and starving." ”
"Haha, there's nothing to say about being cold and starving. Let's talk about the worst time you've been cold and starved. ”
Long Tianxiang thought about it, and was really impressed once, so he said: "I was originally in the orphanage, and the people in charge of the food there used to withhold the food of the orphans, and there was a person, well, who had an opinion on him to withhold the food, so he intimidated him not to let him do it." The man in charge of the grain not only did not think so, but became furious, and gave the children very little food for several days. The ...... who intimidated him"
Zhang Xinyu suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Is that intimidation of him called Black Eyes?"
"How do you know?"
"I've been around town all the time, and I've seen him a few times. I have also heard about his reputation from others. You go on to say. ”
Long Tianxiang said: "We are all hungry, and ordinary orphans can only endure it, but the black-eyed group wants us to give them all the remaining food on the grounds that they are full to teach that person a lesson." ”
"What if you don't give it?"
"If they don't give it, they will threaten it, and if they don't give it, they will beat it. I can't beat it, and I can only give it to them. So I didn't eat anything for a few days.
That day, at night, I couldn't sleep when I was hungry, so I went to the city and tried my luck. It seems to be near the Qingyu Tower, I saw someone vomit a lot of things and left.
So I went and ate what I vomited out of the ground. Originally, I thought that I was so hungry that even other people's vomits would taste delicious, but I didn't expect the taste to be really unbearable, so I vomited it three times before I ate it.
Because I vomited too many times and didn't sleep well for several days, I seemed to faint. But I don't know why I woke up in an orphanage. Then I had a high fever, all over my body was uncomfortable, I thought I couldn't resist this illness, but maybe it was my life, although I didn't take medicine, the fever finally went away little by little. ”
"That's right, my mother said a few years ago that she saw a fainted child in front of the door and sent her to an orphanage. It looks like it's you. Zhang Xinyu said.
"Oh, it turns out that Sister Zhang was kind to me a long time ago, so I'm really ......" He remembered the lie he casually told Mrs. Li, but he didn't want it to be the truth. It's amazing how the world is.
Zhang Xinyu asked again: "Did the black eye fulfill his promise later?"
"Hmm. Then the man did not dare to withhold the food of the orphans. ”
"That black-eyed guy is okay. Zhang Xinyu said.
Long Tianxiang said lightly: "I'd rather find a way to solve the problem of food and clothing by myself than be at his mercy." ”
"Well, that's true. ”
The conversation ended here for the time being, and the two of them were speechless for a while.
After walking around again, Zhang Xinyu said: "I've been here long enough, do you want to go to the Magician Uniform Center to have a look? ”
Long Tianxiang thought of the many gold coins in his arms, and his heart moved, so he said, "Okay." ”
