Chapter 19: Upstairs in the Clouds and Rain

The rain was still pouring down.

After seeing Bai Xiaobai's red paper umbrella disappear into the crowd, Hook closed the door of the store and went out with Gu Bai.

While walking across the stone bridge, they met Grandma Yu, who was preparing to close the stall.

Gu Bai helped the leader and carried the bucket back to Grandma Yu's house.

At the door of Grandma Yu's house, you can see cats everywhere, all kinds of cats, jumping up and down from time to time.

After coming out of Grandma Yu's house, Gu Bai and the others walked towards Yunyu Tower.

Yunyulou is on West Street, and they need to walk to the street where the county government is located, and then turn west.

"Shopkeeper, you've missed a great opportunity to live a long life. ”

The hook that jumped from time to time looked back at Gu Bai and said.

"What chance of longevity?" Gu Bai was inexplicable.

"Borrow Shou Wow. ”

Hook stood and waited for Gu Bai.

"Look at the look in your eyes, if you promise to be with her, she will definitely lend you her life. ”

"Go, is this kind of person?"

Gu Bai stopped and bought a few oil pancakes at a pastry shop passing by.

He and the hook were one by one, walking and eating in the rain.

When the shop lights were on on the road, Gu Bai and the others arrived at the Yanyu Building.

The business of Yanyulou is not much less because of the rain, and the guests are in groups of three or five, which are like weaving, and they enter Yunyulou in the greeting.

Gu Bai muttered in his heart and stopped.

"What, Childe, are you scared?" Hook gloated beside him.

"Jokes, you and I are not afraid, I will be afraid of them?"

Gu Bai pushed back with a word.

"I was just worried that I wouldn't come out in one piece. ”

"That's a green building, not a tiger's den, can they still eat you?"

The hook doesn't get it.

Gu Bai sighed, "You don't understand, this son is different from you, they can really eat me." ”

However, it had to go in.

So, Gu Bai messed up his neat clothes, untied the rope that tied his hair, and covered half of his face after the rain.

After these preparations were made, he walked towards Yunyu Tower with a hook.

Gu Bai's dress is still a bit useful.

The dusty women who greeted the guests saw that he was dressed in cloth clothes and was messy, and they didn't want to pay attention to him.

However, there was also a grandmother who greeted the guests in front of the door.

Grandma was also a man when she was young, and now although she is old and has taken a back seat, her vision is still there.

Her eyes glanced at Gu Bai, and they immediately glowed.

The hook assured her ugliness that the light coming out of her grandmother's eyes was brighter than the candlelight hanging in front of the building.

"Oh, Childe, please, please, please. ”

Grandma ran over in three steps and two steps, and came to pull Gu Bai as she spoke.

Although the hook is reluctant, it still has to be blocked, who made her a servant.

"Ahem, let me tell you, our son doesn't have much silver. ”

She felt that this excuse was enough to make her grandmother's favor of Gu Bai drop by three points.

Gu Bai collapsed his shoulders, probed his chest, lowered his head, and was only responsible for reducing his temperament.

"Haha, haha. ”

Grandma laughed, there was no hook in her eyes at all, "Please go inside first, how can you let your son break the bank." ”

She bypassed the hook and pulled Gu Bai inside, "If the son is poor, I still have two bad money in my hand..."

Hook was dumbfounded.

Mother, she really doesn't understand the world of looking at faces, she can really eat it as a meal.

Gu Bai was also helpless, he couldn't imagine that this would not stop his temperament, hey, he was still too handsome.

When the girl in the green building saw her grandmother pulling one person in, she couldn't stop being curious, or wanted to come over to have a look, so she all gathered around.

"Go, go. ”

Grandma waved and let them go, which was reserved for herself.

This also saved Gu Bai trouble, so he didn't struggle much and led the hook into Yunyu Tower together.

Grandma led them into a room.

As soon as Gu Bai sat down, Grandma was about to lean over.

The hook blocked him in time.

"Oops!"

Grandma was taken aback.

Only then did she see the appearance of the hook, and the whole person was much more sober.

Gu Bai hurriedly spoke, "Please ask grandma to invite the mouse girl out." ”

The hook took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and handed it to his grandmother.

Grandma subconsciously took it, "Oh, Childe, what do you want the mouse to do, she is the ugliest girl we have here, why don't Grandma bring the Chuyun girl in our building, and we will serve you together?"

Gu Bai hurriedly stopped her, "Don't, let's get down to business first, it's important to get down to business." ”

"Yo. Grandma smiled stupidly, "Isn't this the most correct thing to do when you go to our Yunyu Tower?"

The hook can see that she is very greedy for the white body.

"Mouse girl, a tael of silver. The hook was in her ear.

"Mouse...", the obsessive grandmother came to her senses, "a tael of silver?"

Seeing them nodding, Grandma was a little regretful, but it was fleeting,

She laughed, her face falling with powder, "Nacheng, you guys do that business first, and then we'll talk about this business." ”

She twisted and went out.

"Talk about your uncle. Gu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to the hook: "Sometimes it's not good to be too handsome. ”

The hook rolls its eyes.

Soon there was movement outside the door.

"Oh, grandma, who is it that makes you so concerned. A coquettish voice said.

"You'll find out when you go in. Remember, you are only allowed to do the business of picking up the star building, and you are not allowed to do anything else. Grandma warned him.

"If I want to do it, people have to be willing. ”

The coquettish man said, pushing the door open.

"Ahh

As soon as Grandma closed the door, she heard a mouse girl screaming.

I don't know if I was shocked because I was ugly or because I was handsome.

After a few moments, the Rat Girl fell silent.

She stared at Gu Bai, "I've seen a suave nobleman, but I've never seen you so handsome." ”

However, her eyes were clear, and she obviously knew that Gu Bai would not do anything to find her.

She looked at the hook again, "Thank you for giving me the confidence to stay in the Qinglou." ”

"Your uncle!" the hook snapped his middle finger angrily.

The rat girl cocked her legs, "Say, who do you want to steal, rob, or kill?"

She glanced at the hook, "For your sake, I'm in charge, and you'll be charged 20% less silver." ”

The hook then withdrew the middle finger.

Gu Bai looked at her strangely, "You are the Star Picking Tower?"

He thought that there was another mystery in the building.

"I am a star picker, others are also a star picker, anywhere can be a star picker. The mouse girl smiled mysteriously.

"Then you're in the Smoke and Rain Building... Also picking up customers?"

"Of course. However, you can also see my appearance, I have to starve to death by picking up customers, so I have to work part-time. ”

Gu Bai and Hook glanced at each other.

Is that okay?

"Childe, you see that the mouse girls are working so hard, what excuse do you have for not working hard?"

"Go aside. ”

Gu Bai ignored her.

He looked at the mouse girl, "Do you recognize the flying mouse?"

"The Flying Thieves are all here to take over the work, of course I know, what's wrong?"

The rat girl looked at Gu Bai warily, "Are you from the government?"

Without waiting for Gu Bai to answer, she denied it again.

"No, if you were from the government, you would have been sent to the bed of a rich and noble man by this time. ”

Gu Bai now has another reason not to be an official.
