On the first floor of the boat building is an acrobatic performance and commercial area.

The performers of the former are concentrated at the main entrance and in the hall surrounded by several vermilion load-bearing pillars, including the color opera master who appeared in front of Lu Jing and Xu Chu at this time, as well as quite traditional items such as swallowing swords and picking beans by immortals.

It's just that unlike the similar artists that you usually see on the streets of the city, the people on the sea flower boat have obviously received professional training, and at this time, many people are clapping around them, and occasionally there are rewards thrown out, which attracts the small people waiting next to them to thank them repeatedly.

In the corridor on the periphery of the hall, there are stalls set up at intervals, on which are placed all kinds of objects, such as clothes, clocks, shoes and socks, and more peculiar are mechanical creations, such as monkeys that can beat cymbals by themselves when they wind up, and rabbits that can make their limbs move mechanically in the swirling steam by lighting a fire in their stomachs.

looked around, and finally returned to the color actor in front of him,

"I still have something to go upstairs, can you let me go?"

The color opera master in front of him didn't seem to see the expression of rejection on Lu Jing's face, and he performed some small tricks, making a flower for a while, and feeling a copper plate in Lu Jing's ear for a while, which was really unattractive to Lu Jing, who had an empty stomach and a mind full of the word "eating".

"Of course, have a great time. ”

As if he had just realized Lu Jing's impatience, he put away the bouquet in his hand, and the color actor bowed and calmly retreated to the side.

Lu Jing nodded and didn't say anything more, and took Xu Chu up the stairs next to him.

He didn't notice the sudden straightening of the actor's back when he looked at his back, the shriveled money bag tossed in his hand, and the narrow smile on his face.

Of course, the color drama master also didn't see the eye contact between Lu Jing and Xu Chu and the bulging money bag in Lu Jing's hand that he didn't know when.

If he saw it, it would probably look familiar.

"Do you want to inform the people on the boat, that guy is a thief...... The money bag we saw at the door was probably stolen by him!"

After walking to the top of the stairs and getting far enough away from the color actor, Xu Chu spoke.

That's right, the color actor was just using the so-called close-up magic as a cover and then touching money from Lu Jing, although Lu Jing didn't know if that guy saw himself coming or some other reason to target himself, but I have to admit that this guy's methods are quite good.

As an ordinary person, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to detect the disappearance of his money bag while his attention is attracted by his tricks.

Only this time he was on the wrong target.

Regardless of Lu Jing, a cultivator or a transcendent person, who was so keen on his surroundings that the color opera master stretched out his hand to the other party at the same time as he stretched out his hand to the money bag on his waist, Xu Xi, the old Jianghu, also sensed that something was wrong and secretly pulled the corner of Lu Jing's clothes to remind him.

Lu Jing was busy touching the thief's money bag at the time, and he didn't mean to debunk the latter on the spot...... It's really going to be dismantled, isn't this money bag in my hand gone now?

"Haha~ There's a lot of money here. ”

opened the money bag and counted, to say the least, there were 10 silver dollars, Lu Jing smiled and narrowed his eyes, and returned the favor in his own way, no better way to deal with it,

"Now you can report him, and let the people on the ship arrest that guy and get him back with the money he stole from us!"

"Understood!"

Xu Ju's approach to Lu Jing was naturally to raise his hands in favor, and the money earned for nothing should not be in vain.

I'm afraid I'll have to pay for tonight's expenses.

The second floor of the shipbuilding is a place to eat, but when Lu Jing ascended the stairs, he found that this was not the case, the decoration of the hall here was undoubtedly much more exquisite than the first floor, not only a few load-bearing pillars hung with decorative colored gauze curtains, the ceiling and the walls on all sides were painted with colorful pictures, Lu Jing took a few looks, and most of the content was a picture of women wearing light veils and holding musical instruments playing singing and dancing.

In fact, the same scene is being played out in the hall live, where a band is playing live music, and in front of them are several barefoot girls with good shapes stepping on the velvet carpet and dancing to the rhythm.

On the first floor, where shops were originally placed, low wooden tables and cushions have been replaced, and many customers are sitting cross-legged on them, enjoying the performance and eating their meals.

"This should be a place to eat, right?"

Lu Jing glanced at the empty tables around him, turned his head to ask Xu Yu beside him, and the latter, who was looking at the dancers in the hall, nodded busily.

The two found a place to sit down, and soon a maid came up with the menu to ask what to eat, Lu Jing didn't look at it and handed the menu to Xu Xu, who had just come back, and motioned him to order.

At this time, the performance in the hall was reaching its climax, the short drum beat, the gradually faster pipa with the movements of several girls shaking their shoulders and raising their legs, it was very good-looking, and Lu Jing, who had suffered from the erosion of capitalist extravagance in his previous life, also subconsciously nodded with the music, shook his legs and hummed lightly who couldn't keep up with the tune at all.

The other guests on the side were in a similar state to Lu Jing, only the couple on the right was very quiet, but it was not surprising to see the bulging belly under the woman's thick robe.

"I ordered five dishes plus two barbecues, a total of 230 copper plates, enough to eat, right?"

Xu Chu put down the menu and didn't rush to hand it out, but put it back in front of Lu Jing.

"Eat first, if it's not enough, just order it, anyway, we have extra income. ”

When Lu Jing said this, his eyes glanced to the side, and there was a pretty girl in a plain skirt coming over with a fruit bowl.

The white and tender cheeks are faintly flushed, under the delicate eyebrows are a pair of beautiful eyes full of water, and the black mole on the left corner of the mouth is even more charming.

The slender legs paused beside Lu Jing, half-kneeling, and the waist and the white greasy on his chest suddenly broke into Lu Jing's sight.

"Guest officer, you are the 50th guest tonight, and this is a fruit plate specially presented by our store. ”

The soft and glutinous voice made people can't help but upturn the corners of their mouths, but Lu Jing suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked down at the blade between his waist and abdomen, and asked,

"You also have a fruit knife with this fruit bowl?"

"Hmph, I can be regarded as catching you, you were quick before, since you are a peer, I won't say much, the money bag is still here, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat...... Don't move, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The girl used her body to block the surrounding vision, and lowered her voice to warn Xu Xu, who had already noticed something strange next to her.

"Ha~ It's really you, should I say that your cross-dressing skills are good...... Or are you also a false face?"

Smelling the faint fragrance coming from in front of him, Lu Jing glanced at the girl's face that was completely different from the color actor just now, twisted her waist without a trace, adjusted her posture, and put her left hand on the fruit plate.

Such a beautiful person, I'm afraid I'm going to cry for a long time when this plate goes down, right?

But just as he was about to deal with the thief who had sent him to the door, his figure was stunned, and he turned his brow to look at the three-tiered lotus lantern in the hall surrounded by load-bearing pillars.

Two slight pops.

The lights went out suddenly......
