Chapter 14
Since that morning, Wang Daren gave Yang Twenty and each of them a padded jacket, and the following days were finally not so difficult.
Although he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to escape, Yang Twenty was getting better and better in this backyard day by day, since he learned to slap the horse a little bit, the boy can't be said to be prosperous, but every time he deals with the deliberate difficulties of those big and small stewards, he is more and more handy.
Today's teenagers, at least, can eat with these handymen after finishing their work every day, and they don't have to go to the firewood room to wait for Wang Daren to send him over, and sometimes they can add a little more rice to their bowls while serving rice to the backyard steward.
And he also found that this place was much bigger than what he had seen at first, there was a yard in front of their backyard, and then in front of the authentic frontyard building.
Yang Twenty, how did he know that this Fengyue Pavilion is the largest place in the entire Hanzhou City, not only there are more than ten of various Oirans, but also covers a very vast area, in addition to the current three-entry compound, there are many other courtyards that extend out on both sides, for those Oiran heads to live.
In addition, the long street in front of the gate was originally called Weiyang, and later because it was occupied by nearly half of the brothels of large and small green houses, it was simply renamed Fireworks Lane by the citizens, although the long street was changed to a smaller-sounding alley, but its prosperity is not inferior to the largest Chang'an Street in the city.
Therefore, this Fengyue Building, which is advancing day by day, is even more unique and dominant.
So that the old bustards of all sizes are busy every day, and Yang Twenty is often forgotten in this corner of the backyard by the turtle manager who beat him, otherwise with the character of the turtle boy, the young man will never have such a comfortable and comfortable day as he is now.
If you want to say that there is still a green building in the entire fireworks alley that can compete with Fengyue Tower, it is the Yicui building opposite them.
Although the overall scale of Yicui Building is slightly inferior to that of Fengyue Pavilion, the old bustard didn't know where to get a few women from the Western Regions two years ago, each skin is better than snow, high nose and blue eyes, and it is fresh.
Therefore, every twilight, there is a very spectacular scene of grabbing customers on the street in front of the Fengyue Pavilion and Yicui Building, so that many times, it is the two bustards who go out in person, stand in front of the door and scold loudly, which is called a spectacular.
Sometimes when the two parties quarrel and quarrel to the end, they almost forget to solicit customers, and it becomes a shrew war, which is really a great spectacle in Fireworks Alley.
At that time, I will not see the competition to see who has the loudest voice, who is more spicy, who is more spicy, and who is more spicy, and I will pull out all the Oiran of my own house, and stand in front of the door, comparing the appearance and temperament, and even worse, I will call all the miscellaneous servants to come out and stand behind, and compare whose family is more powerful, in short, no one will obey anyone, and want to overshadow the other party.
In the evening of this day, Yang Twenty had just been busy for a while, when he saw a foreman of the fish man in the front yard running over in a hurry and shouting: "The boss lady is crazy again, everyone take the guys to the front yard and hurry to the front yard to fight with the Yicui Building opposite." ”
Said to bring the guys, in fact, it is a kitchen knife, spoon, rolling pin and other kitchen utensils, of course, not really to cut the opposite girl, shouting and cheering, there must be a little momentum, when the time comes, the kitchen knife to the top of the head, even if it can't scare the other party, you can always give yourself a momentum.
Yang Twenty also planned to follow to see what was going on, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Wang Daren and said that children should not go there.
The boy had no choice but to give up.
However, he had an idea, and quickly ran to the kitchen where no one was, quickly tore off a chicken leg, wrapped it in oiled paper, and ran back to the firewood room.
Ning Baixue was in a daze in the firewood room alone, but Yang Twenty ran back in a panic, thinking that he had caused some trouble and was going to be beaten, so she asked eagerly: "What's wrong Yang Twenty, is that bad guy coming to beat you again, don't worry, I will help you get beaten." ”
Yang Twenty didn't expect Ning Baixue to say such a thing, and while he was grateful, he was also stunned for a moment, then took out the chicken leg wrapped in oil paper from his arms, handed it to the girl and whispered: "No one beats me now, you hurry up and eat this chicken leg, it's still hot." ”
The girl looked surprised: "Where did you get the chicken legs, have you eaten them?"
Yang Twenty pretended to reply and said, "I eat very well every day now, this is specially brought for you to eat, you are about to eat it, I am going to go out to work." ”
After saying that, the boy hurried out.
After going out, the young man couldn't help but sniff the residual scent of chicken legs in his arms, and his face was full of intoxication.
As for the "good food" in his mouth, it can only be regarded as full food, but he is already very content.
Then he continued to sweep the floor and wash the dishes, and from time to time he could hear the earth-shattering shouting and scolding on the street in front of him, which sounded worse than the quarrel between Aunt Zhang, a famous fierce woman in their village when he was a child.
It was another tiring day, and when Yang Twenty returned to the firewood room to rest in the evening, Ning Baixue also came over and sat beside him.
Teenagers are used to it.
Because they have to sleep with their backs together every night, although each wears a padded jacket given by Wang Daren, they still need to warm each other on a cold winter night.
What Yang didn't expect was that the girl actually left him half of the chicken legs!!
Could it be that she found out when she secretly swallowed saliva?
The girl also took out half a tightly wrapped chicken leg from her arms, and there was a trace of temperature, Yang Twenty knew that it must have been held in her arms by the girl all the time, so as not to let it be completely cold.
Perhaps, this is the best appearance of two young and ignorant children's childhood sweethearts.
Winter goes to spring, and everything is reborn.
The boy and the girl survived the cold winter.
Later, the boy finally knew why Uncle Wang didn't let him go with him every time he quarreled in front of him, it turned out that this place was the Qinglou brothel that the master talked about at that time, a pickled place, and it was not suitable for children.
His cleverness and diligence have slowly gained some appreciation from the little steward in the backyard.
Once, in the evening, the door was opened to clean up the garbage, and the steward asked him to go out and splash a bucket of dirty water, there was only Yang Twenty one person outside the door at that time, if he wanted to escape at that time, it was almost easy, as long as he ran out of the alley outside the back door and got into the crowd on the street, Yang Twenty was confident that with his running speed, as long as he no longer threw himself into the net this time, no one would be able to catch up with him.
But he thought about the girl in the firewood room who had been with him for almost half a year, and finally walked back without hesitation.
He had promised her that he would take her out of here.
The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and thousands of green silk ribbons hang down.
In the afternoon of this day, Yang Twenty was fetching water, and a catkins fell into the bucket, he looked up at the green willow in the yard, and remembered a beautiful sentence he had recited in the Book of Poetry: "In the past, I was in the past, and the willows were still in the past."
At the beginning, his mother told him that this poem "Cai Wei" was written about a husband who went on an expedition and missed his hometown and relatives on the way back.
The boy couldn't help but think of himself!
The husband was at least on his way home safely and would soon be able to reunite with his family.
But what about him?
His only loved one has left him forever, and now he doesn't even have a home.
At this time, a few orioles landed on the willow branches and flew away in a hurry.
The miserable young man sighed, thinking that he was not even as good as these birds now, they could still fly with his parents, brothers and sisters, and be free, but when would he be able to escape from here, practice peerless martial arts, and avenge his mother!
Unconsciously, it was dusk again, and the little housekeeper in the backyard opened the back door and asked Yang Twenty to help clean up the garbage, which was now his job, and many things that were too dirty, no one wanted to get dirty clothes, so they could only fall on his head.
The boy had no complaints.
He now knew exactly who he was in this small courtyard.
Carrying baskets and buckets again and again, dumping garbage in the ditch outside, the backyard steward stood at the door, holding the door lock in his hand, watching Yang Twenty work tirelessly, his eyes were full of satisfaction, he had decided to add more meat to this kid's meal from now on, so that he could have more strength and do more work!
At this moment, the foreman of the fish man in the front yard hurriedly ran over again and shouted: "Everyone copy the guys, the turtle woman of Yicuilou has the upper hand today." ”
Then there was a crackling movement, and as usual, all the backyard handymen ran to the front yard with "guys" in their hands to shout and cheer.
In fact, every once in a while to go to the door of the building, how can it not be the good wishes of these low-level miscellaneous servants, put it in ordinary times, not to mention seeing the building Oiran who is raised in the boudoir every day, even the two women who solicit customers in front of the door are rare to see, as for letting them walk in from the gate of Fengyue Building and go to have a happy night, but if they have a family and a room, at least they have to eat or drink and spend several years of savings to put on a generous hand, let alone have extravagant hopes.
At this time, I ran over, and I was able to witness the shocking scene of nearly 20 Oiran in the two Qinglou at close range, as well as those Qinglou women who were eager to untie their clothes and compete with each other's opponents for the size of their breasts, who was not excited!
So these backyard handymen who are weak to do their work, now one by one is more sluggish than the other, and they can stand in a good position with a wide field of vision if they go a little earlier, scrambling to be the first, who wants to fall behind others in this kind of thing!
Including the little housekeeper in the backyard who had been standing at the door, where could he care about anything else at this time, he actually threw the backdoor key and chain in the hands of the young man and ran out by himself.
He also shouted to the teenager standing at the door as he ran, "After cleaning up the garbage, remember to lock the back door." ”
As a result, at this time, there was only Yang Twenty with a sluggish face and a back door key in his hand in the entire courtyard.
The boy looked down at the key in his hand, which was still shaking and he couldn't get his hands even if he tried his best, and then looked up at the door that was still open, and swallowed involuntarily.
It seemed to be a bit like a daydreaming teenager, shook his head fiercely, took a long breath, and immediately ran to the firewood room.
