Chapter 32: Gusu (1)

The night was hazy, shrouded in water, covered with a thin veil, faintly lingering. Smoke gradually rose from the surface of the water, and it floated gently.

The cheeky man brought the boat to the shore, tied it to the weeping willow on the shore with a rope, and a bright moon sneaked out of the clouds, and the moon fell down, full of drunken mansions.

Qishuang handed over a piece of broken silver, and said lightly: "Boatman, thank you for your hard work!"

Dahan took it casually, put it in his purse, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to be polite! Everyone who has just come to Gusu Town, I don't know the rules of this Gusu Town, the fool reminds a few people, don't go out after midnight tonight!"

Yang Jingyu showed doubts on his face, looked at the big man and asked, "Oh, what do you mean by this?"

Dahan raised his head, looked at the moon gradually revealing in the sky, and said slowly: "As soon as the moon in Gusu shines, there will be blood splashed on the ground." โ€

"Bellโ€”"

On the high mountains in the distance, there were intermittent bells, and the bells sounded and shook people's eardrums.

The big man's face changed wildly, and he hurriedly packed up the two big fish on the boat and carried them, and hurriedly said: "Several, when this bell rings, it is to warn everyone that it's time to go home!"

Yang Jingyu looked up at the dock, and on the crowded street, the pedestrians suddenly became chaotic, only to see them in a hurry, hurried to the direction of home. The hawkers stopped shouting and quickly packed up their things and left, and the door of the shop was also sealed for a while, and the silk was impermeable.

After a while, the streets of the traffic were cool, and the doors were very lonely.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jingyu had a lot of doubts, so he bowed down and asked, "Boat family, isn't that demon suppressed under the temple, why is everyone so nervous?"

The big man looked flustered and uneasy, and hurriedly said, "A few of you come with me, talk as you go...... I'll take a few people to find an inn, remember what I said before, don't go out after the hour. โ€

The three of them glanced at each other, revealing a strong look of curiosity, and kept up with the pace of the big man.

The big man said as he spoke, using his fingers and urging: "Gusu is mainly divided into two streets, and the front is Yangliu Street, which is a place for shops and workshops, hawker markets, and people's activities. The back is called Xuanhua Street, which is an inn restaurant, a place where fireworks gather...... It's this backstreet we're going to. โ€

Yang Jingyu quickly followed the footsteps of the big man and said with a smile: "In this way, I thank the boatman for guiding the way for us." โ€

Dahan wiped his mouth and said honestly: "It's convenient for others, it's convenient for yourself!"

"Haha!"

Yang Jingyu took off the folding fan and asked Dahan, "Boatman, what the hell is going on?"

The big man's body trembled, his face was a little pale, and he pondered slightly: "Actually...... Although this Gusu Town has suppressed the demon, the death of people still happens...... Legend has it that the demon can use the power of the moonlight to kill people thousands of miles away...... However, this is just a folk shock. โ€

Yang Jingyu said: "Why don't the stewards of the Gusu Temple destroy it and never suffer in the future!"

When Dahan heard Yang Jingyu's words, his hurried body suddenly froze, he stopped, turned his head to look at Yang Jingyu, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be as deep as the sea.

After struggling for almost a long time, he said slowly, "No one can kill her...... A few, this matter will not be mentioned again, I see that a few are outsiders, kindly take you to find a place to stay, I hope you abide by the rules of this Gusu land, do not go out after the time...... Where there is moonlight, there is her shadow. โ€

In the last sentence, the big man seemed to be muttering to himself, and he seemed to be speaking to himself.

With that, he continued to move forward, without looking back at the three of them who were frozen on the ground.

Listening to the words that Dahan kept repeating, Yang Jingyu restrained his smile slightly, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, and the wind was blowing under his feet to catch up with Dahan's pace.

Clean stone pavement, simple but rows of houses, colorful lights in front of the door, and closed windows behind the door. On the deserted street, not a single tourist approached.

The moonlight on the ground is like a glass bead shining under the sun, and the weeping willows on both sides of the road stretch their waists slightly, snatching the small waists of thousands of girls!

Go around a few deep alleys, walk out of a few houses, and you can see Xuanhua Street. At this moment, although the gate of Xuanhua Street is closed, you can hear the singing of the singers of the restaurant who are complaining and admiring, crying and complaining, which teaches people to be sad. The gambling house is noisy, the pear blossoms and begonias in the spring courtyard, the warblers singing and dancing, the sound is heart-wrenching.

Stepping into Xuanhua Street, the air exudes a strong smell of perfume, mixed with the heartiness of soju, which makes people addicted.

A luxurious Qionglou is erected on both sides of the street, the eaves are hung with red lanterns, the center of the beam stands with a red gold silk sandalwood plaque, the auspicious lion boggling stone drum sits in front of the door, the eaves are slightly inclined to both sides of the street, and there is an ornamental platform upstairs. The house stretched out into the night.

The lights are dim, the moon is like water, and the streets are paved, and the smooth stone slabs reflect the light slightly.

A drunken man came out of nowhere, staggering, twisting his steps, and walked towards the four of them. He was dressed in a lot of purple brocade clothes, his hair bun was fixed with a hosta, and under the illumination of the night light, he was shining brightly, his face was round and fat, and his face was full of oil, and he looked like a rich son.

At this moment, he was drunk, his eyes were flushed, he was holding a jar of daughter red in his hand, humming rouge in his mouth, his mind was uncertain, and his expression was in a trance. Leaning left and right, staggering. When he saw the four of them, his eyes lifted up with difficulty, revealing a drunken smile after excessive alcohol, raised his hand to Qishuang Qilu, and muttered in his mouth: "Beauty, beauty......"

He thought that he had come to a brothel, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that these two girls were beautiful, like flowers, which was quite attractive. He dropped the flask, opened his hand, and threw himself at the two of them. I didn't know that this foot didn't listen to the call, so I turned around and pounced on the big man's body, pouted, touched the white belly of the fish, and kissed it.

The smell of fish is transmitted to the air, making it uncomfortable to smell.

What's more, kiss it with your mouth!

Qishuang Qilu was not angry, covered her mouth and smiled, thinking that this scene was extremely funny!

Seeing that his fish was almost caught by the man, the big man was at a loss, and he weighed left and right, he pulled the drunk man in front of him, shook his body, and said loudly: "This son, you are drunk!"

The man was stunned, pursed his lips with his tongue, sniffed with his nose, and when he opened his eyes, he was a little less drunk.

"I ...... Phew......"

The man lowered his head and spit a few mouthfuls of saliva in disgust, Fang Jue's fishy smell faded a little, before he stood up, burned with anger, and insulted the big man: "Where did you come from, the dog thing, you actually took a fish to fool Uncle Ben." โ€

As he spoke, he stretched out his fat right hand and slapped it on the big man's face.

The crisp sound of the palm sounded, and before the big man could explain, he was slapped to the ground by the drunk man, he covered half of his red and swollen face, and under the hat, a pair of vicissitudes of life suddenly shot out a cold light.

Yang Jingyu suddenly felt a chill in the air, soaked in his body, and felt a little uncomfortable. He swept the corners of his eyes slightly over the big man, revealing a strange look.

Qilu had never seen such an arrogant and unreasonable person, his feet moved, swept a gust of wind, kicked it away, and after landing, the man let out a pig-like scream, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Yang Jingyu helped the big man up with some doubts, and said softly: "Boatman, you have been wronged. โ€

The big man opened his mouth and smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, honest and upright, and shook his head and said: "The fool has rough skin and thick flesh, and it's okay to be slapped in the face, but that son is ......."

Qishuang said coldly: "Such a scum, life and death are up to him!"

"Alas!"

The big man showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and sighed: "He's just drunk, and I'm fine." โ€

With that, he stepped forward to investigate the drunken man's injuries, then bowed to his side, and without knowing what to say to the man, he touched all the silver on his body, and made amends and saluted, and the drunken man stood up, glared at Qilu fiercely, and staggered away.

Qilu was a little unwilling in her heart, and when she saw the big man coming back, she hurriedly said: "Uncle Boat, you didn't miss it, why did you give your hard-earned silver taels to that scum!"

"Hey, hey!"

With a hint of helplessness on his face, the big man took off the wine jug on his waist alone, poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "I am waiting for the poor, if I don't want people to come to the door in the future, I can only do this...... If the silver is gone, you can earn it again, this life is gone, but there is nothing!"

Qilu listened to it in a fog, and pouted slightly thinking about the meaning of this sentence, looking very cute.

Yang Jingyu nodded, paced and said softly: "Bullying can happen anywhere, but I pity the people living at the bottom, Shuang'er, take some silver taels out!"

Qishuang took out a silver ingot from the baggage, Yang Jingyu took it and handed it to Dahan, and said with a smile: "This matter started because of the three of us, and the boat family suffered such grievances, you can accept this silver tael, go back quickly, there is an inn here, so don't bother the Hakka!"

Dahan looked at the silver ingot in Yang Jingyu's hand and hesitated: "This ...... I can't ask for ......."

Yang Jingyu stuffed the silver two directly into the big man's hand, and said slightly: "Even if the three of me reward you, you can accept it!"

Dahan's eyes showed a look of emotion, he bowed to Yang Jingyu and the others, and said movingly: "Since this is the case, the fool will accept it, thank you for the gift of Gongzi and the two girls!"

Yang Jingyu smiled lightly, and his face seemed to have a natural intoxicating temperament, which made people feel indescribable when they saw it.

The big man put away the silver taels, clasped his fists and saluted, walked away quickly, and disappeared into the end of the street.

"Ahem......"

Facing the wind through the alley, Yang Jingyu stared at the back of the big man who was far away, and suddenly coughed, covered his chest, and a mouthful of blood overflowed the corners of his mouth.

"Childe ......"

Qishuang Qilu anxiously stepped forward to hold on.

Yang Jingyu raised his hand to stop the two, and said with a light smile: "I'm fine, I'll find an inn to stay in first." โ€

He wiped the blood with his handkerchief and walked to the right hand side in front of him called "Taibaiju Inn".

Stopping in front of the door, Yang Jingyu knocked on the door with a pair of hands, and after a few breaths, a delicate and lazy woman's voice came from inside, as if she was a little unhappy, and said softly: "Who knocked on the door at night, I don't know ...... full moon night."

The proprietress opened a crack in the door and looked, and before the reproachful words were finished, she saw a handsome and dashing young man standing outside the door, looking at her lightly.

The proprietress who had countless experiences was stunned, her eyes suddenly widened, flashing with a scorching light, and she looked at Yang Jingyu with a seductive smile. She has lived for more than 30 years, and she has never seen such a handsome man as Yang Jingyu, and at some point, two flushes have been printed on her face, and her breathing is much faster.

After a pause, she smiled coquettishly: "Ouch! It turned out to be a handsome guy, please come in, please come in!"

As she spoke, she pushed the door open, sideways to free up the space for the door, and led Yang Jingyu in. The clothes she wore were gorgeous and revealing, faintly revealing a bit of seductive desire, and the smell of intoxicating perfume wafted from her body, which made people want to look up at her a few more times.
