Chapter 21: The Glory Years
Xiaoxue finally walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Du Shenfei patted the shoulder of the first wall and said, "Brother, you go out and have a look!"
The first over the wall immediately got up and said, "Okay!"
Before he could finish speaking, his people had already floated out like ghosts.
He didn't have to ask at all, because he knew what he was supposed to see. As a seasoned thief, he can see more than you think!
In the corridor on the second floor, although every few steps, a lantern is hung.
But there will still be a lot of places where the lights won't shine.
Xiaoxue was humming a little tune and walking down the hallway.
Her steps were brisk, as light as a bird.
She was also in a good mood, as good as a bird.
She was completely satisfied with what she had learned tonight.
She had been working at the song house for three years and eight months, but she had never been so satisfied as she is today.
So, before she reached the top of the stairs, she couldn't help but sing:
"To Brother in the breadbox, please raise your head.
A sister who is as beautiful as a flower wants her brother's heart.
Brother loves my sister, so please kiss my face.
Ah Mei, who has an excellent temperament, loves Ah Ge's money.
Brother loves Sister, Sister will go with you. ......”
There was also a lantern hanging in the staircase, but it was still relatively dark.
But it didn't matter if it was dark in the stairs, because Xiaoxue was already familiar with any place in this song house, and it would definitely not be difficult for her to walk down this staircase.
Because she's been working here for three years and eight months.
She is the oldest employee here.
She even felt like she could easily walk down this staircase with her eyes closed.
She was eager to try it and see if she could walk down the stairs with her eyes closed.
But she's never tried it before.
She didn't dare.
She was afraid that she would fall or even get hurt.
She couldn't afford the expensive medical bills.
Because of the pressure of life, she has been overwhelmed.
She had to work non-stop to get that paltry salary, to be able to afford the high rent, and to have a place to live in the city.
Only by working non-stop can she barely cope with the bottomless pit of living expenses.
So, she had never tried it before.
But now it was different, because she suddenly had a lot of money in her hands.
It's easy to get the money, too.
This money is enough for her to live comfortably for two or three months.
So, she decided to see if she could walk down the stairs with her eyes closed.
She was still singing softly the songs she had written.
She walked slowly because she had literally closed her eyes.
She felt that this was a bit inexplicable, but what did it matter?
After all, everyone has done a few inexplicable things in their lives.
Moreover, in this darkness, no one would notice her sudden inexplicability.
She could actually walk down with her eyes closed, because she was really familiar with the place.
However, she had just taken seven or eight steps when her body suddenly hit something.
Xiaoxue opened her eyes.
Then she immediately saw a face as white as a dead man, and eyes as black as a dead man.
Xiaoxue was so frightened that she couldn't even scream.
Her man went limp and sat down on the stairs.
A flash of light flashed, and soon a sword that curled like a black net of black snakes pressed against her eyebrows.
This man looked cold, like a sick ghost who had been bedridden for many years.
The blade of the sword is a thousand times colder than a human.
Xiaoxue still didn't make any sound.
Because in the three years and eight months she has been working here, she has never had such an experience.
I only heard a cold voice say slowly: "May I ask this beautiful woman with a beautiful temperament, do you have any private rooms here?"
After a long time, Xiaoxue finally came to her senses, and said as calmly as possible: "Yes." ”
The man said coldly, "It's good to have a private room! I want a private room." How much is a night?"
Xiaoxue hurriedly said, "Xiaofang...... It's eight pieces of silver...... The middle house is one or two dollars...... The big house is one or two and a half dollars...... The deluxe room is no longer ......"
The man said, "The big house is one or two or five dollars, and this price seems to be a bit expensive." I'm poor, for the sake of our first meeting, can you give a discount, let's say a 3 or 4 discount?"
Xiaoxue looked at this person in surprise in the darkness.
This man's face was whiter than paper.
This man's eye sockets were sunken, darker than the night.
Xiaoxue knew that this was exactly what Duan Hanyan said. Although she didn't know Duan Hanyan's name.
After a long time, Xiaoxue nodded.
She didn't dare not nod.
Even if the man had no intention of paying the bill, she decided to take him to find a large room.
Because she had to try to keep her head on her neck.
Only those who still have their heads on their necks can enjoy the happiness brought by the money in their hands.
So, she took this person and found a big room.
In this big room, the door number reads "212: Glory Days".
This big room is very good in size, and the orientation is also very good, and this size and orientation are exactly the size and direction that this sick ghost wants.
In this large room, looking through this door, you can completely see the door of the "231: Unforgettable Tonight" room.
As long as he could see the door, he was absolutely sure that the person inside was still in that room.
Because all the rooms in this song hall can only be entered and exited by one door.
Xiaoxue hasn't left yet, because she doesn't know if the sickly-looking man in front of her will let her go.
She was expecting the man to let her go.
The sick ghost was staring at Xiao Xue, and suddenly took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Xiao Xue, saying, "Here are five taels of silver, you don't have to look for it." ”
At this time, Xiaoxue seemed even more surprised.
Because this sentence was also said by Duan Hanyan.
She didn't know, how did this sick and dead-looking man know these words?
But she didn't want to ask, she just wanted to get out of this place quickly.
The sick man finally waved his hand and said, "You go! So tonight, it's better not to have a single person come in. Otherwise, my sword will cut off his head. ”
As soon as she heard this, Xiaoxue immediately rushed out.
She decided not to enter the door of the "212: Glory Days" room tonight.
From the second floor to the first floor, there are four staircases.
She decided not to take the hellish staircase again.
She chose the nearest staircase, intending to rush down as fast as she could, out of the hell darkness.
She ran fast. Even she had never run so fast.
With this kind of running speed, it wouldn't take long for her to reach the corridor on the first floor.
However, as soon as she reached the stairwell, she immediately felt her body hit something hard.
This thing is so hard, it's as hard as a piece of wood.
Xiaoxue's man has been knocked upside down and flew out.
In the stairwell of the Wangyin Song Pavilion, there will definitely be no wood in the way.
Xiaoxue's person fell heavily to the ground, and her heart immediately rushed to her throat.
She could have exclaimed.
But her exclamation was not uttered at all.
At that moment, she felt a sudden numbness in her neck, and then she couldn't make any sound.
Although he can't make a sound, his eyes can still see.
When she looked closely, she immediately saw a man in the faint light.
The man's face was dark, but his teeth were white, and his clothes were white.
An eerie and terrifying white.
It's as white as the impermanence from the underworld of the Yin Dynasty.
But the turban on his head was very red, bright red as blood.
An eerie and horrible red.
