Chapter 176: The Sound of the Piano

The cold wind blew on the face, and suddenly there was a faint sound of the piano in the lonely night, like a trickle of water, quiet and slightly sad. Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but stop, but when he looked up, he saw a signboard with a book, Hongxing Courtyard.

Such a charming and bewitching store name is afraid that it is the land of fireworks and willow lane, Lu Chengfeng thought about it so and walked in unconsciously, just because he smelled a trace of intoxicating wine in front of this door, strong but not dispersed, I am afraid that it is an old wine. The shop is not as noisy as expected, but it is rarely quiet. On the second floor, a pink silk curtain hangs, smooth as promised, with faint tassels, simple and elegant.

Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a woman sitting inside the curtain, and the sound of the piano came from it.

The guy in the store saw that there was a customer coming here late at night, so he greeted him immediately, but he didn't want to be startled by the other party's skull mask as soon as he got closer. Under the hard background of the light, the skull mask was faintly glowing with a layer of cold light, but it also added a bit of horror.

The guy stayed for a moment before whispering, "Guest officer, we don't do business today, you better go back!"

Lu Chengfeng turned his head and his eyes were horizontal, and the guy immediately felt a chill, but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, an old woman with red makeup twisted her bloated body and walked over. After a cursory look, she glanced at the guy beside her, scolded the idiot, and then invited Lu Chengfeng to sit down with a smile.

After he took his seat, the old bustard was about to call some girls to come and entertain, but Lu Chengfeng interrupted, "I only want the best wine in your store, and I will take as many ...... as you want."

After glancing at the Jiuqu Linglong ring on his finger and the weapon behind him, the old bustard immediately understood and ordered loudly, "First give this guest officer two altars of good red apricot wine......

Before leaving, the old bustard muttered angrily, "I don't want a girl to come to the brothel, I only care about drinking, what a drunkard......"

This wine is the best, as soon as it is opened, I was drunk by the aroma of this wine, but where can Lu Chengfeng still taste the sweetness of this wine at this moment, just pick up the wine jar and drink it.

The wine is mellow, the sound of the piano is leisurely, and when Lu Chengfeng was drunk and hazy, he unconsciously looked at the woman on the second floor. I don't know if he was drunk or dreaming, but what appeared in front of him was Shangguan Xing'er's figure. Lu Chengfeng leaned against the wall and smirked twice at the second floor, picked up the second jar of wine on the table and began to drink it again. He didn't know the rhythm, but he felt an insinuated sadness in the beautiful sound of the piano, which seemed to be very consistent with his current state of mind.

The breeze raised the curtain on the second floor, and Lu Chengfeng inadvertently glanced at it but saw a pair of slender but breathtaking Danfeng eyes, but with the feeling in his heart, Lu Chengfeng imagined that behind this curtain should be a beautiful woman who was out of the dust. It's just that the wind flashed away, and in a blink of an eye, the curtain returned to normal. Rao is like this, but Lu Chengfeng only looked up and drank, but he didn't take a second look. I just knew that I was out of wine, so I opened my mouth to ask for wine, and I didn't even have a superfluous word.

When the man yawned and brought out two more jars of wine, the sky was already dawning. All night, he didn't know how much he had drunk, and when he staggered out the door after paying, a deep sense of loss crept back into his heart. Although he was in the middle of the crowd, he didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement, and the streets and alleys were talking about the Demon Cult last night, and he didn't notice that a person with a skull mask passed by them.

After more than ten days, Lu Chengfeng spent every tossing and turning night in this red apricot courtyard. The guys and bustards in the store have long been surprised, after all, one more person can make more money by drinking here. It's just that those girls who are dressed up extremely charmingly will always rush over when he is drunk, and every now and then, Lu Chengfeng always gently puts the sword behind him on the table, and those girls can only stay aside and whisper.

Some people say that this person is not easy to provoke, and it is better to get closer to him in the future; more people do not think so, they think that the man who can come here every day must be a man of temperament, how can there be a person who does not eat meat and fish? There are also a very small number of people who are not afraid of death will still take advantage of Lu Chengfeng's unpreparedness to pounce, but Lu Chengfeng will inadvertently pull out half of the sword on the table, and then take it back. Since then, every time he comes back, no girl dares to approach, and only the shopkeeper will carefully bring the wine over.

And Lu Chengfeng will also glance at the second floor every time he is drunk and hazy, and then he will quietly listen to the melodious sound of the piano and drink one jar after another of fine wine. Day after day, Lu Chengfeng's raunchy appearance will always look particularly shabby in a group of people. The people who came and went in this red apricot courtyard were all powerful families in the town, and they would always show disdain when they saw a sloppy drunk sitting in this fragrant place.

But it was a particularly lively day, and all eyes were on the woman upstairs.

Listening to their staccato words and laughter, Lu Chengfeng seemed to understand something. It turned out that this room full of people came here late at night for one thing, that is, to see the true face of this woman's Lushan, and the price was the silver in their hands or some treasures that could amaze the world. Of course, the initiator of this is the smiling bustard on the second floor.

"I said, old bustard, when will you let me see the catkins girl!"

"yes, we've been waiting here all night, why don't we start?"

The impatience of the people downstairs made the old bustard's laughter more and more presumptuous, and she only heard her say loudly, "The willow girl has always been showing people with the sound of the piano when she comes to my red apricot courtyard, but in terms of appearance, she dares to guarantee that she is absolutely out of the dust, even if it is said that the Nine Heavens Fairy is down to the earth, it is not an exaggeration." If you don't show some sincerity, the old body won't let you see anything!"

These words made the men present and even some of the guys itching.

After a brief commotion, a middle-aged man with freckles on his face shouted, "I have 500,000 taels of silver tickets in my hand, if the willow girl is willing to let me see the beauty, the silver ticket will be presented immediately!"

"Silver tickets and other vulgar things dare to be used here to offer ugliness, I have an ancestral jade Ruyi here!

"I have a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum here, which can keep the catkins girl young forever......"

Everyone downstairs offered peerless treasures, and the old bustard was dazzled, and the smile on his face had reached the point of no return. Seeing that those people had already rushed upstairs like a tide, the old bustard hurriedly instructed the men to block the stairs on both sides, and then said with a smile, "You seem to be sincere, and I can't be too stingy with that old body!

Saying that, the old bustard smiled and walked slowly downstairs.

Looking at the treasure in the hands of everyone, the old bustard was like a cat seeing a fish, but it was difficult to choose between greed and greed. After seeing Yu Ruyi and wanting a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it was difficult to make a decision in my heart for a while. After a long time, she let out a long breath and said, "Well, since you are so kind, I will make an exception today to let Miss Catkins see three of you! When I have taken the treasure from your hands, you can go up and enter the curtain to talk to Miss Catkins on your own, and each meeting time is limited to half a pillar of incense!"
