Volume 1 Caged Bird Chapter 47 Blood and Flowers (20) The Most Beautiful and the Ugliest IV
When one of them stood up, holding a jade flute in her hand, she said, "Ninetieth, please give advice to my sisters." ”
After speaking, she took a deep breath and put the jade flute across her neck, and suddenly a clear spring was used in all directions:
Every year in the blue sea, try to ask who is the ice wheel for? Blowing a piece of autumn fragrance, the light is as clear as snow. Looking at it in sorrow, a good day and a good night, I know that it will be sad. Only the shadow is now, that is a heavy pair, the bright moon in the old days.
In the flower path, play hide and seek, once provoked Xiao Xiaojing Wuye. Remember whether to light the small fan, and a few times hot and cold,. only fell, filled with all feelings, always vast, not about parting. A purple jade is ruthless, and the night cold blows and cracks.
At the end of the song, everyone cheered loudly, flower petals fluttered, and the sisters applauded her.
Xia Ming shrugged his shoulders, he only had the difference between melodious and rough music, but he was at a loss for the content of the song, but he didn't forget to applaud with everyone.
The fat aunt still had her signature smile on her face, and her expression made it impossible for the women on the dance floor to guess, making her really nervous.
The fat aunt beckoned to her, signaling that she could step back and let the next girl play.
How the girls played, I won't go into more detail here. We only know that the girls' talents are very good, they can play music, write and dance, and their figures are also the best among people within a radius of 100 miles, with thin waists and long legs, eye-catching, it can be said that they are beautiful inside and out. But what is incomprehensible is that with their talents, why should they be mixed up in such a place where their souls are sold.
There is also a puzzling problem that the fat aunt's previous words clearly mean that the old sister competes with the new sister, but until the ninety-ninth girl appears, the so-called teaching, but no one has been seen.
At this time, the sound of the piano in the curtain stopped, and the cyan shadow commanded to the side, and immediately someone took the flute, flute, pen, book and other things, only to see that she moved gracefully, and imitated the skills of the ninetieth to ninety-eighth without mistake, and everyone just thought it sounded good, only the nine new sisters stood downstairs, and the faces under the masks showed shocked looks one by one. They were shocked in their hearts, and only they could hear and see that this sister's work had been re-enacted without error.
They had heard early that the sister was actually the owner of the night building, but wasn't this just pure bullying them, and although they felt unfair in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it.
After the last song of the woman, she knelt down again in front of the desk, and the waiter next to her took the instrument away, and she wrote it with a pen, so that a piece of paper could be passed down.
The fat aunt respectfully took the paper, looked at the contents on it, and the fat on her face was stacked.
"The most beautiful player tonight is." She paused for a moment, then said, "Ninety-nine." ”
The crowd at the table cheered louder, not to applaud who had won what title, but that there would be nine more delicious sisters here. Some veterans are even starting to get ready to move, they like this kind of girl who is still young, unlike the old fox who has been mixed up for a long time, rubbing up on you and digging up a lot of money on you.
Xia Ming sat on the outermost floor of the second floor, he took his eyes off the figure of the woman in the curtain, and turned to the nine people downstairs whose hair was dotted with flower petals, and whose bodies seemed to freeze. Faintly, he also found the clue that although their singing is beautiful, it is easy to be imitated by others, that is to say, what their performance lacks is the real core - the soul.
I only heard a sister who started with nine and asked unconvinced: "Why, even if we are not good at learning, but ninety-nine... She didn't do anything!"
The rest of the sisters at the beginning of the ninth also began to talk, yes, why?
The fat aunt looked at the curtain, and after getting the affirmation, she pointed out: "Although Ninety-Nine has done nothing, she is the most real Ninety-Nine, because she really can't do anything." ”
"The rule of the night tower is to sell your soul to us, but in fact, you have not sold your soul to us, because you have no soul at all. When she said this, the fat aunt swept the faces of those "old" people intentionally or unintentionally.
"Because you lack the soul of 'truth' in your songs, and only pursue the 'beauty' and 'pleasing of the form', everyone can easily imitate the music you play or the words you write, which is also something that many of your sisters do not know.
I'm going to tell you all the secrets today, because the landlord said that this kind of thing will never happen again. ”
She finally sighed.
Everyone didn't pay much attention to what she said, they had long been impatient with this fat woman, and she still came out to wander around like this, which was unappetizing. I don't know how she got into the night tower.
The fat aunt readjusted her mood and said, "Then next, please take off your masks to show that you are willing to sell your souls." ”
The nine people pressed their hands on the left mask at the same time, took off the left mask that had been divided, and hundreds of eyes wandered back and forth on half of the faces of the nine people at the same time.
Everyone let out a cry of amazement at this time, "Look, that's the ninety-nine girl."
So hundreds of eyes were focused on Ninety-Nine's face, but they suddenly showed disgusted expressions again, and some even laughed wildly.
I saw that Ninety-nine's face was wrinkled in many places, he was old, his skin was sallow, and his face was ugly. The dizzy landlord actually chose her to be the first beauty of the night, and the rest of the ninety began to laugh. Xia Ming was taken aback, and even Mu Siyu on the side was surprised.
The fat aunt didn't change her complexion, and continued: "Since you sold your soul to us, your previous name can no longer be used, and your name will be used according to your ranking, ninety-nine is now ninety, and the rest will be calculated later." ”
"Alright guys. The fat aunt raised her voice at this time, and those greasy tones filled people's ears, and she said, "But if any, let them be bought as soon as possible, while they are still complete girls, and if not, the guests will pay for which sister is willing to spend the spring with the guests."
The first beauty originally selected, the popularity is naturally the highest, and it will definitely be contested by the guests, but this time it is different, the dizzy landlord actually gave the title of "the first beauty tonight" to an old grandmother. Young people like the old grandma don't like them, but there are many elderly people in the building, so it depends on whether they have the ability to do it.
"Big brother, I think the previous one is ninety good, and the flute is also good, I don't think so..." Someone whispers to another for advice.
"Idiot. The man he questioned set the table and said, "Do you have any money?"
He wilted immediately.
"And you think they're really as glamorous as they say, and a fool will say they're not complete melons."
The man was taught so that he could not speak.
"Has anyone made a bid?"
"I, I, I.."
Xia Ming jumped up from his seat, and he shouted loudly, waving the younger sisters vigorously for fear that they would not notice.
From the ninety sisters in their hearts, they also heard before entering the building that if some people are willing to spend a lot of money to redeem them, they can live a good life for the rest of their lives.
"See, brothers. The person who taught the lesson just now pointed to Xia Ming upstairs, and taught his fox friends and dog friends and said, "People like this are stupid and have a lot of money, and most of them don't have tigresses at home."
The elder brothers nodded in a teachable manner.
Mu Shiyu didn't stop him this time, because she knew that this kid didn't have the guts.
"Oh, big official, hurry up here, please. The fat aunt hurriedly twisted her ass and came over to show Xia Ming the way, for fear that he would change his mind if he was not careful.
"Big official, I look very familiar with you as soon as I see you, so I'll give you a nine-percent discount, no... Twenty percent off.."
It's really familiar, they've only met twice, don't you remember, Xia Ming thought to himself, is this a special gift package for old customers?
Everyone looked at this strangely dressed and strange-looking foreigner, and they all talked about it in private, and some people said: "What a person can't look like, he was originally a bad old man."
The ninety sisters were secretly happy in their hearts, and when they saw him coming, they immediately raised their heads and chests, and half of them showed a sweet smile on their faces, showing their youthful and beautiful side.
But Xia Ming looked at their faces and shook his head one by one.
And he said in that fluent but strange standard language: "Is this all you have, and have you secretly hidden them? ”
His tone was very loud, and he slapped his face directly in front of these nine beauties.
"Great official, you don't have to look carefully. The fat aunt was also nervous in her heart, but there were really only these nine people, she thought for a while, and said, "Or the other half of the mask will be taken off for you." ”
"No, no, no. Xia Ming glanced at the nine girls, although he didn't find his seniors, but it was rare to have such an opportunity, not to look at it in vain.
Every time Xia Ming walked in front of someone, that person smiled faithfully at him, but the more he did this, the more disappointed he became, and he didn't even want to stop his eyes on their youthful and beautiful lines.
None of these people, he thought, were faithful to him, but to the money bag on his belt. The fat aunt's evaluation of them before said that their voices lacked soul. They blindly pursue the pleasantness and beauty of sound, but they don't know why music is pleasant and beautiful, they actually want to get the title of "first beauty" so that they can get more benefits. It's not so much that these people sold their souls to this building, but that they sold their souls to the patina-covered money.
It turns out that the rivers and lakes are all "you love me and I want"
He took one last look at Ninety-Nine, only Ninety-Nine's gaze was indifferent, she was very quiet, and the noise around her was like she was sealed in a huge transparent bottle.
"Ninety-nine girls. He said suddenly, and as soon as he said this, the silence around him receded like a tide, "Would you like to go back with me?"
The man shook his head and did not speak.
At this time, the discussion was like a wave, Xia Ming shook his beard, and said with a cheap smile: "But whether you want it or not, I have to buy you." ”
The fat aunt's face couldn't help but change, although Ninety-Nine won the title of "First Beauty", but it was really against her heart to say that she was beautiful. Although ugly is a little ugly, Ninety-nine's figure is also first-class, and when the mask is sealed, who can still see her face?
Such a person in the rivers and lakes has a very tight mouth, and she is worried that Xia Ming will open his mouth in turn.
Xia Ming took out an object.
"This... It's .." When the fat aunt saw the stone in Xia Ming's hand, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"It doesn't matter how much money you have, just use it in exchange!" Xia Ming said in a rich tone.
"What is this man doing with a rock?" someone asked.
There is no shortage of knowledgeable people in the building, when he saw the tartar in Xia Ming's hand, he couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of wine, this person actually exchanged such things for a wine girl, the key is still ninety-nine, he will not have a problem with his brain.
The man was sprayed by him, and before he could react, he only heard him say: "This thing, once in a hundred years, I don't know if it's true." ”
"Judge, please wait a moment. ”
The fat aunt beckoned, the waiter came over, holding a tray, and Xia Ming put the tartar stone on the satin of the tray.
The waiter carefully went upstairs with the tartar in his hand and presented it behind the curtain.
The landlord personally checked the authenticity, and felt that the landlord was not simple. Xia Ming was also a little worried, after all, he wouldn't tell the truth of this kind of thing, he was afraid that what he thought was real was actually fake.
Soon, though, the man behind the curtain nodded, which put his heart at ease.
The waiter came down again and whispered a few words in the fat aunt's ear.
The fat aunt said: "This thing is too precious, so please ask the official to pick another one." ”
I'll go, buy one get one free! Xia Ming has flowers floating in his heart.
He rubbed his hands vigorously, and when everyone thought he was about to try, he suddenly covered his back waist and deliberately raised his voice, for fear that others would not hear him and say: "The waist is not good, the waist is not good." ”
After a moment of silence, what everyone thought of was amazingly unanimous: this person has a poisonous brain!
