The woman in front of her was plump and fair-skinned, with a red flower hanging sideways on her long, soft and fluffy hair.
Zhuang Youjie almost didn't dare to breathe, because as soon as he took a breath, the alluring fragrance went straight into his head.
Ashiya seemed to dislike seeing this woman very much and scolded her in Shuizhai language with a very disgusted expression.
The woman was not annoyed, she let go of Zhuang Youjie with a smile, and said in Chinese while smiling,
"Oh, I don't know if my little sister has a crush on one of you brothers, and she's even angry with me!"
Ah Shiya's face suddenly turned red from suppressing her emotions, and she hurriedly told Zhuang Youjie, "Ignore her, she is a crazy woman, and even the good people in our village are not willing to talk to her."
But Zhuang Youjie looked at the state of the woman in front of him. Although she was a little frivolous, she definitely didn't look insane.
This woman's hair was very messy, not as carefully tied up as the other Shuizhai women they had seen along the way. Her top was also very light, and her neckline was lower than ordinary people.
Based on her appearance and Ah Shiya's attitude towards her just now, Liang Yuanque judged that this woman should be working as a prostitute.
It seems that there is this kind of flesh and blood business everywhere.
Seeing that they were silent, the woman continued to tease Zhuang Youjie, "How about it, let's see how the girls in our village are doing. Do you want to stay and be your son-in-law?"
Zhuang Youjie was stunned and subconsciously said "ah", which caused the woman to laugh wildly.
While smiling, she patted Zhuang Youjie on the back, leaned in front of him, and said to him at an extremely ambiguous distance, "I'm afraid that you are destined to marry, but not to enjoy it."
She said this in a very soft voice. If the distance were not so close, Zhuang Youjie probably wouldn't be able to hear it.
Others around her obviously didn't hear her words, especially from A Shiya's perspective, it looked like she was scorning Zhuang Youjie.
Ashiya was annoyed and didn't want to see her messing around. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhuang Youjie, "Let's leave quickly and ignore her."
The few people quickly left the woman's side. Zhuang Youjie was still in a daze. He always felt that the woman just seemed to be reminding him of something.
Liang Yuanque asked the angry A Shiya, "That sister is..."
"She is," Ashiya couldn't express that word in Chinese, so she had to say, "she is a woman who sells her body. Do you have such a woman outside?"
Liang Yuanque laughed awkwardly, "Actually, they can be found everywhere."
Ashiya seemed to have a lot of complaints against women, "None of the girls in our village would get close to her to avoid being led astray by her, but she just likes to get close to people, like a lingering ghost!"
"Only the same unscrupulous people would provoke her, but I don't know what brother Liuyun thinks, but he has also gotten into trouble with her recently!"
Ashiya was still angry, but Liang Yuanque keenly caught a name in her words.
Liuyun? Wasn't the man who came to your door last night named Liu Yun?
That man actually got into a relationship with a prostitute in the village. Hey, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes didn't expect that he was also a prostitute.
But Zhuang Youjie thought of more because he heard the woman's prompt. He felt that the woman's tone to Liu Yun was to drive them away, rather than to remind them to run away.
He looked at Liang Yuanque beside him, thinking about how to find an opportunity to tell Liang Yuanque what the woman just said.
Asiya was always by his side, so he didn't dare to confide at will.
Liang Yuanque keenly noticed Zhuang Youjie's expression and saw that he seemed to have something to say.
Seeing a lot of people gathered in front of a wooden building in front of him, he had an idea and asked Ashiya,
"What are those people in front doing?"
Ashiya, who was still talking to herself angrily, was called back to her senses by him, looked forward and said,
"That's a pastry shop. That shop is delicious, so many people are buying it. Do you want to try it?"
This is not a good opportunity. Liang Yuanque smiled at her and said, "Thank you then."
Ashiya blushed, "Well, then I'll buy it for you!"
There were many people around the door of the wooden building, all waiting to buy freshly baked cakes. Asiya was squeezed in the middle of the crowd, and she probably wouldn't be able to buy them for a while.
Liang Yuanque took Zhuang Youjie to a deserted corner on the pretext that it was too boring to be among the crowd.
"Okay, now you have something to say."
Zhuang Youjie saw that this was a rare opportunity, so he quickly told Liang Yuanque what the woman had just whispered in his ear, and at the same time told him his guess.
"Ah Que, I feel like she and Liu Yun are reminding us to leave quickly."
Liang Yuanque folded his arms and fell into deep thought, "Your idea is quite reasonable."
"But this also shows that the Liuyun we saw last night and the woman we saw today may have experienced Wang Ming's death. They must know something."
"If we ask directly, they won't tell us obediently, right?" Zhuang Youjie sighed.
He didn't know what Liang Yuanque's next plan was. Anyway, his mind was in a mess right now and he couldn't give any advice.
"Of course it's not possible to ask directly. We have to use roundabout tactics." Liang Yuanque thought for a while and said, "Maybe that woman will be easier to deal with than Liu Yun. Let's find a way to go out alone in the afternoon to find her."
Asking Wang Ming directly might cause trouble, so Liang Yuanque decided to proceed step by step, starting with outsiders who had entered the village before.
They are outsiders anyway, and they are curious about whether they have been here before. It is quite reasonable, right?
He was thinking that Wang Ming's last letter was sent to his friend two months ago, which proved that he entered the water village at least two months ago.
Judging from the appearance of his body, he was definitely not killed after entering the water village and then dumped. It took less than a week from the time his body was dumped to the time when his body was found.
During that time, he must have lived in the water village for a period of time. A living person living in the village would leave traces no matter what he did.
Liang Yuanque planned to first find out where foreigners were arranged to live after entering the water village in the past, and then go to the nearby area to look for the traces left by Wang Ming.
As long as we can find some clues about his existence, we can start to deduce what happened to him in the water village.
"Oh, by the way," Liang Yuanque said to Zhuang Youjie after pondering for a moment, "Actually, I learned a few words of Shuizhai language from Mr. Wonton before I came in."
Zhuang Youjie was pleasantly surprised, "So you can understand what he said, then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Liang Yuanque shook his head and said regretfully, "I guess my uncle's language proficiency comes from what he has heard from ordinary people. What he taught me were very simple daily vocabulary expressions, and I can only understand a few words here and there."
"But I basically understood the last words Uncle Mu Su said before Asiya took us off."
"What?" Zhuang Youjie asked quickly.
"I understood that he said 'they' and 'don't do anything'. Judging from the context, it should be,"
"They wouldn't do anything like that!"
