In front of Donglai Inn is the tile house. You can hear the laughter and laughter coming from inside every day, but you have never entered it. The two of them walked in together, curious about everything they saw, and looked strange.
The door of Wase is open and people can come and go as they please without any restrictions. When you walk into the gate, you will see a large open-air market. There are caterers who prepare various delicacies on site. The tangy aroma makes people salivate. The flames of the cooking and the sound of the barbecue make people naturally want to eat. . There are vendors selling various snacks and snacks. Their exquisite appearance makes people want to take a bite. There were also stalls selling kittens and puppies, with adorable fluffy pets jumping around. Liu Ximei couldn't help but reach out to pet them. But there were too many things stuffed in her chest, and she couldn't bend down, so she had to let Gu Shengchao hold it up with both hands, so that she could caress the little animals. She wanted to buy one, but thinking that she still had no fixed place to live, she had to give up and let Gu Shengchao let go. Went back.
The various snacks and pastries looked so tempting. Liu Ximei wanted to eat them but didn't dare to speak for fear of revealing her identity as a woman disguised as a man, so she had to pretend to be mute and point at the ones she liked and say "ah" several times. When Gu Shengchao saw this, he hurriedly bought it.
Among the many stalls, I found one selling masks. Gu Shengchao also bought different beards and ghost masks to prepare for emergencies.
The most attractive thing about Washili is the hook fences of different sizes. The large hook fences are hundreds of feet square and five or six stories high. The small hook fences are also two to thirty feet apart and two or three stories high. There are notices outside each hook bar, so you can know what program is being performed inside. There was a small sign with a check mark stating that there was a music performance inside. Liu Ximei liked to listen to this. Gu Shengchao wanted the best seat when buying tickets. He was informed that the second floor was full and could only watch from downstairs. Gu Shengchao had to buy two tickets. People go in and watch.
After entering the hook bar, facing the stage, there were several people playing musical instruments, and a woman sang loudly from time to time. The two of them found a place to sit down, especially Liu Ximei. It was not easy for her to have a big belly, so she quickly sat down and stretched her body to relieve the discomfort caused by dressing up. Gu Shengchao listened for a while, but felt that the sound of the music was rising and falling, and there was nothing special about it. He turned to look at Liu Ximei, but she had tears in her eyes as she heard the emotional part and suddenly shouted "Okay."
Gu Shengchao was startled, worried that her daughter's identity would be exposed. Unexpectedly, many people shouted "Okay", completely unaware of who was shouting first just now. Liu Ximei also noticed something was wrong. She stuck out her tongue playfully towards the ancient sage and put a piece of pastry to his mouth. Gu Shengchao quickly glanced around and saw that no one paid attention to them, so he quickly swallowed it, for fear that others would misunderstand that they were in love with each other.
After listening to the music for a while, the two went to other hook bars to watch the show. For Gu Shengchao, the most interesting thing is a relatively large hook bar. The stage is in the center of the hook bar, which is very different from other hook bars where the stage is on one side. There is a wrestling match on the stage. Usually, a wrestling match is a one-on-one competition between two strong men in terms of strength and skills, but here it is a duel between two relatively strong women. Both women were wearing underwear and underpants, which were divided into two colors: blue and white. They pushed each other's shoulders hard with their shoulders. Seeing that the woman in blue was about to push the woman in white out of the circle. The woman in white suddenly dodged, grabbed the woman in blue's underwear and pulled it behind her. The woman in blue was unsteady on her feet, staggered and fell out. Her underwear was also torn apart, and she left the stage with a red face.
Everyone clapped and applauded. The atmosphere was heightened, and Gu Shengchao couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Liu Ximei looked at him and whispered: "Is it fun?"
"It's fun." Gu Shengchao replied casually, still in high spirits.
Liu Ximei stared at him and said seriously: "Is it really that fun?"
Only then did Gu Shengchao react and coughed awkwardly: "It doesn't seem to be that much fun."
Liu Ximei was reluctant and continued to ask: "How fun is it?"
The Ancient Sage stood up in embarrassment: "It's not fun at all, let's go look elsewhere!" As soon as he stood up, he quickly pulled Liu Ximei to sit down again.
"Tch!" Liu Ximei mocked: "You men have the same moral character, so I know you are reluctant to leave. Okay, I don't blame you. If you want to see it, just feel free to see it."
"Shh!" Gu Shengchao gestured to Liu Ximei to keep quiet. He pointed to the people in front of him and said, "Who do you think those people are?"
Liu Ximei stared at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know him."
Gu Shengchao said close to her ear: "I only recognize Xue Kui, the second master of Longhu Village, and a man named Jia Laosi. The day before we left the escort carriage and went on the road alone, they led the troops to besiege our escort carriage and caused the The team suffered heavy casualties.”
"Really?" Liu Ximei carefully identified it and said regretfully: "I was scared that day and kept hiding in the car. I seemed to hear a guy named Xue Kui speaking with a high voice."
Gu Shengchao said in a low voice: "They are the ones who came to the capital this time with uneasy intentions. I will send you back in a while, and then I will follow them secretly to find out whether it is bad for us."
Liu Ximei readily agreed, and the two quietly left the house and returned to the inn. Liu Ximei was worried about Gu Shengchao's safety and wanted to give him a hug to comfort him. Unexpectedly, the bulging fake belly was really in the way. When their stomachs collided, Liu Ximei bounced out. He took several steps back and almost fell. Sit on your butt on the ground. Angrily, she reached out and took out some cotton wool and rags, and finally pulled out a cloth bag. It turned out that she put the cloth bag in first, and then gradually stuffed it with cotton wool and rags to create a suitable shape.
Gu Shengchao felt distressed when he saw her miserable appearance, and quickly carried her to bed and gave her a comforting hug, and then hurried to Washe, fearing that Xue Kui and the others would run away and not be found.
Fortunately, Xue Kui and the others were still admiring the woman's horns in the hook bar, and they were all dancing with excitement. As the competition became more and more exciting, powerful female players appeared one after another, and the suspense of the competition became more and more exciting. The organizers began to place bets on who would be the final winner. The emotions at the scene were completely aroused, cheering and cheering for the team they were optimistic about, and shouts came one after another.
In the end, Xue Kui seemed to have lost his money and was dejected. Another strong man who was half a head taller than him led several people away. Gu Shengchao followed from a distance and walked for nearly half an hour before watching them enter a large house. Gu Shengchao walked around the wall. Seeing no one around and sensing no one else's breath, he jumped up and climbed on the wall to observe the situation inside.
The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Under the moonlight, only weeds could be seen. Most of the houses seemed to have dark lights, but there were a few lights in the southwest corner. Gu Shengchao jumped down gently and followed the lights.
Gu Shengchao was halfway there when a low voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "It's true, Commander Liao, he insists on using the main hall room to receive guests. The room where he usually rests has been cleaned, and he insists on tormenting people."
"You carry the water carefully. Look, the water is spilled all the way." Another person accused.
Gu Shengchao heard that the voice was coming towards him and hurriedly hid aside. It happened that a door opened in the room next to him. It was dark and no one was found inside, so he walked in lightly and waited for the two people to pass by before going out. . The footsteps of the two people were approaching, and they could already see the bright light from the lanterns, and they were clearly walking towards the house. Gu Shengchao was anxious. He spotted the beam position in the night and jumped up. There were several bamboo baskets and dustpans hung on the wall. He trotted over and hid.
The house must have not been cleaned for a long time. Gu Shengchao ran over and vibrated the beams, causing some dust to fall.
He picked up a lantern on a long bamboo pole and entered the house first, followed closely by the two of them. A thin man picked up a wooden bucket and put it down heavily. He breathed heavily and said, "I'm exhausted. You scrub first while I take a breath."
Another fat man hung up the lantern and said sarcastically: "You are as skinny as this bamboo pole. You fall over when the wind blows. It's a real disadvantage to work with you. I have to put in more energy than you."
The thin man gasped and said reluctantly: "Don't stand and talk without hurting your back. It's so far away, why don't you carry water? I finally carried it over and you made sarcastic remarks. If you have the ability, you can carry it back later."
"Okay, you clean this place, I promise you won't have to rest on the way back." The fat man said with a smile.
As soon as the thin man heard that there was no need to carry water back, he immediately picked up a rag to wipe the tables and chairs and cleaned the floor. He coughed a few times from exhaustion and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense. I'll see how you can carry the bucket back without resting."
The fat man picked up the bucket and went outside the house and poured all the water out. He said proudly, "Let's go. I promise you won't have to rest on the way."
The thin man finally realized that he had been deceived, and he defended himself: "You are trying to trick me. I told you that I would carry a full bucket of water back, and I didn't ask you to carry an empty bucket. Who wouldn't do this?"
The fat man laughed and said, "Did I say bring water? Why don't you bring another bucket of water? I promise not to pour it out and bring back a bucket of water."
The thin man said aggrievedly: "You think I'm stupid, I've already cleaned this place, and I'm crazy to carry water again."
The two were arguing, but no one was seen walking quickly. Although the man was fast and his steps were extremely light, he looked like a ghost in the night. Only when they got closer did the two people notice it and were startled at the same time.
"Hello, Commander Liao." The two said in unison.
"Has it been cleaned?" Commander Liao's voice was low, but his tone was unquestionable.
The fat man grabbed the words and replied: "I have cleaned everything." He put the bucket into the thin man's hand and scolded: "Take the bucket back, don't be out of breath after doing some work, you are like this after eating the same meal. .”
"I..." The thin man was about to explain.
Commander Liao waved his hand and said impatiently: "You two go, and call me the people from Longhu Village."
The thin man looked at the back of Commander Liao with an aggrieved look, and was pulled away by the fat man: "Let's go, don't work like a dog until you are tired." His voice was not loud, but it was clear in the silent night. Although he seemed to be scolding the thin man, But he said it towards Commander Liao's back.
"Commander Liao, I will make tea for you and bring it over in a moment." The fat man said diligently.
"No need." Commander Liao refused coldly.
"Okay." The fat man smiled and bowed back, pulling the extremely depressed thin man away.
