"Ordinary people?"
Listening to Pei Wende's voice full of teenage quality, the woman who originally thought the other party would be some kind of strong man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"There are always some people in this world who have some magical abilities. This is not surprising."
Fortunately, the woman's daze didn't last long, and she suddenly laughed like an epiphyllum fairy who had seen through the world.
"It's like you climbing through the window and coming to my room in the middle of the night."
"Judging from the courage and ability alone, I'm afraid he's not an ordinary person, right?"
What the woman said was true. During these years of traveling around, she had seen too many talented people who were no different from "gods" in the eyes of ordinary people.
Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s just say that the theater troupe where I lived after leaving Chang’an was a place where capable people came out in large numbers.
"It seems that Xiao Hei still hides a lot of things from you."
Frowning slightly, Pei Wende suddenly felt curious.
What charm does this woman have right now that makes the famous Hu Dou willing to conceal her identity and keep her company around her all the time?
You must know that according to Wu Yanqing, Fu Dou regarded this woman as a treasure, and even did not hesitate to gather a huge group of monsters and capable people for her.
"Xiao Hei does hide a lot of things from me..."
"But I probably know what he's hiding."
Contrary to Pei Wende's expectation, the woman was not surprised at all by his words, as if she had already known Fu Dou's identity.
"But you know it so clearly, it seems that you are an enemy rather than a friend."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Wende suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked by the woman in front of him - even though he had no intention of hiding it in the first place.
"hiss!"
Seeing this, the little green snake emerged from the collar and spat out the snake's letter as if mockingly.
It found that although Pei Wende behaved very shrewdly most of the time, sometimes he would always fall off the chain in unexpected places.
For example, right now, the woman's true stance on this trip was revealed with just one sentence.
"There is a high probability that it is the enemy..."
"But that doesn't prevent me from understanding its past, does it?"
Having long been accustomed to the little green snake's "complaints" from time to time, Pei Wende continued to ask calmly as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Indeed, after all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
Smiling softly, the woman suddenly turned her head and looked at the black-eyed man next to her.
"I've been with you for so long, and I still don't know your real name until today. Do you mind telling me?"
Seeing that the woman suddenly changed the topic to him, Wu Yanqing's eyes widened in confusion.
"name?"
This was the first time in Wuyanqing's life that someone asked her name so solemnly, so solemnly that she didn't know how to answer the question.
"My name is... Wuyanqing..."
Glancing at Pei Wende hesitantly, Wuyanqing finally chose the "nickname" that Pei Wende gave him.
"Wu Yanqing? What a nice name!"
He gently stroked the five-stringed pipa in his hand, and heard the woman whisper in a slightly emotional tone.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is A Hong."
"When I was in Chang'an, others called me Feng Hongye, but I didn't like that name."
"Before I was called Maple Hongye, I had a name that only Xiao Hei knew..."
"That is my real name, and it is also the only thing left to me by my parents who gave birth to and raised me."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ahong's original name is Sun Xiuming, and she was born into an ordinary family in the capital city of Chang'an.
This is her luck and her misfortune.
In this turbulent era, there is no such thing as a well-off or middle-class family for ordinary people. Being able to have a full meal and live to adulthood is already very rare and valuable.
At this point, Ahong is lucky.
Because although she was bought by her parents to a brothel, and then sold to a brothel, she was able to spend a relatively stable childhood in the brothel.
Even because of her beautiful appearance, A Hong not only had enough food and clothing, but also received better education and training than ordinary ladies, and became a well-deserved famous prostitute in the brothel.
However, due to the special nature of the brothel itself, Ahong had to learn some additional knowledge about guessing people's hearts and cultivating one's moral character in addition to the daily talent training such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Only then did Feng Hongye, a famous prostitute in Chang'an become famous for her talent and beauty.
He knows all the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, songs, dances and poems, all three religions and nine streams, and all human relationships...
She treats everyone with a smile and does not look down on any talented prince. When she is popular, Maple Hongye is simply the best interpretation of the word "famous prostitute".
The most important thing is that no matter how sweet-talking, talented and wealthy her pursuer is, she is never emotionally moved, let alone has unrealistic illusions about men who are obsessed with her beauty.
At this point, the vast majority of famous prostitutes and actors cannot achieve the level of Maple Hongye.
However, it was Ahong's attitude of seeing through the world and unwilling to get involved that ultimately brought her a disaster that ruined her life.
"I never dreamed that my mother, who had raised me and taught me that men should not be trusted, would eventually team up with a man to harm me..."
Humming infatuatedly, Ah Hong, who was silent in the past, now had the aura of a secular mortal, instead of the epiphyllum fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world before.
"It is better to be ordinary than to have unparalleled talents, and to be mediocre is worse than to be clean and self-sufficient."
From that moment on, Ahong understood a truth.
As long as you stay in this brothel, no matter how amazing and talented you are, you are still just a lamb surrounded by wolves.
Feng Hongye, a famous prostitute in Chang'an who was determined to do anything, stabbed herself in the eyes that night, restrained her talents, and committed suicide in the brothel with an image of "unwilling to be humiliated, world-weary and decadent".
No one would be interested in a blind man with a strong misanthropy and self-destructive tendencies.
This is true even for those dignitaries who claim to be romantic and gentle.
"Xiao Hei...that's when he appeared next to me."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, even though Xiao Hei was not a rickety young boy when he appeared in front of A Hong.
But the body odor, which was completely different from any human being, could not be hidden from her, who had become blind.
Although saying this may make Xiao Hei a little embarrassed after hearing this.
But in fact, from the beginning, Ahong recognized this monster who kept changing his identity and silently appeared next to him.
This made her feel a little curious despite being tired of the world.
What is this monster who pretends to be various dignitaries and calls his name every night to talk about music and recite poems by himself? What on earth is he planning to do?
