Chapter 212
As night fell, the small town quickly fell into silence. In this place where people work from sunrise to sunset, except for those special entertainment venues, there was not even a lantern hanging on the streets.
Lu Daju was so regretful. He had originally planned to sleep in a soft and fragrant hibiscus tent tonight. Not the kind with a young lady, but it would definitely be better than sleeping under the eaves of some unknown house.
If I had known earlier, I would have just said a few perfunctory words saying that it sounded good, especially good. But Taizu was such a stubborn person. Since he said that his singing was not good, I had to listen to what he thought was good.
In the end, her first trip to a brothel ended with the resentful look of the madam. She didn't know how many times the madam cursed Yuan Caidie in her heart, saying, "You eat the meat alone and don't let anyone drink the soup. You want to put such a big god of wealth into your own bowl."
"Okay, okay, I admit it. I just didn't listen carefully. It's not that you sing badly. There's no need to go back." Lu Daju was dragged away. He was scared to death before, but who would have thought that in just a few days, this person's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees, and it seemed that he was not afraid of him anymore.
"I want to hear how good the thing you said is. I want to learn from it so that I can make progress. Next time Mr. Lu comes, I will never let him down." Yuan Caidie was in awe of this big monster before. After all, he didn't know where the rich man came from to give him money, and he thought he had some ill intentions. Later, when he found out it was a monster, he became a little scared, fearing that the monster would take a fancy to his flesh and want to eat him.
Later, after learning about it that night, he realized that it might be his ancestor Yu Ze, similar to the goblins in operas repaying a favor. Curiosity outweighed fear. Moreover, when he saw that the cat's true form was a black kitten, he was even less afraid. Perhaps a long time ago, this was the cat his ancestor raised, and now it came to repay him.
The more Yuan Caidie thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Perhaps her ancestors had raised two cats, one black and one white.
"There's no way you can learn it." Lu Daju denied it without even thinking. Did he have to change the entire Romance of the West Chamber into electronic music? Come to think of it... well, maybe it's possible. After all, even the Amitabha Sutra can be chanted cyber-wise.
Lu Daju couldn't break free, so he slowly fell behind, his eyes darting around. He had to think of a way to trick him. He had escaped from Rong Zhou, and if he went back like this, he would be thrown into a cage and it would be difficult for him to escape again.
"It doesn't matter if I can't learn it. I have to see what Mr. Lu likes. I didn't hear the music you were talking about that day. I will listen carefully this time when I go there." Mr. Lu said that there was music playing in the yard, but Yuan Caidie couldn't remember it at all. Maybe she was stunned by that person at first sight and didn't hear any other sound.
Well, except for that miserable cat cry.
"Just go on your own. Don't pull me. I finally escaped." She struggled again to pull the sleeve out of his hand.
After hearing this, Yuan Caidie refused to let go, as if she wanted to catch the man and take credit for it.
Hey, Lu Daju's ears moved.
The person behind her suddenly stopped moving, and Yuan Caidie almost had her arm stretched. If this person was unwilling to cooperate, Yuan Caidie would not be able to pull him at all.
"Hey, I'll take you to see the fun."
"What?"
Before Yuan Caidie could understand what was happening, Lu Daju's tall arm hit his shoulder, and he jumped lightly, lifting him into the air effortlessly.
"ah……."
Yuan Caidie screamed just as Lu Daju covered his mouth with his other big hand and whispered in his ear, "Don't make a sound. If you scream, I'll throw you down."
Looking at the ground hanging in the air, which was at least three stories high, Yuan Caidie was so frightened that she forced herself to nod, indicating that she would not make a sound.
Lu Daju slowly loosened his hand, and after finding that he really didn't scream, he slowly led him to use Qinggong again and jumped over there from the roof.
Yuan Caidie suppressed a sudden scream of flying into the air, and then was surprised to find himself flying in the sky. He wiggled his toes and found that his feet were empty and the roof under his feet was much higher.
Wow, all the houses are so short. It’s so cool that the monster can fly. The wind in the sky is cool, as if he is having an autumn dream. He is floating in the air like a leaf.
After stopping for a moment, he realized that he was being carried into the shadow of an angled area of a blue brick roof. In this dark night where even the moon was dim, no one would notice that there were two pairs of prying eyes in the shadow of the roof.
Yuan Caidie's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of his throat. However, he did not make a sound as he had promised before. He just held the arm across his chest tightly with both hands, fearing that he would fall off the roof in the next second, and did not dare to move.
"Relax, you won't fall." Lu Daju could feel his nervousness, and his nails were almost digging into the flesh of his arm through his clothes.
Obviously this sentence had no effect, and he still held her tightly.
Lu Daju used his other hand, which was still able to move, to point to a narrow three-way intersection and said, "Look, there's a lot of activity over there."
"?" Yuan Caidie looked in the direction he pointed curiously, only to find that they had arrived in South City. He was familiar with this place. Before they went on stage, the entire team lived in a large courtyard here.
Of course, after he became famous by someone, everyone moved away.
To sum it up in one sentence, this part of the southern city is a civilian area with densely packed houses and crisscrossing alleys and lanes. If you are not a local resident, it is very easy to get lost. People of all kinds live here.
It's night time now, and except for a few households that have kerosene lamps on, most houses are dark. Burning kerosene lamps is expensive.
That three-way fork in the road is at the innermost part of the South City District. Yuan Caidie had walked through it once when he got lost. No matter which road he took, he would eventually reach the three-way fork in the road. He was deeply impressed. In the end, it was an aboriginal child who led him out.
"There's nothing there?" He waited with his big eyes for a long time but didn't see a single person. He didn't know what to ask him to see.
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
Perhaps to verify his words, a figure was seen over there soon, sneaking towards them from a distance at a very fast speed.
The reason why it was called sneaky was that the man was wearing a gray-black robe and a black melon-shaped hat. He basically blended in with the alley in the dark night. He walked very lightly and looked back every two or three steps, which gave him a very sneaky feeling.
Yuan Caidie's head was full of question marks. What was so exciting about watching someone walking?
"You can't have missed it, this is the young reporter."
Young reporter? Wang Yuqing? The reporter named Wang Yuqing in Yuan Caidie's memory was dressed in a completely Western style, with leather shoes, trousers, a white shirt, and black suspenders.
How could this man in front of me, wearing a long robe and with a small mustache, who looks like a private school teacher, be the young reporter?
Moreover, the reporter lives near Xishi Street. Why did he run into Nancheng Alley in the dark, dressed in disguise and looking sneaky?
