Chapter 214
After following the two young men to listen to a recently popular opera, Mrs. Hu relaxed for an hour and then separated from the two young men at the theater gate.
The world is bustling, but she has already embarked on the path of immortality, and has seen the scenery from a higher perspective. She can indulge herself temporarily to relieve stress, but she will never allow herself to indulge for too long, because she wants to see the scenery of higher peaks, to see the distant future, and even to live as long as the heavens and the earth.
"Arrogant, arrogant... haha." Madam Hu gathered her fox fur, stood up, sat on the flower sedan chair, and rode away with the wind: "In the world of cultivation, who isn't like this... What's going on down there?" It's just that some people hide it better, and they hide it so well that even they believe it themselves.
"My dear, someone was thrown into a mass grave. He sounded quite arrogant." This was the first time I saw a victim who was even more arrogant than the thugs. Although this arrogance didn't produce any results, he was beaten really badly...
"No need to intervene, let's go." Madam Hu lowered her eyes and counted on her fingers, speechless on the spot: "Thinking that Ding Lang could climb up to an aristocratic family, so I should learn to climb up too? This person is really bold! He really thinks that aristocratic families are fools! The last time a thief climbed through the window of an inn to steal the earrings, pretending to be in love with her and asking for her hand in marriage, he was not only fooled by the roasted pig with earrings. Everyone only knew that he left in disgrace, but no one heard from him again.
There were people listening to the opera upstairs, and there were people listening downstairs as well. After looking through the list of plays brought up by the waiter, someone expressed confusion: "Where's that opera? It's been so long, why hasn't it been adapted into a play and put on stage yet?"
"The scumbag dad who almost became a bride himself is not in this theater, you have to go to the one in the east of the city." Gossip with romantic content always spreads quickly, and gossip that stimulates various reversals spreads even faster. A scumbag dad who wanted to sell his daughter but was sold instead lived in poverty for most of his life, and finally became famous in his middle-aged and old age, although he himself did not want to be known by everyone in this way.
"No, I'm talking about her! That so-and-so!" The man put on an expression of looking down on the sky and silently cursed at the air in front of him: "Her!"
"What do you think Ding Lang is thinking? The troupe owner stages the play to make money. If he really stages this play, the stage will be smashed!" After that woman climbed up the Qiao family, her style of doing things was really arrogant.
"But what she did..."
"You don't like it, right? So what? He just has that ability. How many people can learn it?" The person who said that felt that he couldn't learn it anyway: "And that Rouge Tiger, I can't learn it!"
Someone who fell in a mass grave: I learned, and now I am gone.
Thug: He asked me to do it. I don't know what's going on lately, but I've heard this request many times. These people are crazy trying to scam me!
The Rouge Tiger of Zhuyue City, as they called him, was a legendary figure, born from an orphan. With his striking looks and ability to read people's expressions, he circumnavigated the world of the wealthy and powerful, securing a living that many envied. Some, having witnessed his unfazed and sweet-talking ways, secretly teased him that his abilities would make him a perfect fit for the position of Director of the Western Depot. However, he actually gave up the wealth and status he had hoped for, joined the Western Depot, and even ascended to the position of Second in Command.
Gossiping passersby: Can you learn that? Absolutely not! Just saying sweet nothings to those fat, big-eared guys is impossible! Why do some people look like they've been detoxed?
The chatter from the audience disturbed the others watching the show. After receiving a few glares, the two people who were gossiping shut up and continued watching the show. Bei Qiao was passing by the door and heard the opera lines coming from inside. He subconsciously stopped and listened for a while: Why does this sound a little familiar? It seems to be...
Suddenly, she felt her trouser leg tighten. Bei Qiao looked down and found a child bumping into her leg. She grabbed Bei Qiao's trouser leg, blinked, looked around, then looked up at Bei Qiao. After looking down, she realized something seemed wrong and quickly looked up again to confirm: she didn't seem to recognize the child. She took another look... Oh, I really don't recognize him!
"Sorry!" The little girl let go of her hand and ran away.
Bei Qiao watched the little girl leave, then slowly took two steps forward, his hands hanging down, the hand holding the fan gently tapping the side of his leg. After a few steps like this, making sure nothing was missing or extra, Bei Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped to avoid a carriage turning ahead. He hadn't noticed it before being hit. Is this a talent or a krypton gold effect? If it's a prop, I'd really like to have one.
As the sky darkened, lanterns lit up along the roads. While life in the outside world was convenient, this otherworldly world held its own charms. A crowd of eager children gathered around a roadside stinky tofu stall, but the little girl who had just run away was not among them. Not long after she'd walked, her large dog followed, wagging its tail and guarding the little girl. At the sight of a stranger approaching, it quickly assumed a wary stance, appearing remarkably trustworthy.
"Azhu!" The family members who had followed the big dog picked up the little girl and said, "How could you get away from the guards and sneak out alone?" A bunch of useless people couldn't even keep an eye on a child who didn't know any martial arts! Although my sister had a hidden amulet, as long as they kept an eye on her, they wouldn't ignore her. These people really don't take things seriously!
The little girl raised her hands and hugged her brother's neck, answering the question irrelevantly: "Brother, I saw a very handsome little brother."
"How handsome is he? Is he more handsome than your brother?" The little girl's brother teased her: I'm not bragging, I'm already a relatively good-looking man. It's impossible for me to be handsome without knowing it.
"He's prettier than his brother." The little girl answered in a baby voice but firmly.
"..." You are so disrespectful, it seems that it will be really interesting.
Seeing her brother's expression of despair, the little girl thought he didn't believe her and immediately jumped out of his arms and went back to find the handsome brother she had mistaken for. The big dog followed closely behind her, helping the little girl to scare away many people along the way.
Bei Qiao had only taken a few steps on the street when he was grabbed by a familiar little girl again. Seeing the little girl pulling at his clothes and pushing hard in one direction, Bei Qiao raised the corners of his mouth and stood still, letting the little girl do a space walk with her face flushed: Well, that's cute.
The boy who ran after his sister: "..." What a heartless person! How could he reject such a lovely sister like mine!
An older passerby watching the little girl pulling Bei Qiao said: Oh, this little girl is so cute, I wish my daughter could be as cute as her.
A young passerby watching Bei Qiao being dragged by the little girl said: "Alas, why didn't I meet such a beautiful person when I was so young? Now that I'm grown up and sensible, I'm embarrassed to make a move... Wow, this muscle outline, I really want to touch it.
The little girl found she couldn't pull anyone away, so she angrily let go of her hand and looked up, staring at Bei Qiao with her chubby face. Thinking she couldn't force anyone, the little girl didn't ask anything, but just wondered: Why don't you come with me?
"Because my mother told me not to go with strangers." Bei Qiao answered gently in a teasing tone.
"Hey? Did I ask the answer?" The little girl touched her mouth: No?
The boy who came to look for his sister held his chin high as he walked over and picked up his sister who was still pinching her mouth. "Whatever you want to say is written on your face, it's easy to understand." I knew no one could refuse my sister, no one! The tone of his voice was clearly teasing a child!
"But I'm not a stranger! I'm a child!" The little girl suddenly realized, then touched her little face, grabbed her brother's collar and put her face against it, pointed at her short legs, and tried to measure the height of Bei Qiao who was taller than her brother: "You are an adult! Why do you call a child like me a stranger!" Isn't this just teasing a child!
"Yes, even adults can't just follow others casually." Bei Qiao smiled: Although I have graduated from university and become a freelancer, in the eyes of my parents, I am still a child.
Qiao Lin's daily life: Don't open the door to strangers at home, and don't forget to turn off the gas before heating up food... And when you go out, be careful of traffic on the road. Some drivers drive like blind men, completely unaware of pedestrians... Also! If you see an unfamiliar vehicle parked on the sidewalk, don't approach it, or you might get pulled in and abducted... Don't talk to strangers casually, and don't tell anyone your home address!
Bei Qiao, who has heard it many times and can easily knock down men of the same age: Ahhh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Seeing Bei Qiao's sincere answer, the little girl was surprised for a moment and then expressed respect and understanding. She didn't dislike the neighbor's brother who wet the bed, and she even kept this little secret to herself!
Neighborhood brother: I repeat, it was my cat that peed the bed! Not me! Are children really that naive? They only listen halfway and talk nonsense everywhere. Now my mom has called a doctor for me... I'm not sick!
"What do you think, brother? I told you I'm pretty! Prettier than you!" The little girl raised her chin, and from her posture and expression, it was obvious that she and the boy were siblings.
Seeing that passers-by in a hurry turned their heads to look at him after hearing this, some people even bumped into others because of lack of concentration, the boy sighed, pinched his sister's face in frustration, hugged her and turned away: "Ah, yes, it is." What else can he do, he has to pamper his dear sister!
"Brother, why are you sighing?"
"……fine."
"Brother, why did that handsome brother leave? Doesn't he have anything to say to us?" Obviously many people like to talk to people in their family, but they just want to talk for the sake of talking!
"have no idea……"
"elder brother……"
