Chapter 35 0035

Before Guan Baye could answer, the door over there opened, and a sister-in-law with a flat bun started arguing with the three.It turned out that the guy carrying the lantern didn't understand the unwritten rules of the brothel. As soon as the sister-in-law opened the door, he rushed in with the lantern. When the sister-in-law saw it, she hurriedly stood at the door to block him, and said: : "Master, this must be the first time here. It's not good to enter the girl's house with a lantern and an umbrella. This is a big taboo. If you do this, the girl will have no business next time. You really want to enter." House, please put down the lantern too."

"Hey grandma, I didn't expect being a whore has so many tricks? Speech! I don't believe in this evil! How about giving it a try?" As he spoke, his hand was like a vise tightening a screw. The slightly protruding part of the sister-in-law's chest was twisted repeatedly, which made the little sister-in-law scream out. "Don't make trouble, bastard." A tuft of hair on the side of the cheek said: "Yin Youxiang, the chief nurse of each hall, is equally difficult to provoke, so don't forget the serious business. —— On the dam, we don't have enough material to cause trouble .”

"I... I was just joking around, who wants to stare at Xiao Jiaotian?! Let's go, let's go to the low house in the back street to be warm and affordable!" The three of you supported him, he mingled with you, and bumped out obliquely all the way.Watching their backs, Guan Baye suddenly remembered something, and said to Lao Cao: "You might as well step on their bottom, if you have any news, go back and tell me, I will finish my work here, and I will wait for you when I return to Fuchang. " "That's it, Eighth Master." After Lao Cao left, Guan Baye walked over and said to his sister-in-law who was still standing at the door cursing, "I'm sorry to bother you to tell Miss Xiaojiatian that someone surnamed Guan came to see her." Before my sister-in-law could turn around, Xiao Jiaotian had already turned out from the room and said: "As soon as I heard the sound, I knew that the Eighth Master was coming. Xiao Jiaotian is here to pay a visit to the Eighth Master."

"I said, girl, I'm just here to investigate a matter," Guan Baye said, "I just want to ask how long have you been here? Have you ever met Xiao Hehua? Do you know something about her background?" Xiao Jiaotian heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed: "I don't know why you asked this out of thin air, Ba Ye?... I was brought up by a madam. I have never left Fengyuetang since I was a child. I know her, she used to live in my house, if you have something to say, please come in and sit down and talk." Xiao Mingtian is a red girl, the furnishings in the house are really magnificent, except the living room in front is a place to receive ordinary tea guests, and behind the round window, there is a small courtyard with a bright glass roof, built with rockery, and raised bluegrass and some exquisite potted plants; walking through the small patio is her sitting room, and behind the silk curtain is her suite. There is a bright golden lacquer table facing each other, and a sleeping couch covered with thick felt. The whole room is not only warm as spring, but also filled with a fragrance of orchid.

"Ba Ye, you are very human, and I will not treat you with common courtesy anymore." After serving tea and tobacco, Xiao Jiaotian also sat down on the opposite bed with his feet folded and said, "The little lotus was bought by the madam of the church. Because of her good looks and good fortune, she has been popular here for three years, and finally a benefactor named Wan redeemed her body and took her away." "Do you know her original name?" Xiao Xiaotian shook his head, took out a foreign cigarette from the living room and played with it: "Maybe the madam will know. Eighth Master, here, who is willing to talk about the past? What's the use of talking?  … ...Kong makes Ye Lai's tears fall to the corner of the pillow... It's nothing more than vulgar guests come and go, and it's hard to find a benefactor in half a lifetime. Perhaps only the surname Wan knows her real life experience. Please allow me to ask presumptuously, Xiao Hehua will be the eighth master Your old friend?"

"No, girl," Guan Baye said solemnly, "I'm really a miserable man. I've never had a leisurely time. I'm wandering alone. I don't know where to die and where to bury... I have an old friend, Qin Zhen, who left behind a daughter. Aigu is in the hands of the villains, after I came back from Kanto to inquire about her, I found out that she was betrayed, and the details and her whereabouts are unknown, so I had to come to inquire about her." "Miss Xiaojiatian, Mother Liu is here!" the sister-in-law reported. "It's just right, Baye." Xiao Jiaotian stood up and said, "About Little Lotus, you can ask mother, since she is no longer in the hall, mother will tell you....Come on, mother, this is the famous Guan Baye."

Mama Liu, the madam, is an old woman with a round face and a heavy chin, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes. She hides her shrewdness under her superficial appearance, making people mistake her for a wealthy old lady who does good deeds .As soon as she heard the word "Baye Guan" from Xiaojiaotian's mouth, she hurriedly put on a devout smiling face, and after a few fussy ouches, she said flatteringly, "Oh, damn it, I'm an old bitch Dazzling, I don’t know noble people, it’s really... here, who doesn’t regard you as a god?! Our little girl named Tian is a blessing from several lifetimes of cultivation? She fell into the eyes of the eighth master.... "

"Mom, don't talk about it," Xiao Jiaotian hurriedly cut her off and said, "Baye Guan is a man of copper and iron, not a rich young master who eats flowers, wine and tea, and Baye Guan has something to ask you. ""Ask me?" The old madam said: "Whatever the eighth master wants to ask, just ask, as long as I know, I will never leave a word, and I will tell the eighth master." "My eighth master is asking about sister Xiao Hehua who left with Wan. Ask her original name? Where did she get it? What's the name of brother-in-law Wan? Where did he take her?" Xiao Jiaotian was afraid that the madam could not hear clearly, so he said it in her ear and repeated it again and again.The old procuress tilted her face, listened intently, nodded her head, rolled her eyes back and forth, and waited for Xiao Jiaotian to finish speaking before she took a breath and said, "To tell you the truth, I am a professional , and there is nothing to hide. It is true that I got Xiaohehua from a prostitute in Jinguli, North Xuzhou, because she is not intact, and her net worth is relatively cheap. I really can’t remember her original surname? She is in Jinguli The prostitute's flower name is Xiaohehua... I remember her benefactor, Wan Liang, who is from the Wang family in the Northland, from Wanjialou! Now that she lives with Wan Liang, it should be the bran who jumped into Miluo , good enough!"

"Bian San and Mao Liu, the tortoises around the Ruyi Hall, did they find a girl surnamed Qin to come here?" Guan Baye said. "No." The old madam shook her head, and suddenly she said again: "By the way, I seem to remember that Xiao Hehua said that her original surname was Qin,... um... but she didn't give it to me from Bian San Mao Liu. Mine. If you want to find out, why don’t you take the Wanjialou to take a look when you pass through Beidi again, then you can figure it out!” Wan... house... building? !Guan Baye memorized their words, stretched out his hands to pinch his sable fur hat; he couldn't stay, the little Bodhisattva of Lujiagou, a partner of the old Liuhe Gang, was waiting to see him.

Don't wait for the old bustard and Xiao Xiaotian to come out, Guan Baye's mind is occupied by Lu Xiaobodhisattva's sudden visit, he can't guess what kind of things will be in front of his eyes? ! Little Bodhisattva Lu was accompanied by Xiang Laosan, waiting for him in the suite of Fuchang Zhanhua Hall.After many years of separation, Little Bodhisattva Lu looked much older and more haggard. His sickly face and tiredness made him languid. "Baye, my good brother," Little Bodhisattva Lu couldn't stop his eyes from getting wet when he saw Guan Baye, partly because of the sorrow of parting at this moment, partly because of the excitement and joy of reunion after a long absence, which made him Swallowed for a while and couldn't speak.Guan Baye hurriedly supported him to sit down on the side of the couch, until he calmed down, and then said quietly: "This time I came to the dam in the wind and snow, firstly, I really want to see you, and secondly, I want to report to you first." Here's some news... Back then, Lao Liuhe helped a group of brothers break their wings, and only four of them survived. Fortunately, you and old man Peng, Xiang Laosan both stood up, but I'm finished... I told them to seize, Although he was released on bail by the business group, half of his body was crippled because he couldn’t survive the torture, he was doused with too much kerosene and chili water, and he often coughed up blood, so he didn’t have many days to live!”

"Brother Lu came here to report the letter on purpose," Xiang Lao San said, "He said that after Judge Zhu was defeated in Wanjialou, he held a grudge and vowed to cut off Qi Gen of the Liuhe gang... Dadukou faces south a hundred miles Every step is a mountain of knives." Guan Baye nodded and said: "It's expected, the fourth judge is that kind of person. The account of Wanjialou has not been written off. It seems that the account of Yanshi pulling guns to protect the dam has been charged to me again." .” "The deserted village in Lujiagou is now completely occupied by bandits," Little Bodhisattva Lu said worriedly, "I heard that the fourth judge sent Qian Jiu and a group of bandits to step on you secretly all the way, and want to plant your black sword... Jialou, you came forward and beat the fourth judge away, and the sound spread hundreds of miles away. If the fourth judge didn't deliberately kill you, he would still have the face to hang around?...I said Ba Ye, even if you have the ability, you are not superhuman. upbraid!" "Auspicious people are blessed by God, Brother Lu." Guan Baye said, "I was blessed by God and escaped the first hurdle. I must have told you to the third brother that the assassination of the blind Ma Wu failed. Run away! Now that Qian Jiu has been arrested, there are still some unknown people here, so I can’t leave. I’m not worried about myself, but the dozen or so brothers who are involved with me.” "Don't worry about this," said Xiang Laosan, "Liuhe gang can trust Eighth Master. When it comes to people, they are one, but when it comes to fate, they are always one. You don't want to drag us down, but we can't stand still Let you run a horse on the side of the frying pan?" "I know you have a strong temper, Eighth Master." Little Bodhisattva Lu said, "Since you and the four judges have already had a grudge, it's useless to say more. But it's easy to hide a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Going south, it's always right to be careful... I've heard and seen all the way, and I told my third brother that I won't stay in Nengyan Market for a long time, and I have to leave in three or two days. I just hope you stay safe... …Heavy." "Aren't you going back to Lujiagou?" Little Bodhisattva Lu shook his head and said: "Lujiagou has become a den of thieves, how can I go back? I plan to go to North Xuzhou to recuperate. My nephew has a shop there, so I'll go and seek refuge with him." Guan Baye was silent for a while, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Human, it's pitiful enough to think about it. In the past, the boss of Shuangqiang Luo was attacked, and the Quan Liuhe Gang only survived you. The third brother, Old man Peng and I were four people. , except that Xiang Laosan and I are still together, we have been separated for many years. , The days are leisure, when brothers and sisters meet, they should have a good chat and drink a few pots of it, but now they are in such a hurry, I really didn't expect it." "It's good if we can meet each other," Little Bodhisattva Lu sighed, "I'm afraid that if we don't see each other for a few times, our temples will be like... frost!" In the splendid and luxurious suite, there was an unspeakable melancholy covered up for a moment, except for sighs and sighs, no one could change the topic.Little Bodhisattva Lu coughed dryly, as if he couldn't bear the atmosphere, he picked up his crutch to say goodbye, but Guan Baye held him back and forced him a hundred silver dollars. "You take this with you, maybe you will need it for the treatment of the disease," Guan Baye said, "I will visit you when I return to North Xuzhou after this trip. I will lead my legs on the road tomorrow morning, and tonight There are still a few things to do, and I can't keep you anymore." Guan Baye had just sent away Little Bodhisattva Lu, and Wang Shaodong from Fuchangzhan came with the chief of the police.
