Chapter 13 Chapter 12 The Luxurious Little Beggar

In the next few days, the Dongguan Brigade really settled down in Gongsun Jianyu's brothel. In fact, it is not quite appropriate to say that this house in the south of the city is an ordinary brothel. This house named "Shuiyueju" Although there are many Yingying and Yanyan in the mansion, the women among them all stay here voluntarily. Many women seem to have had unbearable pasts, and they were later taken in by Gongsun Jianyu, so they settled down here , As for whether to live with benefactors or not, and whether to sacrifice their lives to earn money, it is up to them to decide, and Gongsun Jianyu never interferes.

It is said that this Shuiyueju was not founded by Gongsun Jianyu, but has been opened in Yingdu City for several generations. The owners of the past generations are all women, and they all have the surname Gongsun, but they are not handed down from mother to daughter. Master-student relationship. Dongguan Brigade stayed in the room for several days, and the burns on his body healed very quickly, which was quite different from ordinary burns. The scabs fell off in about three or two days, and even the doctor didn't know the reason. In fact, it is because the symptoms of the wounded by the magnetic blast are generally similar to those of the radiation burn patients, but there is no hidden worry about residual radiation energy, and the magnetic blast wound has a strange energy, not only can no bacteria survive, even The skin grows and heals very quickly, so in the 24th century, some scientists dubbed this kind of injury "severe injury from playing tickets", because generally speaking, as long as the injury is not killed by the magnetic explosion, it will be very fast Healing, as if it was just a dream.

And the eyebrows and hair of the Dongguan Brigade gradually grew out after a few days, and it was no longer the hard-boiled egg appearance when he was injured at the beginning. He only stayed on the bed for a few days, and then he volunteered to go to the firewood house at the back to help the workers burn fire and chop firewood. He was originally from the mountains and forests, and he was used to this kind of handyman work. With the exercise of his muscles and bones, his injury healed faster, no matter what. By the seventh day, he was already like a normal person, and even the scars on his body had almost disappeared.

But Gongsun Jianyu still told him carefully from time to time, ordering him not to leave the gate of Shuiyueju, lest he meet Dou Ziyu's subordinates and lose his life for nothing. It's nothing to stay in Shuiyueju all day long, but when I'm free, Dongguan brigade still thinks about the life and death of Hu'er and Ni Chengji in my heart, and I asked Gongsun Jianyu several times, but she couldn't find out. What is the whereabouts of these two people after they came out? Are they alive or dead, or where did they go? After more than half a month of such days, the Dongguan Brigade has been bored in Shuiyueju for a long time. Fortunately, there is a small forest in the back garden of Shuiyueju, and there are a few big trees in the forest. I often climb to the top of the tree to see the people coming and going in the capital city of Ying, and overlook the busy life of the people of Chu in this huge city from a height.

On this day, the afternoon sun was particularly strong. The Dongguan brigade got tired of staying in the room, so they ran to the back garden again, climbed up the big tree, and planned to look outside from the deep shade of the tree, thinking about what to do. If you can go out to the outside world, what do you want to do. Lazily lying on the tree like this for a while, suddenly, there was a harsh noise from a distance. The noise was mixed with scolding and barking of big dogs, as if they were chasing something. For a while, the Dongguan Brigade thought that he had returned to the mountain of his hometown, sitting on a tree and peeking at the scene of Chu soldiers hunting in the mountain, but after a second thought, he knew that this place was not deep in the mountain.

So, why are there yelling and dog barking on the streets of Yingdu? Curiously, he turned over and climbed up to a higher branch skillfully. He followed the sound and saw a group of strange people. A few streets not far away, there was a group of businessmen in different clothes, some dressed in brocades, some in jewels, and a fat man was panting, pulling a big dog in front of him. , a group of people ran in a panic, obviously chasing something. Taking a closer look, there was indeed a thin and small figure in front of him, running very fast, but the businessmen behind kept yelling and yelling, but they refused to give up.

The small figure circled left and right, running up and down the streets, but he didn't seem to be very familiar with the streets and alleys. Seeing the direction he was running, Dongguan Brigade couldn't help but sigh. In the past few days, he has become very familiar with the geographical environment around Shuiyueju, because he can't go out, he can only look at it from the top of the tree, after a few days, of course he can clearly see the nearby streets and alleys. As for where this little figure is running, if you look at the path, you will run to a dead end. Seeing the ferocity of the businessmen chasing him, once the little man in the front was chased by them, he would definitely have no luck.

Thinking of this, the Dongguan Brigade couldn't help but feel the blood rushing to his heart. Seeing that the little man had turned a corner and was coming towards him, he hooked his legs and hung upside down on the tree trunk. One point in the hand, copy the belt in the hand. At that time, the branches and leaves of the big tree where the Dongguan Brigade was located were extremely lush, so some of the branches and leaves exceeded the wall. At this moment, the position where he hung upside down was already out of the wall, and was above the alley outside the wall. Seeing that the little man was about to run under the big tree, the Dongguan Brigade called out.

"Hey! Come up!" That little man was a very filthy young man, he was running towards the East Gate Brigade at this moment, and when he heard him shouting, he stretched out his hand without any hesitation, and grabbed the belt in the air. Dongguan Brigade's hand sank and pulled, his physical strength was not bad, this pull pulled the boy up, and with a swing, he climbed over the wall. After the boy climbed over the wall, the group of people chasing him had also arrived, but everyone focused their attention on the front, but no one noticed the movement in the sky, so the Dongguan Brigade quietly withdrew their hands, straightened their waists, and walked silently. Quietly, he rolled over behind a branch and hid.

The group of businessmen chased here and saw that the filthy young man disappeared without a sound as if he had conjured a magic spell in front of him. Everyone was shocked and angry, and some couldn't help but yelled. Dongguan brigade hid on the tree branches, and heard those businessmen yelling at each other, all scolding the young man, it was nothing at first, but after listening to a few more words, he couldn't help but smile up. It turns out that these people are the owners of some famous and expensive shops in the city. These businessmen usually deal with wealthy businessmen, so they are naturally extremely snobbish business characters.

But on this day, this filthy young man took a few excellent jewels from aristocratic families to visit many expensive shops. Given the boy's background, he had no choice but to receive him suspiciously. As a result, the boy intentionally caused a lot of trouble in several famous shops as if he was deliberately playing a prank, causing the shop owners to suffer terrible losses. In the largest and most magnificent inn "Shenlong Pavilion" in the city, the boy ordered ten tables of the most expensive dishes and invited beggars on the street to eat, but escaped in the confusion. In the city's pharmacy "Amakusa", which specializes in expensive medicines, the boy asked the shopkeeper to take out the most precious rhinoceros horn Ganoderma lucidum in the store, but when no one was paying attention, he poured those precious medicinal materials with fire oil and burned them all. In another antique shop, the boy pretended to look at the antiques, but he took out a cat with its tail on fire from his arms, and let the cat run wild in the antique shop, breaking countless valuable antiques. What's more serious is that the fat man was originally Ling Yin Dou Ziyu's servant, and he was leading Dou Ziyu's favorite pair of fighting dogs, a male and a female, who were Dou Ziyu's favorite when he bet against princes and nobles. Pets usually run amok on the streets of Yingdu, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to come to stop them. But the young man picked up a sharp knife while the fat man was walking on the street proudly, and castrated the male dog while he was not paying attention. When the fat man woke up, the poor "Heaven's Pride Dog" was already lying in a pool of blood, howling miserably and shrillly. It is because of these terrible and ridiculous major crimes that these big bosses who are usually pampered will personally go out to chase and kill this little beggar. But yelling is yelling, hopping is hopping, it is useless to find someone, the big bosses have to go back dejectedly, and even the fighting dog left with its tail between its legs, listlessly. The East Gate Brigade hid on the branches, peeking at the backs of those big bosses going away, until they were no longer visible, then jumped from the tree neatly, and slowly climbed down. As soon as his feet landed, he saw that filthy boy squatting by the wall, smiling happily, as if nothing happened. The East Gate Brigade looked at him carefully, and found that although the young man's face was dirty, his facial features were quite handsome. He was about the same age as the East Gate Brigade, but his figure was thin and thin, and he was slightly shorter than the East Gate Brigade. After the two looked at each other for a while, the boy showed his white teeth and smiled. "You, very interesting, really fun." He smiled easily: "My name is Xionglu. What's your name?" "My name is Dongguan Brigade." "Dongguan Brigade? Very good, very good," the handsome young man Xiong Lu said with a smile, "I will remember you." Dongguan Brigade smiled and wanted to say something, but Xiong Lu turned around and ran away immediately. There is a small gate next to the wall in the back garden of Shuiyueju. The bears walked very fast and ran to the small gate without looking back, but they did not open the door, but turned over neatly and fell out of the wall. . But when he turned over to the wall, he stopped and stood on the edge of the wall. "Hey!" He was condescending, pointing at the Dongguan Brigade and said with a smile: "You, you are very interesting, I will come to play with you tomorrow!" I don't know why, but the young man has a strange quality that makes people want to listen to him. The Dongguan Brigade looked up at him in a daze, and nodded unconsciously. The bear couple smiled lightly, stood up, and disappeared by the wall. The East Gate Brigade looked at the place where his figure disappeared a little blankly, but in their hearts they looked forward to the coming of the next day soon. This day, the business of Shuiyueju was quite poor, and there was nothing to do. The Dongguan Brigade walked here and there in a bored way, and felt that there were very few people in the whole Shuiyueju. At nightfall, the lanterns at the gate of Shuiyueju were hung up, emitting a faint red halo. The Dongguan Brigade looked around at the gate, and wanted to go back to his room, but unconsciously made a detour and walked. Pass Gongsun Jianyu's house. I saw this strange and beautiful woman sitting in the room enjoying herself, her face was slightly flushed, she was as delicate and charming as an apple. Seeing the Dongguan brigade walking by, she smiled happily, and hurriedly dragged him into the room for a drink together. I don't know why that night, Gongsun Jianyu was very happy, his face was slightly flushed, and he talked a lot with Dongguan Brigade. Talking about the situation in Chu State, talking about Ling Yin Dou Ziyu's dictatorship, but Gongsun Jianyu said that he actually had a lot of difficulties, and he also bore a lot of notoriety for the entire Chu State. Gongsun Jianyu also talked about her own background, saying that she was originally an orphan girl wandering on the street, but was taken in by the former female boss of Shuiyueju, so she stayed here. In fact, the owner of this Shuiyueju has been called "Gongsun Da Niang" for several generations. It was created by a strange woman named Gongsun Ziyuan a hundred years ago. It is said that this Gongsun Jianyu and others honored as "Ziyuan" The "mother" ancient strange person once had extraordinary adventures, and once learned extraordinary skills in a strange place. After Da Che realized it, he vowed to open this Shuiyueju in Yingdu City. It is said that this "Ms. Ziyuan" herself was also a woman who had experienced a difficult situation. After receiving enlightenment from a strange person in that strange space, she vowed to help the unfortunate women in the world with her extraordinary insight. The Dongguan brigade was very interested in the past of this "Ziyuan lady" and wanted to hear more, but at this moment, a long flute sound came from the door of Shuiyueju. That is the signal that Shuiyueju has important guests coming. Hearing the sound of the flute, Gongsun Jianyu's face turned red suddenly, his expression was anticipation and nervous. Since getting to know Gongsun Jianyu, Dongguan Brigade has never seen her with such an expression. Although he is a simple young man, but after staying in Shuiyue Residence for a while, he has already had a little idea about the relationship between men and women. With such an expression on Gongsun Jianyu's face, he vaguely knew what had happened. After a while of observation, the Dongguan brigade found that although this stunning woman with outstanding swordsmanship opened a romantic place like Shuiyueju, she was very strict with herself, and she never saw her make any false remarks to any man. But seeing her flustered flushed cheeks at this moment, it was obvious that this man who was about to appear must be an extremely important person in her heart. "He...he arrived early," Gongsun Jianyu said with an apologetic smile, "So I'm sorry, I want you to..." The Dongguan brigade smiled and got up slowly. "I know, I'm going back to my room." Walking out of Gongsun Jianyu's room, Dongguan Brigade walked towards the door of his own room, but after walking a few steps, his heart moved, but he really wanted to know what kind of character this man who made Gongsun Jianyu so fascinated was. So he looked around and hid himself in a bush at the corner of the corridor. Not long after, a few men really appeared in front of Gongsun Jianyu's door. These men were all tall and strong, with the same height, and each of them had sharp eyes like swords, as if nothing in the world could touch them. Hide away. Then, from the other end of the corridor came a handsome and handsome man in Chinese clothes. This man's stature was only taller than those big guys. They were already very conspicuous figures before, but Compared with this man, he looked like an ordinary wild goose flying in front of an eagle. Seeing this man's appearance, Dongguan brigade unconsciously felt a little ashamed, touched his new hair, which was less than an inch long, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice. "I really deserve it... I really deserve it..." As he was talking, he suddenly felt that he had lost all strength, and he didn't want to see what this man looked like anymore. So he turned around quietly, and slowly disappeared in the bushes. It's just that he didn't know that not far behind him, several big men looked like lightning, and their eyes were full of brilliance, looking at the bushes where the Dongguan Brigade left. But the man in the fancy dress was calm and relaxed. He shook his head slightly, and the big men stood respectfully with their hands down. With a sound of "bang", the door opened, Gongsun Jianyu laughed coquettishly, and rushed out from the door, "Yahhoo" jumped on the man in the fine clothes, and the whole person "hung" on him like this . The man laughed loudly, and the two embraced and kissed long as if they were about to squeeze their bones apart, and then carried Gongsun Jianyu's slender body into the door. On the second day, the door of Gongsun Jianyu's room was tightly closed, and it was still not opened until near noon. The charming and warm scenery inside the door can be felt even tens of feet outside the door. When the Dongguan Brigade passed by Gongsun Jianyu's house, he deliberately took a long way around and didn't look in that direction. At noon, he remembered the time he had made an appointment with that filthy young bear couple the day before, and he was not interested in going there, but since he had already made an appointment, he didn't want to break his promise to the bear couple, so he came at noon Arrived in the back garden. Slowly pushed open the side door of the backyard, only to see that the whole alley was empty without any figure. Haven't come yet? Or, will it come? The Dongguan brigade looked around with a little murmur, walked out of the back door a few steps after stepping on it, looked around again, and found that there was still no bear couple. After walking a few steps, he remembered that this was actually the first time he had walked out of the door of Shuiyue Residence in many days. Although it was only a few symbolic steps, he felt like he had regained his freedom. Even though Gongsun Jianyu had warned him not to leave the gate of Shuiyueju very seriously, how could a sixteen-year-old boy listen to such seemingly innocuous warnings? What's more, it's just a few ordinary steps, stepping on the yellow earth, a few ordinary footprints, what mistakes can go wrong?The big deal is to quickly step back later and close the door, won't anyone know about it without anyone noticing? While he was calculating his plan proudly, suddenly, the Dongguan Brigade seemed to see something passing by out of the corner of his eyes. He happily turned his head, thinking it was the young bear couple coming, but he saw that the whole alley was still empty and there was no one there. But there was an unusual atmosphere in the emptiness, which was enough to alert the East Gate Brigade's strange ability. With a "huh", a huge figure flew up again, like a big bird, flying from the wall on one side of the alley to the wall on the other end. The East Gate Brigade was taken aback, and instinctively wanted to run back to the side door, but when he turned around, he saw a strange man with a pale face and closed eyes standing behind him, standing there like a dead man. I saw that man was dressed as a servant, but the quality of the clothes on his body was surprisingly exquisite. He was tall and tall, two heads taller than the Dongguan Brigade, and he stood motionless between him and the side door. If you want to go back, you have to bypass him. The East Gate Brigade looked at the man in surprise, turned his footsteps slightly, and wanted to go around him and return to Shuiyueju quickly. At this moment, I only heard the "scrubbing" of the clothes behind the back, and the Dongguan Brigade turned his head hesitantly, but saw that the originally empty alleys were silent in the blink of an eye. The resting place was full of big men in the same uniform as the officers. The same pale face, usually closed eyes. The number of big men is extremely large, and it is unknown where they came from. There are so many people that they can hardly stand in the alley. Seeing such a group of strange people appearing like ghosts and ghosts, the Dongguan Brigade was in shock and was wondering whether to call for help when someone behind him suddenly "hummed". "Let's go!" The sound didn't stop, but the Dongguan Brigade felt a numbness in his throat, hands, and legs, and his whole body was like a clay sculpture, unable to move, and slowly fell over like a big log. The few big men beside him were very skilled in their techniques. When they saw him falling over straight, three of them stretched out their hands, one hugging his head, one hugging his waist, and the other hugging his feet. The East Gate Brigade raised his legs, lifted him over the wall without a sound, and disappeared. "Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!" Countless big men quietly jumped into the other end of the wall and disappeared. It seems that the road in this alleyway is superfluous, and no one walks from the normal road and walks back. Just in the blink of an eye, there were so many big men standing in the alley, but they disappeared in a moment, and there was not even a more obvious footprint on the ground. No one knows what happened a moment ago, but the Dongguan Brigade has disappeared without a sound. Only the side door was quietly ajar, setting off the deserted alley, full of weird atmosphere. At this moment, in the branch of the big tree above the wall, the strange boy Xiong Lu was lying there quietly with his arms pillowed on his head, with a blank expression on his face. Just now when the Dongguan brigade was taken into captivity, all the big men mysteriously appeared and disappeared mysteriously. All these strange things happened directly under him. It's just that the young Xionglu seemed to be all right, lying motionless on the tree, his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something strange.
