Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 176: The Swordsman is always the first to arrive
“Squeak.”
When the wooden door in the backyard was pushed open again, Zhang Susu clapped her hands, walked out of the room with satisfaction, then put her hands on her hips and let out a sigh.
Looking at her rosy face, if she were a man, people would probably think she had just raped a little girl.
Behind her were two figures hiding in the room, not daring to go out.
In the yard, Cao Wenxuan was cracking a handful of melon seeds, her shoulders shaking with excitement. Hao Dayou complained that his food reserves were almost swept away by this woman. Luo Ansheng was holding a book and reading, looking calm and relaxed.
"Why are you still hiding? Come out and let everyone see you. You will have to meet people sooner or later anyway." Zhang Susu glanced at the three of them, smiled and waved behind her, greeting them confidently.
Finally, the two people in the door lowered their heads and walked out slowly.
Cao Wenxuan stopped eating melon seeds, her mouth slightly open, and she didn't even notice the melon seeds in her hand falling to the ground. Hao Dayou stopped complaining, staring blankly at the two people who came out, and swallowed silently. Lao Luo raised his eyes from the book, and then he also froze there, his eyes twitching three times in succession.
The two people who came out were one big and one small. The smaller one was Ning Caihe, and the larger one was naturally Li Si.
At this time, Ning Caihe was wearing a light pink dress, which made her fair skin look like a lotus flower that was about to bloom. Her face was a little childish, but she was still charming. Her long eyelashes were trembling, her eyes were avoiding everyone's gaze, and her thin lips were pursed, as if she was shy but not angry, which made people love her.
If Ning Caihe was still the kind of innocent beauty, then right now, Li Si beside him could be described as a charming and charming woman. I don't know where Zhang Susu borrowed a crimson dress from, but it was just the right size for Li Si, and it was even a little loose at the hem, belt, and neckline, revealing some of her fair skin, making people want to take a peek inside.
Li Si's makeup was not heavy, just some gouache and two eyebrows, which made the originally soft curves more charming. Her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was like white snow, her teeth were like pearls, her lips were red, and the blush on her face, which was not sure whether it was shyness or slight annoyance, was enough to make others feel dizzy and dazzled.
Her hair hung down on both sides, in a bun. The half-hanging black hair prevented the beauty from being completely worldly, and gave her a more aloof and otherworldly look. She seemed to be something that could only be admired from a distance, but not touched, adding a hazy beauty to her appearance.
Feeling that most of the people's eyes were on him, Li Si raised his eyebrows slightly and let out a sigh of disappointment. He now only hoped that those who had received his letter would not come, otherwise, he would lose all face.
"Hey, what are you doing in the backyard?"
At this time, Banjiexian came in from the outside of the courtyard gate carrying a bucket of water. After a busy morning, he finally cleaned the tables in the hall. It was probably because no one had used them for a long time, and there was a layer of dust on the tables and chairs. It was not suitable for opening a business, so he cleaned it.
Dragging the bucket, Banjiexian looked up at the people in the yard.
"Bang!" Then there was a muffled sound, and the bucket fell to the side, and Banjiexian stood there stupidly.
"Li, Li Si?" He asked while slapping his mouth, looking at the "beautiful figure" in the yard.
Li Si also looked at him sideways, smiled, raised one hand and made a gesture on his neck. The meaning was simple, if he dared to tell anyone, he would be dead.
"Gulp." Banjiexian swallowed his saliva, pretended not to see it, and lowered his head to pick up the bucket at his feet.
It was the first time that he felt such obvious murderous intent from Li Si. His intuition after living for so long told him that he would die if he talked nonsense, so it was better to pretend that he didn't see it.
"Cough." Looking at everyone who was still in a daze, the shopkeeper coughed with a faint smile, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the lethality of Li Si and Ning Caihe, and continued.
"Then it's the voice issue. Xiao He doesn't have to worry about it, because her voice is just like a girl's. Xiao Si, is there any way you can change your voice, or just say less? You are our top star now, and you must not make any mistakes."
Seeing that Zhang Susu had completely immersed herself in the role of a brothel madam, Li Si shook his head helplessly.
Well, let's just consider it as a way of repaying your kindness in taking me in.
Thinking of this, he used his inner energy to control his voice and said, "Boss, how do you think about this?"
The voice it produced was exactly the same as that of a woman, and even more pleasant than that of an ordinary woman. It had more strength and was less delicate, but it was only a little less, not so much that it would not sound strange.
"Perfect!" Zhang Susu said with bright eyes and clapped her hands. Judging from her expression, she was probably already calculating how much money she could make this time.
At this time, Cao Wenxuan quietly walked to Li Si's side, gently pulled his sleeve and said.
"Fourth brother, you are not really a woman, are you?"
She didn't think much about it at first, but seeing Li Si's appearance, she had to think more. If Li Si was really a woman, then she would have no hope at all.
She was hoping to get married soon and live a stable life. How could such a thing be so difficult?
"What do you think?" Li Si drooped his shoulders weakly and spoke in a man's voice again.
"Hehe, that's right, Fourth Brother, how can you be a woman?" Xiao Cao immediately smiled awkwardly, raised a thumb and said, "Our Fourth Brother is a real man!"
"Of course." Li Si lowered his eyes and pulled at his collar. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the clothes were a bit windy, and it was like wearing nothing. He was really cold.
"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting." Zhang Susu narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Si and Ning Caihe and said, "Pack up, we're ready to entertain the guests."
…
In the next three days, Qianjialou's business suddenly became prosperous, with people coming and going in an endless stream.
To explain why, we have to start with the two girls.
I heard that recently Qianjialou invited two beautiful women from somewhere to solicit customers at its door. The younger one was fresh and elegant, while the older one was charming and enchanting. One of them was called Hong Girl and the other was called He Girl.
That figure, that face, wow, even the top prostitute in the Wanhua Tower next door can't compare to her. One look at her is enough to make you feel that your life is complete. If she pulls you with her little hand, you will be completely captivated. No matter where she wants to take you, you have no choice but to follow her.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, the news spread like wildfire, and naturally the romantic and handsome men in Mingzhou City could no longer sit still, and they all came to find out what was going on.
It was not a big deal to explore this place, but after that, they couldn't move their legs anymore. They sat in Qianjialou all day long and didn't want to go out at all.
There are also scholars who are fond of poetry: The red skirt and lotus steps are cleverly catered to, and the fragrant wind and beautiful figure are unattainable. Since ancient times, beauties cannot be retained, only fools admire them.
Well, it sounds like those two girls are ungrateful people.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside Mingzhou City, a young man holding a sword walked slowly towards them.
