Chapter 25(1/2)
"How do we go?"
Yan'er had changed her clothes and her messy hair was neatly combed, but one side of her face was still red and swollen.
"We can't leave tonight. We have to stay here for a while. Your face is still swollen, and it would be too eye-catching to go out. People in the brothel know that you have been beaten, and they will definitely pay more attention to you in the past few days. This
If you run away at any time, you will definitely be caught."
Yan'er looked at Xiaobai who was talking and felt a little strange in her heart. He didn't expect that her Xiaobai would be so thoughtful.
Xiaobai is still saying: "In a few days, you will do everything as usual these days. You will cry to your mother for a while, ask for some medical expenses, and let her relax her vigilance. Then tell the outside world that it will be my birthday in ten days and you will go to Dingsheng Hezhai."
Good food, I have to go to Qinfu Clothing Store to measure my clothes, and I also have to go hiking in the suburbs of the city, so let’s run when we go to the suburbs.”
Yan'er was stunned. She was stunned by what Xiaobai said. Although she was stunned, her heart was beating fiercely: "You are so powerful, Xiaobai, you think so clearly, I listen to you."
Xiao Bai didn't know why he thought so, just like a child is born with milk and a bird is born with the ability to fly. As soon as he thought about it, these calculations naturally appeared in his mind.
In the next few days, Yan'er listened to Xiaobai's words and cried to her mother for a while, saying that her face was ruined and she would never be able to receive guests again. And her mother, as Xiaobai expected, gave Yan'er
The ten taels of silver were used as medical expenses. And the news that Xiaobai was celebrating his birthday spread throughout the brothel along with the ten taels of silver.
"A prostitute celebrates Mr. Turtle's birthday. This is also the first time for the old monk to worship heaven and earth."
"That's right. I even asked my mother for ten taels of silver. She said that her face hurt. I'm afraid I want to go through this again."
When the other girls in the brothel said that to her, Yan'er didn't feel annoyed at all and actually smiled at them. She smiled so proudly that it was annoying.
This is what Xiaobai told her. Xiaobai said it was for her mother to know that these ten taels of silver had not only healed her face, but also tied her heart.
Xiaobai's plan was successful, and his mother truly believed that Yan'er had been bribed with her twelve taels of silver.
Everything seemed to be going according to Xiaobai's plan, but God's calculations were not as good as God's. On the tenth day, when Xiaobai and Yan'er went out to Shenghezhai, their mother actually called a handyman to join them, saying that it was
Yan'er is injured and needs a servant to take care of her.
The handyman was called Li Er. He had a dark complexion, a slender face, and a thick black beard on his cheeks. He looked exactly like the black whirlwind Li Kui in the painting book.
Yan'er's right eyelid twitched and she froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
But fortunately, Xiaobai had already planned it and said respectfully to his mother: "Thank you, mother."
The mother of the brothel, the head escort of the escort bureau, and the shopkeeper of the gambling house are all ruthless characters in this world. They speak human words to others and ghosts to ghosts. Their mouths, eyes, and hearts are as sharp as swords, arrows, and mirrors.
, how can ordinary people calculate against them.
The mother saw that Yan'er's expression was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. Li Er picked up the two babies with one hand, fearing a hammer.
"Yan'er, let's go."
Xiaobai took Yan'er's hand and walked towards Sheng Hezhai as if nothing was wrong.
Along the way, Xiaobai and Yan'er were walking in front, and Li Er was following behind them. They were eating at Shenghe Zhai, and Li Er was watching from the side without serving the table. They went to the cloth shop to measure clothes, and Li Er was there.
Take shelter from the sun in the shade at the entrance of the store.
To be honest, Li Er is definitely a good handyman, he works seriously, and he looks at Xiaobai and Yan'er closely, never leaving his eyes for a moment.
"Are you still going to climb the mountain?" Yan'er asked in a low voice.
Seeing that Yan'er's eyes had lost their sparkle, Xiaobai knew that she had lost her confidence and said, "Go, I have everything, trust me."
Xiaobai held Yan'er's hand, and her palm was already soaked. The cloth she touched had left marks one after another, which made the cloth shop owner roll his eyes.
"It's really too hot today." Xiaobai said sarcastically.
Yes, it is really hot today, and it will definitely be even hotter if you go hiking on such a hot day.
It's hot, the heat is overwhelming.
The scorching sun hung in the sky, illuminating the originally green trees and green grass with dazzling white light. There was no pedestrian on the mountain road, and it was empty but there was no hint of coolness. Yan'er, Xiaobai and Li Er, they
They all lowered their heads and had a layer of sticky sweat on their bodies.
Xiaobai took out the water bag he brought and handed it to Yan'er. After Yan'er drank, he drank all the water in the water bag.
"Drink less, you drank it all, we will be thirsty when we go back." Yan'er's eyes dimmed, she already thought of going back.
Xiaobai smiled, turned to Li Er and said: "Uncle Li, we are out of water, can you give us some water to drink?"
What Xiaobai said was very polite, and his voice made people feel comfortable.
Li Er had no reason not to give them water, so he handed the water bag to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai took the water bag, thanked him very politely, took a big sip, and then handed it directly to Li Er without closing the water bag.
He was hinting at Li Er.
Li Er also accepted the hint. He took the water bag and took a sip.
The water was very cool, especially in such a hot weather. The cool water overflowed from his mouth and flowed down his chin to his neck, as if he were in a clear and cold stream. Li Er couldn't help but take another sip.
Just when he took his second sip, he found Xiaobai staring at him. He was smiling, his eyes, eyebrows, and mouth were all smiling. He had a beautiful smile, which was better than many girls in brothels.
Why does he smile so beautifully? Maybe it's because he is very white.
Then why is he laughing?
Li Er couldn't think about it, and he couldn't think about it anymore because he had fallen to the ground.
"Ah." Yan'er was shocked, "What's wrong with Uncle Li?"
Xiaobai smiled and said lightly: "He probably drank water too quickly, choked his lungs, and died."
"Dead?" Yan'er's expression was very complicated. She was scared, terrified, at a loss, and excited.
As for Xiaobai, he was just smiling: "Yan'er, go ahead and find a tree to escape the heat. I'll take a look at Uncle Li."
Yan'er was very obedient. She walked forward obediently and sat under a tree obediently. As for Xiaobai, he walked to Li Er and squatted down.
Is Li Er dead? Of course not, he was just drugged, a kind of drug used in brothels to stun chaste and fierce women. Li Er is very familiar with this kind of drug. He has given it to many women.
But he never thought that one day he would fall for this drug.
"Uncle Li, let's go."
Now, Li Er is dead, killed by Xiao Bai's knife. Xiao Bai pierced Li Er's heart with a knife, but he did not pull out the knife. He knew that if he pulled it out, blood would splash on him.
Drawing the sword, blood splattered. This is something that only knights and thieves in the world know, but Xiaobai is neither a knight nor a thief, so how does he know this?
But he just knew it, just like he knew how to drink water when he was thirsty and how to eat when he was hungry, he knew these things innately.
"Okay, Yan'er, we can leave. No one will know where we have gone." Xiaobai smiled and stretched out his hand. His smile was very innocent and his hands were very white.
But Yan'er held his hand and felt that his hand was cold, as cold as holding a piece of ice.
"Where are we going?" Yan'er asked.
"Go down the river and find a place where you don't have to worry about food and clothing." Xiaobai replied.
"Well, Xiaobai, I have to give you a name. I can't call you Xiaobai anymore. What name do you want?"
"I don't have to worry about food and clothing." Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "I want to call you Bai Buchou, what about you?"
Yan'er smiled and said: "Then my name will be Bai Yan, Bai Bu Chou's Bai, Bai Bu Chou's Yan'er."
Bai Buchou and Bai Yan went all the way down the river and arrived at a small town called Wangchuan. With the money and jewelry Bai Yan brought, they bought a small house and set up a steamed bun stall.
Although the small house is not as luxurious as the red bricks and gray tiles of the small building, it is still sturdy and can protect it from the cold and heat.
The steamed bun stall is not a big restaurant like Sheng Hezhai, but the two of them are diligent and frugal, so they have enough to eat.
The days are getting better day by day, and sometimes the Bai family couple feels that Tianlaizi may really be taken care of by God, but Bai Yan is good-looking, Bai Buchou is handsome, and they are strangers from out of town. Rumors
Rumors are always inevitable.
"Boss boss, your steamed buns are quite white. Are they whiter, you or the steamed buns?" a man with a mustache said with a lewd look on his face.
Bai Yan didn't say much: "Three Wen and one steamed bun."
"Are these three-cent steamed buns from the pot?" the wretched man said, his eyes moving up and down.
Every time at this time, Bai Buchou stood up, blocked Bai Yan behind him, and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I can't speak. How many steamed buns do you want? Our steamed buns are soft and delicious."
, I added a lot of eggs here, how many do you want?"
When the wretched man saw Bai Buchou come out, he was heartbroken. He snorted and turned away without shame.
Bai Buchou removed the smile from his face and turned around to rub Bai Yan's shoulders. Although this kind of thing didn't happen every day, it would happen for at least three days out of seven days, and both of them were used to it.
On the street, a middle-aged man with a big belly was patrolling the street with a big tiger-striped dog. Behind him were seven or eight followers and thugs.
The middle-aged man led the dog and wandered all the way. When the people around him saw him, they quickly stepped up their pace and stayed away. They were afraid of the big dog and also the man.
If you are bitten by a dog, you will lose a piece of meat at most, but if you are bitten by a man, you will have to peel off the skin.
But when the man passed by the Baijia steamed bun stall, he didn’t know what happened. Maybe the big dog saw the dog, the dog saw the dog kiss, or maybe he was fascinated by their steamed buns. The big dog stood upright.
He rushed into Bai's steamed bun stall and devoured the entire basket of steamed buns.
Bai Yan had never seen this scene before, and she was so frightened that her eyes filled with tears.
Bai Buchou stared at the dog and protected Bai Yan behind him, hoping that the big dog would finish eating and leave with its owner. His intuition told him that this person was more difficult to mess with than the dog.
The middle-aged man with a big belly didn't stop his big dog from eating other people's steamed buns, but even stood aside and laughed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Bai Yan from the corner of his eye, and he felt as if his soul had been taken away.
