The tall and strong man suddenly cried out in pain, curled up and covered his crotch, with a ferocious look on his face.
The companions were shocked and hurriedly picked up the man and ran to the hospital.
Xia Houzhi picked up the tea bowl slowly and suddenly felt a thoughtful gaze.
She raised her head slightly, doubts flowing in her eyes, as if she had an innocent expression.
Duan Chuiwen didn't say anything, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
At the next table, Yuzhi turned his wrist as if nothing had happened and continued to eat.
There were so many people in this place, but the waiter didn't seem to be surprised. He quickly cleared the tables and welcomed a new batch of customers.
At this time, another conversation came from not far away.
“I’ve never seen what good stuff there is on Water Street!”
"The newly opened ones are quite good. Could it be that Brother Qian has something else to recommend?"
"of course."
Upon hearing this, the fellow travelers quickly filled their glasses with wine and acted as if they were all ears.
The middle-aged man who spoke had weather-beaten marks on his face, but a hint of arrogance could still be seen in his brows. He took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Although Bianzhou is not a big place, it has great geographical advantages. In recent years, it has attracted more and more people.
More and more merchants are coming and using this place as a transit point."
"When there are more idle people, there will naturally be endless ways to entertain people. However, no matter which one, it can't compare to the Flower Flower House, which makes people forget to come back."
"Shihualou? Why haven't you heard of it?"
The middle-aged man sneered, showing disdain: "Of course you haven't heard of it. How can ordinary people enter that place? Just to enter the building, you have to hand in this number first." As he said that, he raised a hand.
.
"Five taels?"
"Huh?" The sneer suddenly got louder, "I'm dreaming! It's five hundred taels!"
The fellow travelers were dumbfounded and gasped: "You haven't done anything, so you have to pay so much?"
The middle-aged man raised his head and drank the glass of wine, his face flushed and blurred, and his eyes looking forward were full of nostalgia and yearning.
"When my business was booming, I went there once. It was really... Wow, there is nothing you can't think of. It's so wonderful to be there and enjoy the bliss..."
"Master..." Li Si was about to say something, but was stopped by a look, and he had to suppress his words.
Duan Chuiwen put down his bamboo chopsticks and looked at the young man opposite who was holding his chin and looking amused.
"Are you full?"
"Huh?" Xia Houzhi came back to her senses as if waking up from a dream, and said hurriedly, "I'm full, I'm full."
Having said that, he put down his tea bowl and ran straight out the door. He was walking so fast that he obviously didn't want to wait any longer.
Duan Chuiwen stood up and lowered his eyes, and then he noticed that the food in front of the other party was just touched randomly a few times, without even taking a bite, and even the tea was not reduced much.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, grabbed Li Si who was following closely behind, took off the purse from his waist and handed it over, and explained a few words.
"Huh? You..."
"Go ahead."
"Oh." Capt. Li reluctantly walked towards the kitchen.
When we returned to the boat, the moon had already climbed up the willow branches, passing through a few dark clouds, emitting a hazy silver light.
Xia Houzhi lazily leaned on the small couch, seemingly reading the secret letters sent from the capital, but in fact he kept his ears open to pay attention to the movement outside the door.
When the sound of "beep" came into my ears, I immediately dropped the letter and walked to the small table to sit down.
The beaded curtain of the inner bed was lifted up, and the fish gills and the leopard tail approached one after the other.
Leopard Wei put down the exquisite food box in his hand and said while serving dishes: "This place looks prosperous, but in fact it's not that great. There are no sea cucumbers and no deer tendons. As for the grass and tongue, the store owner actually said
I’ve never even heard of it. Hey, Master, you can make do with it.”
