Stage [Republic of China]

His face was full of pot ashes, he washed his hair seriously and took a shower.Before leaving the house, I thought about it, then went back to the house, and changed into a cheongsam I got from a pawn shop.These days, he has quite a lot of experience in pretending to be a woman. He gathered the wig around his shoulders, and lightly brushed off the folds of the cheongsam, thinking that if he worked hard, at least no one would be able to recognize him anymore.

That night, around six or seven o'clock, Shui Jiu walked back and forth along the most prosperous Gulou Avenue in Jingxi Prefecture.Whenever you see a rice shop, you always have to take a few glances.But he forgot that he was disguised as a woman, and he was wearing a half-worn floral cheongsam. Looking around like this, he fell into the eyes of the idlers next to him, but he was a wanderer standing on the street looking for customers.

As soon as he reached the corner of Gulou Avenue and Lanhui Road, a wretched man in a felt hat suddenly grabbed his arm. "Hey, how much is it for one night?"

Shui Jiu was taken aback.

The man grinned again, showing his big yellow teeth. "Don't pretend, I know you are selling it, how much is it?"

Shui Jiu was furious, shook her arms vigorously, shook off the man in the felt hat and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, the man was chasing after him closely, as fast as Shui Jiu walked, the man followed him, yelling dirty and dirty words constantly in his mouth.

Shui Jiu was extremely annoyed in his heart, he washed off the pot ashes right now, Xia Fei's face was immediately covered with cold white skin.The man in the felt hat saw his appearance from a distance, and couldn't walk anymore, and shouted: "Hey, isn't it just for sleeping money, why are you walking so fast? I'm afraid that someone here will recognize you , or are you afraid that I will renege on my debt after sleeping?"

Shui Jiu was in a hurry.

This time he walked quickly, crossing the streets and alleys, completely forgetting that this is not Jibei City, but the strange Jingxi Mansion.Now he climbed over the wall and crossed the alley, he didn't know where he was going, and looked at the shop in front of him from a distance, which was still lit, just like the water line he used to board.

Shui Jiu didn't have time to think about it, and immediately pushed the door, but unexpectedly the door was locked from the inside.The man in the felt hat was already chasing after him, clapping his hands behind him and laughing loudly, he said, "Why are you running? Can I really lose your sleeping money?"

"Pooh!"

Shui Jiu turned her head and spat viciously, before she had time to think about it, she climbed up the low wall with both hands, climbed to the top of the wall after a few rubs, and then jumped down.It was pitch black in the yard, but it was the shop in front that was lighting the lights, he was the one who misread it just now.

As soon as Shui Jiu landed, he heard a deep male voice suddenly sounded from the courtyard.

"Who?"

No, wrong way.

Shui Jiu was startled, and subconsciously took out a black box gun from her arms.He found this box gun by accident when he was leaving Staff Officer Dong's ship, because the news that General You Banner asked everyone to withdraw troops came too quickly, and everyone left in a hurry, and someone accidentally dropped the box gun on the ship. head.Shui Jiu picked it up at the time, originally intending to hand it over to Staff Officer Dong, but later he fled privately on a whim. When he arrived on the official road, he was sitting in the mule cart and changing clothes with the handlebars, only to find that there was still a gun in his pocket. .

At this moment, in the darkness, Shui Jiu didn't know where the other party came from, subconsciously clenched the box gun with both hands, and remained motionless, with his back stretched straight.

There was the sound of rattling bamboo rocking chairs in the darkness, and then the deep male voice asked again. "Who broke into my Longyu rice shop?"

Broken, turned out to be the corner into the next door.

Shui Jiu's heart skipped a beat at first, and then he let out a sigh of relief.Longyumi's line was only a few steps away from the water line. It seems that he touched the right place after all, but turned over the wrong wall.He just opened his lips to explain, but he didn't want the other party to suddenly light up the lantern and hold it in his hand to shine on his face.

The moment the bright light shone over, Shui Jiu became tense for a moment, and her cold white fingers clasped the trigger of the box gun tightly.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, maybe a quarter of an hour, Shui Jiu finally saw the person in front of him clearly.It turned out that the man had been holding the lantern and hadn't moved.

Eyes met, Shui Jiu was suddenly at a loss.

The man standing opposite wore gold-rimmed glasses, but he was tall and strong, and he would never mistake his wax-colored skin.Ah, it turned out to be that damned Xu Jishan!

Xu Jishan on the opposite side failed to recognize him.He had only seen Shui Jiu with long wavy hair and puff-sleeve whalebone western dress, so he couldn't turn his mind around. He didn't expect that the woman in floral cheongsam pointing at him with a gun in her hand was actually him. Boss Shui who is always thinking of him.

Xu Jishan frowned.

Under the light of a faint horse lamp, the two people looked at each other.Shui Jiu rolled her eyes suddenly, put down the box gun again, lowered her eyes, and said quietly: "I'm offended."

At this time, he was still using the disguised female voice, and his eyebrows were slightly changed.Xu Jishan still failed to recognize him, but frowned and muttered impatiently. "Where did you call? How did you break into my rice store?"

"Ah, I went the wrong way." Shui Jiu answered it as a matter of course, and continued fluently: "I didn't know this was Longyu Rice Shop."

Xu Jishan grew impatient and cast a glance towards the wall. "Is someone chasing you after you?"

Shui Jiu thought for a while, the man in the felt hat who was chasing after him was very vulgar, and he didn't have to be embarrassed when he went out, so he might as well hide here with Xu Jishan.Then nodded, hummed.

Xu Jishan suddenly became nervous, and spoke harshly with a Nanyang accent. "Who are you, are you wanted by the court or is someone hunting you?"

Shui Jiu couldn't help laughing. Just as she was about to say nothing, Xu Jishan sternly said to him: "If you are wanted, hurry up and get out! Don't dirty my place here."

Tsk, the small flame in Shui Jiu's heart suddenly ignited.

"After three days of farewell, you should look at him with admiration. Mr. Xu has really learned how to protect himself wisely." Shui Jiu completely blurted out this sentence, never thinking that with his current appearance, he should not recognize Xu Jishan.He just taunted bitterly: "Since Mr. Xu knows he wants to be wise and protect himself, why is he hiding like a tortoise in the rice shop of Jingxi Mansion, why didn't he hand me over to get the reward?"

"You really are the prisoner who was offered a reward?!" Xu Jishan was furious, with thick eyebrows and high eyebrows, and even the thin gold-rimmed glasses could not hide the anger in his eyes.Just as he was about to raise his hand to have a seizure, he suddenly paused, as if he suddenly remembered it, and asked in surprise, "How do you know me?"

Shui Jiu's mouth twitched.Bad, now he ruined his own play.

It's so good that I can't die, just at this time, the felt hatter's obscene shouts sounded from outside the wall. "Hey, why are you running? Little cousin, how much do you want? No price yet!"

In the dead of night, this voice came over, and every word was clear.Under the light of the lantern, the expressions of Xu Jishan and Shui Jiu changed at the same time.

"It turned out to be a wandering warbler." Xu Jishan showed an indistinct sneer on the corner of her lips, flicked the frame of the thin gold-rimmed glasses with her fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Did you come to me to avoid business?"

Shui Jiu choked with anger, wishing she could kick the scumbag glasses on Xu Jishan's nose on the spot.But he jumped into Xu Jishan's rice shop rashly tonight, and just pointed a gun at Xu Jishan, logically, it was his own fault.

The horse light was not bright, so it could only illuminate him and a small area where he was standing.Shui Jiu lowered her eyelids, and her fingertips hung on the high slit of the cheongsam, convulsing, thinking about how to deal with Xu Jishan, a wolf.Having dealt with him several times in Jibei City before, Shui Jiu felt that with Xu Jishan's pissing nature, he might just take a fancy to it... just fine.

Shui Jiu didn't want to sell her looks to please Xu Jishan.He was thinking about how to get out, but he hated the awkward situation, even if he was covered with mouths, he couldn't speak a single word, and he felt miserable.

That wretched felt hat guest was still shouting outside.Probably drunk, shouted, hiccupped loudly, and yelled desperately again while drinking. "Hey, I said, little cousin, where have you gone?"

The voice of the felt hat guest was getting closer and closer, and he was about to get close to the low wall of Longyu Mihang.

The corners of Shui Jiu's mouth twitched slightly, she subconsciously stood up, her back tensed like a bow.Leng Bai raised his fingers and held down the box gun that had just been put away in his arms.

Seeing his movement, Xu Jishan sneered loudly. "Station.! Street.! Girl with a gun? What is your background?"

This time, he no longer concealed his disdain.

33, 33

◎"Papa Papa, Papa"◎

The drunk felt hatters outside the low wall were still clamoring to find Shui Jiu, and now that Xu Jishan was laughing at him again, Shui Jiu suddenly felt uncomfortable everywhere, so he took out the box gun.

But when he thought about it again, he suddenly dropped his finger, twirled the box gun in his hand, and put it back in his arms in front of Xu Jishan.

"What?" Xu Jishan sneered again. "Don't fight now?"

"What?" Shui Jiu also laughed, and after putting the box gun back into his arms, he took out a pack of foreign cigarettes and a box of matches.

Under the long lantern, his cold white face seemed to be covered in a layer of smoke, and the expression between his brows and eyes was hard to see clearly.With a click, the match was lit, Shui Jiu closed his eyes slightly, and took a long puff. The gray-white cigarette butt trembled on his lips, and then fell down.

Xu Jishan had been looking at him in silence, and suddenly said, "Foreign tobacco is a rare thing."

There was no beginning or end to this sentence, and Shui Jiu didn't bother to talk to him, just closed his eyes, and took another big breath.He didn't flick the ash, and let the gray-white cigarette butt fall powerlessly to the ground after burning out.

"Mr. Xu is really a nobleman who forgets things too much." Shui Jiu finally opened his mouth lightly when the cigarette was almost finished.

"By the way, how do you recognize me?" Xu Jishan opened her eyes and went up
