Snow Chihiro

==========================

"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March. The solitary sail is far away, the blue sky is gone, and the sky of the Yangtze River is flowing." The river is flooded, and a large ship is sailing along the current, and the clear and clear voice comes from the ship.Immediately followed by a rough voice of a big man: "Good poems! Good poems! Right...Young Master, you have a good literary talent!"

The boss of the boat couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, which caused everyone on the boat to burst into laughter.Hearing the loud laughter, the big man glared viciously around, and was hit on the head by a folding fan unexpectedly.Seeing him looking at him wronged, Dongfang Li felt annoyed and amused at the same time: "You're so ignorant, you make everyone laugh at me."

The big man was even more aggrieved when he heard the words, "Although the old bear doesn't understand the literati, he still thinks this poem is good. Why is it making people laugh?"

Dongfang Li hit him again, "This is Li Taibai's poem, but you added it to my head, isn't it a joke?"

Xiong Ju didn't dare to argue again when he heard the words, he rubbed his head and hid a little before muttering in a low voice: "What Li Taibai, I think you are still Dongfang Taibai."

With the high level of Dongfang Li's martial arts, of course he would not be able to hear this voice, but he didn't bother to hit him again. Standing on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, seeing the vastness of the Yangtze River, he felt very relaxed. People say that Jiangnan is more than soft but not aggressive. , but with such a vast river, how can there be no heroes?This Nujiaojiang must have some strength to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and participate in water transportation.

Thinking about it this way, I saw a big ship in front of me going against the trend, and the third floor of the cabin was obviously a wealthy family.She has very good eyesight, she saw the dragon pattern floating on the big flag with her sharp eyes, but she didn't speak, just squinted.There were about a hundred people on board, all wearing weapons and walking vigorously, but they were a little loose.She observed carefully, the boat was also approaching, the boss of the boat trembled with fright when he saw the Jiaolong flag, he quickly called for someone, prepared a letter of silver and put it in his arms.

Dongfang Li pretended to be puzzled, and asked: "I don't know who is on that boat, this is you?"

"Young Master is a foreigner, and that boat is the lead ship of the Nujiao Gang. There are three ships in the whole gang, and only the gang leader and elders can ride." He said with a bitter face, "I don't know who is on that boat. Alright, if there are less gang leaders, you will have to ask for two sets of money, and this trip will be in vain."

Seeing this, Dongfang Li asked again: "The Nujiao Gang is very domineering? Who is the leader of the Young Gang?"

"The Nujiao Sect is one of the three giants on the river, so they are powerful. The old man's boat can be taken care of under their name, and it is necessary to give some money. This young gang leader is the eldest son of the Nujiao Sect leader. He is very... Very heroic." Halfway through his speech, he quickly changed his words when he picked up the string, and greeted him with a smile on his face. Dongfang Li watched him go to the boat over there, and listened to the sound with his ears held. "Old man Xu, do you have the money ready?"

The old man Xu bent down again and again to answer, took out a letter of silver and handed it up, and said something nice and handed over a smaller bag, "Buy wine with all the strong men."

Seeing his sense of humor, the other party didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Today, the young master is in high spirits, and I don't bother to see you anymore, so go ahead."

At this moment, a low "ah" sound entered Dongfang Li's ears. The sound was very small, but it contained endless pain, and it caught her attention instantly.Just as he was wondering, he heard a bang, and the window on the third floor of the ship was smashed open, exposing half of his white and tender body.Dongfang Li suddenly looked up, and saw an enchanting woman with her hands bound, her slender waist stuck on the window, but her upper body was hanging out of the window with nothing to support her, her figure was not proud, But so thin that people want to protect and bully.Because of this posture, she could only see her side face, her straight nose, her closed eyes, the sweat of enduring pain or humiliation, and...the charming smile on her thin lips.

"That's not..." Someone yelled in surprise, and was covered by the person next to him.Dongfang Li looked back and saw that he had calmed down and lowered his head and sighed: "It fell into Young Master Shen's hands... oh..."

The person next to him said: "It's not the first time, what a pity you are, if you like it, just save some money and go to the Moon Tower. Don't shout and kill a whole boat."

The man stopped making a sound after hearing this, and no one dared to look up, but Dongfang Li didn't care. Seeing the girl being dragged back again, he listened carefully to the panting of more than one man inside, and then he withdrew his attention. Xiong Ju was still staring at that side in a daze.Tap him with a folding fan, "I'm back to my senses."

"Ah? Yes." Xiong Ju was not ashamed, and said with a shy smile, "Master, I have been on the road for several days, and I, Old Xiong..."

"Come on, look at you, you are really unyielding to your name. There are so many beautiful people in Yangzhou, you are indispensable, and you can do things more neatly for me." She caught a glimpse of old man Xu coming back, and sat down in her seat. The woman just now The appearance of his body flashed in front of his eyes again, the appearance of this body is not bad, if he hadn't dressed up as a man, if he hadn't had this skill, would he have ended up like that?If not... not much better.She provoked a sneer, Xiong Ju shivered, obediently stuffed her huge body into the small chair, and remained motionless.

It was already evening when they arrived in Yangzhou, and the two of them went to the inn and slept in the city.This time, the two of them traveled by water first, a few days earlier than her subordinates, so she also checked the situation first.After dinner, Xiong Ju couldn't sit still, and looked at Dongfang Li pitifully with his big eyes, trying to squeeze out a little bit of light.

Dongfang Li knew what he was thinking, looked ridiculous, but shook his head helplessly, "Let's go."

"Hey! Young master is really...really..." Xiong Juda was overjoyed, turned his ears and scratched his cheeks but couldn't say any words of praise, but saw Dongfang Li looking at him with a half-smile, his old face blushed, and he choked out a sentence: "It's really great!" Good man!"

Dongfang Li couldn't help laughing at his boast, she waved her fan like a romantic, and asked the little girl where the "most bustling" street was that night.

Xiaoer smiled knowingly, pointed to the place, saw that she was born well and dressed in style, and kindly said: "Looking at your style, it's better to go to the Moon Tower by the river, that's the best in Yangzhou city." Building."

Zhaiyue Tower... Dongfang Li carefully tasted these three words, threw some silver coins as a reward, and walked out with Xiong Daju.

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is warm, and the nighttime is much more popular than that in the north. Dongfang Li looked for the way, and saw lights near the river beach, heavy traffic, and among the strings of red lanterns, there were three big characters "Zhaiyuelou".

Xiong Ju behind him was already eager to try, but seeing Dongfang Li strolling leisurely, he had no choice but to obediently follow behind.Walking past the door, there were a few beautiful women and servants standing there. Seeing her delicate features and elegant clothes, she hurriedly greeted her, "My lord, you are so handsome, come in and have a seat."

Dongfang Li dodged her hand and said with a smile: "Mum, don't worry, since I'm here, I won't leave. It's just that I don't know the girls in the building very well when I'm new here, so it's up to my mother to recommend some." She Looking back at Xiong Ju's size, he figured that he would need two or three, so he handed the bustard a silver coin, "Mama please arrange a quiet yard and find three plump and beautiful ones..." She pointed at her face. The anxious Xiong Ju waved his fan and said nothing.

The procuress smiled brightly after receiving the money, and said repeatedly: "I know, I know, please come in quickly, my lord. But tonight is the oiran's performance once a month, and Shang Erqi, a Qing servant, is playing the piano. Go to the yard or..."

Dongfang Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Then mother will find a box with a better location for me, and mother's money is indispensable." The old bustard was very pleased when he heard it, and he knew that these young masters who thought they were handsome young men liked this room. set.She didn't know that Dongfang Li had a headache for a while, seeing that she happened to be put under the ladder, he was very happy.

"My lord..." Xiong Ju continued to feel wronged.

Dongfang Li tapped his head as if he had just thought of him, "Mom will take him to the yard first, and find some girls to accompany him."

After getting rid of Xiong Ju's follower, this side is much freer, and Dongfang Li's generous hand is naturally assigned a good seat, accompanied by two beautiful girls, one on the left and the other on the right, feeding food and wine, which can be described as a blessing for everyone.Dongfang Li has long been used to such occasions, and he has learned how to enjoy the show well. He put one hand on the girl's waist, lowered his head and drank half a glass of wine, and then heard the sound of silk and bamboo from below, and the noisy downstairs gradually quieted down. down.

She heard the melody was elegant, and the sound of the qin was very familiar, she got up and looked down, and it really was Shang Erqi, who is known as the number one young lady in the south of the Yangtze River.She has seen this woman several times, and she knows who her backstage is. After all, it is not enough to rely on talent alone to be able to walk in and out of the world with a beautiful appearance.

At the end of the song, the old bustard came up, praised Shang Erqi on the stage and everyone in the audience, and happily announced that the oiran will perform tonight. .Dongfang Li saw that the oiran was dressed in white, with cold eyes, very beautiful but with an elegant and noble temperament, when he met everyone, he just gave a light salute and didn't say a word.She knew it was brothel's trick to seduce people, and she had seen it a lot before, but somehow she felt a sense of disappointment. She put one arm around the girl beside her, and looked out aimlessly, but her eyes froze...

is her.

The woman I saw in the morning seemed to have regained her vitality at this moment, and she took a glass of wine and carefully brought it to the mouth of the man next to her, "Master," she called out in a charming voice, "You drink."

The man pushed her away impatiently, staring greedily at the smiling girl downstairs who was dressed in white like snow.Then she tilted her head to look at the woman next to her who was sprinkled with wine but still smiled charmingly, and said playfully, "Xue Ji, I think you need to change your name. But your charming style doesn't quite match this name. "When he said that, Xue Ji was not annoyed, she still had a coquettish smile on her face, and said softly: "It is what the master says."

The man pulled her roughly, stretched his head to take a deep breath on her neck, and sneered, this Xue Ji is one of the four red cards in the Yueyue Tower, and she has the best body, but he has been playing for half a year, but he is a little tired , he cast his eyes on Xiao Yanran below, obviously challenging things attracted his eyes more.He turned his head from this side, but he didn't see Xue Ji who was half a step behind her side who was relieved. This young master Shen's way of playing with women is really...cruel. Still in pain, she can no longer serve tonight, she bit her lip, determined to go further. "Master, don't look down now." He leaned on Shen Ao's shoulder from behind, his fragrant shoulders were half exposed, his smooth and tender body rubbed gently, and his lilac tongue rubbed against Shen Ao's neck.Shen Ao's whole body was shocked, and a ball of fire arose in his heart, but he was determined to win Xiao Yanran downstairs tonight, so he naturally wanted to cultivate his health and rest in one fell swoop.Impatiently avoiding Xue Ji, he looked at her silky winking eyes coldly, "Go down, you don't have to come if you don't order in the future."

Xue Ji seemed to be very surprised, her eyes were clouded with mist instantly, "Master, you...Master..."

Shen Ao was even annoyed to see her like this, but she was a brothel girl with red lips, and she had followed many people before him, and she still wanted him to marry her and go home? "Reward her with money and let her go down."

The man who had been standing silently in the corner of the room inserted a bank note in response, and pushed Xue Ji out.As soon as the compartment door was closed, Xue Ji wiped the corners of her eyes, smiled slightly, looked at the number on the bank note in her hand and stuffed it into her bosom with satisfaction, others probably didn't know that Young Master Shen didn't want her today, no one dared to point her, You can take a rest, and was about to go back to the room, but saw the old bustard rushing over, seeing her bright smile, "Hey Xue Ji, why did you come out?"

"Master Shen asked my daughter to go back to the room first."

The old bustard also knew that Shen Ao was staring at Xiao Yanran, so she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Young Master Shen..."

Xue Ji pretended to be wronged, "Go back to mother, Master Shen may not want his daughter to serve him in the future."

The old bustard was overjoyed when she heard this, and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Xue Ji, there is a richer master waiting for you over there." She took out a silver ingot: "Look, this is not a big deal, so I tipped you 20 taels .Then I have taken a fancy to you, you are really mother's cash cow."

Xue Ji was also surprised by this man's attack when she heard it, but she was teased by the Shen brothers for two days, and she was given a good meal this morning. She is coquettish in her fear, and the 200 taels in her arms are enough to live a good life for a while. "Mom, you also know Mr. Shen... I'm afraid guests will be displeased with my daughter's body." The old bustard heard the same thing. The women who have been played by Shen Ao are not covered in scars, so they insist on resting for a month. That's good, it's very rare for Xue Ji to come out like this.She thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll let Yingying go. You can go back and rest."

Xue Ji's heart finally fell to the ground, she thanked her and slowly moved towards her room. Shen Ao hurt her hard, and each step seemed to be torn apart.Before she moved back into the house, she was stopped by the old bustard. Turning around, the beautiful woman looked embarrassed, "My good daughter, it's not that mother doesn't love you, it's just that the young master insisted on pointing at you, so you should follow mother. I saw that young master Born elegant and handsome, I will definitely take pity on you.

So pity, why force?Xue Ji lowered her head to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, and then raised her head full of obsequiousness. "Just as my mother said. But my daughter's clothes are dirty and I have to change them."

The old bustard hurriedly said: "Just change it in this room, I'll ask someone to fetch it."
