Chapter 73
Chapter 73
"Boss, boss?"
Early the next morning, Hu Gua called Lu Han softly outside through the old window lattice.
Judge Lu quickly gave him a deadly wink through the translucent window paper, and jumped out of the room in his pajamas.
"Is uncle still sleeping?"
"You don't care about this."
Lu Han put his panda eyes on his face and said listlessly.
"Master, take care of your health, may I find you some deer antlers?"
"Shut up, it's not what you think."
Zhang Shu saw his Baidu question yesterday, and received a whole night of education on the concept of protecting personal privacy. He looks so handsome when he looks serious, a bit like the one in the pretender...
"Master, sir?"
"Ah? Oh, tell me." Lu Han found himself caught in an uncontrollable flirt, and quickly forced himself to recover.
"Xiao Hei replied to us. It's so strange. The place where the last male corpse stayed was not the various crenels and business shops of the Qi family. It can be said that it has nothing to do with the Qi family."
"Don't keep it up, where is it?"
"Eight Great Alleys."
"what?"
"My lord, it's the Bada Hutong you're thinking about now."
"Don't...don't talk nonsense, I didn't think about it."
Will it be there?The distributing center of the weathered places in the imperial capital in the old society, why did the young boy from the Qi family go there, and did he die in that place, does it have any special meaning?
"Master, don't be guilty. You haven't spent money before. What are you afraid of?"
"That's true, can you guess the exact location?"
"Well, Xiao Hei drew a map for me, master, should we go and have a look? It's just that you want to go to that kind of place, will my uncle not be willing?"
"Which kind of place, why would I not want to?"
The master and servant were chattering and plotting, when they heard a cold voice behind them, a ghost and a fox shuddered, and turned around with a smile on their faces.
"Are you awake? I'm going to grind soybean milk and fry pancakes for you."
Lu Han laughed, and walked towards the kitchen with crabbed steps.
"Okay, I'll help you out."
Without saying a word, Zhang Shu raised his heel and walked in.
"Boss, you can ask for blessings. I went to the street to drink soybean juice when I was young."
Hugua prayed devoutly in his heart, and fled with his tail between his legs.
……
"Hey, Zhang Shu, stand a little farther away, don't get your clothes dirty."
Lu Han deftly poured a few pancakes into the oil pan, and stretched out his hand to block Zhang Shu.
Zhang Shu stood a little further away, looking at Lu Han's big man wearing an apron, not to mention how cute he was.
"The soy milk is boiled, I'll put a bowl, you drink it while it's hot."
"Don't worry, I'm not hungry yet."
Lu Han reached out and opened the lid of the casserole, mixed a little honey into it, and poured the hot soybean milk into a clean glass, milky white, just looking at it can arouse people's appetite.
After a while, the pancakes were ready to be fried, and the two of them sat opposite each other at the small table in the tea room, eating a simple and unadorned breakfast.
"Is there any news about that boy from the Qi family?"
"Uh, um."
"It's in Bada Hutong? Why don't you want to let me know."
"Ah, that is."
Lu Han didn't know what to say. After all, Zhang Shu was a child of the Zhang family outside the pass. He always protected him too closely. I don't know if it would hurt his self-esteem.
"It's like this, because the prostitutes in the past were very bitter, so that kind of place is not clean, and there is a lot of resentment. I don't want you to take risks."
"Is that so? Make it sound like you know the business well."
"Well."
Zhang Shu just wanted to tease him, but Lu Han's face turned purple, as if someone had told him something, and he avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience.
Lu Han is innocent, no one knows him better than Zhang Shu, but this does not mean that he has no previous relationship experience, isn't Lilith a good example?
Zhang Shu didn't know if he wanted to know this out of jealousy or possessiveness, but he just cared about his past and future, he wanted to know everything about this man.
"Is it when you were in the military camp? Have you seen military prostitutes?"
"Uh, um."
Lu Han nodded embarrassedly.
In the army of that era, there was a place called "Red Curtain" every few camps. Lu Han knew what kind of business was done there. A woman who is old and decrepit because of money, came here to do business in response to the imperial court's call.
"I know a woman, just outside our barracks, not far away, she...is about my mother's age, because she has no strength, people always bully her."
Lu Han beat up those soldiers who didn't pay for nothing. The woman thanked him and said that she could visit her without spending money, but Lu Han didn't go.
"I talked to her once, and I knew that she had two children in her hometown, and it seemed that she was about to go to a private school. Later, we left the camp and never saw her again."
It is difficult for women who are old and in poor health to keep up with the speed of the marching camp. They may set up red tents on the side of the road, waiting for the arrival of the next wave of troops, and some women even have to fight against the enemy in order to survive. The military business also needs to be done.
"When you were young, it was normal to be interested in women."
"No, I didn't think about that kind of thing at that time. That woman looks a bit like my mother. I can't stand others bullying her."
Zhang Shu drank soy milk, pursed his lips, and reached out to pat Lu Han's head.
"I will go with you."
……
"Here, this is here. Baishun Hutong, Yanzhi Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shanxi Lane, Shitou Hutong, Wang Widow Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, and Li Shamao Hutong, there are eight in total. You can't go wrong."
Liu Ling walked in the front, like a living fossil of the custom store in the imperial capital, explaining the history of the Eight Great Hutongs to the other three like a few treasures.
"Hehehe, how do you understand it so clearly? Did you come to play in your previous life? Master." Hu Gua rolled his eyes and said eccentrically.
"This... how is this possible? I am also an innate person who became a monk and cultivated the Tao."
"Oh, really? Do you want me to play back the audio from last night?"
"No... no need."
Liu Ling stopped with a guilty conscience. Seeing Hu Gua's awkwardness, he hurriedly explained.
"Isn't this my craft? Waiting for you to spend your life basically relying on fortune-telling and word reading. This place is very shady, and there are many women who die in vain every year. They often come back to find you. The old bustard settles old scores, so I usually hang out in this place."
"Hmph, well, I'll trust you for now, by the way, is this place really so evil?"
"That's natural. These skilled women are not voluntary like some girls are now. In that feudal era, people who could survive a little would want to dirty their ancestors for eighteen generations to do this kind of thing. It's a low-level activity, once you become a member of music, you will never get rid of it for life, and there is no way to clean it up."
Liu Ling sighed. In the old society alone, he helped people solve hundreds of cases of evil spirits. Some were forced to death by the bustard; She finally became good, but was slowly manipulated to death by the aunts and concubines of the husband's house. The appearance of her death was also varied, whether it was lively or not, it was really a crime.
"It's so serious."
In the middle of the night, when Hu Gua heard this, the fox fur all over his body stood up, and his small body shrank into Liu Ling's arms.
"So, they are also pitiful? You have been in contact with so many, have you never had a special object?"
"Hugua, I, Liu Ling, treat you like a jade!"
"Hey, how do you explain the matter of your ex-girlfriend, isn't she pregnant?"
"Didn't you say that on purpose so as not to reveal your identity? Besides, you inspected the goods after we got back together, and I gave you all of your nine tails that night..."
"Bah, bah, bah! Shameless, are the boss and uncle still here?"
Zhang Shu looked at Hu Gua and Liu Ling flirting with great interest. They had known each other much longer than he and Lu Han. Becoming less and less respectful.
"Ah?"
The broad beans, which have been working hard to grow up these days, suddenly popped out without warning for some reason. The child has obviously gained a lot of weight, and even Zhang Shu's body can already feel its existence a little bit, because the parents Having finally had a skin-to-skin relationship, Broad Bean is developing towards a positive fetus at a very fast speed.
"Ahhh."
It stretched out its fat and white claws, and pointed to the depths of the alley ahead.
"That's Hanjiatan." Liu Ling said.
"How could the broad bean be interested there, it..."
Just halfway through Zhang Shu's words, he understood why.
Because in the depths of that alley, a trace of graceful singing faintly floated out.
"There is a mother of mine whose way is far away;
The mother who leads the family stays close and she won't give me this dish of money.
Helplessly, I came to the courtyard in a whirlwind;
Seeing my mother-in-law who leads the family speaks up.
Baby I'm gonna live and use me as a cash cow;
Die in that underworld cold and not give us clothes to wear. "
