Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

"Wow! Bai..." Yu Mo opened his mouth wide, and stared at the two people in front of him dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhan would speak for Bai Yutang!

"Rain ink!"

Yan Chasan gently put down his chopsticks, his tone became more serious, and he interrupted Yu Mo.Bai Yutang smiled at him proudly and continued to comment on the new dishes with Zhan Zhao, while Ren Xingluo was tactful from the beginning and didn't interrupt, and sat quietly at the table after eating two bowls of rice.

After dinner, a group of people went downstairs. It was more than three hours before the troupe opened. There were several wooden boats parked under the Jiuxian Building. Unlike the flower boats, this kind of wooden boats only received guests during the day, and they were much simpler. , only one table and a few benches.Yu Mo stepped forward to discuss the price with the uncle who punted the boat, and several people boarded the boat one by one and planned to swim around Kaifeng.

"Some days I haven't been with Maoer Bianhe, brother Yan has been promoted several times in recent years, and is Master Bao's favorite student, why is he as lonely as the two of us?"

Downstairs of Jiuxian, the small river has turned a few bends, from the tourist-filled streets to the cold alleys.Bai Yutang suddenly remembered that his four elder brothers who were trapped in the empty island all got married, but this one was always alone.

"Marriage, marriage,? It depends on the fate. Look at Mr. Zhan, a young hero,? It's not that he hasn't married yet." Yan Chasan talked about Zhan Zhao.

"Hey, that cat comes and goes in the wind and rain all year round,? Brother Yan, you are different, a second-rank official, how many girls are waiting to marry."

"Fifth brother is right, but you are not much younger than me. It's time to ask brother Lu to talk about marriage so you can calm down." Yan Cha nodded, agreed with Bai Yutang, and threw the ball to himself.

"Don't, don't, don't let the elder brother get on with me." Bai Yutang shrank, retreated to Zhan Zhao's side, and took the initiative to end the topic.

Yu Mo had been yelled at by Yan Chasan several times before, and after boarding the boat, he went to Ren Xingluo's place. The two of them were quite different in age, and they had both a pen and a weapon. The truth was speechless.

Uncle Punting had a daughter, and seeing the pleasant scenery around her, she went up to her with her pipa in her arms and asked if she wanted to listen to the music. Bai Yutang was very bored with these things. Although Zhan Zhao was a Confucian man, he only loved swords and swords, so he directly asked Yan Cha San pointed and asked the girl to ask him.Literati, there will always be more romance, Yan Zhasan thought about it, and ordered "Qing Ping Le" for the girl to play and sing on the other side.

This singing, singing until the moon falls on the willow tip.

The most conspicuous in Huahe is probably the troupe in Kaifeng that almost everyone knows. This troupe came here not long ago and rented a place in Huahe Huayuelou, with a performance every night.Before the show started today, many people were waiting outside. A dozen benches were already filled, and many middle-aged people stood at the door with their children and looked inside.

"Cat, let's go. Yumo, look at your young master, don't miss it."

Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao to the main entrance, and asked Ren Xingluo to follow Yan Chasan.That Huayuelou Xiaoer is a fine person, when he saw Zhan Zhao, he hurriedly pushed the guests in front of him and ran to them, "Long time no see, you two, are you here to see Liu's class tonight?", Liu's class is The name of the theatrical troupe, Zhan Zhao heard the name, guessed that the troupe's surname was Liu?

"You don't have to worry about Mr. Zhan and I, here, just lead him in and find a place to sit in the lobby."

Bai Yutang tapped his fan, pointing at Yan Zhasan and Yu Mo and Ren Xingluo who were looking around.

"Yes Yes!"

Yan Chasan doesn't often show up here, Xiao Er only regards him as Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang's friend.Naturally, Bai Yutang would not watch a show in Huayue Tower peacefully, so he pulled Zhan Zhao straight in, and within a few leaps he reached the pavilion on the top floor.

Yan Chasan and the others asked for a more conspicuous seat in the lobby so that Bai Yutang and the others would not be seen when they came back.

"dong dong dong"

The waiter downstairs took the gong and knocked it four or five times on the stage, and the mixed voices from the audience immediately quieted down.Zhan Zhao turned over and sat on the railing leaning against the pillar, one leg arched and the other fell to the floor.Bai Yutang pulled the fan aside and put his arm slightly on Zhan Zhao's knee. The two of them happened to be at the back and upper part of the stage, and they could see what the audience couldn't see clearly.

"The first juggling in Liu's class is about to start, fellow folks! I won't say much about the rules, everyone knows it, and the next one will start!"

Xiao Er walked around the field, and arrived after the crowd had completely quieted down.

It was also the first time for Yan Chasan to see this novelty. Both Yu Mo and Ren Xingluo were influenced by the spectators, so they unconsciously put down their teacups and stared at the stage intently.

I saw Xiao Er stepping off the stage, and a woman in very revealing clothes who obviously didn't look like the Central Plains appeared on the stage, and the audience immediately burst into cheers.

"In broad daylight..." Bai Yutang moved his fan to cover Zhan Zhao's eyes, "You can't spoil the cat."

"Huh? Yutang," Zhan Zhao poked the fan bone with his fingers, and pushed it aside to see the woman's hand movements.

The two watched for a while, and almost figured out the trick. The main reason for the trick was that Yu Kuaihe and the audience had a small range of sight.

"It's boring, cat, let's go and have a drink with your fifth master!"

Bai Yutang climbed down the railing, went to the window and took a look outside. The Huayue Tower was five stories high. Standing on the top of the building, one could overlook half of Kaifeng. As summer approached, red and green paper lanterns and flowers flowed in the Huahe River. painting boat.

Zhan Zhao also followed him to make trouble, grabbed the window frame with his right hand, stepped on it, and flew out of the window with his whole body, and then climbed up the stairs with the help of the tiles, Bai Yutang followed.It was separated by a wall, and there was a lot of silence in an instant, and the vulgar aroma in the nose also disappeared.

"Cat, you wait!"

Bai Yutang threw the fan to Zhan Zhao, and it flew down the raised eaves like a swallow. Zhan Zhao sat by the side and watched him walk to the old man's stall, pick and choose the two jars, and when he turned around, he was caught by the side again. Attracted by the girl selling fireworks, she chose several and stuffed them into her cuffs. In the end, she looked up as if in agreement, and made eye contact with Zhan Zhao.

"Cat..."

Bai Yutang said something in his heart, but he didn't utter it. At this moment, the wind is clear and the moon is white. Behind Zhan Zhao is a bridge of fire trees and stars. The dark red uniform is not conspicuous, and it blends into the tiles in the night. Slightly messy, dancing with the wind.

Bai Yutang looked a little lost in thought, and didn't wake up until he was hit by two or three children playing.

"Give."

Zhan Zhao took it over and saw that it wasn't Chen Shao who often drank.

"Mingyue, Qingfeng, you and me, fairy mash. Should it be the scene?" Bai Yutang uncovered the red cloth, and held the wine jar with both hands to drink it.

"Cat, Sky Trapped Island has never been so lively..."

Zhan Zhao just looked at him without saying a word. When he finished drinking, Bai Yutang took out the fireworks from his bosom, "My brother let me off before, hey..."

Each of the firework was finger-long and wrapped in bamboo branches. Zhan Zhao took one from his hand, blew on the torch and lit it, and with a whoosh sound, a beam of flame rushed out and exploded into the sky.

"Give it to me," Zhan Zhao took everything from Bai Yutang, stood up and leaped forward. Huayue Tower was surrounded by long lines, with lanterns hanging on it, connecting with the lower roof below.

Before Bai Yutang asked about it, he saw the cat landed on one of the lanterns, lit the fireworks, then jumped to the second lantern, and continued to light it until it made a complete circle, and all the stocks in its hand were ignited.Bai Yutang's eyes moved along with the fireworks, watching the bunches go off and rising again, and Zhan Zhao carrying the jade hooks on his back, as if he was stepping on the moon.

Many people downstairs in Huayue were attracted by the figure just now. Bai Yutang leaned on the tiles and could hear the exclamation from below, and then looked up at Zhan Zhao, jokingly said, "Master Mao, I am afraid that this method will disappear in a few days." It can be compiled into a book by a storyteller and let the whole city of Kaifeng know."

"Why did Yutang make fun of me again? All Zhan wants is to make you laugh."

"Hey, cat, your words are getting better and better! Fifth Master, if I were a woman, I might immediately invite a matchmaker to come to my door."

Bai Yutang had one leg crossed and the other straight, and the white fan touched Zhan Zhao's shoulder. The two breathed similarly, but their every move was free and easy.

"Go, go down and see how brother Yan and Xingxiao are doing."

The two sat close to each other, drank the white wine in their hands a few times, Zhan Zhao got up, stretched out his hand towards Bai Yutang, and both of them jumped into the window frame just now, the troupe inside was still going on, but it was replaced by men During the performance of swallowing the long sword, half of the spectators around walked away, perhaps because there was nothing left.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang jumped down from the pillars behind them again, breaking through the crowd with cleverness, and walked to Yanchasan's table.

"Fifth brother, you are finally back."

Yan Chasan watched half of it and felt bored, but searched around but couldn't find Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, so he had to eat melon seeds to pass the time.

"Master, you missed the show! Let me tell you..."

Ren Xingluo opened his mouth, and the excitement hadn't passed yet. As soon as Zhan Zhao sat down, he leaned over and told everything from the beginning of the girl performing tricks to just now.

Bai Yutang was irritated by the bursts of applause inside. He leaned on the table and closed his eyes to rest his mind while stuffing dried fruit into his mouth. Finally, when the plate was almost finished, the stage above ended.On the other hand, Zhan Zhao let Xingxiao explain everything without interrupting, just nodded in agreement.

Xiao Er took the gong up and went up "dong dong dong" for a turn, and then came down to receive a circle of rewards. Zhan Zhao took out a penny from his sleeve, but the Xiao Er didn't dare to ask for it, and said straightly, "Master Zhan can come!" For the blessings of Huayuelou, just pay for the ticket, and nothing else is needed."

Zhan Zhao didn't force it either, he only went out with the other four people after collecting the money again and waiting for the crowd to disperse.

There were more than a dozen supper stalls gathered by the Huahe River, Ren Xingluo bought a candied haws, Yan Zhasan naturally didn't like these, Bai Yutang and Yu Mo asked for a root and ate it as they walked.

"Come here, cat, take a bite." Bai Yutang took a bite, then handed the skewer to Zhan Zhao, "It's very sweet."

Zhan Zhao was skeptical, usually Bai Yutang told him it was good, but nine times out of ten it was bad, so he prepared himself to be sour and prepared to bite him down, but it didn't happen.Bai Yutang laughed loudly and threw the rest into the river.Yan Chasan was just wondering, when did his fifth younger brother get so close to Zhan Zhao, and didn't they chase after him before?Or have I missed something for too long?

"Stop beating you! Stop! Stop!"

A group of people were about to walk back, but when they passed by a restaurant, they saw three or four strong men surrounding two young men dressed as scholars, and wanted to make a move.
