Scumbag Master Uncle's Whitewashing Road

After Haishi, there are more people on the street.Everyone held a red lantern in their hands, and everyone was smiling.In front of the treetop house, there are all kinds of lotus lanterns, big and small, bright and dark.There are countless people gathered by the lake to put lights on.There is a stall for guessing lantern riddles at the head of the bridge, and if you guess correctly, you will be given a sweet lotus cake.The lantern riddle stand was already full of young girls, and the laughter was like silver bells one after another.A few young women with lanterns chased the naughty children through the crowd, and the sound of laughing, beating and scolding disappeared in the bustling crowd.

Huo Qingfeng strolled among the crowd holding the water purification Buddha lotus, and passers-by on the road all paid attention to him.Seeing the curious or astonished eyes of the girls and women around him, Huo Qingfeng felt complacent, and couldn't help sighing secretly: Have the people in the town never seen a man holding flowers, or a man who is too handsome?

Huo Qingfeng has automatically agreed with the second point, and wants to compare himself with the men around him.Unexpectedly, looking around, the surroundings were all women's army.

Could it be that the deity is so handsome that the men around him feel ashamed and avoid him automatically?With one hand free, he pulled out the Junzi fan at his waist, and Huo Qingfeng grinned at a girl in pink who had been staring at him, which immediately made her cheeks blush.

The girl looked back at Huo Qingfeng in embarrassment, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then looked at him again, her pink lips parted slightly, as if she had something to say.

Huo Qingfeng spent all his time waiting to be accosted by a beautiful woman, but he didn't expect that the woman behind the girl gave him a vigilant look, then pulled the girl, and blamed, "Don't meddle in your own business."

The girl hurriedly lowered her head as if she had done something wrong, followed the woman and disappeared into the crowd.

If you fail to flirt, you will be disgusted by others.Huo Qingfeng was depressed: He doesn't look like a bad guy no matter what!Could it be that he laughed too playfully just now, leaving a bad impression on people?

Standing on the street, Huo Qingfeng looked around and finally realized something was wrong.Among the crowd coming and going, they were all women, not a single man, and even the owners of the stalls on the street were women.Huo Qingfeng felt strange: Is there no man in this town?

Thinking of the waiter in the inn, Huo Qingfeng rejected such an unreliable idea.He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that after dark, few men walked on the street.Thinking of the kind reminder from the store waiter before leaving the house, Huo Qingfeng thought: Is this town a legendary feminist society where men are not allowed to go to the streets after nightfall?

Thinking of this, Huo Qingfeng felt that the gazes from around him were not kind.He touched his nose and decided to respect other people's customs and go back to the inn early to sleep.

Turning a street unknowingly, it seems to have entered another world, and there is a lot of silence in an instant.Compared with the bustling Lantern City, there is not even a single person in this place.Huo Qingfeng looked up, and saw hexagonal palace lanterns hung high on every house in the street, and on the plaques, large and small, such as "Qunfang Building", "Yihong Courtyard", "Caihua Pavilion"...The easy-to-understand names can be seen everywhere .Each plaque is decorated with clusters of flowers, competing for beauty.

Knowing that he most likely stumbled into the legendary "Beijing Eight Great Hutongs" by mistake, Huo Qingfeng couldn't help being a little excited.Like a boy who has never seen the world, he looked around and looked around, wanting to see what the "brothel street" he had only read about in novels was like.

It's a pity that it's different from what I imagined.There is no bustling market, no buildings full of Yingying Yanyan, laughing and laughing.The doors of every brothel are closed tightly, and only through the thin window paper can one see the ambiguous, hazy light burning inside.

Thinking of the strange customs in this town, Huo Qingfeng was not surprised.I thought to myself: If this place is really a feminist society, naturally this kind of place for playing with women will not be allowed to exist.Those who sell themselves in the brothel may be men, and they may not be sure.

Amused by this absurd idea, Huo Qingfeng kept on stepping, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Isn't this Mr. Huo?" An elegant and familiar male voice suddenly came from above his head.

Huo Qingfeng looked up, and saw Jing Yuji leaning against the railing in front of the window and watching.

Unexpectedly meeting him, Huo Qingfeng was taken aback, and then looked at the plaque under Jing Yuji's feet, on which the words "Shihuaguan" were concisely written.

Jing Yuji had already changed out of the dignified Tsing Yi in the restaurant, and put on a coquettish deep-V low-cut gown, with a snow-white haori draped over it, and her long hair let loose casually, making her skin white Blackened, messy and voluptuous.He was leaning lazily by the window, holding a small jar of wine in one hand, his cheeks were reddish, his eyes were blurred, and he seemed to have drunk a lot.

Thinking of his deduction just now, and seeing Jing Yuji's seductive attire, Huo Qingfeng was startled into a sweat, thinking: Is he the young man of the mansion?

He re-looked at the plaque in front of him as if confirming, the simple and rustic style was indeed very different from the surrounding flowers, red willows and greenery.Huo Qingfeng only felt goosebumps all over his body, he didn't even bother to deal with simple entertainment, he just wanted to run away.

"Young Master Jing, what are you looking at?" A coquettish laugh came from behind Jing Yuji, and a pair of soft clothes climbed onto Jing Yuji's shoulders, and then several women with exquisite makeup appeared in the pavilion one after another On top of that, he smiled charmingly at Huo Qingfeng downstairs.Just when a gust of wind blows, the fragrance is overflowing.

Jing Yuji hugged left and right, wandering among thousands of flowers with ease, flirtatious but not obscene, obviously a veteran in love.

Huo Qingfeng maintained a decent smile on his face, and quietly closed his jaw that almost fell to the ground, laughing in his heart that he was thinking too much.

"Mr. Huo, would you like to come up and have a few drinks?" Jing Yuji extended the invitation by raising the wine jar in his hand.

Huo Qingfeng is not so lowly that he wants to go whoring/prostitution, but he really wants to see what the ancient brothels look like.But considering his own identity, he looked at a few enchanting and charming flower girls who had been secretly sent by his eyes. Huo Qingfeng had never had any experience in this area, so he was very uncertain.

As if seeing his concerns clearly, Jing Yuji gestured slightly to the flower girls behind him.The woman who was snuggling up to him unexpectedly obeyed.Without saying much, several people bowed and saluted, then silently withdrew from Huo Qingfeng's sight.

For a while, the street where Yingge was laughing and talking fell silent again, only Huo Qingfeng and Jing Yuji were left looking at each other.

"Brother Han Mo, how about you and I only talking about poetry and painting today?" Jing Yuji stretched out his hand to Huo Qingfeng and extended a sincere invitation.

It took a long time before I realized that the "Brother Han Mo" was calling me.Huo Qingfeng was heartbroken for a while, and seeing that he was so sincere, he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.Huo Qingfeng was about to nod his head in response, when the Water Purification Buddha Lotus in his arms suddenly moved restlessly, as if a gust of wind had blown by suddenly.

Of course Huo Qingfeng knew that there was no wind blowing, it was just that the Water Purifying Buddha Lotus was expressing dissatisfaction with him.It seems that it hates this place extremely.Thinking that Water Purification Buddha Lotus is still a child, it is really not suitable to come to this kind of place.

With an attitude of being responsible for the children, Huo Qingfeng cupped his hands at Jing Yuji apologetically: "I'm really sorry, it's a bit late today. Why don't we get together another day."

Even though he realized that these were excuses, Jing Yuji was not annoyed, and still said a few polite words before saying goodbye to Huo Qingfeng.

The Purifying Water Buddha Lotus in his arms became more and more restless, and he almost couldn't hold it down.Huo Qingfeng was afraid that people would see the clues, so he had to bow his hands to Jing Yuji with a little guilt, and then left without turning his head while clutching the water purification Buddha lotus.

Looking at the back of Huo Qingfeng's disappearance, Jing Yu was thoughtful.

A flower girl with peacock tail feathers on her head came over, climbed onto Jing Yuji's shoulder very familiarly, looked at the direction where Huo Qingfeng disappeared and smiled slightly, "It's rare to meet someone who likes you. Why did you let the young master easily let go of the child who has never been through anything?"

Looking up and taking a sip of the wine, Jing Yuji smiled leisurely: "Good things, you have to keep them and savor them slowly to get the taste."

Walking quickly on the dark street, a gust of wind blows by, it is very bleak, not at all the excitement of the Lantern Festival just now.If he didn't know that he just greeted Jing Yuji briefly in Huajie, Huo Qingfeng would have felt that a century had passed.

"The lanterns will disperse fast enough." Huo Qingfeng murmured in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet, and returned to the inn at an inhuman speed.

Turn the corner and the inn is right in front of you.Huo Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his hair and clothes that had been tousled by the wind, and then took a step, swaying over with three steps.

The waiter at the inn was still awake, obviously waiting for Huo Qingfeng.Seeing him come back, Xiao Er was visibly relieved, "Guest officer, you are back! Would you like some water for you to freshen up?"

After rewarding Xiao Er with a few taels of silver, and ordering him to bring water to the room, Huo Qingfeng turned and went upstairs.

The Purifying Water Buddha Lotus has settled down, nestled in Huo Qingfeng's arms, shaking the short leaves as if inviting pets, as if coquettishly begging to be petted.Huo Qingfeng had nothing to do with it, so he had to put it on the bedside, mobilize his consciousness, and communicate with it.Xiao Er didn't knock on the door until he put it to sleep.

"Excuse me, sir! There is no hot water in the kitchen. It will take a while to boil, so you have been waiting for a long time." Xiaoer brought up a pot of water, first filled the teapot with boiling water, and put it on the wooden stand Put some hot water in the sink.

"I'm sorry." Huo Qingfeng said with a smile.

"You are welcome, sir. Then, you rest." The waiter mixed the water and prepared to go down.

"Second Brother, please stay!" Huo Qingfeng remembered the strange things in the town, hurriedly stopped Xiao Er, and asked: "I'm new here, I don't know the rules of the town. Are men in your town not allowed to go out on the street after dark?"

As if he had waited for him to ask this question a long time ago, Xiaoer closed the door, and then whispered to Huo Qingfeng: "I don't want to hide this from you, sir! There is no such rule in our town. It's just... you should not go out on the street after dark. Alright, save yourself trouble."

"Why is this?" This aroused Huo Qingfeng's curiosity, and he hurriedly asked the waiter to sit down, as if to have a long talk at night.

The waiter poured a cup of tea for Huo Qingfeng before he dared to sit down on the wooden bench next to him, sighed and said, "Guest officer, you don't know that the Lotus Lantern Festival in Furong Town is famous, and people from many places come to it We are here for the holidays. It was fine at first, but it is a pity that since five years ago, men in the town suddenly committed suicide inexplicably, both local and non-local. I thought they were just short-sighted because they couldn’t think about it for a while, but there are so many people Among them, there are many wealthy sons who are going well. If you want to have good looks and money, you will believe that they will commit suicide. Over the past few years, more than a dozen people have been killed."

Huo Qingfeng said: "Are these people mentally normal? Are they crazy or stupid?"

"That's not true. According to their family members, in the few days before the suicide, there was nothing abnormal except for a bad complexion and a sad face all day long." The waiter said.

"Then before they committed suicide, did something strange happen?" Huo Qingfeng continued to ask.

"That's why the men in our town don't go out at night. It is said that they were all caught by something when they were walking at night, and they didn't return all night. It's the same. The yamen couldn't find out why, so I asked them, and they didn't say much. Everyone said that these men were bewitched by the lotus ghost at night. Tell me, are they scary!" said the waiter with lingering fear.

"Since you were bewitched by a ghost, can you invite a Taoist priest to do it?" Huo Qingfeng asked.

The waiter in the shop said: "Please, please. Among the people who committed suicide, there were also many romantic sons from rich families. They often hang out outside in the middle of the night. It is difficult to think of nothing. After they died, the family members went to various places to invite them." It's a pity that these experts came here, and no one saw the shadow of the ghost, so the matter was over. Later, a highly respected mage came, and he said that the town's geomantic o Seriously, I suggest that the men in the town not go out at night. After a long time, there really have been no suicides. Therefore, the men in our town are afraid to go out at night."

Huo Qingfeng only thought it was very interesting.In his impression, there are monsters that eat people, suck souls, and bloodthirsty, but he has never heard of any monsters that like to trick men into suicide.

"Anyway, guest officer, it's better to be careful. It's best not to walk around at night in the future." After leaving these words, Xiao Er stood up and left.

After sending Xiao Er out of the room, Huo Qingfeng closed the door, then went to the window and opened it.The night wind blows, and the whole town is silent in darkness.Looking at the quiet houses and streets outside the window, Huo Qingfeng smiled slightly: There is no cat that does not steal, and there is no demon that does not do evil.Since nothing happened for such a long time, if something happened, there would definitely be a big blow.Be sure to stay and take a good look at what kind of monsters have appeared in this town.
