The strange case of the demon book

Chapter 19: Floating Bazaar

?Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui took over shifts with the brothers in the day shift. They started patrolling at [-]:[-] am and ended at [-]:[-] pm every day.The truth about Ling Junru came to light, and the two booed endlessly.Ma Wenrui sighed: "I saw Mr. Ling often in the past two years. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

The two sat leaning against the chairs, with their feet resting on the table, facing the busy street outside the window.This bustling Taiping Street is more popular during the day than at night.Since Mr. Qianliju sang on stage in Leshan Theater, more people came to see the opera in Leshan Theater.And the Yongming Troupe really disappeared on the stage in Guangzhou City.

After remembering the sound of the bell tower in Guangzhou City at five o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them went to the police station to sign and go home after handing over their shifts with the brothers on night shift.In the evening, Ma Wenrui went to the floating market to sell rice dumplings made of wine.Huo Wencai would also go there at night to see if he could sell something.There are a lot of gamblers and gangsters there, maybe selling some women's things is more profitable.

Touch your pocket, the money bag is about to bottom out.There are still a few days before the police pay is paid. After the first month's police pay is received, he will find something to sell with Ma Wenrui.

"Patroll Huo, your letter and invitation." Someone called out.

"Thank you." Huo Wen only got his letter and invitation.The letter came from Foshan, and it was obvious from a glance that it was written by Dabao.It was just the invitation letter, Huo Wen was a little confused.

Huo Wencai unwrapped the letter, and it turned out that Dabao had written it for him, and also told him a good news.Huizhu is pregnant, and he is going to become a godfather!Seeing this news, Huo Wen laughed.But when he saw what was behind, Huo Wencai looked a little sullen.

If he was really framed, why was he forced to leave Foshan?Huo Wencai was a little annoyed, disappointed and puzzled.

After putting away Dabao's letter, Huo Wen opened the invitation.

It was Master Tie who sent him an invitation letter, inviting him to drink and eat. It seems that Master Tie has found out who he is.For this invitation, he has to go if he doesn't want to. Master Tie is a big boss in the south of Guangzhou, so even if he doesn't like it, he has to go.Huo Wen just looked at it, and his face twitched when he saw Wei Zong's message in the invitation letter. It turned out that Wei Zong had opened his invitation letter and read it.

So on that day, both Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng will be there.With the identities of Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng, even if Master Tie had any ideas, it would probably be in vain.

Huo Wencai put away the letter and invitation letter and went back.

In the evening, Huo Wen went to the floating market on the other side of the White Swan Pool. After arriving there, Huo Wen realized how lively the floating market was.Gambling and changliao boats, which were once banned, resumed business again, and a large amount of money in Long Dudu's pocket came from these industries.When Huo Wencai found Ma Wenrui, Ma Wenrui was really busy.He didn't get on the boat because it cost money to get on the boat.So he was at the entrance of the pier on the shore, where the gamblers and flower girls from the floating market would come here to buy a bowl of wine rice balls with two copper rounds.

"Brother, help me." Ma Wenrui greeted Huo Wencai when he saw Huo Wencai.

"Okay." Huo Wen said.Immediately, he rolled up his sleeves to help Ma Wenrui.

"It's really lively here." Huo Wencai said, there is no floating market in Foshan, those floating markets with lights are very spectacular.During the [-] Years, if Guangzhou City was not forced to be peacefully independent due to the relationship between Cantonese businessmen, it is unknown when Guangzhou City would recover under the flames of war.It is even more difficult for this floating market to recover.

"That's right, there are business opportunities everywhere here. But the boat is very chaotic, and people fall into the water every night." Ma Wenrui said.

"I'll take a look on the boat later." Huo Wencai said.

"Okay."

Huo Wen didn't board the boat until there were not so many guests.There are either gambling tables or flower boats on each boat. The flower girls in Xiuhe clothes are waiting for the guests to arrive on the flower boats, and the rest are selling porridge and other food.Huo Wen just wandered from one boat to the other, and from time to time, there were flower girls teasing him, but he cleverly avoided them.

After turning around, Huo Wencai found a business opportunity - as expected, he wanted to make money from women.

When Huo Wencai was about to go ashore from one boat to another, a person flew over from one boat, Huo Wencai jumped to avoid it, the boatman pushed the boat away and the person fell into the water.Then there was a chaotic fight on the opposite side.

Huo Wen reckoned that it was gamblers who started the fight.He carefully avoided getting himself involved in it, but who knew that the scuffle would expand more and more fiercely, the screams of women, the shouts of men fighting, and the spectators.Huo Wencai saw that his way ashore was blocked by the scuffle ahead.

"Call! Call me!"

"Beat the cheater to death!"

"drink!"

"what--"

Seeing that the fights spread to this side, Huo Wen looked back, and there was a flower boat behind him.When the person who was hit flying over flew towards him, Huo Wen jumped onto the flower boat.The flower boat swayed, and someone drew up the curtain.Huo Wencai saw that she was a gorgeous woman.When the woman saw Huo Wencai, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Come in."

Huo Wen only waved his hand: "Don't bother me too much, I'll leave after they finish fighting."

The woman smiled softly: "You are afraid that if I eat you, you will fail." The laughter of other women came from inside.Huo Wencai's ears warmed up, but he still refused: "My friend is waiting for me, I will leave soon."

"What are you shy about?" All the women in the boat laughed, and the woman who greeted Huo Wencai stood up and walked to Huo Wencai's side, holding Huo Wencai's arm while stroking his chest: "Go in and have a drink."

Huo Wen only struggled quietly: "Let go."

The woman limply held Huo Wen's arm and whispered to him: "My name is Yuan Xi, what's your name?"

"Yuan Xi, your man is fighting there, but you are here to flirt with other men, aren't you afraid that he will take care of you." The boatman at the bow smiled maliciously.

"Hehe~ He is not my man. If I am a man, will I come out to do work?" Yuan Xi said with contempt.

"It's said that □□ is ruthless, and that's true." The boatman said as he smoked a stick of dry smoke.

"If men are righteous, how can we women be ruthless. In the final analysis, it is you men who are unrighteous that make us ruthless." Yuan Xi reprimanded.

Huo Wencai had a headache, the fight in front was about to come here.Huo Wen didn't want to be entangled, so he might as well make his own way to get ashore.That's why Huo Wen broke free from the woman's hand and jumped over.

"Hey, hey, hey, just leave." Yuan Xi exclaimed.

"Don't go, wait to be slaughtered." The boatman sneered.Yuan Xi and the boatman laughed a few times, then turned back to the boat, and by the lantern in the boat, she took out the jade ring tied with a red string and put it in front of her eyes, secretly delighted.

This is a very good jade ring, it can be exchanged for a lot of oceans.

Huo Wencai really made a way.The people who were fighting each other all attacked Huo Wencai because of Huo Wencai's appearance.Huo Wencai was also polite and beat each other up.A gambler shouted arrogantly: "We are under Master Tie, wait for you boy. We will not let you go."

Huo Wen touched his nose: "I'm waiting for you." In order to avoid causing trouble to Ma Wenrui, he walked away after landing.

I wonder if I can be recognized if I do business on this ship?The big deal is to draw two mustaches on his face.

Huo Wen just took off his clothes and took a shower after returning home, and he didn't realize that the jade ring was missing until he lay down on the bed.Huo Wen was in a hurry. He rummaged through his clothes, the backyard and the bed but couldn't find it.

"It's broken! Don't lose it!" Huo Wencai felt uneasy.

"No, let me think about it." Huo Wen sat on the bed and calmed down, thinking about today's events from beginning to end.

Zhang Jue gave him the jade ring because Ling Junru didn't have time to return it to Zhang Jue because of the follow-up processing and shift change, so he kept wearing it on his body. This jade ring is not ordinary.Now that the jade ring is missing, what should I do if I don't return it.

Huo Wencai closed his eyes and thought about it calmly before realizing that he was touched by the woman named Yuan Xi on the prostitute boat.Huo Wen gave himself a slap: "Make you not be wary of women."

Because he trusted women, he was calculated to run away from Foshan.

Now, the jade ring on his body has been touched away.Fortunately, I know who took it away. If I don't have a clue, what should I return to Zhang Jue.

After going to Tie Ye's appointment tomorrow, I must find that woman named Yuan Xi to return the jade ring.After getting the jade ring, go to Zhang Jue.

That night at the Leshan Theater, Huo Wencai kept asking in his heart: Why didn't Zhang Jue come to stop this torture like a purgatory on earth.But afterwards, he knew that he couldn't question and blame Zhang Jue.

What does this matter have to do with Zhang Jue?

As he said: everything has a cause and effect, if he can avoid this effect.The nightmare of his life was over.

Therefore, no one in the Yongming Theater Troupe, except the troupe master, could escape this fruit, even Wang Xiang could not escape.

So he is not qualified to ask Zhang Jue why he didn't go to Yongming Theater to save people.

Huo Wen just lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep. He will get up early at five o'clock tomorrow morning to go to work.

Huo Wencai felt thrilled by what happened in the short month of coming to Guangzhou. After living for more than 20 years, he still thought that doing whatever he wanted in Foshan was enough for him to feel wonderful.Unexpectedly, after he came to Guangzhou, he realized that he was very naive in Foshan.

Huo Wencai gradually fell asleep.

After nightfall, Lantern Street is very quiet. There are lanterns hanging on the doors of every house on both sides of the street. Neighbors who listened to the sound of the bell and closed their doors all put all the lanterns made during the day into their houses.

A neighborhood of naughty children ran like crazy outside.

"I want to catch you! I want to catch you!" There was a big smile on the child's face. Not far away, the child's mother packed up her things and looked up, feeling terrified and sweating——

While his child was playing alone, he was running, as if he was playing hide-and-seek with someone.But this mother didn't see anything, only her own child.

She hastily stepped forward: "Azie, go home!" The moment her hand touched the child, the child turned his eyes and rolled his eyes to look at his mother, and then disappeared in front of his mother.

A Ziniang was stunned for a moment, then lost control and screamed: "My A Zi disappeared!"

Huo Wen was in a deep sleep, and Lantern Street was already in chaos...
