The Republic of China Demon Cloud Records

The autumn is getting stronger, and the ginkgo trees are all over the ground on both sides of the street. At a glance, a golden road is formed. A gust of wind blows through and leads directly to the teahouse in Dongjiao Lane. Pedestrians walk there in twos and threes.

Luyi County is not very peaceful these days, there are policemen in black and white uniforms coming and going on the road, with batons on their waists, forming a team in twos and threes, holding portraits in their hands, wishing to catch everyone and question them carefully .

The vicious inspectors would still smile when they passed by the teahouse, and lower their voices to greet Su Yuer, the proprietress of the teahouse, who came out to breathe.

Today she is wearing a deep red velvet cheongsam, with colorful threads embroidered with clouds, flowers and birds, revealing a smooth forearm. The plump waves and slender waist make her figure enchanting.

A pair of peach blossom eyes on a small face, lips redder than maple leaves, and a black jade hairpin in a loose tie, but it adds a touch of charm, Captain Hu's face can't hide his liking, let the team members go to check Waiting for guests.

While approaching Su Yuer, he said in a soft voice, "The superior ordered routine inspections to prevent human traffickers from coming out to do evil. You haven't seen them since you just opened the store. Didn't it scare you?"

He moved closer, and while reaching out to grab the oil, Su Yuer covered the palm of his hand and moved the salty pig's hand away calmly, and said with a smile: "Then it will be hard work for you, and I will send it to the teahouse when I am done. Tea."

While looking at the guests who were turned pale by the bear boys of the inspection team, he said with a little coquettishness: "But the team members under your command, don't scare my guests away."

Turning his eyes, Captain Hu, who was hooked, was in a daze. He nodded and said: "No problem, no problem. The routine inspection will go elsewhere soon." Su Yuer laughed again, as if she had been electrocuted. As soon as the whistle was blown, the team hurried away.

The store had only just opened, but there were already many people waiting outside. The maids and servants in the store were inviting people to enter, while deftly placing the padded stools, those who had no time to enter the venue to listen to the book People can sit outside chatting and drinking tea for a while.

The teahouse was full of seats, and the small hall was filled with small square wooden tables and round single stools. The storyteller sat on a high platform in the southeast corner, and a mahogany table in front of him was covered with a layer of dark green gold-patterned satin. , Put on a fan and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

On the right hand side is a two-inch long piece of Jiuping Xingmu. The storyteller is young, his name is Meng'er, and he looks only 21. He is wearing a dark blue long gown made of silk and satin.

The neckline of the gown is a little shorter than normal, revealing the white lining collar inside, and the material is customized by Jiangnan Xiuniang.

The trousers are black satin, the shoes are soft-soled suede, and the trousers are tightly tied with black straps, and the whole body is magnificent.

Su Yuer just sat behind the cabinet and fiddled with the abacus, and there were girls in plain cheongsams standing by two by two. Whenever the guests came to see what they liked, they would take it out and put it on a small white porcelain dish.

There is also a half-grown little girl wearing pink and blue shorts, holding a wooden tray high, filled with snacks, and shuttles around among the guests like little ants.

It was strange to say that this small hall was crowded into a pot of porridge, but there was only one empty table in the middle, and no one sat there.

Some people asked the little maid for an explanation, but when they wanted to join the table, they were softly turned back: "Sorry, that table is exclusive to our husband, and we cannot share the table."

Just sitting down was still a bit noisy, the person who asked for an explanation looked over suspiciously and secretly after saying this, wondering how she looked like a little girl, how could she be called Mr.

Wait for the tea and water to be refilled at each table, and all the snacks and fruits are brought up.The volume gradually faded away, and when the storyteller above raised his Jiuping for a beat, he fell completely silent, and even a needle could be heard clearly: "By the way, this Hongnan County..."

The eyes of the surroundings gradually fade away when the story begins. The girl's name is Tangxi. Most people only think that Su Yuer is the proprietress of the teahouse, but they don't know that the owner behind the scenes is such a little girl.

She didn't respond to these curious eyes at all, she just looked at the plate of peach blossom cakes in front of her, picked up a piece at random, it melted in her mouth, it was full of fine and sweet red bean paste.The desktop is covered with pages densely packed with stories from my mind.

The days are peaceful these days. I just moved to Luyi County for only two months. After opening the store, I don’t need to worry about my business. Su Yuer and Menger are naturally prosperous, and I drink tea and listen to books in my store every day. The demon experience was written on paper, bound together and sold to other teahouse storytellers to earn some money, not to mention that the injuries on his body were almost healed, but the bones all over his body were about to collapse from laziness.

It's all about her own personal experience, and it's easy to get distracted after listening to it for a long time. When the Jiuping rang again and the hall became lively again, she pulled back her wandering thoughts, and everyone put some on the copper plate held by the little girl. Scattered money and broken silver are used as rewards for Meng Er.Then they went together in twos and threes, discussing the content of the story, and dispersed.

Ruan Jiesheng didn't listen to what the excerpt was about today. He has been a little troubled recently, his brows are tightly furrowed, his eyes are dark and dark, he looks haggard and not at all a handsome young man.

When the people were almost gone, Ruan Jiesheng sighed and was about to get up and go home, but when he looked up, a woman was sitting in front of him, and he almost fell off the stool in fright.

"Young Master Ruan is frowning. You will drive away this luck." She held a wolf hair in her hand, and seemed to be writing something on the paper. While talking, her eyes were full of smiles. meaning.

Ruan Jiesheng was a little annoyed, but he still couldn't help but asked in curiosity, "Which family are you from? Did we know each other before?"

That girl was beautiful, at first glance she sighed that her skin was fair and translucent, and no one could match her, then she looked up and saw a lip as pink as peach petals, a small nose, a pair of phoenix eyes, the pupil color was like a spot of paint, and she was covered in a whole body. The black cheongsam, embroidered with white thread, naturally reveals the classic charm of the whole body.

After Ruan Jiesheng saw the whole picture of the girl clearly, the anger in his heart was naturally a little less, and his tone softened, as if he felt uncomfortable for the bluntness just now.

"I'm the shopkeeper, and my name is Tangxi." She blinked her eyes, completely unaware that the brush had drawn a black mark on her face, and her tone of voice was more heroic, leaning towards a boy's voice, and her black hair was softly attached to her ears At the end, it was only slightly above the ears, which made people sigh that it was a pity that such a good hair was twisted away, and felt that this hairstyle suited her well.

Ruan Jiesheng's eyes were a little straight, and he murmured in surprise: "You are the owner..." After seeing her special treatment, he believed it a little bit in his heart, and wondered that he had never dealt with the owner before. It's just a newly opened teahouse. Although it's very popular and has a steady stream of customers, the shop is full of foreigners. It's impossible to know yourself without any foundation. You can tell if it's a joke or a liar once you try it.

Tangxi waved his hand casually, put down the pen, and comforted him: "You don't have to be afraid, I calculated it all through these gadgets." Then he stretched out his hand, and there were two German silver coins lying quietly in his palm, Ruan Jiesheng accidentally threw it in by mistake.

Ruan Jiesheng thought it was someone throwing something randomly into the plate, and Ruan Jiesheng blushed: "Girl, don't make fun of me. This is the coin I used when I was studying in Germany. It is not a useless thing. I will change it into small change for you." you."

Seeing that Ruan Jiesheng mistook him for blackmail, Tangxi said a little unhappy, "I'm not a charlatan."

She put the silver coins on the table, looked at Ruan Jiesheng and said slowly: "Young Master Ruan clearly has a happy event at home, it's good that you look so worried."

"The child is full moon, which is a good thing, why are you still so sad?"

The young master of the Ruan family met when he was studying abroad with his newlywed wife Xiuyun. He fell in love at first sight and got married in Germany. Later, he followed Ruan Jiesheng back to Luyi County to learn how to manage the family business. He has a six-year-old daughter. Now it is very easy. It will be a full moon after giving birth to a boy, and he is still the only child of the Ruan family's generation.

"Yes..." Tangxi's story was a little bit right. Ruan Jiesheng was a little puzzled, but he looked at Tangxi's clear eyes with a lot of respect, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to relieve the anxiety in his heart. Yan Qingkou struggled for a long time and then sighed: "Although it's full moon, it's not a good thing to be here. I'm planning to send someone to my mother's house, and my heart is very confused."

Tangxi didn't speak, but she put down the pen that was writing in her hand, and heard Ruan Jiesheng continue to say: "How long did the girl come to Luyi County?"

"It was about two months ago, I just came here to settle down." Hearing the answer, Ruan Jiesheng revealed some understanding on his face: "The girl may not know that there have been no children in the county who have grown up safely for three years. .”

Tangxi didn't pay attention, she seldom went out this month, and spent most of her time writing books in the teahouse. When she heard this sentence, her eyes lit up: "I haven't heard of this."

"At the beginning, it was said that there were human traffickers. The previous county magistrate spent two years on the search and caught some human traffickers at the beginning. After being sent to prison, the children are still missing. After two years, almost seventy or eighty three-year-olds have been lost. The following children made everyone feel insecure, and the county magistrate also lost his position because of this. However, after the new official took office, there was still no progress. It was just that everyone was worried, some went to other places, and more were not in a hurry. Nothing like that happened to the child."

Tangxi's sixth sense dedicated to detecting monsters has already started to work. Since people can't catch them, the children won't disappear out of thin air. She suddenly smiled and showed her canine teeth: "If I can help you, try Why don't you consider working with me?"
