What was going on? Why did he put me on the bed? Why did he cover me with a blanket?
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to get out of the blanket, but Chu Yunshen pushed her back and even pressed the blanket on both sides of her with his hands. He firmly locked her under the blanket and prevented her from moving.
"Sleep for a while. You should be sleepy by now,"
Chu Yunshen faintly ordered. He was not in the position to tell Cheng Xiaoxiao that she was experiencing the same situation last night.
Sleep? At this hour?
But she was not sleepy yet!
Moreover, the braised beef was still on the table! He had already fed her the boiled beef, so they shouldn't waste the braised beef!
Cheng Xiaoxiao restlessly struggled, her mind full of the tasty delicacy that intoxicated her.
If it weren't for the boiled beef just now, Cheng Xiaoxiao would have almost forgotten about the braised beef that landed
Cheng Xiaoxiao remembered that she felt dizzy, and the world spun around her. Did she lose consciousness after that?No. She recalled that she seemed to have fallen down, and then Chu Yunshen caught her.Yes, this was the correct version.What happened after he caught her?When she woke up, she was in Mu Bai's room. Chu Yunshen was hugging her while Mu Bai was talking about the Datura powder.Other than that, she couldn't remember anything no matter how hard she tried to recall.It seemed that she had lost her memory.Cheng Xiaoxiao sat on the wall and looked at the crescent moon hanging high in the air. She couldn't help but sigh."Wait, what am I doing?""Why am I sitting here and thinking about life? I was planning to have a meal and take a walk in the brothel street, wasn't I? Why am I sitting here trying to remember things? There are no important things to
The restaurants in the brothel street were decorated in an extravagant and magnificent manner, but the visuals could only be emphasized during the day. During the night when there was no sufficient lighting equipment, the extravagance was completely suppressed by the inky night.When Cheng Xiaoxiao saw this street two days ago, she imagined the scene here at night and felt it was quite a pity.The night in ancient times was dim and boring. What was the point of hiring so many beautiful harlots anyway, not to mention that the performance would be held on the second floor of the restaurant? They couldn't even see the performance clearly without lighting!However, the facts proved that Cheng Xiaoxiao was overthinking this. The ancient people were wise and niche in their problem-solving skills. The small lanterns, which were arranged in a zig-zag style and swaying in the wind, were the best proof.These small lanterns made up fo
At this time, Cheng Xiaoxiao could hear the crying. Logically speaking, the others should be able to hear it too, but it seemed that they went on to do whatever they were doing and acted as if nothing had happened.In fact, not many people noticed her when she, who was dressed completely differently from the other women, walked through the street.Not everyone was like this. At first, there were some men who sized Cheng Xiaoxiao up slyly, but they were just looking at her without doing anything. Soon, they turned back and flirted with the harlots in their arms.What the hell? Does my charm not work anymore?Cheng Xiaoxiao was originally worried that she would be too ostentatious that she had attracted their attention. She even regretted not doing some makeover like Chu Yunshen and the others before taking a stroll. Although she did not know how to change her look, she could put on dirty makeup and pretend to be a beggar.
Cheng Xiaoxiao's speculation was on point. The harlot was one of the members of the restaurants in the brothel street. Coincidentally, she was from Jin Xiu Square, the restaurant where Cheng Xiaoxiao had spent the longest time standing in front of the door.By the way, the ghost harlot had told her her name—Manley.Manley had worked in Jin Xiu Square for years. Albeit her young age, she was one of the experienced staff in the restaurant compared with other harlots.Every month, new girls would be hired by the restaurant. "Old" harlots like Manley could only rely on returning customers to sustain their business. The arrival of the new girls would dwindle Manley's business significantly.At that time, Manley was very anxious, but she didn't know what to do to improve the situation.Until one day before the opening hour, Manley was called into the room by the pimp. As soon as she entered the door, she was put in a
The man had a pair of narrow eyes, and his two pupils were slightly protruding. He looked a bit like an angry toad.The white of his eyes was so glassy that it reflected light under the moonlight. There was a rather thin beard on his scrawny face. Due to his sickly pale complexion, his beard looked dark and eerie.The most horrifying thing was his smile. He smiled so wide that most of his teeth were exposed as he smiled at Cheng Xiaoxiao. Red seeped out of his white teeth. Cheng Xiaoxiao guessed that it might be blood.The man was very thin and flimsy.He didn't wear much either. He was wearing only a shirt in this kind of cold weather. The cold wind blew on the man's body, and it was precisely because of his thin shirt that was stuck on his body that Cheng Xiaoxiao could clearly see the perfect muscle outlines on his body.Where did he come from? Since when did he stand there?He appeared out of th
Seeing that Cheng Xiaoxiao was so persistent, Manley had no choice but to obey Cheng Xiaoxiao and tell her to be careful before floating out of the alley.Not long after Manley left, Cheng Xiaoxiao was almost done with her setup.Feeling satisfied with the dirty clothes that still reeked of blood and stench that were covering her, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt extremely secure.The stench and blood stains on the harlot's clothes were quite horrifying, but compared with the man's wooden stick, Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she could stay in this place for a day or two.The smell and bloodstain did not bother her because she wanted to be alive!Cheng Xiaoxiao hid in the bamboo basket, and the man's footsteps followed closely behind.The footsteps had already arrived in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, and the sound of the wooden stick being dragged also stopped.Cheng Xiaoxiao could even hear the man's
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't just stand there and watch.In fact, she began to feel that her body was aching when the old woman fell a few more times.She should help the old woman and ask what was going on with her before leaving.No, she should just help her stand firm and then leave. She shouldn't meddle in the old woman's business.Cheng Xiaoxiao swore that she wouldn't mind the old woman's business even if the old woman was kicked out by her family or encountered some problems."So, granny, what happened to you? Why are you here alone in the middle of the night? Where is your family? Where do you live?"Cheng Xiaoxiao held the old woman's thin arm, feeling the texture of the old woman's skin and bones, and her tone sounded more concerned than before.In life, one could never escape the law of truth and the contradiction of one's mind.Cheng Xiaoxiao just followed the call o
Zhang Tongtong was just an ordinary person. He didn't know what kind of smell a human could have. Naturally, he couldn't understand what Lu Dihua meant by "special".He had to docilely obey her command since Lu Dihua had ordered him.However, Zhang Tongtong wasn't sure what she meant by "gentle". In the past, she had never interfered with how he did his job. Why did she have a special request this time?Despite his confusion, Zhang Tongtong did not voice his doubt. His duty was only to listen to and obey her orders without questions, which was also the quality Lu Dihua adored. As for how to capture the girl outside the courtyard, he picked up a wooden stick among the weapons and walked out.When Zhang Tongtong walked out of the courtyard, the scene in which Cheng Xiaoxiao was shocked and escaped happened.At that moment, Zhang Tongtong and Lu Dihua had already quickly returned to the alley they lived in. With Ch
