Chapter 543 Chapter 543(1/2)
I don’t know if it’s some kind of coincidence, but the place where Huoyue Class eats is the same haunted inn where Soli and the others stayed before.
In connection with the series of "haunted" operations in the play just now, both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little suspicious that the theater troupe was rehearsing, and then the group of 250 people on Devil's Prison Island mistakenly thought it was haunted?
"So when you hear ghosts singing in the middle of the night, is it because the class leader is practicing his voice?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Bai Yutang felt that practicing voice training in the middle of the night was quite confusing...
The fourth boy, holding a stack of tickets in his hand, sat on Suo Li's shoulder and counted the number of people with his fingers.
Zhan Zhao saw it and asked him, "Xiao Sizi, you bought so many tickets, are you going to bring everyone to see it?"
The fourth son nodded, a little embarrassed, "It's just that no one looked at the top part..."
"That's right, then it shouldn't be possible to connect." Zhan Zhao asked him what to do.
Xiaotuanzi thought for a while and clenched his fist, "Then let me tell everyone."
As he spoke, he continued to count on his fingers how many times he had to say it.
Fifth Master looked at him silently - Tuanzi loves to talk...
Arrive at the entrance of Yuelong Inn.
Suoli had a look of disgust on his face, "What a girl, why did you come to the haunted house to eat?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought it was quite appropriate for the occasion. Didn't the ghost class leader have to come to the ghost building?
The theater clerk was already waiting at the entrance of the building. When he saw everyone coming, he happily went upstairs to get it.
The private room door of Yuelong Inn is on the third floor. This building is indeed quite old. When you step on the floor, occasionally there will be a few pieces loose, making a "crunching" sound.
The waiter went to the door of the private room, knocked, and then pushed the door open and went in.
In the door of the private room, a table was placed by the window, and a woman dressed in black was drinking tea.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the door first, and behind them, the fourth son took a look, and the last one to follow was Suo Li.
The leader on the stage wore heavy makeup and had long hair and a ghostly face, so no one could see her face clearly.
Now that I have taken off my makeup and looked at the audience, I can see that the class leader is not very old, has good looks, and is very delicate.
However, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that this person's internal strength was not low, and perhaps his age had nothing to do with his appearance.
"I said whoever is so generous is turning out to be a distinguished guest." Leader Gui stood up and invited everyone to take their seats.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang subconsciously took a look at the fourth son...and saw that Tuanzi didn't look scared or disgusted, but looked up at the class leader curiously.
The class leader was making scented tea and pouring tea for everyone. Before Zhan Zhao and the others could speak, he asked, "Is Kaifeng Mansion so generous in investigating cases?"
Zhan Zhaoxiao asked, "Does the class leader know that we are here to investigate the case?"
Leader Gui sighed, "The dismemberment case has already spread all over the city."
The little boy was probably thirsty, so he picked up the scented tea cup, smelled it, and then drank it with confidence.
The class leader looked at him with his chin in his hands and asked, "Why didn't you eat snacks just now?"
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little surprised - had she noticed the fourth son on the stage just now? But looking at Suo Li again, they thought it was reasonable. Such a big guy with strange clothes should look like he was on stage.
It's also quite conspicuous.
"Because everyone is asleep but you are not asleep." Your class leader seemed to know what everyone was wondering about, holding his chin and drinking tea.
"Auntie, did you add any medicine to Ling's mouth?" the fourth son asked curiously.
Leader Gui smiled brightly when the fourth son called him "auntie", stretched out his hand to pinch his little face, "I added Longjing Powder."
The fourth child was surprised, "Does Auntie have dragon's neck grass?"
"Oh?" Leader Gui was surprised, "You actually know about dragon's neck grass, how knowledgeable you are!"
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked the fourth son - what is dragon neck grass?
"It's a jagged grass that grows in the desert. It looks like a dragon's neck, so it's called dragon's neck grass." Xiao Sizi explained, "This grass is very magical. It can refresh your mind when you eat it.
The puppy will fall asleep after eating it.”
After saying that, the fourth son felt something was wrong again and looked at Team Leader Gui - Auntie is so outrageous!
Leader Gui smiled and poked Tuanzi's little face, "Some adults are careless and think that children are not afraid if they are not afraid, so they just bring them to watch a ghost show... Kittens and puppies should go to sleep when it gets dark."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Team Leader Gui. He didn't look like a pervert who killed and dismembered his body... Could it be that the rumors were wrong? Did Old Liu come to the Huoyue Ship to see her?
Bai Yutang recalled the portraits on the wall of Old Liu's house. Among the many beauties, there was no such leader.
And this class leader is probably not Lao Liu's type. After taking off her makeup, the class leader looks a bit handsome, not the kind of gorgeous beauty.
"Since the high price has been paid, you can ask whatever you want." Leader Gui said. Hearing the commotion downstairs, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for the treat."
Bai Yutang continued to drink his scented tea. It felt so good not to have to talk...
"Is it okay to ask anything?" Zhan Zhao looked at the class leader.
The class leader made him amused and nodded, "Yeah."
"Then... how old is the class leader this year?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Leader Gui was not upset. He held the tea cup and said to himself, "How old are you...well, I can't even remember. I must be more than seventy."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang roughly guessed it, and it was almost as expected. They were indeed masters.
"Auntie, do you know the elderly people in our family?" Xiao Sizi asked the leader of Gui Ban.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Xiao Si Zi and felt that the question of dumplings was quite reasonable. These old men and women might know each other.
However, Team Leader Gui waved his hand, "I don't know him, I just heard some rumors."
"Speaking of which..." Leader Gui suddenly asked Suoli, who was drinking tea and eating snacks by himself, "Are you from the Demon Prison Island?"
Soli nodded.
"They lived in this building before," Zhan Zhao said, "but then it became haunted at night, so they moved away..."
"Haunted?" Leader Gui also seemed a little surprised. Seeing Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looking at her, he immediately understood. He shook his head and said, "We just come here to eat. We don't live here at night. We live on the boat."
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned - so it wasn't that the class leader was practicing his voice in the middle of the night... nor was it a rehearsal.
"How do you know he is from Demon Prison Island?" Zhan Zhao pointed at Suoli and asked Team Leader Gui.
"I've been to Devil's Prison Island before, and I've seen many children dancing in these clothes." Leader Gui said jokingly, "It was so interesting that I always remember it."
"When did it happen?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"More than thirty years ago..." Boss Gui looked at Suo Li looking familiar, "You might have been there at that time."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both look at Suo Li, and the fourth son also looks at him - didn't you say you were eighteen?
Suoli twisted his face - that's eighteen, this aunt can't count!
"Is there any difference between the Huoyue Troupe's evening performance and the matinee show?" Zhan Zhao stopped worrying about age and continued to ask.
"Absolutely. At night because the atmosphere is better and there are no children but all adults, it will be more scary."
"Are the people on the Huoyue ship drinking wine?"
"Well, there are wine escorts, but the actors don't accompany them, and the girls who accompany the wine are all from the kilns in the city. The money is divided into 30 and 70 cents, and many people are willing to come. My boat is only that big,
If they are right, they all go to live in the city and no one is left in the boat, and we will not make any money."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded—it turned out to be such an arrangement.
"Does the class leader know Old Liu who works the watch?"
Leader Gui smiled and said, "Is it profitable for you to watch the Kaifeng Imperial City?"
Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Absolutely..."
"Maybe the family is rich?" Leader Gui shrugged, "The boat fare on the Huoyue ship is only ten taels of silver, and I give you an extra ten taels per hour. In addition, it costs a lot to go to the theater, eat, drink and find girls. It's not worth it.
If you don’t have enough money, you won’t be able to get on the Fire Moon Ship.”
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned - Lao Liu did have a prosperous family in the past, but later everything was ruined. I don't know if he lost his fortune on the Huoyue Ship. Looking at the portraits all over the wall in his home, it always seemed like the Huoyue Ship.
I'm taking the blame...
"What about Xie Feihua and Sun Luoye?" Zhan Zhao continued to inquire about the two missing heads.
"I know these two." Leader Gui said very dissatisfied, "They are two crazy people."
"Crazy?" Zhan Zhao asked Team Leader Gui to elaborate.
"Dragon neck grass is something that has a sedative effect. Although adults will feel refreshed after eating it, it can stabilize their minds and prevent them from going crazy. This is also the experience we have accumulated from traveling around the world for many years. Indeed, some people may be very timid.
If you are scared crazy or even to death after watching a ghost show, we will be sued if you meet such people. So putting some dragon neck grass in the food can be regarded as a protection for the guests and us."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.
"But a person must have some self-awareness. If you are really as timid as a pinhead and don't dare to walk at night, then you shouldn't come to see a ghost show." Leader Gui said helplessly, "But these two theatergoers
Sometimes he makes a lot of noise and disturbs other guests, screams when there is any scary scene, and is a charlatan... The martial arts world in the Central Plains is full of these things, and it will be over sooner or later!
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded and agreed that the Central Plains martial arts community would end this matter sooner or later. They continued to ask, "Didn't they say they were fighting over grabbing a woman?"
"Stealing a woman?" Leader Gui was puzzled, "I, Huo Yueshuan, are here to watch a show. I told you that the girls on the ship are just for drinking. If you want to take her away to spend the night, you have to go to their building in Kaifeng City to give you money.
