Chapter 085: The Overbearing Flower

  Gu Zhou was taken aback, 200 taels he could afford to take out, and he was willing to take it. Compared to forcing a woman to submit with violence, he preferred the woman's voluntary service. Moreover, if he used force, he would have to run away tonight. But if he reached an agreement with her, from now until they left Beiping, this little girl would be at his disposal. It was a good deal.

  Two hundred taels of silver are nothing, just a hundred-year-old ginseng plant, and walking over two more mountains would have dug it up. The question is, was she forced by circumstances to use the delaying tactic, or did she really want to sell herself for two hundred taels of silver? What if I take her back to the inn and she changes her mind and uses this as an excuse to escape?

  The pancake girl clenched her fists tightly, but her chest was puffed out even higher: "Two hundred taels, enough for me to buy a house, several acres of land, plus an ox, and live a stable life with my sister. Even if I sully my body and can't get married, I...I'm willing!"

  Ximen Qing slapped his forehead with the back of his hand, suddenly looking very vexed as he squatted down. Xiaonan didn't know what he had discovered and hastily followed suit, squatting down beside him and asking in a low voice, "What did you think of?"

  Ximen Qing slowly raised his head, looking at him with a painful expression, and said sorrowfully: "Two hundred taels! Two hundred taels! If I had known that two hundred taels could... I would have given it to her! She had been saving private money..."

  Xia Xian's expression was speechless at this moment.

  In the alley, the pancake girl saw the old boat half believing and half doubting, hesitating. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, lightly lifted her skirt: "I... I haven't let a man touch me, I'm a clean body, I... I'm worth this price..."

  The hem reveals a pair of slender and delicate feet, wearing shoes, obviously a pair of handmade cloth shoes at home, but when worn on the beauty's feet, it is different. Just seeing it, you can sense the charm of 'the foot in the shoe is like frost, without wearing black stockings'.

  If you take off her shoes and peel off her socks, what kind of scenery will be presented in front of you?

  That is the most sensual part of a girl!

  The old boat licked its lips, and its gaze began to burn with intensity.

  The hem continued to rise, and a pair of slender legs appeared before him. Under the skirt was a pair of moon-white tight-fitting trousers, the color had faded from washing, but they were very clean. The pant legs clung tightly to her legs, straight in front, and a beautiful arc on the back.

  It's hard to make calves look sexy and delicate, but she did it. That curve is truly perfect, adding or subtracting a bit would affect its perfection. It's the most thought-provoking curve for men, flawless.

  You can imagine, if that thin cloth had not been wrapped around it, if it were on a embroidered bed, under the crimson lamp light, a pair of slender and beautiful legs gently intertwined together, emitting a soft and smooth glow, what kind of charm and sensuality it would be.

  The old boat widened its eyes, only wanting her skirt to be lifted higher, to see a more beautiful scenery, but the girl suddenly put down her hem.

  The old boatman was just looking at the critical point, and he couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed. He raised his head and saw that the girl was blushing and asking: "Am... am I worth two hundred yuan?"

  That delicate face, as white as jade, flushed with a hint of red, and illuminated by the lamp light from the pawnshop entrance, was truly breathtaking. This exquisite beauty spoke in such a shy tone, with such a gentle voice, that Gu Chou couldn't help but swallow his saliva, hastily nodding his head: "Worth it! Worth it! Too damn worth it!"

  Then his eyes widened, because he saw that the girl's hands had moved to her slender waist again, and her delicate fingers were trembling as she gently pulled at her belt: "Wow! Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore, such temptation..."

  Ximen Qing's eyes were also wide with surprise, and even Xiaohu...

  "Sorry, I'm a man too, and I've just committed the mistake that all men in the world would make!"

  When the three men simultaneously widened their eyes and stared involuntarily at the girl's waist, a strange change suddenly occurred. The girl's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her skirt hadn't moved yet, but a pink leg stretched out straight from under her skirt.

  "Pffft!"

  It was a very muffled sound, but Xia Jiu heard it. He immediately felt a sour tooth root and subconsciously bent his waist, while Xi Menqing directly made a "covering crotch" gesture. Two pairs of eyes stared at the pancake girl who always looked harmless, blushing and shy.

  The old boat's two eyes bulged out, staring straight at the pancake girl. His body slowly tilted forward, like a leaning Tower of Pisa, frozen in mid-air for a moment before crashing to the ground with a "thud": "Wooooo... Uggghhh... Bleh... Hsssss..."

  His mouth was like a radio without signal, making hissing and crackling sounds, far away it sounded like a mistreated little dog whining, he couldn't make loud noises, that place had been heavily bombed, even if he were made of iron, he couldn't make a sound or exert any strength.

  "King, eight, egg! Dare to defy this young lady's will! You stabbed the bear with one knife? You big stupid bear from Changbai Mountain!"

  Xia Jiang stared at the pancake girl with a dumbfounded expression, only to see that the usually gentle and delicate pancake girl had lifted up her skirt in an ungraceful manner, cursing through gritted teeth while using her small feet to furiously kick and trample on Gu Zhou's head and face.

  Xia Bian's eyes widened in shock, and the half brick in his hand fell to the ground, hitting Ximen Qing's head.

  That girl scolded and kicked, then turned around and left. Xia Yu quickly withdrew his head, not wanting to see that girl take a few more steps, stop and think, suddenly turn back, bend down and search in the ancient boat's bosom which was still competing with the air for breathing rights, pulled out a purse, weighed it in her hand and said fiercely: "This is the interest for teasing this girl, humph!"

  After finishing speaking, she kicked Gu Zhou fiercely and then left with a flourish.

  The poor old boat cowered on the ground, still panting and unable to catch its breath.

  Ximen Qing stood up with his back against the wall, still feeling a bit shaken. Suddenly he said to Xiaozhuang: "Brother, I think my little Dong... is actually quite gentle..."

  Baidu ※ Jin Yi Night Walking Bar ※ Premiere

  That night, it was very late when Gu Zhou returned. He walked with a steady and calm eight-character step, like floating clouds and flowing water, his shoulders not shaking, his arms not swaying, in the small space of the courtyard, this old fellow actually measured for a long time before slowly entering his own room. The travelers were all very curious, but looking at his pale face and eyes that seemed to be emitting a murderous aura, no one dared to ask.

  Xia Bian saw his resentful and poisonous look, gently put down the window, and said to Ximen Qing: "Although that pancake girl managed to escape with a trick, she also thoroughly offended this Guanwai guest. I think this ancient boat will not easily let her go, since we are traveling together, let's secretly take care of her."

  Ximen Qing is a kind of person who loves beauty and hates to part with it, and as soon as he heard this, he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

  The next day, the carriage continued on its journey. The next big city was Dezhou. Among the passengers who had been following from Jinan Prefecture all the way to Beiping, there were still only six people. The pancake girl and her sister had obviously increased their vigilance. They never left the sight of the crowd for half a step, even when staying overnight, they would choose rooms in the middle of other guests. Although Gu Zhou was fierce, he also knew that this place was not as lawless as outside the pass, so he didn't dare to make any rash moves.

  This day, they will soon arrive in Dezhou. Dezhou is a large and prosperous city on the ground of Shandong, with rich people and fertile land, happy industries and abundant harvests, and sufficient food and clothing for everyone. Travelers need to stay here overnight and rest for half a day the next day. Because the carriages have traveled long distances, they need to be repaired, and most guests also want to stop and sightsee or go shopping.

  Listening to the driver introduce the itinerary, Xia Xun noticed a flash of slyness in Gu Zhou's eyes and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. He lightly nudged Xi Menqing and whispered in his ear, "Hey, the opportunity for a hero to save a beauty has arrived!"

  Ximen Qing was dozing off when he heard a beautiful voice, and immediately became wide awake. He hastily asked: "Where? Where?"

  "Right in Texas!" Xia Liu smiled.

  When the car arrived in Texas, night had already fallen. They checked into a hotel, had dinner and stayed overnight without any incident. From that day on, the girl who got the wallet no longer lived a very frugal life, but the two sisters were still very thrifty, it's unknown whether they were born to be stingy or not.

  The next day, in the afternoon, most people went out to enjoy the scenery of Texas and buy local specialties. Burnt sister kept wandering around the store until she saw Gu Qian and others leaving the hotel. She quickly returned to her room. Xia Fu secretly shook his head: "After all, it's a little girl, with shallow knowledge, and now she's going to be deceived."

  As expected, the pancake girl heard that Gu Zhou and He Kezhuo had left, and soon she also took her sister out with a small bundle, while Xia Fu and Ximen Qing pretended to stroll around, following them from afar, keeping an eye on their tracks, and searching for Gu Zhou and He Kezhuo's figures. Before long, Xia Fu saw Gu Zhou and He Kezhuo, who had changed into new clothes and wore straw hats, sneaking behind the sisters under the cover of the crowd.

  Xia Liu followed them, but found that the Xie sisters were not going to a bustling market. They asked locals along the way and gradually turned into an alley. Only when they followed the two into the alley did they realize that there was a "mixed hall" there. The "mixed hall" referred to a public bathhouse. Public bathhouses emerged during the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming Dynasty, some large cities had female-only bathhouses. The girls were all clean and tidy, and how could they not bathe? However, it was already late autumn and early winter, and the equipment in the inn was simple. If only a basin of hot water was prepared, it would be easy to catch a cold and get sick. Now that there was an opportunity, they naturally wanted to clean up properly.

  Xia Yu saw that the two were going to take a bath and couldn't help but secretly sigh, women's bathing is such a troublesome thing, once they go in, it's unknown whether they can come out within two hours. He looked at the ancient boat and He Qiong in the distance and said to Ximen Qing: "Brother Gao, let's go find an inn, order a few dishes, and taste the local flavor."

  "Good, let's go with this roast chicken restaurant. It looks like it has been around for some years and can last for decades without closing down, the taste must be good."

  Two people walked into the store, ordered a roasted chicken, and also ordered several small dishes, an old wine. While drinking and eating, they chatted idly. Gu Zhou was afraid of losing his target, but he kept hiding behind a willow tree, staring with a pair of fiery eyes, gritting his teeth and waiting.

  When they had almost finished eating the fragrant and delicious roast chicken, Ximen Qing suddenly pinched Xiaolian's arm and whispered: "Come on, let's go out!"
