Chapter 53

() Found the way home!

Damn what to look at!

Ye Liuxi glared back at a glance, and the chicken calmly looked away and closed her eyes again.

After Li Jinao finished playing the song, everything he saw was scattered. Although it was just a painting, the vivid music was so sad that it made people feel a little desolate.

Reading books, paintings, listening to operas and music is not in vain.

Changdong added a stool and invited Li Jinao to have dinner together. The dishes added were all radish, potatoes, peanuts, and it was rare that the meat was mixed in a mixed bag... It was not that I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I really had nowhere to buy it with the money. Li Jinao obviously understood it very much, and felt a little grateful after understanding it. He was kind enough and served it on the table after a few words.

Ding Liu was urging her to drink, which was her strength, and she sipped "Uncle Ao" and said one by one, "You are so amazing" and "The shadow puppet is so beautiful."

Once a person gets older, he especially likes to gain the admiration of the younger generation. Li Jinao made her hold her up flutter. After a few glasses of wine, her tongue became a little bigger.

Changdong poured wine for him: "I have watched shadow puppets before, but it was the first time I saw him who was so similar."

Li Jinao said: "I understand, I understand...Is that kind of puppet like a stitching puppet?"

Once a person drinks too much, he will do whatever he does. Li Jinao spreads his arms and moves down hard: "Only the joints can move, but the wood is not stupid. There are also people who play like this. It is common in the market and is not as popular as the market."

Changdong smiled bitterly, feeling that this slap was a self-inflicted person.

Li Jinao put two peanuts into his mouth and chewed them: "Take the story of "The Conjuring" as an example. Emperor Wu of Han saw the shadow of Mrs. Li after the curtain, sobbed and gave countless rewards to the sorcerer. How realistic is the scene? People with cowhide carvings can only move with a stud. Can Emperor Wu of Han be fooled?"

Fei Tang also spoke actively: "That's not it... I was puzzled before, and I thought to myself that the emperor took it seriously when watching a shadow play. Now I know that I have never seen a master take action."

Li Jinao said: "No, no, no..."

Although he was proud, he was not yet in a state of obsession: "I am still far from here, I am ashamed."

With a clang, he threw a waist sign onto the table.

The bronze piece of waist plate was covered with patina, shaped like a piece of tiles, and the curvy seal characters on the top had been worn out to a half-hidden extent. Fei Tang wanted to pick it up and read it carefully, but Li Jinao had already spoken first.

"Plain card, my old Li family is not my brag. What is the name of the person who served Emperor Wu of Han to watch shadow puppets? Li Shaoweng! What is my surname? Li!"

Fei Tang felt that the name was very familiar: "Is this Li Shaoweng the one killed by Emperor Wu of Han?"

According to historical records, after Li Shaoweng summoned his soul, Emperor Wu of Han appointed him as General Wencheng. After a while, he felt that this man was mysterious and killed him.

Li Jinao glared at her eyes: "Nonsense! How could he kill? That's called entering the gate! If my old Li family doesn't enter the gate, where can the shadow puppet team come from?"

He picked up the wine glass and suddenly felt sad: "What a pity, my ancestor's surname is Li, who is not good at it, has only learned the superficial knowledge of shadow puppetry... If I get the true teachings, I will have an iron car now..."

He burped, and the wine in his glass pounced on his hands. Perhaps he felt it was a pity and lowered his head to lick it.

Chang Dong remained silent: "The shadow puppet team you mentioned is a nine-person caravan that travels between inside and outside the pass, right?"

Li Jinao laughed and paused to Changdong to pick his thumbs up: "It's really not easy for those who drive the iron car. Those who know this are all the best people."

He glanced at the people on the other table with contempt, lowered his voice, mysterious: "How could those little people know about the shadow puppet team? They were bleeding from the cusp. Yes, people can't get out. Since ancient times, those who come in and out are shadow puppet teams..."

I understand that the shadow puppet coffin is indeed a shadow puppet person who is fake, and a group of nine people walks on a trail that is outside the inner and outer pass.

Ye Liuxi smiled: "I can't figure it out..."

The mask blocked her nose, and her voice was a little buzzing: "Emperor Wu of Han took such a lot of effort to send people in. The door could be locked. Why not leave a passage to allow shadow puppets to enter and exit."

Li Jinao sneered: "This is the cleverness of Emperor Wu of Han."

"At that time, the Yumen Pass was called a desperate situation. The alchemist, Yulin Guard, demon, and criminal were all sent in. The first two types of people had the ability, while the latter two types of people had the opposite intentions. I ask you, how many years can the loyalty to the emperor work? What if these people join forces to rebel? Wouldn't the emperor shoot himself in the foot?"

"The most clever way is to make you willingly stay here."

"Opening this path means you are allowed to be king. Although the environment is a bit harsh, you have slaves, fiefs and money. You will not delay enjoying emerging entertainment outside the pass. No one has taken care of you and are not subject to laws. Would you not be happy if you are left alone?"

"As for why the shadow puppets can enter and exit, the emperor first thinks of Mrs. Li's love, and the second is that people cannot come out of Yumen Pass, and monsters cannot come out. Shadow puppets are neither humans nor monsters. They can do human affairs but will not arouse monsters. This is the most suitable thing."

Of course, Ye Liuxi had never seen Li Shaoweng's shadow puppet technique, but it moved Emperor Wu of Han to cry and concealed the merchants of all dynasties who had business dealings. He should be very different from others.

She patted the table: "Look at me."

Li Jinao was inexplicably surprised.

Ye Liuxi said: "Don't you think I'm like a shadow puppet?"

Li Jinao smiled and choked on the wine: "It is difficult to distinguish between shadow puppets, but it is not impossible to distinguish: it doesn't matter if they don't eat or drink. If they are broken, they won't bleed, and they won't hurt when they are burned. The smell of burning is like burning hair. Are you a shadow puppet? You have tried all the items I mentioned."

Ye Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief.

She really doesn't want to be a shadow puppet, and she's squeezing a shadow puppet coffin with so many people at that time, it's indecent.

Ding Liu guessed that the wine had been almost done, and was afraid that he would fall as he spoke, so he quickly raised the key point first and asked: "Oh, Uncle Ao, I always talk about the shadow puppet team, where did they come out of seclusion?"

She cares about where the door is.

Li Jinao muttered: "I can't know such a big secret..."

I don’t know, Ding Liu was relieved and asked again, he felt a little depressed: “Then where are you going?”

Li Jinao's tongue was already hard to get rid of, and he slapped the rooster hanging upside down on his waist: "Go...Little Yangzhou, I heard that someone is there... making trouble. As a alchemist... After that, I have to seize the opportunity and make a name for myself. My chicken is not an ordinary chicken, extremely brave..."

He was drunk and finally fell down, lying on the cup and plate, licking his lips comfortably: "Shen brave... rare..."

Ye Liuxi stared at the chicken.

It was a coincidence that the chicken was lifting her eyelids again, and her eyes were slowly turning towards her...

Ye Liuxi slapped the table and said, "Look again, I will turn your eyes out!"

The chicken suddenly closed its eyes.

The woman at the front desk brought someone to move Li Jinao, who was drunk, back to the room.

Look at the time, it is less than an hour before the lights are turned off, so it is difficult to get a place to take a bath. No one wants to miss it. Changdong arranged a while and everyone went to wash in batches. The principle is that it is best not to leave anyone alone. At least two people are left in the room at the same time. Try to go back together if you wash the latest two.

He and Fei Tang remained behind, Gao Shen, Ding Liu and Ye Liuxi went to wash first.

Gao Shen came back after washing and replaced Fei Tang. When Fei Tang came back, he borrowed a self-made playing cards from the front desk and happily said that he would wait for Sister Xi and Xiao Liuer to come back, and he would fight against the Landlord.

Changdong sneered, and was expecting the speed of the woman taking a bath, but Fei Tang was still a little tender.

He carried his bags of clean clothes and toiletries and went all the way to the public bathroom.

The place was quite broken, and a light bulb was lit. There was a water tank near the wall where the door was entered. A rope was hung by the wall. There was a water inlet facing the tank on the wall... I had to come to the tank to carry water by myself when I was taking a bath. If there was not enough water, I pulled the rope, and some water would flow in the water inlet.

There are not many, five or six, and the wooden boards are covered with cracks, as wide as the palm. I don’t know what is the force of separation. There are grooves of running water near the wall, which lead the dirty water to a lower place.

... "What are you doing? It's not until eleven o'clock!"

… “It goes out earlier every day!”

I don’t know where the voice of the woman at the front desk floated out: “It’s almost done.”

After a second or two of silence, there was a hurry to close the doors and windows. There was no light underground. It was so difficult to see things. Changdong couldn't help calling her: "Liuxi?"

Ye Liuxi said: "Okay, come out."

As soon as the curtain of the woman's bath was lifted, a figure came out.

Chang Dong was about to reach out to hold her when he suddenly saw that the curtain was lifted up again.
