Chapter 89 This is not an ordinary night
The coolness behind the neck can still be remembered clearly now, so it is impossible to think too much.
Lin Suqing was a little nervous. Perhaps because it was night, there was inevitably more yin energy. He had a light of inspiration and quickly picked up the Xiaotian pen and drew the talisman order he had taught to him on the wall he leaned on to the left.
The brush has never been stained with any ink, but after writing, there is a golden light that follows the brush, and a dazzling light appears. Whenever a stroke passes, the golden light will dim and disappear.
Lin Suqing was shocked. Last time he was drawing the talisman by himself, he used his fingers to paint on the body of Ying Wang during the day, and there was no indication. But this time, was it because of the divine power of the Xiaotian Dog?
Fortunately, the range of the golden light was extremely small. Lin Suqing drew a talisman with his left hand and used his five fingers to cover each stroke with his right hand, so that he could not be discovered in the dark.
When he finished drawing the last stroke, the golden light suddenly shone. He was shocked and hurriedly covered it with both hands, but still could not stop the glimmer of light from overflowing from the fingers.
Fortunately, the golden light of the talisman was fleeting. When he tentatively let go of his hand and looked at it, there was no trace of the place he had just written. If it weren't for the golden light, he wouldn't even know whether this talisman was effective.
In addition to being surprised, the noise from the brothel in front of the brothel stopped abruptly, and suddenly became quiet. It must be something strange. Lin Suqing hurriedly poked out half of his head to peek quietly.
It turned out that the woman was swearing to kneel down and not leave. The Yinghua and the servants had no choice but to treat her, so they went to invite the madam.
The madam was nearly 70 years old and had a very serious appearance. Her face was painted white like a wall paint, her thin lips were blood-red, she was not tall, but she was very imposing. As soon as she came out, all the noises that had just passed were suddenly silent.
Although her face was covered with powder, she could not hide the wrinkles pulled from the corners of her eyes. The lines looked like gullies and scars, which made her look serious and very cruel.
However, except for the corners of her eyes, probably because of being too thin, the skin on her face was considered tighter than those of her age. There was no other obvious wrinkles, only a thin layer of skin draped at the connection between her chin and her neck, showing that she was no longer young.
A spectator upstairs joked: "Madam Madam, are you going to take in that big belly?"
The madam looked up and smiled at the orioles and guests, "A small thing, don't disturb your good intentions. Sisters, why don't you go and entertain all the adults." Her voice was as neat as her aura, not as frivolous as the sisters of the orioles.
When the orioles heard this, they hurriedly greeted the guests like a flower and went back to the pavilion to continue drinking and having fun. There was no noise at the fence, and the orioles who were recruiting guests were left leaning against the fence and continuing to watch the excitement. But no one dared to speak loudly anymore, they only dared to cover their lips with silk and whisper to each other.
When the woman heard that this was the madam in this building, she immediately knocked her head down and begged, "Old mother, please take me in for one night, please."
"We are a brothel here, so it's not convenient to take in such a special identity as you, so you'd better leave." The madam refused mercilessly.
The woman trembled violently when she raised her head again. When she raised her head, her forehead was already broken, and strands of blood were flowing down from the mud and sand.
She begged with her stomach in her arms, "If you don't take it in, we mother and son will have nothing to die."
She didn't cry, but the despair between her words made the servants and the Yinghua around her look shocked.
Although I don’t know what nonsense the woman was talking about, everyone felt inexplicable panic. As if the woman had brought some danger, everyone looked at the madam. The timid oriole flowers had even had tears in their eyes.
In front of the building, Lin Suqing looked at the black shadow hidden in the night on the roof diagonally opposite. He gathered the sharp pen in his hand tightly, and he would not be calm tonight, but he was ready to go.
The madam remained silent and stood there looking around, even looking at the place where Lin Suqing was hiding. Lin Suqing hurriedly retreated and was almost discovered by the madam.
"Who are you?" When the sound on the madam sounded again, Lin Suqing felt uneasy for a long time, thinking that he had been discovered. Until he heard the woman's bitter voice sound: "A miserable person."
Only then did he feel relieved and poke out half of his face to peek.
The madam was still standing in her original position just now, and she had not walked out of the stone steps in front of the brothel. She was now staring at the woman with her calmness compared with the horror around her, which made her momentum feel more oppressive.
The woman frowned and stroked her stomach. There was no tears on her face. She was just like that. She could see her mood that was very sad, painful, and desperate. However, while she was helpless, she wanted to live safely and give birth to a child in her belly.
The madam stared at the woman and then gave a wink at a slightly fat and smart middle-aged man beside him. The man dressed differently from other servants, showing that his status was higher than that of them, such as the turtle man in this brothel, or the tent housekeeper, the madam's housekeeper.
He then went forward, stood beside the woman, pulled out the tobacco pot placed on his waist, picked up the woman's chin, plucked it to the left, and then to the right, showing the woman's appearance to the madam in full.
Lin Suqing looked at the woman today, but she didn't look at it in a quick glance. At this moment, she saw that the woman had a beautiful face, especially her eyes, which were very bright and her eyes were very bold. When the madam looked at her, she looked back at the madam.
But she was just pretending to be bold because she was trembling and swallowing her throat many times, so she was very scared and nervous.
Then, the madam nodded, and the middle-aged man put away the pot and left.
"You have to know where this place is." The madam said with a stern look on her face.
"This building can stand for more than ten years and still flourish, so you must be a powerful female hero. I believe you are the most sympathetic woman and children who are desperate, and you will definitely not be willing to save you."
Just like when he asked Lin Suqing to hide her during the day, he said this to the point of despair, leaving only two options: agree or disagree. I just don’t know how this madam would choose?
Lin Suqing held his breath and continued to watch the excitement. After a while, the old madam's voice slowly rang out: "There are no extra guest rooms here for you to stay."
The madam had room for words?! Obviously the woman could hear it. She hurriedly knelt down a few steps and approached the madam, begging: "Either stable or woodshed, I only need to have a place to live."
This woman was very smart, which made Lin Suqing really unable to imagine what happened that made her desperate and she still had to hide everywhere when she was about to give birth.
There was another silence in front of the building. Lin Suqing sometimes looked at the situation in front of the door, and sometimes looked at the hidden figure opposite. He was ready. If the figure suddenly rushed down and attacked, he would stand up. If the madam did not take it in, he would continue to follow the woman in secret.
I don’t know if it was curiosity or his usual nosy temperament was inspiring, but he always felt that he should follow and help.
This kind of mood is like he was cheated for helping someone, but when he met someone who needed it, he would still reach out to help him. It was like he met an aunt on the street forcibly dragging a little boy away. The little boy cried and refused to leave. He went up to ask, and then he learned that the other person was a mother and son. Even the person involved criticized him, but later he would still ask about it when he encountered similar situations...
Many people have said that he is stupid, but he doesn't agree. What if? What if it causes regrets because he didn't lend a helping hand in time?
He always felt that when he was about to die, what he recalled before his death must not be a happy past, but a regret and regret left in life. He did not want to have too many regrets and regrets in his life.
"Where is your relative?" the madam asked suddenly.
The woman knelt upright and said with a close look on her face: "No relatives or reasons."
The madam seemed to be shocked, and instantly returned to her true colors. She asked the woman, "Are you really no relative or no reason?"
Lin Suqing had some time, but his eyesight was much better than before. For example, at this moment, he was hiding behind the corner outside the wall of this brothel, and the madam stood in front of the door of the building. However, he could still clearly see the surprise that flashed by in the madam's eyes.
Why was it a surprise? Just as Lin Suqing was puzzled, the woman nodded and said, "It's true."
Immediately, she kowtowed again. Lin Su Qingguang looked at him from a distance and felt a pain in his forehead.
