Chapter 44 The Skeleton Man

Xu Zhiqiong really feels that he can concentrate effectively in the hook bar.

For example, by focusing on the dancer's gauze skirt, Xu Zhiqiong can concentrate all his thoughts on his eyes and observe the different characteristics of each movement without distraction.

For example, lifting up and floating have different characteristics. The former can better reflect the enthusiasm of the dancer, and the latter can better reflect the naturalness of the dance.

At dawn, Goulan ended and Xu Zhiqiong stretched himself, preparing to go back and catch up on his sleep.

A man sitting next to me came over and said hello: "This little brother, you have been sitting here for a whole hour with your eyes fixed and concentrated. You should be a person who knows how to dance."

Xu Zhiqiong stared at the man and looked him up and down.

This man was wearing a green suit and looked to be in his thirties. He was about seven feet five six (one meter seven) tall and had a slim build. His appearance was hard to describe.

The cheekbones are high, the cheeks are sunken, and the eye sockets are deeper than the cheeks.

There was a patch of blue and black under the eye sockets, which formed a sharp contrast with the sallow face.

Fortunately, I didn't notice him just now. This guy is just a sick skeleton. It's quite scary to meet him at night.

Xu Zhiqiong clasped his fists and said, "Nice to meet you." He turned to leave, but was stopped by the man again.

"Little brother, I think your temperament is compatible with mine. It's still early. Don't leave in a hurry. I'll order another bottle of wine. Let's chat here for a while. The matinee will start soon. The storyteller will start in a moment.

arrive."

Goulan is divided into matinee and night venues. Like the Peach Blossom Shed in Beiyuan, there are not many customers at night, and there are even less customers during the day, so only the night venue is open.

However, the Chimonanthus shed in Qiaotou Wa City is one of the best large hook bars, with almost no interruptions in daily and night performances.

This skeleton man sincerely invited Xu Zhiqiong to ignore him, and replied: "I feel bored after staying here for a long time. I want to go out for a walk. Brother, please do as you please."

The skeleton man said in surprise: "You only came at five o'clock, and you only stayed for more than an hour. Is this considered a long time?"

Looking at the skeleton man, his eyes were blurred and his expression was dull. Unexpectedly, he was quite attentive. He knew that I was here at the fifth hour.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I wonder when brother came?"

The skeleton man thought carefully for a moment and said in a daze: "Yesterday, no, it was already dawn, it should be said the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday?" Xu Zhiqiong asked in shock, "Have you been here for two days?"

The skeleton man smiled and said, "Two days are nothing. Ten days don't even feel like a long time in a good place like Wintersweet shed. I once stayed here for half a month."

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have other important matters, so I'll take my leave."

This skeleton man gave Xu Zhiqiong a heads-up. If you hang around in places like Goulan for many years, you will become like him!

The skeleton man was still reluctant to leave Xu Zhiqiong: "Little brother, come earlier tonight, I will still be here waiting for you."

Just wait, I'll never come again.

I, Xu Zhiqiong, a good man with great ambitions, how can I waste my time in this rotten place?

Back home, Xu Zhiqiong took a nap and began to study his skills carefully.

If you want to exert the power of your innate skills, you must freely control the meaning and image in a very short period of time, so that the image can be generated in the Ren channel anytime and anywhere, and the meaning can explode in the Chong channel at will!

Only by practicing your skills to absolute proficiency will you be able to fight back when you encounter that eunuch next time.



At dusk, the skeleton man found Xu Zhiqiong at the corner of the hook fence.

"Little brother, didn't you agree to stay at the same place as before? Why are you sitting here?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly and said: "Change the place and see more clearly."

He is really not addicted to Goulan, he just thinks that Goulan can help him get rid of distracting thoughts and calm his mind.

The skeleton man laughed and said, "It's not easy to see clearly. Come with me to the private room on the second floor."

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No need, I will sit down for a while and then leave."

"You don't have to spend any money. I'm just doing it for my brother. I'll just ask you."

The skeleton man took Xu Zhiqiong to the second floor and asked for a private room.

The private room in the winter plum shed is much larger than the peach blossom shed. There are two recliners in the private room, and there are poufs and tables among the recliners.

The skeleton man ordered two roast chickens, a jar of wine, and two plates of fresh fruit. He was very generous.

"Brother, isn't this place nice?"

Xu Zhiqiong was a little embarrassed and stared at the stage and said, "I can't see very clearly."

The skeleton man laughed loudly and said, "Isn't it easy to see clearly?"

He called two dancers to come up and drink with him.

This brother is so cheerful.

The delicate dancer can dance on her knees, but Xu Zhiqiong feels that the artistic content has dropped a lot. There are many times when she lifts up, and almost none when she floats.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xu Zhiqiong realized that he could not continue to degenerate. He made an excuse and went out to use the toilet.

Although the Wintersweet shed is a luxurious hook-and-rail structure, it cannot have an indoor toilet. Xu Zhiqiong wanted to escape by peeing.

It was not yet the second watch, and it was a busy time in Wa City. The lights in every shop were brightly lit. Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to stay for a long time. He did not have much confidence in his self-control.

After leaving Wa City, Xu Zhiqiong took a small road home. This small road was very secluded with almost no pedestrians.

The more secluded the better, it seems difficult for the fallen Xu Zhiqiong to resist the temptation of Wang'an River.

When you get home, you must reflect on yourself and see if your virtues still seem to be a big deal.

After walking in the alley for a long time, Xu Zhiqiong stopped.

There seemed to be someone following behind me.

The alley was so quiet, and the man seemed not far away from him. With Xu Zhiqiong's hearing, it stands to reason that he should have heard the footsteps long ago, but the man's footsteps were too light, and the sound of a civet cat slowly moving forward.

Not too much different.

Are these really human footsteps?

Xu Zhiqiong turned around and saw that there was someone behind him.

The figure of that man was somewhat familiar.

His footsteps did not stop, and when he got closer, he found that his face was more familiar.

It was a dark and fuzzy face.

It's that eighth-grade eunuch!

Xu Zhiqiong's first reaction was to run for his life, but fortunately he calmed down.

He couldn't run, because he couldn't run away from the opponent at all, and exposing his back to the opponent would mean death.

But what else can I do instead of running?

Back then, with a lantern in his hand, he could barely deal with the opponent. Now, with his bare hands, the opponent may kill him in one round.

The situation was critical, but Xu Zhiqiong did not lose his position. The results of practicing in the hook bar should be put to use now.

The image originates from the Ren channel and the intention comes from the Chong channel.

Xu Zhiqiong controlled his skills and was ready to go.

You only have one chance. The moment he touches you, activate your skills immediately to suck him dry and kill him.

The eunuch got closer and closer. The distance between the two sides was only more than ten feet, and the man spoke.

"Master Denglang, I have had a hard time looking for you."

Xu Zhiqiong looked calm: "What do you want from me?"

"I want to ask where my wife is?"

"That's not your wife at all."

"That's my wife. There was a quarrel between husband and wife, but it caused some misunderstandings among the adults."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Don't tell that joke. How did you, a eunuch, get a wife?"

The eunuch's tone changed: "Master Denglang, please speak with some caution."

"Am I wrong? Aren't you a eunuch? Take off your clothes and let me test you!"

Provoking him and making him take action in anger will make it easier to predict his actions.

The eunuch was indeed irritated: "Since I don't want to talk nicely, I have to find another way to talk to you."

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you. Kidnapping a woman is a capital crime, and attacking an officer is also a capital crime. Eunuch, do you understand your crime?"

The eunuch tapped his toes and was about to rush towards Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong activated his image and prepared to activate his skills.

At the critical moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Little brother, go to the toilet, why are you here?"

The voice came from behind the eunuch. The eunuch was startled and turned around quickly, only to see a skinny man standing behind him.

It's the skeleton man. Why is he here?

The skeleton man staggered to Xu Zhiqiong's side and turned to look at the eunuch: "Who is this man?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "I don't know him either. For some reason he insists on asking me for his wife."

"Are you looking for a lady?" The skeleton man looked at the eunuch, "There are many ladies in Wa City. I know the place well. Can I accompany you to look for her?"

The eunuch took two steps back and said, "It seems that I have recognized the wrong person, offended, offended."

In the blink of an eye, the eunuch disappeared into the night. Xu Zhiqiong wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

Who is this skeleton man?

Being able to appear quietly behind the eunuch without either Xu Zhiqiong or the eunuch noticing, it seems that this person has a high level of cultivation.

Why is he close to me?

Is it good intention or evil intention?

While Xu Zhiqiong was trying to figure it out, the skeleton man looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Little brother, didn't you mean to use the toilet?"

Xu Zhiqiong pointed back and said randomly: "The toilet is over there."

The skeleton man smiled and said: "You don't have to go over there, there are toilets in Wa City."

Xu Zhiqiong pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there a toilet in Wa City?"

"You don't even know this? Come with me, I will take you there."

Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to go to the fence anymore: "Brother, I'm tired and want to go back and have a rest."

"Where are you going back? What better place than Goulan? Are you tired of watching the dance? I'll take you to another place to listen to music."

Xu Zhiqiong repeatedly declined and said: "Brother, to be honest, I am the lantern-carrying man in charge of the lantern office, and I have to watch the night tonight."

Knowing that I am the lantern holder, he must not dare to pester me anymore.

Unexpectedly, the skeleton man smiled and said: "Hello, lantern holder, I am your friend Wu Qianhu. You stay with me tonight, so you don't have to go on night patrol."
