Chapter 23: Thrilling Interlude
In response to the audience's request, the magician added a program, which was to transform a living person into a living person. In order to increase the authenticity of the program, the magician asked an audience member to interact, and the magician just chose a seven or eight-year-old man.
A little girl acted as his assistant. Hundreds of years later, Yu Kun was well aware of the intrigues involved and also knew that some unscrupulous magicians would be involved in the abduction and trafficking of women and children.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, his mind was running very fast, and he suddenly thought of a way. He whispered a few words to Xiaocui and Li Pingting, and then the three of them split up.
The magician's performance was carried out in an tense and orderly manner. The little girl was brought into a tall box blocked by a curtain. After the magician's eloquent speech, the magician opened the curtain and walked out of it.
There was a girl, but instead of the little girl just now, she was replaced by a coquettish older girl. The audience burst into applause and cheers, and Yu Kun once again handed a few coins to the man holding the gong to solicit business.
After the acrobatic troupe performed its last show, it signaled to the audience that the performance was over. Yu Kun slowly moved out with the crowd, but the peripheral vision of his eyes was always observing the box that had just been transformed into a living person. The staff were moving
When picking up the box, Yu Kun saw that they had not applied any force at all, which meant that the little girl had been transferred.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yu Kun's mouth. Sure enough, he guessed it. He quickly ran to the place he had agreed with Li Pingting and Xiao Cui. He saw Li Pingting holding the little girl just now, and Xiao Cui holding her hand.
The candies were given to the little girl. The three people delivered the little girl to the door of the house based on the little girl’s description. It turned out that the little girl’s parents rented a small store in the market. Because her parents were busy, they didn’t notice their candy at all.
The daughter sneaked away.
Seeing her daughter coming back, the girl's mother hurried over. When her daughter told her story, the girl's parents took a breath. If someone hadn't rescued her, her daughter would have been killed.
The little girl's mother quickly asked her daughter who brought her back. The little girl pointed to Yu Kun and others who had already walked away.
The little girl's mother was planning to catch up with Yu Kun and others to express her gratitude, but her husband stopped her. "Madam, the person who saved Xiaohua obviously didn't want us to repay her, otherwise they wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
You'd better bow down in front of the Guanyin Buddha statue and let the Bodhisattva bless good people and have a safe life!"
The little girl's mother thought so too, but she had been standing at the street corner waiting for the three of them to go away. At this time, Xiao Cui happened to turn around and saw that the little girl's mother had been watching her, the young lady and her uncle, so she waved her arms.
Let the little girl's parents go back quickly.
Yu Kun thought about it, he couldn't let this kind of black acrobatic troupe harm people anymore. He asked Li Pingting and Xiao Cui to wait here, and he quickly rushed back to the place. But when he arrived at the group's location just now, it was already a popular venue.
Empty. Obviously, when these people saw the little girl escaping, they naturally understood that something was wrong, and they had already slipped away with oil on their feet!
Yu Kun quickly met up with Madam and Xiaocui. He didn't want this to affect Xiaocui and Madam's mood for wandering around. The three of them walked around while chatting, and unknowingly arrived at the lake outside the city. "Madam, Xiaocui, this
The lake is where we solved the case of murder and jewelry theft a few days ago!"
The three of them sat under the willow tree by the lake. Yu Kun told his wife and Xiaocui in detail the whole process of capturing the murderer that day and the recovery of both the man and the stolen goods. Xiaocui was very curious and asked every detail carefully.
Yu Kun was in a good mood and took the trouble to explain it to her. Yu Kun had already introduced the case to Li Pingting in general, but when Li Pingting heard Yu Kun talk about the details of the case again, she still listened attentively.
Seeing Xiao Cui's unfinished expression, Yu Kun simply told her the whole story of the case in detail. In the process of telling her, Yu Kun added a lot of details to make the story vivid and vivid. Xiao Cui felt as if she was listening in a teahouse.
It was like storytelling. In her heart, she admired her young lady more and more for being so discerning and finding such an excellent uncle.
"Okay, Xiaocui, I can't fill my stomach even if I listen to the story. Let's find a restaurant and chat while eating!" Yu Kun stood up, helped Li Pingting back to the bustling street, found a clean restaurant, and ordered
An elegant room. Yu Kun knew the tastes of Xiaocui and Li Pingting, so he ordered four dishes, a drawer of steamed buns and a pot of roasted rice.
The three masters and servants chatted while eating. The biggest benefit of leisurely travel is to relax. The beautiful women around him are beautiful and delicious, and then tasting the fine wine and food, Yu Kun feels that his life is like a god. Yu Kun unconsciously thinks of his previous life.
After a tragic experience, he must take pity on the people in front of him in this life and treat his wife as a treasure in his hand.
The three of them were polite to each other. Li Pingting gave Yu Kun a piece of delicious food and put it on the receiving plate, and then put another piece of delicious food on Xiao Cui's plate. Xiao Cui thanked her with her mouth full, and in her thoughts,
She should serve the young lady and her uncle. There is no reason for the young lady to serve herself.
Sometimes Yu Kun persuades Li Pingting and Xiao Cui to drink, sometimes he gives delicious food to Li Pingting and Xiao Cui, sometimes he makes some witty remarks, and sometimes he teases Xiao Cui. More often, Yu Kun tells some true stories hundreds of years later.
Years ago, Xiaocui and Li Pingting regarded Yu Kun as a god. They couldn't understand how Yu Kun had such a small head and how he knew so many things.
After the three masters and servants had eaten and drank enough, they sat in the private room and took a nap for two-quarters of an hour. The three of them were ready to continue strolling around the county town. The air in the open air was fresh, and in the spring season, the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming everywhere. Li Pingting couldn't help but chant a few words.
Ju Zhinan's seven-character quatrain: The rain of apricot blossoms makes your clothes wet, and the willow wind blows on your face without chilling it.
Yu Kun smiled slightly at Li Pingting. He knew that his wife was testing him again. Fortunately, what Yu Kun remembered most was the poem "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon", so he also quietly read two lines from Song Qi's "Spring in the Jade House":
Outside the green poplar smoke, the dawn is light and cold, and the red apricot branches are full of spring.
Li Pingting smiled very charmingly. Her original intention was to let Yu Kun continue to recite the poem. However, the two lines of Yu Kun's poem seemed to match the two lines she recited. The three of them did not wander around in the afternoon.
For what purpose, to bring more comfort to the three of them. Yu Kun was afraid that Li Pingting and Xiaocui would be too tired from walking, so he decided to go home early today.
On the way back, Yu Kun took the things he bought when he came. When he arrived at Wanbaozhai, Yu Kun ordered six dishes and a lake of good wine. After paying the money, he gave the shopkeeper his address and asked the waiter to
It was delivered half an hour later. Li Pingting and Xiao Cui both opposed Yu Kun.
Spending money indiscriminately, Yu Kun said with a smile: "I will definitely listen to my wife and Xiao Cui next time." Li Pingting and Xiao Cui knew that Yu Kun would not listen to them next time. Li Pingting and Xiao Cui knew Yu Kun
