Chapter 47 Chapter 47: The Geisha's Quest

In the hall over there, after Master Ma finished his performance, the audience applauded like thunder.When Li Huamei turned back to look for Zhao Guan, seeing that he was no longer by her side, she blurted out and asked, "Hey, where is Mr. Jiang?" Zhang Lei has been in love with this junior sister for a long time, he felt sour when he heard her tone was lost, and said, "Young Master Jiang, go away."You see, he's listening to a whore play in the inner hall. Li Huamei turned her head, and she saw Mr. Jiang leaning against the door of the inner hall, listening to the piano music attentively, with an intoxicated expression on his face.She walked up a few steps, looked around, and saw the extraordinary beauty of the singing girl in the hall at a glance. Mr. Jiang was obviously not only attracted by the sound of the piano, but also fell in love with the beauty of the singing girl.She felt a burst of unhappiness in her heart for no reason, stomped her feet unconsciously, and walked back.Seeing her expression, Zhang Lei felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say, so he said, "Junior Sister, this Master Ma's skill is not bad, but he is not as good as your senior brother."I'm going to show off some of the martial arts master taught me, what do you think?Li Huamei frowned and said, "What's there to show off on this occasion?"Turn around and walk away.Zhang Lei followed up and called out, "Junior Sister, where are you going?"

Li Huamei felt very impatient, she turned her head and said, "It's hot here, I'll go out to get some air, and I'll be back in a while."Go straight into the back hall. At this time, the guests were either watching the martial arts exercise in the hall, or they were watching the play in front of the stage in the front yard, and the back hall was empty.Li Huamei walked around the back hall alone for a few times, only to feel her heart beating fast and her cheeks to feel hot. It took her a while to understand why she was so restless: Ever since she first saw Mr. Strangely, when she separated from him at this time, she secretly hoped to see him a few more times and talk to him a little longer.Just now when she saw him obsessively looking at the singing girl playing the piano and singing, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart.

Thinking of this, Li Huamei couldn't help sighing.She had also heard of the name of young master Jiang, and knew that he was a well-known playboy in the city, who lingered in brothels all day long, was unrestrained and notorious.For those who saw him this time, these rumors somehow flew to the back of their minds, and they felt that he was gentle and handsome, with a witty conversation, and there seemed to be many unknown secrets hidden in his sly eyes.She has always been proud and reserved, and at this moment she couldn't help being very annoyed: How can I, Li Huamei, fall for such a man?I'm afraid I drank two too many glasses tonight, right?

At this moment, a woman walked into the back hall. Li Huamei looked up, but saw that the person who came was a graceful girl, wearing a light red blouse, with a beautiful face and a pitiful expression. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. It was the singing girl who played the piano and sang in the inner hall just now.Li Huamei was stunned, and thought: This girl is really beautiful, no wonder Young Master Jiang is obsessed with her. But she saw the singing girl walking straight towards her, saluted with all her clothes on her back, and said, "Excuse me, is this Miss Li?"The voice is as soft as water.Seeing that she seemed to be looking for her, Li Huamei couldn't help being surprised, nodded and said: "I am."May I ask who is the girl?

The geisha saluted again, with a shy and apologetic look on her face, and said softly: "Little girl has no intention of disturbing Miss."The little girl Fang Rouqing is a Suzhou singing girl. Liu Sishao invited me to come to my house to sing for the old lady. Li Huamei stared at her, feeling even more puzzled in her heart: Why did the singing prostitute in Liu Sishao's family come to me?As a young lady, she had little contact with people in the brothel, so she immediately asked: Miss Fang, I have never met you before, what can I learn from you? Fang Rouqing hurriedly said: "Don't dare."Wei Yi hesitated, then said: "I heard from Fourth Young Master Liu that Miss Li is from the Jianghu and is familiar with the affairs of the Jianghu.The little girl has something to ask, I hope Miss Li can clear up the doubts for the little girl.

Li Huamei was even more curious, thinking: There are so many people from the Jianghu who came to the banquet today, why did she only find me?Yes, I think it's because I'm a woman.She is a young singing girl, and it is inconvenient for her to go and chat with those Jiang Hu men.Convenience: You say it. Fang Rouqing took a breath and said, "May I ask if Miss Li has heard of the name Hushan Doctor Doctor?" Li Huamei was even more amazed. How could a young singing girl who lived among rich and powerful brothels ask Hushan Doctor?She pondered and said: Hushan Medical Hero is famous in the martial arts world, and everyone knows it.But I don't know why Miss Fang asked?Fang Rouqing showed joy on her face, and asked again: Miss Li has indeed heard of it!May I ask where is Hushan?

Li Huamei looked at her and said: "I don't know very well. I heard that it is near Pingshanwei in Shandong."Miss Fang, you are obviously not from the martial arts world, but why do you ask about medical heroes?Fang Rouqing blushed, and said: I heard people say that chivalrous doctors are exquisite in medicine, and I was curious, so I asked, it's nothing, but I'm bothering Miss Li.Thank you Miss Li.He bowed to her and left in a hurry. Li Huamei felt very strange, and was hesitating whether to go after her and ask, but Fang Rouqing had already left the hall quickly.Li Huamei thought of the singing girl's appearance and piano skills, and thought of Mr. Jiang's eyes when he stared at her, and suddenly became troubled again. He felt that the room was stuffy and uncomfortable, so he walked to the backyard.

The backyard of the Liu family was very large and quietly empty.Li Huamei raised her head to look at the moon, and a round of mid-autumn moon was bright and clear, shedding clear light from the branches.She strolled to the depths of the backyard, came to a small pool, sat on the boulder with her knees hugged, feeling the cool breeze blowing on her face, very refreshing, her heart gradually calmed down, and she hummed a tune in a low voice. Not long after, a dark cloud drifted past, blocking the full moon, and the surroundings gradually darkened.Li Huamei was about to go back to the west hall, when she suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps, as if a person was rushing over on dead leaves, the lightness of the footsteps was really good.Li Huamei hurriedly kept silent, and listened attentively, but heard a woman's voice: "Have you got it?"Another woman said: "It's easy to catch."But when he heard the footsteps of the two people running towards him, one of them went straight to the edge of the pool, and when he saw Li Huamei, he was startled and stopped immediately.

Li Huamei didn't know if the person who came was an enemy or a friend, she was about to ask a question, but the person had already rushed towards her.Li Huamei screamed, and quickly stepped back a few steps, the man stepped up to keep up, forcing Li Huamei to the edge of the pool.Only now did Li Huamei see clearly that in front of her was an old woman with wrinkled face, her eyes narrowed, and she grinned at her, revealing a half-missed tooth. Li Huamei was shocked, she took out the throwing knife and wanted to shoot at the enemy, but the old woman was too close to her, and the throwing knife was difficult to shoot.With a hey sound, the old woman reached out and grabbed her wrist, snatched her throwing knife, and slashed at her head with the other hand.Li Huamei felt that her slashing force was extremely fierce, and she was either dead or seriously injured, she wanted to reach out her hand to block it, but her whole body felt sore and weak, and she couldn't even raise her hand.Just at the critical moment of life and death, I suddenly heard a voice shouting from afar: Let her go!

The old woman stopped suddenly, let go of Li Huamei, and disappeared in the dark.Li Huamei fell limply to the ground, feeling her body dripping with cold sweat.She took a breath and tried her best to stand up, but she felt numb all over her body, her hands and feet were sluggish, and she couldn't control her.At this time, dark clouds covered the moon and the courtyard was completely dark. She was afraid and wanted to scream out, but she was also afraid that the old woman would come back and kill her, so she could only lie on the ground panting. At this moment, she suddenly felt that there was an extra person beside her, and she couldn't help but let out a low cry.The man came to her side at some point, but she didn't notice it at all.In the darkness, I vaguely saw the man bent down, stretched out his hand to gently hug himself, and walked out of the backyard.Li Huamei was startled and afraid: who is this person?Where is he going to take me?

She couldn't see the man's face clearly in the dark, so she asked in a low voice: Who are you?The man didn't answer, he carried her to the front of the house, and then put her back on him and put her down.Li Huamei's legs had regained consciousness and she was able to stand, but she was still unstable. Suddenly, she felt her waist warm up, but it was the man who stretched out his hand to support her waist.She felt the heat coming from those hands, and her heart was pounding. She stayed for a moment, and suddenly felt the numbness in her body disappear, and her waist loosened, and those hands had already moved away.She hurriedly turned her head to look, but the person behind her was nowhere to be seen.She looked around, only to see the trees and flowers in the backyard, and the rockery and gazebo still in place, but how could there be anyone there?
