The dust settles

Chapter 44

The boss changed me to a girl she thought was clean.The girl came up to me, and the girls laughed.The boss took out silver dollars from my pocket, and the boss said, "This is the price, and all my girls have prices."

She took out ten silver dollars from my pocket, counted them, put back five, put four in a gold-painted scarlet box, left one for the girls, and said, "I treat you , you go to the street to buy candy to eat."

The girls laughed and flew out like bees that have exploded their nest.

The boss tied the key to the cash box around his waist and said, "The carpenter is installing the floor, I'll go and watch. If the young master is happy, he will reward the girl with two powder money."

From the place where the house was built, there was a scent of pine wood with a little alcohol, and the woman in his arms made people's hearts sway.

My man's things are about to move, but his body is as lazy as the weather.

The girl was very nice, she took off all my clothes and told me to just lie there and not move, and let her do everything.She did a really good job, and I made myself comfortable without moving a muscle.Afterwards, the two of us lay naked and talked.Only then did I realize that they were not some theater troupe, but a group of women who specialized in business with their bodies.I became their first business here.I asked her if there was any way to deal with those old chieftains who had more than enough heart for women, and she said yes.I said, well, these old guys, they have plenty of silver, let's start their business today.

In the evening, the toasts enjoyed the women who collected the money.

The next day, when the old guys got together again, everyone looked more radiant than usual.Someone even asked me why our own girls don't have such abilities.

The female chieftain slept alone in an empty room, with blue eye circles. She said bitterly to my father, "Look at your Maiqi's house. Your eldest son brought opium, and the foolish son brought such a woman."

Toast Maggie said, "What did you bring? You also brought something for us all."

"I don't believe women are any different," said the female chieftain.

All the chieftains said: "Shut up, every woman is very different."

Only chieftain Wangbo didn't say anything.The women singing upstairs are beyond reach, but the girls in the big tent are real and wonderful.

Now, the chieftains suddenly realized, and said, "Master Maiqi invited us to enjoy these wonderful girls."

Master Huang said that these girls are called prostitutes, and the big tent is called a brothel.

The owner of the brothel said to me: "The young master has two special girls, you can't touch the other girls."

"Why not?"

"Those girls are unclean and sick."

"What disease?"

"A disease that rots a man's things."

I can't guarantee how this thing on my body will rot.The boss called two girls and lifted up their skirts.My God, one girl's place has no door, it's completely a cave, while the other girl's place is like a mushroom, and the stench is like a rotting dead cow.

That night, thinking of what it would be like with a person, I couldn't muster any interest in women.So I stayed at home alone.The chieftains all went to brothels.

I couldn't sleep, so I got up to drink tea with Mr. Huang.I asked him what's wrong with those whores.He said, "Syphilis."

"syphilis?"

The master said: "Master, I brought the opium, not the syphilis."

From his tense expression, I knew that syphilis was very serious.

He said, "My God, there's even this here, and what else can't be there."

I said, "The chieftains are not afraid at all. The brothel house has been repaired, and the chieftains don't want to leave."

In a brothel, each girl has her own room upstairs.The hall downstairs is brightly lit at night.Upstairs there is the aroma of the girls, and downstairs, the smell of wine, meat and peas in a cauldron.In the center of the hall, a golden trumpet leans against a hand crank, singing all day long.

The master said: "Let them go, their time is over, let them get syphilis, let them feel happy, let's worry about our own affairs."

Master Huang also told me some stories about syphilis. After the story, I smiled and said to him: "At least three days, I don't want to eat anymore."

Master Huang said: "For people, money is powerful, but it is not as good as opium. Opium is not as good as syphilis. But what I want to tell you is not this."

I asked what he wanted to say.

He raised his voice and said to me, "Master, here they come!"

"Are they coming?"

"Yes, they are here!"

I asked the master who they were.He said he was Han Chinese.I laughed, listening to his tone, as if he himself was not Han, as if my mother was not Han, there were many shops in my town who were not Han, and there were a few girls in the brothels who were not Han.Listening to his tone, it seems that I have never seen Han people at all.I myself am the son of a Han woman!
However, his expression was very serious, and he said, "I mean the Han people of color are coming!"

Now - I understand.Colorless Han Chinese came to this place purely to earn some money, like those businessmen, or just to survive, like the master himself.But the colored ones are different.They want our land to be painted their colours.The white Han people think this way. If the red Han people succeed in the war, it is said that they want to dye every piece of land with the color they worship.We know they're fighting in their own places, and it's a close call.Every caravan from China will bring newspapers, because I have a wise master who loves newspapers like opium.He was restless when he couldn't see the newspaper, and sighed when he saw it.He always told me, "They're fighting harder. They're fighting harder."

Master Huang used to be a provincial councilor, and he got to this point because he opposed the fight against the red Han people, but he was not happy that the red Han people won.At that time, in our place, among the common people, there were rumors that the Han people were coming.The clerk said that what the common people believe will always happen, even if it sounds unreasonable, but if so many people talk about the same topic, it is equivalent to casting the same spell at the same time and expressing the same will to heaven.

The master always said that they were still hugging each other tightly around the waist, unable to free their hands.But now, suddenly, he said to me, "Here they come!"

I asked the master, "Do they want to see me?"

The master laughed and said that this was the real master's idea.

I said, "Okay, let's call 'em and see what color we like."

The master still laughed and said, "Young master's tone is like a woman picking a piece of silk to make a dress." He said, these people came quietly, and they didn't want to see anyone.They don't want people to know that they are Han people of color.

I asked him how he knew.

He said: "I am your master, shouldn't I know? I am not happy to hear this kind of tone. When he saw my face change color, he changed his words and said, "Young master forgot, your master used to be the same There are colors, so I can recognize him when I see him. "I asked these people what they wanted to do. The master told me to go back and rest, saying that these people don't want to do anything yet. They will only do what we allow, and they will be more cautious than other people in the town. They just come to see, come have a look.

I go back to rest.

Before I fell asleep, my mind was still thinking: syphilis; still thinking: them.Thinking of them, I plan to take a walk in the streets tomorrow together to see if I can recognize those Han people as having colors.

On this day, I got up late, my heart was empty, and I felt that something was missing.What is missing?I have no idea.But I just felt like something was missing.I asked people what was missing today. They looked around, such as the accessories on my body, such as the valuable utensils we placed in the building, and told me that nothing was missing.

It was Solan Zelang who said, "Today, my wife didn't sing."

Everyone said: "She sits upstairs and sings every day, but she won't sing today!"

Yes, as soon as the sun came out, Tana sat upstairs behind the carved railing and sang. Originally, some time ago, I already felt that time was speeding up, and it was getting faster and faster.Just think about how much has happened during this time.The chieftains are here, the syphilis is here, and the colored Han people are here.It was only when my wife sang to seduce young Chieftain Wangpo that time slowed down again.

Today, as soon as she stopped singing, I felt dizzy and time sped up.

The chieftains hadn't come back from the brothel on the street yet, and the servants accompanied me out of the house. The female chieftain, who was useless in the brothel, looked at me with smug eyes.It's quiet everywhere, but my heart is beating like when I'm galloping on a horse and the wind is blowing past my ears.The chieftains came out of the brothel and were coming towards us, they were going back to sleep.In the big new house on the street, time is turned upside down.In the sound of music and the smell of wine and meat, they had a carnival all night, and now they are all walking lazily, going back to sleep.Looking at their lazy figures, I thought, something happened.Later, I remembered the topic I had with Mr. Huang yesterday, so I led a group of people to the street.I'm going to recognize those Han Chinese who have crept here.Walking to the bridge, we met the chieftains coming out of the brothel.

I saw that several people's noses were redder than before.I thought, yes, they got syphilis from those girls.

I laughed.

Lol they don't know what the girls have on them.
