Lixia lowered her head and tried her best to squeeze out a smile.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later, and she would not resist.

This is Yoshihara. The women here have no past or future, and some have only real existence, the present self.

Chapter 52 Infiltration

The cramped wooden house exudes the smell of incense, the furnishings around it are very delicate, and there are warm quilts on the wooden boards.

The candles are dimly lit, steaming food is placed on the chopping board, and Li Xia is by the side, serving the ronin to drink.

For about ten minutes, the guest didn't do anything to her, didn't even say a word, just concentrated on eating there, as if she was really hungry.

A bowl of pork chop rice, a bowl of miso soup, tempura, glutinous rice balls... these dazzling array of food, after eating one stack and another stack.

"Have you come from far away, guest?"

"Um."

"What kind of place is it?"

Lixia spoke nervously as she had been trained before, and tried her best to show her enthusiasm. Offending wealthy guests in this place would be swept out of the house.

huh... rip...

After ten minutes of silence, there was only the sound of eating in the room. Li Xia, who didn't get a response, was a little embarrassed. The ronin in front of him picked up the bowl and sucked it into his mouth. After a while, a full bowl of rice was eaten. 's clean.

He turned his face to the side, only half of his face leaking out from under the messy hair.

"Can I have another set meal?"

"Well, yes."

The recovered Li Xia nodded.

"A set meal for fifteen people? Is it true or false?"

"It's the first time I've had such an edible guest."

Li Xia pulled the tatami sliding door, and then handed out the plate. Hearing a lot of discussion not far away, he immediately felt that he couldn't find the north. This guest is really too good to eat.

"Then... what should I call you?"

"My surname is Lin."

"Oh, then I'll call you Lin Sang."

"Uh...the taste is a bit strong, let's change it and call me Lin Jun."

Perceiving that the guest surnamed Lin was a little embarrassed for some reason, Li Xia smiled and nodded: "Okay, Lin Jun, the bathing place is next to him."

After seeing him walk in, Li Xia cheered herself up, and immediately prepared to follow up to serve.

With a bang, Li Xia bumped into the man's back.

"If I take a bath, I can do it by myself. I don't need to help, thank you."

The man closed the door after speaking, leaving Li Xia sitting on the ground with a confused look on his face.

Where did she not do well? It was also before. She clearly asked something but got no response. Is there something wrong with her?

To be unemployed?

In this cold winter, Ni's mother was kicked out of the house and starved on the street...

That image suddenly appeared in Li Xia's mind. Her face was pale, she was trained exactly as usual, why is she so unpleasant to the guests?

About an hour later, there was a sound in the bathroom.

"Do you have a change of bathrobes here? Cleaner."

"Yes, the bathrobes in this room cost a lot of money to buy, and guests will throw them away after one use. Just wait."

Hearing this, Li Xia got into the closet and took out a soft white bathrobe. The good stuff from Yoshiwara Oriyo would cost several thousand yen for a piece.

After the guests took over, Li Xia's mood improved a little.

"It doesn't matter, maybe this distinguished guest is the first time to visit Guo, and he is not used to the feeling of being served. If I work harder later, I will definitely be able to please him."

There was a splash of water, and the shadow on the sliding door was slightly slender.

After the door was opened, Li Xia was so frightened that she sat down on the ground again.

The guests put on their bathrobes and wiped their wet hair with a dry towel. From this angle, they could just see the open-minded collarbone.

Li Xia stared blankly at his face, and did not recover for a long time, only then did she notice a long knife scattered on the ground next to the bathroom, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, that's what I use for self-defense."

Lin Yu twisted his neck and made a crackling sound, which was refreshing.

After walking all the way, by boat and car, when I asked where Yoshihara was, no one gave him an accurate word.

Those boatmen and drivers all showed an inexplicable smile, and then took him to a wooden house with a false curtain. Does he look so unreasonable? In the end, I still had to ask those kind-hearted traffickers for directions. I helped the yamen solve a few thieves in the middle of the way, and finally got here. I have to say that the sun-knife forged by the Iron Tomb is really resistant and has cut so many people. There was no sign of a curling blade at all.

"Lin Jun, are you... a samurai?"

Li Xia swallowed his throat.

Lin Yu glanced at her.

At this moment, this little girl's young body is wrapped in a kimono, and her face is covered with a lot of rouge. She doesn't have the spirituality and beauty that she just stood at the door facing the sky... Well, it may be that Lin Yu is preconceived and wearing colored glasses. , he couldn't appreciate geisha makeup anyway.

"Samurai? Isn't it time to carry out the ban on the sword? It's better not to call me that."

Lin Yu smiled.

"I see."

Li Xia tried her best to suppress her fearful voice. She was actually somewhat flattering. After all, those idle ronin like to call themselves samurai. As early as a hundred years ago, the status of samurai was very noble. The staff of the big man, the geisha training course taught how to deal with such people.

Afterwards, Li Xia looked at the guest and seemed to be pacing around the room.

"Lin Jun, what are you looking for?"

"Oh...it's nothing, it's just something you care about a little bit. I want to ask you a few questions, okay?"

Lixia nodded and said, "No problem."

"How old are you this year?"

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, did he return to his normal track after all?

"Twelve years old."

As she said that, she took a deep breath, and then began to take off the clothes on her right shoulder, but when she tried to seduce the guest with the look she had learned, she found that the guest did not look at her at all, but continued to look at her. Walking casually in the room, looking at the ceiling and the like.

"That...Lin Jun."

"I'm actually here because I care about one of your courtesans, but I want to get to know her in advance so that I can get close to her."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Li Xia showed a stunned look.

Oirans are no better than ordinary geisha, and they have high autonomy. Generally speaking, although they will see money, but if they don't like the man anyway, it is difficult for them to be the guests of the curtain no matter how much money they spend.

However, she was still a little puzzled. Since this Lin Jun didn't care about her, why did he spend so much money on her? You can ask someone to ask about the Hua Kui with just a little money.

"I don't know who the oiran you want to ask is?"

"Kyogokuya's top card, Fernhime."

Chapter 53

Fernhime?

Li Xia showed a slightly frightened look.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person,"

There was a very friendly smile on the boy's face. If you didn't look at this tall figure, you would even feel that this young and handsome face still had a childlike innocence.

Is it an illusion?

Li Xia had lingering fears. For a moment just now, she felt that she was facing a beast that had been hungry for a long time. He longed to say the word Fern Ji, but it was not because of the desire for love between men and women, but because of the truth. I want to eat that person.

However, until Lin Yu showed a friendly smile, Li Xia seemed to have forgotten the terrifying scene, and his impression of this guest soared. If you look closely, he looks really handsome. The so-called noble sons above are too handsome.

Li Xia actually subconsciously raised the idea of ​​wanting to please him, not for work.

"I know about Mr. Ferabi, she only came to Yoshihara in the last two years. I heard that she used to be a highly skilled geisha. She came to Yoshihara only because the original brothel closed down. It only took two years. Time has become the oiran of Jingjiya, and it is very popular with guests."

Lin Yu asked, "How long does it usually take for a geisha like you to become an oiran?"

Li Xia pointed at himself and said in surprise, "Me?"

Although it was her dream to become an oiran, she dared not boast that she would definitely become a oiran.

"Lin Jun is joking, how can someone like me become a courtesan..."

"Don't be so self-abased, that... 360 lines to become the champion, I can see that you are a person who can make things happen. You must have your own plans. How long will it take?"

Lin Yu was a little perfunctory.

The heart is thinking.

As far as I can tell, it is the second year after the Six Fallen Princess of the Windmill changed her new identity, Fern Princess. At present, the Ghost Killing Team has not tracked down this side, and there is no such thing as a slap in the face.

In the same way, it was impossible for Guiwu Tsuji Wumisian to guess that Lin Yu entered his money-making field right under his nose.

Li Xia seemed to be inspired, and said with a firm face: "In five years, I will become an oiran within five years."

Five years is the best period. After you are in your twenties, your career will begin to decline. You will become an oiran within five years, and then earn enough money to redeem yourself. Find a reliable man to leave Yoshihara and live a normal life. , this is her life plan.

"Five years?"

Lin Yu sighed, but he was disappointed the moment he saw Li Xia.

It's too far from the timeline of the original, and there will be a lot of variables.

The entire Yoshihara area seems to be the intelligence network of Fallen Ji. If you want to sneak in without knowing it, you must avoid those annoying ribbons. After the battle with Yiwozuo, Lin Yu has no idea. Now In the end he can beat the string.

In order to collect information, I came to the oiran Li Xia, a key figure that Fallen Ji might be eyeing. Now Lixia, let alone the oiran, is completely a small child. Would Fallen Ji really be interested in such a child?

Lixia looked at Lin Yu nervously.

"Lin Jun?"

"Well, very good, come on, I'm optimistic about you, and you will definitely succeed."

Lin Yu nodded earnestly, which was a conclusion to Lixia's dream.

The little girl's face was a little red, and she showed a little happy look, which made Lin Yu a little more at ease. Anyway, the work of sneaking into Yoshihara was completed. Although Lixia was not useful now, the victory lies in simplicity. What trouble will it cause him.

Lin Yu had just followed Fernji for a while when she was walking around the street, and could vaguely smell the breath of evil spirits, but it was not too strong. Compared with Yiwozuo and other ghosts, Lin Yu was much weaker. What a unique way to hide.

As for this room, I checked it inside and out, and there is no problem.

All in all, I've come here anyway, and I've booked the venue for five days. All the money I've worked hard and saved along the way has been put into it, so I have to take a good rest.

After eating and drinking, Lin Yu got into the quilt. Fortunately, the quilt had two layers. He dragged one layer and left one for Lixia.

"I have to stay for a few more days. If you have access, try to help me inquire about the news of Fern Princess. This is your service to me."

After saying that, Lin Yu fell into a deep sleep.

Li Xia looked at the quilt that was pulled out on purpose, and was a little dazed.

'What a strange guest. ’

…

"Feraki, look this way!"

"Fifty gold, how about a drink with me?"

"Master Warabi is so beautiful, she's the number one oiran in the Yoshihara area."

"That kind of beauty is really unmatched!"

…

The oiran parade took a break for a while, and the lively crowd was surrounded by the gate of the Jingji House and did not want to disperse. All kinds of people called the name of Babiji, just like a vegetable market.
