Demon Slayer: The Swordsman Coming Out of Sagiri Mountain
Chapter 51
Yoshihara tour Guo.
Night fell, and the depths of winter were bleak.
The red lanterns of the izakaya reflected the goose feather snowflakes falling between the sky and the earth. The temperature was bitingly cold, and many people fled this place with their hands hugging their arms.
Occasionally, a woman can be seen opening the curtains in the wooden houses lined up in the market, and the orange lights are flickering inside, which looks very warm.
Disorganized footprints are left on the ground after snowfall, and pedestrians are in a hurry, which seems to indicate that even if the world is frozen, there will be no shortage of guests here.
"welcome."
Under the billboard of Renya, a girl in geisha costume kept bending down to salute, watching well-dressed guests enter the house.
There was constant wind and snow outside, and the cold wind kept blowing the girl's face. Fortunately, there was no sign of frostbite due to frosting.
She is very beautiful, her skin is like the first snow that fell in early winter, her fingers are green as if the snow has not yet melted, and the dry branches are full of vitality, but it is a pity that she is still young and her face is still immature. In this way, there is such a beauty embryo standing outside, which also brings a lot of guests to this top three brothel in You Guo.
"Xiao Lixia, it seems that it won't be long before you stop being a kanban girl and become a geisha. You might be able to become the oiran of the current house by then."
"Before that, can I have a drink with uncle first? Uncle is afraid that he will never have this opportunity again. After all, the reason why uncle came to Shi Renwu is for Xiao Lixia."
Li Xia had a smile on her face, but she stepped back nervously, skillfully dodging the hand stretched towards her.
"Sorry, Uncle, I'm not old enough to drink."
She has already graduated from all geisha training courses, and she performed very well. Before she officially changed her career as a geisha, the proprietress asked her to be a kanban lady for a while, attracting customers into the store. To protect yourself.
At this time, there was a burst of noisy sounds from the street, which was as lively as a festival celebration.
"Look, isn't that the Oiran Warahime of Kyogoku House?"
"It's so beautiful, Master Fern Ji, can you take a look at me?"
Li Xia looked in that direction.
I saw an extremely beautiful woman stepping on high wooden clogs and walking slowly in the snow. Her black hair was tied into a bun with all kinds of luxurious decorations on it. There were people in front of her and behind her. Holding a flower umbrella, surrounded by lively crowds, she disappeared at the end of the night.
When Wara Himeji passed Shirenya, I don't know if it was Koisha's illusion, the corner of her beautiful eyes painted with rouge under the umbrella seemed to glance at her.
Li Xia stared blankly at this beautiful oiran lord passing by, with envy in his eyes.
"If you become an oiran, you don't have to do these things anymore? That's great..."
When she came back to her senses, the guests who had been standing in twos and threes at the door of Ren's house all disappeared, and Fern Girl was like a wave, and when it receded, it would take away the wandering souls on Yoshihara Street.
Even some of the guests who had been staying in Ren's house at that time ran out one after another, following in the footsteps of Ji Ji.
In the snow field illuminated by the red lanterns in front of me, only the chaotic footsteps left by the pedestrians retreated, it was very quiet.
"It seems that there will be no guests tonight..."
Li Xia thought so, and let out a hot breath.
Suddenly, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. His clothes were shabby, his hair was disheveled, and he was tall. He looked like a wandering ronin.
When that person walked straight towards Shi Renya, Li Xia was a little nervous, she was very disgusted with Ronin.
Ronin in this era are people who do nothing, and there are some guys who call themselves warriors. In fact, they don't do anything other than fights on weekdays, and their tempers are quite violent. These guys are worse than those old perverts who come to the store. Difficult to deal with.
"That...excuse me."
"Prepare me some wine and food, I'm very hungry now."
young people?
Li Xia was a little surprised, the disheveled long hair made it hard to see the real face of this person, but he clearly has the figure of an adult, why is his voice so immature?like a teenager.
"Oh, okay, no problem, welcome."
Li Xia reacted quickly, and greeted this person into the room with a polite smile.
Shi Renwu's service was first-class. As soon as he entered the door, a doorman would brush off the snowflakes on this man's body, but his figure was too tall and he had to stand on tiptoe.
"Guest, you are a new face, who do you need to accompany you?"
When Li Xia heard the voice behind her, she didn't pay much attention. She could almost imagine in her mind that the process was the same.
Under the warm greeting of the proprietress, a group of geisha with heavy makeup stood in front of that person, and after choosing one, they could have a separate room for dinner and drinks. In that room, what should happen and what should not happen will happen. occur.
"Is there anyone named Lixia?"
"Ok?"
Li Xia thought she had heard it wrong, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.
Then came the boss lady's voice.
"Li Xia?"
"Yes, Lixia."
"That...guest, Lixia is not an official geisha yet, and she is not old enough to serve drinks."
The proprietress looked troubled.
Even if Li Xia really becomes a geisha, it's impossible for anyone who wants to order it to order it. She has already decided that she must buy it at a good price.
"I only want her for five days. Is the money enough?"
Ronin's tone was firm, and then he took out a bag from his body. After spreading it out, it was stuffed full of gold, which was dazzling, and there were a total of 200 taels.
You know, on the streets of Yoshiwara, 50 taels of gold is enough to invite the oiran to spend the same night with the oiran. During the Taisho period, supplies were scarce, and the 200 taels of gold meant that the proprietress could live in another half-occupancy house.
Li Xia outside the door was also stunned by this scene, she had never seen so much money.
However, she soon showed a very scared expression. From her angle, she could just see that the gold on the side was stained with a little blood, and even the bundle showed a dim color.
However, the proprietress and the group of geisha looked at each other with a look of greed in their eyes.
"Oh, look at what you said, a guest with such a high status like you, just coming to our shop is already a big face, Li Xia! Why are you still standing at the door? Why don't you dress up as a guest and enter the house?"
Li Xia lowered her head and managed to force a smile.
She knew that this day would come sooner or later, and she would not resist.
This is Yoshihara, and the women here have no past and future, and some only have real existence, the present self.
