Chapter 375 Jun is very relaxed
Chapter 375: You are very relaxed there
"Master, this is the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse."
Niu Daji took Liu Zheng for a long time before they finally arrived at their destination.
As the first of the ten bathhouses in Bathhouse Street and also the bathhouse with the longest history in Bathhouse Street, Hyakkixing Bathhouse is not located in the central area of Bathhouse Street, but is built separately on a large piece of land on the east side of Bathhouse Street.
However, even so, there was still an endless stream of sedan chairs and rickshaws coming and going, and some even kept their lights on in broad daylight.
“It’s very impressive.”
Liu Zheng said as he looked at the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse not far away.
This is a stacked building, with the bottom floor being the largest and the area getting smaller as you go up.
When we reached the top, there was only a lookout tower the size of a toilet left.
The building material looks like it is made of pure wood. The protruding triangular structures are painted with gold, the main walls are painted with red, and the eaves are covered with green tiles.
The paint surfaces have peeled and have stains due to their age, but this makes the combination of gold, red and green not only not look gaudy, but instead have a sense of nobility and elegance.
I have to say that the person who designed this building was a master of aesthetics.
Liu Zheng admired the Hyakkiryo Bathhouse for a few more times and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen similar buildings in many anime.
"The doctor will be here soon. You guys just wait nearby and be ready to pick us up at any time."
he warned.
"okay."
Niu Daji responded quickly.
"By the way, if you help me fight against Grandma Tang, your family won't be retaliated against, right?"
Liu Zheng remembered and asked.
"Don't worry, sir. I have severed ties with my family. As long as my family stops helping me, even Grandma Tang can't do anything to my family."
Niu Daji said with emotion.
Nowadays, there are very few bosses who still think about their subordinates and their families.
"Is this possible? Who is that important person that your ancestor is hanging out with?"
he asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know, sir. It seems that since a certain generation of our ancestors, we are not allowed to mention the name of that adult, and we don't know anything about him anymore."
“But every few years our family gets a notification and someone comes to check on us.”
Niu Daji scratched his head and said.
“Check the situation.”
Liu Zheng had a strange expression on his face.
If this were real, this would sound pretty normal.
But in a metropolitan city, it sounds like a farmer counting his cattle.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Niu Daji asked doubtfully.
"Nothing. Okay, I'm going."
Liu Zheng shook his head and walked towards the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse.
As he walked along, he attracted countless gazes.
After all, the guests either took sedan chairs or cars, and he was the only one who walked.
Those sticky gazes came from behind the curtain of the sedan chair, licking Liu Zheng's senses like a predator's tongue, making him feel very uncomfortable.
His intuition told him that he could cut off these perceptions by using his murderous tentacles.
But this would make too much noise and would be detrimental to Liu Zheng's subsequent actions.
So, he can only bear it now.
"Look, look. I'll deal with you after I finish my work."
Liu Zheng thought viciously.
He came to the gate of Baiguixing Bathhouse, but did not go in. Instead, he went straight to the back of the bathhouse.
Behind the bathhouse was a red wall. He searched carefully before finding a small door the size of a palm in the corner.
Liu Zheng squatted down and knocked on the door.
"Who? What?"
A muffled voice came from inside.
"Hello, I am the nephew of Old Man Qing. He asked me to come to him."
Liu Zheng replied.
Qing Lao Tou is a type of card in Fuso Mahjong, which refers to a hand that only has "old head cards" such as 19000, 1900, 1900 Tong, and 1900 Suo.
Every employee in the Hyakkiyo Bathhouse has a code name related to Fuso Mahjong, which is equivalent to their name in the bathhouse.
When they leave or die, the code name will be taken back and passed on to the next person.
"Old Man Qing? Oh, he told me about this. But how do you prove that you are Old Man Qing's nephew?"
The person inside asked in a drawn-out voice.
"My uncle said this can be proven."
Liu Zheng took out a few banknotes and waved them in front of the doorway.
"Well, yes, you are indeed old man Qing's nephew."
The person inside said immediately.
Then, the small door was opened, and a bird's claw stretched out from inside, grabbed the top of the door opening and lifted it up. The door opening immediately expanded, from a mouse hole to a small door as tall as a person.
"Okay, come in."
Birdclaw waved at him.
"okay."
Liu Zheng bent over, hunched his back, and struggled to squeeze into the door.
After entering the door, there is a long and narrow passage with many rooms separated by shoji (paper-covered sliding wooden doors) on both sides of the passage.
"Don't look blindly, or you'll lose your eyeballs."
A voice interrupted his peeking.
"I'm sorry, I just arrived and don't know the rules."
Liu Zheng retracted his gaze, bowed his head to apologize, and then handed over the banknotes.
"Well, your attitude is not bad. I'll ask your uncle to teach you the rules later. Our bathhouse is big and has many rules. If you break the taboo, not only you, but your uncle will also be implicated."
The short man with bird claws and feet took the banknote, looked at the denomination, and put it into his pocket with satisfaction.
"Excuse me, senior, is this the work uniform for our bathhouse?"
Liu Zheng looked at his naked upper body and bare thighs and couldn't help asking.
"How is that possible? The guests who come to our bathhouse are all people of status. How could they dress like this to receive guests?"
The bird claw man said without hesitation.
"Then what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's just my personal hobby. There won't be any guests here anyway, so it doesn't matter."
The bird claw man said nonchalantly.
"Okay, alright. By the way, I haven't asked what your code name is yet?"
"Oh, my name is Hun Lao Tou. Remember, next time you encounter any problem in the bathhouse, tell me my name."
The bird claw man said.
Mixed old man refers to a hand that contains only old man cards (19000, 1900, 1900 bamboo, 1900 rope) and character cards.
"And then everything will be resolved?"
"Then you'll die a happier death."
The old man chuckled and said.
"hehe."
Liu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have any expectations of this guy based on the way he's dressed.
"Come on, I'll take you to find your uncle."
The old man jumped up, grabbed the door frame, and pulled the small door back to the size of a palm.
“Can you leave your post while you’re working?”
"If it were anyone else, I would definitely say no. But since you gave me the money, then I will definitely agree. Otherwise, how can I make extra money in the future?"
The old man said carelessly.
"Uh"
Liu Zheng felt that the situation at the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse was different from what he had imagined.
Judging from what happened to Jingzi, he thought that the Hyakkiryo Bathhouse should be a place with strict rules and that anyone who violated the rules would be punished.
But judging from the perspective of this old man, the work discipline here seems to be quite lax?
"Follow me closely, don't wander around, don't look around. If anything goes wrong, don't expect me to protect you."
After the old man finished giving his instructions, he walked forward on his own.
"Okay." Liu Zheng responded and followed closely behind him.
Although he did not peek on purpose, his super high perception made him involuntarily see the rooms on both sides.
The paper on the shoji was not thick, and he could even see the shadowy figures inside through the paper.
The figures were of different shapes and swayed constantly, making it hard to tell whether they were real or just illusions distorted by the light.
Suddenly, Liu Zheng saw a thin shadow in the room in front of him on the right suddenly swell up and turn into a bloated and huge shadow that wrapped up another thin shadow.
"Hahahahaha!"
The sound of lips opening and closing penetrated the shoji and floated into his ears, followed by the sound of bones being chewed.
"Shh!"
The shoji was pulled open, and a waitress in a coarse yukata walked out with a wooden basin and her head lowered.
The wooden basin was filled with clean water, in which floated a bloody kimono and a hair flower stained with filth.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Liu Zhengcai was able to discern the white background among the filth.
"Please give way."
The waitress whispered.
"Oh, sorry."
He made way.
At this moment, a sound like stomach and intestines rumbling came from the room.
He listened carefully and it sounded like the sound of air flowing in a cave.
Wisps of air brushed past Liu Zheng's ears, guiding him towards the depths of the cave.
"I told you to follow me closely, why are you walking around aimlessly?"
The tingling sensation woke him up from the trance.
Liu Zheng looked down and saw a bird claw tightly grasping his wrist. The tip of the claw was deeply embedded in the flesh and blood was slowly flowing out.
"Shh!"
The maid closed the shoji screen, and the strange sound disappeared immediately.
"You are hurt."
She said while looking at Liu Zheng's wrist.
"Ah, just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
He said.
Not to mention just a scratch, even if you tear off his entire arm, it will grow back after a while.
"No, we need to deal with it quickly."
The maid shook her head, then bent down and bit his wrist.
"?"
Liu Zheng looked at her black bun, and a question mark slowly appeared in his head.
"Old man, senior?"
He looked at the bird-claw man.
"Don't worry about her."
The old man shook his head.
"Ok."
Since the other party said so, he just let it go.
Seeing that Liu Zheng did not object, the maid became even more reckless and simply stuck out her tongue to clean his wound.
The warm and moist touch continued to come, and Liu Zheng felt that his blood was concentrating in two directions.
As the maid continued to suck Liu Zheng's blood, her pale lips became more and more rosy.
Instead of feeling any pain or weakness, Liu Zheng became more energetic and even excited. He even wanted to peel off her skin right there like peeling an egg.
"Okay, that's enough. I still have to take him to see Old Man Qing."
The old man suddenly spoke.
Hearing his words, the maid immediately opened her mouth and looked at Liu Zheng reluctantly.
If he was injured there, he would have sucked more blood.
"Let's go."
The old man pulled Liu Zheng and asked him to continue moving forward.
After taking two steps, he tilted his head slightly and saw the maid pick up the bloody kimono and stick out her tongue.
"I told you to stop looking, but you refused to listen. If I hadn't stopped you just now, you would have been eaten clean by now."
The old man said.
"Thank you for your care, senior. It's just a small token of my respect."
Liu Zheng took out a few more banknotes and stuffed them into his bird claws.
"You are quite a good person. But if you are so rich, why do you come to work in the bathhouse?"
The old man took the money and asked curiously.
"Senior, you misunderstood. I am not rich, I just like to spend money."
Liu Zheng shook his head.
"Really? I don't think so. Never mind. Whether you have money or not is none of my business. I'm just showing you the way."
The old man shook his head and continued walking forward.
Several more shoji doors were opened along the way. This time he learned his lesson and closed his eyes and blocked his ears, so he had a safe journey.
"Old Man Qing, I brought your nephew here."
When they arrived in front of a shoji screen, the old man shouted through the paper door.
"I know. Why are you shouting?"
Following the sound coming from inside, the door was opened and a thin old woman walked out.
She was wearing a dress that looked like a shrine maiden's attire, and her body was covered with ribbons, beads, ears of rice and other things.
A strong fragrance emanated from her body, filling the entire corridor with the scent.
But after sniffing a few more times, the fragrance turned into an indescribable smell, not entirely a fragrance, nor entirely a stench.
It smells kind of sickening, but not so subtle as to be unpleasant.
If I have to make an analogy, it's like running outside in sandals all day in the summer, rubbing your finger between your big toe and index toe, and then smelling it.
"Old Man Qing, I've brought the person here, but where are the things?"
The old man said with a smile.
"I will give you what I promised you. Wait outside and follow me in."
Old Man Qing said indifferently, then raised his chin towards Liu Zheng.
"Oh, okay, uncle."
He paused and shouted.
Actually, he originally wanted to change his name to call her aunt, but since the old man had called her uncle before, he continued to call her uncle based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more.
Sure enough, neither Old Man Qing nor Old Man Hun found any meaning in addressing Liu Zheng.
"Shh!"
The shoji door was closed and the old man was locked outside.
"Where's the token?"
As soon as he entered, Old Man Qing stretched out his dry hand like a bird's claw towards Liu Zheng.
"Give."
He took out the half incense stick given to him by Yuan Baoer.
Old Man Qing grabbed the bottom of the incense stick and pulled it upwards. The incense stick immediately ignited without fire and turned into wisps of green smoke, which she inhaled into her nose.
"Hmm, it's been a long time since I smelled such authentic musk."
After inhaling the incense, Old Man Qing's expression became much friendlier.
"Go get the contents of that pot and give it to the old man."
She pointed to the earthen stove in the middle of the room and said.
There was a clay pot on the earthen stove, and the pot was half filled with black, sticky stuff like sesame paste, which was bubbling in the blazing fire.
"Ok."
Liu Zheng walked to the pot, but didn't see any spatula, spoon or anything like that.
"You can't get it up with your hands or anything else."
Old Man Qing said lightly.
"it is good."
Liu Zheng glanced at her and without hesitation plunged his hands into the boiling fluid.
