Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

"Landlady, there's no water!" someone shouted downstairs.

"Landlord, go and take a look!" Meng Yin smiled and pushed Tornado who was reading the comics.

"Isn't it normal for the city to have no water? Why are you making such a fuss?" Tornado was dissatisfied, just as he was seeing something exciting.

However, having said that, he still walked downstairs with the comic book.

"You have a building that you can rent out, so why do you still run a barber shop?" a little boy squatted in the corner and asked in confusion. There aren't many customers a day, so it's not profitable!

"Of course it's because of interest!" Meng Yin walked up to him, "Why are you squatting here? Go eat at the table!"

"Interest?" the little boy murmured. What was that?

"Yes, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Meng Yin took the little boy's hand, led him to sit at the dining table, and pushed the breakfast on the table in front of him.

"When I have money, I will open a karaoke hall and sing and dance every day!" The little boy said while eating a bun.

"good idea!"

A Chinese Ghost Story

As we walked along, the desolate scene seemed to have swallowed up all the life in the world.

In this desolate place, a deathly silence pervades, as if even the wind refuses to linger. Occasionally, a few skeletons appear, lying abruptly on this desolate land, their pale white color particularly glaring in the sunlight...

In this world, the emperor is incompetent and indulges in pleasure all day long, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people of the world. His foolish behavior is heartbreaking.

Those corrupt officials are like greedy beasts, running rampant in dark corners. They seize wealth by trickery and plunder the people, forcing them into desperate situations and making them live in dire straits. The people's livelihood is shocking.

It is said that evil spirits will appear in troubled times. This world seems to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and stories of gods and ghosts are circulating everywhere.

At night, the wind whistles past, as if wronged souls are crying; in the dim forest, a faint green light flickers, as if the eyes of evil spirits are spying on the world.

……

"Herod—" A crisp horse neigh sounded, and the rider pulled the reins suddenly. The horse seemed to feel the master's emotions, raised its front hooves high, made two loud neighs, and slowly stopped.

A scholar on the roadside was walking with his head down when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. He was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Lei Yin removed the handkerchief that shielded her face from the wind and sand, took a deep breath, and her fatigue was instantly apparent. She loudly asked the scholar, "Scholar, is this Nanhua County ahead?"

The scholar took a closer look, and after seeing her face clearly, his worries immediately dissipated. He smiled and said, "Miss, if you follow this road and ride for two quarters of an hour, you should be in Nanhua County!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yin clasped her fists and said thank you: "Thank you!" Then, she quickly put on her face scarf, squeezed her legs against the horse's belly, and the horse galloped again, rushing towards the destination of this trip.

It turns out that Lei Yin's father is a famous bounty hunter. With his superb martial arts and keen insight, he has made a name for himself in the world.

However, as time went by, he earned enough money and decided to give up his wandering life, get married, have children, and live a stable life.

Then comes ten months of pregnancy, and the baby finally comes out.

Father Lei took the swaddling clothes handed to him by the midwife. Before he could be happy about the tightly wrapped little girl in his arms for long, he heard a terrified cry from the room, "Oh no, my wife is bleeding heavily..."

At that moment, the whole world seemed to collapse.

Old Man Lei hugged tightly his little girl who had just come into this world and lost her mother. His heart was filled with endless grief and despair. He really wanted to cry but had no tears!

As time goes by, the world becomes increasingly turbulent, with various dangers and crises emerging one after another.

Looking at the difficult living situation, Mr. Lei had no choice but to grit his teeth and return to his old job with his daughter!

Lei Yin grew up in such an environment. In the pursuit of criminals, she gradually grew up and, with her intelligence and hard work, she developed amazing skills.

Later, fate ruthlessly took away Lei's father's life. From then on, Lei Yin acted alone and became a true bounty hunter. In just two years, she relied on her own strength to gradually make a name for herself in the underworld.

She was extremely beautiful, with an exquisite face that looked like it was carved from jade, making people forget the world at first sight. She was also extremely cruel and ruthless, never showing mercy. It was for these reasons that she was nicknamed "Jade-faced Rakshasa".

This time, when Lei Yin came to Guobei County, he also received a piece of news that a valuable "big fish" had quietly appeared in Guobei County.

……

Nanhua County is a quiet and dilapidated county town that looks like a silent place.

The streets are littered with all sorts of disorganized debris, including discarded wooden boxes, worn-out baskets, and broken branches and leaves left behind from who knows when, piled up layer upon layer. The former prosperity is no longer visible, only the present desolation and desolation.

The sunlight shines through the mottled leaves onto the street, forming irregular spots of light, but it still cannot dispel the dead silence and desolation that permeates the air.

In such dead silence, the crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. The sound was like a flash of lightning that broke the silence, instantly breaking the long-lasting tranquility.

Lei Yin looked around, her eyes not revealing much emotion. After all, she had long been accustomed to this desolate and lonely environment.

Her ears were extremely sensitive, and at this moment, she vaguely heard a slight noise coming from the distance.

The sound was faint at first, like a whisper in the wind, but as the distance got closer, it gradually became clearer.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tavern not far away. The tavern sign was swaying gently in the breeze, and the words on it were a little blurred.

Several burly men were drinking and eating meat in the store without restraint. Their faces were flushed and they reeked of alcohol.

Seeing someone coming, they all turned around. Their faces looked like ferocious monsters, and their eyes revealed undisguised malice, as if they were a group of demons about to choose someone to devour.

found it!

Lei Yin slowly dismounted and tied the reins to a stout wooden stake outside the tavern. She casually held her sword in her hand and walked toward the tavern.

"Waiter!" A clear female voice sounded in the tavern. The voice was as pleasant as a mountain spring, which made several big men who were drinking stop immediately. They looked at each other and then laughed maliciously at the same time.

A waiter dressed in coarse cloth hurried out from the kitchen, his face full of smiles. He nodded and said, "Young lady, please come in! What do you need?"

"Help me fill this with wine, the best!" Lei Yin said, throwing an exquisite wine bag to him.

She wasn't a heavy drinker, so she brought some wine with her for various reasons. During this long journey, wine could not only relieve fatigue and refresh the mind, but it could also play an unexpected role at critical moments.

So wherever I go, I always carry a bag of good wine with me.
