Chapter 42 Guillotine
Yu Qingfeng fell into dilemma and doubt.
Since there is such a troupe performing the decapitation trick in the plot, and it is the only troupe in the Yong Dynasty that can perform the decapitation trick, and it happens to come to Jeju to perform, it must be useful information, and the protagonist group needs to go see it.
But the male protagonist Pei Wuyan said he wouldn't watch it. What's going on?
In the previous case, Yu Qingfeng had already made up her mind to follow Pei Wuyan's arrangements in everything. He was the male protagonist with a halo, and only by obeying his orders could he obtain all the clues.
In other words, Pei Wuyan's choice is a shortcut to success. If she interferes and changes the established direction and route, she will take the wrong path at best, go in the wrong direction at worst, and at worst, lose her life.
That's all, I don't want to go that much, just to be on the safe side, since Pei Wuyan said he won't go see it, he won't go.
After dinner, Yu Qingfeng obediently returned to her guest room, followed Pei Wuyan's instructions, rested early, and set off early tomorrow morning.
Just as I was getting ready to take a rest, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss Yu, have you rested?"
The sound of ringing.
Yu Qingfeng opened the door, "Not yet, is there something wrong, Mr. Lin?"
"I'm quite interested in the decapitation trick, why not..."
Are you interested in the decapitation trick? It would be better to say that you are interested in her, Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng was very shrewd. Lin Ming's lonely expression, his evasive eyes, and his compliments to her, she already understood.
However, Yu Qingfeng could not accept the move and had to keep a distance from Lin Ming.
Firstly, it’s because her target is Pei Wuyan, a master of tea appreciation. The smell of tea in her tea and the words she talks about tea are all seen by Pei Wuyan. If she uses the vinegar smell strategy, Pei Wuyan will
Maybe Bian will go with the flow.
If Pei Wuyan goes with the flow, then Yu Qingfeng will have to bite the bullet and act like Lin Ming.
Imagine, don't.
Secondly, it's because Yu Qingfeng herself has complained about this old routine in countless film and television dramas in the past, and she would have vomited even watching the scene of the infatuated male lead who silently dedicated herself to it, let alone experienced it personally.
If the second male protagonist likes the female protagonist, he must be a sweet man who has a crush on and cares for her silently. If the second female protagonist likes the male protagonist, she must be a bitch who is arrogant, domineering, maliciously instigating, and uses all kinds of scheming methods to deal with the female protagonist.
Fortunately, there is no female lead in this drama, and Yu Qingfeng has no natural enemies, so she is very comfortable.
Come on, okay, Yu Qingfeng admits that Pei Wuyan is prettier than Lin Ming. Everyone has a love for beauty. She still has to accept Pei Wuyan, and she can't be the heroine if she is half-hearted.
"It's better to listen to Mr. Pei and rest early. We have to travel all day tomorrow. It's just a decapitation trick, nothing interesting to see."
After Yu Qingfeng finished speaking, she planned to close the door and thank the guests.
Lin Ming looked ugly and smiled awkwardly, but still refused to give up, "We secretly went out without letting Mr. Pei know about it. Besides, in the afternoon, I see that you really want to go and see it. Why now..."
"To be honest, I have already seen through all the magic tricks. I already know the truth about smashing a cup on the ground, standing on a stick with a stick, burning ashes to spell words, and blowing out a lamp to restore sight. I don't have much interest anymore."
Lin Ming was obviously very unfamiliar with these four-character words that Yu Qingfeng said, "What kind of stick can stand on its own, and can a blown-out lamp regain its sight?"
Yu Qingfeng's regret and talkativeness aroused Lin Ming's interest, and now she couldn't close the door and thank the guests.
Just as he was talking, the door to the guest room next door opened and Pei Wuyan walked slowly over.
"Master Lin, do you want to see a magic trick?"
Lin Ming nodded generously, "Yes, I would like to invite Miss Yu to go with me."
Pei Wuyan looked at Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head, "I didn't agree, really."
Pei Wuyan was surprised, "What do you mean? Yu Qingfeng, I have not restricted your freedom."
"That won't work. I have to listen to Mr. Pei. If Mr. Pei doesn't let me see the magic show, I can't go." Yu Qingfeng expressed her loyalty seriously.
"Okay, since you listened to me, now I order you to go watch the magic show with Mr. Lin." Pei Wuyan made a gesture of invitation.
"What about you?" Yu Qingfeng felt a little uncomfortable.
"I'm tired and want to rest early." After Pei Wuyan said that, he turned around and went back to his room.
Yu Qingfeng was stunned. Are you trying to push her to be the second male lead? What kind of method is this? Is Pei Wuyan not attracted to her? If not, what happened to all the previous behaviors?
Wait a minute, this male protagonist likes to go against the grain, maybe he is duplicity but actually he is jealous.
"Let's go, Miss Yu." Lin Ming saw that Pei Wuyan had closed the door and Yu Qingfeng was hesitant, so he reminded her loudly and made a gesture of invitation.
Yu Qingfeng took two steps and suddenly remembered something. She ran to Lian Shurong's door, knocked on the door hard and shouted:
"Lord Lian, let's go see the decapitation trick."
Lian Shurong's voice of agreement came from the room.
Yu Qingfeng turned to peek at Lin Ming.
As expected, Lin Ming was very disappointed with Yu Qingfeng's initiative to bring a light bulb.
The three of them arrived at the market. Night had fallen, but there were still two hours before the curfew. At this time, they could go to Yunhui Tower just in time to catch the troupe performing.
Yunhuilou is the largest restaurant in Jeju. There is a stage in front of the door. At this time, guests are already gathering. Those who arrived late can only stand and watch from a distance.
Things that can be solved with money are nothing. Lin Ming directly used his money power to let the three belated guests sit in the first row of seats.
The three of them sat around a square table with tea and dried fruits on the table.
Huge props have been placed on the stage.
The prop is divided into two parts. The lower part is a horizontal rectangular thin base, about two feet long, and the upper vertical rectangular body is like an upright coffin. What is different from the coffin is that there is a hole at the top of the coffin.
It's an old trick. This magic trick of transforming a person into a living person has been commonplace for a long time, but this kind of trick must have been a new thing in ancient times.
Lin Ming and Lian Shurong were as excited as other viewers, talking and speculating about how they would be "decapitated" later.
Yu Qingfeng was thinking about how to reveal the magic to these two rare and strange colleagues later.
Soon, the performers came on stage, as expected, the same old routine, one male and one female.
The man dressed exaggeratedly and called himself a mage, while the woman he called the female elf he had tamed.
Some in the audience laughed, and some actually believed it.
"Mage?" The woman at the next table snorted disdainfully, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Yu Qingfeng turned to look at this woman. She was dressed as a heroine, carrying a sword with her, and looked heroic.
It's just that he came to join in the fun and watch the magic, but he was alone at the table with no companions, and he was in a bad mood, worried, and depressed.
The mage talked nonsense with the female goblin again, and gestured to let the female goblin enter the standing coffin with the door open on the front.
The coffin is one head shorter than the female goblin, and the hole at the top is for the female goblin's neck. The female goblin's body stands in the coffin, and her head is exposed outside the coffin.
Everyone was quiet, holding their breath and concentrating, their eyes fixed.
The mage closed the coffin door and locked it properly. Everyone could only see the head of the female goblin above the coffin.
The mage took out a black cube that matched the black coffin. It was a wooden box a little larger than a human head. Like the coffin, there was a small door on the front of the wooden box that could be closed or opened. There was a hole at the bottom for the neck.
of.
It is conceivable that the mage put this cube on the head of the female goblin.
Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but spoil the story, "When the mage closes the door of the black box later, he will insert the sword on the side into the coffin. He will also remove the black box, place it next to the coffin below, and open the lid."
"After opening it, inside..." Lin Ming couldn't believe it.
"It still has the head of a female fairy inside, and it can even open its mouth to talk."
The heroine at the table next to her heard what Yu Qingfeng said and cast a surprised look.
