Chapter 45: Yan Niang Tea House Part Two

  Yan Niang heard the shout of the little second floor, and couldn't help but leave with Huo Yao and others. She hastily lifted a curtain of a room and said to everyone: "Everyone go inside and wait for a while, I'll go deal with Ye Tian and come back."

  Huoyao and others immediately walked into the room, and Yan Niang quickly lowered the curtain of the room. At this time, someone was heard going upstairs, and the "thud" sound came from the wooden stairs. Two Japanese soldiers ran up to the second floor, holding guns to check Huo Yatao's private room. After confirming that it was safe inside, the two Japanese soldiers stood at the door of the room with their backs against the gun.

  Noda slowly walked up the stairs, Zhang Fugui fanning himself closely behind. Yan Niang hurriedly smiled and welcomed him, but Noda ignored her and walked past her side. Zhang Fugui secretly pinched Yan Niang's buttocks and whispered with a lustful face: "How come it took so long? Aren't you afraid that Taigong will demolish your teahouse?"

  Yan Niang blocked Zhang Fugui's salty pig hand, which was eating tofu, and poked his forehead with her finger. "Hehe" laughed, and hurriedly turned around to walk a few steps forward, lifting the curtain of the elegant room for Ye Tian and Zhang Fugui. After the two entered the elegant room, Yan Niang rushed downstairs and shouted: "Little Sanzi, serve some snacks and good tea to the guests in Room 5."

  Yan Niang rushed downstairs and shouted, then quickly put down the door curtain and slipped into Ye Tian's room to personally make tea for Ye Tian and Zhang Fugui.

  Huoyao and others hid behind the door curtain, looking out from the gap in the curtain. Everyone saw the little devil captain Noda up close for the first time. He was about thirty years old, with a rare height of over 1.7 meters. His figure was standard, and his appearance wasn't ugly. But Noda's gloomy face looked like everyone owed him countless money without paying him back.

  Huoyao and others were filled with indignation in their hearts, thinking that Yan Niang's beautiful body would surely not escape the clutches of Ye Tian.

  The usually dim-witted big cow is now furious and his brain has become agile. He only heard the anxious voice of the big cow saying: "Take advantage of the situation to capture that wild field, and coerce him into releasing our comrades. Then take him hostage to the city gate, wait until everyone is safe, and then kill this turtle egg."

  The swallow and others looked at the big cow in surprise, who would have thought that he could say a complete action plan.

  "No way." Huo Yao flatly rejected Da Niu's suggestion. He went on to explain, "This is too rash. This might expose Yan Niang and even put the safety of all revolutionary comrades in the county at risk."

  Just as the big cow was about to argue, everyone heard footsteps coming up the stairs. A young waiter appeared with a teapot in his right hand and tea utensils and snacks in his left hand, walking straight towards their private room. Huoyao hastily waved his hand, and everyone quickly gathered around the tea table inside the private room, pretending to wait for tea while looking nonchalant.

  The young waiter pushed open the door curtain of the room with his head, and after entering, he put down the teapot in his right hand and placed the tea set and snacks on the tea table. Then, smiling, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have waited for a long time."

  "No, no......" Firecracker and others hastily replied. After the shop boy put all the tea sets and snacks on the tea table, Firecracker curiously asked: "Shop boy, why didn't you send the tea to the Japanese first? Aren't you afraid of offending the Japanese?"

  The shopkeeper opened a tea canister and prepared to make tea for Huo Yao and the others. Seeing that these people spoke politely and had an honest appearance, he replied to Huo Yao: "Those people are not afraid of anyone. Their luxurious rooms are specially equipped with hot water and tea leaves at all times. Now Yan Niang is personally making tea for them, and later they will send some snacks over."

  Gunpowder smiled and asked Xiao Er: "Yan Niang is still very powerful, after all. What kind of backing does she have that makes the Japanese and puppet troops not dare to make trouble in her teahouse?"

  "Leaning on the mountain", a child was busy with his hands, and replied to Huoyao: "If you really want to say something, it's the Japanese man Noda who went upstairs to drink tea just now."

  In this county town occupied by the little devils, if there is a Japanese like Noda as a backing, it's natural that no one would dare to cause trouble for this teahouse again. However, many people are puzzled, how could a weak woman like Yan Niang get Noda to protect her? Is it really because of her body? As an underground revolutionary comrade, the organization wouldn't allow such things to happen, right? Huo Yao asked: "Why does Noda want to protect Yan Niang?"

  Xiao Er paused for a moment, his hands stopping their work, and said with some sadness: "Yutaka isn't protecting Yanmei, he's just protecting his own hobby."

  "Why?" asked Huo Yao again.

  Perhaps many people had asked him like this before, or perhaps Xiao Er was originally talkative. He didn't think it was strange either, and while pouring tea for Huo Yao and the others, he chattered on and told the tragic story of Yan Niang's life.

  It turned out that Yan Niang's surname was Lin, and her ancestors had been running a tea house business for generations, with a family tradition of excellent tea art. As for "Lin's Tea House", even in the provincial capital, it was known to everyone.

  Yan's father, nearly sixty years old, finally had a daughter Yan. The Lin family naturally doted on Yan, treating her like a precious gem. Yan was also clever and quick-witted, learning the true art of tea from her father at a young age. By the time she turned fifteen or sixteen, she was as beautiful and captivating as a lotus flower emerging from the water. Every day, high-ranking officials and nobles came to the Lin family's door to propose marriage, as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

  The Lin family's happy life was disrupted by the invasion of the little devils. One day, the little devils attacked the county town, and after a slight resistance from the Nationalist Party, they abandoned the citizens and fled in disarray. The Lin family tea house was unfortunately hit by cannon fire, igniting a raging inferno. Yan Niang was also burned on her face in this great fire, and her beauty was destroyed from then on.

  After the little devils invaded the county town, they committed all sorts of evil deeds, including rape, robbery, murder, and arson. Yan Niang's parents were also brutally killed by the little devils. When Yan Niang was rescued by her relatives and saw that her parents had been killed and she herself had been disfigured, she was overcome with grief and wanted to take her own life by crashing into a wall to join her parents in death. Fortunately, her relatives stopped her just in time and told her about her father's last words: "Make Linjia Teahouse prosperous." Yan Niang then gave up the idea of taking her own life.

  Yan Niang's burn on her face had not healed, so she used a black silk scarf to cover her face. With the help of the old family members and tea house staff, Linjia Tea House reopened.

  Noda Kikokai brought a group of Japanese soldiers to the Lin family teahouse one day. Yan Niang had no choice but to personally serve tea to Noda. Noda enjoyed Yan Niang's tea art, nodding his head in praise: "The tea is rich and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste. Indeed, you are a master of the tea ceremony."

  Noda was again struck by the beauty of the maiden's figure, and his lustful heart was suddenly stirred. He quickly pulled the maiden into his own arms, "Haha" laughing lewdly as he groped her up and down, about to commit a beastly act.
