When Mo Wenshan heard this, he looked up at the second floor. I saw a person born with a leopard's head and eyes, a bearded face, about forty years old, and a brave and strong appearance.

This person is none other than the one who is in charge.

Just now I was resting in the upstairs room, and suddenly I heard someone downstairs singing, and under listening attentively, it was the singing voice of the puppet show in Qingzhou, my hometown. This unique singing tone, which changes according to the accent in the place, is different from other operas, so it is immediately distinguishable.

On weekdays, this person is silent and maverick, because he was ostracized by many wicked people in the army, so he slowly developed the habit of not interacting with others.

In fact, this person is a warm-hearted person, who treats his friends with sincerity and never abandons his comrades-in-arms, so he can't help but walk out of the door to talk when he hears the local voice.

Seeing this dignified Guan Qiao, Mo Wenshan's heart finally let go, before he came, the brothers of Jiangnan Yanyulou had already explained the information of the target one by one, so at a glance, he knew that it was indeed the main master.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Guan Xiao: "Exactly, this Qingzhou puppet show is the ability to eat and dress here, so if you have nothing to do, you can practice more, and the so-called song is not separated." It seems that it was a noise that disturbed the official. ”

The Guan shook his hand, strode down the stairs, nodded and called the shopkeeper, ordered a few hot dishes, asked for good wine, and sat down to eat and drink with Mo Wenshan.

Although it was time for the kitchen to seal the fire and extinguish the stove at this time, Guan Xiao was dressed as a general, and he was extremely brave and fierce. Where did the shopkeeper dare to say a word, and rushed back to the back kitchen to tell the chef to hurry up.

These hot dishes ordered in a short time were served, Guan Xiao was originally from Qingzhou, and he went to the frontier to defend the border when he was a teenager, and he only came back after many years. Now that I have left my hometown and come to this Linyuanzhou, I miss my hometown very deeply.

Because of the official position, I have to be stationed here, and I don't know when I will return to my hometown that is haunted by my dreams, so everything about Qingzhou is very emotional. Especially has a soft spot for Qingzhou puppet shows, and when I heard the familiar singing of this hometown, I couldn't help but talk to Mowenshan.

When the two met for the first time, they couldn't talk in depth, so they naturally said what they sang just now. Mo Wenshan grew up in Qingzhou and loves puppet shows very much, so it is the first thing to say.

Guan Wei originally thought that Mo Wenshan was just a foreigner who knew some miscellaneous singing, but he didn't expect that this person was very good at puppet singing, and every sentence was an expert. Recalling what he just said, it seems that what this person said about relying on this for food and clothing is not a lie, but an artist who lives on this.

But this Mo Wenshan was born with an elegant face and a strong bookish atmosphere, where he looked like a puppet show artist who walked the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

After all, he has been at the border for many years, and he is responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance and disturbance, so his personality is very alert and meticulous, and he will detect the slightest suspiciousness.

I only heard Guan Xiao say: "I think this brother was born with a talent, and his aura is extraordinary, and he should be a poetry and book heirloom." Qingzhou is far away from here, I don't know why I am wandering on this river and lake?"

Just from these few words, it can be seen that this person looks rough and heroic, but in fact, he is very meticulous. It is a person who is thick on the outside and thin on the inside. But before he came, Mr. Zhuge had already explained how to respond, and he was already confident.

I only heard Mo Wenshan say: "It's hard to say, I was originally from Puning County, Qingzhou, although my family is not rich, but I am also wealthy." When I was a child, I loved Qingzhou puppet shows, and my father applied for it many times, but there was nothing more to do, and I still went my own way. ”

"I didn't expect that my family would fall into the middle of the road, and my family would encounter disasters one after another, and finally become destitute. The books I read below did not win any fame, but it was the Qingzhou puppet show that I had mastered since I was a child and became the ability to eat. Listening to the official speak, he also has a Qingzhou accent, is he the same township as Zaixia?"

Mo Wenshan's words are true and false, he was born in Puning County since he was a child, he has loved Qingzhou puppet shows since he was a child, and he has been praised by his elders many times.

It's just that the words in the middle of the family are lies, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish between true and false, even if it is a person who is extremely good at observing words and colors, he can't see or hear any flaws.

But a person like Guan Xiao, with the innate alertness and sensitivity of a professional soldier, would never dispel his concerns so easily. immediately talked to Mo Wenshan about the deeper things of the puppet show, after all, singing can rely on listening more to learn to sing, and the rest may not be understood.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wenshan mentioned everything about Qingzhou puppet show.

Generally speaking, the puppets of this kind of puppet show use camphor wood carved heads, and the mechanism controls the expression and body movements. The movements are agile, accurate and rich, and constitute the main body of the puppet.

Most of these puppets require more than 30 silk threads to manipulate, and the least can be less than 16. With superb skills, you can make difficult actions such as opening a fan, changing clothes, dancing swords, fighting, and jumping over the window, which is amazing.

In addition, the stage of the puppet show is set off with black velvet as the backdrop, and there is a set of gold and silver leaf around it, which can be called splendid. Both the stage and the puppets are well-made, and they are the best in the puppet show.

Although the production is so complicated and the craftsmanship is so cumbersome, the artists of the Qingzhou puppet show can put all the objects in a box behind them when they go out. This box is also very particular about the production, and once it is unfolded, it is a stage for acting.

And the puppeteer only needs to cover his body with a piece of black velvet that he carries with him, and he can control these puppets and perform the emperor's generals, talented and beautiful women's operas one by one on the stage.

If the Mowen Pass hangs over the river, it is endless, and the doorway in the puppet show is as detailed as a few treasures. The tube was fascinated. I haven't heard of a lot of things at all.,It seems that it's really interlaced like a mountain.,Although I'm also a fan of puppetry.,But it's still a big deal compared to people doing this.。

I couldn't help but believe it in my heart, and felt that most of the bookish people in front of me were really a puppet showman. Seeing the change in Guan Xiao's face, Mo Wenshan struck while the iron was hot to completely dispel the other party's concerns.

I only heard that Mo Wenshan said: "I don't know that the official has such an opinion on this puppet show, and today I have met a bosom friend." If you have the opportunity to play a solo show for the official in the future, what you are best at is the miscellaneous drama of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, talk about the big heroes who stand on top of the sky, and make a name for these generals who protect their families and defend the country. ”

Guan Xiao couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this, he had been at the border for many years, how many bloody battles, and how many times he was born and died. The puppeteer in front of him is a fellow villager in Qingzhou, and the Puning County he said is only a hundred miles away from his hometown.

It is precisely because of the existence of this nostalgia that Guan Xiao began to be affectionate when he spoke.

"What kind of official master, under the surname of the management of the name, was originally a military attache on the border, just returned to this Linyuanzhou not long ago, as the so-called leaves fall back to the roots, in the future will definitely return to Qingzhou. We are all Qingzhou people, we are all villagers, don't be so restrained, just call me the eldest brother in the future, I don't know the surname of the elder brother?"

Mo Wenshan hurriedly reported his home, but the three words of Mo Wenshan on the rivers and lakes are quite prestigious, although Guan Xiao is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but he is also afraid of hearing about it, but he just reported his real surname, and the name was a fake name casually.

The two of them talked about it again, and they were all in charge of Brother Mo, and they immediately became a lot more affectionate, Mo Wenshan knew Guan Xiao's character, although he was so affectionate now, but if he didn't show his hand, he was afraid that he would be more or less suspicious of himself.

When I came, I was very well prepared, the puppet's opera clothes, the black velvet cloth I carried, and the wooden box stage of the puppet show were all made properly. Although it only took a few hours, Mo Wenshan was the first master of the Mo family's puppet production, and this kind of work was really useless to him.

I only heard that Mo Wenshan smiled and said to Guan Xiao: "I am fortunate to meet Brother Guan here today, just like the so-called meeting a confidant in another country, a rare luck." Both of us have left our hometowns, and we are both fallen people at the end of the world. ”

"Today, I will perform for Brother Guan to relieve homesickness. ”
