Chapter 25: The Bitter Taste

Tan Shaoxuan walked shirtless on this gravel road, and Huang Bozheng, who was following behind, ran up, he pulled the ill-fitting and wide clothes, and said to Tan Shaoxuan with a slight cough.

"Oh no, ahem, our backpacks are still in the theater room, why is this old thing like this, ahem, that Zhang Ana too, one of them sings red face, cough cough, and the other sings white face, playing us around, cough cough. ”

Tan Shaoxuan sighed, feeling that he had never been so humiliated, he looked at the people passing by, the villagers saw that they both avoided it, in the teahouse, some people were telling his deeds of making a big fuss about Miao Nian, some people were talking about why Huang Bo's hair was gone, and some people were laughing at his down-and-out appearance, at this time a little boy looked at Tan Shaoxuan on the street, walked to him, and handed him a steamed bun.

"Brother, this is for you to eat. ”

Looking at the child's innocent eyes, Tan Shaoxuan was about to take over his steamed buns, when a woman suddenly rushed out of the roadside shop, obviously this was the child's mother, she hugged the child and reprimanded the child.

"Don't talk to the bad guys, or you'll be like him in the future, Broom Star. ”

Then the woman spanked the child's buttocks several times, and the child began to cry. Seeing the steamed buns thrown on the ground, Tan Shaoxuan picked them up half-squatting and put them in his mouth, suddenly, he felt that the steamed buns were so bitter, he handed them to Huang Bo, Huang Bo patted the soil, and ate them with relish, he knew that it was not the steamed buns that were bitter, but his own heart, Huang Bo, who had eaten the steamed buns on the side, saw that he had never been so lost, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and gradually they disappeared on the side of the road.

Frustrated, Tan Shaoxuan and Huang Bo walked on the muddy gravel road, they were unwilling to let this journey end like this, but there was no way, now it seems that the promise to grandpa has come to naught, they supported each other and walked towards the dock.

At this time, the sky flashed and thundered, and suddenly it poured down, and the slender rain silk pierced on the gravel road, and the two came to the pier to find that the river was not far from the flood water level, and the original many boats in the river were now long gone, and it seemed that they couldn't go, Tan Shaoxuan scolded.

"Don't let you stay, don't let you go, you're going to play with us to death!"

At this time, Huang Bo, who couldn't hold on, finally fainted and fell to the ground, Tan Shaoxuan saw Huang Bo fall to the ground, panicked, and hurriedly went up to pick up Huang Bo and shouted.

"Apo, Apo, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Bo coughed and made a faint sound.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, ahem, boss, I'm holding you back. ”

Tan Shaoxuan picked up Huang Bo on his back and walked to the depths of the ancient town.

Tan Shaoxuan, who was drenched all over his body, shouted heartbreakingly on the street,

"Everyone, please help my brother, please. ”

At this time, Tan Shaoxuan, who was carrying Huang Bo bare-chested, suddenly knelt on the ground, hoping that someone could help them, Lu Ran continued to walk with an umbrella, no one paid attention to them, no one cared about them, Tan Shaoxuan looked helplessly into the distance, the rain became heavier and heavier, from a thin long rain to a downpour, Shaoxuan rubbed his eyes with his hands, and found that Huang Bo was already in a coma, he cried, he failed to take care of his brother, he felt deeply remorseful.

After a long time, an old man faintly walked in front of Tan Shaoxuan, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a white-bearded elder with a cane and an umbrella, and he was accompanied by the "Three Kings", although the elder's rag shoes were completely wet and the road was very slippery, but his powerful feet still made him quickly come to Tan Shaoxuan, Tan Shaoxuan knelt and looked at the elder, slowly put down Huang Bo, and made a trembling sound to the elder.

"Elder, help us, please, my brother Apo! ”

The old man covered Huang Bo's body with an umbrella and touched Tan Shaoxuan's forehead with his long gray hand.

"He burned badly, Yang Feng, Yang Tai, Yang Yong, you help this little brother back and take good care of him, and when the tide falls, he will be sent to the health center across the river by ferry. ”

The "Three Kings" hurriedly helped Huang Bo up and took him to the elder's house.

"Kid, what's wrong? Didn't we send you to the theater yesterday? Why are you still out in the rain today?"

The elder helped Tan Shaoxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said.

"Elder, it's hard to put it into words, the people in the stage are eager to swallow our two brothers alive, how can we continue to stay there? ”

The elder smiled at this time, took off his clothes, and draped them on the shirtless Tan Shaoxuan.

"Since you want to watch Miao Opera, then go back to the theater! Because in this place, except for the one who can dance, this Miao Opera is lost, and he is the only one who can dance Miao Opera, let the Dramatist dance a Miao Opera for you." ”

When Tan Shaoxuan heard this, he was full of gratitude to this elder, he wiped the rain in front of his eyes, and said to the elder.

"Uncle, I really don't know what to do now, even if I go back, he won't see me. ”

The elder handed the umbrella to Tan Shaoxuan, and then said to him.

"Use your sincerity to influence the last joker in Xuanyuan Ancient Town. ”

When Tan Shaoxuan heard this, he returned the umbrella to the elder and ran towards the theater in the rain, at this time the elder nodded to Tan Shaoxuan.

At this time, Zhang Ana took advantage of her grandfather's sleep, quietly held an umbrella, and braved the rain to come out to find Tan Shaoxuan and Huang Bo, he was afraid that they would encounter any accidents, Zhang Ana was shouting, calling, walking all over the corner of the village, and saw the swollen wharf and bridge, and finally returned to the theater in frustration, when passing through the gate, she saw Tan Shaoxuan kneeling in front of the theater, Zhang Ana hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Get up, brother, don't kneel!

Tan Shaoxuan shook his head at Zhang Ana.

"I will use my sincerity to let your grandfather know how eager I am for him to dance a Miao opera for me. ”

At this time, Zhang Ana seemed to be moved, and also knelt in front of the door with Tan Shaoxuan, hoping that Grandpa Xiyu could forgive Tan Shaoxuan.

Two days.

The door gradually opened, and the old man walked out slowly, helping Tan Shaoxuan and Zhang Ana, who were kneeling in front of the theater.

"Come in first, ahem, don't catch a cold, I have something to say to you, ahem. ”

The joker pointed at Tan Shaoxuan with his finger.

After Zhang Ana entered his room, the joker took Tan Shaoxuan to the lobby and said to him.

"Ahem, child, ahem, why are you so obsessed with Miao opera? ”

Tan Shaoxuan helped the old man sit down and said.

"My grandfather is very sick, this is his last wish, and I must fulfill it for him. ”

At this time, the joker who coughed worse picked up the hookah and said to Tan Shaoxuan.

"Ahem, your grandfather? ahem, ahem. ”

At this time, Tan Shaoxuan picked up a match from the table on the side, lit a hookah for the old man, and said

Road.

"My grandfather said that his biggest wish in this life is to be able to watch a Miao opera once, he said he

There was a regret in childhood. ”

After speaking, Tan Shaoxuan took out a jade pendant from his trouser pocket and handed it to the joker, who looked at it

Seeing this jade pendant, he felt very familiar, pondered for a moment, and his expression became excited.
