Chapter Seventy-Two: Do You Believe Me or Not?
Gu Nanqiao looked at Yue Xihe meaninglessly, and was silent for a long time. She clearly wanted to ask how his leg was done, but she really felt that now was not the time to say those words, and if she didn't keep it, it would reveal people's scars and make people disgusted.
When the words came to his lips were swallowed, Gu Nanqiao had no choice but to respond one by one: "...... It was Uncle Zheng who gave me the address, and the members of the old troupe had made a troupe together, called Chunse Manyuan, and now we want to reform Peking Opera and rebuild the troupe...... Uncle Xihe, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it in detail. ”
"The address that your Uncle Zheng inquired about for you....." Yue Xihe repeated in a low voice.
When he first left the old troupe, he had been in intermittent contact with Zheng Yandu for more than a year, and he had heard about the spring garden, and then he was hospitalized because of a serious illness, so he completely cut off contact with Zheng Yandu, and did not tell Zheng Yandu his later address.
But Yue Xihe had remitted money to Zheng Yandu once at the bank at the edge of the village - that was to return the money that Lao Zheng had given him.
Inadvertently exposed the address, and it is normal for Zheng Yandu Shunteng to find a correct one.
"Spring is full of gardens...... Lao Fan actually supported that troupe to the present, which is not easy. Soon, Yue Xihe retracted his thoughts and sighed lightly, "So, Yandu also joined?"
"Uncle Zheng joined, in addition to my master, there are also Uncle Li, Uncle Duan, Uncle Han Qiu, and Uncle Chu Yang, they ......" Speaking of this, Gu Nanqiao deliberately slowed down his speech.
"Uncle Xihe, the big guys of the old troupe back then, this time we are together again, we want to do something big, pick up all the thoughts that were cut off by Xie Tao back then, don't leave any more regrets - this time, it's just you and Uncle Han Wen......."
Then she took a deep breath, and her big clear and agile eyes looked at Yue Xihe fixedly.
"So, I came here on purpose, and I thought...... Please go back to the two of you. ”
Gu Nanqiao said it with emotion and reason, sincerity and sincerity, and the sincerity between his words was more moving than any clever words, so that Su Yiyang's familiar negotiation skills were not used, and he just stood aside quietly.
Her delicate and moving cheeks were slightly flushed with emotion, and the long and supple hair that hung down her chest was lifted by the wind, and a few strands of hair covered the side of her face, but her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining in the sun, which looked extraordinarily bright and bright.
Su Yiyang said in his heart that Gu Nanqiao's serious appearance was really not ordinary to make him excited.
When Gu Nanqiao's words fell, Yue Xihe's eyes seemed to have complex emotions in a flash.
But soon, it reverted to flatness.
Then he hooked the corners of his lips and didn't say much, just raised his chin in the direction of the compound: "It's not something I can do alone, my brother is in the courtyard, you can talk to him." ”
When they walked to the courtyard, Su Yiyang and Gu Nanqiao met their eyes, and their eyes were a little unclear.
This compound looks very shabby, the red lacquer gate has mottled old marks, and the Spring Festival couplets are pasted on both sides of the gate, which should have been with a little joy, but it has already been broken into strips under the age, and it is impossible to see which year it was pasted. The edge of the door frame was clinging to dark green moss, and the layer of wood next to the ground was a little rotten, revealing a dilapidated dark gray, which was completely out of touch with adjectives like "sophisticated" no matter how you looked at it.
It's hard to imagine that this is the current residence of the Yue brothers, who pay attention to pomp and circumstance.
The courtyard door is half open, and you can hear the crackling sound of mahjong, as well as the playful and ridiculous scolding of several people on the table.
"Hey, Ermao, why did you light Lao Zhuang's cannon again?"
The one who spoke was a man in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, and he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, "Do you know that Lao Zhuang's private money was touched by his mother-in-law yesterday, and he will come to benefit the society today?"
The one called Ermao is a young man, the youngest one at the poker table, like he is in his early twenties, and some pursue the fashion unique to small-town youth, with half-length and not short hair, bangs covering half of his face, the yellow dyed hair is somewhat faded, and a black section grows at the root of the hair.
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Li, hurry up and change positions after this round, what a fucking place, feng shui is not good. Ermao is small, and his heart is uncertain, so he is obviously a little impetuous, "It's all about letting you and Brother Zhuang win today, damn, you two are really good...... I said, there is no reason to only enter and not leave, you are not allowed to buy a pack of cigarettes for me and Uncle Yue, and give back. ”
"Hey, look at your appearance, can't afford to lose?" The one called Brother Zhuang knocked a cigarette, bit it in his mouth and spit out a smoke ring unhurriedly, "Look at Lao Yue, you lose this number, and you don't have as much?"
As he spoke, he raised his finger and smiled and waved out.
In the gap between the code card settlement, Yue Hanwen was sitting upright on the chair, not even bothering to lift his eyes.
He wore a shabby black thin cotton jacket, casually open to his arms, and inside was an old dark gray shirt, the decadent days of the past few years of exile made him show a little old, but the sharp and heroic facial features were still as aura as ever. When the delicacy of the skin is smoothed out by time, the indelible things brought by the bone phase become clearer.
Like now—
He is clearly not in the Peking Opera Troupe, directing the country, but just living in Songjia Village, a broken place full of yellow sand, leaning on the withered yellow grass to set up a small table at will, and half-angry and half-scolded with a few unpopular card players. But this didn't affect the arrogance of Yue Hanwen in the slightest, and the posture of half-leaning on the back of the chair can be described as quite chic.
Just by glancing at him, Gu Nanqiao knew that this trip was not in vain.
What is revealed in a person's words and deeds is the most deceiving, if Yue Hanwen really degenerates into the appearance of a village woman, he will not have the bearing he has now.
But since he is still in style, why should he stay in such a place for many years and waste his time in vain?
And looking at the current posture of the Yue brothers, it has nothing to do with the Peking Opera performance at all, and they are completely heartbroken.
I want to persuade them to go back...... It's hard.
Before Gu Nanqiao could think more, Yue Hanwen's voice pulled back her thoughts.
"Hey, Lao Zhuang, pinch out your cigarette. He lazily lifted his eyelids, didn't save face for his card friend at all, and when he spoke, he still looked like a master.
"Get out of here and smoke my birds. ”
Lao Zhuang smiled and pinched his cigarette, and said in his heart that he was getting carried away with winning, and only then did he forget Yue Hanwen's taboo - who doesn't know that he doesn't care about anything on weekdays, but the baby parrot is like a baby daughter-in-law, and he can't be scolded, let alone smoke second-hand smoke, even if he smells the smell of fireworks in the world, he has to feel distressed for a while.
But thinking about it, Lao Zhuang smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but complain: "The bird with you is more precious than a human, hey, Lao Yue, don't you smoke yourself, and you're not afraid of smoking your bird?"
"Lao Tzu smokes or not, is it in the way of you?" Unlike the other three on the card table, Yue Hanwen opened his mouth to smell of Beijing films, laughing and scolding like an old man hidden in the mouth of the alley, "We are two yellow and noble, we can smell my cloud smoke, I can't smell your dirt rolls, and since my grade is low, I will implicate my birds." ”
These players have been playing together for a long time, and they are well aware that Yue Hanwen's card skills are not good, but the cards are quite good. He admits defeat and admits compensation, no matter how much money he loses, he is in a posture of returning after his daughter is gone, just like a casual master who gives away to the remaining three, except for some end shelves, there is nothing else wrong.
Who would have trouble with money? So Lao Zhuang was too lazy to provoke this master to be unhappy, so he laughed and ended the topic.
After another round, Lao Zhuang touched himself again, happily counting the money, and Brother Li raised his eyes.
"Hey, Lao Zhuang, do you have a guest?"
As early as when Gu Nanqiao and Su Yiyang came in, Yue Hanwen saw the two of them.
At first, he was visibly surprised, but for a moment, he restrained his emotions and turned a blind eye. Yue Hanwen has a deep impression of the Gu family's girl, after all, this is Xiao Fangran's daughter, where are the genes, and the talent is innate. Then Fan Lingchu personally trained him, and after a few years of training, Gu Nanqiao's basic skills are quite solid, and this child's mental attitude is still correct, and the future is limitless.
It was rare to get into the eyes of the law, so Yue Hanwen looked at her and was willing to mention a few words.
However, the impression is limited to that.
After listening to Brother Li's words, Ermao, who was extremely discouraged, opened his mouth eagerly as if he had seen a savior: "Really, these two people have been waiting for a long time, Uncle Yue, don't you say hello?"
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ermao wants to seize the opportunity and quickly get off the extremely embarrassing table.
Who knew that Yue Hanwen let out a casual chuckle, and soon completely cut off his little bit of caution.
"Unfamiliar, can you say hello?"
This sentence seems to be explained to card friends, but Yue Hanwen hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes stopped on Gu Nanqiao's face, clearly meaning something, and there was something in his words.
"Forget about them, let's continue, Ermao, if you can't afford to lose, Uncle Yue will give you a round and run a ball." ”
"Uncle Yue, what are you talking about, who can't afford to lose, continue to ......"
Of course, Gu Nanqiao knew that Yue Hanwen was silently expressing his attitude, forcing them to retreat in the face of difficulties.
But how can this happen?
Seeing that the mahjong on the small table was rubbing more happily, Gu Nanqiao was bored, and he had no thoughts in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became. In order to calm her mood, she had to wander to the gate of the courtyard and look at the parrot that landed on the branch in a daze.
The parrot was born quite beautifully, its fur was soft and shiny, and its whole body was extremely clean white, with yellow crown feathers on the top of its head, and its translucent eyes were as clean as amber, and when the feathers were shaken, the crown of the head was fan-like and erect like a blooming sunflower.
"Su Yiyang, come and see," Gu Nanqiao suddenly called, and when she saw Su Yiyang turning her head sideways and handing over an inquiring look, she asked softly, "What kind of bird is this, it's weird and beautiful." ”
"Sunflower parrot," Su Yiyang replied nonchalantly, "This bird is not cheap, no wonder your Uncle Yue's baby is like this." ”
"You know a lot. Gu Nanqiao muttered.
Su Yiyang raised his eyebrows and said it as he should: "Otherwise, when you ask me, can you still give you Baidu?"
Gu Nanqiao glanced at Su Yiyang, and he had nothing to say for a long time.
"Su Yiyang ......" After a long time, she was about to squeeze out a sentence, "You say, can we persuade Uncle Yue to go back?"
Regarding Gu Nanqiao's rare vulnerability, Su Yiyang slightly hooked the corners of her lips, didn't say much, and carried out those meaningless comforts, but took her hand and held it in the palm of her hand with ten fingers interlocked.
Unlike the brief touch of holding his wrist last time, this time Gu Nanqiao did not panic, and he didn't even have too much astonishment.
In the case of absolute sobriety, she finally clearly felt that her attitude towards Su Yiyang was indeed worthy of a word of dependence. For example, now, she didn't feel any discomfort, but she just felt that Su Yiyang's hands were very warm and her smile was very reassuring.
It's like there's light in the eyes.
"Do you believe me?"
When Su Yiyang asked like this, Gu Nanqiao raised his head and just met the pair of bright smiling eyes.
Then, she nodded almost firmly.
