264 Fanwai (1) Revisiting the old place
When the stranger who came from afar put down his bags, the drama on the stage was in the final โกโก.
"These days, I've been having a dream, a dream...... I have a pair of wings, I can fly, I can get to all the places I want to go. โ
The people in the center of the stage were smiling, but they used lines with tones to make the audience's hearts burst into tears.
"I want to go to my past, where I have failed again and again, and I have succeeded again and again, and time has taken away too many things from me, and left me too much. โ
As a drama with only five acts, this final scene is a summary of all the previous stories...... Or a twist.
For example, in the first act, the stage shows the monstrous flood and the pain of the loss of a young girl's loved ones, that is, this person now, but she holds a red umbrella, shields the crying girl from the wind and rain, wipes away her tears, and uses no gentle movements.
The woman's words of consolation to the girl are also very plain, very casual, and very ......
"You will be strong to go on, because you will experience more pain later, 'loss' is a compulsory lesson in life, this lesson of yours, has just begun"
โฆโฆ The next few scenes are like this, the death of a loved one, the failure of a career, the car accident, in those heart-wrenching scenes, this person seems to have come specifically to spoil the scenery, she uses a brisk tone to break the atmosphere of sadness and depression, and smiles and says to the down-and-out woman: "Your pain is far from over"
Now, at the end, like a one-man time travel, she came to the end, and there was a portrait of the girl in her arms in the second act in her room, and she lived in the house where the woman who had failed in her career in the second act, and a wheelchair appeared behind her, and she fell on it.
At this time, people suddenly realized that the person who is the protagonist is actually old, and she has just told those poor people that they must be strong because there will be more pain in the future, in fact, those people are her own past.
In an instant, the annoying becomes moving.
Randomly seated in the auditorium, the hat-worn traveler gently stroked the handle of the chair with his fingers.
"In order to fight the pain, I put an armor on my heart, and this armor is the time I did not miss......"
There are not many people in the audience, after all, today is not the weekend, but the people on the stage watched seriously, and the tears of the people in the audience were sincere.
"I'm not a fool......"
"I'm not a fool......" accompanied by the lines of the actors on stage, and the people sitting in the audience also gently read them together.
"The fool tortures himself with pain, indulges in it, and takes pride in it. The person who performed on stage, although heavy makeup and wigs concealed the characteristics of her appearance, but those who knew her well could still recognize who she was, she was brilliant and bleak, exaggerated and desperate, and a few years later people called her acting career "a legendary life", of course, she didn't care about these anymore.
Because she is a pity.
"I'm not that smart, I'm not that stupid......" The man in the seat wore a large, black brimmed hat and a linen-colored scarf that obscured the lower half of her face.
"They're all me, but not who I am now, because they have less than me, and I haven't missed a moment. โ
A lonely confession, Gu Xi made everyone present cry, and the woman she played who did not appear in her name loved to smile more than cry when she was gray-haired.
A play ended, and in the applause, the actors returned to the curtain and left hand in hand, and the audience walked out of the theater in twos and threes.
Only the man was still sitting, looking up at the theater, which had apparently been renovated for a short time, and the whole theater seemed more youthful and energetic than it had been decades ago, and now the owner of the theater had livened up the walls with some hanging paintings and paint.
Gu Xi, who got out of the play, didn't bother to remove her makeup, and was still discussing with her partners how they played in the scene just now, until ten minutes later, she casually glanced at her mobile phone......
"Why didn't you say hello in advance? I thought you had stepped on a somersault cloud and came to me as soon as you jumped. โ
With a muttering mouth, Gu Xi quickly stepped forward and gave the guy a hug.
The black hat was taken off, the scarf was torn off, and the beautiful eyes on the thin young face smiled in a sweet arc.
"I'm a surprise for you. โ
"The fright is almost the same, you have a lot of fans abroad now, how dare you run around alone?"
Gu Xi pinched his waist with one hand, and nodded the other party's nose with the other hand.
"I'm here for a vacation, so it's best to have fun with you. โ
Picking up his luggage and holding Gu Xi's shoulder, Chi Chi, who had just finished filming a movie, said with a smile: "I brought you a souvenir." โ
"Souvenirs? Who is rare, you have to pay for room and board when you live with me, do you know, do you have to do housework? I am a poor man now, and I can't afford to support you. โ
"I know, I know, I'll raise you, okay? Why do I think you're fat?"
"Yes?!I know you can't drink too much of that creamy soup. โ
Sunlight shone in through the colorful glass windows around the theater, and the not very warm wind blew through the doorway on the face of the young woman who had come from afar.
The tree outside, has been here for many years.
Longer than this theater, it happens to witness the same soul walking into this place in different ways.
"Hello, old friend. โ
It seems that I really want to convey this sentence quietly through the wind.
โฆโฆ
Gu Xi still lives in the attic above the theater, the area of the attic is not small, more than 100 square meters of space, a small half is used to stack more expensive props, and the other half is Gu Xi's living space.
The carpet that filled the space had a messy bed, a large wardrobe, a shoe rack, and a bunch of boxes that didn't know what they contained...... There was also an electric stove that aggrievedly occupied a small corner of the room.
The room is really ...... It's very cherished.
"The toilet and bathroom are on the ground floor...... I don't usually fire, but alone, so it's good to be simple. โ
Having said that, Gu Xi still went to buy a new bed for Chi Chi with the face that didn't wipe anything after removing makeup, and came back, if it wasn't for Chi Chi's insistence, she would still want to get two cabinets for Chi Chi to come back.
What about the poor bastards? The problem of always wanting to buy more when buying things has not changed at all.
After Chi Chi was sure that Gu Xi would not buy additional furniture, she went to the food supermarket leisurely, and when she returned to the attic with the ingredients, she found that although Gu Xi did not buy a wardrobe or anything like that, she still lost a bunch of daily necessities, and there were enough toilet paper alone.
โโฆโฆ Are you going to take refuge?"
"With such a big living person as you, of course you have to prepare a little bit of things. Gu Xi put three pairs of plush slippers into the shoe cabinet.
Chi Chi suddenly blessed his soul, those boxes piled up together should be things that Gu Xi didn't use after buying them.
"Tomato beef noodles, do you want to eat an omelette?"
Gu Xi's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Yes!"
#่ฎบไธไธชๅจ่บๅบๆฏๆไนๅจๅฝๅคๆ่ชๅทฑๅ ป่็?#
With such a question, Chi Chi tied up his long hair and tied an apron and began to cook for Gu Xi, forgetting to buy a cutting board, Chi Chi found a box and put it under the plastic plate containing the beef.
Chi Chi was cooking, and Gu Xi squatted next to her and watched beautifully.
"Tomorrow we have to go to the next city to perform, I said, now we are also a well-known theater company, not only can we maintain operations, but also make a profit, this time we go out to perform, and the students from the school who are studying acting come to see ......."
Gu Xi smiled and poked Chi Chi's thin waist: "Come on, I'm not very powerful." โ
Chi Chi, who didn't have itchy meat, picked up the black pepper jar and gestured to her.
Gu Xi immediately hugged Chi Chi's waist and put the whole person on her back: "Hey, hey, you can't fight." โ
"I'm going to put coriander in the noodles!"
"Don't!"
Gu Xi let go of Chi Chi and was busy looking at the pot, only to remember that Chi Chi knew that she wouldn't buy coriander at all if she didn't eat it.
It's a pity that the reaction was slow, and Chi Chi's hand stained with tomato juice was already pasted on her face.
In the end, two people spread out a tablecloth next to the bed, one held a bowl of noodles, and ate dinner with the gentle evening breeze.
"Hmm, cool...... It's torture to eat too much food cooked by foreigners. โ
The hot noodles were accompanied by thick soup, and Gu Xi sighed, his face intoxicated.
Chi Chi had been on the plane for a full seventeen hours today, and although Gu Xi wanted to pull her to talk, he still mercifully let her rest early.
At five o'clock the next morning, Gu Xi got up lightly, and someone downstairs carried the props they needed for the performance, and Gu Xi also signaled them to be lighter.
A rare sound sleep, calculating the time, when Chi Chi woke up, Gu Xi was probably about to reach his destination.
At this point, the theater was empty.
Chi Chi walked down the stairs slowly in his pajamas, patted the door of the props room, and walked around the dressing room.
Finally, she sat on the stage, facing the theater with the doors and windows closed.
Who would have thought that there is such a wonderful thing in this world, an old woman named Chi Xiulan designed a theater, wrote a script, and wanted to rehearse a drama by herself but finally gave up.
It's like a dream, and it's finally given the most pleasant ending.
โฆโฆ
When Gu Xi came back, it was already another day, and she dragged her legs to the attic in exhaustion, she took a step back and almost rolled down the stairs.
Where is this?
Is this my home?
In front of the window, a low table and rattan cushions were placed, the position of the bed was changed, and a particularly dreamy bed tent was added on it, and the whole room was changed, with a kitchen with a range hood and a separate cloakroom.
Chi Chi came out of the kitchen with the stewed yam pork rib soup and tilted his head to look at Gu Xi.
"Yam pork rib soup, shrimp broccoli, peanut stewed rice, wash your hands. โ
"How did my family become like this?"
"How can the person I raise live in such an uncomfortable place. โ
"I think I'm pretty comfortable. โ
"Oh...... Then when I'm gone, you can change it back, and I'll pay for it. When he said this, Chi Chi, who was wearing an apron, was really leaking.
Gu Xi, who claimed to be a poor egg, was cowardly, and obediently washed his hands and ate.
That night, Gu Xi, who was obviously extremely tired, didn't want to sleep for a long time, and the performances on those two days were very popular, whether it was a Chinese performance for domestic tourists, or a local language performance choreographed by her, which won a lot of applause.
The feeling of being recognized and praised made Gu Xi feel familiar and unfamiliar.
There was a strange heat that seemed to flow through her chest, making her want to say something to her best friend.
"Koikechi, did you sleep?"
"Nope. โ
Although he is on vacation now, Chi Chi is still used to watching a little performance information before going to bed.
"You watched me perform the day before yesterday, how was it?"
"It was great. โ
used to play a different role, but now she plays a natural and vivid role, as if she is the person in the play.
"You know, when I was in that scene, I always had the feeling that the character had opened a lock on my body and let my soul out of my body, and then the soul of the character that belonged to me would come into my body and act for me. โ
Chi Chi put down the information in his hand and sat up to look at Gu Xi on the other bed.
"I see that you also feel this way when you are acting, you are her, all kinds of hardships can't defeat you, and all the pain is turned into wealth. โ
Chi Chi said sincerely.
Gu Xi, who has always been cheeky, was speechless, she turned around and was silent for a while before saying:
"You know, after this scene, I suddenly understood something. โ
"I ...... I actually like to perform. โ
Wealth and fame, obviously gained and lost, this liking actually made Gu Xi at a loss, and it was difficult to express his feelings in his heart.
If it weren't for the silence of this night, if it wasn't for Chi Chi's silence enough, maybe she wouldn't even be ashamed to say the word like.
"Oh. Chi Chi answered, leaned on the head of the bed, and continued to look at his information.
"Oh what do you mean?"
"Oh, yes, I see. โ
"You know it's over?"
"Don't you just like acting, I like it too, what's so great. โ
"Stinky girl, you deliberately slap me, right?" Gu Xi was not shy anymore, jumped off the bed, and pounced on Chi Chi to scratch her.
The two of them quarreled for a while, and she suddenly laughed, and the more she laughed, the louder she became......
Then I cried.
"The fool tortures himself with pain, indulges in it, and takes pride in it. โ
"I'm not that smart, I'm not that stupid. 166 Reading Network
