Chapter 737: Performing Arts in the Rivers and Lakes (2)
In the fifth year of Kangxi, Bing'er was fourteen years old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe wind and rain washed him out and matured early, but fortunately, he was talented and intelligent, loved to think about everything, and took on a lot of burdens for Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi's appetite has always been bad, which is caused by a full meal, a hungry meal, a cold meal, and a hot meal, and it is getting worse and worse. The uncle's son, Shi Qing, is a person who does work when he has a job and sleeps when he doesn't work, and he is quite dependent. Uncle Shi had to impose the burden of the juggling class on Bing'er's shoulders. At Uncle Shi's insistence, the juggling class had an official name called "Renyi Class", named after Bing'er's tuba, and Bing'er's opposition was invalid.
Uncle Shi has been secretly observing Bing'er, and found that this child is as benevolent as his name, and anyone who thinks of others in advance and endures hardships and stands hard work has a good brain. He is knowledgeable and courteous, and has great respect for himself. He likes Bing'er more and more, more than his own children. That time, because Bing'er couldn't erase what she said, she asked the audience for performance fees, and she kicked Bing'er, and she is still guilty until now. He was in a particularly bad mood that day, and he was very irritable when he was about to stop.
The boss beats the actors, which is commonplace in other theater troupes. But Shi Tong is usually really good to Bing'er and Kumei.
Shi Dan and Shi Qing also like Bing'er very much, and they don't mind their father's preference for Bing'er. It's that Shi Qing is a little dissatisfied with Bing'er: he really wants to learn Bing'er's skills, but Bing'er refuses to teach.
Shi Qing finally couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction with Bing'er to her father: "Isn't it better for everyone to have this ability to share hardships and hardships?" No one dares to bully us anymore. Shi Tong was also a little puzzled, and decided to talk to Bing'er, not because he had to learn, at least he knew why, otherwise he would be disgusted in the future, and it would be bad to fight and make enemies.
Bing'er didn't want to talk about this, but the matter was actually very serious, so she found everyone together and said face-to-face: "It's a good thing that Brother Shi Qing wants to learn Bing'er's skills, which shows that Brother Shi Qing is a very motivated person." But today Bing'er told everyone that this ability is not passed down by Bing'er's family, but by a master outside the world. It is absolutely not allowed to pass it on to anyone other than Bing'er, because it is a heavenly machine, and Bing'er will not only lose her own life if she leaks the heavenly machine, but also cause the master to be punished by heaven. ”
Shi Qing understood, Bing'er kept everyone tight-lipped about everything, but this matter. Bing'er said, "Think about it, can a man command an animal? He's not just a spell, so don't be embarrassed. ”
"I'm sorry Bing'er, Shi Qing understood, don't mention such a thing again. Don't be angry, it's Shi Qing who is not sensible. ”
"It's also to blame that I didn't explain it earlier. Bing'er can let everyone do anything, but this one is not negotiable at all. ”
Shi Tong immediately understood that Bing'er's master was a master of Taoism, and Bing'er herself was not simple. I am with the right person, and it is too great to have Bing'er to protect my father and son. If Bing'er is in a hurry, he will be dumbfounded as soon as he flicks his sleeves and leaves.
Leaving the boundary of Jinan, all the way to the south, walking while performing. Bing'er knew that Sister Kumei had been sold to the troupe to learn Kunqu Opera for more than three years, so the "Renyi Class" had an additional repertoire: Kunqu Opera. On the way, they also took in an eight-year-old boy who was abandoned by the acrobatic team. He was sick with a high fever, and the boss was afraid that it would be smallpox and spread it to everyone, so when he was confused and unconscious, he forced the others to leave quietly. That is, he abandoned him, and let him lie in the field and wait for death, but fortunately, Bing'er's benevolence and righteousness class saw him when they passed by. The kind-hearted Bing'er couldn't bear to leave the dying boy alone in the field like his ruthless class leader, but let everyone go away, and he took care of the little sick child alone. Bing'er usually heard her mother talk about the symptoms of smallpox, what typhoid fever was like, and what it was like to have a fever because of inflammation, and concluded that the little boy was first beaten by the class master, and then by heavy rain, the wounds on his body were inflamed, so the high fever did not go away. It's not smallpox, it's not typhoid, it's a severe cold and inflammation, but it's also very serious. Bing'er bought anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing herbs for the bonuses she had received in the past few days, boiled it for him to drink, and took care of him to drink water and urinate, and finally got this man named Ming Ming out of danger, Ming Ming saw a very handsome big brother taking care of himself in a trance, he was abandoned by his parents, and he was very eager to be caressed by adults, but he was inhumanly abused by the boss in the acrobatic class, and was finally abandoned. When he was lying in the wilderness, maybe God took pity on him, he was not discovered by wild dogs and other wild beasts, but he was lucky to be discovered by this amiable big brother. The desire to survive makes Ming Ming ecstatic, and he mutters begging Bing'er not to throw him away, even if he picks himself up as a puppy and keeps it by his side. In the future, the puppy will grow into a big dog to protect the owner.
Bing'er was moved to tears by his pitiful words: "Little brother, don't worry, my brother won't throw you." My brother doesn't want you to be a dog, he wants you to be an upright man. Hurry up and get better, can you go south and north with your brother's benevolence class? ”
Ming Ming nodded vigorously: "Brother, I will take a big top, stack Arhats, shake empty bamboos, and do several jobs." I don't want someone else to feed me, I just want my brother to take me with me. ”
"Good, good! You can rest assured. You have so many abilities, my brother has to take you even more. ”
Mingming's illness was cured, the wounds on his body were healed, and the pain in his soul was healed. became Bing'er's "follower", Bing'er found that he was obviously very smart and studious, but he was timid, like a little mouse, and he trembled when anyone wanted to speak loudly. But as soon as I got on the "stage" performance, it was like a different person, and I was full of energy, and I was not afraid to go up with such a high chair. It's not too much to describe him as "light as a swallow", it's really strange.
Uncle Shi explained that he was obviously scared of his boss and was greatly stimulated. If this is the case, the only way to cure Mingming's mental wounds is to take good care of him.
Bing'er began to teach everyone to read, not only was she deceived and bullied if she didn't know words, but she was also very depressed, she didn't understand many truths, and she lacked judgment on right and wrong. Everyone was so happy, who wouldn't want to read and write? This gentleman also does not charge tuition. Even Uncle Shi followed suit, he said that he could learn a few is a few, and he knew one a day, which was more than three hundred a year. The first thing Bing'er's students love to learn is Mingming, and the fastest acceptance ability is also Mingming. followed by Shi Dan, followed by Kumei, and Shi Qing was the most reluctant to learn. Obviously I think of learning as fun, and I write on the ground with branches without paper. But Shi Qing regarded studying as a burden, and he was full of energy when he performed on the stage, and writing a few self was like being cramped. Bing'er never forced him, so angry that Uncle Shi beat him and punished him for kneeling in a place where no one was.
On the way to Suzhou, the benevolence class encountered two big troubles. The first is that the "killer" hired by the duck bustard Qiu's mother chased and intercepted Bing'er and Kumei, and the second is that Mingming's former boss found that Mingming was still alive during the performance of the Renyi class, and wanted to denounce the Renyi class for the crime of "human abduction" and achieve the purpose of blackmailing money, and sued the Renyi class in the lobby of Huai'an Mansion. Fortunately, the master of the trial here did not listen to the words of the former class master, but let Ming Ming himself say what was going on, because the eight-year-old child already had a judgment of good and evil. Ming Ming cried from beginning to end to tell how he was abandoned by the class owner in a serious illness and was taken in by the benevolent class, and took care of him to recover from a serious illness. The former head of the class not only did not get any money, but was also fined 20 taels of silver that "should have been given Ming Ming to cure his illness". As for the "killer" of the dart game, when he came to Bing'er and Kumei to tie them back with a rope, he actually recognized their senior brother Shi Tong. was scolded by Shi Tonghao. What is for the tiger, what is not clear about right and wrong, only recognize the silver and do not recognize people's reason. Bing'er patiently told them what had happened, and the killer was very ashamed and decided to go home and farm and not do such a conscientious thing.
The class has grown to a scale of six actors, and the repertoire is of high variety and quality, which is well received by local audiences. For example, they have Shi Tong's hard qigong performance, Bing'er's light gong performance, Shi Dan's red tassel gun performance, Shi Qing's animal taming performance, Kumei's Kunqu opera singing performance, and Ming Ming's acrobatic performance, which makes everyone refreshed. There are many troupes that perform in the rivers and lakes, including troupes specializing in acting, juggling classes, martial arts classes, and performing qigong. The benevolence class is the culmination of various teams, and the repertoire is varied and renovated. Don't get bored. Bing'er also tried to tame the beast from the original monkey-based to a fresh scene of all kinds of small animals. For example, in addition to the traditional repertoire of Shi Qing, the monkey somersault to the monkey riding the sheep.
Bing'er also pushed his Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai onto the stage. Monkeys, sheep, and dogs are all easier to tame, but cats are difficult to tame because cats are lazy. But in Bing'er's hands, the tiger has to be obedient, let alone the kitten? So Xiao Huang Xiaobai came on stage, which was really enjoyable. They were washed clean, dressed in floral clothes, sometimes standing and walking on two feet, sometimes shaking their heads and "reading". Sometimes he jumped in the air and won bursts of applause from the audience. Shi Qing felt that he was a little ashamed of himself, except for playing monkeys, and letting the monkeys flip a few heels. Bing'er handed over her tamed cat to Shi Qing, and Shi Qing was moved and admired. Bing'er told Shi Qing that he wanted to study a new repertoire. These days, Bing'er always has a dream, that is, Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai have become big tigers. Xiao Huang became a colorful tiger, and Xiao Bai became a plain white white tiger. I remember Master Gan Lin said: "To be a teacher is to lend you supernatural powers to use, so that you can survive and have the minimum guarantee of food and clothing." You can use it however you want, but you can't use it for bad things, such as bullying, revenge, or showing off. Punish those who bully you and insult you, and scare him when he wants to kill you. Don't be bound by the ways of the human world. Use your imagination and use it flexibly. ”
Bing'er pondered these words of the master: "Don't be bound by the methods of the human world and use them as you like? "Bing'er has never shown herself or flaunted her ideas, isn't her ability to show off or show off? It's your own, and there's no need to show it off or show it off! How can you show off yourself with Master's supernatural powers? Bing'er felt that she could grasp this point. Was that dream a reminder from Master to give it a try?
Bing'er himself has nothing to be afraid of, the real tiger has also seen it, what is he afraid of with the "three tips"? But turning Xiao Huang into a colorful tiger, will it frighten the people in the team? The girls are timid, what if they get sick from the scare? Bing'er thought a lot. I fell asleep thinking about it. I saw Master. Master smiled and said, "Bing'er, you have realized what you should do, do it boldly, you will use these two cats to become tigers in the future." They are cats and not tigers, so they don't hurt people. In the future, there will be big animals, and tigers will have to perform with it, and now we must learn to direct it and be familiar with its temperament. Make good use of the help of these friends, they are all spiritual. But you must remember one thing, never use poisonous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, foxes, weasels, jackals and other fierce, cunning, poisonous animals, remember! ”
Bing'er understood what she should do. In his spare time, he took Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai to a place where no one was, and commanded them to turn into tigers, and he actually succeeded! That's a real big tiger! Bing'er commanded them to run, jump, whistle, and ride on their backs to soar into the air, really as they pleased. Although they are the image of a tiger, they are the character of a cat, very docile, Bing'er has a number in her heart, and she is no longer bold. Take the time to train them and make yourself comfortable in the show. But he didn't know how to explain it to the rest of the team, would it scare them? Let's talk to Uncle Shi first, we have to break through this barrier. So he called Shi Tong aside alone, and said very strategically: "Uncle, is there a juggling team that trains big animals?" ”
"What are the big animals you mean? There are those who train horses and oxen, what do you want to train children? ”
"Tiger."
"Oh my God, you kid is so bold!"
"Uncle, do you think cats and tigers are similar?"
"Of course, if you can make a cat the size of a tiger, it makes no difference. It's just that the cry is different, and a tiger meowing is too ugly. ”
Shi Tong thought that Bing'er was telling a joke to himself: children are often whimsical, and Shi Qing said that tigers are very similar to cats. How nice it would be if you turned a cat into a tiger and didn't eat people and were obedient? Bing'er is not as old as Shi Qing, and it is normal for her to be playful and want to be in trouble, so she will say a few words along with him.
Bing'er said: "Our Xiaohuang and Xiaobai are very much like tigers, let's give it a try?" How about turning them into non-cannibal tigers? ”
"You kid, you're as naughty as Shi Qing."
"Uncle, don't be afraid, look back."
As soon as Shi Tong turned his head, his legs were not easy to use - the two tigers sat behind him, leisurely looking around.
"Uncle, don't be afraid, they are Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai. You see, Bing'er made them turn back. Come on, Xiaohuang, come to me, you're still a cat, right? ”
Xiao Huang immediately turned back into a little yellow cat, meowed and ran back to Bing'er's legs, rubbing Bing'er's thighs affectionately. Shi Tong's eyes widened. It seems that he can't breathe: "Bing'er! Is this, is this true? Can you turn Yellow into a tiger again? ”
"Yes, but don't be afraid, come to me."
Shi Tong came over immediately, and despite the trembling on his legs, he stayed away from Xiaobai. I don't know what Bing'er said to Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang became a colorful tiger as soon as he stretched his waist.
"Uncle, what will happen if we send Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai to the stage?"
"It will shock the entire Qing Dynasty!"
"Wouldn't it? We're jugglers, and who's going to take it seriously? ”
"I will! I saw with my own eyes that you turned a cat into a tiger! ”
"Uncle, this is a trick,"
"Oh my God, this trick is going to be a big deal!" (To be continued.) )
