CHAPTER XV

Waiting for the sound of gongs and drums, she flexibly turned the red tassel gun in her hand and stepped onto the stage with small steps. In response to the sound of gongs and drums, a spear spins rapidly, or a rollover, or a stab. The audience often erupted in shocking applause, but she didn't hear it, she only felt a little hungry. In her brain, no amount of loud sound could drown out the rumbling of her stomach.

After a while, her brothers and sisters came on the stage, and she immediately got off the stage and went backstage.

Although I was only hungry for a meal, for this kind of person who was engaged in this kind of hard work, I could detect the benefits and disadvantages if I didn't eat a meal, but because of the tight time, it was too late.

She sat on the ground, leaning her back against the backstage wall, and put her hand into the costume, as if the flesh on her stomach was shaking with a cooing sound.

But Xu Yuanyuan couldn't remove her makeup, because she still had to sing on stage in the second half, and she had to appear before the curtain call. If you ask if there are any snacks, it is true. Those people think that it is enough to eat a full meal, and snacks are just eaten by money and greed, and they are useless. Not to mention whether the people in the troupe have so much spare money, if someone really buys snacks, but after a while, they will be swept away, how can they leave that time to make people hungry.

In the end, in desperation, she thought about sitting on the ground like this, relieving her fatigue, moving less, and wearing out less physical strength, and kept the second half to continue singing.

Even if it was muddy, Xu Xuanxuan still did his best to sing the second half of the scene in the second half, not for the sky or the earth, but for his heart of love for Wudan.

When the performance was over, Xu Yuan went backstage to remove his makeup and change his clothes, and was about to go back to the Xu family's compound, but there was a figure standing in the courtyard. Although her back was to her, she was a little familiar, and muttered in her heart, is it the boy who gave him safflower cream?

The man turned around, his eyebrows were like peaks, and his eyes were as bright as stars, and as pure as a clear spring.

That's him!

The man stepped forward, took out a yellow oiled paper bag from his arms, opened it and put it in front of her, it was two buns, and said: "You are the first to appear in the afternoon, I think you haven't eaten, singing is a hard work, especially Wudan, you must be hungry when you come down, so I will prepare two buns, and wait for you to eat when you come out." His voice is as comfortable as a warm spring breeze, and it is comforting.

But Xu Yuanxuan didn't take it, but just said: "Master said, no merit will not be punished." With just eight words, he rejected the man.

Xu Yuan wanted to leave after speaking, but the man followed, and hurriedly said, "Don't treat me as an outsider, just as a friend." ”

Yes, just friends.

Xu Yuan was a little moved, as if in her memory, no one had mentioned the word "friend". After all, she doesn't have much contact with people, she stays in the troupe all day long, and she doesn't go out often, and she only sees the brothers and sisters in the troupe every day.

Therefore, Xu Yuan was a little moved. In the little corner of the darkness of the heart, I don't know what is spreading, because of the darkness, I have never seen it clearly, and I have never known it.

Xu Yuanyu took the bun in the man's hand, and it still had residual warmth, I don't know if it was the heat of the original bun, or the man holding it in his arms. She broke it open and there was a meat filling, and the oil in it flowed out, and it flowed to her hands, and it dripped to the ground, and a darker flower bloomed on the bluestone floor.

Although Xu Huanqing treats his apprentices very well, but because of his livelihood, he rarely buys meat to eat, and the last time he ate meat should be during the New Year's Festival, when he sang at the house of the official Shangshu, there was meat in the dishes arranged by the house.

Xu was so hungry that her empty stomach now looked like a huge barren sinkhole, and she needed something to fill it, perhaps mixed with something else, such as friendship between friends. She didn't have to pretend to maintain her demeanor in front of outsiders. So she was a little embarrassed to eat.
