Chapter 17: Homecoming
One moment on stage, ten years off stage.
The exquisite lyrics were sung from the mouths of the actors step by step, and the people in the audience praised them with applause again and again, and the applause was like a tide, wave after wave, and gradually covered the people's applause.
Xie Jin, who was still crooked with a pair of lazy bones just now, rarely straightened his clothes at this moment and sat up properly, but his two hands were still not free. In his left hand, he held a closed fan, and in the palm of his right hand, he beat the drums to the beat of the drums. Or, the fan was erected again, opened and closed, closed and opened.
This impatient look, if he was seen by his well-eyed friend and good brother Liu Shi, he would have said a few words, "A gentleman is virtuous, his words must be right, his body is not slanted, and his heart should be ......." However, if his Taifu father was here, he might rush home to burn a few pillars of high incense for his ancestors, and he would still mutter, "Don't be a stinky boy, today can be regarded as a person" Yunyun.
"Why haven't you seen Xiao Douding come up yet? If you don't sing anymore, I'll just take people away......"
Xie Jin frowned, his eyebrows were already good-looking. This wrinkle actually attracted the young lady next to him to look at him frequently.
Let's say that Xie Jin waited a little anxiously, so he couldn't help but stagger his eyes and raise a cup of tea to moisten his throat. It was at this moment that Xie Jin was suddenly stunned for a moment, and the teacup in his hand was held in his hand, and it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the brown tea in the cup swayed down and almost spilled out.
The moment of stunned thought quickly passed, and no one noticed. What's more, people put their eyes on the "Three Holy Mother".
"Heaven is not fair! I want my mother and son to be separated......"
The gongs and drums became slower and slower, and in the end, in the rebuke of the "Three Virgins", they gradually faded away, and only the slightest huqin mourning could be heard.
"Mother! Mother!!! Woowoo...... Let go of my mother! ”
Unexpected sounds, unexpected figures. rushed to the stage unexpectedly, and was so surprised that several other actors looked at each other, this and this, there was no such "little agarwood" in the play book!
According to the original script, at this time, the "Three Holy Mother" should have been beaten by the heavenly soldiers and generals, and then they should be scattered and dragged down in embarrassment.
The problem is also here, playing the play of "Three Virgins", although he is a newcomer, he is quite popular with the people who come and go in this golden building, and the reward is naturally much more than other plays. Other actors were red-eyed, but they didn't dare to do anything to him.
But then, they came up with a good solution. Didn't the play book decide at a glance that these three virgins were going to be beaten by the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and the flesh and blood were separated? Let's fight......
The scars under the splendid clothes are all dark wounds after the addition of fists and feet. Even if you tell someone to go, what can you do? Can you still let him fight back? In the end, the punches and kicks on the stage will only get heavier......
The actor dressed as the "Three Virgins" hid his face and cried on the stage, and the sound of muttering was endless, however, no one knew that at this moment, the face full of peach blossoms under the water sleeves was ecstatic.
Since you don't let me have a good time, then I'm going to ruin the play.
It's really a practice of killing a thousand enemies and losing 800 yourself. Xie Jin shook his head and continued to read.
At this moment, both on and off the stage were quiet. Only the huqin was still helplessly cooperating with the cry of the "Three Virgins". However, in the end, he had seen a big scene, and he only heard a reprimand from the "Erlang God", and pushed Xuanyuan Qi to the back of the stage without saying anything, and then personally dragged the "Three Holy Mother" down.
As for the play, it will continue to be played. I thought it would be a smash of the scene, but unexpectedly, it was more intense applause and applause from the people in the audience.
"That little agarwood just now is really distressing......"
"Yes, yes, this little agarwood is really good......"
In the midst of people's heads, Xie Jin shook the fan in his hand and quietly slipped to the back of the stage.
Oops, this little agarwood is still sitting here obediently! The rouge blush on his face and the painted eyebrows had been pasted together, and only the red dot between the eyebrows was still intact.
"Oops~ Tut-tut, I can't think of it, I can't imagine it, it turns out that His Royal Highness King Kang is not only able to write and martial arts, but also a good seedling of singing, no wonder every time I doze off in class, I wake up and the old man's questions can be answered, it seems that you are pretending to be asleep on weekdays......"
Who else would it be to expose the banter of the old bottom, except for the stinky Jin who either painted a turtle on her face every day when she was dozing off, or took away her books, or took off her shoes?
"Humph! I don't know who fell into the pond of the Imperial Garden in order to hide from the Taifu, and rolled into the mud, like a loach! ”
I don't know if these two people are inherently incompatible, in short, as soon as the two meet, it has always been like this. This is not the same as seeing Wang Xiaoliang, Xuanyuan Qi just choked on him simply because Wang Xiaoliang poured her two large bowls of ginger soup at the beginning.
"Huh! Let's not talk about this for a while, Ah Hehe is going crazy looking for you now, let's go to Xiangyi Zhai and wait for him! He was stunned for no reason, and then Xie Jin directly dragged down Xuanyuan Qi, who was still sitting on a wooden box with Erlang's legs crossed, and ran out of the back door of the Qianjin Building like a fly.
Xie Jin ran in a hurry, and Xuanyuan Qi's hands turned red. Despite this, even if the little man was in some pain, he didn't cry out. Because at this time, she had another question in her heart, and she couldn't solve it.
"Whew...... Call...... Stinky Jin, how do you know that Ah He is looking for me? How do you know he's fasting? Why do I always think that you, Ah He, and Ah Shi are more intelligent than the rhinoceros horns? It was only when the two of them ran to the North Street Market that they stopped. Xuanyuan Qi gasped, and finally asked the question in her heart, especially the last one, she had been wondering for a long time.
"What, what rhino horn? The old man taught in class, you don't remember it well, it's called 'a little bit of understanding', remember it this time, right? Ha ......"
At first, Xie Jin was still a little confused, if it weren't for the fact that he took classes with this little bean ding on weekdays, he would have had more contact. I really don't know what he's talking nonsense for a while. Thinking of this, Xie Jin picked up the fan with his left hand and gently knocked it on Xuanyuan Qi's head.
It's just that he didn't answer any of the three questions asked by Xuanyuan Qi after all.
And here, Xu He was really sitting on the steps in front of the gate of the Yizhai Zhai, waiting for the two of them.
His body was weak, and he leaned directly against the pillar behind him. Because of the injury of the pipa bone, he moved slightly, found a comfortable angle, and the coarse linen clothes on his body immediately showed a long sweat stain on his back. At this moment, not only on his face, but also on the strands of bangs, a little bead of sweat can be vaguely seen on the broken hair.
Those eagle talons were firmly fastened, but fortunately, they didn't hurt his main meridians when they were unloaded, and they almost lost their martial arts.
"Ahh
It was the voice of Little Beanding, loud and crisp, and it could be heard fifty paces away. Xu He shook his head, and the beads of sweat in his hair flew out with this force. After blinking his eyes again, Xu He slowly stood up with his right hand supporting the pillar behind him.
When he looked up again, the two dots, one large and one small, that had just come into his eyes in the distance, had been magnified several times at this moment, and they were clearly standing in front of him.
The tacit acquaintance who had known each other early on, both tacit understanding, naturally the two did not need too much explanation when they met, their eyes met, and their hearts were already clear.
"No problem."
"Peace."
"Then let's go back quickly......" Just as Xuanyuan Qi looked up at the mysterious exchange between the two people, he couldn't help but interrupt them with words.
The unruly gentleman beside him shook his head, looking a little like Mrs. Xie, who had a headache when he saw him. He closed the fan he was playing with again and muttered, "Ah, let's go......
"Good ......"
Probably because the thing in his mind had been put down, Xu He blurted out this word, and then fell to the ground, he was really tired.
"Ah! Ah! You...... What happened to you? ”
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Qi hurriedly squatted down, and a pair of small hands slapped directly at Xu He's face. There is no response, push him, and push him not to move. Just when she was about to jump to her feet in a hurry, she only heard Xie Jin sigh.
While shaking his head, he also squatted down, so to speak, to carry the sleeping Xu He on his back.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay, it's still angry." It was both to confirm and appease Xuanyuan Qi behind him, Xie Jin said in a non-formal manner.
At this moment, the sun is about to set to the west, and there are only three or three figures left in the lively alley. Xie Jin carried Xu He on his back, and the shadows of the two overlapping were stretched infinitely on the bluestone brick floor.
"Hey, keep up...... Let's go......"
"Didn't I say you, do you think you're made of iron? Even now, it seems, there is a day of rust......"
From the gate of Xiangyizhai to the back door of King Kang's mansion, Xie Jin kept thinking about it all the way. He didn't stop until he entered King Kang's Mansion, and when he was put down by him, he muttered. "Thanks to my master, I have a good foundation that I have practiced on weekdays, otherwise I will be tired." Then he stuck out his tongue at another boy of the same age who came out to answer him, and then he "sneakily" out the back door, and came home late, and the old man in the house should blow his beard and stare again.
Seeing the monkey-like glow-colored robe over the wall, the young man who came out to answer shook his head. While muttering as before, "It's still the same", he took Xuanyuan Qi's hand and brought the little man into the house from the outside corridor.
"Eh, you're smiling, you're smiling! Ah, you have a smile this time, I saw it! ”
With a small flower face, Xuanyuan Qi stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the young man, his eyes glancing upward, as if he had caught a Jiangyang thief.
In an instant, like a spark, the smile on the face of the young man known as "Ah Shi" was like throwing a stone into a lake, and it quickly turned flat.
At this moment, Wang Xiaoliang had just heard the news and rushed from the other side of the house to deal with the wounds on Xu He's body. Compared with Xuanyuan Jue's pain of missing his eyes and Xu He's penetrating pipa bone, the slight abrasions on the other three people were as light as a feather and not worth mentioning.
"The martial arts are not wasted, but they have injured some small meridians, but I am afraid that in the future, I will also fall into a problem of hand tremors......" After Wang Xiaoliang carefully examined Xu He's wounds, he turned his head and replied to the young man. He seemed a little nervous, cleared his throat, but choked on his own saliva again, and coughed a few more times.
After all, the smoke in front of him threatened him, so that he had to become the palace doctor of King Kang's Mansion from today on.
"Sir can go, but once he walks out of the palace, he won't live past tonight......"
The young man listened to Wang Xiaoliang's words and was speechless. After a long time, he finally sighed, glanced at Xu He on the couch, gave Wang Xiaoliang a command, and then turned around and took Xuanyuan Qi out of the room.
The carved wooden door was piggybacked, and the door shaft made a long "squeak".
Tonight, King Kang's Mansion, I don't think it will be too peaceful.
