At that time, the provincial city of Daguanyuan was really a lively place, those boxing, performers, storytellers, singers, jugglers, begging for food, juggling, making the Daguanyuan lively. Jinan people have nothing to do, and they are always willing to go here to have a lively time, watch a little play, and temporarily let go of so many sorrows in their hearts.

Just in the southeast corner of the Grand View Garden, there is a small opera troupe, called Chang Letian, which occupies a small place and stages the Lv opera program that Jinan people like.

At that time, the actors who sang opera were called primary school apprentices, where did the primary school apprentices come from, they were all hard-working children, adults didn't want them, or they didn't have a father or mother to ask for food, there were two primary school apprentices in the apprentices at that time, one was called Xizi, the big name was Pan Xiao'an, the other was called Niu'er, the big name Yueying, they gradually grew up under the harsh education of the opera troupe, and slowly became pillars.

In a blink of an eye, on December 27, 37, the Japanese had occupied Jinan, which made the poor and backward Jinan people worse, but no matter how poor the days were, they always had to live, so Chang Lotian still sang every day as usual, staging the joys and sorrows on the stage.

One day, the opera troupe was staging the Lu opera "Haunted Room", which is a funny little story. It is about Wang Tianbao and Li Haitang's childhood sweethearts, and when they became adults, Tianbao's family road fell, and Begonia did not destroy the previous agreement. On the wedding night, Haitang was worried that Tianbao would be greedy for his father-in-law's wealth and would not be motivated, so he ridiculed each other many times, and lifted Tianbao under the bed three times...... Although Tianbao people are poor but not short-minded, the husband and wife spit out a small story of returning to good.

Pan Xiaoan played Wang Tianbao, he praised his daughter-in-law Li Haitang for her beauty: "I secretly looked at the lady by the light, and I spread a daughter-in-law Sai Tianxian, with black hair, white face, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, her eyebrows are curved, she has been handsome and cute since she was a child, these years are as strong as those years, why do you bow your head and don't speak, it looks like she must be shy......"

After the two made love, Li Haitang thought and sang in his heart: "Since childhood, childhood sweethearts have been together, the two of us have been married like brothers and sisters, he has never dressed up as a groom, patched clothes are worn, a pair of mountain shoes are still semi-new, unmarried all said that I have a poor son-in-law on the stall, my sister-in-law said that I have a poor son-in-law, and my sister-in-law has said that she has a scoop and asks for food and then follows, for this reason I quarreled with my father, determined not to be humble and poor husband, I love him since he was a child, I have been a loyal person since he was a child, tonight I will say a few cool words to him, just see how he reacts......"

Li Haitang teased him: "If you want to go to bed, you have to be the right pair first, if you don't match, you can't go to bed." Wang Tianbao said dissatisfiedly: "Which rule is this, if I really don't match, I can't go to bed?" ”

Wang Haitang sang: "A pair of fish with two eyes? Wang Tianbao said: "Flounder Pisces is happy in the water." ”

Wang Haitang asked: "Two flowers in one stalk?" Wang Tianbao said: "Who doesn't know that it's called Buttillian." ”

Wang Haitang said: "Two toads with seven legs? ”

Wang Tianbao couldn't answer, so he could only say: "It can only be a toad with three legs, and this is called a three-legged toad -- difficult." ”

When the two went to bed, looking at the quilts that were all accompanied by their mother's family, Wang Tianbao said: "Will you be stained with your mother's light in the future?" Li Haitang frowned and said, "Do you expect to live naked in the future?" Wang Tianbao said: "That's right, my family is poor, and I can't help it, so I will be stained with your mother's light in the future!" ”

Wang Haitang was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself: "I blushed after hearing this, my husband has to live a bare life, if he is lazy and lazy, he can't do it properly, but I can make me complain in vain, and I will torture him if it is true or false." So Wang Haitang said that these quilts belong to my mother's family, and if you don't want to sleep on them, please take care of yourself, and squeeze Wang Tianbao under the bed for the first time.

How to sing a play is called singing well, that is, a fake play is really sung, whether it is Wang Haitang or Wang Tianbao, it is really a real thing to sing, of course, it is a good performance, this play won a piece of applause from the audience.

Just when the play was over, a Japanese man came up, bowed to Wang Haitang, and said: "I am the Japanese Imperial Army, my name is Nakamura, you are so good at acting, please go to the place of our Japanese Imperial Army to sing the opera, that is, sing this play." What is this play called, making a room, and also calling us Japanese people to make a room. ”

Yueying was young, watching the Japanese in yellow military uniforms come to the stage, still an officer, carrying a command knife, she was a little scared at the time, and hurriedly hid beside her senior brother Pan Xiaoan. Pan Xiaoan hurriedly and politely said to Nakamura: "Nakamura Taijun, hello! We are acting, it's not a real thing, besides, our drama can't be performed by one person, we have to have a team, and our drama team doesn't go out to perform. ”

Pan Xiaoan said that if he can't go out to act, it's fake, and the singing hall is also out, but he can't act for the Japanese. What are these Japanese doing, they are just beasts, if you go to them to act, won't you send meat to the wolf's den and tiger's mouth!

Nakamura Taijun was also very polite, and said with a smile: "Then invite your team to sing together!" We Japanese people are very fond of Chinese opera, especially this noisy room, which is very lively and funny, and it will definitely greatly improve the morale of our Japanese. When we get there, we let you eat our Japanese rice, Japanese sushi, and Japanese okonomiyaki, which is very delicious, you Chinese have not eaten. ”

Pan Xiaoan shook his head and said, "I said that our troupe will not go out to perform. We are not used to eating your Japanese snacks, and there is nothing delicious in the Grand View Garden, and your Japanese snacks are not rare. ”

Pan Xiaoan's repeated refusal really made Nakamura angry, his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Baga! Your toast does not eat and drink, and the politeness does not understand. Your real boss is not, call the head of your troupe, and I want to talk to him. ”

This Nakamura is still a China expert, and he knows that Pan Xiaoan is just an ordinary elementary school apprentice and can't be a family, so he has to ask the head of the troupe to come forward to speak.

The head of the troupe had no choice but to come out to negotiate with Nakamura, this one side of the sky is a soft bone, knowing that it is now the world of the Japanese, and he can't be hard with the Japanese, so he had to say softly: "Nakamura Taijun, Nakamura Taijun, our drama troupe does not go out to act, but if you want us to perform, we have no choice, so we have to make an exception to go out and perform a play." ”

Pan Xiaoan has always looked at an angel, telling him that he will never agree to the request of the Japanese, but the master of the drama troupe also has his difficulties! If they didn't agree, not to mention that Nakamura's Japanese troops were not satisfied, if this matter was stabbed into the gendarmerie and casually given the reputation of a rebel against the Japanese, then they would have to go away without eating.

In the evening, the whole troupe gets together to study the performance of the Japanese.

The moon turtle cowered in a corner, like a helpless bird, quietly waiting for everyone's departure. From time to time, she muttered in a whisper: "Tell me to perform for the Japanese, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm not going...... I'm not going to ......."

Pan Xiaoan complained to the class master: "Master, these Japanese are not human, and there is nothing for us big men to perform there when they come there, but the little sister Yueying is dangerous!" ”

Some junior brothers also said with their mouths in their mouths: "These Japanese have killed how many of our Chinese and raped how many of our Chinese women, and they can't count them, and they can't hide!" How can you put it in the dog's mouth? "Who said it wasn't, Xiao Yueying is young and beautiful, how can she be sent to the devil's camp!" "You can't go to this performance, it's really not good, the troupe is disbanded, and you can't go."

However, the head of the class was a dead tendon on the side, and he was drunk and didn't recognize half a pot of wine, so he still emphasized: "But there are more than 20 people in our troupe, young and old, and we want to eat, we are all good people, and we haven't fought against them, so I don't believe what he can do to us." Besides, this is the world of the Japanese, and no matter where you go, you can't run out of their palms. ”

A few people who looked at the class owner also said confusedly: "We are Jinan, a provincial city, what can the Japanese do, don't they also have a headquarters, and don't they also have a command in charge of the Japanese?" If they dare to do anything to Yueying, we will sue him. ”

Pan Xiaoan lost his temper when he heard this: "Do you think this is the National Government, even the National Government is also open to the south at the entrance of the yamen, and there is no reason to come in without money." What's more, this is the Japanese, where do they still have a reason to turn to us. ”

Until this time, the head of the class had no choice but to say bear words: "I have promised that Nakamura, what do you say we should do?" Can't the troupe stop acting for this and run away? ”

Pan Xiaoan thought for a while and said, "If you have to go, you have to have a way to go." ”

"What the hell can you do?" Yitian asked Pan Xiaoan as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Pan Xiaoan had to say a few words in his ear, and the troupe smiled and said, "It's still my apprentice who is smart, and I haven't trained you in vain for the past few years." ”

But Yueying still didn't want to go, and the head of the drama troupe talked about it on a good day, so she did her job and asked her to go to the devil's camp with the troupe to act.

The place where the devil listens to the drama is also in the open air, because the place in Jinan is small, and there is no such a big theater in the barracks. The devil soldiers below sat neatly in rows and rows, all holding guns and wearing shiny steel helmets, next to Japanese sentries standing guard. And because the city is densely populated, it is always impossible to keep the secret of acting, and not far away, there are also some fans who are not afraid of death, watching from a distance.

The first to come up and perform the play was quite smooth, because many devils didn't understand Chinese, but it was just that sentence, and the foreign devils watched the play - dumbfounded, just to see the excitement. With the development of the plot, coupled with the fact that many traitor translators spoke Japanese, these Japanese soldiers knew the plot and laughed one by one.

"This little Chinese lady is really Lang, much more interesting than our Japanese women." "After seeing this little Chinese lady, I can't sleep at night." "The hole room, interesting, interesting, I'm going to make trouble with her tonight."

When it came to the performance, Wang Haitang sang: "It's not difficult for you to sleep peacefully, there is an ancient man who said to you." There was a Lu Mengzheng in the Song Dynasty, he was an ignorant and ignorant man, he rushed to the market to pick up the lottery, Liu Chengxiang deceived him when he saw him, and he withdrew from the marriage for ten taels of silver, he should beg hard to put Gao Pan, why did he return to the cold kiln when he was angry. Why did the father and daughter turn against each other, and Liu Ruilian was driven out of the prime minister's house. Madame, she sent someone to send rice and noodles, why did Meng Zheng turn his face, why did he not love Ronghua and wealth, why did he not touch Ronghua and Fugui, he is a stupid talent who doesn't know what to do, you say that he is stupid and stupid? ”

Wang Tianbao sang-for-tat: "You only know the silly and stupid Lu Mengzheng, and there is a Wang Baochuan who doesn't know what to do, threw the color ball and hit Xue Pinggui, stupid and stupid put the decent is not decent, Wang Chengxiang took back the color ball and matched the marriage, she didn't love the princes and nobles, why did she follow Pinggui to suffer from hunger and cold, Xue Pinggui ate food and became a soldier in Xiliang, why did she wait for him for 18 years, why didn't she go to her mother's house to borrow, why did she Wujiapo suffer, she is really an ignorant and ignorant stupid bird, you say she is stupid, she is stupid. ”

The more the two of them talked, the more angry they became, Wang Tianbao wanted to go to bed, and Wang Haitang suddenly lifted him to the ground again.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers burst into laughter, and the Japanese soldiers began to talk again. "Both of them have a point, which one is right." "This is the culture of the Chinese, I can't understand it, I can't understand it."

The traitor translator pretended to be an expert and said in Japanese: "This is Ms. Wang Haitang testing Wang Tianbaojun to see what he thinks in his heart?" This is Wang Tianbaojun talking back, saying that Wang Baochuan is stupid, in fact, it means that Wang Baochuan is not stupid, it is her love for her husband. ”

The Japanese shook their heads when they heard this: "Mine still doesn't understand, I still don't understand." "Why is it so difficult to get into bed, just go up." "Kobayashi-kun, look at what you say, it's too uninteresting. Haha......"

The Japanese muttered for a while, but they still understood less and didn't understand more. Nakamura's meaning is actually that the drunkard does not mean to drink, he wants to take advantage of the acting, so as to connive at the Japanese soldiers to leave Wang Haitang, and she also wants to have a "hole room" with Wang Haitang.

After the play, the actor finished the curtain to the audience, and the devil soldiers also lined up and withdrew from the stage, at this time, suddenly several Japanese soldiers arrived on the stage, and the leading one was Nakamura. As soon as he waved his hand, several Japanese soldiers went up and shouted to Yueying: "Come with us quickly, come with us quickly, our Japanese Imperial Army is big, and we will also make trouble in the cave." "We only need this Ms. Wang Haitang, and nothing else." "Hurry! Hurry! ”
