"Ning Xiang, this is not going to be ready to start behind the scenes!" The old man glared at her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, okay!" Ning Xiang responded cheerfully, and then went behind the scenes to prepare.

"Dangdang~"

A few gongs sounded, which immediately attracted some onlookers.

The old man coughed a few times, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen of Chang'an City, the little old man's surname is Chen, and he is the head of this Chen family's class. My Chen family class is a shadow puppet show for a living, and when I first arrived in Beijing, I presented a shadow puppet show for everyone. Folks, if you have money to hold a money field, you don't have money to hold a personal field, the New Year is coming soon, and you should have a lively picture! ”

"Class master, which part are we going to play this time?" The young man who followed the old man asked.

Chen Laohan said with a smile: "You fathers and villagers in Chang'an City are well-informed, and you must have seen all kinds of shadow puppetry. But our Chen family class wants to be different, we don't act if others have acted, and if we want to act, we will play what we haven't seen before! Today, let's play a new story for you! ”

"What's your new story? Let's get started! I love to listen to stories! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! It's been a long time since I've seen a shadow puppet show, but I didn't expect to bump into it today! ”

Someone in the crowd shouted impatiently.

Chen Laohan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, then start the show now!" ”

With the sound of a gong, the shadow puppet show officially began.

I saw that on the curtain, a silhouette of a house first appeared, and then a pot-bellied man seemed to be the owner of the house.

"The master's surname is Zhang Danziyuan, and the family lives in Fuguiyuan again. The family has tens of millions of fertile land, and the wives and concubines are full of happiness. ”

With the sound, the shadow puppets on the curtain make an exaggerated crusade, which is very vivid.

"Alas, my lord and my family have a lot of money, but recently I have encountered a trouble. If you want to say why it's annoying, it's a long story. ”

Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the shadow puppet continued: "Master, I have newly married a concubine, and I want to build a new attic next to the manor for the concubine, but that piece of feng shui treasure land is owned by a poor tenant. If I buy it with money, I can buy it, but in this way, won't I lose my identity? Well, sir, I have to think carefully and see how I can get this feng shui treasure without spending a copper plate. Hey, hey, hey. ”

With a burst of sinister laughter, the scene began to change.

Silhouette of a farmland, two diminutive children.

"Sister, ...... hungry." The boy bit his fingers.

The girl patted the boy and said, "My brother is good, I will have something to eat when my father and mother come back." ”

"Hungry...... Whining! The boy seemed to be hungry and began to cry aloud.

The girl hurriedly comforted the boy, but the boy continued to cry.

After a while, the girl seemed to remember something, and hurriedly pointed to the field, and said excitedly: "Brother, let's go to the field to find snails to eat!" ”

When he heard that there was something to eat, the boy immediately stopped crying, ran into the field hand in hand with the girl, grabbed the snails and ate them.

……

The scenes changed one by one, and there were more and more onlookers.

The scene returns to the Zhang family compound again.

Zhang Yuan sat in a chair, and the boy and girl knelt on the ground.

"Let me ask you, did you steal the old man's big white goose?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"No...... We didn't eat goose ....... The girl's voice trembled.

"Hmph, I didn't eat the old man's goose, why is the old man's goose missing? Boy, tell me, what did you eat for lunch? Zhang Yuan flicked down his sleeves and asked the boy sharply.

The boy seemed to be greatly frightened, and he almost cried out, "I...... I....... ”

However, Zhang Yuan did not give the boy a chance to continue talking, he jumped up from the chair and said with a cruel smile: "Goose? Goose? Sure enough, sir, I know that you stole the goose! Come on, send this thief boy to the government, my lord I want him to pay for the goose's life! Aha! ”

Seeing this, a burst of angry scolding suddenly erupted in the crowd.

"This Zhang Yuan is clearly deliberately finding fault, that kid just said 'I', and he was twisted into a goose?"

"Damn, this surname Zhang is too much of a thing! In order to get land, he wronged a child? ”

"In my opinion, this story is not over yet, let's continue to watch!"

……

The scene changes again, and the background changes to an ancestral hall.

There were a few onlookers in front of the ancestral hall, and in addition to the boy and girl, there was also a woman.

The woman first saluted to everyone, then bowed to the ancestral hall, and cried: "Fellow villagers, the old man of the Zhang family wronged my son for stealing a goose, and the foolish official accepted a bribe. If I really steal the Zhang family's goose here, it's not a pity to die! If you are wronged, ask the gods to avenge the people's women! ”

When the woman had finished speaking, she took up her knife and slashed open the boy's belly!

The onlookers let out a burst of exclamation.

"Pity God! There is only snail meat in the child's abdomen, and there is no goose meat, and the little woman is wronged! ”

And with a cry of injustice, the woman took up a knife and killed herself.

Blood seemed to be sprayed through the curtain.

The terrible shout continued to echo in everyone's ears.

Lin Xiaomei stared straight at the curtain, with a pair of big black eyes, and at this time, two lines of blood and tears flowed out!

She is most familiar with this shadow puppet play, and this play is clearly made up based on her experience.

The scenes she had experienced appeared in front of her eyes again, and Lin Xiaomei's heart was like a knife.

She crawled on the table, and in order to keep herself from crying, she bit her arm so hard that it was deeply wounded, and blood slid down her white arm, and she did not react.

"Damn! I can't stand it! This one is far from being as good as a beast! If Lao Tzu encounters him, Lao Tzu will have to kill him! ”

"Woo...... Poor little sister, mother and brother died in front of her, I really don't know how she should live? ”

Why is there so much injustice in this world? The Lin family has been wronged like this, is there nowhere to redress their grievances? ”

……

The story continues, and finally, a big official came to the town again, and after hearing what happened to the Lin family, he avenged him and successfully arrested Zhang Yuan.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the big official did not execute Zhang Yuan, or even let him go to prison.

"Class master, what kind of story are you? Tell me, why Zhang Yuan was not punished? Among the onlookers, some shouted dissatisfiedly.

"This magistrate doesn't know anything, it is said that Zhang Yuan made meritorious service and made meritorious contributions, so he did not detain him." The class leader put down the erhu and sighed.

"Hmph, this Zhang Yuan is so hateful, what kind of merit has he made to offset his sins? I think it's the official who received the silver taels surnamed Zhang! (To be continued.) )
