The weather is getting colder and colder, and the autumn harvest is almost over. The grain chiefs in various localities had to organize the people to hand over grain, and a large number of people poured into the provincial capitals, which rarely showed a trace of prosperity.

The people are rubbing shoulders one after another, the roadside stalls are next to each other, and the cries of selling go straight to the sky, if you don't look at the refugees who are not covered by the city wall, there is a trace of the scene of prosperity.

Suddenly, a strange carriage came on the street, there were four wheels, it walked very smoothly, and there was a flagpole on the car, and there was a banner on it: Jiangnan famous class Ruiyun sang for free for three days.

Under the flagpole, there is a young woman dressed in a costume, and her slender figure flicks her water sleeves from time to time, like a butterfly in the carriage, smart and moving. How many people's eyes fell on her and they were reluctant to leave.

There was no impact on the road, and the passers-by with blue noses and swollen faces forgot to take revenge, and stared stupidly, for fear that the woman in front of them would fly away.

The woman in the car smiled brightly, and in an instant she compared the flowers. A babbling Kunshan cavity flowed out, as if a lark was singing.

The people who came and went couldn't help but peek at it, and they all secretly said: What a fucking handsome!

……

"Look at everything, saliva is on the ground!"

"Brother, didn't you read it too!"

"I, I'm here to see if I can compare to your sister-in-law."

"Can it be compared?"

"If his mother compares, my brother won't watch it, it's a pity, it's a shame to go away so quickly, and I can't see it anymore."

The two brothers were muttering on the side of the road, and someone laughed: "Two, it's not easy to see it, I'm going to see the play tomorrow!" ”

"Watching a play?" The elder man's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head, "We can't afford to spend it." ”

"Don't you want money, don't you see, people are trying to make a name for themselves. Sing for free for three days! Passers-by pointed to the banner.

"That's great!" Both brothers were happy.

……

I don't know how many people were attracted, and came to the front of the City God Temple early, it turned out that a tall stage had been set up here, and the two sides were blocked with wood, marking out the area for watching the play, which was enough to accommodate thousands of people.

The people came one after another, and the stage was a monkey show, with a circle of fancy-dressed monkeys jumping back and forth, under the leadership of the monkey king, constantly turning their heads. Back and forth, so lively.

They danced hard, and soon the atmosphere was stirred, and the wide stands were already crowded with people, including merchants from the north and south, as well as local people, all enjoying the performance with great interest.

The people are almost here, the monkeys go down, and the show finally begins. At this time, there was an old man in his early fifties. With thin eyebrows, a long beard, and a majestic face, he stood up from the tea shed opposite. Looking out towards the front of the temple.

"What kind of drama is this, making it so lively?"

"I don't know, master, I'm going to inquire about it."

After a while, the family ran back. Panting and said: "Master, the crowd is very lively, and the acting seems to be called a white-haired girl!" ”

"What?"

The old man frowned suddenly. He said to himself: "There are three countries singing in this opera, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, the Great Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Yang family generals, when is there this white-haired girl?" It's simply unheard of, don't be a demagogic trick made by the White Lotus Sect bandits! ”

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly came to his senses, he hurriedly greeted the family, and hurriedly squeezed to the square in front of the temple gate, and his family helped him occupy a good position.

At this time, a young scholar dressed as a young scholar and a girl on the stage were singing in duet, and their voices were quite beautiful.

The old man listened carefully, it turned out that these two people were from the same village, childhood sweethearts, the young man promised the girl that as long as he was admitted to the Jinshi, he would come back to marry her, and the girl was a mountain alliance and an oath, never abandoned.

"It turns out that it's still a joke of a talented and beautiful woman, nothing unusual!"

The old man wanted to leave, but the scene changed, the little scholar had already gone to Beijing, and the girl's family suffered a sudden change, the mother was bedridden, and spent all the family's savings in order to treat the disease, the old father had to go to the big family in the village to borrow money, but still failed to save the mother's life, and the old lady died very much in late autumn.

"Hey, people's livelihood is difficult, this play can be regarded as realistic!"

is sighing, another fold, to the cold winter wax moon, the year is approaching, father and daughter depend on each other. The big family rushed to force the debt, and there was nothing left at home for a long time, and the big family suddenly took a fancy to the girl and wanted to use the living person to pay off the debt. also said that he would send the girl to the Yansheng Mansion to enjoy happiness.

All the people who watched the play were stupid, the troupe was crazy, they dared to point directly at the Kong family, don't do it if you want to die!

Some people are anxious, but some people can't help but applaud secretly, that's right, the Kong family bullies men and women like this!

Whether it's looking at each other's excitement or trying to relieve their anger, they're all watching with their eyes on it.

Odo left with people and threatened to take the girl away after three days. The girl told her father about her sworn to the scholar, and she never agreed to go to Kong's house. The old man sighed a lot and didn't want to push his daughter into the fire pit. Immediately sent his daughter away to find a scholar. After sending his daughter away, the old man took a bowl of brine and drank it to suicide, and then burned down the thatched house.

The play was sung here, and the first half was over, and many people were in tears when they saw it. Especially seeing the old man struggling in the fire, it was like it was happening around him!

Everyone was reluctant to leave, for fear of missing the second half.

Even the old man watched it with relish, and asked his subordinates to buy a few big steamed buns, and ate them on the sidelines, and kept chattering.

"Although I haven't gotten rid of the number of talented and beautiful people, I write about a poor peasant family, the people are miserable, and the idea is much higher than that of the West Chamber! I'm afraid that in the second half, it will be a scholar among the scholars, returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and punishing the villains. ”

In everyone's expectation, the second half of the scene began quickly.

Sure enough, according to what the old man said, the girl asked for food all the way to the capital, and it happened that the scholar was admitted to the Jinshi, and the royal street praised the official, and the two sides met, and the scholar never gave up, and took the girl to the house, and took care of the girl, without any contempt.

"Okay, a man's husband should be so affectionate and righteous, and he can't learn from Chen Shimei!"

Then sure enough, it was the scholar who ordered the imperial history, returned to his hometown, and accompanied the girl all the way, first found his hometown, only to see a piece of scorched earth, and after asking, he learned that his father committed suicide.

The scholar immediately swore at the grave that he would avenge his father-in-law. Then he looked for evidence, including big households, and even the Yan Sheng Mansion. After consciously making preparations, a copy of the impeachment note was sent.

The people are waiting for the emperor to issue a decree to punish the evil and promote the good, and then the scholar and the girl will be happy and happy. The imperial court decreed that the scholar should be dismissed from his official position and that the brocade guard lock should be brought into Beijing.

Tortured along the way, the scholar was humiliated and cut his wrist with broken porcelain. The girl quietly followed her husband north along the way, but only to see her husband's pale face, the girl almost went crazy.

At this time, the Kong family sent a family to arrest the girl to the house. The girl was desperate and had no choice but to run into the mountains. Living in a stone cave, living on mountain springs and wild fruits, for three consecutive years, the girl's green silk turned into white hair, her skin was full of wrinkles, and she turned into an old woman.

When she bent down the hill step by step, found the grave of her father and husband, and placed a cluster of wild flowers in front of the grave - in an instant, the whole audience cried and cried.

Almost everyone couldn't help sobbing, and some people scolded, some scolded the faint king, some scolded the Kong family, some scolded the big family, and some scolded the person who wrote the drama!

Why is she so ruthless, a good girl was written as a white-haired old woman, and it was only then that everyone understood why this play was called a white-haired girl!

Don't you give good people a way to live? Isn't opera always the end of a happy reunion, why doesn't anyone come out to help the poor people!

But whatever they may think, at the end of the play, when the girl goes to the grave, she is found by her former neighbors, and she has kept the family secret, and while she weeps bitterly for her father and husband, the evil slave is coming with the eagle dog to tear the poor woman to pieces. The whole play came to an abrupt end here.

There is no reunion, there is no merciful immortal, the whole play makes everyone cry and makes people sad. After singing, even a few young scholars got angry and rushed to the backstage, forcing them to change the drama and the ending.

But they only got a faint question: Why change it, isn't this the case for the people in reality? Who has pitied the people? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but all we see is that the wicked are free, and the good are suffering.

The scholars were overwhelmed by the questioning and stumbled out of the backstage. For three days, more and more people grew day by day, and they were all poor people.

They empathize, looking at the snow-white girl, they can't help but think of the girl who died tragically outside the city a few days ago, and think of the poor people who were still tortured by the Kong family!

"Can the big guy still endure it? If you have bones, follow me to Kong's house and settle accounts with them! Accounts! Accounts! ”

The roar of rage was like thunder, beating against the gloomy earth...... (To be continued......) R1292
