Chapters (4) and (7), three 'cups'
Yu Jian Xin patted Luo Xinghe on the back and asked him to stop first so as not to disturb the people sitting in front of the stage, and he himself slipped off Luo Xinghe's back and sat on the bench in the back row, Luo Xinghe stood behind him, guarding him like a bodyguard.
Just as Edgeworth was seated, the play stopped abruptly, and the open space around the stage was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard whistling by.
After the silence lasted for a long time, Edgeworth was in no hurry to break the deadlock, still sitting on the bench in the back row, but the person sitting at the square table suddenly reached out and tapped the teacup with the lid.
The sound of musical instruments on the stage started, and several actors dressed in costumes and makeup poured out from the backstage, and the full costumes were several grades more luxurious than the two who were originally singing on the stage, and their appearance on the stage drove the original two off the stage.
Without the two of them, except for the accompaniment of the three-stringed gongs and drums, no one made a sound, and all the actors only moved without making a sound, which made the stage extremely weird, as if a group of ghosts were singing among the accompaniment.
Suddenly, a crisp knocking sound pierced the noisy musical instruments on the stage, and the aftermath of the knocking sound shook Edgeworth's heart instantly ringing in his ears, he unconsciously lowered his head and shook his head to keep himself awake, and when he looked up again, the benches around him were full of people, they were crowded one by one, five people barely sat on a bench, and there were at least thirty or forty people sitting on the ground without chairs to squeeze.
Among them, there are ordinary villagers, there are also pampered young masters who are so richly dressed and expensive that they are rich and noble at first glance, with rich bodies and tender faces, and there are many people who wear seven or eight rings on one hand, and there are even down-and-out beggars who are so downtrod that they are not clothed, and their feet and hands are full of calluses and chilblains; There are also ordinary small traders selling melon seeds and peanuts around the bench array, except for the wandering vendors, everyone looks at the stage with blank faces and blank eyes.
The sound of musical instruments on the stage continued, and there were already martial artists who had come out to turn their heels, and six or seven children of about one meter were turning their heels in unison on the stage, five, ten, fifteen, twenty...... The faster and faster the sound of the instruments, the more fierce and fierce they flipped over, and after at least fifty heels per person, the audience under the stage was boiling.
Everyone applauded silently, and some even jumped up from the stool happily and threw things on the stage excitedly, and the most outrageous thing was that some people took off their clothes and wrapped them in gold and silver, and threw them on the stage shirtless, which made Edgeworth embarrassed, and once suspected that they were stupid in the Yin Si after death, and it was rare to be released to be so presumptuous.
Suddenly, there was another knocking on the cup, and out of the darkness not far away came a thin young man with a hand-made bamboo teapot cover, a white porcelain teapot with a towel on his shoulder, and a smile on his face when he walked.
This young man looks very ordinary, and he has no memory points for his very popular appearance, but the smile on his face is a little too fake, and the flattery revealed when he adds tea and pours water looks boring.
After the division of a pot of tea, he silently withdrew, but at a moment of turning, he immediately restrained the smile on his face and pouted on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm.
Immediately afterwards, all the people present who had drunk tea slipped from their chairs to the ground, covering their abdomen and convulsing in pain, until they foamed at the mouth and turned into corpses, and the rest of the people did not react much, still staring at the stage with dull eyes, not caring whether there were any living people around them.
Suddenly, the sound of the cup clattered again, and the two plain singers who were driven away came back with torches, and they waved their torches, and the stage was burned in a moment, and the sound of the musical instruments on the stage did not stop, and the actors on the stage were all engaged in the performance of the fire, and finally were burned to carbonization, and then dragged the severed limbs and stumps to the ground and turned into ashes.
The stage was miserable, and the audience watched coldly, even if there was a scene like poisoning and burning, which was like purgatory on earth, the remaining audience on the benches were all indifferent, as if they were accustomed to waiting for this 'farce' to end.
Edgeworth no longer waited, and stood up from the bench, and someone immediately sat down in the place where he had just been sitting, and Edgeworth turned around to see the person who was filling the seat looking at the stage with a dull expression, and there was no unusual behavior, just a simple sitting.
"Where are you going?"
Luo Xinghe saw that Yu Jian Xin got up and looked back, thinking that he was looking for him, and immediately stepped forward to ask him about his dynamics, Yu Jian Xin waved his hand to stop Luo Xinghe from following, and pointed to the square table in the front row, meaning that he wanted to sit at the table.
He shook off Luo Xinghe and walked to the right side of the table and sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup on the table and shook it, there was no tea in it, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the cup knocker across the table, the other party was also looking at Yu Kenxin, and Yu Ken Xin immediately Nunu gestured to him that there was no water in his cup and begged for a cup of tea.
The cup knocker across the table handed out his cup and exchanged it with the teacup in front of Mikenkoin, who was not polite and lifted the lid and knocked it on the cup with his hand.
With the crisp sound of clinking porcelain, everything vanished, the stage returned to calm, the fire was extinguished instantly, and the people on the benches also disappeared with the light, and the heart of Edgeworth only felt that the whole person fell backwards under his buttocks, for the sake of face, he tried to stand firm and not let himself fall, but he asked Orange's figure to be a little fat, he still fell to the ground after holding on for half a minute, and the tail vertebrae of the fall hurt.
"Senior, are you alright?"
Luo Xinghe saw everything in front of him disappear, and immediately thought that with the weight of Wen Cheng, Yu Kenxin would definitely fall while sitting on the chair, and he immediately ran from the last row of the bench to the first row, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and Yu Kenxin had already fallen to the ground.
"Do you think the deity looks like something? Find a place to stay, or you'll have to sleep on the stage tonight. ”
Edgeworth's heart held the ground with his sword, and struggled to get up from the ground, shouting at Luo Xinghe to hide the more pain he had suffered from because of Orange's death.
"I'll take my seniors to find a place to stay, I'm not at ease if you're here alone."
Luo Xinghe said that he took the initiative to squat down with his back to Yu Kenxin, wanting to go to the homestay with him behind his back.
Yu Jian Xin raised his foot and kicked Luo Xinghe in the back and scolded, "Get out of here!" Find a good place to pick up the deity again, and the deity is here to travel and see a different scenery after the ghost show is over. ”
Luo Xinghe originally thought that Yu Kenxin's combat effectiveness would decline because of a sprained foot, but his kick was enough to prove that he had nothing to do, and he was self-inflicted, so after Luo Xinghe got up from the ground, he left without looking back.
