As soon as the play was finished, Liao Caichen and Yu Chunhua left in a hurry, carrying a few heavy ingots of silver with them.

"You didn't sing as well in the second half as you did in the first." Walking to the door of Qiu's house, seeing the little maid who saw them off and returned to the courtyard, Yu Chunhua muttered to Liao Caichen in a low voice, and after thinking about it, his heart relaxed a little, because Qiu Ran did not send them out in person, obviously not satisfied with Liao Caichen's interpretation.

"That's fine, he broke off his mind about you, and I have a lot of peace in my heart." He smiled, but found that Liao Caichen beside him had not spoken, so he asked him again, "What's wrong?" An absent-minded look, like this from the second half. ”

"I just saw something unclean." Liao Caichen smiled, his voice trembled a little, he raised his eyes to look at the Xiaoxiao bamboo forest in front of him, and whispered, "This wilderness is really not a place to stay for a long time, class master, let's leave quickly." ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Chunhua suddenly felt a chill in his heart, so he tightened his sleeves without saying a word, and the two of them hurriedly walked forward. But when he was about to take a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest, and without looking at them, he went straight to the front of the house and knocked on the door, and the sound was as loud as a drum.

Yu Chunhua only felt that the figure was a little familiar, and when he wanted to look back, he was pulled away by Liao Caichen.

"It's Song Huan." Liao Caichen lowered his voice, and Yu Chunhua struggled to hear it clearly.

"Aren't you looking for him, it's not right."

Liao Caichen patted him on the shoulder, "Are you always confused?" I got into trouble with him here, didn't Gongzi Qiu know my identity, and Song Huan only owed me a few dollars, wouldn't it be a big loss? ”

Yu Chunhua nodded frequently, "Yes, I just don't know what Song Huan is doing here?" How could he know Qiu Gongzi, they don't look like people all the way at all. ”

"Leave him alone, let's get back quickly, it's getting dark."

Liao Caichen looked at the sky above the bamboo forest, and he saw several crows flying in the direction of the Qiu Mansion, making a terrible "quack" sound, and after a while, they disappeared into the bleak courtyard without a trace of light.

***

For the next few days, Qiu Ran did not come. Yu Chunhua sometimes inevitably wonders if Liao Caichen's poor performance in the second half offended him, or whether Song Huan told him that Liao Caichen is not a daughter at all.

But thinking about it, he was really down-to-earth in his heart, he was afraid that Qiu Ran would really be moved by Liao Caichen and have the idea of marrying, so he, the head of the class, really didn't know how to deal with it.

But a wave of square peace rose again and again: after Liao Caichen took the silver given by Qiu Ran, he went to the gambling house overnight. This time, he didn't go back to the tea garden for several days, and he couldn't be called back when he sent someone to find him. But the tickets were sold early, and Yu Chunhua had to temporarily find someone to replace him, but even so, there were still audiences who were dissatisfied, some wanted to refund the tickets, and some drank too much to make trouble, which made Yu Chunhua anxious every day, and the evil fire was heartfelt.

On this day, he really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and decided to go to the gambling house to call Liao Caichen back in person. He made up his mind, whether it was beating, scolding, or tying up this time, he would bring Liao Caichen back, otherwise, he would not have to be the class leader.

But as soon as he walked outside the tea garden, he saw that Liao Caichen had already come back by himself, he was squatting under the wall, holding a piece of hay and pulling on the ground, his stomach seemed to be full of thoughts.

His lonely appearance calmed down the anger that Yu Chunhua had been accumulating for a long time, so he walked over and said to Liao Caichen, "Do you still know to come back?" Remember when you were from the tea plantation? ”

Hearing Yu Chunhua's voice, Liao Caichen raised his head, but as soon as he saw his face, Yu Chunhua was startled, his expression froze, his mouth was slightly open, and he only stared at his swollen and bruised face without moving.

"Who...... Who beat you like this? It took a long time for Yu Chunhua to stammer.

Liao Caichen cried, tears swirling in his swollen eye sockets, which lasted for a long time before slowly falling.

"Class master, I lost, I lost all my money, and I owe a lot of money. They said, "If I don't pay it in three days, they will come and take my life." ”

Hearing this, Yu Chunhua was so angry that he stomped his feet, he knew that Liao Caichen was not angry, but he didn't expect that he would be confused to this point, not only lost the silver given by Qiu Ran, but also owed a larger amount of gambling debts.

But looking at Liao Caichen's current pitiful appearance of being injured, he couldn't bear to criticize him too harshly, for fear that he would not be able to think about it and do something even more irreparable. So, Yu Chunhua could only persuade him with good words, first stabilized Liao Caichen's mind, and gave him a few taels of silver, and asked him to go to the hospital to see the injury, after all, face is the most important thing in their business.

After Liao Caichen left, Yu Chunhua lit a dry cigarette, sat on the threshold and smoked, sighing while smoking. He is a little different from Liao Caichen and others: although Liao Caichen is not qualitative, he is not serious about his work, and he is a fool all day long, but his talent for singing is extremely high. Yu Chunhua has been in this industry for decades, and you can see at a glance that he is a rare good seedling. Another point is that Liao Caichen's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to his son who died early, so Yu Chunhua sometimes looks at him as if he sees the child he misses every day.

In the face of such a person, he inevitably felt pity, and his discipline was inevitably less strict than that of others. He often thinks that Liao Caichen has become what he is today, and he, the head of the class, may have an unshirkable responsibility.

Just as he was secretly sad, Mu Cripple walked out of the back room, glanced at his face, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, brother, is there anything bothering?" Or is it because of the boy surnamed Liao? After speaking, seeing that Yu Chunhua was silent, he continued, "I'm leaving today, if you don't say it, no one will listen to you in the future." ”

Yu Chunhua sighed deeply, "This kid is not angry, I think he can't get through this difficulty this time, he owes so much money, I'm afraid he can't stay in Qingzhou City." ”

"Lost again?" Mu lame sat down next to Yu Chunhua, "I'll just say, everything depends on luck, I was born with no financial luck, and I have to go to the casino, don't I want to accompany a bankrupt family?" ”

"What can I do, I don't listen to what I say. Brother, what do you think I should do? I've always been a little selfish about this kid, he looks a little like the big nephew you went to earlier, he ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Chunhua paused, because he saw that Mu Cripple was not listening to him at all, but opened his mouth slightly and looked at the root of the wall opposite.

There was a person standing there, not tall, but his face was clean and delicate, who would it be if it wasn't Qiu Ran.
