Chapter 140: A Strange Event
It wasn't until he watched the three of them walk out of the theater garden that Zong Jiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest, put his cloak on the crook of his arm and stood up, and walked from the side of the second floor and along the corridor leading to the backstage.
When I came to the backstage near the door, I raised my head and saw the round door with the words "Kong Jiaban" written on it, so I walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to open the curtain, but I happened to walk face to face with a young man who was about to go out. When the young man saw her, he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked,
"This young man, who are you looking for?"
"Oh, this little brother must be from the Kong family's class, Xiaosheng is here to see Boss Kong, may I ask if he is here?"
Zong Jiyuan asked as gently as he could.
The young man hesitated and replied,
"My master, he has some things to deal with now, and he can't see guests for the time being."
"Yes,"
It seems that it is not easy to show his identity and want to see this Boss Kong, Zong Jiyuan pursed his lips and said,
"Then please tell the Venerable Master, just say that the Grandmaster is from the county government, and there are some things to look for him."
"What? The county government came?! ”
The young man's eyes widened at once, and he looked at her quickly, and said,
"Well, please wait a minute......"
Before the words fell, the person was gone.
The young man didn't have a lot of time to go in, and he saw a person coming out of it quickly, seeing that he was about forty years old, with a white and pure square face, his facial features were very delicate, his height and body were also medium, his demeanor was very quiet, and his expression was also very calm, but it was probably because he didn't know why the people from the government suddenly came here, so his eyes were somewhat flustered, and when he saw Zong Jiyuan, he saluted,
"Are you the Grandmaster?"
"It's Xiaosheng,"
The other party's attitude made Zong Jiyuan unexpected, because he was very young, and his appearance was small, so almost everyone who saw her was surprised by her master's identity, but the person in front of him did not behave like this, on the contrary, he was very solemn, so Zong Jiyuan naturally treated him politely,
"Dare to ask if you are the head of this Kong family's class and the boss of Kong?"
"Oh, I don't dare to be, Xiao Ke's surname is Kong, his name is Xiangbin, it's just a mixed meal, how dare you call this 'boss'."
As he spoke, Boss Kong bowed slightly.
Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly and said,
"There's something I want you to know about Xiaosheng, can we go in and talk about it?"
"Oh, look at me, it's so rude, master, please go inside."
Kong Xiangbin smiled embarrassedly and made a "please" gesture.
The two came to the courtyard behind the opera garden, which was specially for these people in the theater troupe, Kong Xiangbin invited Zong Jiyuan to come to the front of the main hall in the backyard, and the guests and hosts sat down, and immediately a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old brought tea.
Zong Jiyuan's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately recognized that this little girl was the "little pink" who rushed to the stage today, and his eyes couldn't help flashing.
Kong Xiangbin immediately noticed it, so he smiled bitterly and said,
"Yan'er, come over and salute the Grandmaster."
"Well, Yan'er has saluted you."
The little girl hurriedly came over and saluted, probably not used to this, and her face was already a little red.
Zong Jiyuan didn't want such a young child to have anything to embarrass him, so he raised his hand slightly, and his expression was natural,
"You don't have to be so polite."
"Actually, this child is my own daughter,"
Kong Xiangbin still smiled bitterly,
"Growing up in such an environment and being forced to go on stage is also difficult for her."
"Oh......"
After observing the other party's expression, Zong Jiyuan felt that this Kong class master seemed to have some misunderstanding, so he said,
"The little girl has just come out and must be a little tired, let's go and rest, Xiaosheng doesn't have to wait here."
"Ah, okay,"
Kong Xiangbin listened to her words, was slightly stunned at first, and then turned his head and said,
"Yan'er, since the master has already said it, then you should go and rest first."
"Yes......"
The little girl saluted again, and her countenance was immediately much lighter, and she turned away.
At this time, there were only two of them left in front of the hall, Zong Jiyuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then asked again,
"Does Boss Kong know Xiaosheng's intention?"
"This、Xiao Ke probably guessed something,"
Seeing that the other party didn't come to beat his daughter's idea at all, Kong Xiangbin immediately knew why this little master came, and sighed very dejectedly, and said,
"It's just that what I don't understand is that I've already told everyone in the team not to tell anyone about it, why do you still know, master?"
"Hmph, after all, we're doing this errand......"
In fact, where would Zong Jiyuan know what the other party was referring to, he just pushed the boat along the river and deliberately said in a leisurely tone, but he was secretly glad in his heart, sure enough, something happened in their troupe, and nine times out of ten it was related to that June Hong. Thinking of this, he stared at Kong Xiangbin,
"Then, please ask Boss Kong to tell Xiaosheng the details."
"Well, it's really weird to mention this......
Kong Xiangbin involuntarily sighed again and said,
"This is going to happen before the first Chinese New Year, it was good, June Hong told me that I didn't want to be on stage again, and when I asked why, the girl refused to say it at first, and then said that someone was staring at her all day, so scared that she couldn't even sleep well at night."
"Oh, this can't be a strange thing, after all, June Hong is also a famous character in Liaodong County, so it's nothing that someone pays attention to, right?"
Hearing him talk about this, Zong Jiyuan said quietly.
Kong Xiangbin nodded lightly, turned his gaze to the ground, and said with a wry smile,
"I thought so at the time, but the girl lost her temper, saying that the one staring at her was not a person at all, but more like a ghost, and no matter where she was, that guy seemed to be there at any time......"
"Really? Sounds really weird,"
This narrative is easy to give people a sense of absurdity, but in Zong Jiyuan's sound, it is not so incredible, but it makes her alert and asks very seriously,
"So, what about after that? What do you think, class leader? ”
"Well, actually, I didn't believe it at the time, I thought she was probably a little tired, so she came up with such a reason to take a break......
Speaking of this, Kong Xiangbin's expression showed a little remorse, and he paused before saying,
"Is my master so bad that he doesn't believe in his own disciples, so that he ...... later?"
"Did something more serious happen later?"
Zong Jiyuan listened, showed great concern, and asked.
