59. Tianmen three-stick drum
This little hairy child was so mysterious that even the curiosity of Li Jing's brothers and sisters was raised, and all their attention was turned around.
"My sister is a maid in the house, you know this, right? So I learned a very important secret. Again, it's absolutely a secret. ”
"Don't go around in circles, just say it."
"Do you know where Manager Yu went some time ago?"
"Cut. Who doesn't know, go pick up the eldest master of the Yu family. ”
"Hehe, you don't know that, do you? It's just a pretense to pick up the big man. ”
"Huh? What else? ”
"Manager Yu is going on a blind date!"
"Huh? Who are you going to go on a blind date? Shouldn't he be with the Qin class master? ”
"Then I'll tell you, even Manager Yu himself doesn't know about this. Coincidentally, it is said that Princess Changyang happened to be in Jingzhou. On that day, it happened that the manager was seen by Princess Changyang when he entered the city. That's it...... Something bad. ”
"How? Say it. ”
"Think about it, our manager is rich, handsome, and so capable, where can I find such an excellent man? So, this Changyang princess took a fancy to our manager at a glance. ”
……
Li Mening almost fell off his chair.
Rich? Just a few copper plates in his house! Handsome? Crickets of crickets! Competent? What else can you do but have a bad mouth!
Or did my Princess Changyang take a fancy to him at a glance? I'm blind, I'm blind! Fork your three mother's frog legs!
What made her even more angry was that the imperial brother Li Jing actually held back his laughter and nodded frequently there.
The bears continued the discussion.
"I also heard that the princess has already told the emperor about this."
"Huh? The emperor agreed? ”
"Nonsense! Can you not agree? A good son-in-law like our manager Yu, how can I find a second one. The emperor said that as soon as the new year begins, he will call Manager Yu to the capital to marry Princess Changyang. ”
"This is a good thing, our Luofeng Town is going to produce a concubine!"
"What's good? He went to be a colt, who will take over the work for the Qin family? ”
"That's it. I think Manager Yu and Class Master Qin are a natural pair. ”
"I think so too. You said that although Princess Changyang is a princess, she is not necessarily more handsome than the Qin class master. ”
"You can get rid of the word "see". It's definitely not as good-looking as the Qin class master. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, can you compare? The Qin class master is a flower in our Luofeng Town. What kind of princess is that, I heard it's a hemp face. ”
"Yes, yes, I've heard that, too. The princess had a hooked nose and a crooked mouth. ”
"What's more? Some people who have seen it say that it is still a triangular hanging eye. ”
……
Li Moning's silver teeth were about to be crushed.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jing hurriedly dragged Li Moning away from this place of right and wrong. I found a table full of aunts, and two empty tables to sit down.
If you don't know, you don't know, at least you can be clean.
The problem is that they haven't taken a sip of tea yet, and the topic of the aunts has also come to the matter of "Yu Da Shao recruiting horses".
The combat effectiveness of middle-aged and elderly women is completely multiplied by an order of magnitude of geometry compared to that group of rabbits.
Because he was worried that his sister would be angry to death and that it would be difficult to deal with his father, Li Jing hurriedly pulled her to change the table.
Thankfully, the big man at the table wasn't that interested in gossip.
They are talking about how much money they have made this year, and how much money they will be able to make next year if they continue like this.
All in all, it is to lift Qin Xiaoluan and Yu Qizheng to the sky.
The wine and food came up, and Li Jing ate and drank again.
Unlike the previous few days, although the food tasted good, Li Moning didn't eat much - he was really full.
The Spring Festival Gala of the Qin family class officially began.
A high-pitched suona sound suppressed all the sounds on the scene.
Su Xi'er walked out in a bright red dress, followed by a boy about the same age as Su Xi'er.
Everyone knows this boy, his name is Liu Xiaocheng. He is Su Xiao's apprentice and the earliest employee of the Qin family's class, and now he has been promoted to team leader.
Su Xi'er: Uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts
Liu Xiaocheng: Big brothers, sisters-in-law, little brothers and sisters
He: Good evening, everyone!
There was a wave of cheers, whistles, and cheers from the audience.
Su Xi'er: The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and the red plums welcome the new year
Liu Xiaocheng: Happily send the rat, the dragon and the tiger leap to catch the ugly cow
Su Xi'er: The lanterns shine with the fireworks
Liu Xiaocheng: Singing and laughter fill my ears
Su Xi'er: Now we are already feeling the breath of the year. This is our New Year, this is our Qin family class to celebrate the harvest and gather together on Chinese New Year's Eve. I'm the host of tonight's show, Su Xi'er.
Liu Xiaocheng: I'm the host Liu Xiaocheng.
Su Xi'er: Qinjiaban Spring Festival Gala
He: It's officially started!
The applause from the audience became louder.
The two retired from the stage after the curtain was over.
A group of colorful dragon boats, ugly matchmakers, river mussel spirits, bench monsters and the like with local characteristics danced on the stage, which immediately ignited the atmosphere on the field.
The Li Jing brothers and sisters in the capital, who grew up since childhood, have never seen this kind of performance with the characteristics of a water town, which is a feast for the eyes.
Then there is the opera "The Little Son-in-law".
"Ya Que drove a few uh, and the old owl called a few uh. How long is someone's son-in-law, and my son-in-law has a low card ......"
This is a popular opera in Hong Kong. In the voice of a married woman, singing a joke in dialect.
It tells the story of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who marries a little son-in-law who is much younger than her.
Whether it is the plot such as the little son-in-law's bedwetting, or the tune of the song itself, as well as the posture and movements of the performers, they are all very cheerful and witty, which makes the audience laugh.
However, it was bitter for Li Jing's brothers and sisters. Because it was very difficult for them to listen to the dialect here, not to mention that this opera was deliberately selected in local slang, so naturally they couldn't understand a word at all.
However, in the environment where everyone around me is leaning forward and backward with laughter, I can't understand it, and it feels like I'm an idiot.
Fortunately, when it came to the second paragraph, an eldest brother at the same table explained to them while laughing, and the brother and sister also laughed until their eyes rained after they understood the meaning.
Next came shadow puppet shows, flower drum shows and other wonderful programs, and the audience's applause broke their throats.
And the Li Jing brothers and sisters have long forgotten the time. Li Moning's little hands were swollen.
The time of joy passed very quickly, and the footsteps of the "year" were getting closer and closer, and it was already close to midnight.
Su Xi'er walked on stage: "Please enjoy the three-stick drum performance brought by Hu Bufan and others from the construction team, garment factory, quarry, brick kiln and others." ”
The audience reached its highest level of voice.
The three-stick drum is the most distinctive form of local performance, which integrates various elements such as acrobatics, quyi, and martial arts.
The performer has a small drum hanging from his chest, and in his hand there are three sharp knives with the handle of a drumstick, which are constantly being thrown into the air in a loop.
The handles of the three knives are drumsticks, and they fall on the drum in turn to beat the small drum.
While beating the drums, the performers also have to dance and sing along with the rhythm.
If the blade hits the drum first, the drum skin will be punctured, and the performance will fail.
Similarly, if you don't place your hand on the drum to get the knife in the right place, you will get cut.
So in addition to being difficult, this performance is also more tense and exciting.
The problem is that not one or two people took the stage to perform this show, but a dozen!
Li Moning saw that his hands were clenched into fists, and he covered his eyes from time to time when he went to the thrilling place, but he couldn't help but peek through his fingers.
Li Jing couldn't help but wonder in his heart: The people who had already heard the introduction of tonight's performance were all employees of the Qin family's class. These people are all skilled people, so why should they be craftsmen?
At this time, he observed the audience around him, and they all had very strange expressions. It seems to be very sad. Others still have tears in their eyes.
Li Jing is very strange, it is obviously such a wonderful show, how could they be like this? So I asked the big brother who translated just now.
The eldest brother also had a sad look on his face, so he told it.
This Tianmen is located in the Jianghan Plain, which is a first-class rich land. However, it is a low-lying area, and it has been flooded for many years.
When encountering floods, they can only drag their families and go out to survive.
But there is a pride in the bones of the people here, even if they go out to beg in difficulty, they must rely on their own ability to exchange something for the charity of others, so as to show that they are different from beggars.
Then there was the three-stick drum. Relying on this to give myself a psychological comfort, I went out to perform because of the disaster in my hometown, not to be lazy and beg. That's why every family here plays a three-stick drum so that they can use it if they have to go out one day.
What they sang on the stage, that is, the song when they went out to beg: Shahu and Yang Prefecture, ten years and nine years will not be collected. Carrying three drums on his back, he wandered to all directions. The drums are clattering, the gongs are clattering, and the tears are in their eyes, so as not to make people break their bowels.
This song is the song that broke everyone's guts in this place.
After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, Li Jing was silent.
He suddenly thought of one thing, and saw a piece of music with the words "Flood in X Place" written on it in the court, just a piece of paper. In the history books of the future, it will not be written in a big way. But what kind of suffering is it for the people in it?! This is something that the superior and future generations will never be able to experience.
"Yo~~~Roar~~~" The performers on the stage shouted in unison.
Then the original scattered formation stood in a row in front of the stage, leaving only an empty seat in the middle.
A middle-aged man walked out playing a three-stick drum.
The audience under the "roaring ......" reached the highest peak.
Li Jing's brothers and sisters know that what comes out now must be the pillar named Hu Bufan introduced by the supporters.
The drum on Hu Bufan's chest was obviously bigger than the others. Not only that, but the knife he uses is different from the others.
Everyone else used a straight knife, but what Hu Bufan used was actually a right-angled scimitar!
In other words, it is equivalent to two knives joining together at an angle of 90 degrees, and only the joint is a drumstick.
As a result, it is much more difficult to beat the drum and catch the knife.
Li Jing's brothers and sisters thought to themselves: The pillar is the pillar, and the skills are really more exquisite.
"Ding!" There was a crisp sound from the stage.
Two flying knives in the air struck together, colliding with sparks.
Li Jing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "People have misses and horses have stumbled", in the previous performances, there had never been such a violent collision of flying knives in the air, it seems that Hu Bufan should have missed. Of course, this is normal.
But at this moment, the audience shook the sky and cheered.
The two sharp knives collided in the air and burst into sparks, and immediately both knives burst into flames at the same time!
It turned out that there were ignitions such as phosphate stones attached to the body of the knife, and all the sparks ignited.
The third knife flew into the air and penetrated through the gap between the first two knives, immediately burning all over its body.
Then, three fire knives flew up and down. Because of the speed, the flames were connected into a line, and from a distance, it looked like a fire dragon rolling up and down.
However, the rhythm of the drums never stopped for a moment.
All the performers on stage began to shout in unison: "Hey, hey, hey!" ”
The audience in the audience was also all infected, and they all raised their arms to the rhythm and said "hey, hey, hey" in unison - even Li Jing and Li Mening were no exception.
"Knock knock!"
The neat drum sounded, and everyone's knives except Hu Bufan slapped horizontally on the drum, which should have stopped the performance.
At this time, Hu Bufan's three fire knives flew into the air at the same time, twice the height of the previous flight.
Everyone held their breath. As you all know, this is the last step.
When the three fire knives fell, Hu Bufan slapped them horizontally on the drum surface, and the whole performance was over.
Time seemed to slow down a lot, and it felt like the three fire knives in my eyes were falling at a very, very slow speed.
"Poof, poof, poof!"
Several dull noises were heard, and all the audience was shocked.
The three right angles were pierced into the drum on Hu Bufan's chest.
Everyone had a look of regret on their faces, and they couldn't imagine that they had missed at the last level.
The whole scene was silent.
"Hahahahaha," Hu Bufan laughed wildly.
Even the people who performed together on stage panicked, Hu Bufan shouldn't have been stimulated by this, what was wrong with his brain?
Several performers hurriedly stepped forward to help Hu Bufan.
Hu Bufan pushed them away, hung three pairs of drums on his chest, and walked to the front of the stage: "Folks, I, Hu Bufan, have a few words to say today. ”
The audience looked at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts: what the hell is going on?
Hu Bufan clasped his hands into fists and then said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, three knives and broken drums." I, Hu Bufan, will never move the three drums again in this life. ”
encountered such an accident, and the people on and off the stage didn't know what to say.
Hu Bufan laughed wildly for a while and then continued: "Because my Hu Bufan will never go out to beg for food again!" From now on, following the Qin family's class construction team, I, Hu Bufan, no longer need to go out to beg for food! ”
"Ahh The screams from the audience came and went.
"Puff puff puff!" The actors on the stage picked up the sharp knives that lay flat on the drum surface and stabbed them into the drum again: "No more three drums!" ”
"No more fighting! No more fighting! No more fighting! ”
From the eighty-year-old man to the child who could just speak, everyone shouted in unison.
Two lines of crystal tears flowed down everyone's faces.
The two hosts came out together to announce the curtain: "Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the ...... next"
There was an uproar in the audience.
Everyone thinks that the Three Stick Drum is sure to be the last finale. It is impossible to have a show to squeeze out the position of the three drums! No way!
Many people have already started to scold, some people applaud, and many more are just boosing.
