Chapter 53: The Ghost in the Mirror on
This was naturally unacceptable to Li Qing, so she immediately went back and resigned. Then, a real estate agency named after himself was registered. The first batch of houses in her hand is Lin Jinghao's Jinrong Building, and she proposes to divide each room in this building into a small single room and turn it into a school district apartment, so that the rent received in her hand will increase exponentially.
Li Jinghao agreed to her suggestion, and at the same time, used the first year's rent as a renovation fund for the house.
Lin Jinghao doesn't really care about the amount of rent, he just wants the people he knows to be able to live better than him. What's more, this is still the sister of the 'wife' he once loved.
Time flies quickly, and after everything is ready, Lin Jinghao's vacation is almost half. , he began to pack his things and prepare to leave for Qingshan Town to work.
Li Qing was extremely reluctant when she heard that Lin Jinghao was leaving, although she knew that Lin Jinghao was an extremely introverted person, but she didn't expect that he would take care of her sister who was once a 'wife' so much.
"Brother Jing Hao, don't go back. People want to make money to work in other places, and you are not short of money, so why make yourself so hard! ”
Lin Jinghao returned to the place where he had raised himself and lived a quiet and peaceful time. During this time, it was quite happy for him, but when he remembered that he had no relatives here, he always lacked a reason to stay.
"Yes, Jing Hao, don't always live in the shadow of the past and can't get out, isn't everything okay now? You will stay with Li Qing and take care of your family business, and this life will be enough. Limber also joined the persuasion.
"Lin Bo, I've just been doing it for a few months, you can't let me tell people that if you don't do it, you won't do it, people have to have a sense of responsibility." Lin Jinghao didn't know what to say, so he could only find a reason casually.
"Yes, men are all over the world, here is your sister and your uncle to watch, when do you want to come back, call your uncle." For Lin Jinghao's family, Lin Bo is grateful. What's more, he also hopes that their biggest boss here, Lin Jinrong, will one day return to his hometown to invest.
"By the way, do you remember the Huangmei Opera that you liked to pester your uncle to take you to listen to the most when you were a child? Your uncle specially invited you to come to the theater troupe, and tomorrow night in the small theater to perform a performance of "Tianxian Pei", which can be regarded as a farewell to you. In the future, remember that no matter where you go, you must remember to go back to your hometown often. ”
"Is the small theater still there?" Speaking of small theaters, that was Lin Jinghao's favorite place when he was a child. Call Li Xia every day after school, and then sneak into the small theater, at that time it was rare for the village to show a movie, so basically some folks who love opera, gather here to listen to people sing Huangmei Opera. Lin Jinghao's favorite is Dong Yong in "Tianxian Pei", and Li Xia's favorite is the Seven Fairies. That's where they are most carefree and unleashed by their nature.
"Originally, it was going to be demolished, but later the villagers said that it would be kept as a playground for the children, and everyone had something to do with a conference or something, so they stayed."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow night." Lin Jinghao is an old-fashioned person, and when he came back to this hometown in his memory this time, he basically didn't see anything in his memory. Now, in Lin Jinghao's eyes, he is already very interested in seeing a little bit of what is left of the past.
"Brother Jing Hao, I'll go with you tomorrow." At that time, Lin Jinghao remembered that Li Qing was still a child who didn't know anything.
The next day, before it got dark, Lin Jinghao relied on his memory to find the place he often went to when he was a child, the open-air small theater, behind a high-rise building.
It is said to be a small theater, but it is actually a large courtyard in the open air, and then a large platform can be built to shelter from the wind and rain. It can be seen that this courtyard has been repaired, the red brick wall has been painted with white paint, and the iron fence gate of the original yard has also been changed to an aluminum alloy gate.
Pushing open the gate, the yard is still empty, but the original yellow mud ground has been paved with green lawn, and this is a children's amusement park. Directly in front of the stage, there are rows of wooden benches, and on the sides and behind the courtyard, there are fitness equipment for the people. The original dirt stage has been wrapped in white cement, and it looks much higher-grade. The floor of the stage is also inlaid with earthy yellow wooden floors. It's just that, under the wind and rain and the scorching sun, it seems that some of them have lost their original quality and color.
On the right back side of the stage, there are seven stone steps into the backstage dressing room, and the sound of the actor's voice practicing is faintly heard behind it, which is so familiar that it is the classic singing segment in "Tianxian Pei" 'Husband and wife both return home'.
"Brother Jing Hao, do you still know how to sing?" Hearing Lin Jinghao couldn't help but hum along, Li Qing couldn't help but ask. With the development of society, the space left for traditional opera is getting smaller and smaller, and young people rarely go into the theater to listen to operas, not to mention, this is only one of the many local operas.
However, in Lin Jinghao's memory, Huangmei Opera's unique singing voice will always be the best memory of his childhood.
"Jing Hao, you're here early." When Lin Jinghao was listening quietly, Lin Bo's voice came from behind.
"yes, I'm early." As soon as he turned around, Limber walked over with a thermos cup in his hand and a group of 'old people'.
"Today's young people only like to sing, dance and watch movies, where do they still know the fun of listening to dramas." Lin Bo looked at Lin Jinghao and smiled, and it could be seen that in fact, he invited the troupe to come because he had his own 'selfishness'.
"It's okay, I like it." Lin Jinghao replied with a smile.
"It's good to like it, I remember that you should like it, but it's a pity, you're not the little girl Li Xia by your side now, if it's..." As soon as Lin Bo talked about the past, he couldn't stop until he saw Li Qing staring at him.
"Li Qing, don't doze off later." Seeing that the villagers had all gone to find a seat to sit, Lin Jinghao looked at Li Qing and said with a joking smile.
"You're just dozing off." Li Qing pouted and whispered unconvinced.
"Alright, let's find a seat." In the middle of the first row at the front, the old people automatically left three seats for them, Lin Bo sat down unceremoniously, Lin Jinghao looked left and right, and the old people were looking at him.
"Sit, leave them alone, they all grew up together with your father, you don't know them, they all know you." As soon as Lin Bo pulled Lin Jinghao's clothes, Lin Jinghao and Li Qing finally sat down.
It was getting dark, the lights on the stage were on, and it seemed that the show was about to begin.
"Ahh The crowd of people who were talking suddenly fell silent, and from the back of the stage, suddenly a woman's scream of fear came.
With professional sensitivity, Lin Jinghao stood up with a loud voice and stepped onto the stage. The old people under the stage were stunned, they hadn't figured out what the situation was, and they stood up one after another.
"Limber, you watch here, I'll go back and see what's going on?" Lin Jinghao turned around and explained, and then went directly to the backstage.
The backstage lights were dim, and in the long alley, several people in costumes were gathered at the door of the first dressing room, not knowing what was going on inside.
"Excuse me, let it go, I'm a cop." Lin Jinghao shouted habitually, he had long forgotten about himself, and now he was on vacation.
Hearing the police coming, the crowd automatically dodged away. The light in the powder room is obviously much brighter than the corridor outside. On the cold concrete floor, a woman in a costume and another woman with half makeup were lying on one knee, pinching her with her fingers. It can be seen from the dress that the faint woman is the heroine of "Tianxian Pei", the Seven Fairies.
"What's going on?" Lin Jinghao walked into the dressing room, there was no blood on the ground, and there were no scars on the female fairy's body. The interior is very simple, except for two makeup tables and chairs full of cosmetics, there are two mirrors on the wall.
"My sister suddenly fainted." The woman kneeling on the ground raised her head and said.
Lin Jinghao breathed a long sigh of relief, and he was about to step forward to check. The Seven Fairies, who were lying on the ground, suddenly opened their eyes, looked at a mirror on the wall in front of her with a frightened expression, and said to themselves tremblingly: "There are ghosts in that mirror, I see them, there are ghosts in that mirror." ”
Looking at the woman's expression, Lin Jinghao's nerves tensed involuntarily, and he turned his head to look at the mirror on the wall. It's just a simple mirror, and there's nothing special to see in the mirror except for yourself and the people behind you.
"Sister, didn't I tell you, there are no ghosts in the mirror, I don't believe you can take a look for yourself."
The woman crouching on the ground pointed to the mirror and said to the woman in fear.
"Yes, Sister Hui, there are no ghosts in the mirror?" The people in the troupe behind him should also be reconciled.
"No, no, I saw it just now, it's Xiaofu's ghost, he's coming to me."
"Sister, what are you talking nonsense? Look again, what's the ghost in the mirror? "The woman squatting on the ground seems to be about to be driven crazy by the 'Seven Fairies'.
"Look, he's here again." The Seven Fairies, who had just been helped up, pointed to the mirror in fear as soon as they stood up, and screamed loudly.
Lin Jinghao turned his head suddenly, and there really seemed to be a ghost-like shadow in the mirror, and this shadow could be seen from the silhouette, this was a man in a costume. And this costume, shouldn't it be Dong Yong's costume?
"Sister, where is it?" My sister's voice sounded helplessly again. Lin Jinghao looked at it again, and the shadow in the mirror disappeared, leaving only his stunned face...
