Chapter 377: One More Hand
"Okay. ”
Zheng Qilin nodded.
"Which hotel do you stay in, far from here?"
Zheng Qilin then asked.
"It's not far away, it's the Halton Hotel over there, and it's only a few minutes' walk away. You don't have to drive, let's walk over. ”
Xiao Xi continued.
"Okay. ”
Zheng Qilin nodded. In fact, he had the same idea, if he was driving, he would arrive in a few steps, and the two would not have the opportunity to contact each other throughout the whole process, but when they walked over, it was different. In the process of the two walking slowly, they can warm up properly, hold hands and kiss each other, and then it is logical to go a little deeper.
The two walked along the street towards that side, walking very slowly, chatting about the plot of the movie just now, and as they walked, they held hands together.
Walking slower and slower, at this time, suddenly ......
"Whew......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly appeared, and countless fireworks shot into the sky, instantly lighting up half of the sky.
Xiao Xi subconsciously hid behind Zheng Qilin.
Zheng Qilin also stared around vigilantly. In the square in front of us, a stage was set up, and the stage was crowded with people.
"It's okay, it's supposed to be singing over there, and there are fireworks. ”
Zheng Qilin took the opportunity to hug Xiaoxi into his arms and patted his shoulder gently, the two of them maintained an ambiguous posture like this, both of them hesitated and hugged each other tightly.
Both of their hearts began to beat faster.
They looked into each other's eyes, their faces flushed slightly, and their lips were close to each other......
Kissing, in the current broad sense, is defined as the boundary between lovers and ordinary friends.
"Huh, Boss Zheng?"
A woman's voice came suddenly, Zheng Qilin and Xiao Xi hurriedly separated, and looked back over there.
Directly in front, a beautiful woman with long wavy hair wearing a pink and purple short shawl coat and a short yellow velvet knee-length skirt stood in front of them, looking at them with interest.
"Qu Qingqing?"
Zheng Qilin's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized this woman. It was the female anchor of the Heavenly Master who he rescued from that ghost space a while ago. It's been so long, and it's finally here.
"It didn't affect Boss Zheng, you picked up girls. ”
Qu Qingqing had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Uh...... It's okay. ”
Zheng Qilin smiled awkwardly.
"Who is she?"
Xiao Xi on the side frowned.
"She's a friend of mine. ”
Zheng Qilin explained.
"Oh. ”
Xiao Xi didn't ask any more questions.
"Are you done, can you come to work with me?"
Zheng Qilin asked.
"It's almost over. ”
Qu Qingqing nodded.
"That's good. ”
Zheng Qilin took a deep breath, remembered the Liu Yingying who fled arrogantly that night, and muttered in his heart that if you don't catch you this time, you cry dad and call my mother and grandfather, I won't be surnamed Zheng!
"Is it convenient to watch a play together?"
Qu Qingqing blinked.
"Uh, this ......"
Zheng Qilin looked at Xiao Xi next to him.
"You can watch it for a while. ”
Xiao Xi said lightly.
The three of them walked to the square next to the stage.
"Whew...... Bang bang bang ......"
Firecrackers and fireworks gradually become scattered.
Zheng Qilin's eyes fell on the stage, and what was being sung on the stage at this time was a popular local folk opera - Taoism.
"Tonight's repertoire is Li Cuilian's hanging, which is a kind of opera in our local area, called Taoism, can you two understand it?"
Qu Qingqing asked casually.
"Daoqing is a category of traditional Chinese quyi. Originated from the Tang Dynasty's "Chengtian", "Nine Truths" and other Taoist songs. The Southern Song Dynasty began to use fishing drums and tube plates to accompani, so it is also known as the Taoist fishing drum. In the Qing Dynasty, Taoism was combined with folk music from all over the world to form a variety of forms of homology and different currents, such as Taikang Taoism, Hongdong Taoism, etc. Taoism is mostly based on singing, supplemented by speaking. There are sitting singing, standing singing, stand-up, lip-syncing and other performance forms......"
Xiao Xi glanced at Qu Qingqing and said casually.
"Oh......"
Qu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, a little confused, this girl understands so professionally.
"Ahem, she is my cousin from afar, my blind date this time, graduated from Beijing University with a master's degree, and was once the top student in the city college entrance examination. ”
Zheng Qilin introduced it, saving Qu Qingqing from being slapped in the face again.
"Your girlfriend's grade is getting higher and higher...... Then you two know why you set off firecrackers just now?"
Qu Qingqing was not convinced.
"Isn't it normal to sing and set off fireworks? I don't know how to pretend to understand. ”
Zheng Qilin glared.
"This is a traditional custom, and under normal circumstances, fireworks are set off before every singing. ”
Xiao Xi explained calmly.
"Then you don't notice that usually singing is before the beginning or after the singing, but this is when the singing is being sung. ”
The corners of Qu Qingqing's mouth showed a little smile.
"Oh, come to think of it, now this plot is Li Cuilian hanging, setting off fireworks and firecrackers to drive away filth things like lonely souls and wild ghosts, to prevent them from hanging in the opera as real hanging, and then take away the soul of the actor, right?"
Xiao Xi thought about it carefully and said lightly, the champion deserves to be the champion, and he is really good at all aspects.
"I see. ”
Zheng Qilin suddenly realized that it was the first time he had heard of it.
"Did you know that there are already two evil ghosts behind the stage?"
Qu Qingqing pointed in the direction of the stage and smiled.
"It's a bit alarmist, why don't you grab one and we'll take a look?"
Xiao Xi also smiled.
"I know you don't believe it, so let's make a bet, now I just sang that Li Cuilian was going to hang herself, if something really happened next, count me as winning, and if nothing happens, count you as win, what?"
Qu Qingqing thought about it, and the corners of her mouth showed a little smile.
"Yes? If I tell you, this Li Cuilian was created 35 years ago and brought up to the stage, and it has been staged more than 10,000 times so far, but it is said that there has only been one accident in the hanging link, which means that the probability of occurrence is less than 1 in 10,000. Are you sure you want to make such a bet?"
Xiao Xi blinked.
"Before something happens, his probability is zero, and after it happens, it's 100 percent! We bet 10,000 yuan, what?"
Qu Qingqing sneered.
"Deal!"
Xiao Xi responded decisively.
"You're too boring, aren't you......"
Zheng Qilin was speechless.
"Woohoo...... Crackling......"
Firecrackers and fireworks went off again.
The woman who plays Li Cuilian on the stage stepped on a stool, ready to hang herself, a white ribbon pulled into a ring, symbolically placed on a prop wooden frame.
"I just looked at her like this, what a problem. ”
There was a slight sneer on the corner of Xiao Xi's mouth.
"Well, I'd like to see what happened. ”
Zheng Qilin opened the perspective eye. At this moment, two almost transparent figures walked out of it, his brows furrowed, a golden point of light flashed in the center of his eyebrows, and the transparent figure on the stage instantly manifested into an entity.
These are two men dressed in black and white.
