Chapter 45: The Sound of Opera (1)
I smiled and said, "It's time to take it orally, thanks to Brother Zhuang still thinking about me." ”
"What you said can make you call your brother for nothing." As he spoke, Da Zhuang patted me on the shoulder.
"Where did we bake it?" One person looked at Da Zhuang and asked.
Da Zhuang thought for a while and said: "I saw it during the day, there is a small clearing at the entrance of the village, there is still firewood there, and there are not many people who go, we can roast there." ”
I nodded, and the few of us walked towards the place Da Zhuang had said.
On the way, I looked around and wondered, "It's not too late, why can't you see anyone, and don't you four feel very quiet?" ”
After hearing this, Da Zhuang looked around and said, "You really say that, maybe it's because of the little white face, they are all scared and don't dare to come out." ”
"Perhaps." I nodded.
When we walked to the entrance of the village, I saw that the stage where the singing opera was built yesterday had not been demolished and was still there.
A few of us looked at it without stopping, and then walked to the side, and we didn't go far before we came to the place that Da Zhuang said.
There is a small open space on the ground, surrounded by two piles of dry firewood, and this place is quite hidden, it is not easy for others to find, and you can see the platform built at the entrance of the village by bypassing the firewood in it.
"Hurry up." Da Zhuang walked in and said to us.
After that, everyone was busy with their hands, and I went to collect firewood and light the fire, and a few of them cleaned up the hares.
When everything was ready, Da Zhuang sat in front of the fire and turned the hare tied to the branches, and the hare was roasted by the flames, and drops of shiny oil fell from the hare's body.
Looking at the hare in Da Zhuang's hand, I swallowed my saliva, mainly because I didn't eat more when I ate at night, and I didn't eat at all, so now I will swallow saliva when I see a hare, if I don't even look at it in normal times.
"Alright, alright...... Da Zhuang said as he ripped off a rabbit leg and handed it to me, and then distributed the other parts of the hare to everyone.
I took the rabbit leg and was not polite, and ate it in a big gulp, and when I ate it, the meat was too hot, and my mouth was hot.
"Slow down, no one is robbing you." Da Zhuang looked at me and said.
I smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and Da Zhuang glanced at the hare that sat aside after it was extinguished, and the hare was wiped out by a few of us in a short time.
A few people lay comfortably on the ground after eating, and I looked at the night sky and felt quite comfortable at this moment.
"Little brother, who are you looking for?" Da Zhuang asked suddenly.
I thought for a moment and said, "He's ...... He was a distant relative of mine. ”
"Oh." Da Zhuang answered casually after hearing this, and he didn't ask anything after that.
When Da Zhuang asked me like this, I suddenly remembered the sloppy Taoist priest, and I don't know where he is now, if he also thought about me.
"Da Zhuang, it's almost time, let's go back." A man looked at Da Zhuang and said.
"yes, it's not too early, it's time to go back." Da Zhuang glanced around and said.
Then a few of us got up and prepared to go back, but just as we got up, there was a sudden sound of opera singing in the direction of the village.
"Babble...... Yikes......"
I was stunned when I heard this, and then turned my head to look at Da Zhuang and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”
"Did you hear that, too?" Da Zhuang looked at me and asked.
I looked at Da Zhuang and nodded, Da Zhuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked behind the pyre.
But just as Da Zhuang went out, the sound stopped instantly, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
"Did you see anything?" I looked at Da Zhuang and asked.
Da Zhuang observed for a moment and then turned around and said, "Nothing, could it be that we heard it wrong." ”
One of the people next to me looked at Da Zhuang and said, "It's impossible that all five of us heard it wrong, and the five of us heard it just now." ”
"Forget it, go back first, just leave him alone." After saying that, Da Zhuang was ready to go out.
"Babbling ......"
But as soon as Da Zhuang's voice fell, the voice sounded again.
At this time, Da Zhuang's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "That's it...... That's the voice. ”
"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong with you, what's the sound of this?" I looked at Da Zhuang and asked.
"This is the tune that Little White Face sang to me last night, exactly the same, and this voice ...... The sound is exactly the same. Da Zhuang said as he looked at a few of us.
"No...... It's not going to be the little white face coming back. A man stood beside Da Zhuang and said.
My heart tightened when I heard this, I had seen this kind of thing before, and the little white face had just died in the morning, and now as soon as they said that I was immediately scared to death, Da Zhuang and a few of them were no better at this time, and their legs were also trembling at this time.
"I didn't ...... It's okay, let's not go out yet, let's take a look first. Da Zhuang looked at us and said.
A few of us nodded, and poked our heads out again, this time the voice was still the same as last time, and suddenly it disappeared, and everything around us was quiet again.
After a while, Da Zhuang retracted his head again, but Da Zhuang had just retracted his head when the voice actually sounded again.
"Babbling ......"
"Present...... What now? I asked, looking at a few people.
Da Zhuang and the others didn't speak after hearing this, obviously they didn't know what to do at this time, looking at their appearance, I knew that I definitely couldn't point to them.
I strengthened my courage and looked behind the pyre, and this time when I looked in, the sound did not disappear, it still continued.
I tried to look in the direction where the sound came from, and I roughly judged that the place where the sound came from should be on the other side of the stage, but it was so dark that I couldn't see what was on the stage, and the moonlight was obscured by a cloud at this time.
"How...... What do you think? Da Zhuang looked at me and asked.
"The light is too dim to see clearly." I shrank back and looked at Da Zhuang and said.
A person on the side stabilized his mood and said, "Do you think it's really Xiaobaimian coming back, he won't want to take us away." ”
Da Zhuang was no longer so scared at this time, he looked at the person who spoke and said, "Don't scare yourself, why should he look for us when we have no grievances." ”
