Because of the large number of people, Xu Man went to the open space in the backyard to sing drums and books, there was a leafy old locust tree in the backyard, the branches stretched, the leaves fell in autumn, and the branches were not broken in the spring, and now after the early spring, the old locust tree has already shaded half of this yard into its shade through his branches and leaves.

Xu Man stood in this scarce light and shadow, and the irregular points of light fell on her clothes, hair, face, and drums, covering up her original haggard to the point of lining off the softness that a woman should have, which looked very dreamy.

Xu Ruliang also fiddled with the three strings on the side, nodded at Xu Man, Xu Man turned his head and tried to make the maximum voice he could: "Today I will sing a piece of "The Legend of the West Chamber" to everyone."

"Huh? Shi Niang sang "West Chamber", a few apprentices who have a certain understanding of the drum book responded, you must know that in the drum book, the text is afraid of "West Chamber", the martial arts are afraid of "Intercepting the River", and the half-literary and half-martial arts are afraid of "Judging the Head Thorn Soup".

This is the same reason that the men in their Beijing opera are afraid of "Night Run" and the women are afraid of "Sifan", as soon as their master came up, they ordered this difficult song to challenge themselves, which really made these little apprentices scratch their heads for her, and some even worriedly said: "Master, this escape, why don't we change to another one."

just blurted out, who knew that Zhang Shangzhi on the side couldn't stop, he clenched his hands and waved them into fists and said viciously: "If you want to listen, listen to me honestly, don't say that those who have or don't sweep my second aunt's fun, you say one more sentence and be careful that I will beat you."

Zhang Shangzhi had a temper, but it was terrible and difficult to provoke, they subconsciously glanced at Xu Ruliang again, only to see that Xu Ruliang had already clenched the three strings and was ready to mess around with Zhang Shangzhi at any time.

This senior brother is even more difficult to provoke, and a few people are afraid that one more sentence will make Zhang Shangzhi unhappy, and it is even more difficult to end by calling the master one after another, so they have to shut their mouths stupidly.

The audience was silent, giving Xu Man at least respect, only to see Xu Man holding the drum and looking at the red drum skin with rhythm and beating a few times, and opened his voice to sing.

If you want to say that Xu Man's voice is still a native of the Jiangnan generation, although he has studied the drum book for a few years, it still has some taste of learning and selling, because the drum book comes from Beiping, or it is to sing an accent of Beijing films, this accent is the essence of the drum book, and the lack of things is like the drum book without a soul, and it is useless to be stunned.

The few apprentices who reacted just now, listening to Xu Man sing half of it, were really tired because she didn't have the taste under the overpass, although Xu Man had used all his strength to sing hard, but there was nothing to do about them.

And the rest of them are listening with interest, and they feel that their master is very powerful, and then their master's big drum book is nostalgic for the time in Beiping, and the whole heart beats one after another with Xu Man's singing and speed.

Waiting for Xu Man to finish the last beat on the drum, at the end of the day, they hadn't reacted, Xu Man finished beating, and took a step back and bowed to them politely.

They didn't dare to get up one after another, and they also thought that Xu Man raised a bow, just like the students who stood up and saluted during the school class. After gathering and bowing, they reacted, and the big drum book was sung by Xu Man, so they looked at each other and applauded ambiguously.

In this applause, Xu Man exhaled a big breath, his face turned red, and then turned a little white. The singing drum book had used up all the strength in her body, but she stumbled and didn't stand firmly, and her entire center of gravity had fallen steadily. But fortunately, the rattan chair beside her had caught her steadily.

Shen Yeling also walked over with a sound, and everyone also looked at him, and after saying goodbye to the master, they retreated, leaving Xu Man and Xiao Lin, as well as Xu Ruliang who was holding the three strings.

Xu Man raised her tired eyes, she wanted to greet her with a smile, but unfortunately the smile turned into a bitter smile, her whole face had begun to turn white and out of shape, and the whole person seemed to have experienced some kind of wind and waves before she was tired.

Shen Yeling was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xu Man's hand left in mid-air, his eyebrows furrowed and he said with concern: "What's the matter, singing a big drum is weak like this?" Don't sing yet, it's not too late to sing again when you're rested."

Xu Man nodded, and now her lips were so white that she was spitting out words, only to feel that she was talking word by word intermittently, more tired than others climbing the mountain, and only heard her say: "The shoes for Miss Luo are ready, I have to bother Erlang to send them over to see if they fit."

When Xu Man finished saying the last word, he closed his eyes as if he was relieved, as if he was about to leave after explaining his last words, Shen Yeling was so frightened that he hurriedly tested her snort, but fortunately he was too tired to fall asleep.

He called Xu Ruliang and Xiao Lin to help Xu Man in, and then followed in and took a pair of shoes she had prepared for Luo Xiaoqi, and left without any delay.

At the same time, a few hours ago, at Luo's house, Luo Xiaoqi stayed in her room reading a telegram from her distant bandit friend. The telegram wrote about the little company commander, and she would release him for the sake of the situation, but she was obviously incapable of helping Peng Shirong in this matter.

Their bandit den is intricate, and the relationship is even more untidy and chaotic, in short, Peng Shirong's matter can't be closed by her bandit friends, and it needs to be delayed for two days.

And in the past two days, her bandit friend has also come to Xunyang to have fun, and she also explained the time, hoping that Luo Xiaoqi will come to greet her as the host.

Luo Xiaoqi put down the telegram, threw it to the ground casually, and snorted: "Delay it for two days, you can kill it directly."

Luo Xiaoqi didn't care about the last message that the bandit friend was going to visit at this time, and he was serious about killing Peng Shirong and the difficult guy as soon as possible.

In a trance, he also clenched his teeth and made a 'creaking' sound, Cheng Jiabai rarely smiled today, and walked mysteriously to the door of Luo Xiaoqi's room.

I saw that the door was open, and I didn't walk in cautiously, and then stood outside the door, leaned down slightly and shouted to Luo Xiaoqi, who was sitting in the inner room and worried, in an extremely brisk tone: "Sister."

Luo Xiaoqi slowly raised his head before answering him, but he still didn't have a good face: "What's the matter?"

With Luo Xiaoqi's strange acquiescence, he dared to walk in, and then stopped after taking a few steps away from Luo Xiaoqi, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he turned his hands forward with his hands pinned behind his back, and presented the treasures in his hands in front of Luo Xiaoqi together.

It was a box of platinum cardboard with a string of unintelligible foreign characters written on it.

Luo Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that Cheng Jiabai had just come back from abroad to give this kind of thing, but from the time he went home to the present, Cheng Jiabai gave it once in a few days, as if he was afraid that Luo Xiaoqi would have nothing.

Seeing that Luo Xiaoqi didn't react much, he began to introduce the contents of the box: "When I went to the class reunion, a male classmate who was good with me asked me to go to his house as a guest, and he introduced his family to me, and when I smelled the perfume on his sister's body, I felt good, so I wanted to buy you a bottle." I cheekily asked my classmate about the origin of his sister's perfume, and he said that he would send me a bottle in a few days, so I waited until now to get the perfume, sister, do you want to try it."

Only when giving a gift, Cheng Jiabai will take the initiative to say so many words, telling the ins and outs of this gift thoroughly, as if he was afraid of misunderstanding something.

He opened the box, took out a purple crystal bottle from it, looked at Luo Xiaoqi blankly, and motioned to give her a try to get her cooperation.

Luo Xiaoqi looked at Cheng Jiabai pitifully holding the perfume to himself for a long time, and then pulled down his serious face and forced himself to show a gentle face like a mother, but there was helplessness in his expression.

stretched out his hand, only allowed him to try it on his hand: "What do I say is that if you have milk, you are a mother, I will provide you with food and clothing, you use these to be filial to me, and you really didn't raise you in vain."

Cheng Jiabai took out the tube in the perfume and carefully wiped it on Luo Xiaoqi's hand twice, which were enough for him to estimate the perfume to the millimeter, for fear that the perfume would not smell if it was smeared less, and it would be pungent if it was smeared too much.

Luo Xiaoqi raised his hand and sniffed it twice to his nose, only to feel that the fragrance of roses slowly penetrated into his nose, which was an acceptable taste.

So he put his hand down and nodded slightly. Cheng Jiabai's originally nervous heart finally showed a smile from his face with Luo Xiaoqi's head.

To be honest, after Shen Yeling came back, Luo Xiaoqi didn't expect a smile anymore, but she faintly felt that this kid looked the best when she smiled, and she liked it in her heart.

Seeing that Cheng Jiabai finished giving the gift, he respectfully took the perfume back into the box, put his hands on the table next to Luo Xiaoqi, and was about to say to her that if he didn't have anything to tell him, he would leave.

I didn't know that Luo Xiaoqi really had something to say, but I saw her pat the handrail of her wheelchair: "Go, go with me to the Drunken Immortal Building and ask Zhang San."

"What to ask", Cheng Jiabai just wanted to blurt out this sentence, but he was suffocated back, and there was always an alarm bell in his heart of 'Sister Don't ask' to remind him, he struggled in his heart, and replied simply: "Okay."

All the way out, the car had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when he saw Cheng Jiabai pushing Luo Xiaoqi out, he was also very clever and ran to open the back door for the two of them.

Luo Xiaoqi wrapped her arms around Cheng Jiabai's neck and tried to get Cheng Jiabai to hold her and get into the car, which was actually nothing to her. But just for Cheng Jiabai, he had to restrain the blush on his face every time, and before he could really hug him, Luo Xiaoqi wrapped his arms around his neck, which had already made his head messy.

He took a breath, dragged her back, and wrapped the other around her legs, and sent her straight into the back car, getting up and making a handover to the messenger who guarded the door.

I wanted to close the rear door tightly, but who wanted Luo Xiaoqi to drag his body with both hands and take the initiative to vacate a vacant seat for him. Motioned for him to get into the back seat and sit with her.

Facing Luo Xiaoqi's hint of action, Cheng Jiabai held back a joy in his heart and did it lightly. And by the way, the door was closed, and the car started to start.

Luo Xiaoqi also took the initiative now and asked Cheng Jiabai to come to his side, in fact, this kind of deliberate approach to her was also purposeful, I saw her eyes glaze, looked at him for a long time and asked suspiciously: "Your classmate Xiaolin is really what you brought back from the class reunion?"

Luo Xiaoqi asked like this, Cheng Jiabai couldn't help muttering in his heart, and nodded stupidly after confirming the memories left and right, but he didn't bring it over at the class reunion, but met him at the train station by chance, but the two bought tickets for the same train and went to the same place, so they rushed to Xunyang together.

Xiao Lin said that he had another trick of manipulating the silk thread to manipulate the puppet, and he could show Luo Xiaoqi a show, so he took her home.

Cheng Jiabai told Luo Xiaoqi the process of how he met Xiaolin.

Luo Xiaoqi nodded after hearing this, looking thoughtful, which reminded Cheng Jiabai of strangeness, and said with more concern: "What's the matter, Sister."

Luo Xiao shook his head and opened the topic: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Zhang San about the mine two years ago."
