Shen Qiushui was silent for a long time before he said, "Go back." ”

Because of Shen Qiushui's words, when he went back to review his homework, he was absent-minded all the time, and saw Chu Nantang sitting in front of the piano case, moving the guzheng away, and he didn't know what he was tinkering with.

I stepped forward to look at it for a while, only to see him take a turtle shell, put three Qianlong coins and shake it, and then spilled it out.

Then he pinched his fingers for a long time and began to roll a second time.

I was a little interested, until he threw three times and saw that he had put away the props, so I asked him, "Nantang, what were you doing just now?" Sort of a fortune teller I've seen in town before. ”

"Just now? I'm divining a fortune teller, and I'm doing the same thing as the fortune teller you saw. ”

"Divination?" I sat cross-legged in front of him: "Who are you telling fortunes?" ”

His expression was a little solemn and said: "The person who is waiting for Shaohua already has a little eyebrows. ”

"Can that be counted?"

"Knowing his birthdate, you can deduce his fate and whereabouts, but ......" he paused and didn't say any more.

The curiosity aroused by him was not satisfied, and he couldn't help but ask: "But what?" ”

"Some people, even if they have a birthday, they can't count their past and present lives."

When he said this, he was a little helpless and sad, and he wanted to know whose past and present lives? But that man must have been very important to him.

"Nantang, I dreamed of the woman in the red cheongsam again two days ago and saw her face."

His eyes flashed, and he didn't even ask, "Really?" ”

"Well, he looks the same as me, could it be that the person I dreamed of has always been me?"

He said, "If the bond with this world in the previous life was too deep, even if it has been reincarnated for several lifetimes. You will still dream about things that will make you unforgettable. ”

"In her dreams, she was calling a name, and that name was Zen Heart."

When I looked at him, his body trembled visibly, his expression stiffened slightly, and then he acted as if nothing happened: "It doesn't matter. ”

"Do you know Zen mind?"

He secretly sighed: "It's been too long, I don't remember much, you should rest early tonight......"

"Chu Nantang, you are always like this, you hide everything from me and don't tell me, why are you approaching me?!" I asked uncontrollably.

"What do you want to know?" He stared at me for a moment, with a solemn expression.

"I just want to know why you're here in my life now. What do you need me to do for you? I should have the right to know! ”

"You don't have to do anything." He paused, his eyes lowered, "Remember the promise I made to you?" I will not hurt you and will be with you until the day when I no longer need me. ”

"You both say this, but you keep doing things that hurt me, and I won't believe you anymore."

I turned around, only to hear a soft sigh, and when I turned around again, Chu Nantang had disappeared in front of my eyes.

In order to completely solve the haunting incident in the Grand Theater, we followed Chu Nantang to find the person Shaohua had been waiting for.

I heard Chu Nantang mention some legends about the past of Feng Shi and Shaohua.

Shaohua's family was poor when he was young, and his mother sold him to the opera garden, when he was still young, only five years old.

Master is a very strict person, he has to practice leg presses, waist downs, and somersaults every day, and if he doesn't practice well, he won't be given food.

Many times, the Master would take the rattan and scold them with the most vicious words and whip them at the same time. When he couldn't hold on anymore, he once escaped with his senior brother.

But after three days of going out, he was so hungry that he came back. Since then, he has never thought about leaving the opera garden. Because he has no second way for him to go except this road.

He understands better that in this opera garden, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent, and no one will be willing to look at him one day.

Since then, he has practiced harder and harder, and when he came on stage for the first time at the age of sixteen, he sang 'Guifei Drunk', and since then he has been famous in the capital.

Many dignitaries and nobles admired him to sing operas, and many people spent a lot of money for him.

There is a young man named Feng Shi in the capital, and his family is very rich, and the Feng family was called Feng Bancheng by the people in the capital at that time, which shows how rich the family is.

This Feng Shi is a drama idiot, and since he saw Shaohua's concubine getting drunk, he has been out of control. Obsessed to the point where I can't extricate myself.

not only spent a lot of money for Shaohua, but also bought a house for him privately, several acres of fertile land, ordered the most expensive costumes for him, and only let this Shaohua sing for him alone.

After three years like this, the old man of the Feng family thought that his son was not doing his job properly and was addicted to lustful dogs and horses, so he found a family affair for Feng Shi.

Feng Shi didn't disobey his father, and honestly became a relative, which made Old Man Feng open one eye and close one eye.

But this Feng Shi went to find Na Shaohua at two ends in three days, this Young Mrs. Feng was resentful, but she was also hindered by the relationship between husband and wife, and did not tear her face.

After a long time, this young lady Feng gave birth to hatred from love, and quietly went to see Shaohua, and when she came back, she said to Old Man Feng that Shaohua was a fox and a demon, and Feng Shi had been hooked by him.

Old man Feng thought about it again, and on the grounds of talking about business, he left Feng Shi to go to the field, and as soon as Feng Shi left on the front foot, he quietly sent his subordinates on the back foot, broke Shaohua's hamstrings, ruined his appearance, and made him unable to sing and see people in the future.

Since then, Shaohua has not seen anyone behind closed doors, even Feng Shi begged and refused to see him.

Day after day, year after year, this Feng Shi gradually became cold. He never went to Shaohua again.

Not long after, Feng Shao's grandmother gave birth to a child, and Feng Shi gradually forgot about Shaohua, and was not as obsessed with opera as before, and began to learn to do business seriously.

Five years passed in a flash, and Old Man Feng fell seriously ill and died. After Old Man Feng died, someone dared to quietly tell Feng Shi about it.

Feng Shi listened, and immediately regretted it, it was snowing heavily that night, and he went back to the house he gave to Shaohua alone to find him, but unfortunately, the person had already left.

No one knows where Shaohua went, some people say he died, and some people say that they saw him on the street......

Later, Feng Shi had no intention of doing other things, scattered all his family wealth, gave a lot of money, and sent Mrs. Feng Shao back to her parents' house with the child, and he was always looking for that person.

In 1900, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, the situation was turbulent, and some people said that Feng Shi was unwilling to flee and leave in order to wait for him to return, and died in the war.

One night, people heard someone in Changyuan singing about the drunkenness of the concubine, and they said that Shaohua had returned. He was wearing the neon dress and feather coat that Feng Shi had given him, and after singing this song, the concubine was drunk and died of poison.

How many people died in the chaos of war without a place to be buried? Long Paradise was devastated by the war and no longer exists.

More than 100 years have passed today, who still remembers whom? Those former glories are just like floating bubbles, disappearing in the rolling river of history, without a trace.

The brighter the sensing stone, the closer that person is to us.

We came to an old courtyard in the city, and happened to meet an old man smoking an old pipe and pushing open the door, and was about to go for a walk, when he saw a group of people standing outside the house, he couldn't help but wonder: "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Yiqing and I exchanged a look, could it be that the person Shaohua was waiting for was this old man?

When he didn't know how to answer, the old man seemed to figure it out: "I think you should be students, right?" Coming to Mr. Feng? ”

Teacher Feng?? Bai Yiqing and I nodded vigorously, and the old man called into the house: "Hour, your student has come to look for you." ”

"Really? Let them in! A deep and pleasant voice came from the house, the old man took a puff of cigarette, hummed an opera and said, "Then I won't bother you, go in and find Teacher Feng by yourself." ”

Bai Yiqing and I walked into the house with a hard head, only to see a thin and tall man who was packing our luggage with his back to us, and he didn't look back at me, as if he was a little busy.

"You sit casually, the teacher still has some things to pack up now, I didn't expect you to come here at this time, I ...... the plane at ten o'clock in the evening"

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at us, stunned, puzzled, and stunned for a long time, but he didn't remember that he had two of us.

"You are...... Not a student at our Ninth High School, right? If I taught you, why didn't you have any impressions? ”

Feng Chang is quite handsome, with very fair skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he knows that he is engaged in art at a glance.

"Teacher Feng, we are indeed not students of No. 9 High School, but students of No. 1 Middle School."

"One in one? Why did you No. 1 students come to me? Feng Shi smiled: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Saying that, he poured us two glasses of juice, and Bai Yiqing hurriedly said, "Teacher Feng." Don't be busy, we need help with something. ”

"I'm really a little busy now, I just came back from the last class, the plane at ten o'clock in the evening, if you really have any urgent business, I'll talk about it when I come back."

"Huh? So how long do you need to go? ”

"A year."

"What?! A year?? Bai Yiqing shouted: "That's not possible, it's been too long, where did that person wait so long, in fact, it doesn't take too long, it's only half past six in the evening, and it's still early at ten o'clock, we just want to invite you to listen to a play, and come back after listening." ”

"You two kids, don't mess around." Feng Shi looked at us helplessly, thought about it and asked, "Hey." How do you know I like to listen to theater? ”

I laughed, it seems that some of the likes of the past life are sometimes carried over to this life.

"Teacher Feng, come with us, this scene will definitely make you unforgettable in this life."

He looked at the two of us helplessly: "Next time?" If you can still hear that scene this time next year, will you come back again? ”

"Is it true that you can't spare any time?" Shaohua waited for so long, refused to be reincarnated, and just wanted to repay this long-cherished wish, singing this last play for him, can't he really wait?

"I'm so busy now, I'll have to go to the headmaster to say hello in a while, and I'm about to go out at this time."

As he spoke, he pulled up the packed luggage: "Okay, two classmates, thank you for your kindness." I have to go, I have a chance to listen to the play together again, and the teacher will invite you then. ”

"Eh~" Bai Yiqing wanted to hold him, but in the end he could only watch the back of Feng Shi leaving in a daze.

At this time, Chu Nantang appeared behind us, and Bai Yiqing looked back at Chu Nantang helplessly: "Grandpa Zu, I can't keep it, it is estimated that the ghost will have to wait in the Grand Theater for a year." ”

"Don't worry, Feng Shi can't leave tonight."

We all looked at Chu Nantang, and he said in a deep voice: "I just made a hexagram for him, the heaven and the earth are negated, and it is not suitable to travel far." ”

Bai Yiqing's eyes widened with admiration: "This is okay?" ”

"And wait patiently."

We squatted in the corner and guarded until midnight, Bai Yiqing yawned and lost his patience: "Teacher Feng will really come back?" Now, if all goes well, it's been half an hour since you boarded the plane, right? ”

I stared at the end of the alley for a moment, and the minutes ticked by. Suddenly, a figure dragged a suitcase and walked in from the alley unhurriedly.

It felt as if the dark night was lit up by a renewed hope, and Bai Yiqing and I met it desperately.

Seeing us, Feng Shi was surprised, and stared at us for a long time: "It's so late, why haven't you come home yet?" ”

"Teacher Feng, let's go to the play!"

Feng Shi was dragged by us and walked two steps, and shouted: "Two little ancestors, you have to let me put my luggage first!" ”

On the way to the Grand Theater, I learned that Feng Shi's plane to foreign countries was delayed due to the climate and environment, and it was rebooked to two days tomorrow afternoon.

Bai Yiqing admired Chu Nantang even more, the man's face was calm, and he seemed to have everything under control.

Feng Shi was taken to the door of the Grand Theater by us, and couldn't help frowning: "It's deserted, there seems to be no one, who else is singing inside?" ”

"Uh...... Teacher Feng, I want to surprise you, so don't ask more, come in with us. ”

"You two, it's weird." Feng Shi looked at us suspiciously, but seemed to want to know what kind of medicine was sold in our gourd, so he followed us into the grand theater.

Chu Nantang opened the lock with his mind, pushed the door in, and it was empty and pitch black.

Feng Shi was a little frightened, and said suspiciously: "You two little ghosts, you can't be trying to fix me, right?" ”

"Teacher Feng, you have to have confidence in our character! Do you think we are innocent and lovely, gentle and kind, like the kind of people who take pleasure in playing tricks on people? Bai Yiqing laughed twice.

Suddenly, several lights in the big drama garden were turned on, and Feng Shi was startled: "Why did the lights turn on by themselves?" ”

"It's said that it was a surprise, and it must have surprised and delighted you, Mr. Feng."

Feng Shi glanced at Bai Yiqing, sighed lightly and said, "Classmate, I think your eloquence is not bad, have you learned to speak?" Race over debate? ”

"I've won awards, I don't have any other hobbies, I just love to be poor."

Me: "......"

Chu Nantang's gaze fell lightly on Bai Yiqing, and he quietly wiped a cold sweat.

When we sat down in the seats of the Grand Theater, the spotlight on the stage turned on, and the man appeared out of thin air from the darkness, and that glance amazed the time, and the world was silent.

He holds a golden folding fan in his hand, and every look and every movement can make people intoxicated, and he is worthy of being the first famous opera actor at that time.

Feng Shi didn't even blink his eyes when he saw it, and his serious appearance seemed to engrave every look and movement of the person on the stage in the depths of his soul.

The ice wheel of the island is beginning to turn

Seeing the jade rabbit, the jade rabbit rose east early

The ice wheel is off the island

The difference is clear

The moon is in the sky

It's just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace

The slave is like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace

It's like Chang'e under the ninefold

Qing Qing fell coldly in the Guanghan Palace

……

After a song, Shaohua choked and said: "I can see Brother Shi again, Shaohua has no regrets, Shaohua has never regretted meeting you, in the next life, Shaohua will be a cow and a horse to repay Brother Shi'er for the kindness of Bole back then, farewell, Brother Shi." ”

When the words fell, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the man returned to the night and was never seen again.

As if Feng Shi's soul had been taken away, he rose up, ran quickly to the stage, and found the backstage, almost looking for the theater, but he couldn't find him.

"Teacher Feng. Don't look for it, you won't find him. "I stepped forward to stop him, but he was very emotional.

"How could I not find it? Do you know him? Yes? Take me to him! Ha ha...... It's great, he simply played the concubine alive, and his singing skills are amazing! I must see him again! ”

I glanced at Chu Nantang and didn't speak again.

Bai Yiqing stepped forward and said, "Teacher Feng, it's enough to watch good things once, it's too boring to see too much, it's too late now, otherwise let's go back, right?" ”

"No way!" Feng Shi was like a demon: "I must find him, if you don't let me see him again, I'll wait here every day!" ”

"Aren't you going abroad?" Bai Yiqing blinked, not understanding his paranoia and madness.

He really sat on the steps and refused to leave, Chu Nantang sighed: "Let him wait, if he can't wait, he will naturally wake up one day." ”

Later, Feng Shi did not go abroad in order to wait for that person.

He would go to the Grand Theater every night to wait for Shaohua to appear, he didn't believe that the person had disappeared like this, and he had to see him again.

Later, I heard that Feng Shi resigned from his position as a music teacher in a college and went to work as an administrator in the Grand Theater, where he stayed there day and night.

Hearing these rumors, there was some inexplicable sadness.

Is there a solution to the obsession in this world? The demons trapped us, struggling to pursue in the mortal world, but we don't know what we have to wait for in the end.

In the summer of the following year, the replanted flowers in the yard bloomed again, and there were a few roses.

The garden of a hundred flowers is not as thrilling as the roses in that garden, but it is pleasant and comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, I began to prepare for the college entrance examination in the final year, and I didn't care about other things.

Feng Shi came to me once, as if he didn't ask about Shaohua's whereabouts, so he refused to let me go.

I couldn't bear it, so I said to him: "Actually, that night, what you saw was only the last remnant of Shaohua left in this world, he is like the obsession in your heart now, waiting for you for a hundred years, and finally waiting for you, just want to make a decision." Teacher Feng, don't pursue it anymore, don't wait any longer, Shaohua won't appear again, he died, died in the war a hundred years ago, do you understand? ”

He lowered his hands in disappointment and believed my words: "I know that where in this world can I find people like him?" ”

"Teacher Feng......"

He smiled, with endless loneliness and sadness: "I know, thank you for letting me watch that scene, it was what I saw, the best scene, I will always remember it." ”

When he left, his figure was extremely lonely, which made my eyes redden, and I couldn't help but sigh, what a stupid! Is there anyone in the world who is as stupid as them?

couldn't help but think of Chu Nantang. What about him? After waiting for a hundred years, who are you waiting for?

In the summer vacation of the sophomore year of high school, they went back with Mr. Shen and took one of them with them.

Along the way, I saw that although Gu Xi was still indifferent and didn't like to talk, he was a lot more patient and tolerant of him.

Yan Zhi is still very protective and trusts Shen Qiushui, but the eyes when he looks at him are different, and more often he is looking at his relatives.

My grandmother is still very strong, so I am relieved. At night, I slept with Changzhi, and she was very excited to sleep when she came to this kind of place for the first time.

Or maybe I was thinking about something else, I was sleepy, and she kept talking to me.

I said, "Be quiet, the sound insulation here is not good, be careful to be heard by the person next door." ”

Yan Yi's face was embarrassed: "Why didn't you remind me earlier?" ”

"Didn't I tell you to go to bed earlier? I'll take you outside tomorrow, you go to sleep quickly, I'm sleepy. ”

I just rested, and I fell asleep after a while, but I didn't know that I had insomnia......

I got up in the morning to help my grandmother make breakfast, Shen Qiushui and Gu Xi and I also got up later, they always got up early, and asked grandma if she wanted to help, and grandma 'banged' them out.

I thought that breakfast was unpalatable, so I took the snacks I brought and filled my stomach. Mr. Shen couldn't help but say more: "Yanzhi, this is outside, it's not as good as at home, follow the local customs, and you can somewhat put away some of your young lady's temper." ”

"What's wrong with me? I just can't get used to eating coarse tea and light rice here, I eat my own, and I don't bother you. ”

"Mr. Shen, forget it, she has this temperament and has no malice, and my grandmother and I don't take it to heart, you can go with her."

So Chang Zhi was petty again, and ran out alone, anyway, in the end, Mr. Shen asked Gu Xi and me to bring Chang Zhi back.

But that day, Chang Zhi didn't stop because of this, and after he came back, he cried and wanted to go back.

Mr. Shen was angry: "It's you who wants to follow, and it's you who is going to leave now, Fang Yanzhi, if you continue to make trouble like this, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wild wolves!" ”

Sure enough, Mr. Gu still had a better temper than Mr. Shen, and Shen Qiushui started a fire. It's a little scary.

Without waiting for Mr. Shen to throw her out, she walked out with a small bag on her back.

"I'll go talk to her, and you won't follow." I glanced at Gu Xi, who had been silent with his eyes lowered, and chased him out.

I cried as I walked, and I silently followed her, where did she recognize the way, and walked to the stream.

I picked up a stone, threw it into the creek, made a splash, and jumped onto her white dress.

She turned around and glared at me viciously: "Zhang Lingsheng, are you also deliberately trying to stimulate me and find me unhappy?" ”

"No, I'm worried about you, I'm really afraid that you will be taken away by a wild wolf." I sat down beside her: "Did Mr. Gu tell you something to make you so sad?" ”

Yan Zhi wiped his tears and snot regardless of his image: "What's wrong with me?" Gu Xi, why don't I like me?! ”

You've got a lot of bad places. But it surprised me a little, Gu Xi I personally told her that I didn't like her?

"But I see that Mr. Gu is very good to you, and I don't feel that I have a good impression of you at all. At least he usually ignores me. ”

"Really?" Changzhi seemed to get some comfort from me, and asked rhetorically.

"Well, really! What did he say to you? Rejected you personally? ”

At the mention of this, Yan Zhi sobbed again: "I said that I liked him very much, so he pushed me away, and told me not to think nonsense, he has no other feelings for me, it is all because of Mr. Shen's order, he will, will ...... Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing Chang Zhi so sad, my heart was also uncomfortable, and I stepped forward and hugged her in my arms: "Don't cry, I'll help you scold him tomorrow!" ”

"Lingsheng, am I really so annoying?"

"Do you want to tell the truth?"

"Well, you're telling the truth."

"Sometimes it makes you want to strangle you...... However, you also have a cute side, you are smart and beautiful, you are also very talented, and you are very honest. In fact, you are more free and easy than anyone else, and I sometimes envy you. ”

"Am I that good?"

I laughed: "Say you're not good, you don't like to listen, say you're good, and you don't believe it, so what should I do?" ”

Chang Zhi sighed: "Actually, I know that I don't get along well, but fortunately, you don't dislike me at all." As long as you don't dislike me, I don't care what others think of me. Lingsheng, it's good to have you. ”

"Hmm. Don't be sad, come back with me first, it's not good to be out for too long. ”

She may be tired of tossing and turning, and she will fall asleep when she goes back.

At night, he was woken up by mosquitoes, drove out the mosquitoes in the tent, lit wormwood, opened the window, and saw a man standing outside the courtyard.

The evening breeze blew softly, stroking the bell around his waist and making a pleasant sound.

I stumbled out of the room and came behind him. He glanced at me indifferently and did not speak.

"Mr. Gu has something on his mind?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me, but you make my heart sad."

Gu Xi sneered: "I can't see that you can get along so well with each other." I didn't think there would be anyone who could get along so well with my sister-in-law. ”

"I just don't know how to hide myself. I unconsciously magnified those tempers to others. But that's the most real her, and after you understand it, you won't hate it. ”

Gu Xi's expression softened a lot, and he stared at me with a complicated expression: "One last time to warn you, don't get too close to Yan Zhi, it won't be good for you." ”

"You told me not to get close to her, but you refused to tell me why, so I can't listen to you. I treat her as my sister, so I will protect her and not let anyone bully her. ”

"Zhang Lingsheng, why are you always like this?"

"Always?"

Gu Xi couldn't stand it, and secretly took a breath: "Always...... Unconsciously let people let go of all their defenses, even if someone is so hurt because of this, but they are willing to make the same mistake a second time. ”

"I don't quite understand. Who are you talking about? "Although I didn't say it, I vaguely felt that he was talking about Shen Qiushui.

"Does that matter to you?"

"yes, it doesn't matter, I know who I am." I said with great firmness: "I am Zhang Lingsheng, a person who only knows what I live in this life, in the past life, in the next life, who am I and where will I be?" I don't care. ”

"You don't care because you've forgotten the past."

"Even if it is something to forget, there must be a reason why it cannot exist."

Gu Xi stared at me worriedly and smiled: "Zhang Lingsheng, no matter how many lives it has been." You're still you. ”

"Be nice to her, even if, as you said, she may only have a short life, even if it ...... You've never been true to her. I looked at Gu Xi with hatred, turned around and went back to the room.

When I came back this time, I often couldn't see Gu Xi and Shen Qiushui, and my intuition told me that they came back with a certain purpose.

"Lingsheng, look!" She handed me a hairpin, a hairpin with a bow, which was very cute.

"It's perfect for you."

Yan Zhi held the hairpin to his heart: "It was given to me by Mr. Gu, and he also said that it suited me." ”

"He still gave you this?"

"What? Are you also surprised? I couldn't believe my eyes at the time, he would send this to me! She couldn't help but raise her chin and asked, "What did Mr. Shen send you?" ”

"I don't remember, maybe I gave a lot."

Yan Yi's face was puzzled: "You don't remember what Mr. Shen sent?" ”

I laughed: "If this hairpin wasn't given to you by Mr. Gu." Would you still be so precious? I'm afraid I don't know where you left it for a long time, right? ”

Yan Zhi turned blushing slightly: "Of course, what Mr. Gu sent, how can they be compared to those ordinary people?" Hum! ”

In fact, it's just an ordinary hairpin that can't be more ordinary, but in your heart, it is extremely important.

Suddenly, the other side of the mountain shook, and even the ground beneath his feet began to shake. Grandma ran out of the house with a rolling pin and pulled me over: "Ouch, why is this earthquake again?" It's been a long time since there's been an earthquake, quick, get to a safe place. ”

"Grandma, don't worry, it's not an earthquake!" Instead, someone broke into the tomb.

"It's not an earthquake......," Grandma looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I nudged her and said, "Grandma." You take your wife into the house, I'll ...... I went to Mr. Shen and them, they are not familiar with the terrain here, and they are afraid that they will be in trouble if they get lost and fall into some hole. ”

"Yes, then you can go quickly!"

I didn't think much of it, I turned around and ran up the mountain, and when I ran to the tomb, the small stone door was opened.

It is estimated that they have been in for a while, although there are many mechanisms inside, but with Gu Xi and me, it is not impossible to crack it.

The reason why they didn't go deep before, I was afraid that they were just exploring the way, and this time they walked into the spirit tomb again, and they came prepared.

But when I walked in, I found that it was the same inside as before. It's not the same anymore. When I looked back again, it was strange that the one that came in was no longer available.
