Four

Han Qiuyun woke up on the fourth day of evacuating the battlefield of Yangong Temple, but the Han Qiuyun who woke up was no longer the original Han Qiuyun, even if he was awake, he was still in a dream.

On this cloudy afternoon, Han Qiuyun was still immersed in his own world, and returned to Lanqiao Port like a cloud.

In the past, Lanqiaobu used to be an old-style commercial port with more than 1,000 people, although it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, but there was a two-way river with a width of more than 30 zhang from the east of the town, which not only gave this remote market town a beautiful water, but also brought salt, cloth and foreign fire to the people of Lanqiaobu, and the rich people could often use foreign pancreas. In a good harvest year, on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Zhang Luo, the leading figure in the town, will invite a big opera troupe from the city to stage one or two big performances at the dam in the east of the street. At this time, it is the children's festival.

In the eyes of Han Qiuyun in his childhood, everything outside the mountain is distant and wonderful, such as the Mobil lamp used by the big opera troupe from the city to act, the snow is bright and dazzling, just like the sun that comes out of the mountain at night, which can attract moths, locusts and locusts in a radius of dozens of miles, flying overhead like a black oppressive cloud. There are also silk satins worn by those who perform big dramas, which shine under the Mobil lamp, flowing with gold, and also make the men and women of Lanqiaobu infinitely fascinated. Some years of invited big opera troupes to sing Huangmei Opera, Han Qiuyun didn't understand very well, either men or women cried on the stage, and sometimes they fainted while crying and singing. Most of the characters played by female actors are good people, and most of them are so good with men that they want to die or live, but they are too good to have good results. Most of the men in the big play are good people, and they don't know how to do something sorry for the woman, which makes the woman's poignant and sad, crying and singing, and it is so sad that it makes people feel distressed. Sometimes until the stage is dismantled, the big troupe has been gone for several days, and the sad and sad lyrics are still floating in the sky of Lanqiaobu.

The people who live in the town are not all handicraftsmen and traders, and most of them also have to go to the fields to farm, and sometimes there will be bursts of Huangmei tunes in the fields, "drifting to the end of the world with the autumn wind, where is where you are home". Naturally, the people of Lanqiaobu don't sing as well as the big opera troupe.

For two years, Henan Bangzi was invited, which is different from Huangmei Opera. The drama of Bangzi Opera looks much more energetic than that of Huangmei Opera, walking on the stage, regardless of male or female, with a bright voice, high-pitched and agitated, and sometimes able to pull out the sharp treble to the sky. Pulled to the highest place, not busy falling, but ah-ho-hea-hee-hea-hea-hee-hea And there are a lot of fights. Most of the female actors in Bangzi opera play play roles such as Mulan, Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, etc., either with a three-foot long sword as cold as ice, or with a red tasseled Fang Tian painting halberd, which is majestic and heroic. Once the fight starts, it will be even more lively, only listen to the gongs and drums, the splendid clouds all over the stage, you come and go, you go up and down, the left one heels, the right one sweeps the legs, one falls down for a while, and the dead come back to life for a while, and people are dazzled to see.

The big drama in Lanqiaobu is really Han Qiuyun's most nostalgic dream place.

This is a relatively sober memory of Han Qiuyun's hometown and childhood after falling asleep for many days. Since the encounter at Yan Gong Temple, this kind of sober moment has become especially precious to her. When he was sober, the first thing to occupy Han Qiuyun's wish was to return to Lanqiao Port when he was a child and watch a big drama happily. Then, it was that early summer afternoon.

What an unforgettable time it was.
