Chapter 10 Apprenticeship
On this day, Xilai was lonely and boring, sitting alone on the high mound, looking at the mouth of the Yellow River in the distance:
Under the clear sky, the breeze is light, the thousands of acres of clear water are covered with layers of fine waves, the crystal light is stretched out, the sun in the water is swaying, one round two wheels or three rounds and four wheels, leisurely fainting outward, reflecting the petite figure of the birds under the blue sky.
On the horizon, the occasional birdsong or two fills the vast blank just right......
Dusk is approaching, the setting sun goes up against the long river, the sky is flying out of colorful clouds, criss-crossed, endless, the sky and the earth are rendered in an instant of clouds flying and dancing, colorful, radiant, the Yellow River water is also overflowing with orange and red in an instant: looking far away, a sun in the sky, a sun in the water, two suns reflect each other, reflecting a gorgeous, magnificent, peerless magnificence......
The sunset is like gold, and in the outline of the sunset gilding, the turbid waves are jumping and noisy, shining brightly, cheering warmly, and embracing the red sun into the sea little by little......
The sunset and the geese fly together, and the river and the sea are the same color as the colorful clouds.
ββThe sunset at the mouth of the Yellow River is so beautiful!
And all this in front of him seems to have nothing to do with the accustomed Xilai, and the lively scene feels more and more lonely, since Mo Laoyan'er left the salt field, Xilai feels lost. Despite the company of spring flowers, Xilai still feels depressed. On this day, Xilai, who was sitting on the earthen hill for a long time, was suddenly attracted by the sound of gongs and drums, as if awakening the memory in his heart for a moment, he hurriedly got up and stood up, and trotted in the direction of the salt field.
The salt workers toiled all day long, and their days were monotonous. In the days when I have nothing to do, except for occasionally telling a few meat jokes, listening to the one-eyed old bachelor's nonsense and listening to the funny story of the widow's disciple being splashed with urine, it is to break some light words that are not salty or light. This year is a rare good year, every salt farm has obtained a good harvest, the owner is happy, specially invited the storytelling artist Shang Wuye to come to the salt field to tell the story, to help everyone.
The open space was crowded with people, and Xilai hurriedly got into the front row and sat down next to Chunhua. After a burst of gongs and drums, with a loud sound of waking wood, a thin blind old man behind the wooden table spoke:
"The moon rises in a drum, and the slave is in his heart to the lonely lamp.
The lamp looks at me, I look at the lamp, I look at the mourning,
The wind blows the iron horse man and disappears, thinking of the good injury of the enemy.
The gums are hazy and take a nap, and a dream balcony enters Shandong:
Lingxian County is close to Deping, and goes straight to Dezhou without stopping,
Plain Yucheng asked everywhere, Shanghe Linyi to Leling,
Go Wudi Shanghai Feng, Huimin Yangxin go to the east of the city,
Zhanhua Lijin asked everywhere and came to Pucheng to be the second watch.
The second watch is Qingcheng, and the west gate is Qidong,
Zou Pingshan twenty-five, and then eighteen is the new city,
Zichuan County, Hanyang City, Zhangqiu Jiyang relies on Licheng,
The Qihe Bridge is true, and the boat is supported under the Caiwang Bridge,
There are famous places in Jiyang Mansion, and I don't want to watch Shangchangqing,
Zou Ping didn't see Boxing looking for it, so he went to Gaotang to go to Muping,
Go to Shen County to go out of Wucheng, southwest of Pudong is Linqing,
Crying and crying about Cheng County, Dongchang Mansion played three watches.
The third watch came to the dream and the soul floated, and the Gaotang of Guanxian County went to the pavilion pottery,
Yanggu Shouzhang Yuncheng County, Fan County Puzhou Fan Guan Find,
Jiaxiang asked, Juye Run, Chengwushan County turned to Dingtao,
Heze County, Caozhou, Caozhou, Jinxiang Yutai walked,

Dongping went north to Pingyin County, and the Tai'an immortals burned incense,
Laiwu County, I didn't find it, Xintai Feicheng is far away,
Surabaya County, Qufu, Ningyang, arrived in Jining.
The fourth watch came out of Yanzhou, and Juancheng Ze County walked from the beginning,
Cangshan County, Yizhou Prefecture, Soul Flying Prefecture and Juzhou,
Zhucheng County, relying on Anqiu, Mengyin Yishui is worried.
Boshan Linqu Yidu County, Qingzhou Mansion suspended.
Looking for it in the south of the mountain, looking at the north of the sea, I don't see the tears of the enemy,
Crying and crying in Linzi County, Gaoqing Boxing did not,
Walking east along the lake, when will you arrive at Hanyang Tower?
Le'an Shouguang traveled all over the place, and did not stay in Changle.
Five watches came to Shangwei County, crossed Changyi Laizhou Bay,
Laixi Pingdu Gaomi County, it is in vain to find Jiaozhou,
Jimo County, relying on Laoshan Mountain, Laiyang Zhaoyuan on Huangshan,
Penglai Ninghai is injured, and the tears ripple when he travels to Haiyang,
Fushan County, Rongcheng County, Wendeng Qixia is not seen,
hurriedly walked into Dengzhou Mansion and learned that the enemy was on the boat.
I had no choice but to go to the river, the sea was rippling,
Trembling and looking up, I saw the water and the sky and saw the boat.
In order to find a wrongdoer's leg and want to break it, Kyushu and ten prefectures all ran through,
In order to see her husband and man, he went through a lot of hardships and completed one hundred orders and eight counties. β
- All the long sentences, in one go, and the speech is clear, the voice is round, the tone is abrupt, and the melody is rich.
With another "pop", the sound stopped abruptly.
The salt workers stayed where they were, and after a long while, thunderous applause and cheers erupted, followed by applause. Xilai jumped high excitedly, and couldn't help but shout hello at the top of his throat.
Xilai would never have imagined that someone would say such a wonderful, extreme, and expressive speech - it is really wonderful.
Hearing the following echo, Shang Wuye's thin face was filled with a smile, he slowly wiped his sweat, sipped his saliva, and then went on to speak "Five Tigers Pingxi" - Di Qing's fifteenth night imperial garden "Catching Monsters and Horses". Shang Wuye on the stage is like a great immortal, depicting the pavilions, plants and flowers, rockery ponds and the breeze and bright moon in the imperial garden under the moonlight, vividly showing them one by one in front of everyone like a dream. For a while, it was quiet and deep, and there was no fortune or misfortune, and everyone was sweating for Di Qing in the book, trembling in anticipation; After a while, the sound of waves, fighting, shouting, strange screams, and horses chirping came, and for a moment it seemed to be suddenly enlightened. With just one mouth, a folding fan, and a piece of waking wood, it makes people feel like they are there, as if they hear their voices, which is really exquisite and interesting.
It was not until the moon rose in the sky that people finally came back to their senses from the book. His legs were numb, his body was cold, and his neck hurt, so he yawned and dragged his tired body back contentedly.
Xilai, who listened to a book for the first time in his life, was completely shocked by Shang Wuye's exquisite speech and was completely impressed from the bottom of his heart. From that day on, Shang Wuye toured in various salt farms for half a month, and Xilai followed left and right, and the scene did not fall. At first, Xilai took the initiative to help, and then slowly led the fifth master around. After going back and forth, Shang Wuye gradually fell in love with this cheerful, careful, smart and diligent young man.
Maybe he knew that it was not easy to go out to talk about stories and ask for life, or maybe he knew that Xilai was from a famous family, and Shang Wuye didn't agree to teach Xi to tell books at first. But he couldn't stand Xilai's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and begging hard, the fifth master himself felt that Xilai was indeed a rare good material, so he officially accepted Xilai's apprentice.
The head of the salt boss, Mu Tou, considered that his daughter was old and could not stay in the salt farm for a lifetime like himself, and he should go out to see the world, and Xilai was also a trustworthy and good child, so he entrusted Chunhua to Xilai. Soon, Xilai Chunhua and the two said goodbye to Lao Mutou and left the salt field with their master Shang Wuye, officially opening his road of storytelling.
When Yun Shan, the old lady who was far away in Wugu Dao's hometown, learned about it, he was angry, he fell seriously ill, and vowed not to recognize this son from now on.
