Chapter 16 The Book Farm Becomes Famous
"-Good!"
The sound of waking wood did not fall, and the scene was full of applause. Xilai sat at the small table, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and slowly took a sip of water. After a slight pause, he rubbed his eyes lightly, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, his eyes were like torches, and he continued to speak:
"The last book said ......"
It turned out that Xi Lai was talking about the most favorite section of the people in "Yang Jiajiang" and "Yuanmen Chopping". Xilai put Yang Liulang's unbearable and inseparable mood when he wanted to kill his parents, the Eight Sages King's intercessive, anxious and helpless demeanor, and Mu Guiying's courage to deal with it with sassy and witty, the interpretation is vivid and interesting. The scene gradually reached a climax, and at the peak, everyone was intoxicated, screaming wildly, and the people were almost crazy.
Xilai has been studying art with Master Shang Wuye for three years, and with hard work and talent, his oratorical skills are almost the same as those of his master. What's even more rare is that Xilai was born with a unique bright voice that Shang Wuye did not have, and it was just when he was in his prime, when he talked about the excitement, he improvised his voice to the last section of northern Shaanxi folk songs, which was mellow in timbre, full of charm, and overwhelming. Gradually, Xilai's fame grew, and because the master Shang Wuye had already become famous, like the sun, he gave the nickname "Sai Shang Wu".
As Master Shang Wuye grew older, he had been running outside for a long time in the early years, and the root of the disease left by the upheaval and displacement gradually became prominent, and his health became worse and worse, and seeing a doctor and drinking medicine became commonplace. Later, with the birth of the child (Yun Zifu), a lot of expenses were added, and the burden of supporting the family fell on Xilai alone, and he had to be busy day and night, night and day.
An occasional eye disease in Xilai, due to the lack of timely treatment, vision gradually blurred, procrastination for more than half a year, the unfortunate thing finally happened: Xilai's eyes were completely blind.
After that, like the Master, Xilai became a blind storyteller.
Xilai master and apprentice accompany each other, for many years around the Yellow River estuary of the large and small towns, bazaars, telling classic storytelling, talented and beautiful women, folklore and rural stories, wind and rain, cold and summer, although the days are really hard, but the family together, go south and north to enjoy themselves.
Xilai's master and apprentice have been traveling for several years, and they have gained countless hardcore book lovers in ten miles and eight towns and surrounding towns. I was fortunate to listen to a speech of their master and apprentice, for the iron fans, it is really a winter top winter clothes, summer sail fan, food is not sweet, can not sleep at night, can be used as wine, but also as a meal feeling, the feeling of pleasure, is really wonderful.
Due to the growing fame of the two, the praise is rolling in like a tide, and the invited performers are constantly invited, and ordinary local operas and Jianghu artists cannot compete with them at all. As a result, whenever they encounter new troupes and artists from other places, Xilai masters and apprentices take the initiative to give up the stage, and wait for them to finish their performances and perform again, so that everyone has something to eat. At the same time, once they encounter difficulties in life or those who are sick and have long disasters, the master and apprentice will also help each other with all they have, regardless of gains and losses.
Over time, the names of Shang Wuye and Xilai master and apprentice spread farther and farther, and everyone praised them.
