Chapter 112: The Legend of the Fat Snake
On the way to the theater by Li Xiake and others, at this time at the Foshan Wharf, there was a temporary stage, and a group of people behind the stage were busy at home.
The tall and chubby Lin Shirong was chatting with a young boy in the background.
"Liang Kuan, last time, it was because of you that my militia brothers had a fight with the Shahe Gang, and the militia brothers were arrested and put in prison, and they haven't been released yet, you can kill me, and I don't dare to say that I took the lead in making trouble. ”
The young boy next to Lin Shirong was Liang Kuan, who came to Foshan from Meixian County to prepare to be a martial artist in the theater, and the last time it was because of him that the people of the Shahe Gang fought with the people of the militia group, but afterwards he ran away, but he made the people of the militia miserable, causing the people of the militia to be played by Admiral Wu Zongjun on the pretext of the topic, and they were all imprisoned in prison, and they have not been able to come out so far.
However, because of the last incident, Liang Kuan and Lin Shirong knew each other, and this time the troupe was acting, and as a member of the troupe, he specially invited Li Shirong to come to watch the play, which was regarded as a thank you for his help that day.
Lin Shirong doesn't like to eat white food, people invite him to watch the play for free, he always feels uncomfortable, and after saying a few words to Liang Kuan, he said to the theater owner: "I don't watch the play in vain, so let's do it, I'll help you watch the theater, with me, no one wants to mix in and rub the ticket!"
At this time, the theater acting, every time there will be a lot of sneaky people to run in to watch the white opera for free, the theater owner can't really go to catch people, and he doesn't dare to catch up, but all the people who sneak to watch the theater are basically Foshan locals, they don't dare to offend at all when they sing, they can only turn a blind eye, and now seeing Lin Shirong want to watch the ticket for the theater, the theater owner is extremely happy: "Oh, that's so embarrassing! Rong Ye, you are the master of Huang Feihong, with you to guard the door, no one dares to mess around." When this scene is finished, my brother will definitely have a heart!"
Lin Shirong is hot-blooded and impulsive, but he is also very serious about doing things, when the theater is open, he checks the tickets very strictly, and he doesn't let anyone in if they don't have a ticket.
Don't look at Lin Shirong's resignation in front of Huang Feihong, he didn't dare to refute in the slightest, but in essence, this guy can also be called a bully in Foshan, at this time he held a small stick in his hand, and sat on the chair at the door in a big way, to see who didn't have a ticket, it was a stick to knock it down, but it was also majestic, and few people really had the courage to get in.
At this moment, two girly men twisted their butts and shook their fans and walked over with the crowd.
Lin Shirong is a straight man and a pure man, as soon as he sees the fake girls, he gets angry, and the small stick in his hand points at the two of them: "What about the ticket? Don't think about entering the door without a ticket!"
The two girly men were stunned when they heard this: "You are asking us for tickets? Do you know who we are?"
The man wearing the hat on the left retracted his fan, his orchid fingers cocked, and he said delicately: "I'm Bai Yulang!"
The man on the right also put on a shelf, held his head high, and said, "I am He Bufan!"
Lin Shirong was immediately unhappy when he saw the two of them scratching their heads and making gestures, as if everyone should know them: "You two old rabbits, are you disgusting? I'm still Lin Shirong! Even when I watch a play, I have to help people check tickets and watch the door, what are you two things?"
As he spoke, he struck Bai Yulang and He Bufan's heads with a stick: "Get out, in front of Rong Ye and me, do you dare to watch the play in vain?"
"Oops, it's killing me!"
"You dead fatty, you still dare to hit someone?"
"I tell you, you drove us away, don't regret it!"
Seeing the two people being beaten and running away with their heads covered, Lin Shirong laughed: "Two old rabbits, it's annoying to watch, and it's disgusting to beat you away!"
After checking the ticket for a long time, and the people were almost there, Liang Kuan ran out of the theater garden and said to Lin Shirong: "Brother Rong, why don't I come to check the ticket, you go inside to watch the play." ”
Lin Shirong said, "Jiao'er hasn't come yet, what's there to see?"
At this time, watching a play is about watching the corners, and if you can't become a corner, there are not many people to cheer for the play, and only when the famous characters come on the stage, a large number of audiences applaud. The play he sang today is "The Legend of the White Snake", and it is said that there are two famous characters, and Lin Shirong is ready to play these two famous characters, and then he will go in to watch the play.
Liang Kuan said: "Oh, then I'll be here with you for a while, hey, by the way, why don't you come with Bai Yulang?"
Lin Shirong was stunned: "Here, those two old rabbits wanted to watch the show for nothing, but I drove them away." Why? Do you know them?"
When Liang Kuan heard this, his mouth grew bigger and bigger, and his eyes were about to pop out: "What? You drove them away? They are Jiao'er, big brother!"
Lin Shirong was taken aback: "These two old rabbits are famous horns, are famous horns so girly?"
Liang Kuan said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, how many of the people who sing Danjiao now are women? The daughter of a pure white family, who can afford to lose this person on stage? Danjiao is basically a man!"
He said in a panic: "Brother Rong, you watch first, I'll chase them over, if they don't act, our theater today will be over!"
Lin Shirong said angrily: "Okay, I know, you can chase it!"
At this time, Huang Feihong and Aunt Thirteen sat on a sliding pole to approach the theater from far and near, and next to them, there was Li Xiake, who was straddling a horse and carrying a sword.
Lin Shirong's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Huang Feihong and Li Xiake, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to check the ticket at the door, and ran inside.
"The ticket inspector is gone!"
A group of people who were still queuing at the door saw Lin Shirong leaving, shouted, and all of them rushed to the theater, and for a moment, they made a mess.
Li Xiake had seen a few stage plays at the local temple fairs in his previous life, but he had never experienced the stage opera of this era, at this time, he was walking slowly across the horse, his eyes looked at the crowd crowded at the gate of the theater in front of him, and said with a smile: "Good guy, is it so lively to watch a play?"
Huang Feihong looked ahead when he heard this, and he was also curious: "Maybe today's scene is a famous performance, that's why it's so crowded, right?"
Li Xiake said: "Famous corners? Famous corners are not famous corners, I can't understand them anyway!"
In addition to Peking Opera and Henan Opera, Li Xiake can't understand any other operas, this Guangdong local opera is Cantonese opera, then he is even more confused to listen to it, but watching the play, this era for ordinary people, "watching" is far more important than "listening", everyone is a lively picture, only a very small number of people, is really to listen to the play.
When the three of them came to the theater, not far in front of the stage, someone specially built a simple shed for watching the play, used linen cloth as the roof for shade, and placed a few Taishi chairs under the shed, which was prepared for everyone.
Admiral Wu Zongjun was already waiting for them there: "Li Daxia, Master Huang, this time General Wigans said that he wanted to invite Master Huang to watch the play, saying that he was apologizing for accidentally injuring the vegetable vendor by shooting last time, and Mr. Jishan and others in the United States also expressed regret for what happened last time. So I wanted to invite Master Huang to come and watch the play, everyone misunderstood, and it would be okay if it was opened!"
He bowed his hand to Li Xiake and said: "I think that since Master Huang is here, I can't snub Li Daxia, so I took it upon myself to invite Li Daxia over, and if I was reckless, I also invited Li Daxia Haihan." ”
Li Xiake smiled: "Lord Wu has a heart!"
After several people sat down, the gongs and drums sounded on the stage, and the big play opened.
At this time, there was a mess behind the stage, and when Liang Kuan went to invite Bai Yulang and He Bufan, he searched around, but he couldn't find it at all, so he could only return.
"This big drama is about to start, and the two corners haven't come, how can this be played?"
The owner of the theater beat his chest angrily: "What can I do about this? What can I do about this? How will I open this theater in the future!"
Lin Shirong saw the boss crying, he felt very faceless, and said: "One person does things and one person is responsible, just let me go to the top of the stage!"
Liang Kuan looked at Lin Shirong in astonishment: "Brother, this is "The Legend of the White Snake", can you play that role?"
Lin Shirong is tall and fat, and when he walks, he arrives before his stomach arrives, and with his size, he is not suitable for the role he plays at all.
Lin Shirong said: "I will also sing two sentences of "The Legend of the White Snake", deal with this scene first, and then talk about something else!"
Liang Kuan said: "Okay?"
Lin Shirong said: "How do you know if you can't try it?"
So in the sound of gongs and drums, a "white snake" with a big belly holding a cigarette in his mouth wriggled from the backstage and walked to the stage.
Just this appearance shocked the audience.
After a long while, there was a bang under the stage.
"Pork Rong! Why did Pork Rong come on stage? How can this guy act if he doesn't sell pork?"
"It's bad, it's bad, the people of Foshan will have no meat to eat in the future, and Pork Rong has changed his career!"
The scene burst into laughter and scolding.
After the thirteenth aunt saw Lin Shirong on stage, she leaned back and smiled back, "Why did Shirong come to power?"
Huang Feihong looked embarrassed: "This Shirong, what kind of fame do you want to do?"
Li Xiake laughed: "This is "The Legend of the White Snake", this is obviously "The Legend of the Fat Snake"!"
