Chapter 1: Night Play
Midnight, dead silence.
The movement of the second hand of the clock on the wall can create a gripping sound. It was as if he were an invisible ghost, wandering in a forgotten corner, wandering restlessly, walking around as if he wanted to trample people's hearts.
No—no—there really was a "person" standing silently in front of Da Lei's bed. Her eyes glowed softly, staring wistfully at the snoring thunder. Da Lei's handsome face, a slightly immature temperament, that familiar silhouette......
Suddenly, she stretched out her hands tremblingly—
A pair of slender and cold hands gently and lovingly caressed the face of the big thunder in the whisper.
Da Lei woke up with a "cluck", reflexively fished his hands in the air, and the hands that caressed him slowly disappeared in the air like phantoms.
Lei subconsciously stretched his waist, breathed a long sigh of relief, and opened his eyes in a daze, Da Lei was subconsciously looking for the invisible hands just now.
Da Lei's double eyelids were beating violently and irregularly, and he rubbed them vigorously, but to no avail. He got goosebumps all over his body, and he got up again.
Woe, blessing, truth, falsehood?
Is it my hallucination? Why is it so real? Is it real? Why is it awake and I can't see.
Why? Da Lei asked himself. But these nights were full of goosebumps, something that had never happened before.
In the dark, on the gray ceiling, a pair of beautiful and deep eyes appeared from time to time, staring directly at Da Lei, as if they could see through Da Lei's body and soul.
Da Lei shook his head vigorously and rubbed his eyes. That's right, it's a water stain or a mold stain. But—
In the blink of an eye, the water-stained mildew turned into eyes again, bright and so familiar. Look closely, those eyes want to say goodbye, with a little sorrow and a little resentment. The vision was as unpredictable as fog, and the pupil was like a bottomless black hole.
The black hole opens its greedy mouth and devours everything around it in a frenzy.
The black hole emitted a huge magnetic force, and the thunder was almost sucked into the deep black hole.
Suddenly, a familiar drum sound penetrated Da Lei's ears, interrupting Da Lei's thoughts.
There are drums, suona, gongs, erhu and piano sounds...... The various sounds are played together, and there is a special taste.
The muscles on Da Lei's cheeks twitched a few times, and he secretly cursed: "Grandma, who is doing this in the middle of the night, it's really punctual, it's been this point for a few nights, and you don't let people sleep?"
Da Lei turned over and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside casually, wanting to check the time. Helpless, the phone didn't know if it was out of power or asleep, and after pressing it a few times, there was no response at all.
Da Lei bit his lip and said secretly in his heart: "Unlucky, when people want to carry it, they will stuff their teeth when they drink saliva." Throwing his phone down the messy bed, he decided to go out and see what was going on, and he must get to the bottom of the gongs and drums in the middle of the night.
You must know that Da Lei has been hearing this voice for several nights since he moved to this new house. The voice was fluttering and flickering, like a song and a cry, as if there was still nothing. But tonight, the voice was so clear that it seemed to be ringing in his ears.
The elevator has long been out of use, it may be that some residents have not paid the property fee, the elevator door is posted with a dilapidated maintenance notice, since the thunder moved in, I have not seen the elevator normal.
The entrance to the stairs is so dark. It seems that the darkness is endless, as if there is another world in the darkness.
The voice-activated light on the floor where Da Lei is located doesn't know when it broke. The lights on the lower floor were also poorly contacted, flickering and glowing ghostly.
Is there really a ghost hiding somewhere?
The cold wind blows the plastic bags hanging from the glass windows, and the "salad salad" sounds......
It was like a mournful call, and it was like a low moan.
The thunder is one foot deep, one foot shallow, and walks in the unmanned corridor.
Da Lei felt that someone was following him behind him, because he heard another slight footsteps, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anything.
Someone said, "If you can hear footsteps behind you, it is a sign that you are dying." ”
Da Lei's heart "thumped", and people comforted themselves at this time, it's okay, it's okay, it's all an illusion. He didn't even know how he got down the stairs. Da Lei stood downstairs for a moment, steadied himself, held his breath, turned his head, and discerned the source of the sound. Faintly heard drums coming from the north side of the community.
The Xinbei community where Da Lei lives is a new community, located in the northern suburbs of Jiangcheng City, which was a mass grave, that is, a cemetery, before liberation. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, it was bulldozed and turned into fertile land, and now it has been encircled by the development of business districts and built into a community.
The reason why Da Lei rents here, the picture is quiet here, the rent is not expensive, and it is not far from Jiangcheng University, the important thing is that Da Lei wants to settle down to study in graduate school, not to mention that it is convenient for his girlfriend Xiaoqian to stay here overnight.
The starlight was faint, and Da Lei took out a cigarette and cheered up his strong courage, which was a must.
The thunder lit it several times before the cigarette was lit.
There was no turning back from the bow, and since it was decided, Da Lei had no choice but to continue. He steadied himself and walked nervously towards the source of the sound.
Da Lei couldn't remember how far he had walked, and he saw someone setting up a stage and singing, and the stage was not high, about three feet. There was a crowd of people under the stage, sitting, standing, and watching the play, old and young, men and women. Da Lei was relieved, it is estimated that there is a family here to celebrate his birthday, please come to the theater to celebrate his birthday.
The custom of singing opera and celebrating birthday has a long history, especially in the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, red and white ceremonies, will invite opera troupes, these opera troupes are varied, all kinds of people have, singing, dancing, singing, acrobatics, magic and so on. What's more, they will invite two or more troupes to PK each other, so that they can show their talents across the sea, and see whose team has more audiences in front of them, is popular, and the host family will also give more rewards. For this reason, some theater troupes have thought of crooked ideas, such as striptease dancing or something, and those scantily dressed women, inviting the audience to the stage, doing their best to tease and tease.
Later, it was strictly investigated by the relevant departments, and these crooked ways were put an end to it.
What Da Lei watched today, no one wore linen and filial piety, and the song was more festive, so it must be a "red" thing.
Da Lei forgot the purpose of his trip for a while, got into the crowd, and squeezed to the front to stand down.
Everyone was concentrating on watching the play, and no one paid attention to him. What was staged on the stage was a Huaihai opera "Pi Xiuying's Four Notices". A few actors are on it, and what they sing is also right, Da Lei was born in northern Jiangsu, and he likes to watch Huaihai Opera since he was a child, and sometimes he can hum a few words, Da Lei always feels that Huaihai Opera is chewy than pop music.
Da Lei watched it with relish, and forgot his previous fears. Looking at it, this play came to an end, and then it was changed again.
Several actors carried props onto the stage, and the background of the play was changed to a red double happiness.
Da Lei thought to himself, is the last play "Three Worship Hall"? This play does not have too much plot. There was no one to announce the curtain, and a bride covered her hijab, supported by two maids, slowly walked to the middle of the stage. The maid narrated a few words, and it was the bride's turn to babble and sing: "You negative man, you have caused the slave family to wait for you for hundreds of years......"
Da Lei's goosebumps couldn't help but pop up again.
A cold wind blew, and the bride's red hijab was blown to the ground. Da Lei's eyes lit up, and he changed an ancient saying to "This woman should only be in heaven, and it is rare to see it once in the world." ”
Da Lei searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but he couldn't think of words to describe her.
The bride smiled lightly at Da Lei, and Da Lei's soul was about to be hooked out.
She simply stopped hijab, walked to the front of the stage, and began to sing again: "Don't you learn from Chen Shimei......"
Where is the word "Three Worship Halls"?
Could it be that she is playing Qin Xianglian?
The bride sang as she watched, her big watery eyes watched, and finally froze on Da Lei's face.
The four eyes are facing each other, and they can no longer be separated.
Da Lei was shocked, the bride's eyes are so familiar, where have I seen them? Could it be that she is singing insinuations?
Da Lei looked at the woman carefully, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her eyebrows swept lightly, and her eyes were full of delicacy. A cherry mouthful, full of temptation.
