【Sun and Moon】Playing with Dragons and Phoenixes

Chapter 10: Coming is Empty Words Going to Extinct

"Tan Fengqing, there is a message from above, you can't go out!" Tan Wuyu walked to the gate of the theater troupe, but was stopped by the porter. The doorman looked like he was watching a good show, and smiled lightly: "Anyway, there is no Did Di'er invite you to sing an opera?" Tan Wuyu was taken aback for a moment, and found that he was really trapped in many nets and could not be free. When I see him down and out, I have to stab him a few words to feel happy.

Talking about nothing but wanting to say more, he turned his head and walked back.In fact, even if he left the gate, he didn't know where he was going: his only friend, Gongsun Yue, was in Shanghai, and he couldn't quench his thirst far away; Good friendship, how can I ask someone to rescue me now?After thinking about it, he realized that his best friend, best friend, confidant, and favorite in the past 16 years of his life were actually that person. That person took up too much weight in his life, and it was so big that he felt terrified and horrified. .

Unknowingly, I walked to the small building where the theater troupe stored costumes, Tan Wuyu pushed open the door, and the cold wind poured into the room, blowing the costumes hanging to dry, like thousands of pictures of emperors, generals, ministers, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. The shell was staggering towards him... Wang Baochuan's No. 18 died as a queen, Li Fengjie never entered the palace to be a queen, Sun Shangxiang was finally driven back to Jiangdong, Yang Yuhuan hanged to death In Maweipo, everyone only talks about "Da Dengdian", "You Long Xi Feng", "Dragon and Phoenix Showing Prosperity", "The Drunken Concubine", and who cares about what happens after that?The drama always ends at the happiest and most glorious moment, and no one wants to see a miserable ending.Tan Wuyu's fingertips ran over the costumes, and on the deepest hanger he saw Du Liniang's shirt, with black, white and white oil paint on his shoulders, "Liu Mengmei will never fail Du Liniang", in fact, she did. Just lose it, and forget about it after the show.Tan Wuyu felt that he was also in a play, a play that had already sung the climax, and no one wanted to watch the following plays, and he didn't want to act again, so he just had to give an explanation to the person who sang the opposite play. After the explanation, let's leave early Alright, let's all clean up.

"Is someone here? Talking about Junior Brother, is it you?" The closed door was pushed open and locked again, Hou Xiaohua said with a grinning grin, "I just said, you will fall into my hands sooner or later!" Running around the house, "Say it to me again, 'Fengqing's hands are stupid', hey, I'm really going to be sick! Use your little clumsy hands today to make my brother feel good!" Seeing the snow-white The hem of the gown was right in front of him, Hou Xiaohua didn't care too much, and tore off the costumes around him while rushing, but before seeing Tan Wuyu's face, he felt a cold object sticking to his neck .

"Eldest brother, you'd better open the door, you go out, or I go out, or I'm afraid it won't be good for today's matter." Tan Wuyu held up the unsharp sword used on the stage in his hand, and held it firmly. The ground touched Hou Xiaohua's throat, Hou Xiaohua was startled, and then smiled lewdly and said: "Yo, it's so hot, I almost scared my brother to death! But don't be afraid, my dear, come, let my brother take a look at you, keep it safe." Immediately, it is harder than the Lao Shizi in your hand, and the storage will make you so careless that you forget what Su's real name is!" Hou Xiaohua split his hands to grab the sword, but when he pulled hard, the other party suddenly let go, he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground, holding the sword It flew straight out. "You don't have to drink a toast, you're fined wine! If you've had enough fun with me, why are you pretending to be arrogant!" Before he could get up while cursing, he was kicked on his chest again and rolled over several times.

"Hey, my mother, you fucking...fucking..." Hou Xiaohua leaned against the door and panted for a long time before recovering, he was so angry that he didn't dare to talk about Wuyu's body , I could only scold viciously: "You fucking sit next to Su Zhenzhen when you are singing, and you are also next to him on the bed. If you don't have him, you are just a fart. What are you!" On the lung tube, the anger flared up all of a sudden, walked over in three steps at a time, grabbed Hou Xiaohua's neck and crackled a dozen of his mouths, until Hou Xiaohua's face swelled up. Fingering high, he begged for forgiveness repeatedly, "Fuck, your hands are too dark, ah! Junior brother, boss Tan, hey! I'm the one who is mean, please forgive me, please forgive me! Hey!"

"People inside open the door!" Suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside, Hou Xiaohua hoped that the savior would come, and shouted: "Come in quickly, someone is dying!" Instead, he was locked in the room by Tan Wuyu and bullied.Tan Wuyu snorted coldly, threw him to the ground, and raised his hand to unlock the door. Seeing Hou Xiaohua's swollen face like a pig's head, the menacing people outside the door were terrified and stammered, "Tan... Tan Feng...Tan Boss, the people in the class are afraid that you will run away... let us lock you up, ah no, please go to the woodshed..." The two people outside the door said while looking at each other, Thinking that if you want to fight, you have to preemptively strike, otherwise you will inevitably have to be like Hou Xiaohua.

"Let's go." Tan Wuyu straightened his sleeves and collar, and walked towards the firewood room with a calm expression. The two behind him helped Hou Xiaohua, who was grinning in pain, and followed behind him step by step, just like a young master with three The servants are enjoying the scenery in the garden.It wasn't until the door of the firewood room was locked that Hou Xiaohua stiffened up again, covered his face and yelled at the firewood room: "Fuck, Tan Fengqing, I will remember you! I won't kill you, I'm fucking with your surname!" Then he turned his face to the two people guarding the door of the firewood room and ordered arrogantly: "Don't send food in, only allow him to drink the cold water in the tank!"

"It's not good...Eldest brother, if he starves to death, how can we explain it?" The gatekeeper was quite embarrassed.

"Do you dare not listen to my words? Besides, if he runs away by opening the door to deliver food, who can afford it? You, or you?" Seeing the gatekeeper's obedient nod, Hou Xiaohua said triumphantly, "Hungry for three days, let him No matter how powerful you are, you can't be at my mercy?"

Tan Wuyu has been hungry all day and all night, and he always feels glistening and tired, and he dare not sleep too deeply at night, for fear that someone will sneak in while he is asleep and do some nasty things.He leaned drowsily by the woodpile, his stomach seemed to be worn out, and the more he drank cold water, the more it hurt, and he had an illusion in a trance, as if the previous life of four plates and eight bowls never existed However, it is a big dream to be sought after by all the people and to be echoed by everyone. Even Su Zhenzhen is just his imagination and does not exist at all, so he doesn't have to think about it. With a "creak", the door of the firewood room was opened, and the night wind swept in. Tan Wuyu shivered, and opened his eyes on guard, only to see Xiao Xifu sneaking into the house with a bag on his back.

"Brother Tan..." Xiao Xifu knelt down in front of him, seeing Tan Wuyu's thin clothes and pale face, he said bitterly, "They are so cruel!" He hurriedly took off his cotton jacket and covered him, and put He took out the steamed buns in the bag, "Just eat some, it's not comparable to the previous dishes, at least don't starve your stomach." Tan Wuyu took the cold steamed buns, the word thank you stuck in his throat, he couldn't say anything . "I squatted outside the door for half the night, and only sneaked in after the gatekeeper went to the toilet. I couldn't stay long." Hearing the voice outside the door, Xifu turned around and said, "I have to go now, and I will give you Thinking about it!" Tan Wuyu grabbed his sleeve, and said with trembling lips, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xifu..." Xifu was taken aback, his face turned red instantly, and he whispered: " You still tell me this, you don't know how I treat you, I treat you..." He mustered up his courage and leaned forward to kiss Tan Wuyu on the face, and then ran out of the chai without daring to look back. house.After a while, Tan Wuyu slowly raised his hand and touched his cheek, then looked at the steamed bun in his hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.He gnawed on the cold and hard steamed buns, feeling that life was really impermanent as the Buddhists said, or to use a new term, it was really absurd.

However, since Su Zhenzhen returned to his hometown, he has been writing letters and sending telegrams to Tan Wuyu every three days. Don't care if there is no reply, just enjoy yourself.As soon as the winter solstice was over, he wanted to go back to Beijing, but Mrs. Su stopped him angrily, saying that he wanted him to wait until after the festival, and it would be better to walk around every house during the Spring Festival. When the young girls reach the age of leaving the court, they all want to look at each other. Don't worry about the theater troupe. They have already sent a letter to Fourth Master Lei, saying that they will be engaged to him and can't go back before the Spring Festival.Su Huanzhen secretly thought that something was wrong, and quickly said that he had already had a crush on him, and that he would never marry someone other than Qing in this life, and would never go on a blind date.Mrs. Su was both surprised and delighted, and asked which family she was from.Su Zhenzhen hugged his mother's arm and acted coquettishly. He only said that he hadn't agreed to it yet, and he couldn't say it.A few days later, Su's mansion received a telegram, and before it was delivered to Su Huanzhen, Mrs. Su's personal maid saw it at the concierge, and hurriedly reported to the mistress, saying that a letter had come from Beijing to urge the young master. go back.How could Mrs. Su be willing!He ordered the telegram to be hidden, and all letters will not be delivered or sent to him in the future, so that the young master can wait until the departure date.Who knew that the mother's love for her son would cause such a big disturbance.

Su Zhenzhen returned home like an arrow, and hurried on the road wearing stars and moons, and finally returned to Beijing three days after the Great Cold.He was thinking as he walked to the troupe, today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still ten days before singing the box-sealing opera, the younger brother should wait!Thinking of Tan Wuyu's look of surprise and joy but pretending to be calm when he saw him, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up.Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Qin Yanfang's small courtyard, there was no one in the courtyard. He was startled and wondering, when he saw a person running towards this side with his head bleeding.

"Young master! It's really you, this is great! Hurry up and save Junior Brother Tan!" The person who came was Xiao Xifu, and he didn't care about the bloody wound, he dragged Su Zhenzhen and ran to the woodshed.

"What's wrong with Wuyu? Where's Master Qin?" Su Zhenzhen's scalp became tense for a while. He was always restless these days, and he always dreamed about talking about Wuyu. , I felt chills all over my body.

"You don't know, wow, Master Qin is dead! No... Brother Tan is so anxious that his throat is broken!"

This remark was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, Su was so shocked that he almost stumbled, and suddenly thousands of thoughts turned in his mind: Master Qin is dead?what happened?How come no one told him?He recalled that before he left, Qin Yanfang had pulled him to say a lot of personal things, and said that when he came back to put on a good show together, it would definitely be well received and well received, so why didn't they disappear?What happened to Wuyu's voice?Why not ask someone to treat it?Why is the softness in the yard gone?Why did Xifu say to ask him to save Junior Brother Tan?What kind of crime did Wuyu suffer?The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I couldn't figure out why it was so complicated, Su Zhenzhen just wanted to know Tan Wuyu's situation at this time, and asked anxiously: "Where is Wuyu, what did they do to him? "

"They locked Junior Brother Tan in the woodshed for three days, without food! Just now, senior brother brought several people in and said that he must do it for him today, and that he would be sold to the hall! When I refused to let me go, they beat me up and kicked me out. I begged everywhere and no one dared to help. Fortunately, I saw you, or else...or else..."

Hearing this, Su really felt that the blood all over his body was hitting his head, and the anger on his forehead was so hot that it would overturn the Tianling Gaier, and the eye sockets were scorching hot. The smell of blood, how can I care about happiness?He strode quickly to the firewood room, kicked open the door, and saw two people fell to the ground in embarrassment at the door, and the other three were also hanged, pressing down on Tan Wuyu and tearing his clothes. "You guys are so brave!" Su Zhenzhen threw one person to the wall, then kicked another person in the back. The third person was taken aback, and just as he was about to escape, he let him choke his neck , I was so frightened that I shook like chaff.Everyone saw that he was full of hostility, his eyes were red with hatred, and he looked like an impermanent who wanted to kill them. He wanted to skin them, cramp them, and tear them into pieces. They were so panicked that they lay on the ground without breathing.When had Hou Xiaohua seen the Shaodong family who was always smiling so angry and his eyes were about to tear apart, knowing that this time he really broke ground on Tai Sui's head and caused a catastrophe.

"Ah...it's really you..." Tan Wuyu raised his hand and touched Su Huanzhen's face. He hadn't eaten enough and couldn't sleep for the past three days. Struggling, suddenly hearing Su Huan's real voice was a bit unbelievable, and it was only at this moment that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wuyu, brother is late... but where is it hurt?" Su Zhenzhen pressed his cold hand, his heart ached to ooze blood, seeing his snow-white gown stained with dust and blood and torn into pieces One was hanging on the body, and the cotton jacket was torn, and the cotton wool was flying all over the room.

Tan Wuyu shook his head lightly, slowly closed his eyes, and leaned his head on his senior brother's shoulder, feeling extremely tired, extremely sleepy, extremely tired, he didn't want to stay in this room for a moment, he just wanted to have a good sleep, He said in a raving voice: "Su...let's go..."

Su Zhenzhen covered him with his cloak and stood up with his arms around him, without looking at Hou Xiaohua, who kowtowed like garlic, hugged his junior brother tightly and walked out of the firewood room.

Come is empty talk, go extinct, there are many mountains and rivers.

When people go to the balcony, the flowers are blooming, but when people return, the mandarin pillow is empty.

It's rare to find a courteous blue bird, but you can't meet a book-swallowing koi.

The world of mortals has changed like a horse, can it be said that we are in love?
