Chapter 41: Fanwai eighty years ago

As soon as Qi Shejiang woke up, he felt that he was not quite right. Those under his body were hard-eyed, and his eyes were dark. There was no light at all.
This feels strange and familiar, which makes Qi Shejiang almost think it is a dream.
Until the next moment, a voice sounded, "Wajiang, light up the lamp."
This was clearly Master's voice. Qi Shejiang paused, and it wasn't until Master kicked his leg that he reacted.
Qi Shejiang got up from the bed and was horrified in his heart. Did he go back to the past, and it was when Master was not dead yet?
Even if he felt dark, Qi Shejiang knew where his things were located. He touched the lamp on the bed and lit it. There was a trace of nostalgic electric light in my heart.
Not everyone can afford electric lights now, Master ’s house does n’t even need foreign lamps, which is a match. This one is made of wooden sign and sulfur soil.
Qi Shejiang touched the black spot to set up the kerosene lamp, and saw the dim light, Master's dry but spirited face appeared in front of his eyes, his heart throbbed, and he quietly stung himself.
Great, it's true!
What year is it? If you avoid it in advance, later events will not happen, and the master, brother, and sister will survive.
Wait, Sister-in-law passed away very early, but one daughter, the sister-in-law, and the other brother-in-law, should have lived in Master ’s house. Why is it so quiet?
Also, what about the original time and space, what should Zhang Yue do? Is it here to work hard and wait until Zhang Yue is born? Qi Shejiang was a little overwhelmed.
The master said, "Wash up, let's go to your brother's house."
Qi Shejiang: "..."
Brother Shi? ? Just kidding, isn't he the master's biggest disciple, the master of the master?
Qi Shejiang was confused to fetch water, but he saw that he looked young in the reflection, still his original face, but seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.
He learned the crosstalk after he closed the position. At this time, he had not yet started his teaching, which was later than some people from elementary school, but his level was not behind.
Master counted some copper plates and installed them, saying in the mouth: "Your master still has support for the disease, and the second master has lost his leg. The younger brother and sister are still young. Tighten the belt for a few days. "
There are two older brothers?
Qi Shejiang responded vaguely and wondered what was going on, but his mind was empty.
After packing, the master heated the noodles again and ate one with Qi Shejiang. The rest was packed and went out together. When the sky was clear, I went to a house.
Qi Shejiang recognized this place, this should be the home of his younger brother.
When Master knocked on the door, she came tall and thin, with a pair of smiling eyes, clearly Meng Mengda, but it seemed a little ...
"Master, brother." Meng Mengda shouted.
Qi Shejiang: "..."
This world is so crazy, both Master and Brother are fine, but Brother becomes his Master? He said watching his brother look older than himself.
...
"We are really useless. You will not be filial piety. You, the uncle and your brothers and sisters will take care of me. My illness is still not good, and my second child has fallen again." Meng Mengda said tears.
The parents of his family have gone, and he has younger brothers and younger sisters to raise. He usually goes on stage to perform with his second-grader partner. After a long life, he earns a lot of food and clothing, and starves from time to time.
When I was injured before, the second division was carrying it. Now the second division is injured and can only be remedied by the division, but it is not easy for anyone. Both the uncle and the uncle have dragged their mouths.
The master is alone, but the younger brother has not yet graduated, and it is also when the meal is large. All four of them were squeezed out of their teeth to make Meng Mengda feel ashamed.
"Okay, don't say so much. You are now injured, sick, and there are two dolls, no one can take care of them. I called Shejiang every meal to cook for you." Master is responsible. They have eaten. Not to mention that these two apprentices are like half of their own, it is a common matter that they have a big deal, and they will help each other. Jianghu artists are not easy to take care of each other.
The second elder brother, that is another former student of Qi Shejiang, has no one in Mengda's family, and has been living in the home of his elder brother and partner. He also said sadly: "It's too hard for you! Hey, Master, my brother and I can't do the work, and the land is mainly rented out to others. If we suffer like this, it will be difficult to live if we get sick! Live, How can it be so difficult! "
When they go out to sell art, they can't just talk about finding a piece of land. The land has its owner, especially those lively areas, which are all in order. Only by renting the land with the landlord can we perform in this area. Everyone wants to rent a good place.
They occupied a lot of land before, and there were a lot of people. If someone rents it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rent such a good land in the future.
Master, and the disciples were not performing at the same place, and they had rented land themselves, unable to help occupy it. Other colleagues have their own circumstances, and it is impossible to demolish others to speak alone, just to help them occupy land.
Qi Shejiang already knows the situation so far. In this upside-down world, he is a young master, and today the elder brother Meng Mengda and the second master have encountered difficulties.
He would like to comfort his brother and sister, don't be depressed, it is difficult to live, but if you stick to it, as long as you stick to the new society, you are an old artist.
...... Unfortunately, this cannot be said casually.
"Teacher ... Teacher, otherwise I'll talk to you on the ground." Qi Shejiang said, everyone looked at him.
"You kid, what a joke." Master frowned.
"That's better, Master. Just give me a little rent. I'll try it for a day!" Qi Shejiang also saw that the situation was urgent and could not bear it. He couldn't just watch Master and Master in front of himself again. Get into trouble.
Master frowned, the apprentice also learned a few pieces of work, but he didn't use the work alone, but he measured a few short sections. But the apprentice has a background in Peking opera, has sung in the field, and has learned some famous artists, which is also very popular.
At this juncture, should we let him try it?
Not to mention, just give it a try. If it fails, others say that he is not a good believer.
Master took Tong Zi'er and rented Qi Shejiang, saying, "Then you can try it out, if you can make your own money back, that's fine."
...
...
Chengcheng Shenglong Street.
There are many libraries, tea houses and theaters here, and it is one of the great places for performing arts in the city.
Qi Shejiang found the landlord, clearly identified his identity, and the other side weighed the money and said, "This is for one day. It was not in accordance with the rules, but I know what is going on with you now, so I can acquaint you once."
If Qi Shejiang couldn't stand still, after today, the land would be rented to others.
Seeing that Qi Shejiang is young, the landlord is not very optimistic. His two elder brothers have spent a lot of time standing firm here. He is a young boy and wants to keep his elder brother to hold the ground. Is it easy?
There are people who buy art every few minutes on the street. When Qi Shejiang stood on the ground holding his Sanxian, some idle artists noticed him.
Qi Shejiang usually followed the master at another place. Some people felt embarrassed and wanted to go up and ask about the history with Dangkaner (lingo), and they were caught by good eyesight. He signaled that this was Zhou Gangzi's young apprentice, and his younger brother, stage name Menda.
Zhou Gangzi is Master's nickname.
Although Qi Shejiang has teachers and teachers, many people actually like this land, and artists who have a good relationship with Meng Mengda are even better. Those who have a bad relationship look at Qi Shejiang with a critical eye.
It's not appropriate for peers to cheer up and plan, but if Qi Shejiang plays down, let alone the audience, they are the first to coax people.
Qi Shejiang prepared himself, as if he didn't know that many people were looking at himself.
Qi Shejiang sang three strings and sang, "The Han Dynasty declined to filial piety, and the wasteland in the world is not very peaceful. Landslides are catastrophic, and there are hens turning into males in the world. The black shades in the Wende Hall and the green in the Jade Emperor Hall Hong. The thieves have yellow scarves just because of the ten regular servants. "
What kind of show is being performed in front of what kind of audience.
This is more than 80 years ago. Everyone's pastime is to listen to plays and books. Movies are not for everyone to see. Quyi is the art form with the widest audience. Too many people will appreciate it.
In modern times, Qi Shejiang sings his children's books. To excite the audience, they must excerpt the most brilliant passages in "10 Questions and 10 Answers".
But now, from the beginning of "10 Questions and 10 Answers", he entered Cao and began to sing slowly.
This story was lost in the big drum, and Qi Shejiang sang here. People passing by may hear the story of "Ten Questions and Ten Answers". They may not know much about the children's books. After all, no one is performing. But they like to hear the stories of Guan Yu and Diao Chan.
What Journey to the West, the Three Kingdoms, has been a popular IP for many years now.
Coupled with Qi Shejiang's nice string and the charm in his voice, a short while later, he had surrounded a dozen individuals.
"... I envy you for breaking down the soldiers and generals in Hebei, and laughing and cutting Yan Liang in the army. What Fan Fan was born again, the monarch was not as serious as the pupils. Until now the ugly and violent come again to commit crimes, it is necessary to return Fu Huwei to rebel. . "
This section is not as intense as the Allegro in the back, but Qi Shejiang used the vocal tunes of the children's books to find the moon at the bottom of the sea. Although ten slow boards, it also requires great skill.
"it is good!!"
I only heard the crowd's applause after the crowd, and the audience who took it to the front also clapped their hands. Those passing by were attracted by the applause. They also stopped to listen and see what a good show was.
After Qi Shejiang looked up at the crowd, he nodded slightly. My heart is like a mirror, and I just took the lead to applaud, not others, but the street performers who stared at him and wanted to grab the land!
Qi Shejiang showed a hand, these people are all insiders, and I can hear Qi Shejiang's ability.
I didn't expect this kid to be very young, but he has high hands, good strings, and deep singing skills. He can also hear the essence of Peking opera.
These colleagues were convinced to take their mouths, not only to stop looking for differences, but also to look at them differently, to support him, to yell at the joints, to help heat up the atmosphere and attract passers-by.
This is the money over slaves, the art over pedestrians! It is also the hidden rule of the rivers and lakes artists!
...
Qi Shejiang sang a long paragraph, and many people were surrounded in front of him. After collecting money once, he switched to a stand-up cross talk.
He spoke cola, and the audience stayed to listen.
Speak for a while, sing for a while, be regarded as beautiful today, the wind is beautiful, Qi Shejiang said all morning, although the mouth was dry, but the audience did not run, knocked a few times, everyone saw that he was not old, level It ’s good.
Qi Shejiang did the math, and earned him four or five hundred bronzes. He was very pleased with his heart. When he came, he figured it out by the way. The current "exchange rate", such copper, is almost equal to more than one dollar.
This is a long way back. The rent and meals are not a problem, and not only their own meals, but also Mengda's meals are earned. A young man eats for a day, that is, twenty or thirty copper children. Of course, of course, we must add other living expenses, such as rice, oil, salt, vinegar tea, and everything. It's just that Qi Shejiang can help to get up.
Qi Shejiang's bottom line is calculated. Now he's going to have a meal. He has only one person, no one is on the stage. In the afternoon, he has to recruit customers again. If the situation is good, you can earn another two or three hundred copper children.
If you go to Yaoyao at night and make more money, you can subsidize medical expenses. How can my mentor get better without taking medicine.
Although the masters and brothers have all become his masters now, in Qi Shejiang's heart, they still treat them as children, thinking about hard work for a while, and curing the masters and brothers.
Qi Shejiang was thinking, but saw that the landlord came out of the tea house next to him, beckoned him, and Qi Shejiang passed by, and the landlord pointed to a flowing man next to him: "Hey, this is Wu Boss Brother Brother. The old lady Wu took a birthday and gave your brother a post. I said that your brother was staying at home. Now you are saying that the post is the same for you. "
Although Qi Shejiang doesn't have any "Boss Wu" in his memory, he knows that it is probably the gangster of Juncheng City. The so-called post about life is just a way of collecting money.
If they are rivers and lakes entertainers, if they do n’t give money and people come to make trouble, the audience will disperse, and they wo n’t make any money, not just paying money obediently.
The man thought that Qi Shejiang was young, and when he came out to perform for the first time, he didn't understand the rules there. He said, "Our godmother lives, and my little brother just gives me two."
Qi Shejiang is not ignorant, but hesitating.
This person said very simple, two pieces, which is a lot of family members' picks for a few days, a decent job, only a few dollars in a month. And he was sweating just now, so he easily earned more.
To put it this way, when it comes to the evening today, it is estimated that it is just enough to pay the money, and the rest of the meal is not bad.
The joy of making money just disappeared. Qi Shejiang held his pockets and didn't want to agree. For the current family, this money is too important. Alas, although I can see Master and Brothers again, the environment today is really terrible.
"What's wrong, boy?" The little hooligan will also watch and watch. When he looks at Qi Shejiang's expression, his face changes, and he reaches out to pin his placket. Still want to sell art in the city? "
Qi Shejiang had to stand on his feet, and before he said anything, he saw a hand reaching out from the ear to the hooligan. One hand was down, the main point was that he held a black lance in this hand, and the muzzle was firmly against the hood of the hooligan.
The hooligan's legs were all soft, raised his hands, and moved his face without daring to move, his nose was coming down: "Large, big, uncle ..."
In the city, there are not many people who can shoot guns on the street and point at people casually.
Is it lucky today that he was rescued by a noble person.
Qi Shejiang turned to see the man's face, but was almost overwhelmed by surprise.
Zhang Yue? Why is Zhang Yue here? !!
Qi Shejiang thought a lot for a while, and now he is not the modern appearance. Did Zhang Yue recognize him? Or is it just a coincidence, but it looks similar?
I saw this man with Zhang Yue's face, but wearing a suit, said to the hooligan viciously, "Who the are you threatening?"
Qi Shejiang: ... that Zhang Yue is right!
