Weird recovery, I can't hide my god's identity

Chapter 44

Xie Feifan felt like he had been idle for a long time.

Although it's actually been less than a week, I still feel uncomfortable.Maybe it was because I was too busy before, rushing to the field non-stop, but after I was free, I was not used to it.

When he told Zhao Yi this idea, he was scolded by the big brother with a smile: "Are you a bitch?!"

you do not say!

As a master of tricks, of course I hope to have as much leisure as possible, and only when I am sick will I come up with tasks.

But that's all.

"A strange signal has been detected, number 0759083, energy level B, located in the Cultural Building of Fenjie Village, Xinfeng Town, Orange County. Please go to this destination for containment."

Message from command center.

The three people who stayed in Orange County gathered for the first time.

Li Yaoguo looked solemnly: "Have you received everything?"

The two nodded quickly.

Turtle, see B-level again, how can there be so many B-level weirdness in this small place in Orange County?

Li Yaoguo: "B-level tricksters, this time I will lead the team, you should protect yourselves, remember, you are not allowed to act without my order."

The two said awe-inspiringly, "Understood!"

For a B-level task, if there is no corresponding level of tricksters in the front, they are just two chickens, and they will only have to die.

Just like the last time at Luosi Hotel.

……

Boundary Village.

It is located at the boundary between Xinfeng Town of Orange County and Suibei Town of Suicheng County, hence the name Fenjie Village.

Fenjie Village is not small, relying on provincial roads, it has evolved into a very lively fair in the past few years, from kindergartens to middle schools, from express delivery points to gas stations to small processing factories.

Compared with the front of the village, the back of the village is a little deserted.

It is no different from most rural areas, lacking young faces, mostly left-behind old people and children.Walking on the country road, I occasionally hear ducks quacking or dogs barking from unknown houses.

Fenjie Village used to have a very famous thing called puppet show, which has a history of more than 300 years since its birth.The locals often call it Baixi, doll opera, and ghost opera.

It is called Baixi because most of it is sung in the local vernacular, it is called doll opera because puppetry is called doll in the local dialect, and it is called ghost opera...

One way of saying is that puppets are like humans, and ghosts and gods live in them.

There is another way of saying that people on stage are performing, but those in the audience are not only watching, there may be other things mixed in and applauding loudly.

Why do you say it was famous before?

With the development of the economy, the changes of the times, and the diversification of entertainment methods, traditional arts such as puppet shows have gradually withdrawn from the public eye.Just like going to the countryside to show movies in the past, now occasionally people invite puppet troupes to perform on the birthdays of village gods.The grand occasion where the whole village, old and young, went to the theater together is no longer there.

Without food, no one is willing to learn it. This skill is becoming more and more deserted. It is estimated that it will not be long before the inheritance will be cut off.

Nowadays, the well-known Jinguang Puppet Show, which keeps up with the trend, is also a kind of puppet show.It's just that they abandoned the traditional palm puppets and used larger puppets to perform.

Ordinary niche local puppet shows, such as the stick puppet show in Fenjie Village, may not be able to go this way.

Even if it is a national intangible cultural heritage.

……

No one wants to learn to sing in puppet show, and the same is true for puppet making.

Making puppets pays attention to one that meets the needs of the plot. Different characters have different identities, statuses, and personalities.

The specific process is from material selection, carving head blanks, hand assembly to polishing, painting, and configuration of costumes and props. Every step must be sloppy.

It is so cumbersome and cannot be machined.The cost cannot be reduced, and the quality is difficult to increase.

Good puppets cost thousands, which is not affordable for local grass-stage theater troupes. Ordinary puppets are of poor quality, and more and more people don't want to watch them, leading to a vicious circle.

Fenjie Village no longer knows how to make puppets, and there are not many who can sing puppet shows.

Next to the Cultural Building.

The three of Li Yaoguo stood in the shape of a character outside the gate of the courtyard.

After hesitating for a while, after confirming that the target location was correct, Li Yaoguo looked at the half-closed wooden door, stepped forward to knock on it, and then pushed it open.

In the yard, an old lady with gray hair stopped her hands and looked at them suspiciously.

In his hand is a puppet that is being made, and next to it are materials such as head blanks and clothing, and there are also puppets that have already been made. They look good in quality and lifelike.

Li Yaoguo was slightly startled, bowed and said, "Grandma, excuse me, are you alone at home?"

The old lady smiled kindly: "That's right, I'm the only one, what's the matter with you youngsters?"

The three walked into the courtyard, taking everything around them into their eyes calmly.

Li Yaoguo didn't dare to relax his vigilance, his eyes fell on the head blank in the old lady's hand: "Are you making a puppet?"

"Yes, I am a puppet maker. I have been in this business for many years. I have been learning from my dad since I was ten years old. I made my first puppet when I was 12 years old. When I was 17 years old, my dad said that I had surpassed At that time, the puppet troupe of the entire Qinlian Mansion came to me to order puppets."

Speaking of the past, the old lady spoke proudly and smiled.

Li Yaoguo and Zhao Yi shrank their pupils.

"It's a pity that I'm getting old now, my eyes are not working well, and I don't have much energy. I can't take so many orders. Of course, there are fewer puppet show singers now, and from time to time I can hear that a troupe has disbanded again." , everyone can only find another way to make a living. Naturally, no one will come to me to be a puppet."

The old lady sighed and babbled.

The last sentence seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be asking the three people who broke in: "Why is no one watching puppet shows now?"

Xie Feifei replied subconsciously: "It's normal. Now that there are so many entertainment methods, such as movies, TV novels and short videos, young people don't have to do anything with a mobile phone every day. How can they calm down and listen to such obscure things."

But seeing Li Yaoguo glared at him fiercely, he reacted and shrank his neck.

The old lady was in a daze: "Sure enough, I am old and can't keep up with the ideas of you young people. I don't understand what you are saying, eh."

Zhao Yi said aloud: "In fact, there are still people who are willing to listen and learn, but not as many as before. The country is so big and there are so many people, there will always be people who are interested in these things. And puppet shows have been listed as non- The government has been helping to promote the list of tangible cultural heritage."

"is it?"

The old lady's eyes became brighter, and her kind smile reappeared: "That's good, that's good...as long as there are people who remember the puppet show, and there are still people who are willing to sing the puppet show..."

"He, he just met me because he likes puppet shows. At first my dad didn't want to teach him, so he stole the lessons by lying on top of the wall. After being scolded by my dad a few times, he still kept on with a playful smile on his face. My dad couldn't help it. I had no choice but to pretend that I didn’t see it. Seeing his sincerity later, I decided to take him in as an apprentice and teach him to sing and make puppets. But he is clumsy and his work is not as good as mine. "

"Who is he?"

"It's my man."

"Right now he……"

"I went to fight devils. I followed the group of South Road Fourth Regiment and Third Company. I left a long time ago. I have been there for a long time. I don't remember. I promised to come back, but I haven't seen him back for so many years. I don't know if he was outside with him. Others are fine."

"no!"

Li Yaoguo was moved and interrupted subconsciously.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the old lady, he twitched his lips: "He is not a deserter, let alone a heartbreaker...he is a hero!!"

The four regiments and three companies fought from Qinlian Mansion to Gaoyao, then transferred to Xipu, and entered the small country in the south.The original intention was to cooperate with the large army to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the party, but unexpectedly encountered a large army counterattack...

None came back alive.
