At night, when the Houping sounded, the deep humming sounded the official start of the performance.

A Bo temple has been transformed into an amphitheater, with square bells hanging from the pointed eaves. The breeze blows through, and the crisp sound is integrated into the music played by Houping.

Like other spectators, Peng Feibai sat cross-legged on the sandy soil. After being scalded by the sun during the day, it was still warm at night, so it was quite comfortable to sit on.Peng Feibai took advantage of the light on the stage to quickly write down everything he saw. Compared with the songs and dances he was used to seeing, the stage layout was quite simple: the background was a piece of cloth with dense forest flowers and plants, and a few hanging The white gauze and a few green leaves hanging from the roof props.

The sound craftsman was on the stage from the very beginning. Grandfather played hard on Houping. Next, Shengbo played the long sound, and mother-in-law played the long sound, imitating the sound of spring water. There was a sense of natural tranquility on the stage. Xu Jie and Sheng Niang, who are funny craftsmen, play at this time.

Xu Jie did not feel alienated and indifferent in the usual way. He showed a hearty smile and sang loudly: "Today~ I have a secret story for you all!"

"what!"

Peng Gafba works hard to write quickly.In fact, he didn’t know much about Shuniao Opera. He became interested only when he heard that this kind of opera was on the verge of disappearing. On the journey from Talgis to Wensang, he read a book about Shuniao Opera published 20 years ago. Books, know some things.The first line sung by Xu Jie is called the positive song, which was set up by She Wenniang, a master of Shuniao Opera. Because the repertoires of Shuniao Opera are all adapted from legends and secrets, this is the first line of the purpose of Shuniao Opera.

At the end of Xu Jie's aria, Sheng Niang raised her posture and sang affectionately: "There are women who come from the forest and smell the spring to find love. There are fairies who come from the wind and smell the spring to find love."

She is over half a century old, her singing voice is still sweet and crisp, but her appearance is no longer as beautiful as before, and the admiration of her youth has disappeared. Now, the audience will only comment in the audience that this funny singer who sings female lyrics is too old.Shengniang’s aria ended, and the three musical instruments chorused, playing a scene of jubilant birds in the forest. Three steady bird boys came on stage one after another, and let their little colts fly. The dazzling Wuban led the three Yiban to fly around the theater , causing a burst of exclamation.

At this time, Sheng Ze, who was dressed as a singing girl, came onto the stage holding a flower basket. She danced lightly and her skirt fluttered, keeping the people who were eager to leave the stage.After finishing the dance, Shengze sat on the stage with an extremely soft posture, smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the flower basket.

Changing the style of the song, Longsheng played a solo, and the Wenniao boys calmly recalled their little colts and left the stage quickly.She Luxi appeared as a fairy, unlike Shengze, she wanted to dance in the air, wearing a flower crown, light gauze and long sleeves, which was amazing.

When Peng Feibai was engrossed in watching the performance, suddenly there was some commotion around him, he turned his head to look, and found that it was Bai Bailin who ran out from the backstage looking for him.

"How about it?"

Bai Bailin was a little excited tonight, and his tone was very anxious, so he sat down next to Peng Feibai.

"Don't hide your flaws, Yu, why are you here?"

The pen in Peng Feibai's hand didn't stop, he didn't have time to confirm whether it was written neatly, so he just took notes quickly.

"It's too early for the next appearance—did you see Xiaobai just now?"

Bai Bailin didn't dare to ask him directly if he looked at him.

"You and Xiaobai cooperate very well." Peng Feibai stopped the pen in his hand, and poked Bai Bailin's round face with the pen holder. "I'm exhausted from writing, just so you're here, tell me what kind of story this tells."

Bai Bailin said in surprise: "I thought you were a veteran fan of Shuniao Opera."

"Ah."

Seeing that Peng Feibai did not answer directly, Bai Bailin didn't ask too many questions, and talked about the plot in a low voice: "The story of "Sniffing Spring" is very simple. It is the shortest performance in Shuniao Opera. It is the love between two fairies. They fell in love with a mortal woman, and the two immortals were jealous and jealous, and finally the mortal woman asked them to each bring a flower that they thought was the most fragrant in the sky, and she would be with the owner of that favorite flower."

After listening to it, Peng Feibai asked, "That's it?"

Bai Bailin replied blankly: "That's it, what do you want?"

"The story is too simple."

Bai Bailin hugged his knees and sighed: "This is one of the few plays we can perform. There are too many other requirements, and there are no male hanging dancers in the troupe. The Shangyu Troupe no longer has so much manpower and material resources to support it."

Peng Feibai put down his pen and fell into deep thought.

Playing bombs and singing on the stage, it was very lively, but the audience in the audience was scattered and deserted.Halfway through the performance, many young audience members left due to the sudden cold wind, leaving behind mostly middle-aged or old bird people who had watched Shuniao Opera in their childhood.Bai Bailin was very sad, he looked up at the night sky - the moon hung alone on it, with occasional thin clouds passing by, in his opinion, the cold moonlight exuded malice that foreshadowed separation.

After a long time, a loud cry startled everyone, and Bai Bailin and Peng Feibai returned their attention to the stage. At the end of the performance, Bai Bailin quickly stood up and ran backstage, ready to go on stage.

Xu Jie read the words representing sadness, and the two immortals played by She Luxi and Dai Nangu brought fairy flowers, but the mortal woman did not choose according to the agreement, but took the flowers and fled, rushing home to save the fairy flowers. dead lovers.The two immortals were heartbroken, still reluctant to hurt the woman, so they could only cry and return to the sky.

The Wenniao boys played for the second time. This time, the little foal birds only surrounded the two immortals played by She Luxi and Dai Nangu, and danced with them in the air for a while.

Taking advantage of this gap, Bai Bailin plucked up the courage to look at the audience—there were only a dozen people left, and most of them were getting impatient and ready to leave. At this moment, he saw Peng Feibai Waving at him, he couldn't help but smile happily.Seeing this, Shunzhi snorted coldly.Bai Bolin flinched, he knew that if Shunzhi seized the opportunity, he would definitely make fun of this incident.

Finally, the performance ended with Shengniang's weeping singing.

The night wind was too cold, the audience left quickly, and the Shangyu Opera Troupe did not have any celebration after the performance was successfully completed. All the members packed up the performance items in silence.

It was already late at night when everyone returned to the camp, Peng Feibai was tired and sleepy, and asked Bai Bailin to take him back to rest quickly, but when they were about to leave, they were stopped by Sheluxi.

"Xiaoyi, take your husband to Xiaolin's tent, Shengfu, and bring hot water to him in a while, Xiaolin, there is only one quilt in your place, you and I will get a new quilt to cover your husband."

"Okay! Sir, Xiao Lin's tent is over here."

Pigeon Zhongyi took Peng Feibai and left first, She Luxi took Bai Bailin's hand and went to his tent.

She Luxi pushed the twin sisters away, took out a big box and found a quilt she just bought in winter, but she didn't hand it to Bai Bolin immediately, but looked at him hesitantly.

Bai Bolin knew very well what She Luxi wanted to say, and said with relief: "Head, he's not like that kind of person, I think he's pretty good."

"How do you know he's not? You're still so young!" Sheluxi stood up, hugged Bai Bailin, and said in a low voice, "If he wants to do that kind of thing, don't be afraid, don't be patient, run out, run away If it doesn’t work, just call, at worst, don’t want that bird.”

"No, I can't let that bird go." Bai Bailin clenched his fists, "Leader, I have never dared to tell you why I was kicked out of the orphanage."

"What's wrong? Can't afford to support?"

"No, it's me. I secretly liked the dean and was driven away when he found out. So, I understand those things. If he wants to do it, I, I'm not afraid."

Bai Bailin pretended to be calm in his tone, but his body trembled involuntarily. She Luxi hugged him even tighter, and scolded: "Aren't you afraid of anything? We don't do stupid things! Do you know that?"

"Ah."

"Don't 'um', answer me!"

"know."

"Okay, let's go."

Bai Bailin picked up the quilt, and Sheluxi walked back to the tent with him.
