No.18 Years of Waking of Insects

Lu Jinghong saw Cai Hua following the route that Yu Sanniang had just left, and then turned around and went upstairs with a heavy heart.

He took off his top hat in annoyance, his long hair fell down, and when he walked to the stairs on the second floor, he saw the man who was supposed to be lying on the bed to recuperate, but was standing at the stairs with a pale face.

Lu Jinghong wondered, wasn't this person seriously injured and given a pot of wine, why did he stand up alive at this moment?

He stood still and didn't know how to speak, he behaved just like he treated Yu Sanniang just now, he was principled and did not exceed the rules.It's really not his usual style to save people. As for why he saved him, he doesn't know in his heart.But on the other hand, the inexplicable things he has done over the years are not bad.

Finally, he still had to break the embarrassment and silence that filled the air: "You were injured, and... I drank alcohol, and your body is still weak. You should go back and lie down."

The man raised his eyes to look at him, and said a few words slowly: "So it was you who gave me the wine."

Lu Jinghong deeply felt his resentment, and immediately said: "If you don't drink alcohol, your corpse is lying in the police station right now. If you drink alcohol, at least you still have a chance of being alive."

The man Mo Shen's eyes darkened, and he said, "Thank you." Then he passed him and walked downstairs.

Lu Jinghong thought he was going to leave, and was about to stop him, but saw him stop in front of the scroll on the wall on the first floor, looking at it seriously for a long time.

"I drew these for the guests. Every time I paint their skins, I will paint a picture of them maybe ugly or old. I want to give them a gift after painting the skins to commemorate my past appearance. It's a pity that no one is willing to accept it. In the eyes of their next past selves, they only have illusions and longings for the future."

When Lu Jinghong saw that it was the first time that someone could appreciate his paintings so seriously, he unknowingly said many things that he had never said before.

"Fansi" is a painting shop because of these hundreds of painting scrolls.But even though it is a painting shop, there are no customers, the only one there is a woman who asks for a painting.

"You draw very well." The man walked slowly past each painting, his low and hoarse voice was soft and slow, "The paintings showed their dissatisfaction and disgust with themselves, as well as their hatred and resentment towards this world. .”

Hearing what he said, Lu Jinghong suddenly felt that after wandering around the world for so many years, he could really meet someone with the same path.

"Your Mandarin is good, northerner?" he asked tentatively.

"Tibetan." The man didn't hesitate, as if everything about himself was not a mystery, "Toyosaki Liangshu lived in Beiping since childhood."

"Then..." Lu Jinghong thought for a while, and decided to ask clearly, "Why are you being hunted down by the people from the Supervision Office? Are you really what they call a 'disruptive party member'?"

"Basically, it's a character who opposes gongdang anyway." There was an unexplained smile in his eyes, "Isn't it disgusting and damnable to work for the Japanese?"

Seeing that he suddenly asked himself, Lu Jinghong paused and replied: "No, the Japanese should be the ones who are truly hateful. To sacrifice their lives for them is just to save their own lives. People live in this world, and there are difficulties."

After the man finished listening, he looked at Lu Jinghong carefully again, and suddenly said, "I'm tired."

Then walked back to the guest room on the second floor.

Lu Jinghong watched him go away, the air suddenly became strange and quiet again, he seemed to have said something right...

In the evening, Cai Hua hurried back with two baskets of vegetables, and then rushed into the kitchen in the backyard to start cooking dinner.

Lu Jinghong leaned on the kitchen threshold and praised his virtuousness, and then asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Cai Hua just picked off the scales of the fish, and replied: "No. Boss, I don't think that Sanniang's lover exists at all. I asked several girls from Qinghuanmen, and they all said that they had never seen or heard of it. people."

"Maybe he's hiding somewhere and it's not easy to show up." Lu Jinghong thought about it.

Next, after a peaceful meal, Lu Jinghong mentioned to Cai Hua the fact that Toyosaki woke up in the afternoon. After hearing this, Xiao Hua held the bowl and laughed: "Haha, boss, he feels that he is here to let you go." It is better to turn yourself in than to waste your life."

Lu Jinghong's face darkened, he pushed the soup bowl in front of him, and said, "Bring him some raw fish soup, so he won't be hungry."

Xiaohua immediately trembled twice, slapped the strong smell of Chinese medicine in front of her with her hands in disgust, and said: "Boss, why are you making things difficult for others, that Mr. Toyosaki finally had hope of living, you This tossing again..."

"If you don't shut up, I'll pour the whole bowl of soup down for you, and I'll torture you to death first."

Seeing Lu Jinghong's gritted teeth and fierce gaze, he obediently shut his mouth.

In this way, in November in Rongcheng, on the night of the 21st, Tsing Yi House reopened.Outside the theater, spectators still come and go like a waterfall.

Lu Jinghong left Cai Hua in the shop to watch the door, and then took Toyosaki to Tsing Yi She, saying that he would take him to visit his "savior".

"My life is both yours and his. Wouldn't it be troublesome to repay the kindness." Toyosaki sat in the crowd casually and said.

Lu Jinghong smiled and asked back: "You are not a girl, are you afraid that one woman will serve two husbands at the same time?"

Toyosaki suddenly glanced at him sullenly, and said nothing.

"Hey, are you really impatient to live!" Suddenly there was a quarrel at the entrance of the lobby.

"I, Song Yang, don't think that An's life is too much. I want to go to see my ancestors first, and you, a mad dog who only knows how to use others, will go first."

"Hehe, the second son of the Song Mansion is amazing? Don't rely on yourself having an elder brother who is a supervisor, you can..." The middle-aged man suddenly yelled, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts..."

Song Yang let go of his left hand that was pressing on his arm, patted the man's face, and said: "Don't think that everyone is like you, after all, there are quite a few servants of the Huo family who are as powerful as you, but they can be so shameless People who molested others in public, and then bit me back, are really rare."

"You!" The man threw off his hand and cursed, "It's none of your business what I'm doing, you might as well go to the brothel and pay off your romantic debt if you have this spare time!"

"They are all people looking for flowers and willows, why bother to hurt their friendship here because of those flowers and tender willows." Lu Jinghong walked towards the two of them and said with a smile.

The man looked at Lu Jinghong: "Boss Lu, today's matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

"The matter between you has nothing to do with me, but making trouble in this Tsing Yi house disturbs everyone's mood, so what if I don't like it?" Lu Jinghong shook his folding fan, every time he came here, he always met some troublesome people things, and the Huo family in front of them are the ones who are going to make trouble every now and then.

"Okay." The man finally laughed loudly, "I'm not happy to stay in this poor opera garden anymore. Just wait, you, the Song family, and your poor place will one day be defeated by our master Huo family. "

He pointed at Song Yang, then at the alley, and finally left with a cold snort.

Song Yang sneered: "Huh, the eyes are quite small, but the tone is quite big."

The eyes of the crowd gradually peeled away from them, waiting for the opening of the play, as usual.

The drama is still the original drama, and the people are also the people they used to be.

After Liu Meisheng took the stage, his every move and gesture made the audience unable to take their eyes off the stage.

Song Yang came here just for entertainment.Who made the recent Qinghuanmen be deserted? Yu Sanniang wondered if she secretly hid in the house and smoked opium. She didn't see anyone for a few days, making the Qinghuanmen completely empty.

He was originally upset because of what happened just now, but the moment he saw Liu Meisheng, he suddenly froze.

"Who is he?" Song Yang stared intently at the red dress on the stage, and asked Lu Jinghong next to him.

"Liu Meisheng, the pillar of Qingyi House."

Song Yang stared at the stage and said nothing, he knew that it was Liu Meisheng, the number one actress who was popular in Rongcheng.But he never knew that apart from his excellent singing, this little opera singer who was famous all over the city was also so good-looking.

A person who can be truly beautiful is not because his appearance will eclipse the scenery around him.It's just that he exists like this, no matter how gloomy the world is, it will become clear.

In Song Yang's view, the magnificent Liu Meisheng on the stage in front of him is such a person.

Toyosaki on the side remained silent.

The play was only halfway through, and Song Jue rushed in with the army unexpectedly. The guests watching the play saw the battle and complained.

A big man finally couldn't hold back, and complained: "This is the second fucking time, can you wait for me to finish watching before coming in!"

Adjutant Gao glanced over, lifted the speaker's collar, and pointed his gun at the man's right forehead: "One more word, believe it or not, I'll shoot you dead!"

The man faltered immediately and began to beg for mercy.

Song Jue stopped the adjutant standing in front of the team, and said, "Don't waste time, arrest people directly."

When Lu Jinghong heard this, he tightened his grip on the folding fan. Did they already find out everything?He tilted his head to look at Toyosaki next to him without any trace, with a calm and calm expression on his face.

The next second, Adjutant Gao directly led the people onto the stage, and with a gesture, two soldiers behind pressed Liu Meisheng's arms, intending to make him kneel down.

Liu Meisheng didn't seem to have expected that he would be arrested suddenly, and with the force of the two soldiers beside him, he still gritted his teeth and refused to kneel.But after all, they couldn't resist the strength of the two, and finally knelt on the stage alone.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Lu Jinghong watched the scene on stage calmly, knowing that today's incident was caused by Toyosaki no matter what.Although it seems that Song Jue has not found his whereabouts yet, the traces must be becoming more and more obvious.

The adjutant looked at Liu Meisheng's indifferent and unflinching expression, and said directly: "Boss Liu, someone reported you for hiding the 'rebellious party', and if you don't report it, come with us."

"Heh, chaos party, where?" Liu Meisheng smiled lightly and glanced at him.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, the adjutant saw that a woman in a blue opera robe came up to the stage, pointed at him and said, "You were the one who was sneaky after the curtain call last month. I saw the shoes you wore on stage, and there was a puddle of dried blood on the soles." , and when cleaning, it was found that there was also a large pool of blood on the beams of the house. It must be that the rebellious party was hiding on it at that time. Didn’t you know that you didn’t report it?”

The woman who identified him in front of him was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. She played the role of a court lady Caizhi in "Fu Hua Farewell".

After hearing this, Liu Meisheng looked at the girl in front of him who had nothing to do with him, and had to say that her words and actions at this time were really like picking branches in the play.With more training, he will become a famous character all over the city.

But he laughed again immediately, he couldn't protect himself, what else did he want to do so much.
