narrow red

Baochan felt hot and rubbed against the pillow uncomfortably. On his left hand was a silver bracelet stuck on his wrist, as if tightly bound by a piece of rope.

"Baochan, from now on, you will be the master of Ruyizhou..."

It was the master's voice, so weak and old.

"Ruyi Island can't be scattered, and the things of the ancestors can't be lost, Baochan, I leave it to you..."

Baochan was eager to grab something, and subconsciously held a hand by the bed.

"Kuo Ting will also be handed over to you. When the time comes, your two strands will also be twisted together..."

Eyelashes flicked violently, and Baochan opened his eyes.

It was a hospital ward, the old air conditioner made a low buzzing sound, the refrigeration seemed to be broken, and several flies were flying around in mid-air.Zhou Zheng's face appeared in front of his eyes, with thick eyebrows, one pair of thieves eyelids, and a wine hole with a cute smile: "Wake up."

"Brother..." When Baochan let go of Kuoting's hand, his neck was covered with sweat.

This is a large ward for eight people, most of whom are elderly people. He lay here for three days because of excessive fatigue and malnutrition.

"Eat ice cream?" Shi Kuoting stroked his hair, his hands sweating.

Baochan looked into his eyes: "I dreamed about Master."

Shi Kuoting turned around and wrung the towel, then came back to wipe his face: "What did my dad say?"

"The old man said," Baozhan squinted his eyes comfortably as he rubbed his face with a cold handkerchief, "Ruyi Island can't be scattered, and things belonging to our ancestors can't be thrown away."

Shi Kuoting didn't speak. On the small table behind him was a plastic basin, half filled with cold water, holding a lunch box, and under the transparent lid was an ice cream of RMB [-].

"I changed the water several times," Shi Kuoting took out the ice cream, "If you don't eat it, it will melt."

He wanted Baochan to have a cold mouthful when he woke up, "Ruyizhou has fallen to where it is today..." Baochan felt uncomfortable, "It's because I can't bear it."

"It's not your fault," Shi Kuoting tore open the ice cream skin, "The times have changed."

There is no more heartbreaking word than this. Nowadays, no matter how hard the hanging hair is thrown, no matter how neatly the back is turned, and no matter how high the tone is, no one will listen even if the voice is broken.

The era when Peking Opera was popular all over the country is gone forever.

Shi Kuoting handed over the ice cream, and Bao Chan wanted to take it, but he didn't let it go: "I'll hold it for you, eat it."

Bao Chan held the bottle in his left hand, and the blood vessel in his right hand was punctured by a needle yesterday, and it was swollen like a steamed bun. Shi Kuoting teased him: "I raised you, boy."

"Stop running the train with your mouth full." Baochan denied it.

"When I was in school," Shi Kuoting put the ice cream on his mouth, "I stopped feeding you?"

"No," Baochan took a sip from the top of the ice cream, "I eat my own."

"Little heartless, when my dad opened your crotch, you cried every day in pain, who went out to buy you snacks, have you forgotten?"

Bao Chan said firmly: "It's nothing."

"Why not, obviously fed."

"Not fed."

"Hey."

"No hello..."

"Fuck your mother, you big-headed ghost!" A voice rang out in the corridor, the tone, the brightness, it sounded like Ying Xiaonong, Shi Kuoting and Bao Chan looked at each other, and hurried out to drag the person in.

"Ancestor," Shi Kuoting licked the ice cream dripping onto his hands, "This is a hospital!"

Ying Xiaonong glanced at him, and hung up the phone: "I'm exhausted and hospitalized, and the iron cock is still stingy..." He looked at Bao Chan, and his tone softened, "Is it better?"

"It's much better." Baochan smiled when he saw him. Ying Xiaonong was led into Ruyizhou by himself. She was beautiful and heroic. She sang Tsing Yi, but she was not feminine at all when she got off the stage. She was his treasure.

"The bastard boss still refuses to pay?" Shi Kuoting asked.

Ying Xiaonong shook his head, took out a key from his pocket, and slapped it on Baochen's bed: "I don't have any money, but I got out of the suite and said it was a luxury villa."

Shi Kuoting sighed: "What's the use of the key? It's not the house book. What Ruyi Island lacks now is money."

"Live here first," Ying Xiaonong went to the bedside to look at Baoqin, touched his head, looked at his hands, and immediately turned over when he saw the swollen right hand like a pig's trotter, "Where is the intern nurse here? Treasure is practicing!"

While eating ice cream, Shi Kuoting was worried: "If we don't have any money, Ruyi Island really can't stand it anymore. Water, electricity, miscellaneous things, we can't always give everyone living expenses."

Speaking of this, the three of them were silent.

The Ruyizhou Opera Troupe was handed down by Shi Kuoting's father, Xu Sheng's famous old man Shi, and it has been enshrined by the inner court for three generations. It has a history of more than [-] years.The troupe is currently renting that building, and the lease will expire next month. According to the current situation, even if they all go to the street to beg for food, they will not be able to raise the money for the renewal.

"There is always a way." Baochan clasped his hands, refusing to give up.

Ying Xiaonong and Shi Kuoting looked at him, his face was so pale that he couldn't see any blood, his eyebrows were smoky, his eyes were Qiushui, and there was a stubbornness in his eyebrows. He is 28 years old this year, has no home, no property, no future, He was about to be overwhelmed by this doomed troupe.

"Leave the hospital first," Baochan said, pulling out the needle in his hand, "I have no money to spend here."

Ying Xiaonong and Shi Kuoting hurriedly stopped them, one hugged the legs and the other pressed the shoulders, and the three of them pressed the stainless steel bed until it creaked. At this moment, someone coughed from behind: "Hey, hey, pay attention to the impact!"

When Shi Kuoting turned around, he saw a few people standing in front of the hospital bed, they were all members of their group, and the leader was Miss Hong, with a smirk on her face: "Let me just say, Baochu is so beautiful, you two dead bachelors will have to attack sooner or later." .”

"Fuck you," Ying Xiaonong rolled her eyes, "A rotten girl is lowering the integrity of a group of people!"

Sister Hong smiled even wider, showing two small canine teeth, very provocative.She is the Dao Ma Dan in the regiment, she is not very old, the whole regiment called her sister because once, everyone drank too much and jumped over the tiger, but none of the gang of gentlemen turned over her, so her status in the world was established .

Next to Sister Hong, the bald man carrying a bag of fruit is Brother Lu, who is a pretty face, and has done a lot of hard work in the regiment these years.

Behind the two of them was a little old man, six to seventy years old, with a hunched back and wrinkled face, stomping his feet in distress: "Quickly, loosen the treasure, don't crush it!"

"Master Kuang," Shi Kuoting rubbed Bao Chan's head, "I want to go home when Bao Chu is no longer supported, Xiao Nong and I disagree."

Mr. Kuang is an old drummer in the regiment. He has been in Ruyi Island all his life. He is a brother to Mr. Shi. Everyone usually respects him, so he hastened to make a place on the bed for him to sit on.

Master Kuang was talking to Baochan, and Sister Hong pulled Shi Kuoting aside, and asked in a low voice, "Have you got the money yet?"

Shi Kuoting nodded: "What's the matter, what's wrong with you?"

"What can I do?" She glanced at Bao Chan, "I'm exhausted, Brother Shi, let me talk it over, there are no people listening to opera these days, why bother to push yourself to death? "

Shi Kuoting lowered his head and did not speak.

"It's gone," Sister Hong said, "Everyone is relieved."

Shi Kuoting glanced at her, and was about to say something when Sister Hong's cell phone rang.

She picked it up impatiently: "Hey, where's the hospital... Baochu is sick, and I've been here all morning... Come on, go back and talk, hang up."

Shi Kuoting knew that it was her boyfriend, and he was also a singer at home. He studied a junior college and switched to auto repair.

"You have to leave first." Shi Kuoting said.

"It's okay." Sister Hong put the phone in her pocket, and it rang again just after putting it in. She took it out to check the number, and smiled, "Grandson, do you still know how to call me..."

Hearing her tone, Shi Kuoting mixed the oil with honey, and frowned.Not only him, but several people in the regiment looked this way. Sister Hong saw everyone's winks, and turned her back without embarrassment: "Our regiment leader is sick... okay, then you wait for me... yo, this time It’s still a human thing, then I’ll wait for you...well, Second Court.”

The phone was put down, she stroked her hair and turned around, revealing two small canine teeth: "Then what, I left beforehand, Baochu, take care of yourself."

Everyone looked at her, not knowing what to say, only Brother Lu touched his bald head and asked, "Sister Hong, where are you going?"

Sister Hong looked at him up and down: "Hongqiao, what's the matter?"

Lu Ge smiled: "I listened to the phone...is there a car to pick it up?"

Sister Hong nodded: "En."

"Can I take a ride?" Brother Lu was very embarrassed, "I'm really...in a hurry to replenish the stock."

Brother Lu has opened an online store in the past few years, selling women's underwear, and also selling little girl's headband earrings and so on, which will be enough to feed a family of three.

"Success," Sister Hong is a straightforward person, and she is not afraid of seeing the person on the phone, "Let's go, Bao Chu, Xiao Nong, hey Kuo Ting, Master Kuang, send me back!"

She came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, leaving only a bagful of fruits.Ying Xiaonong kicked Shi Kuoting from behind, and gestured to the two men on the bed with his elbow: "The old man was persuaded by Bao Chu, and let him be discharged from the hospital."

Master Kuang has been in love with Baochen for a long time. When he was studying, he agreed to everything. Now that he is too old to straighten up, he still wants the stars and not the moon: "Kuoting, I think Baochu is right. He will be kept wherever he is, this hospital is too expensive, shall we go?"

Shi Kuoting and Mr. Kuang stared wide-eyed, and didn't say "no" for a long time. Ying Xiaonong couldn't stand it anymore, and stabbed him hard in the waist: "Give me the case, and I'll go through the discharge procedures! "

Baochan was discharged from the hospital just like that, but he couldn't escape Ying Xiaonong's palm. The boy asked Shi Kuoting to send Mr. Kuang back to the theater troupe, and took Baochan by taxi to Iron Rooster's luxurious villa.

The villa is more than 80 kilometers away from the city center, and there are no buses. It takes more than an hour to walk from the nearest subway station.Baochan stood in front of the extravagant or terrifying gate, discussing with Ying Xiaonong: "I said Xiao Nong, forget it, it's too inconvenient to go to the regiment from here."

"It's just that you take a break," Ying Xiaonong took out the key, "I checked on the Internet, this place is a garden-level greenery, and the air index is updated every hour. It is said that the drone patrols three times a day. It is worse than that broken hospital. Much stronger!"
