star shift

In the 13th year of the Republic of China, Hongjie.

It was cold, windy and snowy, and the night was close. From time to time, there were a few barking dogs and shouts of drunks.

Pei Shan wrapped his coat tightly, carefully wrapped the pie in his hand, and kept it warm with his body temperature.

My sister's favorite pie, it will be cold if I can't get home.

"How dare you hit me, a singer? You bitch!"

With a sudden cry, Pei Shan was frightened, and his attention was attracted by the darker and deeper place, and he walked into the alley unconsciously.

"Which son of a bitch are you? Drunk, prostituted, and spoiled the show, and thought you were some rotten thing!" This was the voice of a young man, followed by a muffled sound.

Pei Shan's heart tightened when he heard it, and he thought that this little opera singer is quite bloody, he heard this sound, punching to the flesh, guessing that the few people on the opposite side didn't take advantage of it.

When walking further in, the bang bang sound became more obvious. Before turning the corner, Pei Shan saw a few people in long coats stumbling out, with some blood on their faces and hands.

When those people saw Pei Shan, they didn't stop for a moment, and rushed to the bright place in a hurry.

"I don't have the guts and no money to dare to imitate others to make a husband! What are you running for? If you have the ability, you can throw two more punches!"

There was another yelling from the corner, with panting sounds, getting closer.

Pei Shan poked his probe inside.

I saw a man in a costume rushing out, seeing Pei Shan standing at the corner, he was stunned for a moment, and then he yelled: "Hey, there's another one, what's the matter, you want to be beaten even with your small body?"

The makeup gives a layer of soft light to the three-dimensional and clear bones.The opening at the end of the eyebrows was bleeding, staining the makeup.

But the young man stared straight at Pei Shan as if he was not afraid of pain.

Pei Shan doesn't listen to opera on weekdays.

His father, Pei Lin, smoked opium in the early days and ruined his family. When he quit smoking, his health also collapsed.In order to treat illnesses, Pei Shan was working as a university teacher, and at the same time tutored female middle school students in Chinese in his spare time; moreover, after all, there were still some literati's sharpness, and the pen could not be stopped.Come and go again and again, you are too busy, how can you have time to go to the stage?

Seeing the young man singing an opera at this time, he only guessed that he might be a child with a poor background, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The person on the opposite side still had his neck stuck.The blood flowed to the eyes, and the boy didn't even blink.

Pei Shan touched his body, took out a handkerchief, and took a step forward, but the boy dodged him.

"I just saw that your blood was staining your clothes, and I wanted to wipe your handkerchief." Pei Shan stood still, keeping a distance of five steps, "There is no malice."

The young man raised his hand suspiciously, and Pei Shan handed it over.

"Are you a teacher?" Tang Liyan sneered.

Pei Shan was stunned, and asked with a smile, "How do you know?"

"Look at your cuffs, they are stained with dust." The young man pointed to the washed white and torn sleeves.

Pei Shan leaned his hands behind his back with some embarrassment, "It's quite careful."

"That's right, my eyes are sharp." The boy said, "I met a young gentleman." He said with an envious smile, "It's great, there are a lot of books to read, and there are people to teach."

"You don't need to call me sir." Pei Shan nodded, pretending to say thank you, "Pei Shan, the name is Huaizhang."

"Ah, fine. My name is Tang Liyan, what's the word...what's the best word?" The young man tapped his chin twice with his finger, "The word is white."

Tang Liyan gave him his real name, not his stage name.In order to catch up with Pei Shan's antics, he even put on a face.

Pei Shan found it interesting, so he asked a little more, "Why are the words so blank?"

"Why are there so many, I think it sounds good."

As soon as Tang Liyan spoke, his stomach growled.

"Hungry?" Pei Shan asked.

"A bit."

"Why don't you go home?"

"I was smashed just now, I can't go back to the garden now, or I will be beaten again."

After hearing this, Pei Shan suddenly remembered the pie in his pocket, hesitated for a while, and took it out, "It's hot, do you want to eat it?"

Tang Liyan stretched out his hand subconsciously, then retracted it, shaking his head.

Pei Shan thought he couldn't lose face, so he wrapped the pie in a scarf, left it in the snow, turned and left.

Tang Liyan didn't say thank you, and didn't say goodbye to him, but just shouted behind him: "Where does the teacher teach?"

Pei Shan turned slightly, pointed to the tall building not far away, and then walked quickly into the wind and snow.

This is the first time that 25-year-old Pei Shan met 17-year-old Tang Liyan.

This year's snow is not like what it should be in the south. When it falls on the gown, it cannot melt or stick. With a slight shake, the accumulated accumulation along the way is wasted, and all the snow falls to the ground, making the dust dirty.

It is surprisingly cold when it snows, but it is surprisingly warm after the snow, and there is no snow left.

Pei Shan thought that this fate would be over like this.Unexpectedly, Tang Liyan found the classroom and returned the scarf.

The scarf was squarely folded and placed in the mailroom.There was only a note next to it, with a cluster of flowers on it.

Pei Shan didn't have a chance to ask how he found this, and he didn't have time to ask if he was beaten after returning to the garden that day, so he could only look at the hard cardboard for a while.

The paper read: [Thank you, Mr. Pei].

Pei Shan couldn't help laughing - such a fierce and stubborn boy in the night, he writes dignifiedly.

The paper and flowers were put into the lesson plan and used as bookmarks temporarily, so as not to crush them.

Pei Shan put the book and the scarf under his arm and picked up some old books, planning to take them home to satisfy his sister.

Pei Shan's younger sister is called Wan Wan, and she is full of aura and skills, but now she is focused on treating Pei Lin's lung disease, so she has no chance to continue her studies.Pei Shan always felt sorry for her that she couldn't study, so this time, looking for an opportunity, he took a few more books with him.

After returning home, the oil lamp jumped a few times and then went out. Pei Shan counted and added some oil to it.

"Wanwan, I brought you some books." Pei Shan whispered, "Don't let Dad see it."

Pei Wanwan curled her lips and scolded him for wasting money, "I won't be able to go to college, why don't you buy more clothes for yourself."

"They are all old books that my students don't want." Pei Shan lowered his head, "Actually, the new exam registration starts in spring, you can..."

Pei Wanwan brushed her hair back and covered her expression with her hands, "No way. When I was shopping for vegetables, everyone said that the situation is tight and classes will be suspended. Then you won't be able to get your salary, and I will go to school again. What should I do?"

When Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, there was a cough immediately in the kitchen.Pei Wanwan quickly put down the oil lamp, ran over, grabbed the firewood from Pei Lin's hand, and asked him to sit in front of the dining table.

Pei Shan took the kerosene lamp a little further away, "Have you felt better recently?"

"The more you read, the more tedious you are." Pei Lin frowned. "I don't think you should take old medicines, which are expensive and useless. It's not as good as the fairy I invited back to my hometown last time. He touched my eyebrows with cigarette ash. My throat doesn't hurt anymore. These foreign things are very bitter, but they can deceive you 'cultural people'."

Pei Shan didn't refute either.He knew that it was not easy to talk about "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai" to him. Decades of ailments could not be changed with just a few words, so he followed him and said, "Okay, I will take you back to my hometown when I have time."

"Don't be too busy, you marry someone who is respectable as soon as possible. Otherwise, the little money you pay for teaching is not enough for your daughter-in-law." Pei Lin said, "The marriage that Matchmaker Zhou helped Wanwan talk about is also settled. People don’t ask for gift money, so thankfully they don’t count as losing money.”

These are the same words every day, Pei Shan has no ears at all, just staring at the few books he brought in a daze.

Pei Wanwan didn't want this book, she had read it many times, and it would be too troublesome to bring it back to school.After much deliberation, Pei Shan felt that it would be better to keep the ashes in his own room than to throw them away.

Pei Shan took out the lesson plan from his armpit and laid it flat on the table, preparing for the next day's lecture.As soon as the book was opened, I saw those yellow and white flowers floating out like mandarin ducks dancing together.

The paper was exposed.Only then did Pei Shan discover that there was another side of the paper, on which was written:

[It’s not good to return things empty-handed.But Mr. Shi would not like those vulgar things in the garden. It happened that the honeysuckle was still in bloom, so I picked it off, and I had the right to save the snow for my husband. ]

It is still handwriting with silver hook drawn on iron.

Pei Shan read it over and over again, and remembered the envious tone of the child in the alley when he said "there are so many books to read", and his heart couldn't help but move.

After repacking a few books and putting on all the scarves and hats, Pei Shan got up.

Seeing that he was about to leave just after returning home, Pei Lin couldn't help asking, "Where are you going at night?"

"Go to a play with friends."

"Listen to the opera?" Pei Lin asked vigilantly, "Where do you have friends who love to listen to the opera? You don't want to follow the hobby of those rich boys to win roles! Those low-brows are the most—"

"Oh, how could my brother have such thoughts! Don't worry about him!" Pei Wanwan helped.

Pei Shan was able to step out the door.

Beifeng wrapped his knife, and Pei Shan tightly wrapped his coat around him.

There is only one opera troupe near the alley, and Pei Shan often passes by during class and get out of class, and listens to the babbling opera lyrics through the crack of the door, but he doesn't hear much.

This time Pei Shan stood still at the door and listened for a long time.

It sings: "Take a light step to the front of the wilderness and stand still, and suddenly look up to see the clear moonlight."

Pei Shan recognized these two sentences, and he only felt emotionally that Yu Ji loves the overlord, and she deserves it.But I never thought that inside and outside the play, it is inevitable that a word will become a prophecy.

Inside the garden is another scene.

Many times in the future when he was sleepless in the wilderness, Pei Shan would always think that if he could have foreseen the rest of their lives, he would definitely not push that door.
