Don't touch my tomb!

Li Tang bowed his hands to the Li family and saluted, "Father, mother."

Mother Li cried with joy: "Okay, that's great!"

Father Li also said hello repeatedly, "Our family has a way out!"

Li's mother embraced her son excitedly, and realized something was wrong when she hugged her, "Tang Tang, why are you so cold? No..." Li's mother carefully observed Li Tang in front of her, "You are not my son, who are you? !"

"Li Tang" smiled, but didn't answer.

This smile was a bit weird, and the Li family hugged each other nervously, backing away again and again.

"Mother, don't be afraid." Li Tang's voice came from inside the room, and the old couple watched another son come out.This Li Tang still had a terrible birthmark on the left half of his face.

Several silk threads were wrapped around Li Tang's slender hands, which couldn't be found unless one looked carefully.Li Tang moved his fingers slightly, and the other "Li Tang" obediently walked to the side of the open space.

"Son, what's going on here?" Mother Li asked tremblingly.

Li Tang said softly: "Mother, this is a puppet made by me. From now on, he will be me, I will be him, and he will be the pillar of our family. He will never betray me."

"But..." Li's mother wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li's father, "I think it's feasible, we didn't find out that this is not Tang Tang just now, and those laymen can't see it when the show starts. With this play There is no need to worry about the puppet's next performance.

"Well, what my father said is true." Li Tang looked up at the blue sky, "Now that autumn is crisp and clear, he is a new member of my troupe, so let's call him Qiu Liyuan."

Hearing the new name, the smile of the puppet standing beside him suddenly deepened.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiaocong, who was watching from the sidelines, was amazed: I didn't expect Xiaoqiu to be born like this, Li Tang's hands were really opened by Nuwa, and he was able to make a puppet that was no different from a real person!

At this time, clouds and mist lingered on the stage, and Li Tang and the others' figures gradually blurred. Qiu Liyuan's voice sounded again, "In the second scene, the infatuated actor mistakenly pays the blind dude."

Blind dude?This word... Qin Xiaocong was sweating.

When the clouds cleared again, a burst of warm applause erupted first.

"Okay, it's so beautiful!"

"It's wonderful!"

"How can there be such a perfect actor in the world, I need to meet him!"

On the stage, there is a play within a play.In the middle of the stage is Qiu Liyuan, who is bowing in groups to thank the audience, and under the stage are enthusiastic cheering fans.

People kept throwing flowers, gold and silver wives, pearls, jade and precious stones onto the stage.

Qiu Liyuan managed to get away from the front of the stage and backstage, Li Tang was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground and was wiping away his sweat.

This was the first time he manipulated a puppet to play the leading role, and it was through the entire audience. He had to sing and also pay attention to controlling Qiu Liyuan's movements. After several consecutive performances, he was exhausted physically and mentally.

When Li Tang rested, Qiu Liyuan stood beside him blankly.Li Tang rested for a while, and sighed, "I'm so thirsty." He got up to get water to drink, but he couldn't get up for a while because of exhaustion, so he sat back down again.

"Brother, drink water." A pleasant and very familiar voice rang in his ears, and immediately after, a cup of herbal tea was delivered to Li Tang.

The voice was so familiar that Li Tang didn't realize that there was something wrong, and he suddenly raised his head when he finished drinking a cup of tea.On top of her head was Qiu Liyuan's smiling face, that face, except for the birthmark, was exactly the same as her own.

"Brother finally found me." Qiu Liyuan smiled and bowed to Li Tang, "Thank you brother for creating me, and I will serve brother in the future."

"Pa—", the teacup slipped from Li Tang's hand, fell to the ground and shattered.

The puppet I made has my own spiritual consciousness, can run, dance and sing, and keeps saying that he wants to serve him. No one can digest this matter for a while.

Li Tang was obviously frightened by Qiu Liyuan, and secretly remembered the prison several times, but every time he just entered the door, Qiu Liyuan followed him back.

"Brother, don't be afraid, I won't harm my brother." Qiu Liyuan said sincerely, "I felt my brother's intentions during the birth process. My brother wanted me to give birth to spiritual consciousness and learn to sing. I have a spiritual consciousness." I also learned to sing, and I will never betray my brother."

After going back and forth like this several times, even the Li couple could see that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything.Perhaps for people who are running around all day long to survive, some things, although strange, do not endanger their lives, but can make their lives better, so there is no reason for them not to accept them.

Qiu Liyuan likes Li Tang very much. After revealing that she can act independently, she has been "older brother" and "short brother" all day long. Tang's burden also gave Li Tang more time to create.In addition, Qiu Liyuan is an inhuman thing after all, and he can often make some amazing moves during performances. Soon, Qiu Liyuan became a famous actor.

Finally one day, after another successful performance, Li Tang finally let go, "You can follow me from now on."

Is this officially acknowledging him?Qiu Liyuan was overjoyed, with makeup still on his face, he hugged Li Tang excitedly, "I'm so happy brother!"

Li Tang felt a little helpless, "Why do you always call me brother, who did you learn from?"

Qiu Liyuan blinked, "You gave birth to me, logically I should call you Father, but my appearance and age are similar to yours, so calling you brother won't be suspicious....Do you want to change the title?"

The corner of Li Tang's mouth twitched, "You should call me brother."

"Yes!"

Li Tang officially recognized Qiu Liyuan, and asked him to kowtow to his parents, and the family sat down and had a meal together.Although Qiu Liyuan couldn't eat, he was also very happy, and played some tricks to make fun of it from time to time, which made the Li couple "haha" laugh.

Internally, Li Tang and Qiu Liyuan are brothers, externally, Li Tang is the head of the Li family troupe, and Qiu Liyuan is the new pillar they cultivated.One person and one puppet cooperated seamlessly, and the Li's troupe quickly became famous, and more and more dignitaries became their loyal supporters, and the life of the Li's family became better and better.

However, after getting along for a long time, Li Tang discovered that although Qiu Liyuan was very similar to him in appearance, his temperament was quite different from his.Li Tang was born at the bottom of the society, he is tolerant when things happen, and never easily conflicts with others, but Qiu Liyuan has been dignified and dignified since he was born, and has a good temper, and he is never polite to those who dare to come to the troupe to find fault.Many people know that although Qiu Liyuan is a beauty, she has a hot temper and is not easy to mess with.

On this day, they were invited to perform on stage at the Zhao family, the local wealthy family.At first, Li Tang didn't want to pick him up. The young master of the Zhao family was the one who took Taosheng away. He was a little afraid that Qiu Liyuan would also...

However, the money from the Zhao family was very considerable, and Qiu Liyuan took it first, "Don't worry about it, brother, I will definitely perform well. If I earn more money, my brother won't have to work so hard."

In this way, Li Tang had no choice but to agree.

The performance of the day was very successful.During the performance, Li Tang took a special look and did not find Taosheng beside Zhao Shao.After all, he was brought up by himself, so I don't know if Taosheng is doing well with Zhao Shaohou.

Because Master Zhao was celebrating his birthday, after the performance, Young Master Zhao ordered someone to carry a box of gold ingots to the backstage in person.

At that time, Qiu Liyuan had finished removing her make-up, and was packing up her things with Li Tang to go home. Seeing such a generous reward, Qiu Liyuan's eyes straightened, "Thank you, Young Master Zhao."

Zhao Shao has been obsessed with his eyes since he saw Qiu Liyuan, and now his squinting eyes can't wait to stick to Qiu Liyuan.When Qiu Liyuan received the silver box, Young Master Zhao put his greasy hand on Qiu Liyuan's snow-white wrist, and praised: "It's really as delicate as jade, seconds! Beauty, stay with me tonight, this box of gold is full of gold." It's yours."

Qiu Liyuan looked at him suspiciously, "Do you want to sing all night? But..."

"No!" Li Tang shouted beside him.

Qiu Liyuan immediately said, "The class leader said no, then forget it, take the gold back. We are going home."

Zhao Shao probably didn't expect that he would be rejected, so he raised his foot and kicked Li Tang, "Who gave your dog the guts to talk?"

His kick was so heavy that he kicked Li Tang to the ground.After Li Tang fell down, he knocked off the mask on his face, and that half of his ugly face could be clearly seen under the light.

Zhao Shao kicked Li Tang again, "Ugly people make trouble, get out!" After this kick, he wanted to kick again, but suddenly found that his leg was being held by someone.

The person holding Zhao Shao's leg was none other than Qiu Liyuan.

Young Master Zhao didn't notice anything wrong, and even thought it was a joke, still laughing, "Beauty... ah!"

In the next second, Young Master Zhao let out a scream.His leg was unexpectedly broken by Qiu Liyuan.

More than that, Qiu Liyuan threw Zhao Shao to the ground and kicked him several times, "If you dare to touch my brother, go to hell!"

Enduring the severe pain, Li Tang rushed over to hug Qiu Liyuan, "Stop, stop quickly, you will cause big trouble!"

Sure enough, Qiu Liyuan got into trouble, the Zhao family reported to the officials, and he and Li Tang were thrown into prison together.

The prison was gloomy and cold, and Li Tang let out a long sigh.Qiu Liyuan squatted beside him silently. After a while, he asked in a muffled voice, "Brother, did I do something wrong?"

Li Tang touched his face, "Thank you. It's just that, in our line of work, how can you not be angry. Xiao Qiu, you have to protect yourself."

Actors are humble, and many actors will become playthings of dignitaries, such as Taosheng.But these actors who were raised by the nobles also ended up miserable. After being tired of being played, if the nobles miss their old love, they can be released to start a new life, but many actors disappeared silently after entering the backyard.

Although Li Tang despised this kind of atmosphere, there was nothing he could do about it.He really likes to sing opera and is willing to devote his whole life to the opera industry, but not all actors are like this.

For a long time, Li Tang knew that Qiu Liyuan was not a real person, and had never taught him some things.But he knew, others didn't, Zhao Shao's behavior woke him up.Some things, although filthy, must be made known to Qiu Liyuan.

"Xiaoqiu, listen carefully. After you go out, if you want to continue singing, you must pay attention..."

Qiu Liyuan quietly listened to Li Tang's detailed explanation, and asked: "I have written it all down. Brother, it was the one surnamed Zhao who beat people first, and the official will let us out soon after he finds out, right?"

Li Tang showed a sad smile, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." Qiu Liyuan didn't understand that if he entered this prison as an actor, he would be half disabled if he didn't die.Now that the Zhao family has been offended, even if they get out by chance, there will be no place for the Li family to gain a foothold.

"It's impossible." Qiu Liyuan didn't believe it, paused, and said, "Whenever my brother wants to go out, I can take you out, regardless of them."

However, Li Tang did not stay in prison for long.Three days later, Qiu Liyuan was taken out first, and soon he was also released.

"Brother," Qiu Liyuan was very happy, "Master Guan said that there is a King Yu who wants to see our play, I told Master Guan that I can't act without my brother, we are all free!"

"King Yu..." Li Tang muttered the name, slightly lost in thought.

"Brother knows King Yu?"

"How could I get to know such a noble person, it's just a coincidence." Li Tang thought of the little prince in purple brocade clothes. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been able to get the Zijin Ruannan that made the autumn pear garden.Unexpectedly, this time he was the one who saved them again.

Li Tang said seriously: "King Yu can be regarded as our great benefactor, we must repay him with a good performance."

"it is good."

A few days later, Li Tang brought Qiuliyuan into the imperial city and stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion.

This King Yu is the sixth son of the current emperor. Because his biological mother passed away early, the emperor took pity on him, and developed a lawless temperament. He was a well-known playboy in the imperial city since he was a child.When he grew up, he didn't know anything about the court's tactics, only knew about cockfighting, eating, drinking and having fun, and grew from a rich man to a wealthy idler.

Yu Wang loves to be lively and to watch operas, so when he heard about the Qiu Liyuan of Li's troupe, he was immediately invited to come.

Because Li Tang is grateful to Yu Wang, he deliberately polished the script, and Qiu Liyuan watched Li Tang Shangxin, and practiced his singing and kung fu more hard, striving to perfectly present the content of the script.

Finally came the day to perform for King Yu.

When King Yu showed his face, Qin Xiaocong murmured in his heart. This King Yu looked familiar too... When he heard his cheers for Qiu Liyuan's performance, Qin Xiaocong was struck by lightning: This, this is not a ghost. Yu's voice?

Qin Xiaocong looked at the well-dressed Yu Wang on the stage, and then thought about the crazy Guichayu who didn't even wear shoes, and fell silent: What happened?

Qin Xiaocong couldn't help but look at Guichayu who was on the stage.Sitting on the armchair was no longer Guo Muzhu, and Guichayu had returned to his original appearance.At this moment, he took off the black mask on the left half of his face, and there was a bluish-purple imprint there. If you compare it carefully, you will find that these imprints are exactly the same as the one on Li Tang's face!

From the very first scene, King Yu was deeply infatuated with Qiu Liyuan, and gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin flowed down on Li's troupe.

Besides going to the theater, King Yu also frequently invited Qiu Liyuan to travel with him, but Qiu Liyuan refused the previous few times.Later, King Yu proposed to discuss a new script with Qiu Liyuan. Li Tang couldn't bear it anymore and asked Qiu Liyuan to agree to him.

After Qiu Liyuan agreed, Yu Wang was ecstatic.However, after Qiu Liyuan went back, he was a little unhappy, Li Tang asked him what was wrong, Qiu Liyuan said: "Brother, I don't like the way King Yu looks at me, when can we leave?"

But Li Tang didn't want to leave Prince Yu's mansion so early. These days, King Yu's gaze was obsessed with Qiu Liyuan, and Li Tang's eyes were fixed on King Yu for longer and longer.After getting in touch these days, Li Tang found that Yu Wang really understands opera, and no one has ever understood him so well!

Li Tang boldly said: "If you don't like it, I'll go tomorrow."

"That's great!" Qiu Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, he worried again, "How do you want to meet him, brother?"

Li Tang took a breath, "Tomorrow I will cover my face, we are the same except for our looks, I will be careful."

"Brother, be careful." Qiu Liyuan said.

The next day, Qiu Liyuan waited for Li Tang all day, and he came back in the evening.After returning, Li Tang took off the veiled cap on his head, Qiu Liyuan noticed that his face was very red, and his eyes seemed to be watery.

"Brother, are you crying? Did King Yu bully you?" Qiu Liyuan immediately stared.

When he asked, Li Tang blushed even more, "No, he didn't bully me, I did it voluntarily..."

"What voluntary?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

Next, Li Tang and Yu Wang "discussed the script" alone more and more times. Qiu Liyuan found that Li Tang's mood fluctuated violently, and persuaded him to leave Yu Wang's mansion more than once.

Finally, Li Tang couldn't bear it anymore, "Xiao Qiu, I won't leave. I'm in love with him, I love King Yu!"

Qiu Liyuan was stunned, "Love, what is love?"

Li Tang said, "That's...you can only allow him to treat you well, not anyone else!"

Qiu Liyuan seemed to understand, but Li Tang saw that he was ignorant, so he stopped talking to him.But after a few days, Li Tang fell into depression again, no matter what Qiu Liyuan asked, he just refused to speak.

That night, Qiu Liyuan put on costumes and makeup, and was about to go on stage to perform with King Yu when Li Tang called him back.

"What's the plan, brother?"

Li Tang faltered for a while before saying, "Yu Lang, he is not satisfied with me covering my face every time I get close to him, he wants tonight..."

Qiu Liyuan still didn't understand, "What is he going to do?"

Li Tang still didn't say anything, but only told Qiu Liyuan, "After singing this song, you stay here, and no matter what Yu Lang asks you to do, you must obey. Tonight...you are me, don't expose it."

Qiu Liyuan has always been obedient to Li Tang, and nodded in agreement.

The gong sounded, and Qiu Liyuan came to the stage, but he didn't see Li Tang's painful expression behind him.

After that night, Qiu Liyuan frowned and returned to the small courtyard where he lived.Li Tang stayed up all night, seeing him coming back, he rushed up to greet him, "Did he find anything unusual?"

Qiu Liyuan shook his head.

Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "You..."

"Brother, do you want to do that kind of thing with him because you love him?" Qiu Liyuan asked, "This is so strange."

Li Tang froze, his face was pale, his lips trembled for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry."

Qiu Liyuan shook her head, "Brother, you don't have to be polite with me, as long as you are happy, I can do whatever you want."

Li Tang suddenly discovered that Qiu Liyuan was becoming more and more human.When the prostitute was first made, his body was slightly cold and his skin was hard, but gradually, his body became warm like a real person, and his skin became soft and elastic.It was as if Qiu Liyuan was really going to become him.

One day, when Li Tang was looking in the mirror, he suddenly lost his temper, and Ji Diyou said that he was called away by King Yu again...

Li Tang lay on the table, weeping bitterly: "He doesn't understand anything, you let him go, it's you... Li Tang, you poor ugly bastard!"

At the same time, everyone in the world knew that Yu Wang fell in love with an actor, and wanted to marry into the mansion without hesitation. What was even more ridiculous was that this actor was still a man.

But how could King Yu care about the opinions of the people in the world, he gave his whole heart to "Autumn Pear Garden".

Although Qiu Liyuan had no feelings for King Yu, Li Tang liked him, and he had to do whatever Li Tang asked him to do.

In this way, the day of King Yu's wedding came.Yu Wang was drunk, but his face was flushed, and his whole body was shining because he was immersed in love.After finishing the banquet with great difficulty, King Yu staggered back to his room, seeing his beloved waiting for him with a red hijab, his steps became much lighter.

King Yu sat down beside Qiu Liyuan and hugged him through the red hijab, "Liyuan, I finally married you, the person I love the most in my life..."

Qiu Liyuan hugged him back, and said emotionally: "Yu Lang, I love you too, for the rest of my life!"

King Yu murmured happily, "You are so hot tonight, come, let me lift your hijab."

When the hijab was lifted, Qiu Liyuan was still wearing a veiled hat.

King Yu smiled, "Is this the time to commemorate our first time?" After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and took off his veiled cap.

Under the hood, the left half of Qiu Liyuan's frightening face can be clearly seen under the light.

King Yu stood up with a "ah—" and almost fell to the ground, "Where is the ugly monster! Where is the Liyuan, come here!"

This is not Qiu Liyuan, but Li Tang!

Li Tang's eyes were filled with tears, and he rushed to hug King Yu, "Yu Lang, it's me, I'm Qiu Liyuan, no, Qiu Liyuan is me, I'm Li Tang!"

King Yu looked confused and kicked him away, "What the hell? Liyuan? Liyuan!"

There was a big commotion in King Yu's new house, and soon guards rushed in to arrest Li Tang.

Yu Wang was furious: "Check it out for me, how did this ugly thing get in here!"

"Yes!"

"Yu Lang!" Li Tang wept.

The guards escorted Li Tang out, and King Yu shouted, "Wait!"

Li Tang looked at him expectantly, "Yu Lang, did you recognize me?"

King Yu ordered the guards: "Just kill him and throw it out!"

"Yes!"

Qiu Liyuan found Li Tang's body on the mass grave, which had been devoured by wild dogs.

Qiu Liyuan restrained Li Tang's body, and in the process, tears kept falling from his eyes.He is just a puppet, and a puppet does not have tears, but why, his tears keep going?

Because the whereabouts of Qiu Liyuan had not been found, Yu Wang could not sleep at night.On this day, he was reciting the script he wrote together with "Qiu Liyuan". Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Qiu Liyuan was standing outside.

"Liyuan, you're finally back!" King Yu excitedly went up to him, looked him up and down, and said anxiously, "I'm so worried!"

"Yu Lang," Qiu Liyuan murmured, "Why do you love me?"

Yu Wangdao: "Of course it's because we share the same mind."

"Really," Qiu Liyuan looked up at him, "Isn't it because of my face?"

Yu Wang smiled, "The Liyuan is indeed stunning, I—"

He couldn't say the following words anymore, because he was heartbroken by Qiu Liyuan.

When the body fell down, Yu Wang stared at Qiu Liyuan unwillingly, "Why... what..."

Qiu Liyuan raised her foot and stepped on King Yu's face, "You don't deserve to know. I curse you, your face will be ruined, and you will never be reborn forever!"

The red candle in the room fell and lit the wedding tent, and soon, a raging fire burned...

Outside the stage, Guichayu, who had been as still as a mountain, could no longer calm down. He stood up slowly, his whole body trembling.
