I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

That year, Chen Aishan boarded the green leather train to Yecheng overnight, hoping to make a fortune in the big city.He only knew that the city was huge and that there were many opportunities, but he never thought that the sky was high and the sea was vast. He had no culture and connections when he just arrived in Yecheng, and he was immersed in the turbulent crowd like a grain of sand.

On a snowy night, it was another day when Chen Aishan failed to find a job.While smoking the cigarette butts he picked up from the trash can, he walked aimlessly among the neon lights of the city.When turning an old alley, he suddenly heard someone singing an opera.

It is an excerpt from "Frost Flower Tribulation".

Although Chen Aishan didn't read much, he had heard a lot of plays.In the past, there was a grass troupe in their village who sang four-part strings. Chen Aishan always hang out with this group when he has nothing to do.It can be said that listening to opera is Chen Aishan's greatest hobby in this life.

Chen Aishan was fascinated by that accent, and even forgot the cold.He followed the sound and walked forward, and saw under a street lamp, a girl in a red padded jacket with braids was pinching her orchid fingers, standing in the snow.

The girl seemed to have also noticed Chen Aishan, and to him, her eyes were watery and timid.Chen Aishan was dumbfounded, and was so frightened that the cigarette butt in his hand was burned.Seeing this, the girl laughed, turned around and ran into a compound.

That was the first time Chen Aishan saw Xiaoru, he stared blankly at the house number of the compound, and saw a few words written on it - Yecheng Opera Troupe.

Chen Aishan has an idea, he must stay here!

The next day, Chen Aishan came to the entrance of the opera troupe early. It happened that the dormitory was being built in the troupe. There were thick cement bags on the trailer, and some workers were pushing them weakly.

Chen Aishan took a look, trotted up, snatched the trailer from the worker, and pulled the pile of cement like a cow to transport it in.Then in the next few days, he would go out early and return late every day to do rough work here, and he didn't need money.

Soon, the figure of this young man was noticed by the logistics staff.Chen Aishan was very good at things, bought a pack of cigarettes with almost all the money he had on his body, and gave them to the logistics staff, begging them repeatedly to keep him.After the logistics staff worked together, they found that the regiment was short of someone to do chores, so they reported Chen Aishan's situation to the leader.This can be regarded as fulfilling Chen Aishan's wish.

However, such a rural boy who has never seen the world, after entering this kind of art troupe, is like a clown who got into a high-end banquet.

Faced with this situation, Chen Aishan still pretended to be simple and cheerful, but he was very unhappy in his heart.In order not to be looked down upon by others, he tried to establish relationships with everyone, but the more relationships he established, the more he was looked down upon.The people around are always hurting Chen Aishan's self-esteem, he feels uncomfortable, feels that he doesn't belong here, and wants to leave.But every time at this time, he would think of the girl in the red padded jacket who sang in the wind and snow.

Finally, he saw her again.She said her name was Xiaoru, and she had not been in the regiment for long.After some chatting, Chen Aishan was surprised to find that he and Xiaoru were still from the same hometown.

Xiaoru doesn't look down on him like the others, and even when she is being troubled by others, she will help him out of the siege openly and secretly.On weekdays, the regiment distributes some rice, noodles, grains and oils, and Xiaoru always wants to send a copy to Chen Aishan, a little fellow.In Chen Aishan's eyes, Xiaoru is not only the reason why he stayed here in the first place, but also the motivation for him to stay here, and his spiritual pillar!

Through the two people getting along back and forth, Chen Aishan discovered that he and Xiaoru are actually very similar in some ways, both of them have low self-esteem but are strong.Xiaoru told Chen Aishan that she has a good sister named Liu Yunsheng who is better than her in everything.With her, Xiao Ru always felt that she was not as good as the other party, but she always felt unconvinced.

Little Ru didn't know that in Chen Aishan's heart, she was better than everyone in the troupe.Xiaoru also said that the group plans to rehearse "Frost Flower Tribulation", and she and her good sister are both candidates for the protagonist Shuang'er, but judging from the current situation, it should be her sister who got the role greater chance.But Xiaoru is still practicing desperately, she is not willing to let go of even the last chance.

One evening, Xiaoru suddenly came to see Chen Aishan, and excitedly told him that she got the chance to play Shuang'er, which was decided by Teacher Jiang Ming herself!And her good sister Liu Yunsheng was assigned to play the second female number Yun'er.

Xiaoru said that Yun'er's role is not pleasing, and she is also surprised by Teacher Jiang Ming's decision.But since the role is fixed for her, she must not let everyone down.

Chen Aishan was happier than Xiao Ru getting the role she dreamed of.The two went to a small barbecue stall and drank wine for half the night. Chen Aishan saw a beautiful butterfly bracelet hanging on Xiaoru's hand. Xiaoru said that it was a gift from her sister.

Through the drunkenness, Xiaoru told Chen Aishan that she always wanted to be someone like Liu Yunsheng, always imitating the other person's appearance in dressing and dressing, imitating the other's frown and smile.She really didn't expect that one day she would surpass Liu Yunsheng to get the leading role. Although she felt sorry for her sisters, she was more inexplicably happy in her heart.She thinks she has won!

Chen Aishan understood this feeling, he felt that Xiaoru was more like him.

Since then, Chen Aishan has been looking forward to being able to go to see Xiaoru's performance on the day of the "Frost Flower Tribulation" performance. He even saved up the money for buying gifts in advance.Unexpectedly, Xiao Ru was not able to stand on the stage of the performance until the end.

That night, Jiang Ming suddenly called Xiaoru and asked her to go to the rehearsal hall.Xiaoru thought that Jiang Ming was going to guide her, so she went excitedly.

After Xiaoru left, Chen Aishan always felt restless.He looked up at the clock which was already pointing to midnight, took a flashlight and headed towards the rehearsal hall.

In the props room next door, Chen Aishan saw Xiaoru who was raped by Jiang Ming.Her mouth was stuffed with cloth strips, and she screamed tearfully.

He heard Jiang Ming say that if Xiao Ru resisted again, he would change Shuang'er's role to someone else.Xiao Ru's struggling body suddenly stiffened, and then became a puppet that was off its strings...

Chen Aishan was filled with grief and indignation. He picked up the flashlight and was about to smash Jiang Ming's head, but Xiaoru stopped him.Looking at Xiaoru's sad but determined eyes, Chen Aishan froze in place...

The next day, Jiang Ming found Chen Aishan and threatened that if he dared to tell what happened last night, Xiaoru would never get the role of Shuang'er again, and she would definitely hate Chen Aishan to the core.On the contrary, if Chen Aishan can keep the secret, Jiang Ming will find a way to help Chen Aishan become a regular worker, so that he can stay in logistics instead of being a temporary worker.

Faced with Jiang Ming's conditions, Chen Aishan hesitated...

Chen Aishan originally thought that Xiao Ru voluntarily swallowed her anger in order to get the role, and he always comforted himself with "this is all for Xiao Ru's benefit".Little did they know that Xiao Ru committed suicide anyway.

The reason was not that her body was stained, but that she broke her throat at the beginning of the struggle that night.The performance is just around the corner, and Xiao Ru, who has lost her voice, can no longer take the stage, and Shuang'er's role has once again returned to her good sister, Liu Yunsheng.

On the night before the performance, Xiaoru found Chen Aishan and told him that the reason why Jiang Ming raped herself was all arranged by Liu Yunsheng!She heard the conversation between Liu Yunsheng and Jiang Ming with her own ears.Her eyes were full of hatred, she said that she would never let Liu Yunsheng go even if she died!

The next morning, Xiao Ru's body was found hanging from an electric fan in the dormitory.The feet in the frost blue embroidered shoes dangled in the air, flickering.This picture will always be engraved in Chen Aishan's heart...

Since then, Chen Aishan has been living in nightmares all day long.He hated Jiang Ming, Liu Yunsheng, everyone who took Shuang'er's role, and even more himself...

Many years later, Liu Yunsheng has become famous and announced that he will rearrange the drama "Frost Flower Tribulation".At this moment, a Taoist came to Chen Aishan, confessed the resentment in his heart and gave him some incense pills.The Taoist told him that as long as he has this incense pill, he can recall Xiaoru from the underworld!

……

"I've said everything I need to say." Chen Aishan gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "During the performance, Liu Yunsheng and Jiang Ming, a pair of beasts who suffered thousands of knives, couldn't run away!"

"Who are you threatening?" Jiang Xiao gave Chen Aishan a white look, "Your story was a happy one before, but the more you listen to it, the more distorted it becomes."

"you!"

"What about me? I'm telling the truth. If you have a grudge to avenge, it's over if you find Liu Yunsheng and Jiang Ming. Why do you need to hurt other actors?"

"Shuang'er can only belong to Xiaoru!" Chen Aishan shouted.

Jiang Miao curled his lips impatiently: "Why are you so domineering."

After he finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers: "Hey section chief, here is a man who drives a ghost to deliberately hurt people... Damn, of course he is alive! Otherwise, I will take it back directly?...Yes, yes, arrest It’s over, send someone to deal with it.”

Jiang Miao hung up the phone, turned around and raised his chin at Chi Chi: "Find a sheltered place and leave him there, someone will deal with it later."

"Okay." Xi Chi nodded.

……

It was very late at night, and the accumulated water on the road had turned into icicles, and there would be a "creaking, creaking" sound when stepping on it.

Jiang Miao and Qi Chi walked side by side on the way back to the famous garden in the underworld, Jiang Miao half-cast his eyes and did not say a word, obviously he was still thinking about something.

"No, let's take care of it, it's a little messy." Jiang Xiao took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and took a deep breath, "I know that Liu Yunsheng may like Xiaoru, so I want to help her find a substitute. To seek Jiang Ming's revenge for her. The people who hurt these substitutes are Chen Aishan and Xiaoru, the reason is that they don't want someone to occupy the role of Shuang'er... Chen Aishan said that it was Liu Yunsheng who instigated Jiang Mingqiang|violated Xiaoru, causing Xiaoru's vocal cords Tear was unable to perform on stage, so he was so distraught that he chose to commit suicide... Fuck, this is wrong!"

Jiang Miao looked at Qichi in a bewildered expression: "Didn't Liu Yunsheng like Xiaoru, why the hell would Jiang Ming rape|violate her?!"

"Do you know Rashomon?" Xi Chi said calmly, "Everyone will state the facts or lie in a way that is beneficial to them, making the truth more complicated."

"Let's not talk about the incompatibility, Xiaoru's feelings for Liu Yunsheng are really twisted. She also treats him as a good sister, and has been secretly competing with each other. She is better than him. The first reaction is that she is secretly happy. ?” Jiang Xiao flicked the cigarette ash, “Hey, do you think Liu Yunsheng knew about it?”

"It's hard to say, but this kind of emotion should not be uncommon."

"Tsk, people's hearts, it's so fucking complicated!" Jiang Miao threw away his cigarette butt, rubbed his frozen hands and sighed, "Miao Miao is limping, I don't know if Liu Yunsheng can find someone to play Shuang'er, but I hope I can't find it...Ah Choo! Fuck, it's so fucking cold!"

A hand suddenly took Jiang Miao's hand and put it into his coat pocket. Jiang Miao was slightly startled, and looked at Qi Chi beside him.

"You wear too little." Qi Chi didn't look at Jiang Miao, and walked forward holding his cold hand in his pocket.

Jiang Miao groaned uncomfortably, and said with a sneer, "You two big men!"

"Two big men, don't judge the details." Qi Chi exerted some force on his hands, but he didn't let Jiang Miao break free.

He asked in a low voice, "It didn't hurt you, did it?"

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment, then realized that what Qi Chi said was that he almost crushed his wrist just now, and immediately curled his lips pretending to be wronged: "It hurts..."

Qi Chi held Jiang Miao's hand slightly tighter, and then slowly stroked the back of Jiang Miao's hand with his thumb, rubbing it gently.

This is how a big man would definitely feel embarrassed, Jiang Miao only felt his face was a little hot, but felt that his hands were really comfortable at the moment.

The two walked side by side in the night, until the building of Mingyuan in the underworld loomed in front of them, and Jiang Xiao stopped in his tracks.

"Brother Xiaohua, let's talk about your affairs." Jiang Xiao looked up at Qi Chi and said softly, "Did you remember something just now?"
