When Qishejiang woke up from a dream, he felt that something was wrong. His lower body was stiff, his eyes were dark, and there was no light at all.

It felt a little strange, but also a little familiar, so that Qishejiang almost thought it was a dream within a dream.

Until the next moment, a voice rang out: "Shejiang, light up the lamp."

It was clearly the voice of the master, Qishejiang was stunned, and he didn't react until the master kicked his leg.

Qishejiang got up from the bed, horrified in his heart, did he go back to the past again, and it was before his master passed away?

Even in the dark, Qishejiang knew where everything was in the house, so he reached for the lamp by the bed and lit it up.There is a trace of nostalgia for the convenient electric light in my heart.

Not everyone can afford electric lights now, and Master's house doesn't even need foreign lamps, that is, matches.The one in my hand is made of wooden sticks and sulfur soil.

Qishejiang lit the kerosene lamp in the dark, and saw Master's dry but energetic face appearing in front of his eyes under the dim light, his heart pounded, and he pinched himself quietly.

That's great, it's true!

What year is it now, if you avoid it in advance, what happened later will not happen, and the master, younger brother, and younger sister will all survive.

Wait, when it comes to this, the master passed away very early, but left behind a daughter, the younger sister, and those younger brothers who were supposed to live at the master's house, why are they so quiet?

Also, what about the original time and space, what about Zhang Yue, should he try to live here and wait until Zhang Yue is born?Qishejiang was a little at a loss.

The master said: "Wash up, we will go to your elder brother's house."

Qishejiang: "..."

Brother? ?Are you kidding, isn't he the biggest disciple of the master, the master brother of the master?

Qishejiang went to fetch water in a daze, but saw that he looked young in the reflection, with his original face, but he seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He only learned cross talk after he lost his position. He hadn't graduated yet, and he was later than some people who started in elementary school, but his level was not far behind.

The master counted some copper plates and packed them, and said in his mouth: "Your senior elder brother still needs to be supported by this illness, and the second senior elder brother fell down again. The siblings at home are still young, which is really worse. I will find a way for the money in the future. Tighten your belt for a few days."

There are two senior brothers?

Qishejiang vaguely agreed, and he didn't know what was going on, but his mind was empty.

After packing up, the master reheated the noodle cakes, shared one with Qishejiang, wrapped up the rest, and went out together.When the sky was bright, I walked to a private house.

Qishejiang recognized this place, this should be the home of his junior brother.

As soon as the master knocked on the door, the tall and thin man who came to open the door, with a pair of smiling eyes, was clearly Meng Mengda, but he seemed a little...

"Master, Junior Brother." Meng Mengda shouted.

Qishejiang: "..."

This world is too crazy, the master and the younger brother are fine, but the younger brother has become his elder brother?He said how his younger brother looked older than himself.

……

"We are really useless. It's nothing if we don't show filial piety to you. We also take care of you, uncle, and fellow juniors. My illness is still not cured, and my second child fell again." Meng Mengda wiped away tears when he said that.

Both his parents have gone, and he has a younger brother and younger sister to take care of. He usually works with his second junior brother to perform in the field, working hard to earn enough food and clothing, and going hungry from time to time.

When I was injured before, it was the second junior brother who carried it. Now that the second junior brother fell and was injured, he could only rely on the teacher to help him, but it was not easy for anyone. The uncle and the junior brother were all behind the family.

The master is alone, but the younger brother has not yet left the teacher, and it is also a time when he eats a lot.They were all squeezed out from between the teeth to feed the four of them, which made Meng Mengda both moved and ashamed.

"Okay, don't talk so much. You are injured, sick, and two dolls. No one can take care of you. I will ask Shejiang to cook for you every meal." Master is responsible for this. from their food.Not to mention that these two apprentices are half the size of him, even if they are ordinary colleagues, they will help out if there is a big or small matter. It is not easy for Jianghu entertainers to take care of each other.

The second brother, that is Qishejiang's other junior brother before. There is no one in Mengda's family, and he has been living in the house of his junior brother and partner.He also said sadly: "You have worked so hard like this! Hey, master, my senior brother and I can't do the work. The landlord wants to rent the land to others. We are suffering like this, and it is hard to survive when we recover from our illness! To live, Why is it so difficult!"

When they go out to sell their performances, they can't just find a piece of land. The land has its own owners, especially those lively areas, which have formed rules.Only by renting land from the landlord can we perform in this area, and everyone is eager to rent a good place.

The land they occupied before had a lot of people, and some regular customers.If someone else rents it out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rent such a good land in the future.

And the master, who is not performing in the same place as the disciples, also has rented land himself, so he can't help occupy it.Other colleagues also have their own circumstances, and it is impossible to tear down other people's homes to speak alone, just to help them occupy the land.

Qishejiang already knew the situation by now. In this upside-down world, he was the junior junior brother, but the current senior brother Meng Mengda and the second senior brother were both in trouble.

He really wanted to comfort his younger brother, don't be depressed, life is hard, but if you persist, as long as you persist in the new society, you will be an old artist.

...It's a pity that this can't be said casually.

"Master...Brother, or else I'll go to your ground and talk about it." With Qishejiang's words, everyone looked at him.

"You kid, what are you messing around with?" Master frowned.

"That's better than just like this, Master, just give me some rent, and I'll try it for a day!" Qishejiang also saw that the situation was urgent, and he couldn't bear it, he couldn't just watch his junior brother and master in front of him again In trouble.

The master frowned and thought, and the little apprentice also learned a few pieces of work, but he didn't do the work alone, but he measured a few pieces.But the little apprentice has a background in Beijing opera, has sung on stage, and learned from some famous artists, and is quite popular.

At this juncture, should we let him try it?

Well, just give it a try.If the performance fails, others say that he is not good at teaching.

The master took the copper coins to pay Qishejiang rent, and said, "Then you can try it, if you can earn back your own food money, that's fine."

……

……

Shenglong Street, Capital City.

There are many libraries, teahouses, and theaters here, and it is one of the great places for performing arts in the city.

Qishejiang found the landlord and found out his identity. The other party weighed the money and said, "It's against the rules to give it for one day, but I know what's going on with you now, so I'll accommodate you once."

If Qishejiang couldn't gain a foothold here, after today, the land would be leased to others.

Looking at Qi Shejiang's young age, the landlord is not very optimistic about it. It took a lot of effort for his two senior brothers to gain a firm foothold here. He is a brat, so is it easy to support his senior brothers to hold the ground?

Every so often on the street, there were art buyers. When Qishejiang was standing on the ground holding his sanxian, some idle artists noticed him.

Qishejiang was usually in another place with his master. Some people felt embarrassed and wanted to go up to ask about his origin using a hanging kan'er (jargon), but they were stopped by his good eyesight.Indicating that this is Zhou Ganzi's young apprentice, the stage name is the junior of the brothers Mengdana.

Zhou Ganzi is Master's nickname.

Although Qishejiang had a teacher, many people actually fell in love with this land. The artists who usually had a good relationship with Meng Mengda were fine. Those who had a bad relationship all looked at Qishejiang with scrutiny.

It's not appropriate for colleagues to boo and plan work, but if Qishejiang's performance fails, let alone the audience, they will be the first to deceive people.

Qishejiang prepared by himself, as if he didn't know that many people were watching him.

Qi Shejiang plucked the three strings and sang, "The Han Dynasty has declined to the point of filial piety, and the world is barren and not peaceful. Landslides and earthquakes are many disasters, and there are hens who turn into males in the world. The black evil spirits fall in the Wende Hall, and the green jade appears in the Jade Emperor Hall." Hong. Just because he favored and trusted the ten servants, the thieves wore yellow scarves one after another..."

For what kind of audience, what kind of program to perform.

This is more than 80 years ago. Everyone’s daily pastime was listening to operas and books. Movies are not available to everyone. Quyi is the art form with the widest audience, and there are too many people who can appreciate it.

In modern times, when Qishejiang sang his son's book, he had to excerpt the most dazzling passages from "Ten Questions and Ten Answers" in order to shock the audience.

But now, he wants to start singing slowly from the beginning of "Ten Questions and Ten Answers".

This story was lost in the second half of the drum, and Qishejiang sang it here. Passers-by who heard the story of "Ten Questions and Ten Answers" may not know much about Zidi Shu, after all, there are few people performing it now. But they like to hear stories about Guan Yu and Diao Chan.

Journey to the West and Three Kingdoms have been big IPs that have been popular for many years now.

Coupled with Qishejiang's good strings and the charm of his voice, after a while, there were already a dozen people surrounded in front of him.

"... I envy you for defeating the Hebei soldiers and generals, laughing and beheading Yan Liang among the ten thousand armies. What did you say that Fan Kui was born again, and the king is no less than Chu Chongtong. Now that Wen Chou has come back to invade the country, he must subdue Huwei to put down the rebellion .”

This section was not as intense as the Allegro at the back, but Qishejiang used Zidishu's unique singing voice, Fishing for the Moon in the Sea. Although it was very slow, it required a lot of skill.

"it is good!!"

Only a few cheers were heard from the back of the crowd, and the audience who led to the front also clapped their hands. Those passing by were attracted by the cheers and stopped to listen to see what a good show it was.

After Qishejiang looked up at the crowd, he nodded slightly.Like a mirror in his heart, he took the lead in applauding just now, it was none other than those street performers who were staring at him and trying to grab the land!

Qishejiang showed his skills. These people are all experts, so they can tell whether Qishejiang is capable or not.

I didn't expect this kid to be young, but he has tall hands, good strings, and profound singing skills. He can also hear the background of Beijing opera.

These colleagues were convinced, not only stopped talking about finding fault, but also looked at him differently, gave him a support, and shouted at the joints, helping to heat up the atmosphere and attract passers-by.

This is money in the hands of slaves, art in the hands of pedestrians!It is also an unspoken rule that all the entertainers in the rivers and lakes keep silent!

……

Qishejiang sang a long section, and many people surrounded him. After collecting money once, he switched to stand-up comedy.

He said it happily, and the audience stayed and continued to listen.

Talk for a while, sing for a while, the weather is beautiful today, the weather is sunny, Qishejiang talked all morning, although his mouth was dry, but the audience didn't run away, and he knocked on the door a few times, everyone saw that he was young and his level Well, everyone is willing to appreciate the face.

Qishejiang did the math, and he earned four or five hundred copper coins.He was very happy in his heart, and when he came here, he found out by the way that the current "exchange rate", such a few coppers, is almost equivalent to more than one yuan.

This is far from paying back the cost, the land rent and food money are not a problem, and not only my own food money, but also Mengda’s food money, a young man eats for a day, that is, twenty or thirty coppers Of course, other living expenses, such as daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, will cost money.However, at least Qishejiang could help him stand up.

Qishejiang was thinking in his heart, now that he is going to have a meal, he is alone, and there is no one to fill the stage, and he will have to attract customers again in the afternoon.If the situation is good, you can earn another two or three hundred coppers,

If I go to Xiayao Street in the evening and earn more money, I can subsidize the medical expenses.If you don't take medicine, how can the younger brother get better quickly.

Although the juniors have all become his senior brothers now, in Qishejiang's heart, he still treats them as boys, and he only wants to work hard for a while to cure them.

Qishejiang was thinking about it, but saw the landlord coming out of the nearby teahouse and beckoning to him. When Qishejiang passed by, the landlord pointed to a sloppy man next to him: "Here, this is Boss Wu." Brother Wu. Mrs. Wu posted a post for your senior brother for her birthday, and I said your senior brother is staying at home, but now you are the one who said it, and the post is the same for you."

Although Qishejiang didn't have any "Boss Wu" in his memory, he knew that he was probably a local hooligan in Juncheng. The so-called birthday post was just a way of making money.

These quack entertainers, if they don't give money, people will make trouble, the audience will disperse, and they won't be able to earn a penny, so they just have to pay the money obediently.

The man thought that Qishejiang was young, and it was his first time to perform as a performer, so he didn't understand the rules there, so he said, "Our godmother is celebrating her birthday, so the little brother can just give you two yuan."

It's not that Qishejiang doesn't know, but is hesitating.

What this person said was very simple, two yuan, which is the cost of many people's families for a few days, and a decent job only earns a few dozen yuan a month.And he, who was sweating from what he said just now, managed to earn a little more than one dollar.

To put it this way, when it comes to the evening today, it is estimated that it is just enough to pay the money, and it is not bad to have enough money for the meal.

The joy of making money just now disappeared. Qishejiang pinched his pockets and didn't want to agree. For the current family, this money is too important.Alas, although I can see Master and Junior Brothers again, the current environment is really terrible.

"What's the matter, isn't that happy, kid?" The little rascal would also read Qi Shejiang's expression, his expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab his skirt, "What are you, dare you not accept our elder brother's post? You Do you still want to perform in the city?"

Qishejiang had to put his feet on his feet, and before he could say anything, he saw a hand stretched out from his ear to the rascal.One hand was just down, the point was that this hand was holding a black long gun, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed tightly against the little rascal's chin.

The little hooligan's legs were limp, he raised his hands, and he didn't dare to move his face, his nose was about to come down: "Big, big, please forgive me..."

In Juncheng, there are not many people who can swing a gun on the street and point at people casually.

Is it lucky to meet a nobleman and rescue him today?

Qishejiang turned around and saw the man's face, but was almost overwhelmed by surprise.

Zhang Yue?Why is Zhang Yue here? !

Qishejiang thought a lot for a moment, he is not in the modern state now, did Zhang Yue recognize him?Or is it just a coincidence that they look similar?

I saw this man with Zhang Yue's face but wearing a suit said to the little hooligan in a vicious voice, "Who the hell did you threaten just now?"

Qishejiang: ... Zhang Yue is right!
