Chapter 58 act five

At night, the lights shine obliquely, and the stage is full of golden light. In the corner of the Niangniang Temple, under the thick pillars, Chen Bi and his dog are curled up.Dogs can be played by humans.There was a broken iron bowl in front of him, and there were some bills and coins in the iron bowl.Two wooden crutches are placed beside him. Chen Mei was dressed in a black robe and a black veil on her face, appearing like a ghost. Two men in black and black veils followed her on stage. Chen Mei: (wailing) child...my child...where are you...my child...where are you... Two men in black approached Chen Mei.

Chen Mei: Who are you? Why are you also wearing black clothes and covering your face? Oh, I see, you are also victims of that fire... Man in Black: Yes, we are also victims. Chen Mei: (soberly) No, the victims of the fire were all female workers, but you were clearly male. Second Man in Black: We are victims of another fire. Chen Mei: Then you are very pitiful... Man in Black: Yes, we are very poor. Chen Mei: You are in pain... Man in Black B: Yes, we are in pain... Chen Mei: Have you ever had skin grafts? Man in black: (incomprehensible) What kind of skin was planted? Chen Mei: Peel off the good skin from your buttocks, thighs, and places where you were not burned, and stick it on Didn’t you have planted the burnt area? Man in Black B: Planted, planted, the skin on our buttocks was peeled off by the doctor and pasted on the face...

Chen Mei: Have they ever planted your eyebrows? Man A in black: Yes, yes. Chen Mei: Do they use your hair or your pubic hair? Man in Black B: What? Pubic hair can also be turned into eyebrows? Chen Mei: If the scalp is completely burned, then only pubic hair is used, and pubic hair is better than nothing Well, if you don't even have pubic hair, you'll have to be naked like a frog. Man in black: Yes, yes, we have no hair, we are naked like frogs. Chen Mei: Have you ever looked in the mirror? Man in Black B: We never look in the mirror. Chen Mei: What we burn patients are most afraid of is the mirror, and what they hate the most is also the mirror.

Black Courier A: Yes, we smash mirrors whenever we see them. Chen Mei: That's useless, smashing the mirror, but you can't smash the shop windows, the marble floor, the water that can reflect people's shadows, and the eyes that look at us, they will see us. If you scream, you will run away, and children will even cry when they are scared. They call us ghosts and demons. Their eyes are our mirrors, so there are endless mirrors.The best way is to hide your face. Man in Black B: That's right, so we covered our faces with black veils. Chen Mei: Have you ever thought about committing suicide? Man in Black B: We...

Chen Mei: As far as I know, five of our wounded sisters committed suicide.Suicide after looking in the mirror... Man in Black: It's all because of the mirror! Man in Black B: That's why we smashed mirrors whenever we saw them. Chen Mei: I originally wanted to commit suicide, but then I didn't want to... Man A in Black: It's better to live than to die! Chen Mei: Ever since I was pregnant, ever since I felt that little life beating in my stomach, I don't want to die.I feel that I am an ugly cocoon, and there is a beautiful life conceived in it. When it breaks out of the cocoon, I become an empty shell.

Man in Black B: Well said. Chen Mei: After I gave birth to my child, I did not become an empty shell and die on my own. I found that I lived a happier life. My skin seemed moistened, my breasts were full of milk...birth gave me new life...but they took my baby away... Man in Black: Come with us, we know where your child is. Chen Mei: Do you know where my child is? Man in Black B: We came to you to help you meet your child. Chen Mei: (excitedly) Thank God, you take me away quickly, take me to see my child... The man in black held Chen's eyebrows and wanted to get down. The dog beside Chen Bi rushed forward like an arrow, and bit the man in black's left leg.

Chen Bi also jumped up, and with two crutches, he jumped forward, supported his body with a single crutch, and used the other crutch to smash towards the second man in black. The man in black got rid of the dog and Chen Bi, retreated to the side of the stage, and showed a dagger or other murder weapon in his hand.Chen Bi stood with the dog.Chen Mei stood at the front desk, forming a triangle with them. Chen Bi: (snarled) Let go of my daughter! Man A in Black: You old bastard, old drunkard, old rascal, old beggar, how dare you pretend to be your daughter. Black Cousin B: You said she was your daughter. Call her and see if she agrees? Chen Bi: Sister... my poor daughter...

Chen Mei: (coldly) Did you admit the wrong person? You must have the wrong person. Chen Bi: (sadly) My sister, I know you hate father, father is sorry for you, sorry for your sister, sorry for your mother, father harmed you, father is a sinner, father is a useless person, father is half dead and half alive Dead and alive... Black Watch Man A: Is this called repentance? Is there a church nearby? Black Man B: Twenty miles east along the river, there is a Catholic church that has just been restored. Chen Bi: My sister, Dad knows that you have been fooled by them, and the person who lied to you is an old friend of Dad, Dad wants to help you get justice!

Man A in Black: Old man, go aside and stay. Man in Black B: Girl, come with us, we promise to let you see your child. Chen Mei walked towards the man in black, but Chen Bi and the dog stepped forward to stop her. Chen Mei: (Angrily) Who are you? Why do you stop me? Do you know that I am going to find my child? My child has never had a mouthful of milk since he was born.If you don't feed him, he will starve to death, do you know that? Chen Bi: My sister, you hate me, I understand; you deny me, I agree.But you can't go with them, they sold your child, if you go with them, they will push you into the river to drown, and then fake a scene where you jumped into the river to commit suicide, such things, they have done more than one time...

Man A in black: Old man, I think you have lived enough. Is there such a dirty person who is innocent? Man B in black: What nonsense are you talking about? In a society like ours.How can there be such ugly phenomena of murder and assassination as you mentioned? Man in black: He must have watched too many videos in roadside shops. Man in Black B: I have hallucinations in my mind. Man in Black: Think of socialism as capitalism. Man in Black B: Treating a good guy as a bad guy. Man A in Black: Treat kindness as the liver and lungs of a donkey. Chen Bi: You are the liver and lungs of donkeys, the offal of cows, the filth of cats and dogs, the dregs of society...

Man in Black B: He still calls us the scum of society? You pig that forages from the trash, do you know what we do? Chen Bi: Of course I know what you do.I not only know what you do, but also what you have done. Man A in Black: I think it's time to invite you to the river for a cold bath. Man in Black B: Tomorrow morning, those who come to burn incense and tie dolls will find that the old beggar who was begging at the gate of the temple is missing, and even his lame dog is missing. Black Watch Man A: Nobody cares about this. Men A and B in black fought with Chen Bi and his dog. The dog was killed and Chen Bi was knocked down.When the two men in black were about to stab Chen Bi to death, Chen Mei tore off her veil, showing a hideous face, and screamed like a ghost, scaring the two men in black away from Chen Bi and fled. - the curtain falls
