Chapter 8 Chapter 3 Legend·Story-2

one In the eighteenth year of the Republic of China, the theater owner Rui Yanqiu's theater was crumbling in the wind and rain.It seems to be a prophet, anticipating the inevitable situation of turmoil many years later.Because, before this layer of turbulence invaded with great fanfare, it had already made a forecast to all the people in advance, with exquisite accuracy like a seismograph. Rui Yanqiu relies on this theater to support a large family: the old lady, the silly younger sister, and her daughter Rui Xiyu who is studying in Fahan Middle School.Xiyu has studied opera since she was a child and has a good voice.But she did not worship the master.There was Hua Dan practicing her voice in the theater, she sang along with them, and she took down many classic plays in a short time, she was very clever.All the young and old in the theater have heard her plays.As soon as Xiyu raised her voice, all the men in the garden dropped their work and ran to a place not far from her to attend an opera.Her voice was like icy water, making her whole body feel smooth."Daiyu's Burial of Flowers" sung by Xiyu can force tears out of the eye sockets.Boss Rui thinks that the status of an actress is too low, and he is a subordinate. He is afraid that the girl will be looked down upon by others in the future, so he refuses to let Xiyu continue to sing.So, he spent dozens of dollars and entrusted a friend in the French Concession to send Xiyu to French-Han Middle School.

It's a big deal to get into middle school.Xiyu was learning civilized drama again, and followed the male classmates at school to put up signs and shout slogans on the street, and she suddenly became wild.Boss Rui regretted it, and muttered that it would be better to let her sing in the theater, so that she could calm down.Besides, after a hundred years, this theater will also be her property, and she can be regarded as a boss by then, and her status will be somewhat higher than that of an opera singer.Once Xiyu entered the school, she was like a kite in a strong wind.Boss Rui wanted to drag her back, but he didn't have the strength to do so.The kite was so tense in the wind, that the string would snap immediately with a brute force.Once the thread is broken, the kite can no longer be retrieved.Boss Rui speculated from side to side, thinking that although there are many people in the new school, it may be a pure land compared to the opera garden.

You may say, what is there in the opera garden, isn't it just a place for listening to operas and singing operas?You must not come to the theater very often.You don't know that there is such a well-known phenomenon in the theater.Many beautiful female dans eventually became aunts and grandmas in the families of powerful masters.Although being the aunt of a wealthy family feels like her status has risen to a higher level, in fact, these women are really down.The main wives of these people's families were all rich and powerful ladies at the beginning. If the men really did something out of the ordinary, they had plenty of ways to deal with him.If they really don't want to get promoted and get rich, then they will fight against the wives.Don't tell me, there really is such a person.Zhang Ruixiang, General Zhang, who took away the popular Huadan Xiao Huangyu in our theater back then, was determined to divorce his wife.But this state did not last long.General Zhang's wife is not an easy boss. When she gets angry, she throws dishes and bowls, which is a trivial matter; she is better at putting pressure on others.So, the pressure from friends, family, and superiors was like three mountains pressing firmly on his shoulders, in order to let him know that you were the first to be unkind, so don't blame me for being unrighteous.In the end, General Zhang obediently returned home and bowed his head to admit his mistake, promising not to do it again.Even if he had a conscience, he bought Xiao Huangyu an outhouse on the side of West Street, and he didn't come here more than two or three times a year, and the money was in the hands of his wife, let alone that.

No one is a fool. These women, like little topaz, bloom at the most beautiful moment, flash in the pan, and are destroyed at the most brilliant moment.Pity them, and later all of them became bitter wives, smoking opium, drinking, eating, drinking and having fun, and their lives were full of chaos.It's just that occasionally when I wake up in the morning, I see the morning sun sprinkle a touch of red in the yard, so I raise my voice, and tears flow down. Rui Yanqiu has seen this a lot, so naturally she doesn't want her daughter to wade into this muddy water one day.However, in the face of the increasingly depressed theater, Boss Rui's eyes turned red with anxiety.He ran back and forth to the Liyuan branch, but he didn't pick a suitable candidate.Most of the actors who sang Danjiao in the theater followed the masters and officers.The rest of them didn't sing very well.There is also a raw horn singer named Hu Mengchun, who is about the same age as Xiyu.Most of those who are still cheering enthusiastically are female relatives, and they are all here for Hu Mengchun.If there is one more dan role that can sing well, it will be the best of both worlds.

All eyes were on Xiyu. two Yuan Siye's old lady celebrated her 70th birthday and was going to hold a church party in Yuan's mansion, and asked Boss Rui to take the troupe there. The old lady didn't know who said it, so she asked Xiyu to sing Concubine Yu by name.Yuan Siye is a figure on the scene in Tianjin Port, and the people below can't afford to offend him.It's the old lady's birthday, so she dare not miss this job.Now that you have accepted it, you have to sing it well, so that Fourth Master Yuan will have face.Since accepting the meeting, Boss Rui reminded Xiyu every day, lest she play a civilized show at school and forget all about the meeting later.Who knows, on the day of the old lady's birthday, the whole troupe will be ready, and Xiyu will be waiting for her alone.After waiting and waiting, Xiyu still didn't come back.Boss Rui was in a hurry now, and immediately called me to him and said, "Si'er, go to the middle school and get Xiyu back, hurry up!"

I didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to Xiyu's school.As long as Boss Rui orders, I will do it honestly.When my parents fled and came to Tianjin Port, they were so hungry that they fell in front of Boss Rui's door and entrusted me to Boss Rui before they died.Boss Rui was kind, and Mrs. Rui had not given birth to Xiyu at that time, so she took me in as her godson.In private, I call him Dad, but on the scene others call him Boss Rui.Even Xiyu didn't know this. As soon as I got out of the theatre, I didn't walk very far when I saw Xiyu coming from a distance, followed by a male student.This man's name is Zhao Baocheng. Since the day Xiyu entered Fahan Middle School, he has been following Xiyu like a fly. Xiyu wants to get rid of him, but there must be a way.

"Xiyu, Xiyu, slow down! I haven't finished talking yet." Zhao Baocheng shouted while chasing after Xiyu.Zhao Baocheng is a well-known swinger in the neighborhood, he only looks for beautiful girls to hang out with. As soon as Xiyu entered the school, Zhao Baocheng fell in love with him immediately, so he ran with Xiyu every day.There are two types of students in Fahan Middle School, one is the children of rich families, and entering the school can make the family icing on the cake; In the future, I will be able to stand out and change the status quo of my family.Zhao Baocheng naturally belongs to the former.Zhao Baocheng's father, Zhao Zhikang, was an official in a Japanese office in Tianjin Port. To put it bluntly, he was a traitor.He bowed his head and bowed in front of the Japanese, like a pug, but when he came in front of the Chinese, he straightened his waist, and his air was more tense than anyone else.With such a father, Zhao Baocheng certainly couldn't learn well, and he learned Zhao Zhikang's set of principles of doing things better than anyone else.Xiyu knew that he was not a good guy, so she never talked to him.On the contrary, Zhao Baocheng, Xiyu slammed him like a fly, and he was not bothered, as soon as he pointed at Xiyu, his face smiled like a flower, as annoying as he wanted.

"Xiyu!" Zhao Baoyan grabbed Xiyu's sleeve, and with great strength, he grabbed Xiyu. Xiyu was very upset, she shook his hand vigorously, and said bluntly: "If you have something to say, why don't you drag me to do it?" Zhao Baocheng quickly laughed along with him, and said, "Xiyu, if you can listen to what I have to say, do I still need to drag you?" Xiyu rolled Zhao Baocheng's eyes and said, "Then hurry up, I have to go back to the theater, I have something to do." Hearing what Xiyu said, Zhao Baocheng seemed to be taking advantage of it: "Xiyu, how about I invite you to watch a movie in the British Concession?"

Xiyu waved her hand impatiently, and said, "No, I'm not free. Fourth Master Yuan is holding a concert today, and I have to go back to sing the concert." Zhao Baocheng said: "Are you making fun of me? How can such a coincidence happen? I invited you to watch a movie, and Fourth Master Yuan also held a party?" Seeing this, I hurried up to Xiyu and said, "Xiyu, Boss Rui and his family are waiting for you. Hurry up, the theater troupe, young and old, is waiting for you alone." Seeing me coming, Xiyu called "Fourth Brother", feeling as if she was looking for a savior, grabbed me, then turned her head and said to Zhao Baocheng, "Have you seen it? Didn't you say anything this time?"

Zhao Baocheng looked reconciled and wanted to say something, but I saw that the momentum was wrong, so I hurriedly dragged Xiyu to the theater.Xiyu followed me, covering her mouth and laughing secretly.Zhao Baocheng fell behind us, stomping his feet angrily. Fourth Master Yuan's house was quite lively.A platform was set up in the yard, and there were tables under the platform. When we arrived, there were already many people sitting there.Seeing that we were late, Fourth Master Yuan was a little unhappy, but today is my mother's birthday after all, so he refrained from saying anything.Fourth Master Yuan pointed to the back of the table and said, "Boss Rui, please go ahead."

While wiping the sweat from his forehead, Boss Rui kept bowing to Fourth Master Yuan: "Fourth Master Yuan, I'm really sorry, there were some delays on the way. Please forgive me, forgive me." Fourth Master Yuan didn't say anything else, nodded, and walked towards Mrs. Yuan with his hands behind his back.Boss Rui gave Xiyu a gouged look, and led the troupe towards the back of the stage.The young and old in the troupe began to prepare for the play. The first few plays were naturally more lively, singing a few birthday plays, and when people started to get tired, another play was performed, which set off a climax in the whole hall. The first few plays were over one by one, and Xiyu had finished her make-up, except for her outfit.She raised the curtain and looked out.She watched, then suddenly shrank her head back, turned her face to Boss Rui, and said, "Dad, why does Fourth Master Yuan have something to do with the Japanese?" Boss Rui was startled, and immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!" After the reprimand, he went to the curtain to look outside.I followed Boss Rui and leaned forward together, and saw a Japanese officer clearly seated in the front row under the table.The front row is full of seats for important people, what is the relationship between this little Japan and Fourth Master Yuan, so that Fourth Master Yuan can arrange him in the front row? Xiyu curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and said, "I think Fourth Master Yuan is someone, but I never thought I'd hang out with Little Japan!" After hearing this, Boss Rui quickly gestured and said, "Xiyu, don't you know that talking too much will always make mistakes? Shut up!" Hu Mengchun, who sang the Overlord to Xiyu, leaned forward, lifted the curtain to take a look, then retracted, and said, "Little man, shameless." Boss Rui glared at Hu Mengchun and said, "No one thinks you are dumb. Can you two shut up?" Xiyu made a face at Hu Mengchun and went to put on the headdress.Hu Mengchun also smiled at her.His face was smeared with black and white oil paint, and he grinned, revealing two rows of dazzling white teeth. Hu Mengchun is an actor in Boss Rui's troupe. He looks energetic and walks with wind in his feet.Many ladies and ladies who often come to the troupe come to see Hu Mengchun.Before he was singing, he seldom appeared in the theater troupe. As long as there was his play, he would definitely come to the theater early, walk through the clothes, paint the face, and do it meticulously.Xiyu and Hu Mengchun supported one side of the theater troupe.Boss Rui always felt that ever since he sang Overlord to Xiyu a few times, Xiyu and him looked at each other, and the eyes were wrong.Boss Rui felt that although his family background was not very good, he was really not happy to let his daughter marry an actor.It's not that he despises Hu Mengchun, they are all low-level, who can despise whom?He was thinking of Xi Yuhao. Ever since Mrs. Rui gave birth to Xiyu, her health was really not very good, and Xiyu passed away before her first birthday.Boss Rui looked at this girl, no matter how she looked like her mother, her heart ached.Xiyu has never been wronged since she was a child. If she wants something, Boss Rui will satisfy her.It was also for her own good that she was sent to Fahan Middle School.After entering Fahan Middle School, I can change my living situation. After graduation, Xiyu doesn't have to stay in the low-level position, and can live a good life.Boss Rui had just such a wish.But if he really met Hu Mengchun this time, it would mean that all Boss Rui's painstaking efforts were in vain.What worried him even more was that once he heard a few out-of-the-box apprentices secretly discussing that Hu Mengchun was an underground Communist Party.On the surface, Boss Rui scolded the talkative little apprentices, but he panicked in his heart.This matter is not sure, and it is not easy for anyone to ask.What's more, how to ask?So, Boss Rui asked me to watch secretly, lest the two of them do something bad. "Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu is here." A young apprentice opened the curtain and came in, shouting at Xiyu. Xiyu stretched out her clothes, lifted the curtain and walked out, and there was an immediate applause from the audience. When the singing was over, Fourth Master Yuan came backstage, his face was glowing red, and he seemed very satisfied.Needless to say?When Xiyu sang Concubine Yu on stage, the old lady sat in the middle and kept calling "Shang", very happy.Fourth Master Yuan is a dutiful son, and there is nothing that makes him feel more at ease than the happiness of an old lady.Fourth Master Yuan sat down on a chair and said to Boss Rui, Xiyu and Hu Mengchun, "You three, please sit down." With a smile on his face, Boss Rui pulled Xiyu back a step and said, "Don't dare, dare not." Fourth Master Yuan nodded, and said, "Miss Rui sings well in this play, and the old lady likes it very much. And this one." Fourth Master Yuan turned his gaze to Hu Mengchun, and continued, "What's your surname?" Hu Mengchun bowed to Fourth Master Yuan, and said, "Fourth Master Yuan is too polite. I'm Hu Mengchun." Fourth Master Yuan nodded, picked up a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Boss Rui, today's play is really well sung. I'll ask the accountant to pay twice as much as Xie Yi." Before Boss Rui could thank you, Hu Mengchun opened his mouth first: "Fourth Master Yuan, there is one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask Fourth Master Yuan." Boss Rui probably understood what Hu Mengchun wanted to say when he heard it, and immediately tugged him vigorously, and said to Fourth Master Yuan, "Fourth Master Yuan, this kid has never seen the scene and is not sensible. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." care." Fourth Master Yuan looked interested, he smiled and said, "It's okay, let him talk and I'll listen." Hu Mengchun took a step forward and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I think you know the truth. What I want to ask is, how did Fourth Master Yuan fight with Little Japan?" Fourth Master Yuan smiled and said, "So that's the matter. You don't understand this matter. Mr. Yamamoto is not what you think. He is not keen on war, he is a pacifist. He has a great respect for Beijing opera." Attitude. I invited him here today because of this." Hu Mengchun was aggressive: "Fourth Master Yuan invites the Japanese, isn't he afraid that other people will gossip?" Fourth Master Yuan was a little unhappy this time, and said: "Who is talking gossip? Let me see if you tell me something? You are not afraid of the shadow if you are upright!" Boss Rui panicked, and hurriedly said, "Fourth Master Yuan, this kid doesn't understand the rules. Please forgive me, forgive me." Fourth Master Yuan stood up with a civilized stick, and said, "Boss Rui, bullies don't forgive people." After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out. As soon as Fourth Master Yuan left, Boss Rui gave Hu Mengchun a scolding: "Aren't you impatient? Who treats you as dumb or something, what can you do if you don't say a word? I don't know that if you talk too much, you will lose it? Fourth Master Yuan Who is it that can be offended?" Hu Mengchun lowered his head and did not speak.Xiyu tugged Hu Mengchun's sleeve from behind, the two of them lowered their heads, covered their mouths and smiled. three Just two days after Mrs. Yuan's birthday, Fourth Master Yuan personally took Xie Yi to the theater.But Fourth Master Yuan did not come alone. He was accompanied by a young man with a young man behind him. From what I saw, he looked like the Japanese military officer invited by Fourth Master Yuan on the day of the concert.Xiyu also noticed it, and quickly poked Hu Mengchun with her elbow.Hu Mengchun also reacted at this time, and his face fell immediately. Boss Rui was flattered to see Fourth Master Yuan coming to the troupe in person, and hurriedly ordered his young apprentice to pour good tea, and then invited Fourth Master Yuan to the upper seat in the living room.Boss Rui led the way, then turned around and said to Xiyu, "You, and Mengchun, come to the house later." After hearing this, Xiyu pouted at Hu Mengchun unhappily.Hu Mengchun turned sideways and said something in Xiyu's ear, Xiyu immediately grinned.Then, Xiyu and Hu Mengchun entered the room one after the other.I followed them and went in too. Fourth Master Yuan sat on the seat, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.Seeing Xiyu and Hu Mengchun coming in, he nodded at them.Fourth Master Yuan squeezed the teacup, put it down, then pointed to the Japanese and said: "I brought a friend today, he wants to meet you, and I want to bring you a gift, you have met this friend before, On the day of my mother's birthday, you also saw it." After listening to Fourth Master Yuan's words, Boss Rui realized that the young man he had always looked familiar to was the Japanese officer that Xiyu and Hu Mengchun were talking about that day.Boss Rui really didn't understand what Fourth Master Yuan meant by bringing this young man to the theater.As he said, this Japanese is polite and wants to give it to Xiyu and Mengchun?If this is the case, should the gift be accepted or not?Yuan Siye couldn't afford to offend him, let alone the Japanese.Boss Rui thought about it, sweat pouring out of his face.On a hot day, Boss Rui kept wiping his forehead with his sleeves. The Japanese stepped forward, put down the box in his arms, and untied a sword from behind.He opened the box, and inside was a set of dazzling headgear.Seeing this, Xiyu sighed involuntarily.The Japanese smiled slightly, then pulled the sword out of the scabbard again, and with a bang, a bright white light was reflected on Xiyu's face.Hu Mengchun couldn't help sighing. Seeing Xiyu and Hu Mengchun's reactions, Fourth Master Yuan and the Japanese felt very satisfied.The Japanese put the sword back into the scabbard and said, "This sword is left by my grandfather. I think it is very suitable for Mr. Hu, so I will give it to Mr. Hu." Hu Mengchun rolled his eyes, and said: "Since ancient times, the sword rewards a confidant, and I appreciate Yuan Siye's kindness, but this thing, I can't bear it." After hearing this sentence, the creases on Boss Rui's face were all squeezed together.While wiping his sweat, he observed Fourth Master Yuan's expression.The expression on Yuan Siye's face was very steady, unexpectedly he didn't lose his temper.He picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Then tell me, why can't you accept it?" Hu Mengchun pointed at the Japanese, and said: "Just because he is your so-called friend! Fourth Master Yuan, you are also a man of honor in Tianjin Port, and you have been fighting with the Japanese, so you are not afraid of retribution in secret?" After hearing what he said, Fourth Master Yuan suddenly burst out laughing.He stood up on the chair, clapped his hands at Hu Mengchun, and said, "Okay, young man, you have courage. That Yamada, come here and introduce yourself." The Japanese came up from behind Yuan Siye, straightened the corners of his clothes, saluted everyone, and said, "Hi, I am Qian Zonghui from the National Army. Now I am pretending to be a Japanese foreign officer with makeup, and my name is changed to Yamada. I apologize for any misunderstandings before." The people present were all dumbfounded when they heard this.Why did a Japanese suddenly become a member of the national government?Fourth Master Yuan went to the door, closed the door, then turned around and said, "Mr. Qian secretly unloaded the small Japanese Yamada, because he came from Beiping to deliver orders to the captain of the gendarmerie at Tianjin Port. This Yamada is a newcomer, and people in Tianjin Port have never seen him before, so Mr. Qian slaughtered Yamada and sneaked in at the risk of his life." Hu Mengchun didn't believe it, and said, "Why do Japanese devils believe you?" Mr. Qian replied: "They have no reason not to believe it. First of all, they have never met Yamada. The second is that I still have Yamada's appointment notice and superior certificate in my hand. I also have friends who have studied abroad in Japan, and I can speak Japanese." Hu Mengchun smiled and said, "Then why do you trust us? Are you afraid that we will sell you too?" Mr. Qian said: "With Boss Hu's aura, I can guarantee that you will not betray me." Before Mr. Rui could break in, Xiyu took the conversation again: "It's extremely dangerous to join the gendarmerie. Let me tell you, one of the government officials named Zhao Zhikang is a traitor." Boss, Zhao Zhikang always deals with the gendarmerie, you have to watch out for this dog!" Yuan Siye listened, nodded, and said: "This is also the purpose of bringing him here today. Zhao Zhikang has already doubted Mr. Qian. Some intelligence agents said that he always invites the captain of the gendarmerie to his home in private. , we are talking about Yamada." Hu Mengchun said: "Then what are you going to do?" Fourth Master Yuan said, "Well, Boss Rui, I want to borrow a word from Boss Hu, is that okay?" Even if Boss Rui had a hundred reluctances in his heart, he couldn't refuse Fourth Master Yuan, and he had no reason to refuse him.However, he could probably guess what Fourth Master Yuan, Mr. Qian and Hu Mengchun were going to say next.I saw a series of subtle changes in expression on his face.Boss Rui didn't say anything after all, and dragged Xiyu out. As soon as he went out, Boss Rui threw a sentence at Xiyu: "I don't care what Fourth Master Yuan wants Hu Mengchun to do, I'll leave it to you first, and you are not allowed to have anything to do with it!" Xiyu yelled behind Boss Rui, stomping her feet angrily. Four No one noticed that Zhao Baocheng also went to Mrs. Yuan's 70th birthday.Zhao Baocheng naturally went with his father Zhao Zhikang.Fourth Master Yuan invited Zhao Zhikang probably to deal with him.Zhao Zhikang is not a good thing, if you make him feel bad, he will pay you back ten times.Yuan Siye is a figure in Tianjin Port anyway, half of Tianjin Port has to know about the old lady's birthday.If Zhao Zhikang was missing for such a thing, Fourth Master Yuan would be of no use. Zhao Baocheng saw Xiyu singing Concubine Yu under the stage, and he didn't know how happy he was.From that day on, Zhao Baocheng followed Xiyu to the theater every day, clinging to him like flies.Boss Rui didn't like it when he saw it, but he couldn't afford to offend him.When he came, he had to serve him with good tea.Seeing his slutty appearance on the chair, I really feel bad. Thinking of the immoral things his father Zhao Zhikang did, I can't wait to go up and slap him.But what can I do?He is a master. All the young and old in the theater want to eat and survive. Who dares to provoke the king of Hades? Hu Mengchun looked at Zhao Baocheng, and it was not pleasing to his eyes.Especially watching him entangle Xiyu, Hu Mengchun definitely felt uncomfortable.Every time he came, Hu Mengchun stared at him.Zhao Baocheng didn't take it seriously, anyway, the purpose of his coming was to please Yu, so he didn't care what other people looked at him.Don't talk about others, even if Xiyu rolled his eyes at him, wouldn't he still run after Xiyu? When he was free, Hu Mengchun always talked to Xiyu about state affairs and the fight against Japan.Xiyu was fascinated when he heard that.To be honest, not only Xiyu, I listened to it, and I also felt that the blood all over my body was on fire.Hu Mengchun has such an inciting power. "Xiyu, let me tell you," Hu Mengchun said, "we plan to kill Zhao Zhikang." Xiyu was startled and said, "Kill Zhao Zhikang?" Hu Mengchun nodded and said, "Yes, kill Zhao Zhikang. Zhao Zhikang is the leader of the traitor, you know that. Do you know how many people of our country he killed behind his back?" Xiyu listened, her eyebrows twitched together: "Fourth Master Yuan, apart from talking about killing Zhao Zhikang, what else did he have?" Hu Mengchun looked solemn, and said: "This matter cannot be told to outsiders. I discussed it with Yuan Siye and Mr. Qian that day. Although my goal is obvious, in Zhao Zhikang's eyes, I am just a showman and will not attract his attention. It’s best for me to do it.” Xiyu nodded slightly, but her face was full of worry.Hu Mengchun went on to say: "Xiyu, you may need your help in this matter. Aren't you and that Zhao Baocheng classmates? You can use him to inquire about Zhao Zhikang, the best way is to get in his house!" I listened from the sidelines, and quickly interrupted: "Hey Xiyu, this is not acceptable! Mr. Rui just said that day..." Xiyu interrupted me and said, "Fourth brother, my father is my father, and I am me! Mengchun, go ahead." "If you can find out about Zhao Zhikang's family, we can find a way to sneak in! Zhao Zhikang has no right to live. If he continues to live, he doesn't know how many traitorous things he will do to seek glory! Not killing is not enough to anger the people!" "Yo, that's right. You're quite courageous. Is my father the one you said you could kill by assassination?" While talking, Zhao Baocheng suddenly lifted the curtain from the door, revealing his head.Seeing that both Xiyu and Hu Mengcheng stood up in shock, he walked into the room swaggeringly. Hu Mengchun instinctively swept Xiyu behind him, looked directly at Zhao Baocheng, and said, "What do you want?" "I didn't think about it." Zhao Baocheng said, "Rui Xiyu, come out. I have something to tell you." At this time, Zhao Baocheng was different from usual, and this time he put on an air.Xiyu knew Zhao Baocheng's purpose.She glanced at Hu Mengchun, and was about to follow Zhao Baocheng outside.Hu Mengchun also understood what Zhao Baocheng meant, so he stopped Xiyu and said in a low voice, "Don't go." Hu Mengchun raised his head and said to Zhao Baocheng, "Tell me what you have to say." Zhao Baocheng shook his head: "Can I tell you? Rui Xiyu, you come out, if you don't come out, I don't care if you regret it later." Xiyu was a little hesitant, she looked at me, then at Hu Mengchun.I said, "How about I call Boss Rui?" Xiyu quickly said: "Fourth brother, don't tell my father. This is my own business. My father knows and wants to drive Meng Chun away." After she finished speaking, she followed Zhao Baocheng out. Zhao Baocheng walked into the yard, stopped, and said to Xiyu, "Rui Xiyu, let me be straightforward. If I tell my father about Hu Mengchun, he will go to the gendarmerie jail." I see you don't want him in either, do you?" Xi Yu gave Zhao Baocheng a white look: "What are you thinking?" Zhao Baocheng had a salivating smile on his face. While looking Xiyu up and down, he walked around her back and forth and said, "You know what I want to do. Rui Xiyu, if you are nice to me, I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything today." .” "You're dreaming!" Hu Mengchun rushed out of the room at this moment, and slapped Zhao Baocheng violently.Hu Mengchun practiced kung fu since he was a child, and when he slapped him, Zhao Baocheng's face turned red all over.Zhao Baocheng didn't stand still, staggered, and sat down on the ground with a "slap".Hu Mengchun threw himself on Zhao Baocheng, slapped him twice, then grabbed Zhao Baocheng by the collar and shouted: "Zhao Baocheng, you bastard! Get out! Get out! " Zhao Baocheng turned over and sat up, pointed at Hu Mengchun's face, and said, "Hu Mengchun, you are the Communist Party! Let me tell you, Rui Xiyu, I remembered it today! I will settle this account with you sooner or later!" He said viciously He spat on the ground, stood up and ran out. I always felt that something had to happen. I didn't think about it, and within a few days, the uneasiness in my heart came true. As usual, Xiyu and Hu Mengchun had to sing one night a week.Ever since the two of them sang at the banquet at Fourth Master Yuan's house, most of the people in Tianjin Port knew that the daughter of Rui Yanqiu's family was amazing at singing Concubine Yu.When this play was performed, the theatre was always full, with people standing next to each other, and when you looked at it from the stage, it was just a black mass of heads. I looked at the private room on the second floor and it seemed that there were many gendarmerie personnel.Boss Rui looked a little strange, and muttered softly: "I didn't say anyone was coming today, why is this formation?" I knew in my heart that this might be Zhao Baocheng's recklessness.But I couldn't tell Boss Rui that, I promised Xiyu not to tell Boss Rui about it. Boss Rui muttered in a low voice, then walked behind the stage.I followed Boss Rui and walked behind the stage together.Xiyu had already put on her outfit, and as soon as the zither and drum sounded, she lifted the curtain and went on stage. "Since I have been fighting with the king, suffering from wind, frost and toil, year after year..." Xiyu sang on it.Sitting under the stage, Hu Mengchun also seemed to feel uneasy.After thinking about it, he pulled me aside and said, "Fourth brother, I have to play soon. I feel that the momentum is not right today, and something is about to happen. Zhao Baocheng is not at ease. I just said this, if I have something Unexpectedly, you took good care of Xiyu for me." Before I had time to agree, I just heard shouts from outside: "Your Majesty is back to camp!" Hearing this sound, Hu Mengchun squeezed my hand tightly with his hands, then let go, and walked onto the stage. As soon as Hu Mengchun came to the stage, he heard a shout from outside: "Grab him!" I quickly lifted the curtain to see, and sure enough, Zhao Baocheng was standing in a private room on the second floor, directing a group of military police downstairs. .The gendarmes ran to the stage with their guns in their hands, and directly put the guns against Hu Mengchun's back.The audience immediately became chaotic, and there was a lot of shouting.But the gendarmerie stood around, everyone was carrying a gun, and the expression on their faces was like the king of Hades. A few young people wanted to take advantage of the chaos and run out, but they were blocked by the gendarmerie. .The piano and drum master squatted at the foot of the stage, trembling all over.A soldier in the gendarmerie fired a shot at the roof of the theater, and no one dared to speak, and they all discussed it in private. Boss Rui heard the commotion in the theatre, and muttered: "I said you can't go, you can't go! Something has happened!" He got on stage in a panic, and said to the head of the gendarmerie with a smile on his face: "Boss, Boss, do you have a misunderstanding? Otherwise, why don't you take a break first?" The head of the gendarmerie gave a fierce look and shouted, "Get out of here, go!" Zhao Baocheng stood in the private room on the second floor, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Hu Mengchun, he is an underground party! He conspired to kill government officials, and he is now arrested and awaiting trial! Take him away!" When Boss Rui heard this sentence, his eyeballs almost fell out, and he said to me: "What? An underground party? When did he become an underground party again? What those little apprentices said before is true? What's going on? ?” The gendarmerie held Hu Mengchun's head with a gun. Hu Mengchun wanted to resist, but there were too many people, and the gendarmerie carried bayonets on their guns. In the end, Hu Mengchun had no choice but to follow the gendarmerie.After walking two steps, Hu Mengchun turned around and smiled at Xiyu, saying, "Xiyu, I'm fine. Don't worry." Xiyu couldn't say a word.She is stupid.The gendarmes walked outside with Hu Mengchun on their backs, but Xiyu didn't stop him.According to her personality, it shouldn't be like this.The movie fans in the audience chattered loudly.Zhao Baocheng stood upstairs, watching all this as if watching a play. Xiyu stood on the stage, stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses.She walked to the front of the stage and began to speak to the audience: "Old people, please be quiet, I have something to say here." There was still a commotion in the audience, but as soon as Xiyu spoke, it immediately fell silent. Xiyu went on to say: "You have seen, I can't sing this play today. The overlord is gone, how can there be reason for Concubine Yu to single out the leader? The overlord is gone, can I still sing? I can't sing the opera Yes, but I still want to say a few words. You all know that little Japan has never had a good intention since the day it invaded China! Now this is a blatant aggression, this is aggression! Before the aggression, some people treacherous, some People who died for the country. I went to a new school and knew that I wanted to fight against Japan and save the nation. I just didn’t go to school. I have sung Xiyu for so many years. You are all here, let me tell you," Xiyu said, raised her hand and pointed to Zhao Baocheng who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, and shouted almost in a broken voice: "The scoundrel on the second floor is called Zhao Baocheng, his father is Zhao Zhikang! You all heard clearly, today's incident was all planned by Zhao Baocheng!" Theater fans and fanciers heard this, and immediately there was a commotion in the audience.Zhao Baoyan was stunned all of a sudden, he didn't expect Xiyu to make such a fuss in the theater because of Hu Mengchun.He felt elated because he lost Hu Mengchun, a thorn in his side, but, facing so many resentful eyes, he felt an unprecedented panic.He felt that those crowds were like the tide at high tide, coming fiercely, and they might rush into the private room at any time and swallow Zhao Baoyan in his stomach.Under such panic, Zhao Baoyan couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up from the chair, and shouted at Xiyu: "Rui Xiyu, don't spit blood!" "I spitting blood?" Xiyu smiled contemptuously, "If a father is a thief, a son may not be a thief too. But you are a thief. You helped the Japanese steal Tianjin Port!" Xiyu roared so loudly that all fans in the audience fell silent.Xiyu began to sing at this time, there was no resentment in her voice, only a trembling: "The Han soldiers are already on the ground, and the singing is besieged on all sides. The king is exhausted, and the lowly concubine can't live! Take the sword and the concubine! King, besieged on all sides and sing again Get up. Come on!" At this point, Yu Ji drew out her sword and cut her throat with the sword.She fell down.It was not only Yuji who fell, but also Xiyu.No one applauded Xiyu's singing.People could clearly see that where Xiyu fell, blood splashed all over the ground.They are scrambling and gurgling outward, like a fiery beating heart, like a flame about to rise.
