Chapter 27 Butterfly (2)

The third act is "Eighteen Hands-off".Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo left the academy together under the backdrop of a group of girls who played tricks.Talk to each other along the way.Of course Liang Shanbo was not an idiot, he had known about Zhu Yingtai's daughter a long time ago, and he played wittyly.The lines in this scene are the most interesting. Xiaodie memorizes them very well, and she and Zhuang Qiushui's witty words made the audience burst into applause from time to time. The fourth act "The Tower Meeting".Shang Xiaodie has changed back into women's clothes, and she looks like a soft and charming Miss Zhu Yingtai.Standing tall and graceful on the stage, with beautiful eyes on the temples, and lingering around, the audience was amazed!Even the walking posture, the orchid fingers on the hands, and the budding eyes all resemble the ancient beauties in the murals.The lines are also half-literal and half-white, closer to the libretto of Kunqu opera, uttered from Xiaodie's mouth, as if the ancients traveled through time and space, and even the tone of voice has become the flat water rhyme of Tang and Song Dynasties.The old professors in the audience couldn't help but praise.

The fifth act is the more tragic "Marriage Change".Zhu Yingtai is preparing to get married on the left side of the stage, while Liang Shanbo is dying on the right side of the stage. "Ma Wencai" came to Zhu Yingtai's side, only seeing the resentful expression of the newlywed mother.And "Sijiu" served Liang Shanbo sadly, and even the master vomited blood and died. The last scene: "Butterfly".Wearing a phoenix coronet and Xiayi, Zhu Yingtai sat in a big wedding sedan chair and passed a desolate cemetery.Wumei made a simple tomb out of cardboard, and the sedan chair suddenly stopped by the tomb, and the bearer couldn't move no matter how she walked.The bride gets out of the sedan chair and walks slowly towards the lonely tomb."Tomb of Liang Shanbo" is engraved on the screen tablet made of cardboard.She stood in front of the grave stupidly, facing the audience sideways, and read the lines of crying for the grave.

When the sad melody sounded between the stages, Fluttershy felt the lights around her gradually dimming, and the roof of the theater became transparent.She saw the dark sky, the strong wind howled high in the sky, and yellow weeds grew under her feet.Looking back, there is no audience behind, only a lonely grave in the desolate field. The tomb of Liang Shanbo, the tomb of the person she loved deeply, the tomb of her youth and dreams, the tomb of a pair of butterflies... So, her tears, like the last lament, slid down like pearls.These are not only Zhu Yingtai's tears, but also Shang Xiaodie's tears.It is not only Yi Lianna's tears, but also Zhu Die's tears.Both my own tears and my lover's tears.

There was no sound in the huge theater, and all the audience's eyes were fixed on "Zhu Yingtai", wearing red bridal clothes, facing Liang Shanbo's tomb with tears streaming down his face. At this moment, all the lines are superfluous.Sun Zichu in the backstage pressed the sound button, and a song "Without You" by Karen Mok sounded in the theater—— "Hey, I really miss you/Now it's raining again outside the window/My eyes are dry and I want to cry/I don't know where you are now/Hey I really miss you/Too many emotions are inappropriate Facial expression / what I want to say the most / where should I start / do you think of you like me / if there is no you / without the past, I will not be sad / but if there is, I will still love you / if there is no you / where am I What's the pity/Anyway, it's too late/I don't have myself anyway/Hey, I really miss you/I don't know where you are now once and for all...."

The sad and melodious singing, accompanied by the tears of "Zhu Yingtai" on the stage, flooded the entire theater.The hearts of every audience are soaked in tears, and bits and pieces of memories emerge in their minds.The tears of childhood, the first love of a teenager, the lovelorn of a young man, the farewell love of a middle-aged man, the lost love of an old man—the emotions and hearts of thousands of people gather into a huge net. Tonight, Shang Xiaodie conquered everyone. Her tears, her eyes, her sadness also conquered herself.When the singing on the stereo stopped, she couldn't help singing herself - this is the song she heard at the bottom of the "Phantom Creek", the song sung by the beautiful woman on the tombstone of the "Butterfly Cemetery", countless times in The song she visited in her early morning dreams, it was Elena's song.

Sun Zichu turned on the last button in the background, and Liang Shanbo's tomb was split open, and a pair of paper butterflies were about to fly out of it. The moment the tomb was opened, all the audience stared silently at the stage—the butterfly finally appeared, flying out of the tomb like a ghost. However, these two butterflies are not made of paper, but two real living butterflies. The audience in the audience felt very novel, and actually made two real butterflies on the stage, and applauded enthusiastically.The grandson Chu in the background looked dumbfounded. Where did the real butterfly come from?

The person closest to the butterfly is Shang Xiaodie, and they fly around her, as if she is the flower in the valley.The wings of the two butterflies fluttered hugely, and a beautiful woman appeared with a dense skeleton—a ghostly beauty! Even Shang Xiaodie felt unbelievable that this pair of butterflies turned out to be "ghost beauties"!They flew out of Liang Shanbo's tomb and surrounded Zhu Yingtai who was about to jump into the tomb. Regardless of whether there is a legend of Liang Zhu, these two butterflies are real—could they have come from more than 1,500 years ago, from the tombs of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?

Finally, "Ghost Beauty" landed on Shang Xiaodie's cheek. Two huge and colorful butterflies occupy this beautiful face, as if painted with a layer of body paint. The kiss of the butterfly made her dizzy, as if her whole body was light and floating, and she was about to fly into the moon sky and clouds. She looked at all the people in the audience and said—— "Welcome to the Butterfly Cemetery!" Through the microphone hidden in the clothes, this sentence was broadcast throughout the theater, and penetrated into everyone's eardrums and hearts. In an instant, the heartbeats of hundreds of people accelerated at the same time, and the adrenaline was rapidly secreted and released, all because of those four words——

butterfly cemetery The theater fell silent again, only Shang Xiaodie stood alone, accompanied by two "ghost beauties". Sun Zichu in the background was also stunned, as was Zhuang Qiushui.There is no "Butterfly Cemetery" in the line at all, I don't know why Xiaodie suddenly mentioned it.Sun Tzuchu couldn't stop rushing to the side of the stage, and seeing the faces of the leaders below the stage, all of them became gloomy. Now he, the director, will be in trouble.Before Shang Xiaodie came out of the play, she walked to the stage in a daze, with the pair of butterflies still on her face.

Sun Tzuchu rushed up and said, "What's wrong with you? Get that butterfly away!" Suddenly, she tripped over something under her feet, immediately lost her center of gravity, and fell off the platform more than one meter high. Many people screamed, and Zhuang Qiushui also jumped off the stage.Xiaodie's head didn't break, she just curled up on the ground in pain, blood was slowly flowing from her nostrils. Zhuang Qiushui hugged Xiaodie anxiously, and looked back fiercely - Lu Shuangshuang stepped back tremblingly, it turned out that she was the one who tripped Xiaodie!

Shuangshuang didn't know whether she did it on purpose or not, but when Xiaodie walked past her, her feet didn't listen to her anymore, so she secretly stretched out to trip Xiaodie. When she was about to flee backstage, a group of big black cockroaches flew on her face.Shuang Shuang fell to the ground screaming, twisted up and down, and slapped the bug on her face hard.The actors ran away in fright, and swarms of big cockroaches flew across the stage like locusts. The theater was in chaos, many little cockroaches crawled out from under the seats, and the girls screamed in fright.Thousands of flies flew down from the ceiling, covering the entire theater like a dark cloud.All the ants on campus have moved their homes to the theater.The teachers also had difficulty controlling the situation. They took off their clothes and slapped the bugs, but they were moths rushing to the flames in front of a large black area—the moths also came, and they blocked the exits in groups, biting many people go. Zhuang Qiushui always protects Xiaodie. Although there are cockroaches and moths around her, Xiaodie doesn't have any bugs on her body, and the pair of "ghost beauties" don't know where they went.Xiaodie's injury was not serious, but she had some nosebleeds, which stopped quickly. She lay in Zhuang Qiushui's arms and opened her eyes. Seeing the commotion in the theater, she said with difficulty: "No, how could this happen? ?” Zhuang Qiushui didn't answer either, just hugged Xiaodie and bowed his head in silence, protecting her among the crowd running around. Suddenly, all the lights in the theater went out, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.More people screamed, as if coming to the end of the world ahead of time.Some people hid in the dark and called their mobile phones for help, and some even got under their seats, as if the roof was about to collapse. The rescuers finally arrived, they opened the theater door, and the electrician quickly activated the backup circuit to brighten the theater again.After a few minutes, most people fled the theater. Sun Tzuchu got up from the backstage in shock, and the cockroaches, moths, and bedbugs were all gone.He staggered on the stage, looking at the messy theater, his heart was pierced.The performance was almost a perfect success, but he didn't want to have an accident in the end and make such a big mess - now he is going to be finished! By the way, where did Shang Xiaodie go?Did she get hurt?He looked for Xiaodie back and forth, until he was the only one left in the whole theater, like an empty tomb, the owner had already turned into a butterfly and wandered away... June 19 at 21:50 p.m. Shang Xiaodie has returned to the bedroom. Ten minutes ago, Zhuang Qiushui protected her from the stage, turned to an empty corner of the backstage, and quietly opened the back door of the theater—no one thought of this back door in the panic. He helped Xiaodie rush out of the theater and escape from Abi Hell. He didn't dare to speak along the way, even though he had countless questions in his mind - how did those two "ghost beauties" appear?Why did Xiaodie finally say "Butterfly's official screen"?Where did so many insects come from?This beautiful ancient red wedding dress is particularly eye-catching in the dark. She shook her head and said, "I want to be alone for a while." "No, I'm worried about the way you look." "I know, I saw everything that happened just now." Xiaodie, who was wearing a bride's clothes, raised her head as if facing her groom, "Now, please leave me for a while—you will be in danger by my side, because you Also been to the Butterfly Cemetery.” Although his heart was filled with fear, he still asked frankly, "Will I die soon?" Xiaodie didn't answer, just lowered her head and remained silent, there was no need to deceive herself anymore. Zhuang Qiushui let go of her shoulders and stepped back slowly, his face became more and more blurred under the moonlight. "Take care of yourself!" Xiaodie nodded with trembling lips until his figure was completely submerged in the darkness. Back in the dormitory, the three roommates hadn't come back yet.She took off her beautiful red wedding dress and lay alone on the upper bunk, staring at the empty ceiling.What happened in the theater just now seems to have been projected to the top of the head, like a movie curtain wall playing again... Is this a horror movie or a disaster movie? So many people have been frightened. They are all innocent students and teachers. They have nothing to do with Shang Xiaodie or the "Butterfly Cemetery". Why should they bear it?How did the whole thing get to this point?God, what did I do? Yes, her wish has come true, the wish stuffed in the crack of the "Butterfly Cemetery" - the ugly duckling turns into a white swan. However, she also lost a lot. She lost her best friend and lost the trust of her roommates.And most importantly, Zhuang Qiushui, the person she deeply loved, may die because of her at any time. All wishes to be fulfilled in the "Butterfly Cemetery" must be repaid at the cost of life? Beauty is like a double-edged curse. Just like what happened in the theater just now, everyone around her suffered misfortune. No, this is not what she wanted. Xiaodie turned on her laptop again and logged in to the "Butterfly Cemetery" website——entering this mysterious area for the sixth time.
