The bright moon reflects Lanshan again

Chapter 3

When he talked, complaining that he was bored, Ji Mingxuan stammered and said "I miss you very much."

Cheng Lansheng covered his mouth and giggled, and asked him, what were you looking at just now?

Ji Mingxuan pointed to the top of his head and said, Lan Sheng, look, the moon is so round today.

Cheng Lansheng looked along where his finger was pointing, and saw a small hole in the top of the simple shed. Through this hole, one could just see the bright moon hanging above his head.

It's really round, big and round, bright yellow, surrounded by a hazy layer of smoke-like mist, beautiful and illusory.

However, Ji Mingxuan felt that Lan Sheng next to him was both beautiful and illusory. He stopped looking at the moon and turned his head to look at Cheng Lansheng. After looking at Cheng Lansheng for a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "Lansheng, if you can come and accompany me, I really appreciate it." Happy."

After Cheng Lansheng thought about it, he came back to his senses, the bird on the osmanthus branch had already fluttered its wings and flew away. There was an inexplicable bitterness in his heart, and tears fell from his eyes.

Ji Mingxuan, I'm so happy that you can come and listen to me sing.

six,

Early in the morning of Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Lansheng took the meat pies that had been made in advance and rushed to the alley where Ji Mingxuan lived.

Along the way, he thought, it's time to apologize to Mingxuan, he said such hurtful things even though he was obviously reluctant to leave, so why not explain why?Why do you say things that hurt others?

Cheng Lansheng thought about it well, if he really couldn't leave Mingyue Tower, he wouldn't think about it anymore, at most he would suffer a few more beatings and scolding, as long as he was doing well and Mingxuan was doing well, they could sneak up on Chen Cang secretly.

Cheng Lansheng felt that he had used the word "darkness in the dark" really well, his eyes that hadn't smiled for a few days, now were shining brightly, revealing a rare mischievous smile.

He walked into the alley, and the dilapidated shed was still there.

Cheng Lan gave Panasonic a heart, and called out while walking: "Mingxuan, I brought you meatloaf, don't be angry with me."

After calling several times in a row, but no one answered him, Cheng Lansheng panicked and called Mingxuan at the top of his voice, finally there was movement in the shed, but it was the old smoker with a rough and ugly voice.

"Shout! What are you shouting for! You screamed in the early morning! Calling your soul!"

Cheng Lan was stunned, and then walked quickly to take a look. The people under the shed had wrinkled faces, unshaven beards, and cloudy eyes. Where is Ji Mingxuan?

The scruffy old beggar looked impatient, turned his back to Cheng Lansheng, and shouted in a rough voice: "Get out, get out, there is no Laoshizi Mingxuan you were looking for, the beggar who lived here has long been expelled!" People were dragged away and beaten to death! Now this is Lao Tzu's territory!"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Cheng Lansheng stood on the spot with his eyes wide open, his body trembling violently, and then, without knowing where the strength came from, he rushed in and pulled the old beggar out like crazy, lifted the tattered quilt, and lifted the old beggar again. Looking at the bed board, Cheng Lansheng turned the small dilapidated shed upside down, but there was still no sign of Ji Mingxuan.

He really seemed to be crazy, his eyes were so red, and he had no expression on his face. He startled the vicious beggar and shouted bravely: "I didn't lie to you, that little beggar was really dragged away!" Oh, the rogues of the West Street, with knives and sticks, good guy! I was terribly scared, but your Mingxuan was not afraid at all, fierce! But it was useless, there were too many of them, and the little beggar was beaten half to death , when he was dragged away, he was still yelling 'Lan Sheng Lan Sheng', you didn't see, there was a big gash on his forehead! The blood dripping down covered his face, I was shocked!"

The snow-white pancakes rolled all over the ground, stained with dirty mud, and were no longer white, lying on the ground in a dingy state.

Cheng Lansheng staggered back a few steps, stepped on the pancake, his whole body seemed to have been cramped, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, his eyes were hollow, and he didn't know where he was looking.

He opened his mouth to the old beggar, wanting to ask something, but found that he couldn't make a sound, as if he was dumb.

His mind was in a mess, and he was also on fire. He thought a lot. For example, Ji Mingxuan secretly taught a lot of hooligans and theater guests who tried to mess with him. He usually kept silent and beat them up. It was really fierce, full of anger, and hit those people with fists one after another.

After beating someone, he was considered clever, and ran away in a hurry, but he was still angry and his face was not good-looking.

He said Lan Sheng, I don't like those people touching you.

Cheng Lansheng just laughed, I don't like it either, but what kind of superior person do you think I am?I am an opera singer, no matter how famous I am, I am still an opera singer. You should know that opera singers are always inferior.

He also thought that the hooligans on West Street are the most vengeful. He also heard that a little old shoe seller who offended them was hanged to death on the beam of the little old man's shop by these hooligans. Unfortunately, his eyes were wide open, and a pair of cloth shoes was forced into his mouth.

He thought so much, but at the end, Ji Mingxuan's face covered in blood appeared in his mind.

He was half dead, with only one breath left, but he still called Lan Sheng.

Lan Sheng, you and I will be good, I will treat you well.

Lansheng, I'm so happy that you can come to accompany me.

Lan Sheng, why don't you want to be nice to me?

What he said and what he thought was Cheng Lansheng.

Cheng Lansheng closed his eyes, and punched the ground with one fist after another, his flesh was bloody, and the bright red blood mixed with the falling tears flowed into the muddy ground.

Ji Mingxuan is dead.

His Ming Xuan was beaten to death just like that.

Seven,

It's not that he hasn't searched for Ji Mingxuan's body, he also went to those local ruffians and begged them to take him to find it, but they laughed out loud and said, go and find it, it's on Sifang Mountain at the west end.

Ji Mingxuan looked at these hooligans who were laughing, and felt that his body and mind were covered with thick frost, shivering with cold.

On Sifang Mountain in the west, wolves are the most numerous.

That kind of wolf is ferocious by nature, with sharp teeth and sharp claws, it can disembowel the strongest man.

But Cheng Lansheng still went to look for it. When he was free during the day, he climbed up the mountain and searched inch by inch. His feet were covered with blisters and a few pairs of shoes were broken. I didn't find a single corner of my clothes.

He couldn't imagine that Ji Mingxuan was eaten by evil wolves, and his bones were not preserved.Reassuring myself all day, maybe I survived?Maybe he struggled and survived, went down the mountain, hid somewhere to recuperate, and when he recuperated, his Mingxuan would come to look for him again and stand outside Mingyue Tower to watch him sing.

He waited all day long, even absent-minded about singing, he often flicked his sleeves and forgot to take them back, letting them drag on the stage, staring at the opposite corner of the stage with his eyes blankly, without the slightest expression.

Naturally, he will be beaten and scolded by the class leader. He can't sing well. The old guests recruited by Cheng Lansheng in the past don't want to come to Mingyue Tower again. Survival in this world is not easy. These days, even the most peaceful Dongcheng County Some are not peaceful, making people panic, and some wealthy people are reluctant to go out to listen to the opera.

Coupled with the fact that the fixed "money trees" who loved to watch Cheng Lansheng's operas did not want to come again, the income of Mingyue Building became less and less. They didn't take away their size.

For the rest of the roles, the class leader asked them to sing every day, and they looked for venues everywhere without contacts. It rained a few times, and the shed hadn't been set up yet. Halfway through the singing, cold rain fell, watering Cheng Lansheng's life. Get soaked all over.

He was already in a trance all day long because of Ji Mingxuan's affairs, and his heart was full of depression. In addition, in the past few days, the class leader beat and scolded him, and Cheng Lansheng felt uncomfortable in his heart and body. At the last straw, his body collapsed, and his soul flew to nowhere, his face was as white as paper, and he wobbled even when he walked two steps. When he looked at him suddenly, he looked like a light and lonely soul left in the world.

The leader finally didn't dare to kill anyone, told him to rest well, and then continued to squeeze the other corners.

Three years passed like this.

For three years, the swallows under the eaves of the Mingyue Tower held mud in spring and returned in autumn. They flew back and forth for three rounds.The people who used to live in Dongcheng County have also moved out of several households, and now the Zhulian on the door is dilapidated and incomplete, as if they have never lived there, and have never had anyone.

Even the vicious class leader seemed to have finally received his retribution, and left suddenly one night.

No one knew how he died, everyone was just in a trance, and after the trance, there were mixed joys and sorrows, and they didn't know what to do.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, and the class leader has no family, wife and children. Now that he is dead, they will return to freedom. Where they go and what they do now, no one will control them, and no one will beat and scold them if they don't like it. .

The worry is, they are all just actors, they can only sing, how can they do other things?

After a lot of distress, some people couldn't wait, they found out the money hidden by the class leader and left Mingyue Tower, while others saw the jealousy, so they also hurriedly grabbed the money and ran away.

Cheng Lansheng, who most wanted to leave Mingyue Tower, was reluctant to leave now, and he didn't know what he was looking forward to.

So there was only one Cheng Lansheng left in Mingyue Tower and a few helpless little corner children aged eleven, two or three.

They looked at Cheng Lansheng helplessly, grabbed the corner of his clothes, opened their mouths and called Lansheng 'brother', trying their best to please him, for fear that he would leave too.

Cheng Lansheng didn't know what to do, so he just lived day by day, thinking about when someone would come to chase them away.

As a result, no one set foot in the Mingyue Building for several months.

Cheng Lan was depressed all day long, doing nothing, wearing Ji Mingxuan's favorite red costume, standing on the stage, facing the corner where Ji Mingxuan often stood, calling Mingxuan over and over again.

Sometimes with a smile, the corners of the eyes raised,
