Chapter 158

Nine streets are far away, and ancient willows are shady

Mu Zehao sat at the stone table under the ancient willow, raised his hand and held the handle of the pot, filling a teacup for Qiao Xiaoxiao who came to watch the play seriously.

They also heard from the hostess of the inn last night that a drama team was invited to sing like this today. They heard that it was very good. They didn't come before. Who knows why they came this time.

For opera, two people don't hate or like it. In today's rapidly developing city, it's hard for them to sit down and listen to a play and tell a broken heart.

The two men looked at each other and their ideas coincided. Anyway, it's a pity not to take a look. Besides, they don't have good Kung Fu in rap. They want to broaden their horizons.

The stage is set on the side of the wide street. There is a tall willow not far away. It seems that it has been for decades. It seems that it takes two adult men to hold it. The small river beside the willow is still gurgling, which is incompatible with the excitement here.

Fortunately, mu Zehao asked the hostess of the inn to reserve two positions for them the first night. It's better to buy than stay. Money is good in the world. It doesn't cost money to listen to opera, but the seats are limited. If you want to listen comfortably, you still have to pay attention to it. Moreover, there are not many cool and comfortable good positions.

Mu Zehao picked up the tea on the table with both hands, washed and tasted it. One of the famous Peking Opera songs "Farewell My Concubine" was singing on the stage. He glanced at Qiao Xiaoxiao, looked at her and was fascinated by it. There were tears in the corners of his eyes.

When he looked on the stage, he only heard the overlord singing to Yu Ji: "pulling out the mountain is unparalleled. When things are bad, Zhui will never die. What can be done if Zhui is uncomfortable? What can be done if Yuxi is jumpy."

It turned out that the overlord knew that he was going to die in the battle and would never cross the Wujiang River to survive, but he couldn't let go. He followed his concubine Yu and asked her before the disaster. He was asking his heart again.

The actors on the stage are dressed in clear clothes and have a gentle tone. Their every move shows the final determination and hopelessness of Yu Ji. She will definitely not be a drag on the overlord. Her determination when pulling out her sword to commit suicide makes everyone tearful. It is really a rare silence.

After the song was finished, the crowd burst into thunderous applause. Mu Zehao thought that as expected, the troupe deserved its reputation and attracted so many people to watch.

Mu Zehao gentlemanly handed a piece of paper towel, "here, what a crying ghost."

"Obviously, the people on the stage have good Kung Fu. They really live the play." Qiao Xiaoxiao was turned into a small piece by a paper towel, and then carefully wiped his eyes in order to prevent his makeup from being spent.

"What have you been doing?" Qiao Xiaoxiao felt mu Zehao's hot eyes and asked, "is it my makeup that has been spent crying?"

"No, no, I just think your eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Yu Ji on the stage." Mu Zehao took the music path.

"Don't tell me. I just felt that the man who performed overlord on the stage looked like you? He also looks here from time to time. "

Qiao Xiaoxiao didn't joke. He looked at the stage again. The actor had retreated to the back curtain. Now there are some martial artists dancing knives and guns on the stage, driving the lively atmosphere. The happy rhythm still can't dispel Qiao Xiaoxiao's inner sadness.

"Ha ha, everyone looks like me." Mu Zehao couldn't help touching Qiao Xiaoxiao's head curtain and smiled spoiled.

Qiao Xiaoxiao looked up and drank all the tea in the tea cup in front of him. He cried slightly but also quenched his thirst. In this restless day, his mouth was dry for no reason.

After a few drinks, Qiao Xiaoxiao wanted to go to the bathroom. There was a lot of noise around him. There were clapping voices, singing voices, and the rhythmic sound of musical instruments. Qiao Xiaoxiao got up slightly, pasted it to Mu Zehao's ear and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

Mu Zehao nodded and suddenly quickly turned to look for Qiao Xiaoxiao's figure. He had already been submerged by the crowd. He was a little uneasy. There were too many people. He didn't know if Qiao Xiaoxiao could find his way back. But fortunately, it seems that the play is coming to an end.

Qiao Xiaoxiao pushed around in the crowd, like a loach drilling around in the pond. She took a deep breath and finally came out.

"How hot!" Qiao Xiaoxiao poked his crowded hair with his hand, and a few drops of sweat exuded from the tip of his nose.

She looked around. She didn't know where to go to the bathroom. She felt that she came up to an aunt and asked, "excuse me, do you know where to go to the bathroom?"

"Oh! Just behind the stage, next to the toilet. " The aunt enthusiastically pointed to the general position and continued to take the children to the theatre. It's better to join in the fun than to watch. There are no people on the stage behind here, and I can't hear what's singing.

"Thank you!"

Qiao Xiaoxiao walked along the direction pointed by her aunt. There was a complicated alley next to the stage. There were many intersections in it. She looked left and right in doubt, and went down with her own feeling.

"Ah, girl."

Qiao Xiaoxiao was stopped. As soon as he looked back, he saw a performer standing behind him in costumes with dark makeup on his face. He was a head higher than Qiao Xiaoxiao. It was mu Zehao's height, and his voice sounded very similar. If that face hadn't been covered up by makeup, Qiao Xiaoxiao really thought mu Zehao had followed him.

"Call me?" Qiao Xiaoxiao pointed to himself. There were not many people walking.

"I'm afraid you're going the wrong way." The singer rolled up his broad and heavy sleeves and tied his long costume into his belt“ This would have been a place for us to rest, or the girl would have come to find someone? "

Qiao Xiaoxiao responded that he was going the wrong way. He smiled embarrassed and said, "well, it seems that I was going the wrong way. I just want to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, the terrain of the town is very complex. I'm a road fool again. I'm here walking."

"Ha ha, it seems that I still have fate with the girl. I can see it like this."

This sentence made Qiao Xiaoxiao very embarrassed. Fortunately, mu Zehao wasn't here, otherwise he wouldn't hurt him.

"I know the location of the toilet. Let me take you."

Qiao Xiaoxiao could only accept his directions, obediently followed behind and walked silently.

"How many days has the girl been playing with her husband?" The speaker turned his back to Qiao Xiaoxiao, and no one saw the elusive expression.

Qiao Xiaoxiao's body stiffened and his feet stung, "how do you know?"

"Guess, hehe." The singer turned around and said, "as soon as the girl is so young and beautiful, someone with a heart must have done it early in the morning."

Qiao Xiaoxiao pretended to smile, but she couldn't help but doubt. For the first time, she was so exclusive of a person's first impression.

"Here we are. Just follow this road to the end."

"Thank you."

Qiao Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything more. He walked inside faster. He just wanted to go to the toilet and return to Mu Zehao.

The opera singer looked at Qiao Xiaoxiao's back, smiled and spit out a few words, "we'll meet again soon."

Out of the toilet, Qiao Xiaoxiao went out according to his memory. Fortunately, he didn't go wrong again. Looking at the human wall in front of him, Qiao Xiaoxiao had a headache. Thinking that mu Zehao was still waiting for her inside, he had to rush inside.

Qiao Xiaoxiao gasped and felt that she had been walking for a long time. She still couldn't see to the end. She was not in the mood to listen to the play again. She just wanted to return to Mu Zehao. As soon as she moved her feet, she heard someone on the stage thanking him.

The crowd gathered, and the mighty army began to withdraw. Suddenly, no one maintained discipline. Everyone left like a plate of loose sand. Only Qiao Xiaoxiao went upstream alone.

"Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao! "

Mu Zehao saw a figure rising against the current. Needless to say, it must be Qiao Xiaoxiao. He didn't pay attention to any image. He stood on the chair anxiously and shouted Qiao Xiaoxiao's name. He was worried that if it went on like this, Joe Xiaoxiao might get hurt.

"Qiao Xiaoxiao!"

Qiao Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and saw mu Zehao standing on the chair. His eyes were opposite. Qiao Xiaoxiao suddenly felt safe.

"Go out with me and wait for me outside!"

Mu Zehao screamed, but Qiao Xiaoxiao didn't hear clearly. He pointed to the river under the willow tree. There were few people there, indicating that Qiao Xiaoxiao could wait for him there.

Qiao Xiaoxiao understood what mu Zehao meant. In order to avoid injury, he must want to go out with the crowd and wait for him by the river under the willow.

She compared an OK with her hand and walked out along the crowd.

Under the ancient willow, Qiao Xiaoxiao looked around, trying to find mu Zehao's figure, just like the unspeakable anxiety of waiting for his sweetheart at the private meeting of men and women in ancient times.

Inexplicably, she felt someone behind her. Just when she wanted to turn back, another powerful force came at her. Qiao Xiaoxiao was pushed down the river without any response.

I only heard the people on the bank start to panic and pay attention to their feet. Far away from the river, the kind-hearted people began to cry out for help: "someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water!"

The cool water instantly wet Qiao Xiaoxiao's clothes. She struggled to get up, but the river didn't look deep, but she couldn't touch it at all. She couldn't swim. She immediately choked a few mouthfuls of water. It was really hard to drink.

She patted the river with her hand and was surprised by the spray. She wanted to shout for help. As soon as she opened her mouth, the water poured in directly. She gulped and gulped a few mouthfuls. She felt terrible in her stomach. Once there was no defense, her nose also flooded with water. It was over. Qiao Xiaoxiao thought, I'm afraid it's not far from death.

"Come on, this man can't swim."

Qiao Xiaoxiao's head was buzzing. He thought it would be nice if Mu Zehao came to save himself at this time, but on second thought, mu Zehao can't swim. If he came to save himself, he would be dead.

She kept struggling on the edge of death, her strength slowly lost, her brain began to lack oxygen, and her sight gradually became blurred. She felt her body sinking and sinking

Qiao Xiaoxiao looked at the distance. It seemed that a shadow in costume was running towards her. Her eyelids were so heavy that she tried to open them, but she couldn't open them all the time.

With her eyes closed, she felt the smallness of human beings in front of nature and the fragility of life. She heard the sound of someone diving, and then another sound. The tip of her finger touched a person's skin. She only felt a force pulling her up, and then she lost consciousness.
