"I still want to stay. The imperial court didn't ask women to go to the theater to listen to plays in the past. Now my ancestor has not gone to the theater. She built a big theater in the palace and took the lead in listening to it.

How old am I? I can’t sing now, but as long as I don’t give up, how can I know that I won’t be able to sing in the future?”

Liu Xi's small face was full of stubbornness. She didn't look anywhere, but she seemed to have seen her future.

For a moment, Liu Tielan seemed to be moved by her, but he was still conscious after all. He asked a woman to sing in an opera. If some red-eyed monster reported it, she would not be the only one who would be unlucky, and their entire troupe would be finished.

.

If anyone knew about Liu Xi's life experience, it would not only be a matter of disbanding the troupe, but his life would also be at stake.

"It's useless if you don't give up. I won't teach you how to sing."

"It doesn't matter whether you teach me or not, as long as you let me stay in the troupe, I can learn it myself."

Liu Xi said, and threatened him with Liu Tielan's oath: "Besides, you have sworn a poisonous oath. If you have to drive me away, be careful of your throat!"

Seeing that Liu Xi had made up his mind, Liu Tielan had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "If you don't want to stay, just stay. But let's put the ugly words first. I am a poor troupe. I only care about your three meals a day, winter and summer."

With two sets of clothes, you can't sing and you won't get paid."

Liu Xi's father used to do support work in the Navy Yamen, taking care of the accounts. He was a fat man. Therefore, her family's conditions were good, the food and supplies were of high quality, and her daily expenses were quite high.

, there are still people around to take care of her, and they have never made her live a hard life.

Now that all these are gone, she has to find a way to make a living on her own, which she is a little uncomfortable with.

But she also understood her situation very well, and only hesitated a little before firmly agreeing.

Originally, the imperial court said that the Jiang family would be confiscated and executed. Some officials in the town were very happy. After all, if such a wealthy family had their homes confiscated, they could always make some money by doing things.

Now that they were all burned down by the old man of the Jiang family, they were all a little angry, so the bodies found from the remains of the Jiang family were not treated well.

However, both generations of the Jiang family are kind and open-minded people, and they have many friends.

When such a big thing happens to the Jiang family, most people avoid it, but there are always a few loyal people who come out to help.

It is said that an unnamed person paid a large price to rob the only human body of the Jiang family and bury it alive.

The body was easy to identify. It was a woman's skeleton, with a baby tightly protected in her arms. When she was found, her entire back had been burned out, but the baby in her arms was still very much alive. If it hadn't been choked to death by the cigarette,

, maybe you can save a life.

The people in the theater troupe were the most well-informed, so these things naturally reached Liu Xi's ears.

Xi Rongsheng's theater troupe was not popular in Tianjin and could not survive. Liu Tielan planned to take the theater troupe to the capital. Before leaving, he finally agreed to Liu Xi and visit her mother's grave together.

"You have to think clearly. You are considered a fugitive now. If you go and get recognized, you can still get two taels of silver for reporting you."

Liu Xi said casually: "Then why don't you earn these two taels of silver?"

"Ha!" Liu Tielan was very disdainful, "No matter how short of money I am, I will not do such an unconscionable thing! Your father went to fight against the Japanese People's Liberation Army, and he did not do any evil. Now he only has this bit of your blood, so why bother killing him?

Kill them all?

Even if I act, I can only play the role of Bo Yuntian. If I can't combine human and drama, how can I make the audience understand it?"

Liu Xi stopped talking. She knew she was with the right person.

Liu Tielan then gave her an idea, "Why don't you go at night? Pack your gear. After we go there, we will rush to the capital and leave the place of right and wrong as early as possible. I'm just afraid of your taboo and don't dare to go to the grave at night."

Liu Xi raised his chin slightly, with a hint of calmness on his face, and said, "I'm going to see my mother and sister. What's there to be afraid of?"

Liu Xi was not afraid, but Liu Tielan and others in the troupe were afraid. Because Mrs. Jiang and her daughter were relatives of the guilty ministers, they were not qualified to enter the ancestral graves. Although they were not directly thrown into the mass graves, they only repaired the graves and erected monuments.

Those lonely ghosts that no one cares about are a little more dignified.

It was dark at night, with wild dogs barking from nowhere, and will-o'-the-wisps wandering around from time to time. Liu Tielan and the theater troupe did not dare to approach. Only Liu Xi came to the graves of Mrs. Jiang and her daughter and placed sacrifices.

say.

"Mom, my daughter is here to see you." After she said this, she couldn't help crying.

But she thought that she would be alone from now on, and she couldn't cry in front of her mother's grave, which would upset her family. She also had to learn how to sing well, so that she would have the opportunity to sing in front of her ancestors who loved the most opera singers, and talk about her well.

The family's grievances were reported to Yuwen Shike.

"Mom, don't worry, you, your sister, your grandparents, your death will not be in vain!"

After saying this, she kowtowed three times in front of Mrs. Chiang's grave.

When she kowtowed for the third time, she suddenly saw a whitish object emerging from the soil next to her head. She dug it out and took a closer look at it under the candlelight. There was a roar in her head and she couldn't help but stand up.

Come and look around.

But it's so dark now that I can't even see my fingers. How can I see anything?

She had to look at the object again.

It's a pure white jade pendant with a Pisces bead. The key point is that this is an heirloom of their Jiang family, and only her father owns it.

"Dad is not dead, he is back!"

Liu Xi held the jade pendant tightly in her hand, her little head turning rapidly.

"Dad would not throw away such an important jade pendant casually. He must also be holding on to the hope that someone in the family is still alive, so he left this news."

"But where is dad now? How can I let dad know that I am still alive?"

Liu Xi thought about it again and again, then he took the jade pendant away, took off the purse he was carrying, bit his finger and wrote the three words "Xirongsheng" on the yellow paper, put it in the purse, and buried it in the bag just now.

The place where the jade pendant was found.

At this moment, Liu Tielan's trembling voice came from not far away: "Hey girl, you can leave as soon as you see it. Don't wait until dawn and someone comes, or you won't be able to leave."

"Oh, it's coming!"

Liu Xi's men hurriedly patted the soil on their bodies, took one last look at the tomb with the basket in hand, and then left.

She didn't want people to know that Jiang Yifu was still alive for the time being.

Liu Tielan was doing a great job in taking her in, but she couldn't make such an excuse to ask him to help cover up Jiang Yifu's affairs.

But now that she had left her message to Jiang Yifu, maybe it would not be long before the father and daughter could be reunited, and she was still happy in her heart.

It would be great if dad comes back. When dad comes back, the hearts of father and daughter are twisted together. They work together to redress the grievances of the Jiang family and rely on each other for life. It is always good...
