Nightmare Apostle

"Old sir, before and after the Bai Family Troupe sank, did anything happen to other troupes in this town? For example, which famous female actor suddenly disappeared?" Yang Xiao still didn't give up.

The old accountant stroked his goatee, pondered for a while and then shook his head, "I've never heard of it. The famous and famous ones are the golden bumps of each team. How can something happen so easily?"

As soon as the old accountant finished speaking, a discordant voice rang out, "That's not true. It's hard to guard against a thief even if you have everything to guard against. Hey, love is hard to overcome, and even a pretty boy is hard to guard against, hahaha!"

A drunken man swayed over from another table, his face flushed and smelling of alcohol.

Seeing this person, the old accountant's expression suddenly turned ugly, but to save face, he still got up and smiled, "Hey, Fourth Master Diao, why am I not looking at you when you look at me like this?"

"Hey, those despicable people at the gate of the Bai family deserve to die. That Xi Mo is nothing. If I want her to accompany me for a drink, it's just to show their face, and it's on the line. Bah!"

"A bunch of low-life people really think of themselves as human beings! If Sister Chun hadn't run away with someone, and... it would still be Xi's turn to take the lead. Die, die well!"

Seeing that the man was scolding him more and more harshly, his friends at the same table hurriedly came over and pulled the man away. One of them, a sensible person, kept apologizing to Yang Xiao and the other two, "Boy, I'm sorry, sorry, he drank too much and talked nonsense. Don't disturb your interest."

After the man was taken away, the old accountant sat down with a displeased look on his face. Judging from the situation, this kind of thing had happened before.

"Who is Sister Chun he is talking about?" Yang Xiao keenly captured the name from the man's words.

The old accountant sighed, "That was a long time ago. The Bai family gatehouse is the name of the people. Their brand name in the industry is Chunxi Ban, one spring and one happy, this spring is Sister Chun, and happiness is happiness, right? A long time ago, the two of them were the pillars of Chunxi Class, but...but then..."

Yang Xiao also heard the name Chunxi Class mentioned by Mr. Feng, but he didn't think much about it at that time. Now it seems that there is a big problem. "What happened next?" Yang Xiao took out another piece of broken silver and pushed it to the old accounting room.

Unexpectedly, the old accountant gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and pushed the money back intact, "That's not what I meant, it's just that it's not easy to say. This Sister Chun... This Sister Chun listened in private with a Chang Lai The pretty girl in the show is getting better. As you know, this industry is most taboo about such messy things. Team leader Bai kicked Sister Chun out in anger. Later, I heard that the pretty girl was not an economical person either. She was not evil in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. If you don’t stick to it, Sister Chun will die within a few years of rest.”

"There is another Sister Chun in the Bai family class, so why didn't you tell her just now?" Su Tingting stared at the old accountant, almost missing something important.

The old accountant smiled bitterly, "This happened many years ago. It has been 4 or 5 years since the Bai family was separated. After Sister Chun was kicked out, she never appeared in the town or sang again. , think about it, it will be at least 15 or 16 years.”

Yang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it must be her. There was about 5 or 6 years between the time Sister Chun was kicked out of the Bai family class and the time when the Bai family class capsized and died in the river, which matched the age of the child. superior.

And since they are all trained by the Bai family, and are the same pillars as Xi Mo, and her singing skills are not inferior to the latter's, using her to pretend to be Xi Mo was a good plan by class leader Bai.

But now he still needs to determine how exactly this Sister Chun died.

"Old sir, how did Sister Chun die?" Yang Xiao pretended to be curious and asked, "Do you know the specific time?"

"This..." The old accountant thought for a moment, shook his head in embarrassment, glanced at the table next door, and then lowered his voice, "You two gentlemen, I am not familiar with this Sister Chun, but I know her. I live in Crouching Tiger Village with that pretty boy, which is about ten miles away from us. Also, Mr. Zhou who is wearing blue silk clothes on the table lives in Crouching Tiger Village. He comes to our town every few days. Shang Yun sells mountain goods, he is a sensible and generous person, with your ability, it is not difficult to trick him. "

After saying that, the old accountant stood up, bowed his hands to Yang Xiao and Su Tingting, and said politely with a smile: "Two gentlemen, you eat and drink well, I'll go back and get busy."

Su Tingting was anxious and wanted to stop the old accountant to ask a few more questions, but was stopped by Yang Xiao, "Don't bother, this man is very smart. Seeing that we asked too many questions, he knew we were not here to watch a show. We were worried about getting into trouble. Just slip away and go to the old world."

After the waiter brought the dishes, Yang Xiao left a plate for Su Tingting, told her to fill her stomach quickly, and then he went to another table with a plate of vinegar fish.

Putting the vinegar fish on the table, the waiter followed Yang Xiao's instructions and brought a bottle of good wine. Yang Xiao looked at the few people and smiled and said: "It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Do you mind if I join in the fun?"

There were originally four people at this table. Almost all the food they ate was vegetarian, and the wine was not good. As soon as Yang Xiao came, his quality immediately improved. The man in blue silk clothes stood up and clasped his fists, "Brother, my brother was drunk and said something wrong just now." If I don’t, how can I bother you to spend money?”

Yang Xiao laughed and played the role of a rich kid who just came out of the world. "It doesn't matter, it's fate to meet each other. My father said that we are all brothers in the world. You are welcome. Let's chat while eating."

After a few sips of wine, the people present stopped talking. It was also from Mr. Zhou that Yang Xiao got the news about Sister Chun.

According to him, Chun Jie's life was OK after she got married. After all, Chun Jie had been singing opera for so many years and had some savings. But later, it was not so good. His husband was a gambler. It didn't take long for Chun Jie to lose all her savings. If Chun Jie didn't give him money, he would beat her or scold her. The worst thing was that he threatened her with the child.

"Do they have a child?" Yang Xiao filled Zhou Ye's glass, "Keep going, don't stop!"

"Okay, okay, enough, enough." Zhou Ye drank a thousand cups of wine with a bosom friend, and he drank another gulp. "Where were you talking just now? Oh, yes, they have a child, it's... a girl, very cute. Every time they see me passing by with a big cart to escort goods, they will run over and call me Uncle Zhou. Oh, what a pity..."

"What happened?"

"She and her poor mother got a serious illness and died." Zhou Ye exhaled a breath of wine and shook his head with regret.

"When did it happen?" Yang Xiao stopped pouring wine and changed to water. Anyway, water was almost enough for wine at this time.

Grandpa Zhou drank the water in a daze, smacking his lips as he recalled, "About...about 10 years ago. It was quite surprising when I heard the news. After all, I passed by his yard a few days ago and saw the child helping her mother to light the fire and cook. How could two...two good people suddenly disappear after just a few days of not seeing each other?"
