Sapphire case

26.

Jiang Cheng pinched his cigarette and licked his lips, but said nothing.

"By the way," Jiang Xu rubbed his temples, and motioned to the door, "You took that little actor with you when you fled? What do you think of him?"

"I want you to take care of it." Jiang Cheng said viciously, "If you take it out enough, my leg will hurt just looking at you."

Jiang Xu nodded, and walked around from the other side: "Sure. Gu Sheng, isn't he? He's famous. I like him very much, and I wrote a new play for him. Tsk, he's a good guy. Such a thing as you is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

"Get out!" Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, "It's the Jiang family's blood that falls on you, get out of here!"

"Immature things," Jiang Xu stood beside the curtain, "Then I went to find Boss Gu. When I came in, I heard him and Xiao Yang talking about writing lyrics. It's just a matter of time to discuss..."

"How dare you!" Jiang Cheng only hated himself for being unable to move, "You fucking trick him..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xu chuckled, lifted the curtain and walked away.

Jiang Xu really did what he said, and several people chatted outside in a heated manner, until Jiang Cheng was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.

At this time, there were four people sitting outside. In addition to Gu Shengjiang, there were two members who were most proficient in literature and art in the club. The male was named Guan Shan, and the female was named Lin Tong.

This Lin Tong was one of the few female students who worried Jiang Cheng the most a few days ago, but he was not bad looking, although he was a little worse than Gu Sheng... Jiang Cheng probably owed a bit of integrity and pertinence to him, But in short, he was very unhappy that these few students were always dangling in front of Gu Sheng. In the past, it was fine if there were too many people, but now there are only four!

Jiang Xu, who was inside, said "I like Gu Sheng very much" without a wink!

If Jiang Cheng could still sit still in the room, it would be a ghost.

Jiang Cheng dragged his lame leg to pull up the chair, squeezed Lin Tong away neatly, and sat down beside Gu Sheng generously, leaning on the back of the chair with Erlang's legs up and scanning the surroundings: "Tsk, I'm listening, Take it easy, don't you mind?"

Gu Sheng didn't want to pay attention to him, and dragged the stool to Jiang Xu's, Jiang Cheng immediately moved the chair, Lin Tong laughed muffled, and said, "Okay, welcome, where did we go just now?" ?..."

The other boy seemed dissatisfied with Jiang Cheng's rudeness, he glanced at him reproachfully, then looked at Lin Tong helplessly, and pulled her to his side.

This evening, Gu Sheng had just returned from the theater troupe and went upstairs with some steamed buns and pickles. As soon as he pushed the door, he was pushed against the door by an external force. An aggressive and possessive aura suddenly overwhelmed him. Gu Sheng never knew that a patient who had been seriously injured and had only rested for less than half a month had such violent explosive power. Half-dragged and half-hugged, she was thrown onto the bed.

The ancient wooden bed squeaked in pain, and managed not to fall down.

The moment Gu Sheng touched the quilt, he wanted to get up quickly. As soon as he propped up his upper body, he was pressed back by his wrist. When the back of his head hit the bedside, he was blocked by his palm, and then he pressed down on the back of his head and kissed him come up.

His kiss was hot and could not be refused, and the dangerous atmosphere enveloped him instantly, Gu Sheng trembled all over, just when Jiang Cheng thought that he was about to give up struggling and let him go to take off his clothes, Gu Sheng slapped his right leg brazenly. pedal!

That hit hit the wound, and the newly healed flesh was torn apart again. Jiang Cheng couldn't dodge in time, so he suffered this blow!

Yang Xian, who was eating downstairs, suddenly heard an earth-shattering "嗤" from upstairs, was stunned for a moment, dropped his job and ran upstairs: "What's going on! What happened! Gu Sheng?"

He ran to the attic, where the door was still closed, and he could faintly hear the crash of tables and chairs being overturned, heavy gasps and panting, before he could push the door, the door opened by itself, Gu Sheng was dressed in a long gown, Standing cleanly behind the door, no signs of injury can be seen, but his face is not very good-looking, as if he is hiding anger rarely.

When he saw Yang Xian, his tone was calm, but with indescribable contempt and disdain, he said: "That idiot bumped his leg against the corner of the table, go and help him look."

"Gu Sheng!—"

Jiang Cheng's injury worsened again, and he dared not speak out about it.

Gu Sheng didn't bother to talk to him even more, even the benefits of half an apple per day were gone. Jiang Cheng was heartbroken, and after being warned by Yang Xian that he was going to amputate if he stayed on the bed restlessly, he could only lie on the bed like a watchdog .

——I have to watch him get mixed up with other men!

It is the so-called self-inflicted evil, Jiang Cheng watched Gu Sheng and his brother go in and out together, talking and laughing happily every day, and the despair in his heart was indescribable.

Gu Sheng made up another stage name to sing an opera here. Most people in Chang County have only heard of the stage name "Yan Xingfang" that has been resounding all over the country, and have never been to the scene, so only occasionally people mentioned that they are similar in figure, appearance and singing voice. .And even so, people gradually came to the water stage for Gu Sheng's play, and gradually expanded from a few to several circles. They listened to it while propping up a boat or sitting on a boat, and spread it by word of mouth. fame.

He added some "improvement dramas" to the traditional drama repertoire, that is, appealing to people to understand the current situation, anti-imperialism, anti-feudalism, and anti-bureaucracy. I have heard of it, there are praises and criticisms for it, and there are many discussions, and the reputation spreads more widely.

Jiang Cheng was not optimistic about their promotion of this kind of new drama that aroused public anger and encouraged people to save the nation. He accused Jiang Xu and others of being nonsense in person. If you don't catch fish, what's the point of meddling with them?Disturb the hearts of the people!

Of course, this was when Gu Sheng was away. He told Jiang Xu in private that his liaison officer in Jiangnan pretended to be a bricklayer and came to him a few days ago. He assigned a task to follow Jiang Xu when he was not around.

Its essence is to follow Gu Sheng, every one of his plays Jiang Cheng has been told by others while lying in the clinic.

Then Jiang Cheng heard even more desperate news. It turned out that Gu Sheng was singing an opera in Changxian County recently. Whenever Jiang Xu was free, he would go there to join in the performance. After the performance in the afternoon or at night, the two even went to the teahouse for a drink. Let's talk about composing music and acting, it is said that the two are very speculative, sometimes generous and sometimes worried and angry, laughing and talking all the time.

Jiang Xu and Gu Sheng have indeed gotten very close in the past few days.

After getting in touch with Gu Sheng in the past few days, he gradually felt in his heart that Jiang Cheng was a little muddled, but he had a very good eye for others.

Gu Sheng looked at the inconspicuous person, and when he really chatted, he was able to pick up all kinds of squabbles, and he didn't look like an actor who came out of the wind and dust. The usual slippery and pretentiousness of Shili Yangchang is so beautiful that it is exactly the same as his own image.They first discussed the metric of that poem, and after only a few words, Jiang Xu felt that this person was by no means ordinary.

And the most popular thing is Gu Sheng's strong ability to accept new things, which surprised Jiang Xu, and turned to this old actor with admiration.

Jiang Xu was born in Jiang's family. Even if he was not very enthusiastic, he would still be tainted by the affairs of Fengyuechang. He used to follow a group of confidantes to go to the theater to listen to the performances. Gu Sheng was not the most famous at that time. Jiang Xu appreciated it. When it comes to admiration, most of them stay on the repertoire of his performances, and the impression of him mostly comes from the reviews of fans around him.

The better ones are "quite humble" and "refreshing and clean", while the worse ones have everything. "Fake lofty" and "not flattering" are probably the ones with the highest attendance rate. Jiang Xu's initial impression of him is just a play. It's really good, good-natured, cold-tempered, and jealous.

I didn't expect that there would be anything unexpected about an opera singer.

For example, most of the famous artists that Jiang Xu had contacted before had a strong resistance to the new drama, and even if they accepted it, they were reluctant for various reasons.Gu Sheng may not have none, but he seriously analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of these two types of dramas for Jiang Xu and his party, and he did not particularly defend Beijing opera.

Another example is from operas and current events. Jiang Xu said that this book he wrote is a work that uses ancient times to satirize the present to try to awaken the people of the time. Gu Sheng affirmed his ideas, but he still responded and questioned some of their one-sided extremes.

It is a kind of reasoning that focuses on the big picture and starts from the small place. It has a vision but does not make people feel that it is out of practicality and becomes general. There must be something worth considering when thinking carefully.The young man speaks eloquently, neither slow nor fast, and never argues inappropriately. When raising an issue, he must first think about it and then discuss and sort it out. He is calm and calm.

He also really likes to listen to Gu Sheng's words. His tone is calm and never fluctuates too much, but there is a convincing force in his stability, so that even if he has experienced many battles, he will inevitably follow his way.

He is calm and objective, focusing on pros and cons without showing affection, his words are like knives cutting through the superficial surface, and point to the end in the depths.

It's just captivating to the extreme.

From Gu Sheng's point of view, it is also rare for him to meet like-minded friends. In the past, it was impossible for anyone in Hongxin Class to talk to him about this. Jiang Cheng grabbed him to vent his lust|desire and violence. Talking about drama, just like what Jiang Cheng asserted when he pressed him where he went, Gu Sheng really has no friends. He has come from the cold and hard first half of his life, and no one has ever understood his choice and respected him. His ideals and wishes, covered in slander and old wounds, are like a sharp knife out of its sheath, and he will never look back in his life.

And that kind of loneliness and sadness found a strong resonance in Jiang Xu, a man who also rebelled against his origin, and was willing to work wholeheartedly for his career and lifelong pursuit.This strong sense of belonging, strong enough to penetrate the heart and soul, and belonging to the same kind quickly shortened the distance between the two of them. Gu Sheng even talked to Jiang Xu a lot about his heartfelt feelings that he would never be able to say.

He really regarded Jiang Xu as a friend, the kind who would die for his confidant.

Jiang Xu also lived up to his goodwill, and wrote the remaining two folds of the "Sapphire Case" in the past few days. The two reached a high degree of consensus on the story and what it tried to convey to the audience. Gu Sheng probably It's been a long, long time since I've been so happy. He even proposed to treat Jiang Xu for a drink after the evening show, and then discuss the specific arrangements.

Jiang Xu was also very proud of that work, so he naturally had no reason to disagree, so he said that he could pick him up after the show and have a cup of tea and chat at a teahouse near the stage.

Jiang Cheng couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, anger and jealousy surged up one after another, laced with deep-rooted jealousy, and finally settled on annoyance and sadness.

Counting back and forth, it has been almost a month since Gu Sheng came to Chang County to take a class.

After 30 days, he went to the theatrical troupe to terminate the contract and get money, but Jiang Cheng wanted to follow him, but Yang Xian pushed him into the simple operating room downstairs: "Come on! What's the matter with you! Give it to me!" Administer anesthesia! Remove the steel plates and leave!"

He didn't count their money for surgery, medical care, accommodation, etc. It was considered as a reward for Gu Sheng's generous donation to their magazine.Jiang Cheng thought about it, so he came and went to get a share of money, just in time for Yang Xian to remove the stitches for him, so he responded and lay down obediently.

Who knew that it took Gu Sheng a long time to go, and there was no news at all.

Jiang Cheng was smoking a cigarette in the room depressed, and his heart was inexplicably up and down, which made him have a bad premonition for no reason.

Another hour passed, and the person he had assigned to follow Gu Sheng hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Cheng pinched his cigarette anxiously, walked four or five times in the lobby, finally couldn't hold back, and stepped to the door in three steps at a time. Just as he was about to push the door, the door was suddenly pulled open forcefully. Stepping in and holding the door, he raised his head and said hurriedly to Jiang Cheng: "Something happened, young master—Gu Sheng was taken away!"

The author has something to say:

I watched Lao She's "Rabbit" last night, alas, I felt very heavy, I stayed up until midnight before falling asleep, alas... In a sense, I can see myself.
