I am very poor

The soft grass is still covered with fresh dew, and the beautiful pointed houses in the distance have been completely redecorated, and fluffy warm light shines through the square or round window holes, like big mischievous eyes.

However, the venue for this event was not indoors.

And outside.

In the center of the well-groomed grass, a huge "umbrella" was erected. The "umbrella handle" is a log with a diameter of [-] centimeters and still retains the bark. It stretches straight into the sky and is about five or six meters high. The "umbrella bone" is a string of naturally curved and drooping colored light hoses, which light up in red, orange, blue, and purple colored lights, and are wrapped with various shiny small decorations. The log in the center Slowly rotating, and as it rotated faster and faster, those colored lights formed a continuous piece.The thin layer of transparent white gauze covering the umbrella surface was also blown up by the wind, entangled and untied with the flying bright decorations.

Under the umbrella is a pony, a calf, a fawn, and a unicorn all made of rough wood.Gorgeous and exquisitely embroidered cushions are laid on the straddle position.The joints of these small animals are all movable. After you sit on them, you can really ride them and walk slowly in the yard.In addition to these wooden dolls, there are many real small animals, such as ponies, deer, rabbits, and hedgehogs, walking around on the grass, jumping, and eating the fruits and food in the buffet plate at will .A glistening silver stream divides the entire meadow into two parts like luminous silk. The side near the building is brightly lit, while the side far away from the building is dimly lit, as if there are some faint shadows wandering back and forth.

There is no one here.

It's quiet here.

Gu Cheng looked like an adult who accidentally broke into a fairy tale world, looked around, and stood still, not daring to act rashly.

But just like that, he was still fingered by a strong and handsome deer, Hululu.

The party hasn't started yet, so he's a little early.

But... wait, it should be the right time, right?

Didn't Huo Yufei arrange for the driver to pick him up?

Gu Cheng quietly dodged back, and the little deer came up to him, licking from his fingers to his palm, as if he had eaten delicious candy, and he was reluctant to move his mouth away.

Gu Cheng quickly took a few steps back, almost running away.

At this moment, countless white and black people wearing gorgeous gowns made of gold thread and silk, short pleated skirts, and silver metal boots walked out of the building talking and laughing.They were a little surprised when they saw him, but soon, these white and black people dressed like Egyptian nobles were divided into two, and an Asian knight wearing black gold armor came out.

It seems to be Chinese?

Li Ze walked towards Gu Cheng from the separated crowd, and reached out to touch the head of the little deer who had been following Gu Cheng, but was very disgusted to avoid it, and turned around to draw a vigorous shadow, stepped on The stream, disappearing into the shadows on the other side of the river.

Gu Cheng could clearly see that the outstretched hand of the Asian knight stayed in the air for a few seconds awkwardly before withdrawing it as if nothing had happened.

She gave him a polite and friendly smile, and suggested softly, "Sit with us? My name is Li Ze, Huo Yufei's friend."

Gu Cheng thought it was a bit amusing, so he stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "My name is Gu Cheng, and I'm also Yufei's...good friend."

Yufei?good friend?

Li Ze immediately reached out and shook his hand, keenly noticing these two small details.Silently thinking about the other party's origin in his heart.

So Gu Cheng was brought among a group of foreigners, and sat in the center of a chair made of tree stumps by the river.

The moon was hidden, and before them was the dark water.

Under the night wind, there were slight waves.

These foreigners seemed to be very excited, talking loudly in various languages, and even spoke English so urgently and quickly that Gu Cheng couldn't understand a word.A few minutes later, two dots of light suddenly appeared on the dark river surface. When those light dots drifted closer, they realized that they were small trembling and almost transparent flowers, with glowing beads shining in the center of the flower, covering the transparent petals. All the fibers and veins in it were revealed.With the current of water and the night wind, they drift leisurely, sometimes they get together, and sometimes they are blown away.

When all those spots of light floated in front of them, Li Ze suddenly stood up and asked everyone to be quiet.

For a time, there was only the quiet moonlight in the sky and the earth.

The moon is out again.

Then there is a high-pitched and gorgeous tenor voice.

Then the lights on the other side of the river suddenly turned on with a bang, and it was a circular stage.The dancing girl in the golden floor-length skirt was originally fixed in place like a sculpture, but at this moment she suddenly started to move. The tube top made of two golden shells can only cover the most critical position, while the long skirt below the waist is tightly Strictly, only revealing the white and slender legs when the movements are the most violent.Their eyes are big and deep, and they are painted with gorgeous makeup. They seem to be the lovers of the pharaoh thousands of years ago, or they seem to be banshees in the forest.

No one spoke, everyone was quiet.

Gu Cheng watched their passionate dance curiously.

Immediately, I was attracted by the gorgeous male voice.

The voice seemed to be singing, and it seemed to be chant.It is a kind of English full of coloratura.

Then, a light fell from the sky, and the "high priest" wearing an olive branch on his head, holding a scepter, and a mask made of feathers and gemstones appeared from the deepest part of the darkness.

He waved his scepter and sang with all his might.

There seemed to be a power to attack the heart in that voice. After a few short sentences, many people present suddenly stood up, expressing their solemnity and respect for art.

Gu Cheng also thought it sounded good, but he couldn't understand it, so he didn't have any special reaction.

And he felt that this voice was a little familiar... he was trying to remember where it was familiar.

Li Ze suddenly moved closer to him, and translated in a low voice: "He talked about death and rebirth, to the effect that a young orphan fell into poverty and disease, and was finally killed by a black crow. When he woke up , and found himself lying in a splendid palace, transformed into the prince of a great kingdom in the valley of the Nile, whose name has not been left in history."

Gu Cheng moved closer with interest.

Because the music is so gorgeous, their voices can easily be drowned out.

Li Ze turned sideways and told Gu Cheng a story almost in Gu Cheng's ear: "He has dreamed countless nights, and the god of death said to him, you are the one I care for, and you are destined to bear extraordinary burdens. Therefore, he made up his mind to let go of his status as a prince and become a priest to communicate with the gods, so that the name of this kingdom will be recorded in the annals of history. And in a grand sacrificial activity, his previous self was sent as a sacrifice On the altar, as a priest, he had to make a choice. Even if he was a priest, he did not have the right to change the sacrifice. So he threw down the scepter, put on the crown again, and as the heir of this country, crushed The theocracy that I once personally supported..."

Just when he said this, the priest on the stage raised the magnificent scepter in his hand high above his head, suddenly read a syllable aloud, then broke it with force, threw it into the distance, turned around and hurried up to the ground from the ground. The throne was raised, and the maids on both sides of the throne put the crown on his head with both hands.

Then the former priest who turned into a prince spoke again.

"Fate, half of you is a coincidence, and half of you is ulterior motives. You dismissed me when I begged you, but now I am high above you, and your cunning fingers will no longer be able to play with me..."

This time it was directly changed to Chinese.

Li Ze stumbled for a second.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gu Cheng who was sitting upright, finally able to understand what he was saying, and was seriously engaged in it. Fuzhi moved to one side, and then moved again, until he returned to the normal distance.

The gorgeous male voice continued to sing, and after switching back to Chinese, it made Gu Cheng feel more familiar.

"I asked my parents, brothers, and friends, and there was no answer. I asked the sky, this land, this river, this mountain, and they answered me with silence. I opened my arms to the gods, and the answer was disdain. And in this world , the black water filled the surface, and the people fed the poison by the spoonful."

Those blacks and whites could no longer understand what was being said on the stage, and whispered in confusion.

Li Ze explained to the foreign guests without changing his face that this language has more artistic tension and can better express the soul of art.However, in order to allow everyone to better appreciate the art, he also hired a special translator.

With translation, everyone can continue to appreciate art peacefully.

The performance gradually reached its climax. The prince rescued his former self and offered him money, power, and beautiful women, but all of them were rejected.The sacrifice knelt before the prince and swore all his allegiance to him.

In the ensuing battle, the prince, as the leader of the kingdom, became the primary target of the enemy. He escaped death and was rescued by the sacrifice at the most dangerous time.

The former self, whose entire chest was soaked in red blood, struggled to reach out to the prince.

The prince took his hand and ordered: "You must live. I will repay you with the best things in the world."

The blond-haired performer struggled to sing his lines in English: "I don't want anything in return from you, you are the water of my life, the light of the night, you are all my wealth, you are the treasure of the world. You offer my loyalty, my persistence, my life, and all my emotions."

The prince ordered again: "You must live."

However, the voice of the sacrifice became weaker and weaker, repeating over and over again: "I give you all my feelings, all my feelings, all, including my love."

There was a slightly surprised sound from the audience.

Gu Cheng was also very, very surprised.

Because when the prince changed the chant into a correct voice, he immediately identified who the voice belonged to.

Gu Cheng looked at the golden shadow on the stage in disbelief, it's hard to imagine that he didn't realize it until now!

On the stage, the prince who listened to the sacrifice with a blank face suddenly knelt down on one knee and leaned slightly, as if he was about to kiss him.

Gu Cheng's long, sharp eyebrows could not help but frown coldly.

The prince, who was constantly leaning over, suddenly paused, turned his head and glanced at this side, put aside the sacrifice who didn't know whether to continue the performance, and walked quickly towards the audience.

And there is a river between them.

So the golden robe slowly spread out on the surface of the water that was shining again under the moonlight. The dots of light on the water surface gathered and dispersed with his movements, drifting on the water waves and gradually drifting away.

The gorgeous singing coming from wading is getting closer and closer.

He stepped on the soft lawn and walked directly and frankly to the center of the auditorium.In some slightly exclamated voices, he stretched out his gold dusted fingers towards the owner here.

Li Ze shrugged helplessly.

Gu Cheng held it without hesitation.

The moment I held it, the last bit of uncertainty in my heart disappeared.

Then he was pulled up vigorously, the mysterious singer kissed him lightly on the back of his hand, suddenly changed another language, and pulled him across the river bank of the lawn, stepped into the cold stream, and stepped onto the stage again.

Sing and dance around him.

Suddenly she knelt down on one knee and reached out to him.

Gu Cheng caught it subconsciously and pulled it up forcefully.

The other party seemed a little helpless, turned around him and knelt down again.

Gu Cheng was in a daze, and finally couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Then he seemed to be glared at by the prince.

The prince held his hand tightly, put it on his chest, and sang again in Chinese: "My false past, my real present, the fire of my future, the light of my life. I beg you, let me ignite you, Let me light you up, let me keep you deep in my soul. I beg you never to leave."

For a moment, all music fell silent.

Gu Cheng suddenly realized that these were not lines and performances, but real words spoken to him.

This made his heart beat nervously and violently.

When Huo Yufei was going to repeat it again, he nodded calmly: "Okay."

Huo Yufei waited for a few more seconds, and regrettably found that there was really nothing to say except a "good".

The prince, who had carefully prepared the gift, was a little disappointed and returned to the gorgeous English. He uttered the last few syllables, and was immediately surrounded and overwhelmed by the flirtatious dancers.

Then all the lights on the stage went out.

In the darkness, the prince took off his mask covered with feathers and jewels, bowed his head and kissed.

He looked at each other with bright eyes, as if showing off and confirming: "Do you like it?"

Ten minutes later, they changed back into their normal clothes and reappeared on the lawn where there were a lot of wine.

Li Ze was discussing the performance just now with his guests.

"Li Ze has just returned from his inspection tour in Africa and intends to do a basic aid construction project. These Africans are his partners and local politicians. Of course, investors from Europe should not be neglected easily. Li Ze looks forward to their cooperation. He invested heavily. So he hopes to resonate with both sides culturally. After we discussed it, we decided on the theme of 'Egyptian Civilization' and this primitive and wild layout." In fact, a lot of complicated content has been omitted, but Gu Cheng feels that Huo Yufei didn't quite understand, and continued to explain, "Africa is the birthplace of human species, and the Mesopotamia is the origin of civilization in the Western world. We pay equal respect to these two 'beginnings', which is also to show Sincerity and fairness in cooperation."

Gu Cheng almost understood.

But in Huo Yufei's eyes, he still looked a little confused, so he smiled, took him to the huge colorful umbrella, and sat on a small wooden horse.

"Let's sit here for a while."

Gu Cheng still stood and confirmed to him: "Is it okay if you don't go?"

"Of course," Huo Yufei said, "Today is Li Ze's home game, so I can introduce you to him after a while."

"Aren't you in a cooperative relationship with him?"

This question is on the point, Huo Yufei smiled slightly: "Not yet."

"But it will be soon."

Huo Yufei stood up and turned his head, and saw Li Ze standing behind him, holding a wine glass in his hand, and a waiter following him, holding a tray in his hand.

Li Ze raised his glass to him: "Have a drink?"

The corner of Huo Yufei's mouth twitched, he took a glass for himself, handed it to Gu Cheng, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Because I don't feel the meaning of staying there, there are too many topics between them."

Huo Yufei took a long look at the white and black people who were sitting together and talking enthusiastically, and immediately understood what Li Ze meant.

Made a joke: "Isn't it easy for you? Just cast the net and there will be fish."

He was alluding to Li Ze's success.

Li Ze also smiled, and deliberately said: "It doesn't matter whether it's easy or not, what matters is who is more important to me."

He raised his cup, looked at the colorful sky through the cup, and made an affectionate look: "Of course it's you, Mr. Huo."

The corners of Huo Yufei's mouth curled up: "Mr. Li is too good at talking. It seems that I must find you to cooperate. As long as I have Mr. Li's eloquence, I don't believe there will be no good projects."

He raised his wine glass, approached and touched him lightly.

The curved glass collided with a slight "ding" sound.

The silver moonlight made the gold powder behind his ears shine with a different kind of luster, and the suit that was obviously expensive, the simple and plain watch, and the countless casual but just right little things on his body. The details are matched together to give him a different kind of charm.

The charm that can only be carved out by wealth and status, and this charm also exists in Li Ze.

So when the two of them stand in the same place, they will complement each other very well.

Gu Cheng's expression was a little cold and unpredictable.
