Fujia Nanshi, brother and sister

Bicycles passing by rang their bells, and the shaving shop at the corner came out again, with a sign saying "10 yuan for shaving, 5 yuan for seniors, free for soldiers".

Next door is the foundation under construction, surrounded by stainless steel plates, and the cold sun in the morning shines bright blue.

"Brother, why..." Fu Cheng couldn't hold the key firmly, "Why did you come so early?"

Holding two glass balls in his hands, Jiang Bai handed Qingmei over. "Have you had breakfast?"

Fucheng shook his head.

"Chen Shuang didn't make it for you?" Jiang Bai frowned, "Is he starving you?"

"No, he's pretty good. He's been cooking for me in different ways for the past two days. It's just his cooking skills...but he's much better than me!" Fucheng was also wearing a school uniform, "He loves to chat, and even cut fruit plates for me at night. His younger brother helped me with my homework. I got up early today and didn't want to wake them up."

Sliced ​​fruit plate?It seems that the foster care fee is not in vain.Jiang Bai looked around: "Is there any breakfast nearby?"

Fucheng shook his head again. "In the past, there were small carts pushed by old people. Later, the whole street was rectified and blasted away. There is a porridge shop farther away."

"Then I'll take you to drink porridge." Jiang Bai put the marbles back into his trouser pocket, "Lead the way, let's go."

The porridge shop opened last year, and Fucheng has never been there.After being seated, Jiang Bai ordered two set meals, and added extra beef patties and three shredded spring rolls, and mixed fermented bean curd into the porridge.

The taste is very different from the mixed salty porridge made by parents.Jiang Bai took a few sips and asked, "You said your great-grandfather is from Foshan?"

"Well, the lion dance in Foshan came to the north, but my grandfather was born here, and I have been a native of the north since my grandfather." Fucheng looked for mustard shreds, "Brother, try this, it's delicious."

Jiang Bai is dubious, and his sense of taste is probably the trace left by Jiang Bai at the age of 15, which is used to prove that he has lived.After amnesia, I tasted herbs like Shennong, forcing myself to taste what I liked and what I didn’t like, but after eating, I wasn’t sure if it was what I wanted.

Mustard mustard shreds, Jiang Bai tasted the first bite with rice porridge.

"My family is from the south." He took a second sip, "My parents are from Chaoshan, but I don't know why I grew up in the north."

Fucheng divided the fritters into half, half a stick for each person.I heard that my brother's family is in Shenzhen before, but no one knows why he moved there.

"Maybe I knew it before." Jiang Bai dipped fried dough sticks in soy milk.

"If you don't know, you don't know. It's not a big problem." Fucheng smiled and ate salty tofu, "Brother, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Xiao Liwo was very hungry, Jiang Bai tasted the third mouthful, trying out the taste he really liked.There was one bite left of the beef patty, and after a while, the chopsticks on the opposite side sneaked over and picked it up.

Little greedy cat.Jiang Bai pursed his lips again.

After breakfast, we went back to the Lion Hall. The street was busier than before.Fucheng opened the big lock with the key and blew away the fly ash. "The small courtyard was bought by my grandfather when he was young. At that time, lion dances made a lot of money, but later it failed. It has not been cleaned for a long time, so be careful of dust."

The door of the small courtyard creaked open, the courtyard was square, and there was only one bungalow inside.Except that the load-bearing walls are all opened up, the exterior walls have more windows than bricks, like a warehouse.

Jiang Bai stepped in, and the auditory hallucination of the still life coming to life appeared again, and his ears seemed to be very noisy.The courtyard wall is higher than ordinary ones, and the house is also taller. It looks like a martial arts field, and it is a place suitable for practicing martial arts.There was an earthy smell in his nose, but unexpectedly he didn't find it unpleasant. On the contrary, Jiang Bai found that he liked it.

Fu Cheng picked up a big broom from the corner of the courtyard, and Wu Yang swept it wildly. "This is the Fujia class, my team, but... it didn't hold up."

"You support?" Jiang Bai stopped in the courtyard.The one-story house has been remodeled and is very tall, with a sloping roof and two large windows that let in light.One of the big windows was broken and covered with a plastic sheet.The courtyard is paved with concrete, and piles are erected. The tallest is 5 or 6 meters, the shortest is half a meter, and most of the rest are more than two meters high.The tallest one has a different color, and it should be the one that was struck by lightning.

"I can definitely hold on." Fu Cheng opened the door again, and dust rushed in.He opened the windows one by one to ventilate the air, and pointed to the big flag inside the room.

"Beijing, Fujiaban." Fucheng took a break, feeling a big lump in his heart, "That's my flag, double-sided satin, 1 meters wide, 6 meters long, and the pole alone measures 2 meters. .”

Jiang Bai followed in, and first smelled a smell of floating dust.The room was empty, except for this big flag.He remembered the metal base in Fucheng's house, where two pennants were inserted, but the socket in the middle was empty.

Just leave the position on this side.

"Why don't you take it home?" Jiang Bai touched it, and his fingers immediately turned gray.

"Because it's a fake, a substitute." Fu Cheng took a basin of water to wipe the table, "It was accepted by another martial arts school."

Jiang Bai touched it again, and there were spider webs on the big banner with gold border on the purple background. "Why did you accept it?"

"Because..." Fucheng didn't want to mention this, so he turned around and pointed outside the courtyard, "Brother, look, my father bought that big vat from Liulichang. There is no place to buy it."

"What's it for?" Jiang Bai looked at the big black tank. The diameter of the tank mouth was more than 1 meter, and the height was about his waist.

"Put water in, wash your hands, and the yard is cool." Fucheng wiped the window sill, "I can't move this jar by myself, and two people can barely push it. It's best used to freeze watermelon in summer... When I was a child, Qiu It’s been a while since I washed my hands.”

"Really?" Jiang Bai frowned, the jar seemed to be alive, "How long have you and Qiu Liqing known each other?"

Fucheng raised his head and smiled. "I've known each other since I was 3 years old, and I met my senior brother a little later, about 4 years old. At that time, my words leaked out, and I always mispronounced the two words, brother, brother, and I called him..." The speech was interrupted, Three people squeezed in through the narrow courtyard gate.

Two were taller and one was shorter, talking and laughing as they walked in.

"Really, when you see Fucheng, you know how reckless he is. He is the one who said he was going to die." Qiu Li came in with a whip, "I think your height is fine, if you can cooperate well with Fucheng... "

"Cough!" Qing Rang took a step back.

"What are you poking me for?" Qiu Li turned around and asked, then turned back, wrapped the whip around his wrist a few times, and put it away obediently, "Cough, everyone...everyone is here."

How is it such a coincidence?Qiu Li made a question mark with his eyes and looked at Qing Rang.

Qing Rang shook his head, who knows?Jiang Bai actually came with Fucheng, it was a problem for them.

The lion's head and the lion's tail have been in harmony since childhood, and the partners have only cultivated a tacit understanding for several years. Now they are asked to change Fucheng in front of the big brother.This is so exciting.

Fu Cheng stood up holding the washbasin, his face was smeared with ashes.The person who came in with the younger brother must be Gao Ang, the new tail that the younger brother found for himself.

"You are Fucheng." The tall man with long legs walked into the house from the courtyard in a few steps, with a bright smiling face and clean clothes, "Master Liao showed me your video. It is very powerful. I met your junior brother on the road. We came together."

Fucheng looked to the side.

Jiang Bai didn't say a word, and compared his height, as if he was a little taller than himself.

"Well, I'm Fucheng." Fucheng put down the washbasin and wiped his hands on his school uniform, "You... are taller than I imagined."

"You're also taller than I imagined." Gao Ang helped him clean the window sill, twisting the rag without getting dirty, "I'm 5 years older than you, call me brother, but why are you so tall?"

Fucheng looked to the side again. "Senior brother, hello."

Qiu Liqing stood in the courtyard and pretended to practice piles, but did not dare to enter the house.The gods in this room were fighting, Jiang Bai and Gao Ang really fought, and they could only fight one by one.

"I didn't expect to be so tall either." Fu Cheng walked up to Daqi and dusted off the dust, "My dad told me to grow a little longer, but I didn't." Then he glanced at Jiang Bai again, "Qiu Li is that tall It's just right, I can't lift the stake."

"Try it in a while, don't worry. My former partner is also taller, but his frame is thinner than yours. You..." Gao Ang came over and patted him. Change?"

"No, my house is full of lion heads." Fu Cheng visually inspected him, "You have... 1 meters?"

"No." The raised hand moved over the top of Fucheng's head, "1 meters. Let me tell you the truth, don't laugh, lion dance pays attention to eyesight first. If you don't have eyesight, you won't be able to practice together. I It looks good to see you, and I like your seriousness. Your juniors are also very interesting. There are not many people who observe the lion walk now, and you are rare."

Qiu Li and Qing Rang heard it, and they jumped on the farthest pile one after another.Just chat, don't bring us along, you won't be able to offend Master Brother.

Fu Cheng lowered his head, not knowing how to reply.

Gao Ang smiled, this is a single-minded stupid boy, but it is because of his single-mindedness that he kept this tradition, and he couldn't keep the Lion Walk if he was too thoughtful. "Your junior also practiced since childhood?"

"Yeah. Qiu Li also thought about giving Qing to me." Fucheng saw the juniors jumping, "Qiu Li said he was easy to find a partner, but I was not easy to find, but Qing let him get used to it, and I always It's a bit short. My business... Uncle Master told you?"

Gao Ang went to the shelf and looked. There was a lion's head sealed on the top. The plastic sheet was translucent, and it could be seen that it was Liu Bei's lion. "He said that your senior brother has changed careers, and now you are missing one..."

"His elder brother is me." Jiang Bai said suddenly.

Fu Cheng suddenly turned his head.

Qiu Li and Qing Rang tilted suddenly and almost fell off the high pile.

"You?" Gao Ang knew he was joking, "Master Liao said that the elder brother from Fucheng has already left the country."

"I came back yesterday." Jiang Bai walked to Fucheng's side, pulled up a banner and wiped it gently, his palms were soon covered with dust.Rubbing your fingertips, the dust flies in the light.

Gao Gao's every move reveals stability. "If it's really you, Fucheng's lion dance is too aggressive. Without a tacit understanding, I really can't move it. But... I know you are not, can you tell the difference between the southern lion and the northern lion?"

Qiu Li and Qing Rang kept an eye on the battle situation, brother, don't talk nonsense, he really is.

Jiang Bai frowned, wrapping his arms around Fu Cheng's shoulders. "What is the Southern Lion and the Northern Lion?"

Fucheng woke up like a dream. "That's... north of the Yangtze River is the northern lion. The lion's head can't move, it's more like a lion. The dance is rough and the footwork is heroic. There are male and female. They appear in pairs, or bring a pair of young northern lions. The appearance of the southern lion Unlike a lion, it is actually more like a pixiu, the lion head is more flexible, only a male lion, and the dance method is also more flexible."

Jiang Baiwu looked at Gao Ang heavily. "Now I know."

Gao Gao smiled and shook his head. "I'm not joking with you. Fucheng, take off the lion's head and try it on the ground first. When the strength is right, then mount the stake."

Fucheng hesitated for a moment, but climbed up the ladder to get the lion's head.The person called by the uncle had to give it a try anyway, if it didn't work, there was a reason to push it back.

"Brother, this lion head weighs 18 catties, plus me, as long as you can do it, if you can't, don't force yourself." Fucheng wiped the lion head clean, "After all... there are not many people as powerful as my senior brother, and you don't have to." I have the burden of thinking, and I feel that I must follow me after agreeing to my uncle."

"Don't worry, I will help you if I can. If I can't, I won't be brave." Gao Ang looked at his hand, "Let me see how to hold a tall lion. This lion's head is old, so don't hurt your hand."

Fucheng wipes the mirror on the forehead of the lion head, stands with his legs spread apart, his feet shoulder-width apart, his right hand holds the right horizontal bar of the bottom frame, his left palm faces upwards, and his four fingers hold the inner bottom of the lion's mouth.

Jiang Bai looked at this side, just when the lion's mouth was closed, Fucheng's arms were bent upwards, and the lion's head was slightly tilted.It's just that the face is blocked by the lion's whiskers, and the little pear dimple cannot be seen.

"Yes, very flexible." Gao Ang is an expert, "You don't wear a belt, I'll grab your trouser waist first." He stood behind Fucheng and took a steady step, stretched his hands forward to grab the school uniform, bent over, On the back of the lion batch.

Immediately, there was a long-lost sense of strength in his waist, and Fucheng turned on the switch of his body, stepping on the drumbeat in his heart to move a few times.The lion's head, which had not seen the light for a long time, swayed from side to side, with piercing eyes and erect ears.

"Get on the single leg!" Gao Ang found his racket. It was indeed a very powerful lion head. With this height, two steps beat others by a few small steps.At this time, he made a right lunge with his right leg, grabbed Fucheng's school uniform jacket with both hands and lifted it up. Fucheng used his strength to kick the ground, jumped his right foot onto his high right thigh, and lifted his left leg up.

independent potential.The lion's head is raised high above its head, which is lifelike.

"That's right." Gao Ang put him down steadily, "I should be able to withstand your weight, do you want to try on a stake?"

Fucheng took off the lion's head. "Stake now? I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

"Don't worry, if you fall, your uncle won't spare me." Gao Ang picked up the lion and walked to the side of the pile, suddenly he couldn't walk, and looked back. "Yo, it's you."

Jiang Bai grabbed the cloth of the lion batch, his eyes were full of dust particles.The fabric was in his hand, but he was pinching it bit by bit, not knowing why, so he wanted to get something back.

"Don't touch it." He looked at Gao Gao.

"Huh?" Gao Ang looked at Fu Cheng, "What does he mean?"

"It means you don't touch it." Jiang Bai held the fabric tightly, the sound of his heartbeat shook the whole room, "You can't take him, it's not yours."

"Who?" Gao Ang was completely confused.

Qiu Li peeked out of the window. "You don't really want to fight, do you? Rang Rang, do you think Jiang Bai remembers?"

"No." Qing Rang shook his head, "He didn't think about it at all, but his body was not reconciled, and he gave up his lion head and lion to others."
