The strange case of the demon book

? Within a few days, Boss Lin arranged for Huo Wencai to meet with the owner of the Yongming Theater Troupe.Still in Jinjiang Restaurant, when Boss Lin recommended Huo Wencai to Yongming Troupe, the smile on Master Lu's face was very stiff.But he didn't want to take away Boss Lin's kindness.Because after the absence of Ling Junru from the Yongming Opera Troupe, the troupe has declined, and now only Leshan Theater can allow them to perform on stage.If the Leshan Theater does not give them a stage to sing, the troupe will really leave Guangzhou City and disband.So even though he was unwilling, Team Leader Lu still complied.

This is also the reason why Boss Lin wanted to push Huo Wencai to Rongtian's troupe.Because he can see the current situation of the Yongming Troupe, if the Yongming Troupe can't produce good plays before the end of this year, then next year, they may not be able to perform on the stage of Leshan Theater again.The current situation still keeps the Yongming Troupe because this troupe once produced Ling Junru, and he was also one of his favorite actors. Unfortunately, the pillar of the Yongming Troupe has disappeared.

Team leader Lu saw Huo Wencai, a big, stupid man with no intentions, and took him away.

Along the way, Huo Wencai showed his image as a big fool to the fullest, which also made Team Leader Lu let down his vigilance.Leader Lu brought Huo Wencai to the courtyard where they were resting, and then called all the troupe together: "This is Huo Wencai, and he will be your junior from now on.

Wangxiang, who was standing below, had a gloomy expression when he saw Huo Wencai. The faces of other troupe members looked at him with some numb and heartless expressions, some vigilant ones, and some puzzled ones.But at least from the expressions of these people, Huo Wen could see that he was very unpopular.

Leader Lu continued: "Wen has a foundation in kung fu, and I will follow Gu Feng to learn martial arts from now on."

"Yes, class leader." Gu Feng stood up and said.

"Go to practice for nothing. Gu Feng, you take Wencai to change clothes and take him to practice." Team Leader Lu said.

"Yes."

Huo Wencai recognized the young samurai who was fighting with Wangxiang.

After Team Leader Lu left, Gu Feng stepped forward and took Huo Wencai to a room full of clothes, and Huo Wencai changed into a loose and breathable practice costume.Huo Wencai followed Gu Feng to the big courtyard behind. The people in the courtyard were practicing, but they were vigilant when looking at them.No, not just them.No matter who they are, they are wary of each other.

Even if Gu Feng took him with him, he was still very wary of him. Whenever he asked trivial questions, the other party would always reply "I don't know".Huo Wencai shook his head with a smile in his heart—these people with ghosts in their hearts, the expressions on your faces are simply telling the world my problem.

Gu Feng picked □□ into Huo Wencai's hands: "Brother Wencai, follow me."

Huo Wencai caught it: "Okay."

Therefore, Huo Wen followed Gu Feng to practice move by move.Gu Feng knew that Huo Wencai would not have the chance to be on stage now, so he taught him slowly, but Huo Wencai couldn't get anything out of Gu Feng's mouth, even if he deliberately struck up a conversation with other actors, the other actor would say "I don't know" to prevaricate.

During the break, Huo Wencai went to the hut, and after arriving at the hut, Wangxiang who followed outside said to Huo Wencai who was inside through the wall, "What is your purpose?"

"Of course it's for singing." Huo Wen leisurely put water under himself and replied.

"No matter what your purpose is, if it hinders me, I will not be polite to you." Said this and left.Huo Wencai lifted his pants and went back to practice.

Purpose?What is your purpose?

During the few days of practicing in the Leshan Theater, the whole troupe was depressed and dull, and everyone was on guard against each other.No one said a word except that they needed to speak during the play practice.

After a day of practice and a rest at night.Huo Wencai quietly got up and climbed over the wall to leave the house of Leshan Theater without disturbing others.When Huo Wencai arrived at the red house on Taiping Street, Ma Wenrui was already waiting for him, and there was also a young girl.

"Girl, your name is Brother Wencai."

The girl smiled obediently and called out: "Brother Wencai."

"This is the girl from my neighbor's house, and she is learning to sing from Sixi Opera Troupe." Ma Wenrui said proudly.But Huo Wencai was surprised: "Now the opera troupe also accepts female students." He thought that Ma Wenrui would find a male actor.

"Absolutely. When the military government was still in power, didn't Governor Hu say that men and women should be treated equally." Ma Wenrui said with a smile.Although the military government is now disintegrated, some things are still there.Now some restaurants have begun to hire waitresses.I heard that a certain restaurant caused those noble children to fight because of the waitress.This matter was aroused in Guangzhou City. Some people watched it for fun, and some scolded the waitress for going to the restaurant to show her face.

The military government disintegrated last year. When Governor Hu was in power, he strictly prohibited smoking, gambling, trafficking and exporting Chinese laborers for export, and cut braids and advocated equality between men and women.After the disintegration of the military government, gambling and prostitution, etc., are left behind, which are still good.So now, there will be actresses in troupes and waitresses in restaurants.After that there will be more women in street shops.

Huo Wencai knew that Ma Wenrui was his sweetheart when he saw Ma Wenrui's proud and protective look.

"Look, I got someone to make it for you." Ma Wenrui said and took out a suit in a bag to show Huo Wencai.Huo Wencai picked it up and took a look: "Not bad, not bad. It's exactly the same." Huo Wencai praised.

"Next, what shall we do?" Ma Wenrui said.

Huo Wencai put away the costumes and said to Ma Wenrui and the girl, "Girl, can you sing "A Dream in the Garden"?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Ling's best performance." The girl said.

"Sing a few lines and listen."

"The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows surround the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and the music is endless, and the flowers are blooming..."

The girl was singing in the small red room, and when it was over, Huo Wen praised: "Your singing is really good. Girl, brother Wencai wants to ask you to do something..." So Huo Wencai told the girl what she was going to do over again.

"Well, good." The girl said.

After the agreement was made, Huo Wen returned to the house.Huo Wencai entered the room and lay down on the bed, Wangxiang on the next bed slowly opened his eyes and clenched his fists...

The next day, good news came from Leshan Theater——Leshan Theater was almost packed.The oppressive atmosphere of the theater troupe of more than a dozen people disappeared a lot at once.

"Brother Gu Feng, can I go on stage?" Huo Wencai asked stupidly.

Gu Feng said with a cold face: "You practice well first, and one day you will have the opportunity to be on stage."

"Yes! I will practice hard!" Huo Wencai promised.

Evening, after dark.

"The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows surround the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and the music is endless, and the flowers are blooming..."

Huo Wencai pushed Gu Feng who was sleeping next to him in a daze: "Brother Gu Feng, who is practicing. It's so noisy."

In the dark, Gu Feng trembled with red eyes: "No one is singing. You heard it wrong."

Huo Wencai was reluctant: "Someone is really singing, I really heard it."

"Sleep quickly, don't make noise." Gu Feng was drenched in sweat.

"Oh." Huo Wen pretended to lie down, but from the disordered breathing in the room, Huo Wen knew that no one was sleeping.

"Ah—" Huo Wencai's strange cry woke everyone up.

Gu Feng was a little annoyed: "What's your name!"

"Someone floated past just now." Huo Wencai pointed outside and said in a trembling voice.

"The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows surround the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and the music is endless, and the flowers are blooming..."

The voice of singing floated up again.The moonlight outside shone into the house, and every face became very pale.

"Master, senior brother. Someone is really singing, listen to it, listen to it." Huo Wencai held onto Gu Feng tightly.

"Sleep! Sleep! You sleep for me too!" Gu Feng said, pointing at all the awakened people.

"Oh, oh. Good." Huo Wen was about to lie down, and then he exclaimed again: "Ah——"

"What are you doing again!"

"Shadow! I saw an extra shadow there just now!" Huo Wencai pointed to a Zhengdan bed surnamed Meng and said.Zhengdan, surnamed Meng, rolled out of bed in fright.

Gu Feng followed his fingers to look over, but there was nothing.

"Nothing, everyone sleeps with me." Gu Feng said, but Zhengdan, surnamed Meng, was frightened, and he squeezed to sleep with the niche next door.

The next day, everyone practiced in a spiritless manner.The teacher's face is not very good-looking.Huo Wencai practiced conscientiously.

At night, the sound of opera singing came from the house again, but no one dared to move.Some people were so depressed that they cried, and everyone was extremely mentally broken.

Unable to bear it, Gu Feng rushed out and shouted: "Who is it! Come out! Don't play tricks!"

But he couldn't find anyone except the faint singing voice.

Two days later, after the Leshan Theater was repaired, it was published in the newspaper and opened.When they received the news, everyone's expressions softened a little.After the news of the opening of the Leshan Theater spread, the tickets for the evening were sold out.Gu Feng only asked Huo Wencai to help everyone in the background.

Before the show started that night, everyone was busy backstage getting ready to go on stage.Gu Feng and Wang Xiang came to the stage first, and won applause and shouts from the audience after some fighting and singing.The next scene was a scene sung by Zhengdan and Xiaosheng. Zhengdan, surnamed Meng, let out a frightened scream when he was rummaging through costumes, and then collapsed to the ground.

"What's going on?" The head teacher went backstage.

"Costume... Costume..." Zhengdan, surnamed Meng, pointed at a costume that had fallen on the ground, shaking his body.

Leader Lu stepped forward to pick up the costume, and everyone turned pale.

This is a Zhengdan costume, but the chest of the costume is dry.

"Ling, Ling Junru's costume." Someone said in a trembling voice.

"What are you doing standing there! Hurry up and get ready to go on stage, Wencai, take this out and burn it." Leader Lu shouted loudly, and handed over the costume to the bewildered Huo Wencai to dispose of.Huo Wencai took it without asking, "Yes."

So he took it out.

When Huo Wencai came back from the outside, seeing the atmosphere was even worse, he realized that Zhengdan who was on stage had fallen while singing.

"It's him...he's back..." Na Zhengdan burst into tears.

"Shut up!" With a "slap", Team Leader Lu hit Zhengdan on the face, and his face was instantly swollen.

Fear filled everyone's heart...
