Ye Lianzhou died.

Ye Lianzhou is alive again.

When he died, he died so unwillingly, and when he lived, he still lived reluctantly.

"Didn't I say it all, I don't want to do it again?!"

If a person's life could be restarted, then I believe that many people would not reject such a piece of pie that fell from the sky, right?But Ye Lianzhou is definitely not among the many people.

He lived in a turbulent age.

Under the alternation of old and new powers, the top is fighting to the death, and the people below are in panic. Famines are frequent and plagues are rampant. It is unknown how many people will starve to death every day.

Under such a background, Yizi Ershishi is no longer just characters in books, it is a living purgatory on earth.

When Ye Lianzhou was a child, his family was poor. In order to earn a living, his family sold him to a local opera troupe as an apprentice, hoping that he would learn to sing in the future.

At that time, it was no different than later, when there were more people listening to the opera, and even some laymen who didn't know a single word could hum a few tunes along with it, which shows how fashionable it is?

It is said that at that time, a character named Yi Yueguang could earn a lot of money even if he earned a tip from the audience.

Many families who can't get rid of the pot are naturally scrambling to send their children in, but who would have thought that the world would be chaotic so quickly?Just thinking about being able to have a skill will never starve to death.

1 minute on stage, ten years off stage.

In this line of work, a boy's kung fu has to be practiced from an early age. Ye Lianzhou has practiced kung fu in the theater troupe for several years. He gets up every morning before dawn to practice kung fu. turn.In the morning, at night, and at night, he has to open his throat. His repeated life is not just a day or two, but more than ten years...

He sang the first scene on stage, and that was the last scene Ye Lianzhou saw belonged to the flourishing age of the Liyuan. There were densely packed crowds of theater fans, cheering one after another... never seen such a grand scene before.

That also became the eternal freeze-frame picture in Ye Lianzhou's heart.

It was daylight outside, the heavy head was still on, and the makeup on his face was only half put on. He was reborn back to his first stage appearance in the first scene "Yutangchun".

Su San, the dan role he plays, is also named Yutangchun.

The whole play is about a famous prostitute in the Ming Dynasty and Wang Jinglong, the son of the official minister, who met and fell in love.

There are several spring equinox scenes in Yutang, and Ye Lianzhou will appear in the fourth episode of the whole play later - "Three Trials of Yutang Spring Trial"

He got up early because he was too excited to post videos for himself. If there are famous actors around him who are dedicated to doing these, but Ye Lianzhou is still an unknown newcomer, so naturally there is no such thing.

He was supposed to put on the makeup first, and then take the lead, but he was so excited. After so many years of hard training in the audience, he was finally able to go on stage, and he couldn't wait to put on the head mask.

In fact, they were almost done by themselves, and they were just about to touch their lips. Ye Lianzhou's hands trembled unconsciously when he picked up the colored marker pen. He hadn't touched these things for too long.

Facing the mirror, that was the slowest time he moved his lips.

When the senior brothers who sang together came over and saw Ye Lianzhou again, they always felt that something was wrong with him, and he couldn’t tell you exactly. He was so excited yesterday that he couldn’t sleep, but today he looked calm again, as if it wasn’t his first time. The same as the first time on stage?

Even Ye Jingyu herself couldn't help being a little eager to try.

They were backstage, the kick drum outside was already beating, the prologue was coming to an end, and it was time for them to go on stage.

"Lian Zhou...don't be nervous, we've practiced for so many years, nothing will happen."

Ye Lianzhou looked at Ye Jingyu's slightly trembling fingertips, and remembered how he comforted himself in the same way in his previous life. At that time, he was so nervous that he kept taking deep breaths.

Now that he has experienced life and death, and after this moment, Ye Lianzhou has indeed lost all the anxiety he had at that time, but he also lost the yearning and ardent hope for the future at that time.

He already knew what was coming.

Ye Lianzhou took a deep breath...

"Let's go."

No matter what the future holds, and no matter what that strange self-proclaimed system thing in his head wants to take from him, there are such strange things as resurrection from the dead, even if he is told that rebirth is just a dream he had, he will still believe it. of.

The sky will fall in the next second, but as long as you are on stage, as long as you open your mouth, you will sing a scene with no distractions. Once the scene starts, no matter what happens, it will not stop until the curtain ends.

This is the most basic cognition of an actor.

This time, Ye Lianzhou sang Danjiao, seniors sang Shengjiao, Dandan re-sang Gong, Sheng re-worked.

The old students on the stage cadenced:

"Since your Excellency left Beijing, how many states and prefectures have you passed by?"

It's not yet his part, but he watched his brother's Xiaosheng read his lines, and his basic skills are still very solid.

"Passing through eight prefectures and one hundred and eight counties in Kyushu."

"Where to dismount?"

"Taiyuan Mansion dismounts."

"Is there any Kit Kat case in it?"

"There is a Kit Kat case, and one of them is the murder of her own husband."

"Your Excellency interrogated today, which case is it?"

"Naturally, the case of murdering my husband will be tried first."

Did you hear that the prisoner in front of you brought her?

It was time for Ye Lianzhou to appear amidst the beating of gongs and drums. In one of the two best judging sessions in Yutang Chunli, the singing skills of the dan roles were even more heavy.

When he appeared on the stage, he shouted "Bitter!"

Instantly brought the audience into the scene,

Ye Lianzhou walks and sings, sings and walks.

No matter what kind of mood he felt before going on stage, he couldn't remember anything when he was on stage. It was his habit of more than ten years, a conditioned reflex carved into his bones and flesh and blood.

"When I came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I raised my eyes and looked up. The knives and axes on both sides made me tremble with fear! Su San's going here is like a fish caught in a net and never returned."

Like weeping and complaining, euphemistic and pleasant, the lingering sound is endless.

The roar of applause from the audience was just like what Ye Lianzhou remembered, and he knew in his heart that this was his first time on stage and it would also be his last.

At the curtain call, Ye Lianzhou looked around carefully. He wanted to engrave such a grand scene and the expressions on the faces of every fan firmly in his mind.

Until his eyes swept to the very edge...

He saw a familiar person.

He was wearing a western-style dark cloak, and he was taller than the others, obviously he was the most conspicuous at a glance, so why did Ye Lianzhou in his previous life have no impression of this place at all?

Xiang Yan!

Ye Lianzhou has never figured out what this person meant, why he wanted to show favor to him in his previous life, why he gave him various gifts without saying a word, and carried boxes of clothes and jewelry to his yard.

Anyway, Ye Lianzhou didn't even look at those things.

The first time I heard the name Xiang Yan was in a particularly bad environment. Ye Lianzhou was tied up by a group of people and sent to a high-end compound as soon as he stepped off the stage.

Those who came to look for him said at the beginning what was it that Master Yan wanted to see him?

What Lord Yan?Who is Lord Yan?

Ye Lianzhou really didn't remember when Biancheng had a Lord Yan, and he didn't know him anyway, so he naturally refused.So Ye Lianzhou, who had just stepped off the stage after the first scene, hadn't had time to cleanse her face, and her buttocks hadn't warmed up a bit, was kidnapped by a group of people who looked like bandits.

Along the way, in the western car, the bones almost fell apart.

They sent him to the bed in a room and walked away, leaving Ye Lianzhou alone.

The head and face on his head and the costumes on his body are very heavy, not to mention his hands are still tied behind his back, no matter how he thinks about it, it is impossible to be comfortable, but the conditioned reflex of years of practice has made him stand up straight, and at the same time... this It will also be more tiring.

And under such circumstances, even if the man came over and untied him first, he explained to him that it was because the people under him had misunderstood what he meant.

He really didn't want to "invite" him over like this.

He said he just wanted to buy him a cup of tea, nothing else.

Oh, sophistry.

Ye Lianzhou didn't believe Xiang Yan's nonsense at all, he stretched his tied wrists that were a little numb, and looked coldly at the awkward words and deeds of the tall man in uniform.

He and Ye Lianzhou introduced themselves by saying that his name is Xiang Yan, San Huoyan, he is not from Biancheng, he was temporarily sent by the superior to suppress the bandits a few days ago, and he is a newcomer, so it is normal that Ye Lianzhou does not know him.

Yo, listening to the name, this is really a master.

Xiang Yan said that he likes to listen to opera very much, and he praised Ye Lianzhou for singing very well, but when he said this, his face was blushing and his neck was thick, it didn't look like he was saying that he likes opera...

Instead, he confessed his love to his sweetheart like a dumbfounded stunned head.

In the previous life, Ye Lianzhou held a cup of tea steadily, but didn't take a sip. He just thought that Xiang Yan was so funny that he actually said that he likes to listen to operas?

With one glance at Ye Lianzhou, he was sure that the man in front of him had absolutely and definitely never heard of any drama before.

Don't say that he can't understand, even if he was asked to tell which song he sang just now and which role he played, Xiang Yan probably wouldn't be able to answer a single word.

What are you still pretending to do here?

He thought he was lying, maybe he had never seen his plays, but in this life, Xiang Yan had indeed come to hear his plays?Although he really didn't understand if he didn't understand, but he was definitely focused and serious when looking at his expression off the stage.

As for why Ye Lianzhou in his previous life didn't see him?

Maybe it was because he was immersed in the joy of finally being on stage, imagining that he would be able to sing many more performances in the future, so he didn't notice Xiang Yan who was so conspicuous below?

In her previous life, Ye Lianzhou had been pestered by Xiang Yan for a long time. In fact, the theater troupe was already a bit out of date at that time, so knowing that Xiang Yan invited him to sing at his house, he had other plans.

He still had to go.

Xiang Yan spent a lot of money, and the money he gave was more than enough to buy him. Ye Lianzhou was not a character at that time, a little famous actor.

Ye Lianzhou himself didn't understand why he was so attached to him. He had already promised him to let him go back to the opera troupe, but after a few days he suddenly went back on his word.

Xiang Yan said that since he likes to sing operas, he can set up a stage for himself in the yard, and only sing for him in the future.

Isn't this house arrest in disguise?

Ye Lianzhou made all kinds of noises, but no matter if he threw the precious things in Yan's room casually, or cursed at him, even if he kicked and kicked Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan would never waver.

Xiang Yan didn't panic until he started his hunger strike.

Xiang Yan held the rotten meat porridge to the side and coaxed: "Zhouzhou, don't make things difficult for yourself, at least eat a little, how can you make trouble with me when you have no strength."

Ye Lianzhou was already very hungry, but she still tried her best not to look away, and refused to eat anyway.

Then Xiang Yan took the bowl and drank it by himself, and then forced Ye Lianzhou to eat it.At that time Ye Lianzhou was so disgusted that she almost vomited.

Some meat porridge that Ye Lianzhou didn't swallow flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Xiang Yan leaned down to lick it off with a distressed look, and said, "Don't waste Zhouzhou."

How could Ye Lianzhou know the situation outside in Xiang Yan's mansion at that time, how did he know that there was a famine outside again, and countless people had starved to death.

Those who survived were so hungry that they gnawed bark and ate grass roots. Not to mention meat porridge, even white rice porridge with clear soup and little water was rarely eaten.

Ye Lianzhou didn't know about those things until later, but when he was by Xiang Yan's side, when he thought he was forced to stay by his side, he still hated this and that.

And what he ate was basically Xiang Yan giving him his share.Although Xiang Yan is a military master with a high position, the world is difficult, he is not a bandit who can't take other people's food.

And because he is a newcomer, and the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he is alone and unable to use it in Biancheng.

The forces in Biancheng were originally controlled by the Liang and Yan families. In the past, the two families were just fighting and guarding against each other. Suddenly a boss came by airborne, and no one wanted to be taken away by this outsider.

With a common enemy, the two families temporarily shook hands and began to work together to deal with the foreign Xiang Yan, but Xiang Yan was too difficult to deal with.

A seemingly incomprehensible old man is so smooth and impeccable in his work. He neither accepts gifts nor sees outsiders. He conscientiously completes his task of suppressing bandits, and only reports the progress to his superiors every once in a while.

You must know that many bandits in Biancheng and the two major families in the city have contacts in private. Although they have no intersection in name, they often communicate with each other behind the scenes.

The two big families turned a blind eye to those bandits outside the city, and even provided them with some protection, and those bandits made offerings to the two big families regularly every month.

This is a tacit agreement in Biancheng.

And Xiang Yan's suppression of the bandits is cutting off their money.

After observing for a long time, the Liang and Yan families found Xiang Yan's weakness.

At first, I heard that he fell in love with an actor, and he ran to the Liyuan every day, giving people things every day.

Although they all thought that Xiang Yan was just playing for fun, this finally had a breakthrough, and they found Ye Lianzhou after a lot of effort.

And for Ye Lianzhou, who was eager to run away from Xiang Yan at that time... Of course, he agreed to cooperate with them, and he himself also believed the nonsense of those people.

In my heart, I also felt that Xiang Yan was using his power to force himself to obey him. He didn't treat him sincerely, but just teased him casually, and wanted to raise him like a canary.

People outside all say that Ye Lianzhou is a rabbit master...

Master Rabbit is not a nice name.

In fact, even Ye Lianzhou knew that he was no more than a low-level actor, at best, he was just a bit more upright.People just treat him as a toy, Xiang Yan will never...

You can't really fall in love with him, can you?

According to those people, what Ye Lianzhou has to do is also very simple, he just needs to steal something from Xiang Yan and give them to them. He doesn't know what it is, it may be something like a personal certificate.

Anyway, since he stole it away, Xiang Yan has been much busier than usual. He used to bother him whenever he was free, but he hasn't seen him for several days since then.

Like something tripped my feet.

In short, it also gave Ye Lianzhou a chance to escape. When Ye Lianzhou thought that running from Xiang Yan's side was returning from hell to the human world, only after she got out did she realize that the outside is the purgatory on earth.

The theater troupe has long since ceased to exist, and Ye Lianzhou has suffered a lot in the troubled times, hungry and full.

After all, what kind of skill is it if you don't have a long body and can only sing a few lines of babbling?In the prosperous times, there might still be people who are interested in listening, but in troubled times, people are exhausted, and they might die tomorrow, so how can they bother to listen to them?

Until the end, suddenly someone came to him.

It was the one who had come to tie him up before, Xiang Yan's confidant and subordinate, who had lost half of his arm through some unknown experience.And he brought an address and a piece of news that was good or bad for Ye Lianzhou.

There was a box of gold buried in the cellar at that address, and it was said that Xiang Yan wanted to marry him.

And the news is that Xiang Yan died.

"Before he died, he even said that he would find you...give this thing to you, so that you won't starve and freeze for the rest of your life...and asked me to tell you to take it quietly and hide it secretly..."

Having said that, the man raised his sleeve and wiped his tears.

"I really don't understand why Lord Yan fell in love with a little boy like you. Have you let the dog eat up your conscience? Lord Yan is so kind to you, you... you!"

Ye Lianzhou, who was a bit disheveled at the time, first looked at the crumpled note in his hand, the crooked words on it were authentic to Xiang Yan's handwriting, the note was soaked in blood, and the blood had already turned black.

He suddenly laughed out loud:

"I do not know either."

The author has something to say: Note: There is a paragraph in the middle that quotes the libretto of the Peking Opera Yutangchun play.
