After Ye Li left the station, she went to the Guan family troupe. She felt that Cheng Dieyi should have thought about it well and knew what the best choice was.

The Guan family troupe didn't sing today, because their famous actor Duan Xiaolou broke his leg, and Cheng Dieyi refused to sing anymore, so he stubbornly stayed by his elder brother's bedside.Everyone in the troupe said that Duan Xiaolou's legs might not get better, and he would not be able to sing in the future.

Of course Ye Li knew what caused all this. In order to force Cheng Dieyi to agree and get out of the sea of ​​suffering of singing, Duan Xiaolou resorted to tricks, but something really happened, he broke his leg, and he still didn’t wake up for a long time Come.

Ye Li walked up to Cheng Dieyi who was guarding Duan Xiaolou's bed, and asked him warmly, "Have you thought about it?"

Cheng Dieyi didn't look at her, but murmured, "I just want to sing with my brother for the rest of my life, he will be the overlord, and I will be Concubine Yu."

Ye Li knelt down, stared quietly into his eyes, and said, "But he will grow old, die, marry a wife and have children, he can't accompany you, and you can't accompany him either."

Hearing this, Cheng Dieyi suddenly looked at her, and said angrily and sadly, "But he promised me."

Duan Xiaolou wants to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, isn't it a kind of betrayal to him?Cheng Dieyi regards singing as his life, but Duan Xiaolou only regards it as a dispensable thing. If there is a ladder that can reach the sky in one step, he can easily give up his acting skills, which is equivalent to giving up Cheng. Concubine Yu dressed up in butterfly clothes.

Ye Li smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm and pity, "Not all promises in this world will be fulfilled, just because you can say it, doesn't mean you can do it."

Cheng Dieyi said angrily, "But I can, rap and sing for a lifetime, a year, a month, a day, an hour... It doesn't count as a lifetime!"

Ye Li sighed and smiled again, "You live in the theater, but he lives in this world. You don't care about wealth, honor, life, old age, sickness and death, but he is just an ordinary person, no different from most people in this world."

She continued to look into Cheng Dieyi's eyes, "When he wakes up and finds that his legs are not getting better, he can't sing in an opera, and he can't live a life of glory and wealth. Tell me, will he hate you..."

Without waiting for her to continue, Cheng Dieyi said it himself, "Brother...he will hate me, how can he not hate me..."

As he spoke, he laughed miserably.

"You come with me, I will let you enjoy endless glory, do everything you want to do, and also make your senior brother's legs heal." Ye Li continued to bewitch.

Cheng Dieyi stopped laughing, and his eyes lit up slightly, "Then...then can you let Senior Brother continue to sing with me and walk with me."

Ye Li shook his head lightly under his hopeful gaze, "Only the two of us will take this journey, he is not the one I choose, he has his own destiny."

Cheng Dieyi looked sad and said, "Then why did you choose me to enjoy the glory and wealth? I am different from my brother."

Ye Li smiled and said, "You are naturally different. I said that you are unique, and your soul is pure to the extreme, unlike him, who is just a mediocre soul. Also, I didn't just let you enjoy the glory Wealthy, this is conditional. I will let you enjoy ten years, and then your soul will belong to me."

Cheng Dieyi became a little puzzled, and asked, "My soul belongs to you? Are you Yama of the underworld?"

The corner of Ye Li's mouth curved slightly, "I'm not, I'm just a businessman, a custodian, you pawn your soul to me, and in the next ten years, you can enjoy glory forever, have no worries about food and clothing, and have all the most noble things in the world. , you can have it all. Everything is at your fingertips."

She painted Cheng Dieyi the most beautiful picture in the world, as long as it is a picture that everyone will yearn for.

Cheng Dieyi asked, "I gave you my soul, do I still have an afterlife?"

Ye Li didn't lie to him, but said, "You won't have it, but isn't it better? Human beings will suffer when they live, and they will experience the misery that is everywhere in the world. In this life, you haven't had enough." ?"

Ye Li stared closely at Cheng Dieyi's eyes, as if he wanted to see the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Dieyi said in a daze, "But life will always be good, isn't it? If there is no afterlife, then there is no hope. I am not afraid of suffering, I am afraid of nothing."

Hearing this, Ye Li sighed softly, sure enough, people like to ask for trouble the most.

She got up slowly and stopped looking at Cheng Dieyi, "Since you've already made up your mind, I won't force you anymore."

Ye Li never liked to force others.

Ye Li wanted to leave, but Cheng Dieyi grabbed the hem of the white dress, "What about my senior brother? He can't sing and is disabled. He won't be able to survive."

This world can't tolerate a useless person lingering on his last breath, not to mention his senior brother is still such a strong person.

Ye Li looked down at him, and said coldly, "People can't force it. If he forces something he shouldn't have, then he is wrong. Since he is wrong, he should bear the consequences himself. You have to suffer."

Cheng Dieyi continued to beg, "Didn't you say you could make his legs better?" Although Duan Xiaolou betrayed their drama, Cheng Dieyi couldn't leave him, and watched him ignore him.

Ye Li's eyes were indifferent, and he was no longer as gentle as before, "I said that I can make his legs better, but that's a deal, one thing for one thing."

Cheng Dieyi said excitedly, "Then I am willing to exchange, eyes, limbs, anything but the soul."

"Why are you doing this?" Ye Li seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be laughing.But she also will not refuse this good enough business,

"I want your acting skills."

Cheng Dieyi was silent for two seconds, and said, "Okay."

Ye Li took away his amazing acting skills, and also restored Duan Xiaolou's legs to their original state.

Cheng Dieyi went to get her costume and put on her own makeup. When she came out again, she was the magnificent Concubine Yu, but without the overlord, Concubine Yu could not sing anymore.He walked onto the stage by himself with a sword in his hand, his figure was graceful and charming, the shadow of the sword fluttered, and he was still alive.

An elegy for the Que, "The Han soldiers have already conquered the land, the singing is besieged on all sides, the king is exhausted, how can the concubine live?" He sang hoarse and shrill, with no sound and no tune.

With a flash of sword light, a line of blood splattered on the stage,

Farewell My Concubine, he has been singing all his life.

Cheng Dieyi only cares about opera and senior brother all his life,

The play is gone, the senior brother is gone, and so is he.

Ye Li, the only spectator in the audience, got up slowly from her seat, walked out at a leisurely pace without taking a second look at the stands, her shadow was stretched very long by the afterglow of the setting sun, and she wore a white dress. It was also dyed golden.

When she walked out of the theater, she saw the gentle and smiling Father Bai who had already been waiting outside.

Ye Li sneered in her heart, she knew that the Bai family did not intend to fulfill the deal with her so easily, but she was also mentally prepared.It's just that they didn't expect that in the end, they all thought it was wrong. Forget it, the pawn shop didn't lose money, and she went back and made an explanation on the account.

As for Lao Bai, he was also very happy. Although he couldn't stop Cheng Dieyi from pawning, at least his soul didn't return to No. [-] pawn shop.Not all souls can be bought and sold, each soul has a reason for its existence.

Lao Bai smiled and said, "You can't take his soul away." Because that soul yearns for light and hope.

Ye Li chuckled, "His soul is so pure, which is what No. [-] Pawn Shop dreamed of. How do you know that I will not meet his next life, maybe in the next life, or the next life, he will ask for it again. Pawn shop, maybe he will be willing to pawn his soul at that time."

Lao Bai smiled helplessly, he knew he couldn't convince Ye Li.

Ye Li was also not interested in chatting with him, so he turned and left, and Lao Bai did the same.At the entrance of the theater, the two walked in opposite directions, and sooner or later they would meet again.

If the Bai family is light, No. [-] pawn shop is darkness, restraining each other and living together.

Ye Li's strength is still enough to support her to stay in this world for a period of time. She has traveled through the capital Beiping, the gloomy Chongqing, and the bustling Shanghai Bund.She has done business with many people, including scholars, talents, nobles, men, and women. In these businesses, the Bai family intervened without results, but more often than not, she was superior.

She once met a woman named Gu Manlu, who used to be a dancer and is now a rich wife. Unfortunately, she is infertile and neglected by her husband. She is in danger of dying at any time.She began to resent her husband who was looking for flowers and asking Liu, and also began to resent her family members who had forced her to fall into prostitution because of the difficult life.

Gu Manlu had too many things she was willing to give up, and No. [-] Pawn Shop accepted this customer, took her soul after death, and exchanged enough wealth for her to squander her entire life.

What Gu Manlu did after pawning made Ye Li very interesting. After she got the money, she immediately bought a train ticket to a distant place, without caring about her family and husband at all. She would live only for herself in the future.

Even a small person has his own way of life, whether it is righteous or lingering.

Ye Li sometimes promoted the current situation, and sometimes saved some people under the torrent of history because of their pawns.

Seeing the prosperity and decline of the world, the joys and sorrows in the troubled times,

For the rest of the journey, she originally wanted to take Cheng Dieyi with her. As she promised, she would take him to enjoy the splendor, gold and silver treasures, delicious delicacies, whatever he asked for, and she would satisfy him.She would make his last days easy.

Unfortunately, Cheng Dieyi refused.

In the No. [-] pawn shop, Ye Li sighed, and picked up a pen to continue writing on the ledger.
