() Found the way home!

Changdong replied: "Yes."

"What do you call me little brother?"

The man was completely devastated, but he stood under the lonely tree late at night and was not panicked and afraid. Changdong felt that he had some background, so he answered politely: "Changdong."

"Oh, my name is Li Jinao."

Changdong stared at the ground: Just now Li Jinao was sprinkling rice, and the rooster was slapping and pecking at food. Logically speaking, there should be ten or eight grains on the ground no matter what.

There was not a grain of rice, and the chicken, after pecking the rice, closed its eyelids slightly, as if it was hanging upside down on the assembly line to be slaughtered, and it was still moving as if it was in a meditation.

Li Jinao looked at him with a little complacent voice: "My rooster is not an ordinary person... How many of you are rushing to the night without bringing a rooster to ward off evil spirits?"

Changdong said: "I left in a hurry and didn't care."

Li Jinao understood it quite well: "Those who can drive iron cars don't look down on this."

Changdong had a headache: it is said that wealth is not revealed. Now it seems that driving on the road is like putting money all over your clothes, and a hairdryer is installed next to it, creating a sound effect at all times, for fear that others will not notice it.

Ding Liu couldn't sit in the back seat anymore, his voice was very low: "Brother Dong, you are not afraid of suffocating people to death when you chat like this. If you were asked to see the venue in my karaoke bar, the guests would have been gone."

Changdong tactfully gave in to the side, and Ye Liuxi signaled to Ding Liu to the outside of the car.

Ding Liu wanted to show his hands, stepped on the back seat, pressed Changdong's headrest to maintain balance, and stuck his head out of the car window, smiling: "Hello Uncle Ao."

She was like a fish standing in a strait, and Gao Shen had to hold her ankle to prevent her from suddenly becoming unstable in the center of gravity and slipping out of the car window.

The sound of "Uncle" was so loud that Li Jinao smiled and said, "It's a little girl."

"Call me Xiao Liu'er, uncle, you are so brave. I haven't lived in a nightclub. My brother Dong scared me and said that nightclubs are very scary."

As he said that, he pounded Changdong's shoulder with an elbow. Changdong coughed twice and lowered his voice: "Don't be too exaggerated."

Seeing Ding Liu's smile so sweet and tender, Li Jinao's tone became more caring: "Your brother is right, the red flower tree nightclub is a little messy. People come to live, and others... will come to live."

Ding Liu widened his eyes: "This is OK? What should I do if something happens?"

She turned her head and shouted at Changdong: "Brother Dong, you won't tell me long ago! I'm timid, it's not the first day you know!"

Changdong used his finger to plug his ear against her side, and Ye Liuxi sighed in his ear on the other side: "If you want to deal with half-old man, you have to rely on half-sized girls."

Li Jinao comforted Ding Liu: "It's okay, it's spreading strangely, but it's not that mysterious in fact. Just follow the rules. Besides, no matter how many people you dare to go to Liangshan, no one can eat a good meal if you can stay in a nightclub."

Ding Liu's eyes dripped: "Uncle Ao, are you praising yourself in different ways. We, the people in this car, dare to walk at night with a few courages, and they are still scared all the way. You tie a chicken on your belt, and you are alone in this pestle, like basking in the sun... Uncle Ao, you must be very powerful, right?"

Li Jinao smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, but then he thought about the word "humility": "Where is where..."

He raised the box in his hand: "I'm just a shadow puppet in the market. I'll stay there later. I'll see if there is a chance to start the show. I'll support you if you have time."

Before he finished speaking, the light on the red flower tree suddenly slid slowly along the branches. Ding Liu said "Ah" and before he could say "Ah", Li Jinao also saw it: "It's almost time to collect the trees, let's follow."

The warm light gathered like a stream of water, gathered to the bottom of the tree, and then winded into the distance, like a pointing light snake. Ding Liu pretended to be confused: "What's this? Oh, who told me last time, and I forgot about it again, this brain!"

She clenched her fists and knocked her head.

Li Jinao replied: "Liuguang, people in the hotel dare not come out randomly at night, and they all use Liuguang to lead the way. This thing is stupid, two points and one line, and they don't know how to wait for others. Or they say Liuguang is easy to throw people away, so they have to follow."

He followed with great strides, Changdong drove the car and followed slowly behind.

Ding Liu sat back on his seat, reached out and rubbed his neck. He was just lying down and his neck was tilted, which was no wonder.

Fei Tang praised her: "Okay, Xiao Liu'er, come on your mouth."

Ding Liu's eyelids drooped: "Isn't it just shameless? My godfather taught me that the little girl is shameless and innocent. People will think she is cute, at most, they will think you are ignorant and brainless. If you are older, if you use this trick, they will be guarding you. They think you have ulterior motives... Oh, Brother Dong, this person surnamed Li didn't tell the truth. Hey, who believes that he is a shadow puppet, who believes it?"

Changdong replied: "Isn't he going to start tonight? You'll know when the time comes."

After about fifteen minutes of driving, the light penetrated into the ground, and everyone and the car stopped waiting. After a while, a one-meter-square-meter-square-meter-square-meter-square-shaped cover was lifted from the ground, and the person who looked out said "You need a parking space... I'll wait."

He led Li Jinao down first.

After waiting for a few minutes, the ground was opened a few dozen meters away from the west head, and the man waved there: "This, here, drive in."

In fact, it is an underground garage. The entrance is a slope downward, and the door is covered with ground. When closed, it is no different from flat ground.

The garage is not big, and you can park at most two or three cars, but now, there is only one of them.

Several people each took their luggage and got out of the car. Changdong took out a disposable medical mask packaged separately for Ye Liuxi and told her to wear it.

Ye Liuxi wondered: "Why? Because I am beautiful?"

She knew that she was beautiful, but she knew that she was not as beautiful as she was fascinated: she sold melons for so long, and only met someone once because she was beautiful that she forgot to find change, and later she came and wanted to go back.

Chang Dong lowered his voice: "You who have gained a new life on the hanging rope, when you go to a crowded place, should you cover your face? You don't worry about any mortal enemy in the pass?"

Ye Liuxi took it to the area very obediently.

The man led them through the tunnel, pushed open the small door and entered the lobby.

The scale here is not too large, with dim lights and a bit like the Hakka earthen buildings in Fujian. It is simple and old, with a diameter of about forty or fifty meters. It is about two floors dug down. It is round and circled around it. There are dozens of rooms. The middle part of the ring is a dining room and event place. There are several tables being eaten, and a few roosters walking around the table.

The front desk was in a corner, with a light sign hanging on the top. Changdong looked carefully and found that the words "Welcome" were made of transparent rubber tubes and were not powered up. A warm red light was slowly flowing over the rubber tubes.

No wonder Li Jinao said that he was stupid and stupid. Two points and one line was a little bit. It was very interesting to think about it: decorate a tree of red flowers, use as a signpost, and makes light signs. Every day, he is monotonous and dull, and he is always picking up customers.

A middle-aged woman sat in the front desk, her eyes were as plain as a piece of white paper. She patted a piece of cardboard: "After 11 o'clock, don't walk around in public areas after the electricity is out, otherwise anything will happen, you will be responsible for your own casualties and injuries. You will be on the first floor. Take a bath and go to the toilet with water... This list is what we are interested in, please take a look."

Changdong looked at it, thought about the amount of supplies in the car, and took a pen to hook up flashlights, medical medicines, dry batteries, pliers, wrenches, etc.

The woman was quite satisfied: "That's enough to live in. How to change it, check out and settle it again."

Changdong chose a large room on the second floor. This hotel has some inexplicable yin energy. It would be safer to live together. If the bed is not enough, you can use the floor. Anyway, there are no spoiled people this time.

After putting down the luggage, several people went downstairs to have dinner, ordered a few bowls of egg noodles, and waited for the noodles to be served, and looked around and found that someone was going to do business: some handed over a notebook to tell stories, some people measured the size on site to make clothes, and some people sold roosters.

The noodles came up, and Ye Liuxi pushed the mask upward, revealing only one mouth, picking a chopstick noodles, and eating without any barriers.

Chang Dong was just thinking it was funny when he suddenly heard the stern voice of the woman at the front desk: "There are no customers, what shadow puppets to watch!"

Looking back, Li Jinao was carrying the box and was saying something to the woman as if she was pleased.

The woman was impatient: "I have given you special preferential treatment, so it's good to live in vain. What kind of world is there? I'll give you something to ask you to start a show? In short, we don't invite you, please go to the table and ask. It's the customer's business that is willing to pay for the show."

Changdong felt a little moved: What kind of person is "this type of person"? Why can he treat it with special preferences and live in vain?

He looked at Ye Liuxi.

I have become a habit. If you have something to discuss, she must be the first person I think of.

Ye Liuxi also looked at him, his mask was wrinkled and piled up on his nose, making him funny: "Or, let's ask him to open the show?"

Fei Tang was burying his head and eating, feeling that it was a waste of invitation: "It's a good idea to invite him. Brother Dong can also play shadow puppets. We have a lot of supplies, so we have to save some money."

Ding Liu was actually unhappy: "Sister Xi wants to see it, so please invite it. You are so stingy, I will treat it!"

She turned her head and screamed in a coquettish manner: "Uncle Ao, here."

Li Jinao's eyes lit up, and he came over with the showcase. The rooster tied to his belt swayed around like a lifeless ornament.

He first handed over the booklet and asked to choose a story. Once the booklet was released, the first one was "Summoning the Soul".

Changdong asked him: "Is it the story between Emperor Wu of Han and Mrs. Li?"

Li Jinao nodded: "Yes, this story is the origin of shadow puppets, and it has always been the first to be released in the playbook."

Changdong said: "Then let's do this."

Li Jinao put away the booklet and opened the playbox to prepare. Changdong was stunned for a moment.

There was nothing else in this playbox except a piece of three-foot piece of raw silk, a pottery jar, and a black cloth pocket.

This is really far from his playbox. In his playbox, there are all kinds of cowhide, chisels, finished or semi-finished shadow puppet characters, draft maps, colored pens, and melted bone discs... and ten fingers can't count them.

Li Jinao said shamelessly: "Look at the shadow puppet, look for me, then you are looking for the right person. I can't do it now, but my ancestors are not bragging. They served Emperor Wu of Han to watch shadow puppets..."

He fixed the playbox to half a piece, and the raw silk cloth was stretched flat on the corners of the box, with black leather on the edges of the box, and tightened and clasped, forming a small stage with the silk cloth without leaks.

Then he picked up the black cloth pocket, tied the mouth slightly loose, and leaned to the mouth that was lifted, holding the bottom of the pocket, shaking again and again, as if driving the things in the pocket into it.

Changdong saw clusters of faint greens as big as needle tips, swaying into the small backstage. A glimmer of light behind the curtain, like a swaying ghost fire.

A little bite?

Changdong's heartbeat was beating violently and he kept staring at the curtain. Li Jinao took the pottery and put it on a tune. The sound of the temple was very low, and it was a bit vicissitudes. The light and darkness changed behind the curtain, and gradually became a silhouette of the Great Wall. A slim woman stood at the top of the city, covering her face with her hands, shaking.

Ye Liuxi leaned into his ear and whispered: "I'll ask Liu to add a few more dishes and serve some wine. Will he get rid of his clichés later?"

Changdong nodded.

Ye Liuxi hooked Ding Liu. After she came over, she was attached to her ear and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly fell on the rooster hanging upside down between Li Jinao's waist.
