Old Man Jiang and I finally got not only water to drink, but also a large bowl of hot rice cooked with fresh cowpeas, and a plate of crispy soaked white radish skins.

The meal was simple, but the fresh cowpeas were sweet and the soaked radish skin was refreshing. I ate happily. Old Man Jiang also praised me a few times, and then started to chat with the woman. After a while,

Her old lady also came out.

The old woman and Old Man Jiang chatted more happily. They chatted for a while. Old Man Jiang talked about Li Fengxian very casually. The old woman also answered very casually. She said: "In this village, what do you want?"

If you ask others, you may not know how many people here moved here during the Japanese war, but my ancestors are from this village, and I really know about her, but why do you come here?"

Old Man Jiang said to the old woman mysteriously: "You don't know, I used to care about her when I was young. I don't want to go back to my hometown anymore. Why don't you ask her?"

I almost spit out my rice in one mouthful, and immediately I choked and felt like the sky was falling. This master! I couldn't find any adjectives, so I could only ask the heavens for help.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was also an old gossip, and she became excited when she heard it. She said: "Really? Which village are you from? Seriously, you are not the only one who is curious about it. In the past, many young men from eight villages in this area liked Li Fengxian.

, It’s just a pity, a pity.”

"Yeah, I know there are many people who are curious about her, but I didn't dare to say it. Later, I left the village and became indifferent. I won't come back now, so why don't I just want to ask? You also know that this person is old.

I will miss the innocent feelings of my youth, alas." Old Man Jiang looked sad.

It's pity that I had a violent cough, and I was stimulated by his words and sprayed all over the hot rice on the table. I still had the innocent feelings of my youth. God knows who wanted to suppress others last night, but today I became an admirer again.

"Is your grandson okay? Are you coughing and squirting again?" the old woman asked doubtfully.

"It's okay. He has a tracheal problem. When he's in a hurry, he sprays his rice. It'll be fine when he's older." My parents, unfortunately, kept saying yesterday that Old Man Jiang doesn't lie and is an honest person. Today, he gave me a

Got the 'rice-spraying disease'.

Come on, I can't afford to offend him, so I'll just eat in small bites so as not to spit it out again later.

"Sister, tell me what's wrong with you?" Old Man Jiang kept asking. God knows why he wanted to ask about the life of a female ghost. I was too lazy to ask about this nagging master.

The old woman couldn't hold back her chatterbox as soon as she opened it up, and began to talk about the past slowly. In the end, even I was fascinated by it and couldn't help but sigh.

Just like the cliche stories before, Li Fengxian is half an orphan. His mother died at a young age and his father is an alcoholic. Anyway, he is one of the most pitiful people in this town.

Later, my father married another man and paid no attention to Li Fengxian. But just like that, Li Fengxian still grew up slowly. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she was extremely smart.

Ordinarily, in the rural areas at that time, it was time to find a husband for the girl. Although her father treated her indifferently, he still cared about the matter. The first thing he thought about was that the girl was smart.

By getting more betrothal money to support the family. Secondly, by finding a good husband, the woman will not have to worry about her future livelihood.

Originally, according to the way things were going, Li Fengxian's fate would have been okay, at least it wouldn't be too miserable. But it was a coincidence that just when her father was looking for a husband for her, the big family in the village, Landlord Wang's family, invited the theater troupe.

.

This troupe was a famous troupe in the city, and there were famous actors in it. Who said there was no idol worship at that time? At least people looked after some famous opera actors.

This troupe was brought to Landlord Wang for his birthday, so he went through great trouble and spent a lot of money to invite it.

In Sichuan, Sichuan Opera is the main one, but there are also many Peking Opera troupes. This troupe is the Peking Opera troupe, and its most famous play is "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix".

On the day the troupe came, the village was very lively. Landlord Wang was not a bad person who exploited his neighbors. On his birthday, he invited the whole township to watch the opera. Everyone who could make it that day came to chase famous actors.

Well, of course this includes Li Fengxian.

The play started in a lively manner. The village was very lively that day, but something happened that day. The boss of the troupe took a fancy to Li Fengxian.

This "valuing" does not mean valuing her beauty, but valuing her potential to become a famous actress. As for how they saw and valued her, the people in the village don't know the specific process. Anyway, they know that the troupe boss solemnly asked her to find her.

He killed Li Fengxian's father and finally took Li Fengxian away.

After all, becoming a famous actor has a better future than finding a wealthy family in this village. Although this Fengxian father is an alcoholic, he is not confused about this matter.

Poor people don't care about reputation. At least people from poor families don't think that people in Liyuan are low-class people. They are down-to-earth and simple.

Anyway, Fengxian's father once proudly boasted to the people in the village that the opera troupe boss said that although Fengxian was a little old for learning opera, she was indeed a talent that could be made, and this actress must be Fengxian!

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and the people in the village have gradually forgotten about this incident. At this time, someone in the town spread the news that the famous troupe became even more famous and came to the town again.

The performance was performed, and the battle was so great that even the big shots in the army came to listen to the performance.

But it doesn’t matter. What’s the point? The point is, who is the leading actor in the troupe’s most popular play, “Feng Qiu Huang”? It’s Li Fengxian from the drunkard Li family!!

Li Fengxian returned to her hometown in great splendor. Her demeanor and temperament were indeed different from those who had stayed in the city.

Drunk Li's life improved, and his two sons later found a job in the town.

Who told people to have a good daughter? When talking about Li Fengxian, no one in the village would not say a word. With this momentum, she will become a famous actor throughout the country.

For a time, Drunk Li was indistinguishable.

And this Li Fengxian is not a heartless person. Remembering the old feelings of being taken care of by the villagers when he was a child, he persuaded the troupe owner to perform a play for the villagers for free. Of course, "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" is indispensable.

》.

Li Fengxian's appearance is beautiful, she is as graceful as a weak willow supporting the wind, and her singing voice is even more precise and round, with lingering notes at the end. I'm afraid even Zhuo Wenjun could not be more beautiful than her even in his lifetime.

What's even more amazing is that the person who sang duet with Li Fengxian was handsome in appearance, handsome and handsome, and his singing voice was also extremely outstanding, as if the talented Sima Xiangru was reincarnated.

These two people are simply the best portrayal of talent and beauty on stage.

Even a single movement or a look in each other's eyes is full of affection, and it simply demonstrates the essence of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"!

The owner of this theater troupe was proud of himself and said that Li Fengxian and the singers were all his talents. At that time, the famous actors in the theater troupe were leaving and looking for better development, so he picked them out of desperation.

These two people don't want to be better than others.

What made the troupe owner even more happy was that both the young and female singers said they would never leave his troupe for the rest of their lives.

This free opera for the villagers caused a sensation in the village. The wealthy families in the area went to the matchmaker to propose marriage to the drunkard Li. Although the actor's status was indeed not high, he was a famous actor and had seen big names.

In this world, a country squire is more than enough.

Unexpectedly, all the matchmakers came back disappointed, and Li Fengxian refused everyone's marriage proposals.

Drunk Li has no choice. After all, his current glorious life is brought about by his daughter, and he cannot be the master of his daughter's marriage.

People in the village are talking a lot about what kind of man is Xiao Fengxian (Li Fengxian's stage name) looking for? She doesn't like the sons of wealthy families in this village, and she doesn't even like the sons of squire?

People thought that Li Fengxian wanted to find a city man. Maybe he wanted to find an officer? Or maybe he wanted to sing in Peking in the future? Who knows?

As time goes by, people forget about this matter. The sun rises and sets, and the years pass by. In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
