Save the Bachelor of Heaven

As for the little leper, he was tied to the bench and took off his pants, exposing half of his buttocks.

Master Guan picked up the wooden knife used for singing and slapped him on the buttocks. While beating him, he scolded him, "I asked you to run, I asked you to run, and you still ran. How many times did you beat him?" If you still have no memory, I will simply beat you to death..."

Although the wooden knife was cut from wood and was not heavy, Master Guan hated the little scoundrel for running away again and again, especially today when he ran away while the rooftop was on the ground and almost smashed the signboard of Xi Luck College.

Therefore, every stroke was done with full strength. After a while, the little leper's buttocks swelled up to a huge height. He grinned in pain and cried for his father and mother. Tears as big as peas fell like rain.

When Xiang Nan saw this, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. He didn't plan to stay in this troupe anymore.

He was not afraid at all of suffering, being tired, and being beaten. With his skill, let alone Master Guan's wooden sword, even with the sword that blows hair and makes quick decisions, he can't even think of hurting him in the slightest.

The reason was that the feudal, backward, ignorant, and conservative system of the theater troupe made it difficult for him, who was used to freedom, to adapt.

Everything in the theater troupe is done with care.

For example, when serving a meal, you have to ask the master, "Master, would you like more food?" but not, "Master, do you want food?" If you ask this, you will be beaten immediately, "You are the one asking for food!"

More importantly, it is an extreme distortion of human nature.

Not to mention the brothers and sisters were beaten every day, no child in the old society was not beaten. However, Xiaodouzi was originally a boy, but the troupe forced him into a female role, which caused him to develop gender cognitive impairment.

And even though he knew who Eunuch Zhang was, he watched Xiaodouzi being taken away and played with by Eunuch Zhang. It can be seen that no matter how many heroes are performed on the stage, there is still nothing but a mess in the heart.

Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't want to find a place in a theater troupe. Anyway, with his ability, he would be able to go to the end of the world without worrying about having a job, so why stay in this rotten sauce vat.

…

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Master Wang walked over and opened the door, only to see a beautiful woman walking in with a child.

Seeing Master Guan, he immediately smiled charmingly and was blessed.

The child was wearing a felt hat and black clothes, with his hands in cotton tubes. His face was covered with a piece of gauze, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly, but his eyebrows were slender and his eyes were bright. At a glance, it was obvious that he was a handsome child.

Xiang Nan knew that he was Xiaodouzi, who later became Cheng Dieyi.

Because I was obsessed with the drama, I really thought that I was a girl, and I fell in love with my senior brother Xiao Shitou'er. I fantasized about it and wanted to partner with him and sing operas for the rest of my life.

It wasn't until the end that I suddenly woke up and realized that I had been possessed by a demon my whole life, and could not distinguish between drama and reality. Treat the drama as reality and reality as a drama.

It can be said that he dedicated his life to the drama and could not live without going crazy. It can also be said that he was harmed by the drama and could not distinguish between people and dramas, so that he was stunned for a lifetime.

The saddest thing was that after waking up from the dream, he had no way to go.

It was impossible to continue singing. Since he knew the opera was fake, how could he continue singing? But what could he do without singing? He has no relatives or friends in this world, and has experienced so many storms. Every day from now on will be torture.

So he chose to draw his sword and kill himself, fulfilling his own destiny.

Just like the movie "Shutter Island", the patient played by DiCaprio, after his mental illness was treated, because he could not accept the cruel reality that his three children drowned and he killed his wife, he chose to continue acting as a madman and underwent a lobotomy. Operation.

…

Just as Xiang Nan was thinking about it, Master Guan had already led the woman and the child into the house.

Master Guan took off the mask on the child's face, took a look at his little face, and couldn't help but feel happy.

There is a saying in Liyuan Xing that goes, "A thousand lives are easy to obtain, but once is hard to find."

Because all the people who sang Peking Opera at that time were men, there was no shortage of young students. But to sing the female role well, not only the body and voice must be beautiful, but also the appearance must be beautiful. So you have to look delicate and have a slender figure, so that you look beautiful and like a diva.

Otherwise, if he looks like Li Kui, he is tall and thick, and he doesn't look like a woman when he dresses on stage, he will easily shock the audience.

There are more than a dozen boys in Xifucheng, most of them have crooked melons and cracked dates, like Little Shitou'er, who can be considered to have regular facial features. But Xiao Shitou'er has a big frame and a huge face, so he is suitable for playing a martial arts student, but not suitable for playing a Huadan.

But what is missing is a child who can sing the leading role, and what is missing is a child who can sing the leading role, and this child happens to be pretty, even no worse than a little girl.

So Master Guan fell in love at first sight. I quickly pinched his body again. Yes, he had a slender frame and was a leading actor.

But when he pulled his hand out of the cotton cover, Master Guan was stunned again, and then looked disappointed.

Because this kid has a good face and figure, but there is only one flaw that prevents him from singing. That means this child is a six-fingered child.

Singing opera pays attention to "hands, eyes, body, method and steps", and the hands come first. A six-fingered child stretched out on the stage, and the audience was frightened.

"This kid of yours has no life left in the theater, so you should take him back." Master Guan said with a stern face, "Just think, his appearance will scare away all the theatergoers under the stage. "

"It's not that I can't support him, it's because the boy is too old to support him, so he came to you. You have to accept him at least." The woman cried after hearing this.

She was a girl from a brothel, but she accidentally got pregnant and gave birth to him. She has been raising her as a girl since she was a child, but as the child grows up day by day, it becomes too difficult to pretend to be a girl, so she has to give it away.

As for Sister Yao's child, it would be inappropriate to send her anywhere. At that time, even in trades such as carpentry, blacksmith, and color maker, accepting apprentices depended on family background. As long as they were from a good family with a clean background, children like Xiaodouzi were not accepted.

So he could only be sent to a theater troupe to learn opera. After all, the cousin is ruthless and the actor is unrighteous. The two professions go hand in hand. When a crow alights on a pig, no one should blame anyone.

You must know that at that time, there was a kind of courtroom where male actors would accompany guests with wine.

Little Shitou'er and Xiao Douzi were called to sing in the Zhang Mansion. After the performance, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion found Master Guan and told him to act according to the rules. It means that the actors at that time had to accompany the master of the family after singing.

"As long as you are willing to accept him, you can do whatever you want~" The woman wiped her tears, looked at Master Guan, and bowed Yingying, "Don't dislike us."

"Don't mention it. They are all low-ranking people. Who can despise whom?" Seeing this, Master Guan quickly raised his hand and said, "If his ancestor doesn't reward him with food, then no one can do anything about it."

After hearing what he said, the woman was in despair when she suddenly heard a shout from outside the courtyard, "Come sharpen your scissors and chop your kitchen knives~"

The woman suddenly went crazy, dragging the child and rushing out of the yard. Then she heard a shrill scream outside the yard, which startled the children who were doing handstand exercises.
