Daming King of Punishment

Page 641

To say that in this ancient time, there was really nothing to do, but watching operas became the main pastime.

When Bai Zhuo heard about the shadow puppetry, he immediately jumped up.

"Really?" He asked Song Wuya with certainty while putting on his shoes. "I've never seen a shadow play before, and I don't know what it looks like!"

"It's still a lie, why am I lying to you if I have nothing to do?" Song Wuya said angrily, then left Bai Zhuo behind and went to find Situ Wen and Xiaohuan.

After telling the two of them about this, the two of them also seemed very excited.

When a few people left the inn and came to the street, they saw the information of the shadow puppet troupe posted in many places on the street.

"Brother Wu Ya, have you ever seen a shadow play?" Bai Zhuo asked Song Wuya curiously.

He has really seen this thing, but not in a real way, but on TV before.Speaking of which, this thing has been around for some years, but because of the updating of information, not many people like it.On the contrary, in the ancient times when there was nothing, these people yearned for these things very much.

In a flash, they wandered the streets for a long time, seeing the sky gradually darken, they didn't know how long this shadow puppet show could last, so they decided to find a place to eat something first.If you don't get hungry while watching shadow puppetry, you still have to go hungry.Maybe, when they seem to be late for the shadow puppet show and then go to eat, the sellers will be gone.

When they came to a small restaurant, Song Wuya and the others sat down in the restaurant and asked the waiter to order.

"Little brother."

As soon as I yelled here, the waiter from the shop over there immediately came.

"What would you like to eat?" the shop waiter asked a few people.

They didn't bother to be more lazy, and said directly: "Just come here with a few good dishes that you are good at."

"Okay!" The waiter in the shop responded, but before leaving, he couldn't help but ask. "Looking at a few guest officials, but you are also waiting for dinner to go to the shadow puppet show?"

"That's right, I'm going to see the shadow puppet show, so I'm in a hurry to eat." Bai Zhuo said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said with a smirk: "It seems that the second brother is also impressed by the shadow puppet show." I'm interested. But seeing how busy you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it today."

"My lord, you're joking. How can we have the time to see that? Even if we have the time, it's not a shame that we don't have any money!" The waiter smiled helplessly.

After joking around, the waiter went to get busy.

They waited for the food to be served here, and the few of them chatted again.

"Brother Wu Ya, what do you think this shadow play is like?" Bai Zhuo asked Song Wuya about the shadow play very curiously.

"That's right! We've never seen each other before!" Xiaohuan also said aside.

Song Wuya smiled slightly, and was about to explain.Situ Wen next to him smiled and said: "Bai Zhuo, you still ask him. What can he know? He has been with me since childhood. I have never seen him. Where has he seen?"

These words made Song Wuya lose face a little.Originally, he thought that this thing was not a rare thing, but after thinking about it, this thing originated from the Han Dynasty.It is because the talented and generous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty missed his concubine, Mrs. Li, that this shadow puppetry came about.

This thing was later introduced to the people, and it was also popular in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei. It is normal to have never seen it in the southern boundary.

Can't let Situ Wen underestimate him, Song Wuya immediately said: "This shadow play is also called shadow play and other shadow play. It originated from the talented and powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, because his beloved concubine Mrs. Li was dyed He died of a serious illness. One of his ministers happened to see people playing with dolls in the folk, and the shadows cast on the ground were lifelike, so he came up with a plan. Taking Mrs. Li as the shape, he made a doll, with two It is propped up by a wooden stick, behind a piece of white cloth, the light is projected on it, and it dances lightly, so it comes."

Chapter 7 and Eight of Shadow Puppetry

?7 chapters and eight shadow puppetry

"Hey! Let me just say, there is nothing in this world that Brother Wu Ya doesn't know!" Bai Zhuo said with a smile immediately.

Long before, Bai Zhuo knew a lot of things from Song Wuya, so that he developed the habit of asking Song Wuya about anything he didn't understand.

After hearing Song Wuya's explanation, Situ Wen was also surprised.

She looked at Song Wuya very puzzled and asked: "Wuya, how do you know this? Don't say that you have read it, even from books, you probably wouldn't know this. You used to not How do you know this without knowledge?"

Suddenly being asked such a sentence by Situ Wen, Song Wuya was shocked.Originally, he knew about this matter, but he forgot about it.Now that his temperament has changed drastically, there is an explanation.After all, after going through life and death catastrophe like before, it will naturally inspire a person.

But in any case, it is impossible to increase the knowledge and experience this person has accumulated before.

Even in this split second, Song Wuya was a little worried, whether Situ Wen would have questioned his identity.

However, in the blink of an eye, Song Wuya also thought of an excuse to prevaricate.

"Look at what you said! Wen'er, don't underestimate me. You can ask Brother Bai, I have read a lot since I came out of Songjiang! Naturally, I know a lot. In addition, I was originally Smart, you know a lot of things, that's normal. I didn't read this shadow play from a book, that's what I used to tell me about it. You know, they have too many people here, so naturally There are those from the north, they have really seen this shadow play."

"I was just asking you about the shadow puppet show, but you have explained so much, which makes me feel guilty!" Situ Wen looked at Song Wuya with strange eyes and muttered.

Hearing this, Song Wuya was taken aback again. He was indeed a little impatient just now. In order to make Situ Wen believe in him, he made up for some loopholes that might have existed in the past.Not only did it not work, but it seemed that Situ Wen doubted him even more.

However, looking at Situ Wen's appearance, he didn't seem to be particularly suspicious of him, Song Wuya simply smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of your paranoia, thinking that I have done something to sorry you again!"

"Hmph! It's good that you know this. If one day I find out that you lied to me again, I won't forgive you." Situ Wen said while looking at Song Wuya resentfully.

Hearing these words, Song Wuya secretly heaved a sigh of relief, at least the crisis was temporarily resolved by him.

"That can't, absolutely not!" Song Wuya said hastily, but he couldn't argue with Situ Wen at this moment, if he refuted a sentence or two and said something ambiguous, it would be troublesome.

Seeing the two of them flirting, Bai Zhuo's expression immediately became sour, and after glancing at Xiaohuan quietly, he smiled slightly.

"I'm talking about you two, let's talk about the shadow puppet, and don't talk about the things in your two families."

When he said this, Situ Wen gave him a blank look, didn't say anything, and ignored them.

Song Wuya smiled at the side: "Brother Bai, don't get meddled, the food is coming soon, let's eat quickly so we can go see the shadow puppet."

Just as he was saying this, the second brother over there yelled and brought their food over.Several people immediately ate their meals, and seeing that the time was almost up, they walked towards the east of the city.

Soon, a few people came under the city wall, and it turned out that the troupe had already been set up there.They don't know what's going on inside, but the troupe has surrounded the place with cloth.The situation inside was not clear, and there was a gatekeeper over there, yelling at people, and beckoning them to buy tickets to enter.

Anyway, they came to see it, Song Wuya squeezed into the crowd, bought four tickets, and entered inside smoothly.

After entering, Song Wuya was a little surprised.There is already a vast area here, so it can be seen that this shadow play is considered a rare thing here.People kowtowed melon seeds one by one, talking about shadow puppetry, and some people couldn't bear to yell at the people inside to hurry up and start.

Not only that, but there are also stools placed here.Song Wuya thought to himself, when he watched them get out their outfits at the inn today, he didn't see such a big scene.What's more, looking at the way they walked through the main entrance of the inn, it is clear that this group probably doesn't even have a carriage, so how can they have everything they want here!

Although curious, Song Wuya didn't think too much about it.But he thought to himself, it's not dark yet, how did the shadow puppetry start.

He was not talking fast, after waiting for such a short half an hour, the last ray of light left in the evening was swallowed up by the western sky.

The sky suddenly darkened, and all the lights and candles in the venue were lit up at once.Just looking at the stage, behind a white curtain, the lights suddenly turned on, and watched several figures sway behind it.They held some instruments in their hands and were obviously looking for a place to sit down.

Amid the yelling of the people, the musicians sat down.

When the announcer came out and announced the song, the shadow puppetry was considered to have begun.

Everyone stared at it with wide eyes. On the white screen, a colorful villain rode a tall horse, and jumped out from the side of the screen.

"Wu Ya, this is really interesting." Situ Wen immediately said excitedly as she patted Song Wuya's hand after seeing this first glance.

Song Wuya nodded: "It's interesting."

He is not interested in this, the reason why he watched this is nothing more than gaining insight.Speaking of it, he didn't understand what these people were performing at all, nor did he know what the libretto was.
