Chapter Twenty-Four: In and Out of the Play


After speaking, she turned around to leave, Qin Yingbao grabbed her hand, "What are you going to do when you go back?"

Just ask someone to add a chair. ” The little guy next to him heard it, and hurriedly moved a chair over to ask for instructions, "Captain, where do you see this chair?"

” Qin Yingbao didn't raise his head, only stared at Xie Xiaoyu's phoenix eyes, "Where else can I put it, of course Xiaoyu is doing it next to me." ” The little guy agreed, and quickly put down the chair, Xie Xiaoyu sat down, his fingers were still entangled with Qin Yingbao, and he didn't separate for half a moment.

Seeing this scene, the guests began to talk one after another: "Before I passed the door, I was already on an equal footing with the eldest lady."

"If you pass the door and have another son and half a daughter, I think the mistress of the school captain's mansion will have to be replaced from now on."

Hongyu heard these words in her ears, and she secretly glanced at Mrs.

Qin sitting next to her, and saw that she straightened her back and looked at the stage expressionlessly, which was in stark contrast to the two fiery figures beside her.

Hong Yu's heart was cold, and tears almost fell from her eyes, but fortunately, with a "bang", the actors walked up to the stage from behind the curtain and smashed everything in the foyer.

The first performance is to flutter the flag, brute cards, holding gongs, hard ghosts, sword dancing and other programs, and then there are acrobatic performances, the gongs on the stage are beating, the drums are beating, the five people are on the stage in turn, wearing hairpins, wearing round-necked robes and belts, and their faces are smeared with oil paint.

The tall man standing on the far edge was wearing a soft scarf with a wide horn on his head, a short shirt, his chest and abdomen exposed, and his breast navel was exposed.

He held a birdcage in his left hand, and there was a small bird in it, and he stretched out his hand to tease the bird, and the bird called a few times, and then teased, and the bird closed its mouth and called again, but the man had to learn a few bird calls, and the little bird flew up and down in the cage, and followed him to call.

Qin Yingbao pushed Xie Xiaoyu with his elbow, "Hey, I met a colleague." ” Xiaoyu ignored him, just stared at the man intently, and after the man finished performing, he also looked at her, looking at it, there were tears in his eyes.

Xie Xiaoyu smiled at him lightly, reached out to hug Qin Yingbao's arm, and put his head lightly on his shoulder, Qin Yingbao's heart moved, and he also leaned over, smelling the fragrance in her neck, and for a while it was like falling into a dream, everything around him seemed to be gone, in this world, only he and her were left, and they were always close together, until they were old and desolate.

Pei Ran stood on the stage holding the birdcage, his eyes were sour and he couldn't open them, but he still couldn't glance away from the pair of people in the audience: Did he worry too much?

Xiaoyu is now wearing gold and silver, and she doesn't know how much better she was than before, in vain he still wanted to save her from the demon cave, but she didn't know that outside was her demon cave.

He smiled dejectedly, and before the vocal music was over, he walked off the stage in silence.

It was late at night, and a cold wind was blowing outside, and although she was holding two stoves in her hands, Mrs.

Qin couldn't help but sneeze.

Xie Xiaoyu was not cold, her hands were held by Qin Yingbao, and her palms were covered with sweat, sticky and slippery.

"Ma'am, I'll go get you a cloak."

Hong Yu asked, Mrs.

Qin nodded, and she got up and walked out of the foyer.

Seeing her figure disappear outside the door curtain, Xie Xiaoyu also broke free with her hand, "It's a little stuffy, I want to go out and take a walk." ” "I'll be with you."

Qin Yingbao just got up, but she gently pressed back.

"No, I'll just walk around, so many guests are here, how can there be any reason for the host to leave."

Qin Yingbao wanted to say something more, Xie Xiaoyu smiled at him coquettishly, "Just for a while, you won't be afraid that I will run away with others."

He was so distracted by this smile that he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.

Sure enough, as she said, in less than half an hour, she came back, took the stove handed over by the maid, and continued to snuggle up next to Qin Yingbao, staring at the stage with him.

The drama on stage was about to end, and Xie Xiaoyu was also a little tired, his eyelids blinked, and he looked drowsy.

"What did you just do, tired like this?"

Qin Yingbao hooked her chin.

Xie Xiaoyu pointed his finger at his heart, "I miss you." ” Mrs.

Qin couldn't stand it anymore, she got up and said, "Hongyu, this girl said to get the cloak, but I don't know where to play, I feel a little cold, so I quit first." ” Qin Yingbao just wanted to answer, but there was another "bang" on the stage, and the play was finally over.

He yawned and glanced lazily at Mrs.

Qin, "Let's go together." ” After greeting the guests, the three of them walked together towards the door, and the maids opened the curtain and walked out with their lamps first, the light of the lanterns illuminating the dark courtyard in a dark yellow.

A gust of wind blew and shook the plum tree facing the gate a few times, and a little girl in the lead rubbed her eyes, and the lantern was raised upward, "What is that?"

” There was a round thing stuck in the branch of the plum tree, dripping and dripping downward, crushing the branch to a creak.

Another gust of wind rushed over, bringing the heavy smell of blood to everyone's noses, and at the same time, the little maid standing in front let go of her hand, the lantern fell to the ground, and the firelight jumped a few times on the ground and went out.

The branch finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore, and it broke off with a "snap", and the thing fell from a high place, rolled on the ground a few times, and stopped right in front of Mrs.

Qin.

Hongyu's eyes rolled upwards, a pair of jet-black eyes stared at her, the whites of her eyes were red and yellow for a while under the reflection of the lights, changing colors back and forth, and they were brilliant.

Mrs.

Qin stood still, she bit her lower lip tightly, grabbed her five fingers tightly, and pulled out a bloody mark on her palm.

Xie Xiaoyu next to him screamed, and his body fell into Qin Yingbao's arms.

Pei Ran sat at the table in a daze, the water next to him turned from hot to cold, he didn't take a sip, his mind was now full of what happened in the Qin family just now: there was a dead person there tonight, she died as a maid, and her body was unloaded into five pieces, each of which was inserted into a different tree, like a meatball pierced by chopsticks.

But even though the scene was so tragic, Qin Yingbao did not report to the official, but gave each member of the troupe a silver ingot, asking them not to tell this matter no matter what, why is this?

Could it be that he is protecting someone?

…… Is it her?

Pei Ran got up from his chair and walked back and forth in the small room, and at the end, he raised his head and recalled once again the scene he saw in the garden tonight: Xie Xiaoyu followed behind the girl named Hongyu, her steps were very light, almost walking on tiptoe, and her eyes were like cats, vigilant and full of murderous intent.
