Chapter 53 Ghosts in the Mirror Part 1
This was naturally what Li Qing wanted, so she immediately went back and resigned. Then, she registered a real estate agency named after herself. The first batch of properties in her hands was Lin Jinghao's Jinrong Building, and she proposed to sell it
Each room in the building is divided into small single rooms and turned into a school district apartment. In this way, the rent received will increase exponentially.
Li Jinghao agreed to her suggestion and used the first year's rent as funds for renovation of the house.
Lin Jinghao actually doesn't care about the rent, he just wants the people he knows to live better than him. What's more, this is the biological sister of the 'wife' he once loved.
Time passed quickly. After everything was ready, Lin Jinghao's vacation was almost half used. He started to pack his things and prepared to go back to Qingshan Town to work.
When Li Qing heard that Lin Jinghao was leaving, she showed great reluctance. Although she knew that Lin Jinghao was an extremely emotionally reserved person, she did not expect that he would take such good care of her, the sister of her former 'wife'.
"Brother Jinghao, don't go back. People go to other places to work because they want to make money. You're not short of money, so why do you have to work so hard!"
Lin Jinghao returned to the place where he had raised himself and spent a quiet and peaceful time. This period was quite happy for him, but when he thought that he had no relatives or friends here, he still lacked someone to keep him.
Reason to come down.
"Yes, Jing Hao, don't always live in the shadow of the past. Isn't everything better now? Just stay with Li Qing and take care of your family business, and you will be able to live in this life.
That's enough." Lin Bo also joined in the persuasion.
"Uncle Lin, I have just been doing this for a few months. You can't ask me to tell others that I won't do it. People have to have a sense of responsibility." Lin Jinghao didn't know what to say, so he could only find it casually.
a reason.
"Yes, a man has a home all over the world. Let your sister and your uncle take care of this place. If you want to come back anytime, give your uncle a call." Uncle Lin was grateful to Lin Jinghao's family. What's more, he
They also hope that their biggest boss, Lin Jinrong, will return to his hometown to invest one day.
"By the way, do you remember that when you were a child, you loved to pester your uncle to take you to the Huangmei Opera? Your uncle specially invited a theater troupe for you to perform "The Match of Heaven" in the small theater tomorrow night.
You say goodbye. From now on, no matter where you go, remember to always visit your hometown."
"Is the small theater still there?" Speaking of the small theater, it was Lin Jinghao's favorite place when he was a child. He called Li Xia every day after school, and then sneaked into the small theater secretly. At that time, it was rare for a movie to be shown in the village, so basically
Some folks who love opera gathered here to listen to the singing of Huangmei Opera. Lin Jinghao's favorite was Dong Yong in "The Fairy's Match", while Li Xia's favorite was The Seven Fairies. It was the place where they were most carefree and released their nature.
"Originally it was going to be demolished, but later the villagers said it would be used as a playground for their children. If everyone had something to do, they would hold a conference or something, so they kept it."
"Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow night." Lin Jinghao is a conservative person. This time when he came back to this hometown in his memory, he basically couldn't see anything in his memory. Now, in Lin Jinghao's eyes, he can see
He is already very interested in anything that is left over from the past.
"Brother Jinghao, I will go with you tomorrow." At that time, Lin Jinghao remembered that Li Qing was still a kid who didn't understand anything.
The next day, before it got dark, Lin Jinghao relied on his memory and found the place he often went to when he was a child, the small outdoor theater behind a high-rise building.
It is said to be a small theater, but it is actually a large open-air courtyard, and a large stage is built to protect it from wind and rain. It can be seen that the courtyard has been repaired, and the red brick walls have been painted with white paint.
, the original iron fence gate of the yard was also changed to an aluminum alloy gate.
Opening the door, the yard is still empty, but the original yellow mud field has been covered with green lawn. This is a children's amusement park. Directly in front of the stage, there are several rows of wooden benches.
, on the side and back of the yard, there are fitness equipment for the benefit of the people. The original earthen stage has been covered with white cement, which looks much higher grade. The floor of the stage is also decorated with khaki.
The wooden floor was beautiful. However, it seemed that it had lost some of its original quality and color due to exposure to wind, rain, and scorching sun.
On the back right side of the stage, there are seven stone steps leading into the backstage dressing room. The voice of actors practicing their voices can be heard faintly from behind. This voice is so familiar. It is exactly the classic aria in "A Match Made in Heaven", "The husband and wife both take care of the house".
'.
"Brother Jinghao, can you also sing?" Li Qing couldn't help but ask when he heard Lin Jinghao humming along with him. With the development of society, the space left for traditional opera is getting smaller and smaller.
Young people rarely go to theaters to listen to plays anymore, not to mention that this is just one of many local plays.
However, in Lin Jinghao's memory, the unique singing style of Huangmei Opera will always be the best memory of his childhood.
"Jinghao, you were here early." While Lin Jinghao was listening quietly, Uncle Lin's voice came from behind.
"Yes, I'm early." When he turned around, Uncle Lin came over with a thermos cup in his hand and a group of 'elderly people'.
"Today's young people only like to sing, dance and watch movies. How can they understand the fun of listening to operas." Uncle Lin looked at Lin Jinghao and smiled. It was obvious that he actually had his own "selfish" motives for inviting the theater troupe.
"It's okay, I quite like it." Lin Jinghao replied with a smile.
"It's good if you like it. I remember that you should like it. It's a pity that you are not that little girl Li Xia now. If you still..." As soon as Lin Bo talked about the past, he couldn't stop until he saw Li Xia.
Qing stared at him and then stopped talking.
"Li Qing, please don't doze off later." Lin Jinghao looked at Li Qing and said with a joking smile when he saw that the villagers had gone to find their seats.
"You just dozed off." Li Qing pouted and whispered unconvinced.
"Okay, hurry up and find a seat." In the middle seat of the first row at the front, the old people automatically reserved three seats for them. Uncle Lin sat down politely. Lin Jinghao looked around and saw the old people.
Everyone is looking at him.
"Sit down, ignore them. They all grew up together with your father. You don't know them, but they all know you." Uncle Lin pulled Lin Jinghao's clothes, and Lin Jinghao and Li Qing finally sat down.
The sky has darkened and the lights on the stage have turned on. It seems
The show is about to begin.
"Ah!" The chattering crowd suddenly became quiet, and a woman's frightened scream suddenly came from the back of the stage.
With his professional sensitivity, Lin Jinghao stood up with a loud sound and jumped onto the stage. The old people under the stage were stunned. They all stood up one after another before they could figure out what was going on.
"Uncle Lin, you watch here, I'll go to the back to see what's going on?" Lin Jinghao turned around and explained, and then ran directly to the backstage.
The lights backstage were very dim, and in the long alley, several people in costumes were surrounding the door of the first dressing room, wondering what was going on inside.
"Excuse me, excuse me, I'm the police." Lin Jinghao shouted out of habit. He had already forgotten about himself and was on vacation.
When they heard the police coming, the crowd moved away automatically. The light in the dressing room was obviously much brighter than the corridor outside. On the cold cement floor, there was a woman in costume lying on the ground, and the other was half-made up.
The woman wearing makeup is kneeling on one knee on the ground, pinching her philtrum with her fingers. It can be seen from her dress that the fainted woman is none other than the heroine Seven Fairies in "The Match".
"What's going on?" Lin Jinghao walked into the dressing room. There was no blood on the floor, and there were no scars on the female fairy's body. The interior decoration was very simple, except for two dressing tables and chairs filled with cosmetics, and two walls.
Mirror.
"My sister suddenly fainted." The woman kneeling on the ground raised her head and said.
Lin Jinghao breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to step forward to check. The Seventh Fairy lying on the ground suddenly opened her eyes, looking at a mirror on the wall in front of her with a fearful expression, and tremblingly said to herself: "Then
There is a ghost in that mirror, I saw it, there is a ghost in that mirror."
Looking at the woman's expression, Lin Jinghao's nerves tensed up involuntarily. He turned his head and looked at the mirror on the wall. This was just a mirror that couldn't be simpler. In the mirror, apart from his own figure and the figure of the person behind him,
Can't see anything special at all.
"Sister, didn't I tell you that there are no ghosts in the mirror? If you don't believe it, take a look for yourself."
The woman squatting on the ground pointed at the mirror and said to the terrified woman.
"Yes, Sister Hui, are there no ghosts in the mirror?" The people in the troupe behind him also agreed.
"No, no, I saw it just now. It was Xiao Fu's ghost. He came to find me."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Look again, there's no ghost in the mirror?" The woman squatting on the ground seemed to be about to be driven crazy by the "Seven Fairies".
"Look, he's appeared again." The Seventh Fairy, who had just been helped up, pointed at the mirror in fear and screamed as soon as she stood up.
Lin Jinghao turned around suddenly, and a ghost-like shadow seemed to appear in the mirror. From the outline, it could be seen that this shadow was a man wearing a costume. And shouldn't this costume be Dong Yong's outfit?
