I, who lived in seclusion for thousands of years, was exposed by yearning

Chapter 407

"Well, I know all those old men, you don't need to be so excited."

Ye Qing looked excited and responded, and at the same time raised his hand and pressed down to signal the other party to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Degang had come into contact with that kid Li Runjie.

He said that when he heard about the Jinshi Quyi Troupe yesterday, he was familiar with it, and now he remembered it immediately.

It is recorded in this collection of Jin City, and this book is also about the past between him and the children of Jin City compiled by him.

"I'm a little excited."

Guo Degang sat down beside him with a smile, and continued to ask:

"Grandpa, I just saw many seniors in the folk art circle in Jin City from the letters in your book of Jin City. It can be seen that you and them are all acquainted. Can you tell us the story between you and them? "

"Sure, let's talk."

Ye Qing nodded and said, after taking two sips of tea from the cup, he recalled it in his mind for a while.

"Speaking of these three people, what they have in common is that their families are equally poor. They learned to sing from Ye Luzi when they were six or seven years old. Among the three of them, the old man I have the most impression of is Run Jie. Tell you about him."

After he finished speaking, he continued:

"About him, the old man, I also listened to him himself. Run Jie is from Jin City. He learned some opera criticism and musical instruments when he was young, but he hadn't learned to be a teacher at that time. The family needed a family. He was 14 years old. When he was young, he went to work as a child laborer to earn money to support his family, and then he was tricked by traitors to work as a laborer in a mine in the eastern province when he was just out of school.

To say that this child was really full of ups and downs when he was a child, everything was just learned, and accidents happened in the end.

It can only be said that the era was too poor.

In order to make a little more money, he was deceived and abducted by those people who cared.

"Speaking of the Eastern Province, old man, let me tell you about the situation there at that time. The Eastern Province was the first to be invaded by those bandits. It was that little bastard Fu Yi who cooperated with those people to occupy it. Manchukuo was established over there, and as a result, I am not yet the fourth class."

"Fourth class?"

Hearing what the old man said, the juniors were very puzzled.

What does the fourth class mean?

They have heard of three, six, nine, but the cooperation between Fu Yi and Kou Tu is planned to be ranked?

"I seem to have heard some people say that people from Eastern Province were divided into several classes at that time."

"It's like this. After those bandits took over, they implemented enslavement education, and that kid is just a puppet."

Ye Qing nodded in recognition of Huang Lei's words, and continued:
"It goes without saying that you should know who the first-class people are. The second-class people are the stick soldiers they lead, the third-class people are those old men, the fourth-class people are the children, and the fifth-class people are the ordinary people. At that time, as long as the people encountered the Koutu on the road, they had to bow their heads and bow to avoid them. Even rice was not allowed to be eaten by the people.

The conditions in the village are like this, not to mention the mining area that needs labor. Runjie's child was deceived by traitors under such circumstances. The conditions in the mining area are extremely poor. If you are slow, you will be beaten with a whip and stick by the supervisor. "

That's why he said that this child is the most miserable of the three, at least the other two have not suffered like Li Runjie.

"Since it's so difficult there, doesn't he want to escape?"

"It's okay to escape. If I don't escape, I'm afraid life would be worse than death. Isn't that how it is played in movies and TV dramas?"

When Yixing heard Peng Yuchang's question, he shook his head in disapproval.

How likely is it that Kou Tu's men can escape?

Didn't they act in the film and television dramas? Even if they escaped, they didn't dare to go home, because those bandits would still arrest laborers in the homes of ordinary people.

Besides escaping, it is even more painful if you escape or fail to escape. If you are caught back, at least you have to shed a layer of skin.

"Yixing is right. At that time, the Eastern Province was almost ruled by Kou Guo. Even if he escaped from the mining area, where could he escape?"

"Then he has been in that mining area until the end of the war?"

"No, it's both lucky and unlucky for the child to come out of there."

"??"

Seeing the incomprehension on the faces of several people, Ye Qing began to speak, "He was injured while digging. The supervisor saw that he couldn't work, so he threw him out of the mining area."

"..."

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard the words.

He was so injured that he couldn't work anymore, those Kou people threw Li Runjie out of the mining area, how did Li Runjie survive?

They finally understood what the old man meant by both being lucky and unlucky.

It is indeed lucky to come out of such a place that eats people, and this bad luck is indeed really bad luck. How can you survive in such a situation?
"Are you wondering how he survived under such circumstances?"

"Yes." Several juniors nodded wildly in response.

"After he was thrown out of the mining area, in order to survive and reunite with his family, he begged for a living on the street. Because he learned folk art when he was a child, he listened to the local people's words about where artists can make money, and begged all the way to the small riverside."

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he continued to several people:
"Xiaoheyan is a place of all kinds. All kinds of artists are there to make money. When he got there, he started to perform. Fortunately, the kid still has a skill. Although his speech is not particularly good, there are still quite a few viewers who support him. , The child’s first performance there on the first day earned him a day’s accommodation and meals.”

So, he still advocates those children who are not very educated.

You may not be able to acquire knowledge, but you must have a skill, at least you can’t starve yourself to death.

"I just read the letter between you and your senior. It mentioned where you met him at that time?"

"At that time, Fu Ren should be picked up to return to the capital, so I just listened."

The pupils in Ye Qing's eyes turned slightly before he replied.

If he remembered correctly, it should be Li Runjie who he met when he brought Fu Ren back to the capital.

"Xiaoheyan was the turning point in the child's life, but his turning point has little to do with me, the old man. At most, I let him perform in another place and stay for a few days. After listening to his performances, I gave him Some suggestions, in the end, we exchanged letters occasionally, only he met once when he returned to Jin City."

"Why do you want to change the place? Where should you change it?"

A few juniors blinked their eyes and couldn't understand.

Those who watched the show had already identified the place, so how would the regular customers of the show who changed places know?

With fewer people watching this, less money will be made, right?
"You give him advice?"

Guo Degang's concerns were different from those of the juniors, and he had slight doubts in his eyes.

From what the old man said, the old man is quite knowledgeable about Quyi culture.

"Old man, I have lived for such a long time anyway, how can you not understand this folk art, after all, old man, I also used this to set up a stall and sell art."

Ye Qing rolled his eyes at Guo Degang's question.

What does this kid mean, look down on him?Do you think he is the only one who can put on a show? ?
After he finished answering, he had to answer the other children without paying attention to the other party:
"The reason why he was asked to change the land is because I can tell from his face that his fate will change from Xiaoheyan, and the person who helped him change is not at the place where he set up his stall on the first day."

He knows the rules of setting up a stall.

If you make some improvements on the first day and replace them, you will definitely lose customers.

But the immediate interests are only the existing interests, and we still have to take a long-term view.

What he told that child will definitely be of great help to Li Runjie's future.
