I was on the train for a long time and night, and then arrived in Shaoxing in the afternoon.

As soon as the car door opened, Gu Bei, who was squeezed to the front, jumped down first, breathing fresh air again. Gu Bei instantly felt a sense of rebirth. If he stayed inside for a while, he would be afraid he would be

The smell was soaked.

"Director Yang! Take your time!"

Without having time to take a few more breaths, Gu Bei quickly reached out to support Yang Jie. The old lady squeezed it down swayingly. As soon as she touched the ground, she felt her legs weak and she staggered and almost fell down.

"I'm old, old."

Yang Jie couldn't help but laugh at herself. If it were in the past, it wouldn't be possible, but this trip was so hard that her body seemed to be falling apart.

"You don't have the ability to be old, but now you know!"

Wang Chongqiu got out of the car, and said with a smile while moving his hands and feet.

It means that when you are old, you must impress the elderly, and don’t treat yourself as a little girl or show off your strength.

It's just that the truth is... it's not worthy of being liked.

Yang Jie gave her husband a blank look, followed Gu Bei to count the luggage, and confirmed that it had not been left behind, and then hung it back on Gu Bei's body one by one.

"Let's go! Teacher Zhang said to come to the station to pick us up."

It was already dark now, and the three of them staggered out of the station.

The most important thing at this moment is not to find a monkey, but to find a place to have a good sleep.

These days, there is no safe anywhere, and I have a lot of luggage. Last night, Gu Bei and Wang Chongqiu took a shift at night. No one was sleeping well, and Yang Jie was not much better either.

One night, the children cried, the adults made a fuss, and there was a group of people who played cards all night, so there was no peace for a moment.

What I can’t stand is that there are a group of energetic young people in the same carriage. In the middle of the night, they recite modern poems and sing.

The three of them wandered around the square for more than ten minutes and finally found someone.

"Where are there, there!"

Yang Jie found her target, but ignored the other two people and quickly walked forward.

Gu Bei and Wang Chongqiu quickly carried their luggage and followed behind. Only when they came in front of them did they see clearly the person coming, one old and one young, the old didn't know each other, but the young man was very happy in his previous life.

He has a thin figure and is fair and clean. When looking at people, his eyes are a little shy.

Not like a monkey at all.

As for the old man, it was Liu Lingtong, the Southern Monkey King they were visiting this time.

He smiled and said hello: "Director Yang, you're so tired!"

After saying that, he pointed to the young man next to him.

"This is my son Jinlai."

"Oh! Hello, comrade, hello."

Yang Jie glanced at Zhang Jinlai, but didn't care too much, and just thought it was like he was following the pickup station to pick up his luggage.

"Director Yang, it's getting late. Let's go to the guesthouse first and wait until it's settled, let's talk more."

Teacher Zhang said this to Liulingtong and Teacher Zhang. It can be said that the three of them were heartbroken. They were slammed all the way, and even if they sat there, their bodies would have been stiff.

What I want most now is to find a place to lie down for a while, take a comfortable bath, and then have a nap.

But before that, I still have to work hard and go there with my legs.

This place is not as good as the capital. There are no taxis, and even if there are, ordinary citizens can't afford to sit there.

Rental companies in Beijing usually travel long distances to pick up foreign guests. Anyone who can do this job must be a party member, an outstanding young man, and even a lot of high-ranking children and brothers, who have extremely high incomes and can also meet beautiful girls.

The Zhang and his son pushed the bicycles in front of them, walking steadily, and Gu Bei and the others had to trot all the way to keep up.

It’s not a shame that he plays monkeys, but he is wearing somersaults under his feet.

The guesthouse is not close to the station. Not to mention the two elderly people in their fifties, Yang Jie and Wang Chongqiu, even the young man in Gu Bei who is not yet twenty, is exhausted, with his legs as if he was filled with lead.

It's hard to move one step.

"No room?"

The guesthouse staff showed a poker face and didn't even look at the introduction letter Gu Bei handed over, so they just threw out three words.

This was really a bolt from the blue. I walked all the way from the train station for nearly half an hour, and finally people said there was no room.

"Comrade, we came here from the capital for a business trip. You see, it's dark, and at least we can make a room, so we can do it for a night."

Gu Bei wanted to discuss with him, but he ignored him.

"What are the things that come from the capital? If you don't have a house, you won't have a house."

After saying that, he closed the small window and blocked Gu Bei's remaining words outside.

How to do this?

Gu Bei could only turn his head to look at the Zhang father and son.

Now it’s different from the future. In a few years, various privately-run small hotels will begin to emerge.

More than ten years later, I didn’t even have to worry about finding a hotel, and I stopped at the railway station square, putting the big words “I am an outsider” on my face, and my aunt immediately came to ask.

"Do you want a girl?"

But nowadays, when people from other places want to stay, a public guesthouse is the only choice.

"Forget it, Director Yang, if you three don't dislike it, just live in our house."

Teacher Zhang spoke up on his own initiative.

Yang Jie was still hesitant: "Teacher Zhang, I won't bother you anymore. Let's think of other solutions."

"No trouble, no trouble. Besides, it's dark this day. Where can you find a place to live? Come with me. Our house is spacious and can live in a spacious place."

As he spoke, Teacher Zhang had to take the initiative to help Gu Bei carry his luggage.

How could Gu Bei let others do it? He quickly refused.

Yang Jie hesitated for a while and saw that Teacher Zhang was not polite. In addition, it was getting dark, even if she went to another guesthouse, she would probably not be able to arrive in a while.

"Then... OK, Teacher Zhang, I'm going to cause trouble for you."

On the way to Teacher Zhang's house, Yang Jie did not insist anymore. Zhang Jinlai gave up a bicycle and was carried by Wang Chongqiu, and two young men, Gu Bei and Zhang Jinlai, followed behind.

Several times, Gu Bei wanted to say a few words to his future sixth brother. It is rare for a hairless monkey to be seen, but they have no intention of talking at all. Occasionally, when Gu Bei's eyes turned red, he quickly accelerated his pace.

.

Hey!

You are not a big girl, so why are you embarrassed!

The Zhang family lives in an ancestral home handed down by the older generation. It has a wooden mortise and tenon structure and a Jiangnan style.

The three of them settled down and were invited out to have supper together.

Yang Jie took a breath and didn't have time to rest at this moment, so she pulled Teacher Zhang to talk about the purpose of the trip.

Gu Bei could only accompany him, and had to take out his notebook and make records at any time.

On the way here, Yang Jie was still a little nervous, afraid that Teacher Zhang would stick to the old rules on the opera stage, just like Mr. Li Wanchun.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhang fully agreed with some of the views she put forward, including the idea of ​​the character's appearance in the Journey to the West story.

After reaching an agreement on character design, the topic afterwards became much easier. The two of them then talked about the growth process of Sun Wukong from the birth of a stone monkey to becoming a Buddha. Teacher Zhang put forward his own opinions in a timely manner.

How to think it should behave.

Speaking of excitement, the old man stood up and danced and performed the soft and tilted little monkey's appearance in his newborn; the majestic and fearless look when he made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace; the smile on his face in front of his master

Various expressions such as appearance, as well as the monkey's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Gu Bei looked around and couldn't help but think: It's really good that it's the Southern Monkey King, all these moves are real kung fu.

Yang Jie was also very satisfied, but when she was excited, she couldn't help but feel regretful and said, "What a pity, if you were 30 years younger, Sun Wukong would be yours."

Teacher Zhang returned to his seat, pointed at Zhang Jinlai who had been beside him with a smile and said, "He is my son!"

After hearing this, Gu Bei looked at Zhang Jinlai, and saw that he still looked down and indifferent, as if he was not talking about him.

Yang Jie obviously cared about what Teacher Zhang said, and then asked in her own way: "Have your apprentice performed well? When will you go to your theater troupe to see those students?"

After saying this, Teacher Zhang seemed a little disappointed and kept saying, "Yes, yes! Not busy, haha! Not busy."

People said "not busy", and Yang Jie couldn't continue urging her. She chatted with Teacher Zhang again. As she talked, she raised her hand and pointed to the photo on the wall: "How old is this child who plays a little monkey now?

”

Gu Bei just saw the photo, a kind old man smiling, holding a child dressed as a little monkey.

Seeing the old man, Gu Bei immediately felt awe.

That is the idol of the people of the whole country.

Teacher Zhang's face showed a hint of sadness and replied: "He is my son, Zhang Jinxing!"
