Help!There are monsters in this pawnshop

Chapter 8 The Collapsed Cage

Uncle Hong said that Boss Qiu was originally an orphan.

It was the old troupe master who saw that he looked good, so he brought him back.I have suffered a lot for learning opera.

After coming on stage at the age of 11, he became a blockbuster.

He became popular all over the city of Bengbu, and everyone said that he was talented—it was God who rewarded him with food.

But as Boss Qiu's loyal fan, Uncle Hong is most aware of the stigma and abuse that Boss Qiu has endured over the years.

"When Boss Qiu was 15 years old, he separated from the theater troupe. At that time, he was already an actor, and the old troupe master was greedy and squeezed him out. He couldn't eat well, rest well, and performed desperately. He often went on stage with illness. "Uncle Hong said sadly, "He is a character, if this continues, his voice will be useless!"

Therefore, he separated from the theater troupe, and what he earned in the theater troupe--all of it.

Leave it to the old boss.

Leaving the theater troupe by leaving the house clean.

But later, when the old class leader saw that he was getting better and better by working alone, he still made trouble behind his back, saying how ungrateful he was.

Bearing his infamy, and relying on his own efforts, he made it through step by step.

There was a child who came to learn from him because of his reputation——

Kneeling at the door for a day and a night.

He couldn't bear it, even though he saw that the child had no talent, he admitted it and accepted him as an apprentice.

"It's Sai Qiuyue?" Zhu Xiaozhou was surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a past between Qiu Yuesheng and Sai Qiuyue.

Uncle Hong nodded, but it was clear from his appearance that Qiu Yuesheng accepted this apprentice—it was by no means a good thing.

Sure enough, nothing good happened when this apprentice entered the door.

He is not talented enough, and he refuses to work hard to practice basic skills.

But he hid in his master's box and secretly learned his master's unique skills.Relying on the fact that he is Qiu Yuesheng's only disciple, he steals private jobs outside and ruins his performance—and almost ruins Qiu Yuesheng's brand.

It was Qiuyue Shengqiu's boss who personally came to the door to apologize and took him back.

Otherwise, the shopkeeper will hold him back and just won't let him go.

But he didn't expect that after this incident, instead of awakening and repenting, he would have some bright emotions.

Thinking that he himself is Zhou Yu and Qiu Yuesheng is Zhuge Liang.

He felt that if Qiuyuesheng didn't overwhelm him everywhere, he would definitely be more famous than Qiuyuesheng.

He forced Qiu Yuesheng to give him a chance to take the stage.

However, Qiu Yuesheng thought that his kung fu hadn't been mastered yet, so he was not suitable to be on stage.He clamored to separate the family from his master and start a new stove, and he talked badly about Qiu Yuesheng outside.

Therefore, Qiu Yuesheng was also given the infamy of "jealous talent".

Later, Qiuyuesheng mysteriously disappeared, and he took the name of "Sai Qiuyue" to act on stage.

Zhu Xiaozhou said, "I saw it outside the theater some time ago. It was obviously Sai Qiuyue's performance, but Qiuyuesheng's signboard was still hanging on it. The manager of the theater was even more arrogant."

"Naturally." Uncle Hong sighed, "Those old fellows only miss Boss Qiu, and they only go to see Boss Qiu because of Boss Qiu's name. What's the point of watching him compete with Qiuyue!"

If he didn't hang Qiu Yuesheng's signboard, he might not even be able to sell a single theater ticket.

When Uncle Hong used the excuse of helping her prepare something to eat, he left first, feeling sad alone.Zhu Xiaozhou stood there for a long time unable to speak, she guessed a possibility, but it was too hurtful.

Even if she never believed in humanity.

But I don't want to imagine human nature so badly.

"Are you feeling sorry for him?" Bo Yuan stared at her, as if he saw something incredible.

"I'm sorry for myself." Zhu Xiaozhou said, "If I can't get the money back for this order and delay so much time, I will really lose money and cry to death."

Bai Yuan smiled.

This was the first time he showed a smile in front of Zhu Xiaozhou.

"Just now, before Uncle Hong came in, did you want to say something to me?"

"Oh, that's right." Zhu Xiaozhou almost forgot, "Don't you think Qiu Yuesheng's words are contradictory?"

He said that it was the first time he saw Miss He's family in Xiaonanlou after performing at He's house.

But he also said that he gave Ms. He the belt of her costume—as a token of love.

It's because Ms. He often goes to his plays.

Zhu Xiaozhou is very sure that the belt is very important to him and Miss He.

This proves that behind the two contradictory words, he concealed a truth.

And this truth includes the reason for Boss Qiu's disappearance.

A token of love——

Bai Yuan fell into a daze, remembering something.

"Why, have you had a similar experience? Is that the owner of the hair tie?" Zhu Xiaozhou joked that there might be a twists and turns behind the hair tie.

"I don't remember." Bai Yuan said.

"It's a lie, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Zhu Xiaozhou thinks that he just doesn't want to tell him.

"I really don't remember." Bai Yuan said sadly, not intentionally trying to hide it. "I just remember that I was looking for a hair tie, but I don't remember who the owner of the hair tie is. It seems that she never got the hair tie—"

He thought that as long as he redeemed the hair tie, he could find Ah Zhen in his memory.

Zhu Xiaozhou was dubious. "Then do you remember, who are you? What is the name of the person you are looking for? Where is it now?"

Bai Yuan shook his head.

It's been sealed for so long that he can't remember.

"Just remember that my name is Bai Yuan, the god of the Nine Heavens. The person I'm looking for is called Ah Zhen."

Other than that, there is no impression at all.

"You are, God?" Zhu Xiaozhou smiled, thinking he was making a joke. "If you are really a god, why can't others see you? Then you are the same as Qiu Yuesheng."

Or the God of the Nine Heavens?

"Because my physical body is still sealed. Maybe I can find the hair tie and think of everything, so I can untie it," he said.

More and more outrageous.

Zhu Xiaozhou asked him, "Okay, so where is your body sealed? You tell me, I will help you find it, and I will give you a [-]% discount!"

"I don't remember." I don't remember anything.

He also mistook Zhu Xiaozhou for Ah Zhen, but later found that they were really different.

Ah Zhen is gentle and kind, a considerate woman.

And this Zhu Xiaozhou. He loves money like his life, is reckless, and does things rashly - all shortcomings.

Zhu Xiaozhou didn't take it seriously either.

But Bai Yuan's words reminded her of something.

Ms. He, who left Xiaonanlou with her living soul, is doomed not to wait for her dawn.

Half of her face was burned by the fire, and she looked hideous, but Qiu Yuesheng didn't seem to care at all, holding his beloved girl, sitting by the river and waiting for the sun to rise.

Too far away, Zhu Xiaozhou couldn't hear what they said.

My heart is full of regret and emotion.

Finally, watching helplessly, the moment the sun rose, Miss He disappeared into Qiu Yuesheng's arms.

And this place that trapped her and imprisoned her for a hundred years will also collapse completely.

Back to Qiyundang, it was like a dream.

The bulging purse in her waist reminded her that that dream had really existed.

She'd never felt like she was at this moment—overwhelmed.

A bag of silver dollars seems to be unable to resolve the regret in her heart, which was impossible in the past.

What she missed, she couldn't tell.

But she deeply realized that there was a place in her heart that was empty.

Bo Yuan
When I think of this name, I feel heartache—the kind of pain that makes me unable to breathe.

But when he turned his head, he saw him still standing in the store.

It turned out that he was still there.

The wind chime on the door rang—a sign that a guest had arrived.

"Hello, welcome! Do you want to redeem the pawn?" As usual, she greeted the guests who came to the door, and it seemed to have become a habit engraved in her bones.

But the "person" who came was Qiu Yuesheng.
