Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 1486 The Phantom of the Theatre Company (plus more)
What I saw was very real. What the hell was that? Was it Lori? I broke Li Mazi's confinement and quickly chased him.
It was a person, not Lori.
There are several beggar-like people living in an empty room who are not less surprised than me and who curl up worried and look at me with alarm.
They have nowhere to go, and this empty house is just about ready to set foot. I saw them scared, and I quickly explained, “I'm not here to drive you away. I'm here to find someone. Have you seen a young doll come here? ”
Listen to me, an younger girl pointed in one direction and said, "I went to the bathroom this morning and saw a man wearing a mask and going to the stage, wondering if it was the man you were talking about! ”
In a mask? That must be Lori.
I thanked her and turned around and was about to leave, but I saw a few dry, hard buns in front of them, and I didn't know how long they had been there, and there was green hair on them. I sighed softly, pulling out my wallet from Li Mazi's pocket and putting all the thousands of dollars in cash on a dusty floor: "Take the money and buy something to eat. Don't eat this spoiled food, you'll get sick. ”
A few beggars look at me, I look at you, nobody dares come up to get the money. I had to pull Li Mazi away, and Li Mazi asked me, “Brother, you learn to do good things Lei Feng, brothers don't dare to say anything, but why take my money? ”
“Aren't you a billionaire? I've been your driver for a couple of days. Why don't you pay me?” I mocked.
On the instructions of the beggar little girl, we came to the stage on the second floor, a big house filled with ruined seats. At the bottom is a spacious stage full of dust and spider webs. Right in the center of the stage is a figure backwards, though far apart, and at first glance I recognized that it was Lori.
Li Mazi was frightened and rushed to the past. He sniffed first. He saw that Lori was sleepy but still breathing. Li Mazi relieved and shook Lori's shoulder: “Lori, wake up. Can you hear me? ”
Lori still hasn't reacted at all.
I reached out and removed the mask from Lori's face and gave Li Mazi a look: “This is no place to talk, let's go out first. ”
Li Mazi picked up Lori, and the three of us went out the door and went to the store we had been asking about. Lori woke up, I bought some water and gave her a sip, Lori looked at me with a crackling headache and looked at the surrounding environment and asked inexplicably: "What is this place? Why am I here? ”
“Don't you remember?” Li Mazi asked worried.
Lori shook her head: “My last memory was of sorting out the data collected during the day in the study... my head hurts...” She rubbed her temple and suddenly saw the mask in my hand: "Oh, isn't that the mask? Is it it it again? ”
I softly comforted her: "Don't worry, it's going to be okay. ”
The shop owner's wife was a gossip lover. She watched for half a day. At this time, she came over and asked carefully: “What do you do? ”
Li Mazi was upset and impatient at the moment. “What's it got to do with you? ”
Who knows? The boss has a bigger voice than him. “What's the yell? I'm watching you sneak into this shithole house and hug another girl out and care. What the hell are you doing? You're not a trafficker, are you? Show me your ID or I'll call the police! ”
I helplessly turned a white eye and glanced at Li Mazi, stopping him from arguing with the boss's wife.
I smiled at the boss's mother: “Nothing, this little girl is my niece, she came back from abroad, she loves Chinese art and culture, she knows that the theatre here was famous, so come see, I didn't think it had been abandoned. ”
“Back from abroad?” The boss' mother's eyes lit up and weighed Lori up and down: “Well, that's a good temperament indeed. I'm telling you, since Lee Monroe's little fox committed suicide, this theater troupe has failed. The new actor is not popular, he can't perform Lee Monroe's mess on stage, and none of the people who came to the show came. ”
I heard her mention Li Monroe's name, some surprised joy asked her: “Sister, do you know Li Monroe? Has your shop been here long? ”
“Isn't it?” The boss's wife was just angry when she mentioned it: “It wasn't my elders. She was a Lee Monroe fan at first. We opened this store because she bought it here deliberately. The first two years of business were still red fire. The theater troupe was over, and we ended up with it. ”
She was saying, a middle-aged man who slept confused came out and said, "Who are you talking to? Can you make me some breakfast? I'm starving. ”
“Starve to death! Our whole family is starving!” The boss scolded with a grunt: “I didn't say I couldn't come here to open a shop. You don't listen to me. How about now? Nobody came to the door for a month, and your dream lover Lee Monroe went to report to King Yan. ”
“Roll the calf!” The boss scolded: “Don't you dare say Li Monroe again, I won't kill you. ”
The boss grunted: “You think of her as a treasure! Do you really think she's innocent of jade? I climbed into a couple's bed. ”
When the boss raised his hand, he wanted to fight and scared the boss's mother to run away.
The boss took a bottle of beer out of the freezer and drank it. He glanced at us with his sleeping eyes. When he suddenly saw the mask in my hand, he opened his eyes and asked: "Where did you get this mask? ”
“Do you recognize it?” I lifted my mask and shook it in front of him.
The boss said, "Of course I do. This is the mask Lee Monroe wore when he starred in" Liang Zhu "! ”
If not, the mask has something to do with Lee Monroe. I saw that the boss seemed to know Lee Monroe very well, so I just sat down and talked to him, and mentioned Lee Monroe. The boss's words became more and more rhetorical: “I am not blowing with you, I am a loyal fan of Lee Monroe, I know everything about her. I wouldn't have opened a shop here for her if I hadn't been fascinated, or to see her at work sooner or later. Not only is she beautiful, she has a good personality, she is particularly happy, she is laughing at everyone, but she is also good at acting, what she looks like, especially Zhu Yingtai in" Liang Zhu ". The sadness of destiny and ultimately the tenacity of martyrdom for love and lover is absolutely stunning. This mask is the mask she wore when she performed...”
