Chapter 447
Yu Yingda, his first name, was Autumn Worm, which was given to him by the troupe master.
The master of the troupe said: “Autumn bugs, short life, in the fall of the bugs will not jump. All of us in the troupe have no good fortune, so I gave you this name to bring you some luck, so maybe you’ll be lucky again.”
The words of the troupe master were answered, he was the one who had lived the longest in their troupe.
The troupe is not big, and there are not many good actors. The troupe master’s best girls were all sold to matchmakers and ended up in some dirty place.
He was small and didn’t fetch a good price, so the troupe master kept him.
When the troupe was good, it was in a teahouse, and a few uncles and grandmothers who could play jokes would go up and tell jokes, and when the fortunes were good, they could make a lot of money.
When the luck was good, they could make a lot of money. When the luck was bad, they would be beaten up.
The troupe was beaten, there is no justice to speak, but also can not allow them to distinguish, hold your head and run on the line, run slowly, the equipment will be smashed bare.
When he was a child, he did not understand, only think that the goods are bamboo baskets, bamboo boards, in addition to a large gong is worth a little money, other than worthless, thrown on the throw, threw, he rushed over to pick up every time, picking up the late let others pick up, and to go back to ask for it, but not every time to ask for it back.
Because of the road to see the idlers when they were beaten, not only will not scold, but will be happy!
When happy, will also go forward to follow along with the beat them, beat them to flee, everyone will follow along with the music, haha music.
Waiting to understand, he realized that this is actually not right.
When I was young and didn’t understand, I thought they were just things for people to beat up.
The troupe master cried when he got drunk on cloudy wine at night, sitting in front of the bamboo basket containing the guys and gals, hugging and crying.
“We’re not human beings, we’re just things for the young and old to have fun with!”
“What’s the point of being beaten and scolded? The fact that the men are willing to use us for fun means that they think highly of us!”
As they spoke, they slapped themselves.
When they couldn’t go to the teahouse, they set up stalls in the bustling area of the vegetable market, playing juggling, swallowing fire, swallowing swords, topping plates, and stepping on stilts.
Than the teahouse, stalls in the market can only earn a lively, here to watch the crowd are poor people, after watching the end of the music, a dispersal, very few to throw money in the bucket, there is a reverse robbery of money, then again to fight, alas.
When he was small, he dressed up as a girl to ask for money, looking for the rich, beautifully dressed man, squeezing past, let people embrace touching the face and wringing the buttocks are normal, he then also think it is normal.
He thought it was normal, too. The troupe’s people didn’t have a good life, that’s what the troupe master himself said.
He also saw it with his own eyes.
Swallowing the fire of the man is Shanxi fleeing from the famine, did not learn, the class bishop a few days, let him on the field. Swallowing fire should first have a mouthful of water in the mouth, so that the torch prairie into the time will not burn. The master of the class said that according to the rules, he should be allowed to contain ice, but the troupe is poor, there is no money to buy ice, containing water can also be.
Within a few days of his performance, the man’s mouth was so full of white wounds that he couldn’t even eat his pancakes.
The master of the troupe bought him medicine to let him drink, and after drinking the medicine, he couldn’t act swallowing fire. The master of the troupe accepted him just because he was big, and let him go to act Breaking Boulders in the Chest.
He played two scenes, came back and vomited blood, so he died.
The master of the class has no wife and no children, he would like to marry, once bought a good-looking girl, the master of the class is probably moved, want to stay as a wife, to the girl is very good.
In the end he sold her for five taels of silver.
The girl cried a lot when she was dragged away by the seller.
The master of the class also cried very sad, but did not hinder him to collect money, draw a pledge and fingerprints.
He knew that the class master would sell him sooner or later.
Don’t look at the class master usually quite like him, with him together with the girls and boys are sold, just keep him, but, the class master will not always keep him.
The price was right and he sold him.
The day came quickly.
He was a bit more expensive than the girl, seven taels of silver and a hang of money.
There’s no rule as to which one is more expensive, the girl or the boy.
He thought that a kid was more expensive than a girl in the troupe.
Because a kid can be used as two kinds of people.
In the front, it is a boy.
A girl can only be used as a milkmaid in her old age.
A girl can only be used as a nurse when she grows old, but not as much as a kid.
When he was sold, the class master cried especially hard, hugging him and crying like he was his own father.
“Good boy, you are going to enjoy your happiness, remember, you are going to enjoy your happiness!”
Yu Yingda then remembered the class master’s words.
He was going to enjoy happiness.
–Not to enjoy happiness, why did he have to suffer all these hardships?
After he left, there would be no one to see the class master off.
That’s what he thought.
He thought that the master of the class was keeping him because he wanted him to see him off. When the troupe master was too old to move, and he was still in the troupe, he would be able to earn money from his performances and support the troupe master at the same time.
At least it would allow him to eat a bowl of noodles every day.
Now that he’s gone too, the troupe master is now too old to move, and with no one to see him off, how long can he live.
Yu Yingda felt that he was also quite heartless.
After leaving the troupe, he never thought of the people in it. Every time I thought about them, I wondered how long they would live. Will they be kicked out again when they go to perform at the teahouse?
When they fought, would they be unable to defeat them and have their heads smashed in?
After he was sold, there were no more young people in the troupe, it was full of useless old men and women, they had no talent and no strength, they might only be able to go and become beggars these days.
Thinking in this way, he thought again that he was sold and might really come to enjoy his happiness.
Because after being sold, he lived in a big house.
There were clean clothes to wear and hot soup to drink.
Though there were beatings – but he was beaten in the theater troupe, too, and there was no food.
Although he needed to do some girl stuff – but he didn’t suffer much in the theater troupe either.
It’s not the same thing, but it’s the same thing.
People are all about a mouthful of food and a suit of clothes.
If you eat well and dress well, you are enjoying your happiness.
It’s better than not eating well, starving and freezing.
He went from one house to another, changing his name again and again, and finally he couldn’t remember his own name.
He grew up slowly, from not being able to control which house he went to, to being able to pick his own host family, and his life got better and better.
When he got out of Beijing, he thought about starting over.
The people who used to know him were all in Beijing, but now that he’s in a new place, no one knows him, so he can start over.
But he wouldn’t be any other camp.
He found that it was better to be in his old job.
He was not a child now, he had more experience, he knew to avoid the bad things, and focus on the good things, his days were naturally better and better.
He always remembered the words of the class master.
–He was to enjoy his blessings!
He bought a house, an underling, and a woman.
He had wanted to take a wife in earnest, have a good child, and raise it well.
But then he thought he had bad seed.
He’d seen too much that bad seed doesn’t grow good seedlings.
He was no good, and the children he produced were probably no good either, and it would be even worse if they looked like himself.
But if he didn’t have children, what would he leave in this world?
What will be remembered is the name “Autumn Bug” given to him by the master of the class.
Or was it the name “Yu Yingda” that he gave himself in order to change his fate?
The funny thing is that the surname “Yu” is not his own.
He was sold to the master of the class before he could remember, so how could he remember his own surname?
This last name was the last name of one of his former benefactors.
He was also the one who treated him the best.
People are old, the heart is not old, still want to have fun, bought him, half of the children and nephews, serving him up and down, half as a maid, closed the door to accompany him to have fun.
Although the closed door when this old man a little annoying, but open the door, this old man is still good, serious teach him to write.
He, a big lad of seventeen or eighteen, earnestly studied the Thousand Character Classic more than anything else.
After the death of this benefactor, he was afraid that the people of his family would come to kill him and say that he had harmed them, so he hurriedly packed up the valuable things of the family and ran away.
The second person who treated him well was Mrs. Liao.
Master Liao learned something new and bought him back for fun. The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see him, but I was so happy to see him that I didn’t bother him anymore, and I said that he was more trouble-free than women.
Master Liao only wants him to stay at home and serve, but Mrs. Liao is willing to let him put on clothes and go out to do things.
The clothes he wears are what Mrs. Liao told him to put on.
He accompanied Mrs. Liao to play cards, sent her out for dinner, picked up the youngest master from school, and slowly, he was able to do something even if he wasn’t in bed.
The third one, is Ms. Zhu.
No one knows about his affair with Master Liao and Mrs. Liao, and when the friends of the Liao family see him, there are only two kinds of people, contemptuous and flirtatious, and the best ones are just turning a blind eye and pretending that there is no such person as him.
Only Ms. Zhu. Her gaze swept over flatly, seeing him as one with the people in this room. She neither felt that these people were nobler than him, nor did she feel that he was inferior to these people.
Master Liao and Mrs. Liao, in her eyes, were the same as him.
Mrs. Liao is very annoyed with Ms. Zhu, she only likes Ms. Zhu’s misery. She is very affectionate to Ms. Zhu, but in the past, she would only condescend to look down on her, talking about her loss of marriage again and again, and telling people about her abandonment by her husband.
Master Liao liked Ms. Zhu’s money. He also once wanted to take advantage of Ms. Zhu, but only after Ms. Zhu became Mrs. Liao’s card player did he dismiss this disgusting thought.
He often thought that he and Master Liao were only the same in Ms. Zhu’s eyes, both wanted to take advantage of her.
He actually knew that Ms. Zhu would not fall in love with him.
He just thought that Ms. Zhu would be forced to do so, or succumb to reality, or be confused for a moment, so that he could take advantage of people’s danger.
He was like a tiger, crouching on the side, waiting for the sheep to fall into his mouth by themselves.
Mrs. Liao will help him, she is too eager to see the jokes of those around her, as long as the people around her are worse off than her, she will be happy! If all her friends were worse off than her, then she could be happy every day.
But he didn’t end up getting a submission.
It must have been God’s way of keeping him from it.
He breathed hard, but all he could do was keep choking out a mouth full of bloody foam.
His mouth was full of blood-colored bubbles, all his own.
He heard what the doctor said.
He would choke on his own blood.
There was no way to stop the bleeding.
He could only die a slow, painful death.
But he still had something to say …… still had something to say ……
He had done a good thing, a great thing!
He couldn’t do it for nothing!
If no one knew about it, if no one appreciated him, then wouldn’t he have done it for nothing!
He wants to be remembered! He wants to be appreciated! He wanted ……
A familiar face crashed in.
Two hands clutched his hand.
Ah, it was Second Miss!
He was going to tell Second Miss that he was the one who went to block the Japanese! He was the one who went to tell the Japanese that there were two women heading that way! He was the one who tried to lure them away!
Second Miss! Don’t you forget me! You have to remember! Remember me!
A violent choking cough stuck in his throat, causing him to pop up like a fish in a frying pan.
Seven or eight hands reached out around him and pinned him dead to the bed.
Miss Two’s face was sprayed with bloody foam.
She didn’t care.
She moved closer to him.
She shouted in his ear, “Daddy! I’m calling you Daddy! Did you hear me? Dad!”
Yu Yingda clutched the second young lady’s hand tightly and tried his best to speak, but he could still only cough up bloody foam.
Zhu Yuyan: “I, I’ll treat you as a father to be filial, if you die, I’ll wear mourning for you, I’ll let the child’s surname be Yu, I ……”
She said incoherently, not even knowing what she said.
Yu Yingda grinned, his mouth full of teeth was full of blood.
He took her hand and held it tightly, nodding his head over and over.
Then he coughed like a shrimp again, curled up tightly, and popped open again.
The others had to tie him to the bed.
When Zhu Yuyan learned that he would keep choking like this until he died, she yelled, “Is there anything that can be done? Help him!”
The doctor who rescued him, a military doctor, said, “It can’t be saved. The best way is to give him a knife, let him die quickly, don’t live to suffer.”
Zhu Yuyan subconsciously shook her head, it wouldn’t work!
The doctor said, “Then use medicine to make him suffer less and die easier.”
Zhu Yuyan froze.
Reason told her that this was the best way and the best way to deal with it.
Su Chunjun made the decision for her, “Let’s do it, give him medicine and let him go easier.”
The doctor nodded, “Alright, you guys go out first, I’ll use the medicine here.”
Su Chunjun then held Zhu Yuyan hostage and went out, before she left, she saw the doctor take a smoking pot, open a box and dig up a piece of paste and put it on.
That was!
She understood what the so-called way to make his death easier was.
Behind her she could see no more; she was pulled, gradually, out of that room, out of that corridor.
Twenty minutes later, the doctor came and said, “The man has breathed his last and cleaned up, do you want to go back and take a look.”
Twenty minutes later, she came back to this room.
The room had been made much cleaner.
Someone was mopping up the blood.
The bedsheets were replaced with new ones, white and clean.
Yu Yingda’s face was wiped clean of all the blood, his hair was combed neatly, and his clothes were changed.
His eyes were closed, and his expression was a little twisted, but it was generally gentle and calm.
She asked, “Did he say anything?”
The doctor shook her head, “It’s impossible for him to say anything.”
Zhu Yuyan did as she had promised, burying and erecting a monument in Yu Yingda’s name in her daughter’s honor, and she wore her mourning clothes.
Su Chunjun accompanied her to the cold funeral.
She said, “When there’s peace in the future, I’ll adopt orphans, a hundred of them, all with the surname Yu.”
Su Chunjun nodded, “Adopt two hundred, and the rest will be surnamed Su.”
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Why don’t you just adopt four hundred, one hundred with the surname Dai, and one hundred with the surname Zhang.”
Su Chunjun: “What about those surnamed Zhu? We can’t forget our ancestors. Give face to the ancestors, two hundred with the surname Zhu.”
The two held hands and shook them, making a promise about the future.
