Chapter 1051 The Returnee's Notes 125
As Xie Ning watched the rickshaw drive away, he realized that the person restricting his movements must have been the young man beside him.
The young waiter, Aro, called him sir, while the coachman and everyone else in the courtyard called him Boss Blue.
Why do you care about him? He doesn't have the talent; he just needs to be likable.
A Luo muttered a few words of dissatisfaction under his breath, but stopped tattling. Boss Lan treated Xi'er very well, like his own son, but even so, he didn't let Xi'er enter this industry.
Everyone else in the theater practiced diligently day and night, but Xi'er, after shouting a few lines each day, was sent away to play.
People don't understand whether Boss Lan really likes Xi'er. If he does, why doesn't he teach her his skills?
After all, it's hard to survive in this world without having one or two skills.
If Xi'er could learn even a little bit of Boss Lan's true teachings, she would be set for life and live a life of ease.
So sometimes they feel that Xi'er is like a funny cat that Boss Lan keeps.
Xie Ning scrutinized the young man's features and felt a sense of familiarity. After careful comparison, he realized that this was none other than the ghost in green.
However, the green-clad ghosts that had appeared before her were all made up and dressed in theatrical costumes. When Xie Ning suddenly saw a plain-looking green-clad ghost, she didn't react for a moment.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but look around. Since he had come in through a side gate, he didn't see many people, but each of them was either practicing their voice or practicing action scenes in pairs.
When they see Boss Lan coming over, they all stop what they're doing to greet him. Boss Lan either nods or occasionally gives a few words of guidance.
Xie Ning walked beside him, pondering in his heart, could these all be the memories of the Green-Clad Ghost?
As we entered a small courtyard, a boy wearing a dark-colored coat suddenly fell from a tree. Fortunately, the tree was not tall, and he cushioned the fall, otherwise he would have fallen even harder.
"Xi'er!" Boss Lan's expression immediately turned serious.
Xi'er wasn't afraid. She just patted her knees, then raised her round little face, her eyes crinkling with laughter, her cheeks flushed. Even in black and white, the scene felt festive.
"Sir, sir, I was wrong."
Xi'er quickly admitted her mistake, and then pointed to the treetop and said, "The wind was strong today, and the bird's nest fell down, so I thought I'd put it back."
Otherwise, when the birds come back next spring, they won't be able to find their nest, and we'll have to put in a lot of effort again.
"You're such a busybody."
After Boss Lan finished speaking, A Luo chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, there are people everywhere without nests, but you're worried about birds not having nests."
"Brother Luo, you can't say that. If I could help those who have no home, I would definitely go and help them!"
"But you're just a kid who only knows how to eat and poop! You're dreaming about things that even adults can't do? Take care of yourself."
They can barely survive themselves, yet they're thinking about others.
The two boys were arguing in the back, but Boss Lan didn't stop them. He just slowly went back to his room, and a little while later, the girl named Xi'er also ran in.
Aro then ran to the kitchen, saying he was going to get some food.
"Sir, these are the words I wrote today."
Boss Lan is a local celebrity, so naturally he can read.
So he would teach Xi'er and A'luo to read on weekdays, which is why others called him Boss Lan, but only A'luo and Xi'er would call him Mr.
"Sir, can you teach me how to write the character '寇'?" Xi'er's eyes sparkled.
Why do you suddenly want to learn this character?
Xi'er turned her head to look outside the door, and seemed to see a bustling street. "They all say those people are Japanese invaders. I recognize the character for 'sun,' but I don't know the character for 'invader.' I think..."
Unexpectedly, Boss Lan suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "Who told you that? Didn't I tell you? Stay away from home these days, and don't let a single word of what you heard escap your lips!"
This was the first time Xi'er had ever seen Boss Lan so fierce, and she couldn't help but shrink back. "Why...why? Those people are good and bad, and there are traitors too. They're all bad people, the worst people!"
As she spoke, Xi'er straightened her back. "They want to take our home! Hmm... our country! Just like the Jin army invading the Song Dynasty in the play!"
Boss Lan simply pointed outside and said, "Go kneel down."
