The two sisters of the Yun family could no longer make a living by taking people's lives, so they naturally had to do other jobs. The most suitable thing for them is of course music theory, which they are best at. Their level has long exceeded the level of teaching others - not to mention this is the fastest way to make money. But whether you can pour out the contents of your stomach is another matter. Due to their physical limitations, the Yun sisters are ultimately teapots filled with dumplings. If you want to find a way to teach others, you can always teach, but...it takes too much time. This sounds like doing good rather than making money to live.
It would be too humiliating to join a theater troupe, but that's not the most important part. They were already "famous" when they were in Zuojinmen. To be specific, they were notorious. Even if Mr. Jiyue's face was there, they themselves would politely refuse. Both of them are kind-hearted people and don't want to cause trouble for Jiyue Lord and the troupe. Even if reputation can be carved over time, they don't want to waste anyone else's time.
The only way is obvious.
Open your own theater.
This is not an easy task either. Site selection, land purchase, building construction, and decoration are all costly matters. Although Mr. Jiyue can't afford so much money, he can find a way. He knew a lot of people and borrowed a good piece of land in a prosperous neighborhood. There used to be an inn there, two stories high, so the house didn't need to be rebuilt. As for why the inn is closed, the reason is simple - there are too many places to stay. The food in this inn is nothing special, and the environment is just that. The waiters are all relatives of the innkeeper, and they look grim all day long, as if every guest owes them several hundred taels. In this case, of course, it is impossible to compete with its peers. But when it comes to theaters, there are only a handful of them in this city. People who live here prefer to watch dances rather than listen to music.
The sisters of the Yun family are not afraid of competition. Dance and martial arts both place demands on the body and bones. The flexibility of people who practice martial arts is no worse than that of people who practice dancing, and is even more flexible in some places. It's nothing more than that one movement should be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and the other movement should be soft, graceful, and graceful. These can be trained and controlled, not to mention that they have never learned to dance, so they have some foundation. Jiyuejun knew a lot of people, so he invited a very famous dancer in the world to teach them, and the two of them quickly understood the key points. Although the same sharpness as when playing was still there, the dancer master asked them to keep it and not forcefully change it. Dances that combine strength and softness like this are rare in this place and are sure to attract many customers.
When they open a theater, they must have a place that attracts people and entertains them. The specialty of the two is the combination of dance and music. It needs to be as fancy as playing with weapons, but also requires that the beauty is not lost. It is true that not everyone can imitate this. The eye-catching performances of bouncing the pipa and dancing the harp were unprecedentedly popular, and many travelers even came from afar to watch their performances. The two are most famous for their self-directed and performed song "Breaking the Sky to Kill the Night Dance", which seems to be about a night battle. The calmness has a prelude of chilling, gradually turns to fierce disputes, and finally returns to silence. The whole process is natural and smooth, and makes the audience feel their heart strings tightening and their souls stirring. Even after the song ends, it is difficult to calm down the shock in the heart.
They formed a team of their own. Of course, a theater cannot be propped up by just two people. There must always be something else for people to see. But the people they took in were all met by chance or introduced by others. These people all have one thing in common - they have a disability. Even the waiters who serve tea and water in this theater have something wrong with them. Either the legs and feet are not very agile, or one or two fingers are missing. Of course, the backgrounds of the people they accept have been checked, and they will not accept people with unknown backgrounds. If you accept people on the road, it will bring trouble to the theater.
Everyone behaves honestly and no guests make things difficult for people in the theater. If there are any ignorant people who look down on disabled people, they will definitely be punished by the Yun sisters and thrown out of the building. After several attempts, no one dared to cause trouble anymore, and more people expressed their satisfaction. Their lives were prosperous.
Later, a special person came to the theater. He is not here to listen to music, but to apply for a job.
He was Yun Qingzhan's lover, but of course not at first. To be honest, Qingzhan had no feelings for him at that time, and Qingxian was even a little hostile. This hostility lasted for a long time and never dissipated. But that's another story. This young man appeared in the backyard of the theater for the first time. Before dawn, it is the time when everything is silent. At this time, the theater was closed. Only the guests who stayed overnight were staying there, and there were no performances. It usually starts to get lively at noon.
Covered in blood, he was lying at the door and was discovered by Qing Zhan, who had just woken up and opened the window for ventilation. No one could be seen from that perspective, but she could see the blood spreading down the back street. Ignoring Qingxian's dissuasion, she went downstairs alone, opened the door to the backyard, and found the young man who was about to lose consciousness. At this time, Qingxian couldn't say anything, so she had no choice but to help save people together. The theater was closed for the day, and he was busy inside and outside. He was injured in many places, several blood vessels were broken, he lost too much blood, and his skin turned yellow and gray. Although there are no doctors in the theater, the two girls who were killers still know how to deal with this. After finally stopping the bleeding, he managed to breathe.
At the same time, the two girls also discovered a serious problem.
This person's martial arts should be useless. His cultivation level has not been broken, but the places where he was hit by hidden arrows are all important meridians and acupuncture points. Judging from his physique, he must be a martial artist, but it's a pity that even if he saves his life, no matter how well he is nursed back to health, he can no longer pick up a sword and fly over walls.
Yun Qingxian thought that this man couldn't be kept - his origin was unknown and he was seriously injured. What if he brought trouble to this place? Everyone here is disabled and needs to be protected by them. Even after their lives have stabilized, Lord Jiyue doesn't come often and can't take care of them. And the identity of this person is also crucial. If he is a killer, when he wakes up, everyone will be silenced by him. If he wasn't, the theater would be targeted by those who were after him, forcing them to hand him over. Yun Qingxian didn't want to do the moral multiple-choice questions, and neither did Qingzhan.
What's even more frightening is that this method...is very similar to Zuo Jinmen.
However, Yun Qingzhan felt that as long as they waited for him to wake up, they could control the situation, ask questions clearly, and let him leave before he was a trouble. They shouldn't be as cold-blooded as they used to be, not to mention what they were willing to do in the past, everything should change. Everyone else in the theater supported Qingzhan's position. The reason is simple. They have received enough goodwill from the world, and naturally they feel that they should treat others with kindness. Even if this man wakes up and really turns his back on him, they are still willing to risk their lives to protect the safety of the two girls and even the entire theater.
Yun Qingxian didn't speak, which was considered acquiescence. There was no way, she didn't know how to explain it clearly. There are not many good things in the world, and those good things are not always enthusiastic, and most of the enthusiastic good things are blind. Yun Qingxian understands these principles better than anyone among them, but there is no way to explain them to everyone. Including themselves, they are all lucky and saved.
She kept an eye on this person's movements and never let up for a moment.
The story after that is more clichéd and everyone can guess it.
When the young man woke up, he did not have any murderous intention, but expressed his gratitude to everyone. He looks more like a gentle scholar than a killer. He explained that he was a young master from a rich family, and his family asked him to practice martial arts and study since he was a child, and he could not fall behind in anything. Later, due to a property dispute, his brother hired people from Zuojinmen to kill him. He was outnumbered, escaped, and ended up where he is now. This theater was the furthest place he could escape. He wanted to knock on the door and ask for help, but lost his strength at the last moment. Fortunately, the timing was right and Miss Qingzhan saw him, otherwise he would have confessed here.
That’s so unlucky, the theater people joked. The young man was not annoyed and scratched his head in embarrassment.
He had nowhere to go, so he stayed here temporarily. Qingxian couldn't say anything, but he just told everyone to be on guard at all times. But he is really nice. He can go on stage to sing on a whim, or serve dishes and sweep the floor. Except for heavy work like chopping wood and carrying water, he can help with everything else. Everyone likes him, especially Qingzhan, because he is very good at pleasing people. He was walking around picking flowers, asking someone to bring some candy powder to the market, twisting some interesting small objects with tree branches... Where had Qingzhan seen these colorful intestines of a rich man? At least that's what Qing Xian thinks. But after a while, almost everyone knew that this lovable young man seemed to be very much in love with one of their boss ladies. Although he and everyone knew that the landlady couldn't speak, she seemed to be moved.
Qingxian decided to talk to Qingzhan, and she did. Her attitude is very clear - this person cannot be kept. He has too many thoughts and is too eye-catching. If Zuo Zhenmen fails to complete his mission, he will get into trouble sooner or later. Although they have reported the matter to Lord Jiyue, and Lord Jiyue promised them to contact people from the Zuoji Sect for help, no one can tell what the truth is. The world of a killer is chaotic, not only in terms of relationships, but also in terms of information. Even in a place with such a complete system as Zuomenmen, there are occasional mistakes.
And...if I asked him which family he belonged to, he would never say. It was not that he was being secretive, but he was cleverly avoiding the topic. If he pressed further, he would look distressed and beg the other party not to mention the sad past again. He has decided to break away from his family, give up his property, and live a new life wholeheartedly.
Qingxian hoped that this "new life" would not start from here, but Qingzhan did not hope so.
The two of them never had any conflicts. In a sense, they are always loyal to each other and only each other. Only on this issue, they always break up on bad terms. They are so familiar with each other that the other person can detect a movement, a look, or even a small change in mood.
In such a situation where there is no distance, their conflicting opinions are even more painful.
As the days passed, Zuo Jinmen seemed to have stopped causing trouble. Mr. Jiyue should have really dealt with these matters. To this young man, Qingxian truthfully told all the details and his own opinions. Qingzhan naturally knew that she would do this and did not interfere. After all, she also wanted to know what the master meant. At that time, Lord Jiyue nodded and promised her that she would find out the identity of this person.
Before that, neither the young man nor Qingzhan should have crossed the line. Both of them behaved themselves and didn't make any jokes. The matter between them has even become a good talk in the city, and everyone is waiting for the day when they will come to the church to get married.
Except for clear strings.
