Li Shi read the poem "Ugly Slave - A gust of wind and rain comes late" again, and compared it with the other two poems and considered it for a few minutes. He felt that the three poems constituted three different stages of Li Qingzhao's life, and they happened to be in season. Correspondence: late summer, early autumn, late autumn, both in terms of story structure and connotation, it is very consistent with the theme.
Without hesitation, he sent it directly to Li Shiyi and explained why he chose this poem.
Thinking that a smooth cooperation would be beneficial to his calligraphy creation in the long run, he later specially translated the entire poem into vernacular, and added: "The only thing I'm more worried about is that the scene described in this poem is a bit explicit about a wedding. Would it be more difficult for you to express your love for a queen through classical dance?"
What Li Shi never expected was that Li Shiyi replied very quickly:
"Don't worry, it won't. In fact, classical dance has many more bold and open expressions, including 'faith' and 'desire'. This poem is just about post-marital love. If this scene could be different from the next two scenes, The clothes are mainly made of tulle, suitable for the late summer season, and worn cooler. As for the scene, it can be expressed with movements and expressions, which is nothing."
Li Shi suddenly became curious when he saw her saying this.
Well, after she finishes choreographing the dance, she will have to observe it carefully, which will also increase her knowledge.
He had watched a lot of classical dance videos online before, but mostly the works from the Lotus Award. The works from the Lotus Award were basically not very explicit and could be shown to adults without deletion or coding.
But in addition, I have also read many works from other places online, and some of them are not suitable for children.
However, Li Shi also knows that people's personalities are different. For example, in the entertainment industry, some female artists can accept independent guidance from the director in the hotel, while others do not even film kissing scenes.
He didn't know beforehand how big a scale Li Shiyi could accept.
Smiling and typing: "Well, that's fine if you think it's okay. I'm worried that the choice of this poem will embarrass you."
After Li Shiyi saw it, she sent several messages in succession to explain and comfort Li Shi:
"I really don't know. They are all artistic creations. For example, the expression of Mei is Zhu Jinghui's dance in "Mei" in the variety show, which makes the male idols look at the work directly."
"Another example is teacher Yang Liping, a senior dancer. Her works, whether it is "Peacock" or "The Rite of Spring", etc., strive to be 'original'. Both the costumes and dances are very bold and have always been controversial. .”
"There is also a classical dance drama combined with ballet called "Lotus", which tells the story of "Silver Lotus" and strives to express 'desire'... It was even banned, so you can imagine how big it is. .”
…
When Li Shi saw that she had posted so much content, he could truly feel the importance she attached to the art of dance. He immediately replied: "Well, I understand. Let's decide on these three poems. Let's each start based on these three poems." The lyrics are brewing, I’m doing my preparations, and you’re also thinking about the music, costumes, and choreography.”
Far away in the capital, in a rental house.
Li Shiyi, who was reciting these three poems silently, saw Li Shi's message and typed carefully in reply: "Okay, let's work hard together!"
After today's exchange with Li Shi, she paid more and more attention to this creative cooperation.
Li Shi gave her the impression that he was a person who knew how to dance, was very talented, and had in-depth research on many types of traditional culture.
At present, it seems that he is a very worthy cooperation partner for her to look forward to!
After sending the message, she read the words a few more times, closed her eyes and imagined for a while, then took out a sketchbook and started writing and drawing.
…
After Li Shi communicated with Li Shiyi, a fellow from Nanhu Province, he wrote these three poems twice, once in regular script and once in running script.
Then he packed his backpack and continued to check the historical materials of Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng on the sofa in the living room with his tablet.
He didn't just check it casually, he also created a new document on his mobile phone and summarized the historical materials he found according to the timeline.
At 3:55, Li Shi received a call from assistant Zhang Huijing on time and went downstairs with his backpack.
After getting into the Bentley, I made a copy of the previously created document "Life of Li Qingzhao and His Wife" and sent it to my creative "partner" Li Shiyi.
He bought the high-speed rail to Yangcheng at 5:11 in the evening and arrived at the high-speed rail station smoothly at 4:47. With more than 20 minutes left, he did not stop too much in the waiting room and entered the platform quickly. Got in the car.
Finding his seat in the business car, Li Shi didn't play games or study. He just flattened his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
It's been a long time since I last saw my two fairy trees. They must miss me very much, and they are destined to chat with me until late at night.
Outside, Li Shi slept lightly, but in his daze, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Suddenly, he felt a vibration somewhere. After a while, he reached out and touched a hard object in his trouser pocket, and suddenly realized - it was his cell phone!
I suddenly woke up a lot.
I took it out and saw that the caller ID was "Li Qiao Na".
He stood up, quickly walked to the middle of the carriage, and answered the call: "Nagu, what's wrong?"
Li Qiaona's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Shitou, your mother just fell..."
Li Shitou tensed up, raised his voice, and asked quickly: "Where did you fall? Is the injury serious?"
When he heard that his mother had fallen, he suddenly became anxious.
If she wasn't hurt, Nagu wouldn't have called specifically.
Li Qiaona knew that he was worried about her mother and hurriedly told the situation: "I stepped on a round stick on the ground and fell. There was a bruise on the left calf, which was swollen. In addition, the skin was broken on the knee. Doctor Yang in the village checked it. , said there should be no fractures, and the bleeding area on the knee has stopped and medicine has been applied. My brother and I are driving my sister-in-law to the county hospital for further examination."
She explained the general situation clearly in a few words.
After hearing this, Li Shi took a few breaths and calmed down his rapid heart rate. Then he heard his mother's voice next to him and quickly asked Nagu to give her the phone: "Mom, how do you feel?"
Zhou Xiaocui on the other end of the phone said quickly: "Son, I'm fine, don't worry, I just hurt my skin a little bit, it doesn't matter, I asked Nana Mo to call you, but this kid just won't listen and will report everything to you. I'm really fine, don't worry. If you ask me, you don't even need to go to the county hospital, and the fall didn't hit you hard, you can just go to the town hospital and have a look."
How could Li Shi not be worried, but listening to his mother's voice, he was quite energetic, and his nervousness calmed down a little, and said: "Don't talk about Na Gu, she must have told me, she's just afraid of falling." What if there is a bone fracture in the swollen area? When you get to the hospital and get off the bus, be careful with the injured leg... Anyway, you listen to Nagu."
After chatting with his mother for a while, the phone returned to Li Qiaona's hand. Li Shi hurriedly warned: "Nagu, along the way, including when you arrive at the hospital, you must pay attention to the injured area. Be careful and be careful not to cause any injuries." Injury...I'll leave everything to you first, I'll find a way to get back immediately."
"Don't worry, I have special attention."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shi quickly took out his mobile phone, checked the time first, and then used map software to locate his current location - in fact, the high-speed train left Tanzhou not long ago. It was now 5:30 in the evening, just after Zhuzhou West Station. .
The next stop should be Hengyang East.
He remembered that there was a high-speed train directly to his hometown of Zhaoyang County in the east of Hengyang, and he quickly opened the 12306 software to check.
Then I checked how long it would take to drive back to the county from Hengyang East on the map software.
"We will arrive at Hengyang East at 5:55... If we drive, the map shows one hour and thirty-eight minutes, so it will probably take two hours... The bus from Hengyang East to Zhaoyang County at 6:20 will take an hour. Zero One will arrive a little faster."
Li Shi quickly bought a ticket. There were no business seats and first-class seats, so he bought second-class seats directly.
He hasn't sat in a second-class seat for a year. Ever since he got the study panel, he always sits in a business class seat every time he goes out.
Now I was anxious to go back to see my mother's condition. I didn't even think about business seats or second-class seats. When I saw there were some tickets left, I quickly bought them.
After buying the ticket, Li Shi took a screenshot and sent it to Nagu. After thinking about it, he quickly typed: "Nagu, you can secretly take some videos of my mother and let me see how she is doing."
Soon, Na Gu took a video and came over.
Li Shi watched it twice and saw in the video that although his mother's left leg in the back seat was wrapped with gauze, she was in good condition, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly wondered in his mind, even if his mother was not used to life in the city, he should still bring her to live in the city, so that she would have better medical conditions if things like today happened.
In his hometown, there is a village doctor in the village, a town hospital in the town more than ten miles away from the village, and a county hospital in the county. In fact, the medical conditions are not too bad.
He used to feel that the situation in his hometown, such as medical construction, had been getting better in recent years.
But now my mother was injured, but she felt a little "disgusted".
"It's just that with my mother's temperament, it's impossible for her to live with me in Tanzhou. Even if she lives in the county, she won't agree."
In today's society, there is often a view that parents should not overly arrange their children's life paths. In Li Shi's view, conversely, children should not overly demand their parents to live the way they want.
If physical and financial conditions permit, parents should also have their own friends and their own interests and hobbies.
That's why he never forced his mother to live with him in the city, because when she was in the village, she would usually have people to chat and gossip with, work together, dance square dances... her life would be much happier than in the city.
"When I go back this time, should I mention it to my mother again, or find a way to improve the medical level in the village nearby?"
Li Shi was about to search the Internet for "how to improve the medical level in the village" when he suddenly remembered that he had not told Qiuye and Yuelan that he had changed his itinerary.
He immediately found Chen Qiuye's number and dialed it.
The phone rang twice before it was connected, and the cheerful voice of Snow Mountain Youlian came from the other end: "Shitou, do you miss us too much if you call now? Sister Yuelan and I are buying ingredients in the supermarket. We will wait for you to arrive. Just have a big meal, let me tell you, I recently learned a dish from my sister, and I will make the chili fried pork tonight!"
Li Shi felt better when he heard her voice. Although he couldn't bear to interrupt their happy mood, he still said: "Qiuye, things have changed a bit. My mother..."
He explained the situation again.
After hearing this, Chen Qiuye said directly without saying a word: "Then please pay attention to safety on the road and wait for us!"
Wait for us?
Li Shi asked in surprise: "Are you coming over?"
Chen Qiuye's voice was calm and firm: "Of course, when mom goes to the hospital, Sister Yuelan and I must come."
Li Shi originally thought that since they were far away and it was so late today, he would wait until he went back to understand the situation first.
At this time, Wang Yuelan's soft voice came from the other side: "Qiuye, tell Shitou, the tickets have been bought, leave at 6:58, and arrive in Zhaoyang at two minutes past ten in the evening."
Chen Qiuye immediately said: "Shitou, you heard what Sister Yuelan said. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's drive to the high-speed rail station now."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, the images of autumn leaves and Yuelan appeared in his mind, a snow-capped mountain lotus and a valley narcissus, which were pleasing to the eye and warmed his heart.
I returned to my seat and was dazed for a while. Then I thought of Aiya again. I found her WeChat account and told her about the situation: "I'm sorry, so I have to rush back to my hometown now. My family members in Yangcheng will also go back to Zhaoyang County." , so I won’t go there for the time being.”
Aiya is also a sensible girl, and immediately replied: "It's okay, Brother Shi, Auntie is injured, you must rush back and take a look, don't worry about me."
Seeing that she was so sensible, Li Shi thought for a while and then said: "If you still want to play with me, you may have to come to my hometown. Otherwise, I will go to the capital after a while. If you go , I will take you to eat Beijing Roast Duck."
After a while, the train entered Hengyang East. Li Shi got out of the car with his backpack, and Aiya replied to the message.
"Brother Shi, I suddenly remembered the rice noodles I ate downstairs at your house that time. I really miss the spicy taste... But you have to take care of your aunt, so I won't go over and cause you any trouble."
Aiya and her sister Ai Lan came to visit Li Shi together, and they met in Zhaoyang County.
The rice noodles in various counties and cities in Nanhu Province have different characteristics and are all very delicious. Zhaoyang's rice is no exception. But does she really miss the taste of rice noodles?
Li Shi watched while paying attention to the transfer prompts.
I took the escalator to the second floor and came to the waiting room again. I found a seat and looked around at the passengers. It was crowded and noisy.
He took out his phone again and looked at Aiya's reply again, remembering the information the twin sisters had revealed in the group chat.
The two of them have been together every day since childhood. They are sisters, best friends, and besties. In the past, in addition to each other, they may have had some plastic friends in their hometown, but after going to Pengcheng, those plastic friends did not keep in touch. , leaving them with only each other...
"This little girl must have a strong sense of loneliness now."
Li Shi himself is more concerned about loneliness, which is related to the deep helplessness he experienced after his father passed away and his mother became seriously ill.
At this time, there is information in "We Three".
Chen Qiuye: "Shitou, we have to go back to Zhaoyang temporarily. Don't forget to tell the little girl who ran away from home to see if she wants to come to Zhaoyang too." (End of Chapter)
