"Yes, yes, we came from Xuanzhou City! It is said that Chang'an City is prosperous, with a large population, and it is very developed. Hehe! Is this man rewarding some small money for dinner? "

The old man came to a little fat man and spoke with a smile.

However, when the money was mentioned, the fat man changed his face immediately. The fat man shook his head and said, "I don't think it's good! The opera is good, so it can't be eaten as a meal! It really doesn't work. Otherwise, you can go to the palace to sing opera for the emperor. If you get the emperor's appreciation, you will be considered as having food and drinking for the rest of your life!"

"How can this be done! It's just a trick, how can the emperor like it?"

"Yes, you know it too, just a trick! Come on, let me sing one for you!"

"Yes, let's have another one and sing another one!"

When it comes to giving money, the crowd is silent.

As soon as they talked about singing, they shouted again.

The old man still greeted him with a smile.

It is indeed a happy thing to have gained the recognition of the audience.

But I am so poor that I can’t eat anymore? Where can I have the strength to perform?

But no matter how hard or tired you are, you can’t be tired of your granddaughter!

So the old man tied his belt and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you another piece of it, White-haired Tower! Dog kid, play the piano!"

"Yes, grandpa!"

Behind the old man, there was a little girl in ragged clothes and a hungry face.

The little girl is about the same age as Li Chengfeng, and she looks about seven or eight years old.

However, she is very small and obviously has a malnourished meal. She hasn't eaten a full meal for a long time.

The old man was singing an opera, and the little girl was also working very hard to play the violin.

Although the two were hungry, they were always performing hard, hoping to get recognition and appreciation from the audience.

When Li Chengfeng saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable.

This old man sang the opera so well.

That little girl, how good she played the piano!

This is a national intangible cultural heritage. In ancient times, it was not enough to eat?

"Brother Feng'er, let's go, just a performer, there's nothing good to watch!"

Li Lizhi was still pulling Li Chengfeng to leave.

Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll watch it for a while. Anyway, we have nothing to do now, right? We're playing for a while!"

"Okay, okay, you like to watch the show, I'll watch it with you!"

Li Lizhi pouted, wrapped her arms around her chest, and stood beside Li Chengfeng.

In the past, only others followed her, but now she also has to rely on her younger brother!

...

After singing a song on the White Hair Tower, everyone still cheered.

But no one paid.

The master's lips turned white, and he obviously had no strength.

The old man couldn't help crying and said, "Dear kind-hearted people, please give me some money! If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, we wouldn't ask for help!"

"Oh, old man, you are really good at performing, but the emperor distributed food and gold to people last year! That real money, haven't you received it?" asked the fat man in the crowd.

The old man shook his head and said, "To be honest, I really don't!"

"Oh? Why is this?"

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's ears slammed, and Li Lizhi suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief.

This is impossible.

Li Shimin has emptied the national treasury, how could anyone have not received any disaster relief funds?

I heard the old man continue, "My hometown is Qian'an in Xuanzhou! Although Qian'an and Chang'an are only one word different! But the two places are one in the sky and the other underground!

"This girl is called Gouwa, you can support her with a bad life! I took the Gouwa for her! Gouwa's parents, one died of fighting in the army, and the other died of illness! We depend on each other for our lives!"

"I heard that after Gouwa's father died in battle, I had nothing to be sad about. As for a person, he died for the country. I was willing to do so. I just felt sorry for my Gouwa. I was three years old and went to his parents!"

"Old man, I have pulled her for five years, now I am eight years old! A few years ago, the house in Xuanzhou suddenly collapsed automatically. Helplessly, the old man took Gouwa away and made a living by playing the show!"

"Last year, a severe drought came from the sky! The emperor was polite to the people and even had to distribute money and food if he emptied the treasury! But, I am not from Chang'an City, so I can't share it! Later, I went to Yangzhou to perform opera, but I can't share it! Local officials said, "You are not from here, so I can't share the money and food you belong to, so hurry up!"

"He advised me to leave quickly, so I took Gouwa back to my hometown in Xuanzhou! When I returned to my hometown, the local government refused to recognize me, saying that I was away all year round and had not returned home for five years, and the house collapsed! They had already removed my household registration and Gouwa! So, the old man didn't get one or two yuan in disaster relief funds at all!"

"Local officials also suspected that I was cheating everywhere and running back and forth between cities, and must have cheated a lot of disaster relief funds, so they snatched all the remaining two taels of silver from me!"

"The way Gouwa and I can last until today depends entirely on the relief station set up by the emperor, and we can still drink food and porridge!"

"If it weren't for the sake of the dog baby, I'm so old that I'd be dead!"

"I'm thinking now. When I raise my baby until I'm 12 years old and can get married, then I'll get married sooner!"

"I have no money and can't afford a dowry. All I can give her is a broken piano!"

"After I settled down, I'll go down to find his father!"

"That's my own son too!"

...

Speaking of this, the audience was silent.

When Li Chengfeng turned around, he saw tears as big as beans on Li Lizhi's face, rolling down like pearls with broken threads.

I really didn’t expect that there would be such suffering in this world!

That old man, a opera that is so desolate, must have had life experience and too vicissitudes.

He has already experienced all the sufferings of the world, so he is not afraid of anything.

The only thing I was afraid of was that my granddaughter, Dogwa, passed away if she didn’t grow up!

Li Chengfeng was also moved!

This old man is a generous man, but in the end he was tortured by life!

His son died in the battle, but ended up like this?

Isn't anyone really care?

Local governments are all consuming shit, right?

Li Chengfeng was angry, but then he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Because this world is unfair, there are even more pitiful people in places you can't see.

"The descendants of martyrs have no one to read the officials? It's outrageous!"

While everyone was silent, Li Chengfeng suddenly stepped forward and took a step forward and shouted.

He was really angry.

On the side, Li Lizhi also groped in and found that she had not brought any money.

So he borrowed 10 taels of gold from Li Chengfeng and said, "Brother Feng'er, lend me 10 taels of gold first, and I'll return it to you in the future!"

After borrowing the money, Li Lizhi gave all the 10 taels of gold to the old man without saying a word.

Li Chengfeng also took out 10 taels of gold from his pocket and handed it to the old man.
