These two big round faces were stuck to the glass, looking extremely weird and eerie under the dark night all around! I stretched out my hand and pulled my dad back in a panic, for fear that this thing would break the window and do something bad to my dad.
, my dad was also a little frightened. He put his arm around me, looked out the window in horror, and asked in a trembling voice who they were?
Several big round faces outside the window were stunned for a while, with puzzled expressions on their faces. They looked at each other, and suddenly laughed strangely. They stretched out one or two pairs of hands that were just like human beings, touched the side of their faces, and clasped their fingers.
, with a fierce force, a thin layer of skin was pulled off in an instant. I was so frightened that before I could see clearly what was under the skin, I screamed, buried my head in my dad's arms, and screamed loudly.
I started crying, and I was extremely confused. Why have I been so unlucky recently? I keep encountering such ghosts!
…………
"Caiwei, Caiwei?"
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard my dad calling me. I hesitated for a while, then slowly raised my head, and saw that the car door next to my dad had opened, and there were two weirdly dressed people standing at the door.
Wearing silk clothes and a big hat on their heads, they look like the kind of wealthy foreigners in costume TV. However, their faces after peeling off their skin are no different from those of ordinary people.
A man with a short black beard sprouting from his mouth.
"Dad, he, they..."
"I'm sorry, I scared you. We brothers are actors and actresses. We had to rush to Yanzhi Town before dawn today to perform, but our car broke down halfway and we ran out of time. We just saw your car coming.
, I just want to ask you to help me drop us off at Yanzhi Town. I don’t know if it’s inconvenient for you, it’s only thirty minutes away.”
Several people who claimed to be actors smiled apologetically at me and my dad. I couldn't tell whether he was a human or a ghost for a moment. If I let them get on the bus, I'm afraid my dad and I wouldn't survive in Yanzhi Town.
, now looking at the expectant looks of the two men outside the car, my dad and I are a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and thought of Tang Ange. He was a ghost. He must know the identities of the two people outside the window.
I closed my eyes and asked Tang Ange with my mind whether the two people outside the window were humans or ghosts, and could I take them into the car?
"Don't worry, girl, we are human beings, we don't mean any harm."
Tang Ange's words were a life-saving talisman at this time. I happily opened the door and let the two men in, saying that we would also go to Yanzhi Town.
One of the two men was about thirty years old, and the other was probably in his early twenties. When I saw them dressed like this, I curiously asked them what kind of drama they were actors in? Why is there still such an industry as actors now?
"There are not many opera singers nowadays. No one wants to listen to it, and no one is willing to learn it. Our two brothers also started to inherit the ancestral business this year. We have only been in this business for a short time. We often rehearse with a group of old actors. The group of old actors went to Yanzhou yesterday.
They are familiar with the people in the town, so they can stay overnight in the town." While the older actor was talking to me, he slowly closed the fake face on his face and asked the younger actor to do the same.
Hurry up and put on the fake face. If you don't perform well then, you will be scolded.
"Then what kind of show are you performing in Yanzhi Town? Why do you still wear a fake face?"
The young actor was carefully putting the fake face on his face. He said that people in Yanzhi Town watched the painted face show. The actors put painted faces on their faces, and the show consisted of slowly peeling off the painted faces in front of the townspeople.
, just like people peeling skin. If the skin is not peeled realistically and there is no scream, it is considered to be a poor performance. People in Yanzhi Town invite their troupe every year, but all they watch is the peeling of painted faces, and the money is not enough.
If I pay too much, I'm afraid they won't come to perform, but there is one requirement, that is, the performance must be finished before the sun comes up.
Why does Yanzhi Town still have such a custom? I had never heard my grandma talk about it before, but seeing the two actors cleaning up their faces so seriously, it didn’t seem like they were lying to me.
