Why it never ends

Chapter 111

The musical continues.

After the bard's introduction, the characters on the stage gradually increased,
This is essentially a love story, but the bard put it in a background full of family and country feelings at the beginning, so it has a somewhat grand narrative color.

In the story, there is a beautiful heroine Volva, a handsome hero Wei Chuyun, a conspirator who deliberately instigated Arslan to go south, a leader of the northern barbarians who was bewitched by the conspirator, and a man who never really appeared. , but the Great Zhou Xinjun who had a major impact on the situation through various decrees.

The men have different personalities and are extremely tense, but they all have one common feature: they are all attracted to the beautiful princess of the Hesta clan to a greater or lesser extent.

At that time, the entire Hestar tribe was enslaved by the Arslan tribe, and the princess, who had been favored everywhere in the past, became a prisoner of the leader of the northern barbarians together with her own tribe.

On a desperate night, the princess refused to endure the pain and decided to dress up to die.

She walked to the snowfield alone, but picked up a sharp dagger on this cold moon night. Holding the dagger, the princess felt some kind of destiny. She sang her pain to the moon, slowly chewing the pain into hatred, and she Determined to help her father, brother and people overthrow the oppression of Arslan, she hid her dagger and returned to the barbarian camp.

It turns out that the dagger was accidentally lost by the hero Wei Chuyun. He is a son of a family with extraordinary skills from Pingjing. He was ordered by the Emperor of Zhou to go north to investigate the whereabouts of the conspirators.

In this way, the two wandered around the northern border with their own goals. During a cruel battle, Wei Chuyun recognized the dagger in Fu Erwa's hand, and a marriage that had been foreshadowed for a long time began.

The following story is similar to all love stories. When the story is nearing the end, Volva is faced with a choice, whether to follow his father, brother and clansmen to find a new home, or to go away quietly, following Wei Chuyun all the way south, and return to Pingjing to seek a new home. Emperor Zhou returned to life.

……

Valenti's eye sockets were already moist.

She knew that Judith and François had incomparable expressiveness on stage, but she didn't know that listening on the spot would further amplify this appeal.

In the dark box, she couldn't help shedding tears for the heavenly voice. She heard that Hesta beside her was breathing heavily. Presumably, Hesta was also moved.

But Valenti didn't look back.When a person is immersed in something and crying over it, it is very unsightly to go up to that person and say "Huh? Are you crying?" She will not do it.

Valenti waited quietly.

The final aria is the most famous part of "The Dagger and the Sheath", and even many people who have never seen the musical in its entirety can hum it.

It is Wei Chuyun standing outside Volva's tent, confiding his heart to her, hoping that she will go away with him:
"I know you are the sharpest dagger in the world"

"Let me be your scabbard"

"Let me quell all this torment"

"Follow me"

"Volva, my free-running river—"

It is said that in the language of the Hesta tribe, "Volva" means "free flowing river". This is the most affectionate part of the whole play. When the libretto reaches the "river", the melody also reaches its climax.

Valenti's hands clenched, she stared at the stage, waiting expectantly for this part.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a mobile phone vibrating from Hesta's coat pocket, but Hesta did not move.

The vibration rang four or five times and stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Valenti's own mobile phone vibrated, she frowned and looked at it, and was suddenly stunned - the caller was Chiba Masaki.

Chiba seldom calls people, unless something extremely important happened.

Valenti quickly wiped away her tears and adjusted her breathing. She got up and walked to the corner of the box, and answered the phone in a low voice, "Hi, Masaki—"

"Is Jane with you now?" Chiba's voice sounded anxious.

"Yes, she's sitting next to me..."

"Have you encountered any danger—what are you doing over there, why are you so noisy?"

"Dangerous?" Valenti frowned, "There is no danger, we are watching a musical at the Central Grand Theater..."

"Let Jane answer my phone, something is wrong with her."

Something is wrong?
Valenti didn't understand the meaning of Chiba's words, but when she walked towards Hesta with her mobile phone, and when she saw Hesta's face sunken in the darkness by the dim light on the stage, Valenti also Once I couldn't help but shiver.

Hesta was indeed in tears.

Not only that, her eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

Valenti had never seen Hesta showing such a ferocious expression—she was gritting her teeth hard, the veins on one temple were bulging, and the skin between her eyebrows and the bridge of her nose was like a deep and shallow seam. Fold, wrinkled into a ball.

Her whole face was now flushed with intense emotion.

angry...she was angry,
But why...

"... Jane?" Valenti called out tremblingly.

Like an electric shock, Hesta's eyes moved from the stage to Valenti beside him.

For a moment when the four eyes met, Valenti really felt the weight of the anger in Hesta's eyes-this may not be called anger anymore.

it's closer to...

Hatred.

At this moment, Hesta saw the shock and concern in Valenti's eyes, and she finally realized her gaffe.

Hesta quickly lowered his head to avoid Valenti's gaze, and wiped the tears from his face.

Valenti was still hesitating what to say, but Hesta stood up in a panic and ran out of the box without saying a word.

Valenti chased after her. While comforting Chiba on the other end of the phone, she kept a distance of more than ten steps from Hesta, observing her whereabouts.

Hesta quickly ran to the bathroom on the second floor of the theater.

The long time of sitting still and getting up quickly made her dizzy, and the intense emotions undoubtedly further contributed to this feeling. Hesta's stomach was overwhelmed, and as soon as she entered the bathroom, she hugged a sink and vomited.

Hesta couldn't hold back the spasms in her stomach now, any more than she could hold back her tears and hatred tonight.In less than half a minute, Hesta vomited up all the dinner he ate in the evening.

Valenti outside the door watched this scene worriedly.

"Don't worry, Masaki," Valenti said to the phone with mixed emotions, "I won't tell you, okay? But I promise this time it won't be like in Wulian... Yes, yes, I I promise not, you don't need to come here specially, I will stay with her until she recovers."
