★★★★ Opening remarks ★

View-spacious living room. In winter, it is attached to a church at three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the hospital.

There are two brown doors in the room that lead to the outside; The door is very heavy, engraved with semi-westernized old patterns, and there is a thick curtain full of spots and fading in front of the door, deep purple; The woven pattern has gone off the thread and there is a hole in the middle. On the right-depending on the actors on the stage-there is a door leading to the present ward. The paint on the facade has been eroded away, and the golden brass door handle glows with dull light, which complements the tall and wide gray door frame without yellow pattern and the uneven and ancient western-style wooden ornaments on the door. Presumably, the former director of this house was mostly an old overseas student in China, and after returning to China, he lived a prosperous life for a period of time. There is also a semi-old dark purple velvet curtain hanging in front of this door, which is half open, and the broken or broken curtain angle is dragged on the ground. There is also a door on the left. There are two doors leading to the restaurant outside. From here, you can go upstairs directly or go out from the restaurant. These two doors are more gorgeous and darker than the one in the middle. Occasionally, someone passes by, and it turns heavily on the door railing, making a long friction and sliding sound, like an old man who has been silent and gentle after many accidents. Before this, there were no curtains, doors fell off, and the outline of residual corrosion and paint decoration were obvious. On the right side of the middle door, the wall is recessed like a niche, and the recessed gap is angular and half-drawn. The upper part of the niche is covered with long and narrow French windows, and each corner has a long window, which is very delicate; Below is just a semi-circular plane higher than the floor, where you can put things; You can sit; The whole front is covered with a thick folded velvet curtain, which is pulled in. The niche can be completely covered, and there is no window or sunshine. The room is dark and a little stuffy. The opening ceremony is closed.

The color of the wall is dark brown, which has fallen into disrepair and faded. All the furnishings in the house are rich, but now they are in decline. On the monitor, in the empty space, only a crucified Jesus hangs. Now there is a coal fire burning in the fireplace, and the flame shines brightly on a long and old round chair in front of the fireplace, reflecting red light. In this way, a little warmth makes this ancient house still alive. There is a rough coal hopper and firewood beside the fireplace. On the left side of the right door, a painting axis is hung; Further to the left, near the back, the corner is drawn as a plane of three or four feet. There, there is an old rosewood closet half a person high, with copper sheets stuck at the four corners of the cupboard door. There is a kettle and two white rice bowls on the cupboard, both on old brass plates. Spread a rectangular carpet in front of the cupboard; On the top, parallel to the cabinet is a purple low cabinet, which was used to place delicate things such as porcelain and antiques. Now there are piles of white tablecloths and sheets, which have just been washed and haven't been put into the wardrobe. Below, a round stool stands between the cupboard and the niche. On the left side of the niche (on the right side of the middle door) is a rectangular mahogany table. There are two old candlesticks on it, big old oil paintings hanging on the wall, and a delicate purple glass counter standing on the left in the middle. There used to be antiques in it, but now it's empty. There is a long, narrow and low table in front of this cabinet. Not far from the left corner, at a 90-degree angle, there is a large dark sofa, followed by a long table and a low table in front, and nothing is put. There is a yellow floor lamp on the left side of the sofa, and the left wall is concave in front, at right angles to the left rear wall. There is a coffee table in the recess, and a small oil painting hangs low on the wall. Next to the coffee table, the door to the restaurant on the left is just ahead. There is a carpet in the middle of the room. There are two big sofas lying on it, but slightly inclined; In the middle is a round table with a white tablecloth.

At the opening ceremony, bells rang from the distance outside. In the church, chorus the main song with the voice of wind instrument and piano, preferably Bach: Quivenait Dominomini in B minor-there is no one in the room.

When moving, the middle door was slowly pushed open and Aunt Jia (a church nun) came in. She was dressed like a common nun in Catholicism, with a white cloth towel around her head and a dark blue coarse cloth robe, and her skirt almost dragged on the ground. She walked with a cross on her chest and a bunch of keys around her waist. She came in quietly with a calm face She turned to the door.

Gu Jia (kindly) Please come in.

A pale old man came in, wearing a very elegant old fur coat and taking off his hat. He has gray hair, calm and melancholy eyes, a short pale beard on his chin and a wrinkled face. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. After entering the door, he took them off and put them in his glasses case, his hands shaking. He rubbed it for a while and coughed weakly.

Two voices. The music is parked outside.

Gu Jia (smiling) It's cold outside!

The old man (nods) Well-(with concern) Is she all right now?

Gu Jia is (sympathetically) fine.

The old man (silent for a moment, pointing to his head. ) What about her?

Gu Jia (pathetically) That-still the same. (low sigh. )

Old people (quiet) are hard to cure, I think.

Gu Jia (pathetically), sit down, warm up, and then look at her.

Old man (shaking his head) No, (walking to the right ward)

Gu Jia (walking forward) You're going the wrong way. This room is grandma Lu's ward. your

The wife is upstairs.

The old man (stops, absently) I-I know, (points to the right ward) Can I see her now?

Gu Jia (kindly) I don't know. Grandma Lu's ward is another aunt.

Anyway, I think you should go upstairs and see the old lady.

Not good?

Old man (puzzled) Well, that's all right.

Gu Jia, come upstairs with me.

[Gu Jialing led the old man into the restaurant on the left.

The room was quiet for a while. There are footsteps outside. Aunt B led two children in. Gu Yi is younger and more lively, and everything is the same as Gu Jia. The children who came in were brothers and sisters, all wearing new winter clothes, all red as apples and round. My sister is fifteen years old. She wears two braids and puts them behind her back. My brother wears a Red Velvet hat. Both of them came in happily, and my sister was calm when she was together. When I walked in, my sister was in front.

Come on in, brother. (The younger brother comes in to look at the elder sister, two people.

It's cold outside, isn't it? Sister, you and your brother are sitting here.

Please sit down.

Sister (smiling) Yes.

Brother (holding sister's hand and whispering) Sister, where's mother?

Gu Yi, your mother will come after seeing the doctor, and your brother will sit here and be warm, okay?

My brother's eyes are on my sister.

Sister (very sensible) brother, I have been here, sitting here, and I am talking to you.

You tell jokes. (The younger brother looks around curiously. )

Gu Yi (looking at them with interest) By the way, let my sister tell you jokes.

(of fire) sitting by the fire and chatting together.

Brother, no, I want to sit on this small stool! (refers to the low stool in front of the left cabinet in the middle door)

Aunt B (kind), you're here. But (quietly)

Brother, you have to sit quietly and stop it! There's a patient upstairs-

There are patients here, too.

Sister-in-law (nods well) Mm-hmm.

Brother (suddenly, Xiangguyi), will mom come back?

Aunt B is right, here she comes. You sit down, (the two brothers and sisters sit on the low stool and watch.

Don't move (looking at them) I'll go in first.

[Sister nodded, Gu B entered the right ward and got off.

[Brother suddenly stood up.

Brother (to sister) Who is she? Why are you wearing such clothes?

Sister (very experienced) Sister, taking care of patients in the hospital. Brother,

You sit down.

Brother (ignoring her) sister, look! (proudly) Look, mom bought it for me.

New gloves.

Sister (looked down on him) saw it. Sit down. (Pulling my brother to sit down, two people.

Sit well again).

[Gu Jia comes in from the restaurant on the left. Go straight to the wardrobe in the right corner. I don't see anyone inside.

Brother (stands up again and whispers to sister) One more, sister!

Sister (in a low voice) shh! Don't talk, (pulling my brother to sit down again).

[Gu Jia opens the closet on the right and puts a stack of white sheets, white tablecloths and other things in the closet.

[Gu B comes in from the right ward. When they saw Gu Jia, they nodded quietly, and Gu B helped Gu Jia put away the laundry.

Gu Yi (for Gu Jia, just cut the ground) finished?

Gu Jia (don't understand) who?

Gu B (Mingming, upstairs) upstairs.

Gu Jia (pathetically) finished writing, and now she is asleep again.

Gu B (curiously) didn't hit anyone, did he?

Gu Jia didn't. She just had a good laugh and then broke the glass.

Gu Yi (exhales) It doesn't matter.

Gu Jia (Gu Xiang b) How is she?

Gu Yi, did you say downstairs? (referring to the right ward) She is always like this, when crying.

Don't talk. I've been here for a year and I've never heard a word from her.

Brother (in a low voice, hurry) elder sister, you tell me jokes.

Sister (in a low voice) No, brother, listen to them.

Gu Jia is (pitifully) poor. She has been here for nine years, only a little later than the one upstairs.

It's been a year, but neither is good.

-(delighted) By the way, Mr. Zhou came upstairs just now.

Gu b (strangely) what?

Gu Jia, today is the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Gu B (surprised) Oh, it's thirty today? -Then the one downstairs will come out,

Come inside.

Gu Jia, why did she come out?

Gu B. yeah. (Many words) Every year1February 30th, the downstairs comes out and arrives.

In this room; Stand in front of this window.

What is Gu Jia doing?

Gu Yi probably wants his son to come back. One night ten years ago, her son came back.

Run away and never come back. Poor guy, her husband's gone-

I heard (in a low voice) that Mr. Zhou was a domestic servant and had a drink one night.

Too many, dead.

Gu Jia thinks he understands, so every time Mr. Zhou comes to see his wife,

Always ask the one downstairs. I think Mr. Zhou will get off the bus later.

Lou came to see her.

Aunt B blessed him (piously). (Put the clothes in again)

Brother (in a low voice, pleading), sister, will you tell me half a joke?

Sister (sounds interesting, shakes her head, is depressed, whispers) Brother!

Gu Yi (thinking of another paragraph) wants to know why the Zhou family has such a good house.

And sell it to the hospital?

Gu Jia (quietly) don't know. -I heard the house was even connected one night.

Men and women have killed three people.

Gu B (surprised) Really?

Gu Jia. Yes

Gu Yi (naturally thinking) Why did Mr. Zhou send his sick wife to the hospital?

Upstairs, why don't you move her out?

Gu Jia is, but his wife is crazy upstairs, herself.

Say nothing and refuse to move out.

Aunt B.

[Brother suddenly remembered.

Brother (protesting loudly) Sister, I don't like to hear this.

Sister (stops him, whispers) Good brother.

Brother (condescending, louder) No, sister, I want you to tell me jokes.

[Gu Jia, gu b looked back at them.

Gu Jia (surprised) Whose child is this? I came in and didn't see them.

Aunt B's belongs to the doctor's wife. I'll bring them in and sit down.

Don't put them here (carefully). -In case we scare them.

Gu b has no place: it's cold outside and the hospital is full.

Gu Jia, I think you'd better find their mother. What if you run downstairs and say

Maybe it scared them!

Aunt B (obediently) is not bad either. (to my sister, both of them stare.

Sister, wait here for a while, I'll find it.

Your mother will come.

Sister (politely) OK, thank you!

[Gu B goes out through the middle door.

Brother (Hope), sister, is mom here?

Sister (still blaming him) mm-hmm

Brother (happily) mother is here! Let's go home. (Clap your hands) Go home for the New Year.

rice.

Brother and sister, stop fooling around and sit down. (pushing his brother to sit).

Gu Jia (closes the cupboard door and says to his sister) Brother, sit quietly with your sister.

We'll talk about it later. I went upstairs.

[Gu Jia walks down from the restaurant on the left.

Brother (suddenly interested, standing up) Sister, what did she do?

Sister (think this is not worth asking) naturally went upstairs to find someone.

Brother (eagerly) Who is upstairs?

Sister (whispering) is crazy.

Brother (intuitively) male?

Sister (definitely) No, it's a woman-a rich wife.

Dude, what about downstairs?

Sister (of course) is also a madman. I know my brother will ask more.

The more) you don't ask.

Brother (curiously) sister, just now they said that three people died in this room.

Sister (guiltily) Well-brother, let me tell you a joke! One year,

A king.

Brother (interested) No, tell me how these three people died.

? Who are these three people?

Sister (timid) I don't know.

Brother (unbelieving, clever) hmm! -You know, you won't tell me.

Sister (reluctantly) don't ask in this room. This room is haunted.

Suddenly there came the sound of throwing things upstairs, the sound of chains, footsteps, women laughing wildly and strange crying.

Brother ([Ueda Xia Song] is afraid) Listen!

Sister (holding brother's hand tightly) brother! (Sister looks up and looks closely.

Holding the ceiling).

[Stop.

Brother (settled, clear) Sister, this must be upstairs!

Sister (afraid) Let's go.

Brother (stubborn) No, you won't tell me how three people in this room died. I ...

Don't go.

Sister, stop that now, or mom will hit you when she finds out!

Brother (indifferent) yeah!

The door on the right opened, and a gray-haired old woman came in trembling and stopped in the house, as if she were blind. Slowly strolled to the window, looked through the curtains, and then strolled to the stage, as if listening to something. My brothers and sisters looked at her carefully.

Brother (ordinary voice) Who is this?

Sister (in a low voice) shh! Don't talk. She's crazy.

Brother (in a low voice, secretly), this is probably downstairs.

Sister (voice trembling) I, I don't know. (The old woman's torso is weak and she gradually falls down.

Brother, look, she fell down.

Brother (boldly), let's give her a hand.

Sister, no, don't go!

The old woman suddenly fell down and knelt on the stage. The stage is getting dark and the choir is singing in the distance outside.

Brother (pulling her sister forward and looking at the old woman), sister, tell me, this house is

What's going on here? What are these lunatics doing?

Sister (in fear) No, you ask her, (referring to the old woman) she knows.

Brother (urging) No, sister, tell me, how did this house die?

Personal. Who are these three people?

Sister (urgent) I asked you to ask her, she must know!

The old woman gradually fell to the ground and the stage was completely dark. In the distance, she heard the mass of the choir and the sound of the harpsichord.

Brother Sheng (definitely) elder sister, you ask her.

Sister's voice (low voice) No, you ask her, (curtain falls) you ask her!

[Loud Mass.
