Chapter 30: Singing Opera
In Li Huowang do not know in front of this in the end is sung when, the following sitting to watch the theater farmers have moved, they have taken out a two copper money, toward the stage to throw.
Watching the theater are all the fields to beg for food farmers, throwing money is always a minority, more is some bud rice sticks, potatoes and other food.
The family of the thicker also at most throw some salted fish and bacon.
However, Luo silk flowers also come, have to thank.
"So this is how opera singers are paid?" Li Huowang was enlightened in his heart.
Looking at Luo Silk Flower kneeling so humbly on the stage, holding her daughter while continuing to sing in a crying voice while reaching out to pick up the things on the ground and placing them in the basket, and every now and then she also had to bow and curtsy to the applauding people below.
He immediately sighed, it's not easy to earn this bowl of rice.
Just when Luo Silk Flower was picking things up, a small piece of broken silver was thrown up.
She immediately brightened up, reached out and picked up the silver and gently weighed it, after realizing that there were at least five coins, she immediately pinched the opera cadence and sang while kowtowing to the only fat old man in the crowd who wore satin.
"Good good good! The singing is so good!" The red-faced old urn raised his head and another piece of broken silver flew up, ushering in a burst of thanks from Luo Silk Flower.
Li Huowang was a little weary of the farce before him, and he snorted a hache to lie down on a pile of rice poles, saying to the relatively stable Zhao Wu next to him, "I'll squint for a while, you keep an eye on things."
"Okay, senior brother."
When Li Huowang opened his eyes again, he realized that it was already three poles above sunrise, and the others were gossiping around, it looked like the group had nestled in this pile of rice poles last night to make do for the night.
The theater stage in the distance had already been dismantled, and Lu's family was stuffing the rows of goods into the wagon boxes.
"Zhao Wu, how many days of grain do we have left?" Li Huowang suddenly asked.
"Not much more, save and eat for three days at most." Zhao Wu raised his mouth and replied.
Li Huowang handed him the dozens of copper coins and a small piece of black silver that he had pitted from the material room. "Go to the village and exchange it for some food. I guess it's going to be enough to go on the road."
A dozen people, and all of them were young and big boys, the consumption of food was very large, and with so many bags brought from Qingfeng Guan, they had eaten almost all of it by now.
Zhao Wu, who was lying on the fool's back, was just about to let the fool go into the village, but after thinking about it, he reached out and summoned a better-looking little Taoist boy, and while placing the money in his hands, he softly instructed something.
Li Huowang propped himself up on a pile of rice poles with one hand and walked toward the theater stage in the distance.
"Old Abbot, when do we depart?" Li Huowang asked towards Lu Zuoyuan.
Lu Zuoyuan looked a bit anxious, "Little Taoist Master, please wait for a while, my daughter-in-law took Xiu'er and ran off somewhere early this morning, when she comes back, we will depart immediately."
Li Huowang was puzzled. "Hm? Out of sight? Isn't that so?"
When Lu Zuoyuan followed Li Huowang's finger and looked towards the head of the village, he saw Luo Silk Flower, who was holding a few feet of cloth in her hands, holding her daughter and walking towards this side with a smile on her face.
When he saw this out-of-tune daughter-in-law, Lu Zuoyuan immediately became furious and rushed over with his tobacco pipe to scold him.
In the face of her father-in-law's anger, Luo Xianhua looked very innocent. "Father, didn't you tell me to go to the village to pull cloth. Said the cloth in town was expensive..."
After fiercely venting his anger, Lu Xiangyuan turned to Li Huowang and said with a smile, "Little Taoist Master, it's alright, let's go then."
"Hey~! Father, don't go yet, I just went to buy some cloth, but I've solicited business."
Hearing this, Li Huowang and Lu Scholar Yuan simultaneously looked at Luo Silk Flower. "What business?"
"What business can we do, of course it's the opera business. The employer is the same lord who gave the most money last night! You should go and take a look, he said he has some things to discuss with you."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Zuoyuan could not walk at once, he slowly turned around and sardonically smiled at Li Huowang.
Although the other party did not say anything, but looking at the expression, Li Huowang certainly understood what the other party meant. "It doesn't matter, it's important for Class Master Lu to make money. The matter of waiting one more day."
"Aigoo aigoo, sin sin sin, old man I will go and return." Lu Zuoyuan finished, put the tobacco stick in his hand to his neck, joyfully dragged his daughter-in-law toward the village.
Li Huowang returned to the pile of rice poles, and with nothing else to do, he picked up the dried out dao bell and scrutinized it.
If he could really exorcise Master You, it would undoubtedly increase his strength greatly.
It was a pity that this thing couldn't be summoned now, and he had to find a way to fix it before he could do so.
After turning it over and looking at it carefully several times, he realized that everything else was fine, it was the deflated bell wall that was the only possibility.
"So if we put it back to square, won't it work?"
Li Huowang pondered for a moment, padded a square stone underneath the bell, and then immediately picked up a stone and knocked down hard against the bulging side.
But the stone knocked, ear-piercing bell immediately rang, Li Huowang suddenly headache, the hands of the stone are to hold unsteady.
"This won't work, we have to ask if there is a blacksmith inside this village." Li Huowang shook his groggy head hard.
Just then, Li Huowang saw the few Daoist children, dragging two bags towards this side.
He put away the dao bell and followed Zhao Wu, who was on the fool's back, toward that side.
"Senior Brother Li, we've only been able to exchange these." The Taoist children's tender faces were filled with uneasiness, although they were all children, they were very knowledgeable and capable, after all, the ones who didn't know better had already been killed by Danyangzi.
Li Huowang reached out and ripped open the sack, finding that it was full of dried groundnuts.
"Senior brother, these greaseless things won't last more than a few days, the fool can eat a catty and a half in one meal, and it burns the heart to eat too much of this stuff."
Zhao Wu's words made the naive bald fool hang his head in shame, "You .... You guys ....... Don ..... Don't... Leave me ...... I ..... I eat less!"
There's not enough food, Li Huowang looked at the sacks in front of him and pondered the countermeasures.
Listening to Lu Scholar said that there is still a lot of road to Jianye City, if there is no food halfway, his dozen people can't go to gnaw on the bark of a tree.
He once again put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gold ring wrapped with a red rope.
Holding this thing and thinking about it, Li Huowang reached out and shoved it into Bai Lingmiao's hand who was holding the hem of his coat behind him.
"Take this and exchange it." Li Huowang pulled out Xuan Yang's piece of jade pendant and handed it to Zhao Wu.
"Elder brother, how can this be exchanged ah, there is no pawn store in the village, others can't find it open ah, and these mud legged men plowing the fields may not recognize the goods."
"The jade pendant can't be exchanged for grain either, so what should we do?" Just when Li Huowang was troubled by the grain crisis, he saw Lu Zuoyuan with his daughter-in-law was walking towards his side.
"That, Master Xiao Dao, old man, I've run into some trouble in my business, can I trouble you for a favor?" Lv Scholar's expression was very embarrassed.
"Master Lu Ban, I don't know how to sing opera either, I'm afraid I can't help you with your trouble." Li Huo Wang felt very ridiculous, could it be that he still wanted to ask himself to go to the stage to do a sword dance?
"No, no, it's what you can help, that is ....." Lu Scholar said this, sneakily looked around, came over and lowered his voice and said, "That Master Hu asked me to sing a ghost opera ...."
