"Play the drums hard and play the gongs slowly~ Stop playing the gongs and stop the drums to listen to me singing~ Listen to me singing Shiba Mo~...."
An irritating sound came from the alley on the left. When he saw Li Sui turning his head following the sound, Li Huowang couldn't help but frowned and immediately waved the reins to make the carriage go faster, lest he
Li Sui learned bad words after listening to them.
"Reach out your hand and touch the silken side of my sister's face. Dark clouds have been flying for a long time. I reach out and touch the front of my sister's head. The heaven is full and addictive..."
Lu Juren, who had a white pancake on his nose and made up for the opera, stood on the high platform and sang hard, and gestured with the words with his hands.
The young and old men in the audience listened intently, exchanging glances with winks from time to time, and making hey-hey-hey sounds to each other.
After the song "Eighteen Touches" was sung, there was an immediate burst of applause. This is not a new fan opera of Daliang. People in Beijing have never heard of it. Coins were thrown onto the stage.
"One more! One more!"
"Don't you have women in your theater troupe? I want women to sing for me!!"
"That's right! If you want a woman to sing, I will reward you with more money!!"
Just as Lu Zhuangyuan was bowing and holding the gong to catch the flying coins, a voice came from outside the crowd. "What are you doing! What are you doing!"
When they saw that the person coming was actually the head catcher in blue, the crowd dispersed in panic. For a moment, Lu Zhuangyuan looked a little nervous.
"Who asked you to sing an opera here? What a fucking opera! It's immoral! Are you blind? You can't even see such a big notice next to the city gate?"
Lu Zhuangyuan accompanied Xing Xing, lowered his head by three inches and said to the leading catcher: "Master, the official, I... I don't know how to read, I hope you can be accommodating."
"I don't care if you can read or not! Pick up all the copper coins on the ground! Confiscate them!"
Lu Zhuangyuan was really reluctant to part with so many copper coins, but he had the word "official" and always had a reason for everything, so in the end he had no choice but to do as he was told.
When the head catcher happily left with the copper coins, the others were like frosted eggplants, dismantling the stage with a sad expression.
Just when they were halfway through the demolition, Lu Xiucai and Gou Wa came back, scolding each other.
"That's bullshit! You call me a dog, and your method is bullshit! Those beggars have been looking for so long! They can't even find the shadow of the master!"
"Clear your mouth! Who are you talking about? At least I am working. What about you, apart from talking hard, what else have you done? Do you really think you are a scholar?"
The two people who were cursing came to the stage and turned off the lights after seeing the dismantled stage.
"Leader Lu, what's going on? I finally found a good place to sing a big opera, why is it demolished again?" Gouwa asked, scratching his painted face with his hand.
When he learned the cause and effect of the incident, Lu Xiucai was so angry that he jumped up and kept waving the tied copper coin sword. "The people from Beijing are fucking bullying again! Where are those two idiots going! I'll chop them down."
Kill them!!"
Lu Zhuangyuan sighed and hammered his sore back with his hand, "Okay, okay, there are enough things. Please stop causing us trouble. If you can't make money, you can't make money. Don't miss this moment."
."
"Father, you can't say this. People eat horse chews every day. It's all expenses. Besides, the money to go to Beijing is not worth it. A sesame cake costs five cents." Holding a bronze mirror.
Daughter-in-law Luo Juehua said with some dissatisfaction.
"Do you want to talk too much? I don't know how to manage my own money?" After scolding his daughter-in-law with a cigarette pole, he turned around and looked at Gouwa with a smile. "Um, Mr. Cao, have you found the little Daoist?
?"
There was no hope for the theater and there was no money to be made. Lu Zhuangyuan actually wanted to leave, but he knew that he had other purposes for coming to Beijing this time, so he just said he was leaving, fearing that it would be difficult to explain when he returned to Niuxin Village.
In this atmosphere, Gouwa couldn't say anything else. He just kept saying, "It's going to be faster."
But Shangjing is so big and there are so many people there, so finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it’s not that fast.
"Forget it, let's tell Xiaoman and the others what happened here first. Anyway, I asked the beggar. If I can't find Senior Brother Li, I won't be blamed."
Gou Wa thought about it and walked towards the Chenghuang Temple, preparing to find a down-and-out scholar to write a letter.
At this time, the senior brother Li he was looking for had just left the city. After walking for dozens of kilometers, he found a remote place, stopped the carriage, prepared water and food for the horses, and prepared to go to Daqi.
When he felt that Li Sui's tentacles were growing out of his own skin from all directions, Li Huowang took a long breath. As he raised his right hand, two tentacles wrapped around the spine sword were delivered to his palm.
"Let's go!" Li Huowang waved hard, kicked his feet and six tentacles to the ground, and rushed towards the crack in front.
He had already experienced it once and was obviously much more proficient. This time when Li Huowang came to Daqi through the rift, his Taoist robe was not even torn.
However, before Li Huowang could be happy at all, the shocking scene in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly, and a huge dark cloud in the distance was pouring towards him like a mountain.
"That's..." Li Huowang squinted slightly and instantly saw clearly what those things were. "Those are locusts!!"
The next moment, the sunlight blocked by the overwhelming locusts was like an upside-down black ocean.
Li Huowang made a prompt decision, inserted the Spine Sword back, and took out the Purple Finger Sword. The evil energy soaring into the sky instantly enveloped him, frightening away the locusts that were chewing on his robe and hair.
The sound of flapping insect wings lasted for half an hour. When the sun above his head appeared again, only bare poles were left in the trees, flowers and plants around Li Huowang.
"Brother Li, this is a natural disaster." Zhuge Yuan's face began to look a little ugly.
"Is this also a natural disaster? Brother Zhuge, these are obviously just locusts."
"For the people of the world, the most important thing is food. They never care about which way of heaven is missing. After all, they can still live without the way of heaven temporarily, but they will starve to death without food. In their eyes, the locust plague is far more important than anything else.
What kind of natural disaster is much scarier?"
"What's even more scary is that this locust plague will be followed by drought, military disasters, and plagues. The entire Daqi is probably going to be devastated."
Looking at the locusts flying towards the capital of Daqi in the distance, Li Huowang once again had a doubt in his heart, "What on earth is happening in Daqi?"
When he saw Zhuge Yuan's expression, Li Huowang couldn't help but said: "Brother Zhuge, if you want me to do anything in Daqi---"
Zhuge Yuan shook his head. "Brother Li, you are not from Daqi. This is not your cause and effect. There is no need to get involved. Besides, you are not having a good time now. No matter how much you feel sorry for the people in the world, you cannot be generous to others."
