Chapter 450
The leader of the Nuo opera troupe is over 60 years old and his surname is Huang. This kind of folk group travels all over the country in order to make a living. Everywhere they go, they must first go to the "Chun Dian", which means to visit the local snakes and not to cause trouble. This is how Liu Zhiyuan got involved with them. Just a chance encounter.
The Nuo opera troupe checked into Spider Alley in the afternoon. Team leader Huang brought boxes for us to change clothes and paint our faces. The clothes were like opera robes and very loose. The person who painted our faces was a handsome young man.
"Why do I look like an old man?" Dou Sprout said to himself as he looked in the mirror.
I looked at the other people, they were all about the same. Sister-in-law Xiaoxia was unhappy, as if she had something on her mind.
Before setting off, Brother Zhiyuan warned me: "Brother, there is a white truck with the tail number 462 when we get to the West Tower. It has the things you need. I hope we can meet again."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the troupe began to parade through the streets. There were about thirty people in the whole team. We were walking in the middle. The two people walking at the front were walking on stilts with gongs hanging on their chests. The two people were holding gongs in their left hands. With a stick similar to a feather duster, you can hit the gong after walking a few dozen meters and it will make a bang sound.
Many children and young people were watching the excitement on both sides of the road, pointing at the team.
Go through the traffic lights.
"Pay attention to those people." Brother Yu suddenly whispered to me.
I saw five or six young men standing in front of a restaurant, all of them looking idle and idle. One of them was talking and looked towards us, so I lowered my head to avoid it.
These second-rate guys are probably from the game arcade. Jin Fenghuang hasn't given up looking for them yet. He has just left Spider Alley. You can imagine how many pairs of eyes there must be in a place like a train station.
Brother Yu and I were chatting in a low voice when I heard Team Leader Huang say: "Guys, I need your cooperation. Don't worry, it's not a real fight. It's just a joke."
After Bantou Huang finished speaking, a man wearing a red-faced god mask whipped us a few times with a whip. He shouted some sacred words while beating us. I couldn't understand it. It should be a local dialect in Hebei. It really didn't hurt. I pretended that it didn't hurt. Pretend.
When we arrived near the substation, we did some cross-urinal and blowing dog snails. Three hours later, we arrived near the old repair shop.
Seeing that there were not many people around, Team Leader Huang came over and whispered: "It's just the moving truck. You go quickly and take your clothes with you. Just wash the painted face with water."
I looked over and saw a van with double flashers ahead.
"Sister-in-law, take care. Brother Zhiyuan has made arrangements. Someone will take care of you when you arrive in Zaozhuang."
Chang Xiaoxia forced a smile and said, "Take care, too."
This kind of enclosed van is used for moving. After we all got in, the driver came over and locked the door. When we got to the location, he would stop and call us.
There were small carts and blankets in the carriage, and Dou Sprout didn't mind the dirty blankets. He leaned on his pillow and asked Uncle Liao: "Hey, Uncle Liao, where did you put your fake bird? We didn't mean to target you, Fengzi." He said there is something wrong with you and I have to watch you when you sleep."
The truck was bumpy and bumpy, and it was so dark inside that I couldn't see Uncle Liao's expression clearly. I could only hear him sighing and complaining: "Hey, what's the problem with me being a good person? In the final analysis, I shouldn't have taken this job. I'm just asking for it myself." Suffer.”
I apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Liao. I've experienced similar things before. Maybe it's okay for you, maybe. We'll talk about it after we meet."
Uncle Liao said in a dissatisfied tone: "Didn't you realize that you guys are like headless flies? The trouble you get caused by running around here and there is far worse than what Wang Xiansheng does."
He was right. I was not angry, but asked: "So, what do you know, Uncle Liao?"
"That's right, of course I know more than you do."
"The real bird is probably in Jiu Qing Shui. The group of people stayed in the desert for more than two months. Wang Xiansheng just wanted to fish in troubled waters and change the civet cat for the prince. It's fine now. Even if you find him, without the fake bird I made, What would he exchange for a real bird? How?"
I thought for a while and frowned and asked: "Uncle Liao, you said before that the things are in the hands of your apprentice. Now that we are out of the city, it will definitely be inconvenient to go back. Can you contact me and ask him to deliver the things."
"Um....."
"Give me the phone."
"Use mine," Douyazai handed over the phone directly.
There was a dial tone.
"Xiaomi, me, where are you now?"
"master!"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded excited.
"Where have you been these past few days, Master! No one can find the phone and can't get through!"
"Something delayed me. How are our things?"
"Tao Niao is okay, Master. I'm staying in a fast hotel. If I don't find you, I'm going to call the police. I'm worried to death."
"It's okay, there's no need to rush," Uncle Liao said with a smile, "You can leave the hotel now and take a taxi with your things. By the way," Uncle Liao turned to me and asked, "Where exactly should we meet."
"Tell the driver, just say this is the Lion's Bend on the National Highway."
"I heard that there is no apprentice. The national highway is called Lion Bend. We are in a hurry, so come here now."
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Liao returned the phone to Dou Yazai.
