This should be the location of the folk opera troupe.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they met a young man head-on. When the young man saw Ye Ling, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Ah, Boss Ye is back!"
What, Boss Ye? Could it be that Ye Ling is the boss of this theater troupe?
While Xiao Mizi was in a daze, a group of people came running out of the room. When they saw Ye Ling, they were all stunned.
One of the middle-aged men headed up quickly stepped forward, took Ye Ling's hand and asked, "Ye Ling, are you really not dead?"
Ye Ling had tears in her eyes and said, "Master, thanks to you, I'm not dead!"
The class leader of that section said excitedly: "It's good that you're not dead, it's good that you're not dead! You were unconscious at the time, almost as if you were dead, but your heart felt a little warm. We reluctantly put you in the coffin, but we didn't Instead of nailing the coffin or burying it, I placed it in the open air, fearing that you would be buried alive, and hoping that you would come back to life, but I didn’t expect that you would actually come back to life, haha!”
As he said that, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed out involuntarily.
A young man next to him said: "Senior sister, you are the pillar of our troupe. In the past few days when you have been away, the troupe leader has been sighing and sighing, and he seems to be forgetting about food and drink. It would be great if you came back, and we can continue to prosper. La!"
After that, he looked at Xiao Mizi curiously and said, "Senior sister, this is -"
"Ah, this is my second uncle's cousin. His surname is Gu. You can just call him Xiao Guzi!" Ye Ling said while holding Xiao Lizi's arm with a smile.
Well, I am obviously Xiao Lizi, why did I suddenly turn into Xiao Guzi inexplicably?
Xiao Mizi was very reluctant in her heart, but she had to greet people with a smile on her face.
From Xiao Guzi, he thought of Gu Xiaoyi. Gu Xiaoyi was also an opera singer, but he had to change his career because he offended a noble man. He didn't know whether Ye Ling's troupe would offend noble people one day, or whether they would be forced to change careers.
After spending a day or two in the troupe, Xiao Mizi was about to leave.
Ye Ling said, "Brother, my sister is going to sing at the church tomorrow. How about you stay here for a few days and help her go to town?"
When Xiao Dizi heard this, he knew that Ye Ling did not want him to go to the show, but to let him watch a show. He saved Ye Ling, but Ye Ling had nothing to repay, so she had to sing for him in return.
Xiao Dizi thought for a while and had no choice but to agree.
The owner of the party was named Suo Biao, a wealthy man from Kuancheng, to celebrate his old man's seventieth birthday.
The next day, Xiao Dizi followed the troupe to the Suo family's house, and saw more than twenty tables of banquets set up in the corridor of the Suo family's large courtyard. The guests were already seated, whispering to each other. The table in the middle was probably specially set up for Mr. Suo, and the main seat was still empty.
He ordered the girls and boys to come and go, pour tea, water and towels for the guests. When the troupe arrived, he led them to the pavilion opposite the banquet.
The troupe members got ready and started beating the gongs and drums for the warm-up stage.
After a while, a group of people came out, surrounded by an old man with white hair, and moved him to the main seat in the middle table. Obviously, this is the old man Suo who is in his seventies.
After the host and guests were seated, the stage leader led the actors and actresses to the stage. With a smile on his face, he came to the table where Mr. Suo was sitting and congratulated him with his hands in his hands.
Mr. Suo responded with a slight smile.
Then, the festival leader took the actors to sit down one by one to pay their respects and say some festive words.
When they reached the third table on the west side, a sturdy middle-aged man stood up and came to Ye Ling, grabbed her hand hard, and said with a smile: "Boss Ye, I really like to listen to your show, it's you. A die-hard theater fan, can you sing a few lines to me alone?"
Ye Ling's hand was so painful from his grip, and seeing how unruly he was, she wanted to scold him, but she was afraid of offending her master, so she had to hold it back.
When the man saw that Ye Ling didn't respond, he became even more aggressive and said with a shy face: "Boss Ye, if you don't want to sing to me alone, how about you let me kiss you and make everyone smile?"
When the class leader saw this, his face turned pale, but he refrained from having an attack. The actor is humble and has always been looked down upon. No matter how angry he is, he has to endure it.
When Xiao Lizi, who was sitting in the pavilion with the gong and drum guys, saw this, he couldn't help it anymore and said to Hong Rui: "Master, that perverted man, can you teach him a lesson?"
Hongrui didn't respond, but took actual action, seemingly giving the middle-aged man a slap in the face.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man let go of his tight grip on Ye Ling's wrist, and instead covered his head with both hands, his face full of pain, and he even let out a low moan.
When a man next to him saw this, he immediately stood up, pointed at the class leader's nose and shouted: "Hey, don't you want to live anymore? You are here to sing in the hall, why are you hitting someone?"
The leader of the class bowed and smiled bitterly, and said: "Sir, you are right, the little one is here to sing in the hall, how could he hit someone? Masters, I have witnessed that the little one doesn't even have any fingers. Not even a stretch!"
"Bah!" The man didn't listen to what the class leader said and scolded, "You didn't hit anyone, so why is my brother in such pain? Could it be that I hit him myself?"
The class leader was about to continue arguing when he suddenly saw the trainer holding his head and groaning, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
The person next to him looked at the subject, stood up and said: "Boss Wu, I can see clearly that the people in the troupe did not even stretch out their fingers, but you two brothers were holding their heads for no reason. Hey, what is going on? What happened? Even if I didn't see it clearly before your brother hehe, I saw it clearly before you hehe. You can't deliberately accuse others. Today is the 70th birthday of Mr. Suo. Let's invite the troupe to have a good time. You always follow If the Suo family is on good terms, you won’t deliberately cause trouble, right?”
When Boss Wu heard this, he stopped groaning and argued with his eyes wide open: "Brother, we haven't been together for a day or two. Do you think I am the one who deliberately stirs up trouble? I don't know much about my brother's situation. I do I feel like I've been slapped in the face."
Another person came closer and said: "Boss Wu, if you say that, then it is haunted! The Suo family is a home of good deeds. Some are peaceful, but some are sneaky. How can it be haunted for nothing?"
Boss Wu frowned and said, "Brother, you knew I didn't mean it, but you still said it! I don't know if the Suo family is being sneaky. I only know that I got a sap inexplicably."
Suo Biao, the head of the Suo family, saw the commotion here and strode over. After learning about the situation of the Wu brothers, he said: "Everyone, although this matter is a bit strange, now is not the time to talk about it. Please wait until we can discuss it." How about we talk about it calmly later?"
When the Wu brothers heard this, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Because of such an incident during the performance, the stage director no longer went to the table to greet him, but bowed his hands to other tables, then returned to the pavilion and instructed the actors to start the performance.
The host ordered three festive plays. Although the actors wanted to sing as festively as possible, they couldn't be festive no matter what because they were holding back their breath. In the end, they managed to cope with the situation reluctantly.
After the banquet, the guests left one after another, and Mr. Suo also left.
However, the director of the festival sat quietly in the pavilion with the actors because he was waiting for the payment of the reward.
After the meal, Suo Biao came over with the Wu brothers.
As soon as the class leader saw the Wu brothers, he knew trouble was coming and couldn't help but frowned.
When Xiao Dizi saw this, he couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to take action immediately.
But I heard Hongrui say: "Boy, these Wu brothers have demonic aura in them and are not normal people. Just be patient and deal with them quietly."
After hearing this, Xiao Mizi immediately suppressed his anger and waited to see how the situation progressed.
Suo Biao said: "Everyone, my two guests stubbornly thought that you had beaten them. Although I tried to persuade them in every possible way, we refused to give up. How should we handle this matter? How about you discuss it among yourselves?"
