Zhenhua and Qi Lei are too young to know some of the customs of their hometown.

The older generation of people are like mirrors in their hearts, and they all know that this singing is for Xiulian!

In the folk customs of Anhui, singing is not just entertainment, it has many additional functions!

For example, it can be used to ward off ghosts.

It can also be used for gambling, and it can also be used to let young people fall in love on a blind date......

Xiulian died horizontally, in the reeds of her hometown's river beach, which left a psychological shadow on the villagers. Now it's haunted again, adding to the fright.

There are no monks and Taoists in the countryside to exorcise ghosts and catch ghosts, and at this time, a Lu drama is very needed!

Singing can bring popularity, and popularity can dispel ghosts - this is the purpose of singing in Dongwan Village.

And among the Lu dramas, there is also a play called "You Difu", which is the nemesis of lonely souls and wild ghosts. This play is usually placed in the finale, and when the time comes, the Hades judges in the underworld, black and white impermanence and bull head and horse face, will all appear on the stage, and they will all be wiped out of the nearby lonely souls and wild ghosts, and they will all be taken away.

As for entertainment, in this singing, it is secondary.

Zhenhua and Qi Lei didn't know these ways, and no one would tell them.

Qi Lei sent Zhenhua away, and came to Lao Mazi to learn drama in a hurry, engrossed in it, and forgot to sleep and eat. Moreover, Qi Lei was also very generous, and sponsored 200 yuan alone for the expenses of the theater troupe.

The village opera kicked off a week before the winter solstice.

The stage is set up in front of the village of the second group, next to the road, and is located in the south of the road.

God also gave face, and there was a warm little spring, and the sun was shining warmly for several days.

Dongwan Village was lively, and people from all over the world flocked to the stage after lunch, gathering under the stage in the dark.

The twist sellers, the malt candy sellers, the sugar gourd sellers, and the burden-carrying merchants came four or five at once, turning Dongwan Village into a lively market town.

In the four groups of Dongwan Village, almost every family has relatives who come to watch the play.

Zhenhua's sister came, her aunt came, and her aunt came. There is also a seventy-year-old aunt and grandmother, who also walked more than ten miles on crutches!

In the past few days, Wang Xiang has killed two pigs every day, and he doesn't need to rush to the market at all, so he is divided up by the villagers in the village. Every family invites relatives to come to the play, and every family has guests, so pork is naturally easy to sell. There is also Qiu Houjun, a tofu craftsman, who has also made a lot of money in the past few days, and even sold tofu dregs!

In Sanxiang Wuli, there are many young men and women who came to Dongwan Village on a blind date under the pretext of watching a play.

Blind dates in the theater have a great advantage that can be compared.

There is a saying in Hedong Town, cattle are afraid of going public, and people are afraid of watching dramas.

Looking at their own cattle alone, almost all of them are behemoths. If you go to the bull market to see the cattle, you will find that your own cattle are not big, they are more powerful than your cattle!

People are like this, when they compare, they know who is tall and who is short, who is white and who is black, who is ugly and who is handsome.

Qi Lei sighed: "Alas, it's good that Dongwan Village is so lively every day, and the villagers can do a little business and make a little money." ”

On the first day, the troupe sang "Borrowing Luo Yi" and "The Old Man Asks for Money". Both plays are joyful and are usually used as opening lines.

Next is to sing traditional repertoire such as "Little Cidian" and "Zheng Xiaojiao".

On the third day, he sang "Hugh Lilacs". Zhou Wu, who everyone had been waiting for for a long time, finally took the stage to sing and perform affectionately.

On this afternoon, under the stage of Dongwan Village, about 3,000 villagers gathered to watch the play!

The curtain opened, and the gongs and drums rang out.

Zhou Wufen had red lips, wore a silver crown and sideburns, a golden flower, a sword hanging from his waist, riding boots on his feet, a horse whip in his hand, and a set of sky blue robes.

After the appearance, Zhou Wu began to sing: "A sword is bright and bright, and it is out of the Yin'an Treasure Palace." Kong Ming used a plan to cross the river, and Su Qin said that he would go through the Six Nations Gang. Liulang wants to behead Yang Zongbao, and Zongbao will not leave Mujiazhuang. Clever words and four words, this book is out of the above theory......"

Sure enough, it is a famous name, this opening, the words are correct and round, and the country sound is long, which is not comparable to the level of Lao Mazi.

And people's footwork and figure, the kind of calm and chic typhoon, have been perfected and impeccable.

Energize listened stupidly below!

Wang Xiang, Zhao Chenghai and others, all of them were infatuated and drunk, and they didn't know what day it was.

Zhenhua originally didn't like Lu opera, but when he heard that Zhou Wu was very famous, he couldn't help but watch a "Hugh Lilac". Who knows it's okay not to watch it, but when I look at it, Zhenhua is also the same as Qi Lei, and suddenly became obsessed with Lu Opera.

The plot of "Hugh Lilac" is very simple: the male protagonist Zhang Wanlang, a rich son, was bewitched by his godsister Wang Miaoxiang, went home to divorce his virtuous wife Guo Dingxiang, and married Wang Miaoxiang. Guo Dingxiang married another and became rich, and Zhang Wanlang was burned down by a fire, lost his sight, became a flower child, and begged to his ex-wife's door. His ex-wife Guo Dingxiang saw that Zhang Wanlang was pitiful and gave him a bowl of food. Zhang Wanlang understood and committed suicide in shame.

Although the plot is simple, the lyrics are very good, with twists and turns, layer by layer. There is also Zhou Wu's excellent performance, so it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Hua Dan's singing skills are also good, and many women burst into tears when they saw Guo Dingxiang being taken out of the solo.

Lan Yuzhi cries the saddest because she thinks of Qi Lei and Fluttershy.

Cuihong wiped her tears while watching the play, and educated her son next to her: "The drama is all persuasion, you see that this Zhang Wanlang is confused, he took a break from Guo Lilac, and finally became a ...... called Huazi"

Zhenhua was surrounded by those aunts who were crying a lot, his emotions were infected, and he was also a little moved, and nodded and said: "Yes, Zhang Wanlang has taken a leave of absence from Guo Dingxiang, and the subsequent disasters are all retribution!"

Cui Hong whispered again: "You have time to persuade Qi Lei again, get married, how can you say that you will leave?"

"Well, I'll go find Qi Lei!" Zhenhua nodded, and went to Qi Lei all over the room, intending to prevent Qi Lei from divorcing his wife, lest he become a homeless, blind begging Zhang Wanlang in the future!

Qi Lei is short, crowded in the front row to watch the play, tiptoe and stretching his neck, watching fascinated.

On the stage, the play has come to an end.

Zhou Wu played the role of Zhang Wanlang, who was blind and turned into a flower, wearing a ragged clothes, carrying a begging stick, holding a broken bowl in his arms, and singing alone with tears and blood: Zhang Wanlang, I lived in a good building with five horses, and I ate delicacies from the mountains and seas......

Zhenhua walked over, put his arms around Qi Lei's neck, and whispered: "See, you see? Look at Zhang Wanlang's divorce of his wife, how miserable it is in the end! Stinky boy, hurry up and make amends to Zhuang Xiaodie, and live honestly!"

Qi Lei rubbed his eyes, glared and said, "Don't be, I am Guo Dingxiang who has been taken out of the house now, and Zhuang Xiaodie is the ruthless and unrighteous Zhang Wanlang!"
