After walking a few steps, I saw three low walls enclosed against the wall, and a pig lay in it.

At this time, a woman came out of the house, also in her forties, and greeted her with a smile and asked, "Is it from the troupe?" Lao Liu called me and told me. ”

When Fan Xiaohui asked, she smiled and said, "Yes." ”

The woman smiled again, "Come into the house." As he spoke, he led the way in front, stepped up the steps, and led Fan Xiaohui and the others to a room.

Fan Xiaohui saw that this woman was tall and thin, with dark skin, wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes like knife cuts, and a few strands of messy hair, which were casually curled at the back of her head, and she expected to be the wife of the village director.

The woman opened the door of the house, smiled and let Fan Xiaohui and the others go first, Fan Xiaohui pushed back, Fang came into the house, and the woman said: "The three of you live here, tell me if you need anything." ”

Fan Xiaohui smiled: "Okay, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

The woman said: "Don't bother, where do you usually come?!" After speaking, he said a few more words, and Fang went.

Fan Xiaohui saw that the house was spacious, the kang was covered with thick mats, the sheets were clean, and the kitchen was simply furnished, not like they often cooked, so they thought that the couple lived next door, this was the guest room, so together with Yayun and Jiaoyue, they placed their respective belongings, went out again, said hello to the woman, and came to the stage from the hospital door.

Everything is ready, and after dinner, the actors all come to the stage to prepare for the performance.

The first scene is still "Under the Rotten Ke Mountain", but Han Yang didn't come, so he could only play Cui Qiaofeng by Yayun.

The gongs and drums sounded once, the actors were already dressed up, and suddenly, the stage was pitch black.

Fan Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, Fang Wu was out of power, Han Yang was not there at this time, and the apprentices were young, so they had to come forward to negotiate with the village director by themselves, thinking of this, he took off his costume and handed it over to Yayun, found the director in the crowd, and asked him: "The power is out, is this play still singing?" ”

Director Liu frowned and said, "What's the matter!" There were few power outages in the village before; You wait. With that, he turned around and went.

Fan Xiaohui had to return to the stage again, and saw that Qing Shui and the others had turned on the flashlights of their respective mobile phones, which illuminated the stage much brighter.

After a while, Director Liu came to the stage, walked up to Fan Xiaohui and said: "I went to check around, it's not a problem with the village line, so I don't know when this electricity will come, the villagers mean that they have nothing to do when they go home and go home in the dark, and they want you to light a torch and sing." ”

When Fan Xiaohui heard this, she was not angry, and before she could speak, she listened to Changfeng and said: "Lighting a torch and singing?!" Are you kidding! What if it catches fire? Who is responsible? Besides, there is no sound, the actors are shouting, and the audience can't hear it! ”

Director Liu ignored him, and still said to Fan Xiaohui: "This is what the villagers meant, you have all put on makeup, I think you can light a torch and sing, maybe you will call while singing!" ”

Fan Xiaohui didn't make a sound, walked to the front desk, and saw that there were many audience members sitting in the audience, so she turned back to the backstage and said to the director: "It's just the same, in case of fire, we don't take any responsibility." ”

Director Liu smiled and said, "That's nature. ”

Fan Xiaohui instructed the musician to continue beating the gong and prepare for the performance.

Soon, someone lit a few torches, and suddenly the smoke billowed out, choking Fan Xiaohui and the others to cough.

Jiaoyue complained: "Under such conditions, how can you still be in the mood to sing!" ”

Yayun glanced at her and whispered, "We're making money, don't say anything like that." ”

Fan Xiaohui's heart went up and down, and she secretly said to herself: "Just think of it as a rehearsal, just do your best." ”

Although there were three torches in front of the stage, after Fan Xiaohui came on stage, she still couldn't see the other actors clearly, and her throat was uncomfortable with the smoke, so she had no choice but to act hard.

After a show, when I returned to the backstage, I suddenly remembered the underworld in the film and television drama, which is probably similar to this.

Electricity, did not come as people expected, the second half of the play, the torch of the offspring felt a wave of sleepiness, unconsciously dozed, the torch in the hand crooked, baking the canvas of the platform, about two or three minutes later, "boom", fire.

The audience was the first to notice that someone shouted in horror: "It's on fire!" ”

Fan Xiaohui on the stage heard it, was so frightened that she was silent, and hurriedly looked around, and saw that the canvas on the west side was really on fire, and said hoarsely: "Quick!" Come on! It's on fire! ”

After speaking, he took Yayun's hand and ran to the backstage, to find Qing Shui and Changfeng, the two of them refused to leave, and wanted to move the boxes with the outfits, Fan Xiaohui said anxiously: "Human life is at stake, you can buy it again when things are gone, go quickly!" ”

The two listened, and Fang ran out of the stage with Yayun and Jiaoyue.

Fan Xiaohui hurriedly took off her costume and handed it to Yayun, and ran to the stage again, Yayun hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Master, why are you going?" ”

Fan Xiaohui said: "I'll go and see if those musicians run out." ”

Yayun said anxiously: "They are men, and they are strong, they must have run early, the platform is made of canvas, it will be on fire in a while, you must not go in!" ”

Fan Xiaohui broke free of her hand and said, "I know the severity!" After saying that, he still ran towards the stage.

The villagers were in a mess and brought basins and buckets from their homes to put out the fire.

I don't know who shouted: "Water is useless, quickly knock down the platform and bury it with soil!" ”

So, everyone worked together to knock down the platform, and they all shoveled soil to bury it, and sure enough, the fire was quickly extinguished, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Fan Xiaohui was busy looking at the box containing the costumes, and saw that it was a little scorched outside, but it was not burning, so there should be nothing wrong with it, and it could still be used, and the curtain must have been completely destroyed.

After being stunned for a while, I hurriedly went to a few musicians and asked them if they had taken out the instruments, and the musicians all said, "We all brought them out." ”

Fan Xiaohui's heart calmed a little.

At this time, Director Liu came over and said to her with some guilt: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, you see what you have lost, the village will compensate according to the price." ”

Fan Xiaohui said: "Before I have time to take a closer look, the curtain must have burned out." ”

Director Liu said again: "You all go back and rest, I will deal with the rest of the things, it may be delayed for a few days, and I will continue to sing when the new stage is set up." ”

When Fan Xiaohui heard this, she could only do so, so she ordered everyone to go back to rest, and she also went back to her residence with Yayun and Jiaoyue.

There was nothing to say for a night, and the next day, Fan Xiaohui came to the place where the box was stored, opened it to check the line inside, and saw that the place where the costume was folded was blackened, and remembered that Su Ze said that "the costume is a little old", which made it even more dilapidated.

Director Liu was already in the original position, directing people to clean up the venue and prepare to set up the stage again, Fan Xiaohui saw it, and there was a little sadness inexplicably, so she turned her head and walked towards the outside of the village alone.
