Chapter 102: Spring Fourth in Liyuan
The troupe's business is not doing well these days. Now there are wars everywhere, the north and the south are fighting, although the county has not been affected by the war, but the impact is still there. People are panicking, who has the leisure to watch people sing? The troupe hasn't performed a play for three or four months, and there is no income, so how can they cope with the expenses? Liu Banyue is a successful class owner, and he used to save part of his income every month to cope with the situation like now, but the war has not stopped, the price of food is getting higher and higher, and all the money saved by Liu Banyue has bought food. It's just that the more food is eaten, the less it is, and the war doesn't know when it will end, Liu Banyue can only control everyone's diet. I used to be able to eat dry food three times a day, but now I can only drink gruel three times a day.
Ping An passed by the courtyard and saw Duofu and Duokang practicing the game. They had already performed on stage two years ago, and the four of them gradually took a back seat, giving them most of the performance opportunities. Originally, they had already gained popularity, but who knew that the war suddenly came, and no one came to listen to the play, they could not go on stage, so they could only continue to sing offstage, so as not to lose their skills and singing skills.
Duofu sang Xiaosheng and Wusheng, and Duokang sang Tsing Yi. Duokang's eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, his hands and feet are full of his daughter's softness, Duofu looks handsome, and the two of them look talented and beautiful, as if they are really one-on-one.
Ping An bared her teeth, she always felt that the atmosphere between Duofu and Duokang was weird, as if it was a world of its own, and no one else could insert it. She asked Liu Banyue curiously, and Liu Banyue asked her to leave the two alone. She remembered that Liu Banyue sighed a long sigh after listening to her words and said a word.
"I hope the two of them can support each other until the end."
Ping An said she didn't understand.
Ping An bypassed the two and went to the stage in front. The place where they lived was divided into two parts, behind which was the residence of all the people and a large courtyard for practice, and the back door for entry and exit; In front of it is a stage and a courtyard for watching the play, with a gate for entering and exiting. Although he doesn't act now, Liu Banyue and some people still go to the front every day to stay for a while.
Ping An went around to the front and saw Duo Shou doing somersaults on the platform, and Duo Lu playing with a big knife on the side. One of the two is Wusheng and the other is Wujing, and their skills are the strongest of all.
Duoxi's skills are also good, he is a sword horse, maybe he is tired from training, and he is sitting on the chair below to rest at the moment. Seeing Ping An running to the front, he also said hello to Ping An.
Ping An looked around and didn't see Liu Banyue, and asked Duoxi: "Duoxi, where is my father?" ”
"The head of the class has gone out."
"I'll go find him." After Ping'an finished speaking, he ran out of the front gate.
There are very few people on the streets, and there are very few shops with their doors open. Liu Banyue and Liu Suifeng walked down the street, sighing as they went, their eyebrows tightly locked, worried about the future.
"I don't know when the war will end?" Liu Suifeng said, "The grain we have in reserve can only be eaten for another half a month, and it has not been paid, what will we do after that?" Why don't I take them out of the city to dig wild vegetables? ”
Liu Banyue sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the wild vegetables outside the city have been dug up." ”
There are even more people who don't have money to buy food.
"Aren't we going to starve to death?"
Liu Banyue said: "Let Aunt Li put less rice and more water when cooking porridge, everyone can eat it alive, it should last for another half a month." Alas, I hope that the war will end soon. ”
Liu Suifeng said: "Even if the war is over, it is impossible for grain to come out of thin air, and the price of grain will still rise in a short period of time." ”
Liu Banyue said: "At least the war is over, we can go to a farther place to find wild vegetables to eat, and we don't have to worry about the safety on the road." ”
As long as there is no army, with the skills of the troupe, ordinary robbers and road rage will not be their opponents.
Liu Suifeng recognized Liu Banyue's words and sighed: "I hope the war will end soon." ”
"Dad, second uncle." Ping An called the two behind him.
The two turned back, pausing and waiting for Ping An to run to them.
Liu Suifeng asked, "Ping'an, what are you doing running out?" ”
Ping An said crisply: "I came to find my father, I have something important to tell my father." It just so happens that the second uncle is also there, let me tell you two. ”
"What's important? I have to chase it out. Won't we be able to wait until we get back? Liu Banyue said.
Ping An smiled, stuck out his tongue and said, "People are too excited, they can't wait." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the two of them into a hidden alley one by one, stretched out his head to look out, and after no one else on the street noticed them, he turned around, took out gold and silver bars from his arms, and held them under his hands: "Dad, second uncle, what do you think this is?" ”
"Golden ......"
Liu Banyue and Liu Suifeng were all taken aback, Liu Suifeng almost screamed out, and Liu Banyue covered her mouth with her hand.
"Peace, put them away quickly." Liu Banyue whispered.
"Oh." Ping An took the gold and silver bars into his bosom.
Liu Banyue Fang let go of the hand that was covering Liu Suifeng's mouth.
"Peace, where did you get these two things?" Liu Banyue asked in a low voice.
Ping An said: "I picked it up." ”
"Picked up?" Liu Banyue obviously didn't believe it.
Ping An held his head high and said, "I really chose it." It's in the house where I live. ”
She said the nonsense she had made up on the road: "There were rats in my house, and I went after them and found a hidden rat hole. I went digging a rat hole, and I dug up both. ”
Liu Suifeng and Liu Banyue glanced at each other, they believed Ping'an's words, because Ping'an had been in the yard all the time, and he hadn't gone out in the past few days, so he naturally had the opportunity to steal gold and silver bars. So, she had an adventure to get these two gold and silver bars?
Liu Banyue said: "Maybe the previous owner of the house hid in the house, and was dragged into his mouse hole by the rats." ”
Liu Suifeng laughed: "Let's be lucky since we were young, and only she can dig out a mouse hole and take out a treasure." ”
Ping An also smiled when he heard the praise, and passed the test safely.
"Dad, second uncle, with this money, we can buy food, and we don't have to go hungry anymore."
Liu Suifeng smiled happily: "Yes, yes, buy food." I feel uncomfortable drinking porridge every day, and thanks to you, I can finally eat a dry meal. ”
Liu Banyue also smiled: "Okay, let's buy food." ”
Ping An was so happy that he grabbed Liu Banyue and Liu Suifeng's arms with one hand: "Dad, second uncle, let's go to the grain store, lest it be too late and the price of grain will rise again." ”
"Where will it go up so fast." Liu Banyue said, Ren Ping'an dragged himself, and the three of them strode towards the grain store. They are really afraid that food prices will continue to rise.
