Chapter Seventy-Seven: A New Play Comes Down, and Avril Ilvigne's Personality Returns
"Ladies, which show do you want to watch?" The ticket seller at the Flower Spirit Theater asked.
"Uh......" Serena said back to Hanabi, Rusho, and Kira, "is there anything you'd like to see in particular?" ”
Hanabi said, "Why don't you just watch that "As You Wish, Your Lord." The starring roles are Miss Lomé from the True Spirit Theater and Mr. Logan from the Flower Spirit Theater, so it shouldn't be far behind. ”
The conductor said, "Ladies, just look at this." This play premiered at our Hualing Theater the day before yesterday, and even the people in the royal capital haven't seen it yet. You see, it will definitely become a hit no less than "Forty-Nine Nights". ”
Bought four tickets, and the four walked into the theater. As soon as I entered, I found that the entire theater was almost full, and the popularity was no less than when "Forty-Nine Nights" was first released a few months ago. Judging from the content of their conversations, many people came to brush for the second or even the third time.
Serena thought to herself: What kind of drama is this? Judging from the name, isn't it just a vulgar knight treasure hunting drama? How can there be such a high occupancy rate?
When the glass lights in the theater went out and the curtain slowly opened, Aveline, the secretary played by Lomé, said to the lord of Megan played by Mefante: "Lord Lord, there are three most urgent things now: the flooding of the Luoshui River, the twenty-one counties were affected, the affected population was nearly one million, and people starved to death every day; The lords of the counties had no intention of providing disaster relief, and allowed the people to starve to death, fearing the outbreak of epidemics and civil unrest; Robbers are rampant, robbing passing people and merchants with impunity......"
The four girls realized almost at the same time that this drama was actually about Meiyi.
Oh my God, I originally thought it would be a beautiful mistake to be a great lord, but I ended up facing such a difficult situation! How did he survive? By the way, is this a tragedy or a comedy? Lomé is famous for his tragedies......
The four girls didn't dare to think about it, but continued to watch the drama in fear.
When they saw that Mei Fan had sent twenty-one warriors to send a letter to the twenty-one county lords, asking them to immediately carry out disaster relief, otherwise the lordship would be abolished immediately, Hua Huo's brows were almost twisted, and he muttered softly: "Fool, you offended everyone as soon as you went, what should you do next?" ”
Many of the audience were heartbroken when they saw the grief-stricken inner monologue of Mei Fante after learning of the death of the two messengers—"My warrior, my brother, why did you abandon me so quickly when you left your homeland with me, and you didn't have time to taste the glory I gave you?" ”
When the audience heard the actor who played Meiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Flynn, do everything you can to get the five soldiers who were detained by the robbers back home, don't care about the money, don't care about the shame on your face." Life is the greatest value, keep it in mind and don't let your steps hesitate! As long as it can save the lives of my elves and goblin brothers, what about millions of gold coins? I felt my soul tremble.
The second act, following the first act "Crazy Luoshui River", is "The Gamble of Life". When the lord of the twenty-first county kept stimulating Mei Fante and asked him to gamble with him, the audience present shouted in their hearts: Young lord, don't be provoked, gambling is an act spurned by the goddess, and she will not bless you!
In the center of the stage, eighteen tall lords surrounded the sixteen-year-old Mei Fante in the middle, surrounded by only a few guards from the lord's mansion. And behind the curtain of the stage, countless short knives and spears stretched out, and the audience finally understood what "The Gamble of Life" is!
When Mei Fante won twenty with one face and won all eighteen counties, the theater suddenly resounded with enthusiastic cheers. But soon, when the angry lord shouted, "My guards, rush in and kill all the people in the lord's mansion, and each of them will have a thousand gold coins, enough for you to fill your house with wives and concubines, and enough for you to return to your homeland!" The audience fell into a state of amazement again.
Just as the spears and swords were about to burst into the theater, dozens of elf and goblin warriors suddenly appeared on the wall, shooting arrows with bows and arrows, crushing the lord's guard, and singing in a majestic voice: "We have defeated you, but why is my heart so sad?" We are no longer brothers, ever since you have been against our Great Lord! ”
Mei Fante sang to the trembling lord, "The goblins are not on my side, I don't care. Elves aren't on my side, I don't care. The nobility is not on my side, I don't care. Even if the people are on my side, I don't care. Because I know that the Goddess will always be on my side, I will never be alone and helpless, and I will never lose! ”
After the curtain fell, the long-suppressed audience finally cheered wildly and fell into complete madness, with the voices of "Long live the lord" and "Long live the goddess" one after another.
The third act is "The Floodland".
Hualing Theater and the actors also invested heavily for this play, and specially invited the top sound and sound team of this era for the stage effect, and used the top painters to paint more than ten huge background cloths, so as to give people an immersive feeling.
There are no lyrics in this scene, it is all plain dialogue, mainly about the visit of the Grand Lord of Mefan to the counties to inspect the disaster relief situation. Seeing that with the full efforts and extensive mobilization of the Lord's Palace, food and improved seeds have reached the hands of the victims, and countless victims have been saved from starvation, and the audience present felt a little relieved.
Suddenly, the background cloth changed, thunder, rain, and wind roared on the stage, and someone cried: "My daughter fell into the water and was washed away by the water, come and save my child......"
When Mei Fante, who was inspecting, heard this, she shouted: "Which of you can swim, hurry up and rescue the child!" Before anyone answered, Mei Fante patted her head and suddenly realized, "I don't sleep for a few days, I'm almost stupid!" I will do it myself! ”
After saying that, Mei Fante jumped into the turbulent Bailuoshui River in the black clouds, lightning and heavy rain in the sky, and disappeared from the stage.
The fourth act is "Back to the Beginning", which tells some of the daily stories of Lord Mevante when he first arrives in Crystal City. Standing at the door of the study, watching the beautiful moonlight girl Crell leave, Aveline, played by Lome, said, "Lord Lord, if you like her, just leave her behind, why torture yourself so much?" Why don't you make your life more comfortable? ”
Mei Fante scratched her head and said, "If the lord is too comfortable, the lord will be uncomfortable." Ever since it was feudalized as a Crystal City, I have been determined to build a Crystal City where everyone is free and equal. In the Crystal City, everyone can have their own fields, their dwellers have their houses, and live a life free from want. I don't plan to think about personal issues until there is progress on this goal. ”
He returned to his seat, looked up to Aveline, who was standing beside him, and said, "Aveline, when the flood is over, we will build schools, roads, and factories." In any civilized society, education comes first, and children are the future of our Crystal City. I'm willing to give everything for them......"
At this moment, the background cloth painted with dark clouds, lightning, torrential rain and the Luoshui River fell again, and Mei Fante picked up the little girl from the river amid the roaring thunder and the majestic sound of heavy rain. Almost exhausted, Mei Yi pulled the rope thrown by the warriors and was dragged back to the shore.
Cheers rang out in the theater.
Excited, the mother picked up her daughter, only to find that she was no longer breathing. Heart-rending cries cooled the theater again.
Could it be that this story ends in tragedy?
Just after the people in the theater fell into despair and died, Mei Fante tested the little girl's snort, and said to the people around her: "It's too late to send her to the hospital, if you don't catch the golden ten minutes, she will be severely disabled even if she doesn't die," Which of you hurry up to help her with artificial respiration and chest compressions, maybe there is still salvation?" ”
Serena suddenly felt that the scene in front of her seemed familiar.
Aveline and others said, "None of us have heard of rescue breaths and chest compressions, will you?" Let's get started. ”
"I will, but...... It's a little girl after all......"
"When is it, don't do it! What little boy and little girl, you are the Great Lord, that is, the parent official of the Crystal City and the surrounding twenty-one county lords! Aveline was furious.
Serena stood up uncontrollably, and vague memories began to grow clearer.
On the stage, Mei Fante couldn't take care of it anymore. He said softly, "Little girl, don't give up, please try to return to us, you still have a future", and then unbuttoned the button on the front of the little girl's neck, held up her chin, took a deep breath, and leaned over to kiss her lips......
Serena finally remembered the phrase that often came to her mind, "Avril, don't give up, try to get back to us".
He's not belittling me, he's saving me.
I'm not Serena, I'm Avril.
When Meiyi kissed me on the first day of school, I was still conscious. I didn't know that he was saving me, I felt so ashamed, I thought that I would never see my teachers and classmates again, and I was so scared that I closed myself off. "Avril's" sense of self became weaker and weaker, until she disappeared and became "Serena" completely.
Just like before, when I encounter something that I can't solve, I always push it to Nana.
As soon as she accepted the fact that she was Avril, the memories of being Serena were like a tide, and they completely merged with the memories of being Avril, just like Serena handed her the plant specimens she had collected for a long time to her before she died.
She could clearly feel that Serena, who had been guarding her, was leaving her.
Just as Avril and "Serena" merged, the little girl opened her eyes and coughed violently. The whole stage was in a state of jubilation. Mei Yi jumped to her feet and said: "You also give me a good lesson in first aid, don't let me come to this kind of thing all the time, it will cause me to be misunderstood by others!" ”
In the audience, all the audience burst into laughter, standing up and applauding wildly, and the tears of emotion and shock had not yet had time to wipe away. Only Serena never smiled, and her face was full of tears.
