——

After the troupe came to Meiyu Village early in the morning, they began to build a stage non-stop, which was set up on a vacant lot in front of the temple, which was spacious and empty, and could accommodate more than 100 people.

After a morning of construction, the stage has been built, and the actors will start singing in the evening.

Today, every family in the village has a special early dinner, everyone has eaten dinner early, the men of the family come to the temple with a bench on their backs, the early ones sit in the front, and the viewing position is excellent, and the late ones can only sit at the back and watch from afar.

Tonight, the moon and stars are sparse, the cool breeze is blowing, the stage is full of several large lanterns, and the stage is full of people, and suddenly a "clang" gong sound sounds, indicating that the play is about to start.

Ru Yi and Qian came to the temple with a bench in a hurry, and the good positions in front of them were all occupied, so they had to silently carry the stool to the back of the crowd.

However, the distance at the back is a little far from the stage, crowded with people, and it is difficult to see clearly, and some male villagers actually stand on the stool in order to see the play, completely blocking the view in front of them.

Ru Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know where to put the stool. At this time, in the noisy crowd, there was a faint shout: "Jinhua, Jinhua, Ruyi, come and sit here!?" ”

Ru Yi's eyes swept over the crowd, and at a glance he saw Aunt Wang waving her hand to call them, Qian Shi grinned, glanced at Ru Yi, and said, "Ru Yi goes, let's go to Aunt Wang to sit." ”

Ru Yi nodded and followed Qian to squeeze into the crowd.

Aunt Wang sat alone on the bench, surrounded by people, she waved her hands, smiled and watched the two of them walk towards her step by step.

Qian took a lot of effort to come to Aunt Wang's side, she sat down and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, why are you here alone to watch the play today?" What about Brother Liu and your sons? Why didn't they come? ”

Ru Yi sat down next to the Qian family, looked at Aunt Wang with bright eyes, and called out in a soft voice: "Aunt Wang." ”

Aunt Wang nodded towards Ru Yi with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Hey, those people in my family said that they were tired from work today, so they won't come, so I'm not going to come alone, fortunately, I came early, otherwise I wouldn't even have a good seat." ”

"yes!" Qian answered, his eyes slowly turned to the front of the stage, not far away the stage was full of lanterns, and the bright candle flame illuminated the stage.

At this time, a short man dressed in black and wearing a mask appeared on the stage, and he was seen holding a pen and inkstone, his legs bent, and he performed a silent scene accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums.

She said, "Eh, sister-in-law Wang, which play is this singing tonight?" ”

Aunt Wang replied: "The foreplay is still the same as "Please Eight Immortals", and the main play seems to be called "The Legend of the West Chamber". This "The Legend of the West Chamber" has not been sung in our village? I've heard people say it's pretty good. ”

"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look. After speaking, Qian stopped talking, but focused all his attention on the stage.

The villagers in the audience had their eyes firmly on the stage, and they watched the play very seriously. The foreplay "Please Eight Immortals" is very short, about a quarter of an hour, after the foreplay is sung, the curtain on the stage falls, it is now the intermission, and it is also the time for the actors to hurry up and put on makeup.

Ru Yi felt bored sitting here, so she said to Qian: "Mother, the play hasn't started yet, I'll go outside first, and when the play starts, I'll come and see it." ”

Qian responded: "Okay, it's dark now, then you should pay attention to yourself and don't go too far." ”
