Chapter 16: Monroe's Repertory Troupe

After entering the carriage, Lianhua, Li Ao, Lucy and Menglu sat down on the sofa casually.

"Leader, we all went to watch last night's play, and it felt super good, and several scenes were very touching. As soon as he sat down, Li Ao opened his mouth first. Li Ao's words caused Lucy to nod for a while.

"Oh, no wonder you just called my name directly, it turns out that you went to the party last night, thank you for your support last night, and thank you for liking. Captain Menglu listened to Li Ao's words, bent down slightly at him, and expressed his gratitude. "I'm going to ask for more help in the next few days. ”

"No problem, no problem. Leave it to us. Liao patted his chest and reassured, and then a question came to mind, "What exactly are we going to do?" Hearing Liao Ao's question, Lucy and Lianhua also looked at Monroe.

"It's just to help with some work, and our team is a little tight right now. ”

"Before that?" Hearing Monlu's answer, both Liao and Lucy had puzzled expressions.

"That's the case, let me talk about the situation of our troupe first!" Seeing the puzzled expressions of Liao and Lucy, Menglu's expression was very indifferent, and she said slowly, "Originally, the head of this troupe was my adoptive father, and I was picked up by my adoptive father on the side of the road after the performance, and my adoptive father took me with him since I was a child, I grew up in this repertory troupe, I like this troupe very much, and the people in the troupe are also very good to me." Our repertory troupe is a wandering repertory troupe, we have gone to many places and performed in one place. Everyone also enjoyed watching our plays. Speaking of this, Monlu smiled happily, it was very good-looking. But after laughing for a while, tears flashed in his eyes, "More than a year ago, my adoptive father passed away due to overwork! He wanted me to become the head of this drama troupe, and I agreed, but because of age and experience, I didn't know how to manage a drama troupe at first, and there were often problems in our performances, and those new members and some old members also chose to leave, and I didn't blame them, because the problem did lie with me." In the end, only the current regiment of less than 10 people remained. There are fewer people, and we have fewer performances, so we don't have as much money as before, and we can barely make ends meet, but the big guys don't complain, and I am grateful to them, in order for this troupe to continue to survive, and to do better for the troupe left to me by my adoptive father, I have to be strong, so we plan to go to the triennial drama festival in Opa Town, if we can get a place in the festival, our problem will be solved, on the contrary, if we don't get a place..." Menglu said this, paused and didn't go down, but everyone could guess, "The previous work, everyone lost a little bit and just passed, but now that it is getting closer and closer to the Opa Town Drama Festival, the members of the troupe are putting more energy on performances and scripts, so some of our work is not enough manpower, and the current state of our group is not very convenient to hire people for a long time, so I thought of going to the mercenary hall to release a task and ask the mercenaries to help." Menglu calmed down her emotions and said a lot of words in one breath, and the three of Lianhua listened very carefully, looking at the girl sitting opposite them, this girl with a strong heart.

"Don't worry, Captain Monlu, leave it to us, if there is anything, you just tell us!" After listening to Monlu's words, Liao immediately said, his attitude was also unexpectedly serious, and Lucy nodded vigorously on the side.

"Well, then please!" Meng Lu bowed slightly to the three of them again to express her gratitude.

"Hahaha, don't be so polite. Liao hurriedly waved his hand and said.

The four of them chatted for a while, chatted about the future itinerary, the time gradually approached noon, and the members who had originally gone out to purchase came back one after another. After the members arrived, Monlu introduced the members to Lianhua and the three of them one by one, they were: Tiz who played the prince of Elam, Sam who played the prince of Sint, Uncle John who played the king of the country of Philip, Uncle Jack who played the prime minister of the country of Philip, and the guys in charge of logistics of the 3 troupes. After a brief exchange, everyone is almost familiar with it. Among these people, the most surprising to Liao and Lucy is Uncle Jack, who plays the prime minister of Philip Country, a very bad prime minister in this play, but in reality he is a middle-aged man who loves to joke.

Everyone simply ate some lunch and got ready to go on the road, Menglu's repertory troupe has a total of 2 carriages, one is used for living and daily life, and the other is for storing various costumes and props. Originally, these 2 cars were driven by Uncle John and Uncle Jack respectively, but now this task falls on the mercenaries, out of the protection of Lucy, Lianhua decided that he and Lucy will drive the live carriage, and the prop car will be driven by Liao Ao, of course Liao will not object.

Driving the carriage, everyone headed towards the next village and town.

Originally, Lianhua wanted Lucy to get into the carriage, but Lucy objected, so now, Lianhua was driving the carriage, and Lucy was sitting next to him.

"Sister Menglu, she is really strong. One person holds up a drama troupe. Lucy whispered with her cheeks on her cheeks. In the chat just now, she already knew that Menglu was older than her, so she affectionately called Menglu Sister Menglu, and Menglu saw this beautiful young man call herself like that, and she didn't object.

“...”

"If only we could help Sister Menglu win an award at this drama festival!" Lucy didn't expect Lianhua to chat with her, Lianhua's temper had already been known to her after so many days of contact. "That way she doesn't have to work so hard. ”

“...”

"Hahaha, but think about it, we can't help much, we can't act in dramas, it's already quite good not to make trouble. At this, Lucy stuck out her tongue and laughed self-deprecatingly.

Lianhua didn't speak, just turned her head to look at Lucy.

Unexpectedly, Lianhua would look at herself, and Lucy suddenly became a little unnatural. "That.I..."

"We'll help. Lianhua interrupted Lucy's words, turned her head back again, and continued to look at the road ahead.

"We'll help?" Lianhua's words made Lucy a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, aren't we helping now, as long as we do our job well, we are helping them, Lucy secretly scolded herself "so stupid", after figuring it out, Lucy nodded heavily at Lianhua, "Hmm!"

Since it was only in the afternoon, they did not rush to a suitable village or town that night, and had to spend the night in the wilderness.

Although the season has not yet entered autumn, the wind at night is slightly cool. Everyone lit a bonfire next to the carriage, and dinner was bread purchased by the troupe members at noon and soup made by Lianhua with wild vegetables found on the spot. The delicious wild vegetable soup with dry bread, although it is very ordinary, but everyone eats with relish, Lucy is amazed that Lianhua still has this skill, drank 2 bowls of wild vegetable soup, and after drinking it, she also had a lovely burp and touched her belly. Liao was even more exaggerated, drinking as many as 6 bowls.

After dinner, the members of the troupe played around the bonfire, commenting, discussing, and communicating with each other. Lianhua, Liao and Lucy have been sitting quietly watching all the time, even Li Ao, who loves to talk.

And just like that, the night grew deeper...
