Chapter 16 The Rivers and Lakes Are Far From Here (Second Update)

After Luo Ning paid homage to Luo'an, took a bath and changed clothes, he could only take care of the seven actors.

At this moment, the seven actors sat quietly outside the courtyard with respectful expressions.

Two children, one on the left and one on the right, stood in front of the gate gods in the small courtyard, confronting Xiao Hei who was not far away.

They squeezed flattering smiles at Xiao Hei, revealing the gaps in their teeth that had been blackened due to the tooth replacement period.

Although they are young, the hard life of going to the rivers and lakes to sell operas has made the two children understand the ways of the world.

"Engong is here! Hello Engong!" When the two children saw the handsome young man come out, they immediately became energetic.

The five adults also stood up together, knelt down and saluted Luo Ning, "I've seen you benefactor!"

"If it wasn't for the help of benefactor, the little ones would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire, and there would be no bones left!"

"The kindness of a benefactor is like rebirth, and the little ones can't repay even if they are smashed to pieces!"

"Your benefactor is above, the young ones kowtow to benefactor, may benefactor's career will go straight to the top, and you will be a prince forever."

"Benefactor Yushu is facing the wind, young and talented, really rare in the world, unparalleled in the world..."

Obviously rehearsed, everyone's words of thanks are skillful and neat, just like lines.

Don't look at them as actors looked down upon by the society, but when it comes to speaking, they are full of drama after all, and they are much more elegant than ordinary people.

The two little ones knelt at Luo Ning's feet like monkeys, kowtowing their heads in gratitude.

Luo Ning glanced at the seven people, and said with both hands: "Everyone get up! I have a strange temper, and I don't like people kneeling in my life!"

"The benefactor is right, but you don't need to flatter me!"

"Go into the courtyard and talk! Don't kneel!"

Ling Daozhu received the wishes of the seven again.

Luo Ning turned around and walked back to the small courtyard, sat upright on the stone bench of the grape arbor, wearing a green shirt with the air of a nobleman.

Li Dingguo and Su Xian sat on both sides of him, one on the left and the other on the right, and his younger sister Luo Li smiled and pressed his shoulders.

Xiao Hei crouched at his feet.

"Miss rest, little one, come here." The two little actors said to Luo Li obediently, each of them shared a shoulder, and just pressed it on Luo Ning's shoulder.

Needless to say, children are soft and comfortable when pressed.

The five adults stood in front of Luo Ning respectfully, with a look of giving orders.

At the ceremony, there is nothing wrong with it!

Luo Li was really sensible, even though she knew that these seven people regarded her brother as a benefactor, she still ordered tea politely, one bowl for each of them.

Several people suddenly showed flattered looks.

"Oh, how dare you trouble me, miss! We're being rude!"

"I can't do it! Don't dare to do it!"

Holding a cup of tea, Luo Ning said calmly, "I've seen you too. I'm just a small farmyard, not a deep house. There are not so many rules. You carry it...I look tired."

Everyone looked relieved and relaxed a lot.

Luo Ning continued: "To save you, if you don't build a seven-level pagoda for victory, you just want peace of mind. Human life is at stake. If you can save it, you can save it. Thank you and kneel down, so please."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them, a tall and thin young man cupped his hands and said, "Grandfather, we were originally actors from Zhao's troupe, but now the troupe master and actors have all run away, leaving only seven of us."

"The little ones think about it, if your benefactor loves drama, you still want to act, and the little ones will follow your benefactor, go through fire and water, and put a knife in every corner!"

"Little ones are lowly. They are all hard-working peasants. They only learned opera because they lost their land and suffered disasters. It's not easy to eat this cheap Jianghu meal!"

"It's not easy... It's still a meal. Apart from acting on stage, we don't know how to make a living."

"If Mr. En doesn't want to accept it, the younger ones won't have that blessing. They can only break up and live in the rivers and lakes. Maybe one day they will die in the wilderness and bury their bones in a foreign land..."

"At that time, I can only be a cow or a horse in the next life, and I will repay my benefactor with a grass ring."

Said, such a young man, began to wipe tears.

Several other people also touched their hearts, and their expressions were extremely bleak.The two younger ones also choked up, and their little faces twitched, making Luo Li's heart ache a little.

"Okay." Luo Ning put down his teacup, "Don't act this in front of me, I can't stand it."

On the other hand, he usually runs the Ling Dao Pearl secretly to identify the qualifications of the seven people.

"If you say that you can't speak, you are very good at speaking. You don't eat this bowl of food for nothing."

"If you want to say that you can talk, you just say that actors are cheap and low-spirited!"

"I'm also an actor now, is it possible that I'm also a lowly man? Even if I am, can I admit it?"

"Oh, I don't dare!" Everyone knelt down together, "Grandpa really misunderstood, how dare you have such a meaning? As long as you only have a little thought, keep the five thunders!"

"Get up and talk!" Luo Ning waved his hands, "You have to remember, actors are not cheap! When others say that, actors can't admit it!"

"Who says acting is not the way? As long as actors have righteousness in their hearts, perform loyalty and justice, and castigate evil and ugliness, it is enough to promote good and punish evil, change customs, and cleanse people's hearts, so as to educate the world and be virtuous!"

"A well-acted play is as good as a sage's book!"

"If you think you're inferior, belittle yourself, and lack that three inches of righteousness in your heart! Just for a few taels of silver, how can you not be servile and coquettish, bow your knees in front of power and gold and silver, and flatter yourself?"

His words were like golden iron and yellow bells, everyone felt their ears were deafened, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.

Don't say that a few actors are like enlightenment, even Li Dingguo and Su Xian feel very reasonable.

Luo Li's eyes were full of splendor, she never thought that her brother could tell such a truth.

If this is the case, then who would say that actors and actresses are despicable?

"Well said!" Suddenly a clear and bright voice came, "Luo Zhiyuan's high-level remarks today, I have sympathy for me!"

As soon as the words fell, Cai Ji, who had a noble demeanor, came out proudly, clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Zhiyuan, it's hard for you to hide it for my brother, and you practice secret techniques to enter the Tao without saying a word, why do you keep it secret?"

Behind him followed a graceful girl with a cicada bun, it was Cai Quan'er.

Cai Quan'er also smiled at Yan Yan and said, "Brother Ning, congratulations."

When a group of actors saw the master Jinshi kissing, they hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but when they thought of Luo Ning's words, they didn't kneel down, they just bowed their hands.

"Meet the Master Jinshi!"

"Meet Mr. Cai!"

Cai Ji saw that everyone dared not kneel, although he was unhappy, his face did not show the slightest.

In fact, he dismissed Luo Ning's words just now.

To educate the world?If the play is done well, it won't lose to a sage?

Ridiculous!Not ashamed!

But he would never argue with Luo Ning about this.

First, he doesn't want to play the piano to the cow.Second, he needs Luo Ning's cooperation in the future.

If Luo Ning uses it well, it will be of great help to his career.

"Brother Xuanshu, let's go in and talk."

Luo Ning knew that Cai Ji had something to say to himself.

Cai Ji nodded, and entered the room holding Luo Ning's hand as usual.

After a long time, Luo Ning and Cai Ji came out.

I don't know what was said in it, but the expressions of both of them are full of joy.

Luo Ning looked at the group of actors and directly announced: "I promise to accept you, from today onwards, you are members of Luo's class!"

"From now on, I will be the class leader of Luo's class!"

"...Luojiaban is determined to tour the world, and my name is 'Luo Tianxia'!"

……

March nineteenth in the first year of Chongzhen.

Luo Ning took Luo Li, Li Dingguo, Su Xian, Xiao Hei, and the seven newly recruited actors, and left Fengye Village together, heading for Lashan County, Lin County.

The luggage was carried by two carriages presented by Cai Ji.

There were two flags on the carriage.

On one side was written the words Luojiaban.

One side is painted with a plum blossom pattern, which is the class emblem designed by Luo Ning himself.

With the ringing of the Luan bell, the freshman Luo's class gradually drifted away.

The villagers shook their heads and sighed.

Nowadays, demons, goblins, mountain thieves and water bandits are rampant. I don’t know how many people go out and never come back. How can there be a hometown.

Cai Ji sent him to the village entrance, saw Luo Ning's back, and said with a complicated expression:

"The rivers and lakes are far away from now on, and the wind and frost will be cold tomorrow. If you go far, you can take care of yourself."

Cai Quan'er looked at the familiar but unfamiliar figure from the back, shook her head and said, "Lingxiu? He still won't be able to get on stage after all."

　The days of Jianghu Tianya began.

　　Are you looking forward to it?
　　Ho ho, all kinds of requests!Good night!
