Chapter 41 "Please-Dragon-God-I!"

Luo Liyu didn't know whether Su Chuo or Lu Pianpian had been perfunctory for a while, then went back to the room and found a booklet under the pillow.

Opening the booklet, there are a few records that have been marked and highlighted.

"...Cai Quan'er sees the difference and wants to change, and she empathizes with another, prompting brother to marry..."

"...Xue Bingyu is dissolute and shameless, and got pregnant with a monk..."

"... City God Xuanqian wants to take me as a concubine..."

"...Mother was taken away..."

"...Xue Bingyu divorced brother..."

"...Ge Laohui will blackmail my brother for 3000 taels of silver..."

"...Xuanqian sent ghosts..."

Looking at these records, her bright face became more and more gloomy, her delicate mouth like a red diamond was tightly squeezed, and her small pink fists were slowly clenched.

Then, she took out a small writing brush and wrote: "March [-]..."

After writing this, I looked up at the door, frowned, and crossed out the record again.

"...This girl is mixed with me, it is not suitable to be written on paper..."

"Don't let her discover the abnormality."

"But Su Chuo is Su Chuo, and Lu Pianpian is Lu Pianpian..."

The cardamom girl came to the yard again, looked at Su Chuo who was drying clothes in the sun, and said with a light smile:
"Sister Su Chuo, I forgot to remind you that you shouldn't be drying clothes today."

"Hee." Su Chuo looked back and smiled, gently brushing his hair, "Why?"

"Because..." Luo Li looked up at the cloudless sky, "Today is an auspicious day, and it will probably rain."

Su Chuo suddenly remembered that today is the day when Luo Jiaban asks the dragon god to rain on the stage.

…………

"The gong is on! The Luo family class is about to start!"

At a quarter of noon, the watchmen in the village yelled with gongs and drums.

The whole Gujing Village knew that Luojiaban, who had lived in the village for six or seven days, finally appeared on the stage to entertain the gods on the auspicious day.

On the stage next to the Wang family's ancestral hall in the village, a magical case has been set up, seven incense burners are lit, and the whole stage is surrounded by smoke.

A pole of divine banners made by the Luo family class was inserted around the stage, making the smoky stage divine case even more solemn.

The seven performers in the Luo family class have prepared costumes, props, masks for Nuo opera, ox horns and sword rings.

"Sacrificing to the Dragon God" is the most common opera of inviting gods in Nuo opera.

Therefore, the mysterious and ethereal performance should be performed.

A cloud chariot dressed up as a donkey cart was parked in the ancestral hall.

The donkey is blindfolded, wearing a sea beast mask, painted with limestone and painted with strange patterns.

The cloud chariot like a paper shed is also painted with multicolored cloud patterns, with copper bells hung and incense cases built in.

According to the script of the Nuo opera, this "cloud chariot" from the world of mortals will carry the ancient and mysterious dragon god, come to the world to watch the dance, and then happily travel the clouds to spread rain.

Luo Ning wore a ferocious dragon mask, and was served by two children, Xiguaner and Luguaner, and put on a coarse cloth robe with dragon scales painted on it.

On each scale, cloud patterns are drawn.

It was obviously a costume made from coarse cloth, but because Luo Ning personally supervised the production, it was very decent.

Suddenly, the "Dragon God", supported by two supporting characters wearing shrimp crowns, boarded the "cloud chariot" and sat upright.

The two supporting characters, wearing silver masks, stood beside the "cloud chariot", presenting a sea-patrol trident remade from hunting forks.

"Woooo..."

"Ding Ding..."

The unique sound of horns and knives in Nuo opera sounded, and the mysterious and strange atmosphere around the stage became more intense.

It was clearly in broad daylight, but it was terrifying.

Just look at the "Dragon God" sitting upright on the "cloud chariot" in the dark ancestral hall, looming in the lingering smoke...

Just know everything is ready.

The eight actors of the Luo family class, the leading role, the supporting role, and the supporting role, are all in place.Although there are too few people, we can still play a show.

Luo Li, the Su brothers and sisters, and Li Dingguo came to the stage early, looking at the stage with bright eyes.

The Su brothers and sisters even brought two jugs of wine.Su Chuo's addiction to alcohol comes to the fore.Since you come to the theater, you must always be prepared.

The villagers, also in twos and threes, came with their families.

The theaters of the village society are all set in open places in the village, such as the sun-drying field, the side of the ancestral hall, the cemetery, and in front of the earth temple.

This is also for the entertainment of ghosts and gods during the social drama, which means that the ghosts and gods of the common people enjoy watching the opera together.

Often at this time, lonely souls and wild ghosts will also be happy.

After lunch, almost all the more than 1000 villagers came to the neighborhood, which was packed to the brim.The surrounding ancestral halls were crowded with people inside and outside.

Crowded, bustling, noisy.

The villagers haven't been this lively for a long time.

The children squeezed into the crowd like loaches drilling into the mud, and it was impossible to guard against them.

Those second-rate old bachelors in the village were not ashamed or shy, joking and deliberately crowded into the crowd of older girls and younger wives, startled and cursed.

Even those old women with deflated chests laughed and cursed and spat shyly.

But many people know in their hearts that today is a day of hard work!
A moment of joy is a moment, and a moment of starvation is a moment!
I don't know how many people will become refugees in the second half of the year.

If it doesn't rain, there will be another apologetic year this year, and if we can't pay taxes, we can only escape famine and tax.

At this time, the performance has not yet officially started, and the villagers are all exchanging greetings and complaining.

"This Luo family team was invited by each of us with seven copper coins, and they also provided food. It is said that it is to entertain the gods and ask the Dragon Lord for rain, but can it really ask for rain? A dead horse is a living horse doctor!"

"Damn! The Dragon King is very busy! From what I've said, it's bustling and bustling, poor and bustling! A lively scene ends with tears."

"Oh, what my brother said is right. The town invited the Wang family troupe to sing an opera. I went to see it. The Wang family troupe has a large number of people, the singing scene is big, and Bao Yin also gave a lot."

"Is the singing good? Good! I sang for a whole day, but did the Dragon Lord give me face? He just didn't!"

"The town spent 30 taels of silver in vain! I can't ask for a teardrop from Lord Dragon!"

Everyone frowned, gasping for air as if they had a toothache, and the mood of watching the play faded a lot.

Many villagers with dove-shaped faces shook their heads and sighed, gloomy.

They seem to have seen the situation of fleeing famine with their families and becoming refugees.

Died on the road, not allowed to go home.

Killed by robbers, harmed by demons and goblins.

Lord Dragon, you should always reward me with rain.

The crops in the field are about to wither.

What's the point of asking a theater troupe to entertain God?But a waste of money.The Dragon King doesn't reward face, and the actor sings to death and it still doesn't rain.

Forget it, the copper coins are all spent, just let everyone pay for a bowl of rice to buy a lot of fun.These opera singers who go to the rivers and lakes to make a living are also pitiful.

"Let's watch the show first. The stage of the Luo Family Troupe is really supernatural. It's smoky."

"That's right. There are few people in Luo's class, and the class leader is young, but he still looks decent."

Just as everyone turned their attention to the stage and were discussing a lot, suddenly there was a loud gong.

It's officially started!

"Woooo-"

"Ding Ding-"

With the sound of the bull's horn and the knife, a long and ethereal voice sounded like a soul-calling:
"Please-Dragon-God-I!"

This soul-like voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and more than a thousand people fell silent immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the peasants played by Alu and Aji appeared on the smoky stage wearing a frowning and wrinkled mask.

"Please-Dragon-God-I!"

The two voices were long and full of sadness.The masks they wear also give people a kind of desolate mystery.

At the same time, the stage instruments also became sad and desolate, with a slow and heavy rhythm, which is obviously Erhuangban style.

Stepping on a sad and slow rhythm, the two sang together in a weeping voice:

"The sky is high and the soil is thick, the people are suffering, and the peasants in the ten miles and eight villages are crying..."

"It's been three months since the first month, and Pan Yupan's eyes are bleeding..."

"Call out to heaven, call out to earth, please invite the powerful Dragon Lord..."

At this point, the two masked men wailed loudly and beat their chests with their hands.Holding a knife and iron ring, he danced in front of the divine case as if he was rushing to the sky.

"Ding ding ding..." Amidst the hasty sound of the swordsman, the sound of gongs and drums also became tense and hasty.

The entire stage was immediately filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

While shaking the swords, the two cried and shouted, "Respectfully welcome the Dragon Lord! Please dragon-god-myself!"

More than a thousand people were immediately attracted by the tense and mysterious atmosphere.

All stared at the stage intently.

At this moment, there was a sudden ethereal copper bell, and a "cloud chariot" slowly appeared on the stage.

The smoke on the stage suddenly became thicker, and the cloud chariot seemed to come through the clouds...

Lord Dragon!
