I have a Qiankun Ring

Chapter 356 Big Drama

After the giant turtle heard what Li Wen said, he suddenly felt that something was going on, so he asked anxiously: "Tell me carefully and listen."

Li Wen didn't say anything but looked at the silver coins in the book box in a daze.

With the sound of the door being pushed open, a thin-looking man walked in. The sound of the door opening interrupted Li Wen's thoughts.

"Master Shi!" The man saluted Li Wen.

Li Wen looked at the other person and found that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Who are you?"

The thin man slowly walked up to Li Wen's desk and said softly: "Master Shi, I am from the theater troupe that boarded the boat from the last ferry. I heard that Master Shi can help write letters home. I'm sorry to bother you."

After hearing this, Li Wen suddenly remembered that after entering the Qing Kingdom from Longbei Kingdom, the passenger ship he was on stayed at the first ferry he encountered for about two hours to replenish supplies on board.

This time a lot of people got off the ship, but also a lot came up. The one that impressed Li Wen the most was that a whole circus troupe boarded the ship to go elsewhere.

And men are the people in the troupe.

Li Wen nodded: "How do I write a letter home?" After saying this, he picked up the brush and dipped it gently on the inkstone.

The man dictated it word for word, and Li Wen wrote according to the man's meaning. If he encountered any awkward wording, Li Wen also helped to correct it, which made the man thank him profusely.

After a while, Li Wen put the paper full of words into the envelope and handed it to the other party solemnly.

"Thank you Mr. Shi. I have been traveling all over the country for so many years. This is the first time I have met a scholar like Mr. Shi. He doesn't mind our humble birth and is willing to help us write family letters."

Li Wen smiled lightly when he heard this: 'It's just business! ’

The thin man also smiled, took out some silver coins from his pocket, put it on the table, and slowly retreated.

The moment he was about to open the door, he seemed to remember something. He turned to Li Wen and said, 'Master Shi, our troupe will be singing a play tonight. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. ’

Li Wen nodded: "I must go!"

After hearing Li Wen's words, the thin man nodded excitedly.

Looking at the closed door, Li Wen began to clear the table. Today's work of helping people write letters home was over, and the thin man was the last one.

Opening the bookcase and pouring out dozens of taels of broken silver, Li Wen weighed it, smiled slightly, and put it into his arms.

"Sometimes I wonder if you were short of money before you started practicing. In our eyes, you treat money like dung as treasure." The giant turtle's voice sounded again.

Li Wen took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it in front of his eyes and said, "Don't you really want to know what is in what I just said?"

The giant turtle was instantly intrigued by Li Wen: "Speak quickly, I am really irritable staying in this river, please come and relieve my boredom."

"Yeah...but I don't want to tell you!"

"Your uncle!" The giant turtle was furious. In an instant, the entire river surged, and even the boat began to fluctuate.

"Did it hit something? Why is the ship so bumpy?" The huge fluctuations shocked the people on the ship and made them confused.

————

Night fell, and there were fishing fires on both sides of the river, but the lights on the deck were brightly lit, and people were standing on the fifth floor of the building.

There was a buzz of people and exchanges. Li Wen stood among the crowd and stood on the second floor looking at the top of the deck.

At this time, he was holding a wine gourd in his hand, and the wine in the gourd was exchanged for the silver he spent writing letters to others during the day.

"The Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach flowers in exchange for wine money. You are so elegant!" the giant turtle mocked.

Li Wen smiled, raised the gourd in his hand and gave a slight salute to the dark river water.

At this time, many people recognized Li Wen and came over to say hello. During these days on the ship, Li Wen helped many people write letters, and the fee was not expensive, so everyone respected him very much.

Li Wen smiled at everyone who came to say hello.

In fact, Li Wen felt very relaxed during these days on the ship. This group of mortals were forced to make a living and were running around all day long. Compared with those high-ranking monks, it seemed much simpler.

During Li Wen's time with them, he didn't have so many worries.

"Look, the troupe is about to start singing!" someone on the first floor deck said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy building suddenly became quieter. From the second floor upwards, the floors that provided for monks and wealthy businessmen were also full of people.

I saw a man with a painted face taking the lead to enter the center of the venue. He first gave a salute to everyone around him and then said softly: "Today, our troupe is grateful to the ship owner for allowing our troupe to sing here. I also hope that all of you who have money will do so." If you have money, you can support yourself."

After saying that, he clasped his fists again and slowly retreated.

Then there was the sound of a suona, followed closely by the sound of intensive drums.

A woman in costume slowly walked into the arena, opened her mouth and began to hum softly.

"I know this scene. It's about a woman named Xiu Niang who met a scholar named Ma Lou. The two fell in love at first sight. However, Xiu Niang's father disliked the poor and loved the rich and did not allow the two to be together, so Ma Lou In order to marry Xiu Niang, she decided to take the scientific examination. After knowing this, Xiu Niang secretly gave Ma Lou her savings. "

Li Wen listened to the introductions of the people around him and looked at the actors who were singing in the field.

"Three months after Ma Lou went to Beijing to take the exam, a rebellion broke out in the country and the capital city where the exam was being held was conquered. Ma Lou's life and death were unknown. When Xiu Niang found out, she cried all day long. Later, the war spread to where Xiu Niang was. Xiu Niang's father was killed by the rebels to protect her, and Xiu Niang fled to the mountains."

Li Wen watched the people in the scene and knew the rest of the story.

Xiu Niang lived alone in the mountains for three years and knew little about the outside world. When the rebels conquered the capital, Ma Lou followed the royal team to escape and left the capital.

Later, Ma Lou successfully became the commander of the rebellion with his outstanding ability, and led the court army to quell the rebellion. After hearing that Xiu Niang was hiding in the mountains, he went into the mountains alone and finally found Xiu Niang to create a good story.

Although Li Wen thought this story was a bit old-fashioned, in the current atmosphere, it also has a different style.

As the last scene of Ma Lou finding the embroiderer ended, everyone on the scene cheered, and many people took out silver and threw it on the stage. Even the monks standing on the upper floors were moved by this scene and donated generously.

However, what they threw was not silver but pieces of spiritual stones.

The relationship between mortals and cultivators in Qing Kingdom is not like that in Xinjing Kingdom, where they do not meet each other, but they have a deep communication.

Although mortals cannot use the spiritual stones, they can exchange them for the silver they need, and the exchange rate is very amazing.

After seeing a cultivator throwing out spiritual stones, everyone in the troupe showed joy.

"Thank you all!" The troupe leader also came out at this moment, clasping his fists to the surroundings and upstairs.

"Next, we will perform a juggling show for everyone, please wait and see."

Hearing that there was a juggling show, many people instantly became interested and chose to continue waiting despite the late night.

The whole boat was very lively.
