Chapter 16 Menglu's Drama Troupe
After entering the carriage, Lianhua, Liao, Lucy and Menglu sat down on the sofa casually.
"Captain, we all went to watch the show last night. It felt so great. Several scenes were very touching." As soon as he sat down, Li Ao spoke first. Li Ao's words caused Lucy to nod.
"Oh? No wonder you just called my name directly. It turns out that you went to support me last night. Thank you for your support last night and for your liking." Captain Menglu bent over to him slightly and expressed his gratitude. "I will ask you more help in the next few days."
"No problem, no problem. Leave it to us." Li Ao patted his chest and promised, and then thought of a question, "What do we need to do specifically? This task list is not explained in detail." Hearing Li Ao's question, Lucy and Lianhua also looked at Menglu.
"I'm just helping with some miscellaneous work. Our team is a little nervous now."
"Before?" Hearing Meng Lu's answer, Li Ao and Lucy both showed confusion expressions.
"That's right, let me talk about the situation of our troupe first!" Seeing the puzzled expressions of Li Ao and Lucy, Meng Lu's expression was very calm and slowly spoke, "Originally, the leader of this troupe was my adoptive father. I picked it up on the roadside when I was performing. The troupe has brought me with me since I was a child. I grew up in this troupe. I like this troupe very much. The people in the troupe are also very nice to me. Our troupe is a troupe. When we go to a place and perform in a place, we have already gone to many places, and most of the eastern continent have been traveling all over.
Everyone likes to watch our dramas." Meng Lu smiled happily, very good. But after a while, tears flashed in her eyes, "More than a year ago, my adoptive father passed away because of overwork! He wanted me to become the leader of this drama troupe during his lifetime, and I agreed, but due to age and experience, I didn't know how to manage a drama troupe well at the beginning. Our performances often had problems. The new members and some older members also chose to leave one after another. I didn't blame them, because the problem really lies with me. In the end, I only left it.
Now, there are fewer people in this group of less than 10 people. With fewer people, we perform less. In this way, our funds are not as sufficient as before, and we can only make a living. But everyone has no complaints. I am very grateful to them. In order for the troupe to continue to survive and to make the troupe left by my adoptive father to do better, I must be strong. So we planned to participate in the three-year drama festival in Oppa Town. If we can get a ranking in the drama festival, our problem will be solved. On the contrary, if we can't get a ranking..." Meng Lu said here, pausing
I didn't go down and said it, but everyone could guess, "The previous work was divided, and everyone passed it. But now it's getting closer to the Oppa Town Drama Festival, and the members of the group put more energy into performances and scripts, so some of our work is not enough. At present, the 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 post a mission and ask the mercenaries to help." Meng Lu calmed down and finished speaking in one breath. Lianhua and the three of them listened carefully, looking at the girl sitting opposite them, which was a strong girl in her heart.
"Don't worry, Commander Menglu, I'll hand us over. If you have any questions, just tell me the order. We will help you!" After hearing Menglu's words, Li Ao immediately expressed his attitude, and his attitude was even more surprisingly serious. Lucy nodded vigorously from the side.
"Well, then I'll ask you!" Meng Lu bowed slightly to the three of them again, expressing her gratitude.
"Hahaha, don't be so polite." Li Ao quickly waved his hand and said.
The four of them chatted for a while and talked about their schedules in the future. The time gradually approached noon. The members who were originally going out to purchase came back one after another. After the members arrived, Meng Lu introduced the members to Lianhua and the other three, namely: Tizz, who played Prince Eland, Sam, who played Prince Hinte, Uncle John, who played King Philip, Uncle Jack, who played Prime Minister of Philip, and 3 young men in charge of logistics. Everyone had a brief exchange and was almost familiar with each other. Among these people, the one who surprised Li Ao and Lucy was Uncle Jack, who played Prime Minister of Philip, who was a very bad prime minister in this drama, but in real life he was a middle-aged uncle who loved to joke.
Everyone had some lunch and prepared to go on the road. Menglu's Theatre Troupe had two carriages, one for people and daily life, and the other for storing various clothing and props. Originally, the two cars were driven by Uncle John and Uncle Jack respectively, but now this task fell on Lianhua and Li Ao. Out of protection for Lucy, Lianhua decided that he and Lucy would drive the carriage for people, and the prop carriage would be driven by Li Ao. Of course, Li Ao would not object.
After finishing the preparations, Lianhua and Liao drove their carriages toward a village and town respectively.
Originally, Lianhua wanted Lucy to get Lucy into the carriage, but she got Lucy's objection, so now, Lianhua was driving the carriage, and Lucy was sitting next to him.
"Sister Menglu, you're really strong. It's not easy to support a drama troupe by yourself." Lucy said softly with her cheeks. During the chat just now, she knew that Menglu was older than her, so she kindly called Menglu Sister Menglu. Menglu looked at this beautiful boy calling herself like that, but she didn't object.
“…”
"I would have liked to help Sister Menglu win a prize at this drama festival!" Lucy actually didn't expect Lianhua to chat with her. Lianhua's temper had been known for so many days after contact. "So she won't have to work so hard."
“…”
"Hahaha, but thinking about it, we can't help much, we can't act in dramas, so it's good not to make trouble." As he said this, Lucy stuck out her tongue and laughed.
"..." Lianhua didn't say anything, but turned to look at Lucy.
Unexpectedly, Lianhua would look at her, and Lucy suddenly became a little unnatural. "That. I..."
"We will help." Lianhua interrupted Lucy, and after saying that, she turned her head back and continued to look at the road ahead.
"Will we help?" Lianhua's words made Lucy a little confused, but then she thought, aren't we just helping now? As long as we do our job well, we are helping them. Lucy secretly scolded herself "so stupid". After thinking it through, Lucy nodded heavily at Lianhua, "Yeah!"
Since they started rushing in the afternoon, they did not arrive at a suitable village that night, so they could only spend one night in the wild.
Although the season has not yet fully entered autumn, the wind at night is a bit cool. Everyone raised a bonfire next to the carriage. The supper is the bread purchased by the troupe members at noon and the wild vegetable soup made by Lianhua locally. The delicious wild vegetable soup with dry bread is very ordinary, but everyone eats it with relish. While marveling at Lianhua's skills, Lucy drank two bowls of wild vegetable soup. After drinking it, she burped cutely, and touched her slightly bulging belly with satisfaction, which was quite a bit of a stunning feeling. Liao even exaggeratedly drank 6 bowls, and she was still complaining about why Lianhua didn't show her skills before. At that time, Lianhua naturally ignored him.
After dinner, the troupe members gathered around the campfire to play. After discovering the problem, they commented, discussed and communicated with each other. Lianhua, Liao and Lucy kept sitting quietly watching, and even Liao, who loves to talk, kept quiet.
The night is getting deeper...
