Chapter 3 The Opera Troupe

At two o'clock in the morning, on the cement road beside the countryside field dam, a large truck was turning on night lights, and dust was rolling up under the tires, heading towards Fuping Village marked on the sign in front.

The dirt roads in the countryside are not as good as those in the city, and the rear carriage is bumpy. Every time the wheels press onto the stones on the road, they will roar the body, and the dozens of large wooden boxes in the car also make a ping-bell sound.

"I said you guys who do things are not holding some coat boxes! If you don't have to hold on to Sister Ling's expensive cloaks and accessories break, be careful not to eat them!"

After he shouted, several young workers lying not far away were shocked and frightened. Two of them, who had reacted faster, had already climbed up from the straw mat and began to check the situation of the coat box and the combing table.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, we will look good if we didn't touch it." A thin and black young man turned around and said with a flattering smile on his face.

"Well, it's time to get to the place in a while. Everyone cheered me up." After the man finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and leaned against the rear of the car to start vomiting mist.

The two young men in charge of doing odd jobs carefully checked the outfits piled up in the back carriage. They were in a Kun Opera Troupe called Quanfu Ban. It is said that this troupe has a history of more than 100 years. The current opera troupe is Tao Guiquan, who has taken over the Quanfu Ban for more than 20 years. The master of the class has been passed down from three generations to continue the Quanfu Ban until today. Therefore, the troupe is also quite famous in the local county town and is often invited to perform in other cities.

The money paid this time was a remote rural village called Fuping Village. Others said that the headmaster was not willing to take on the job at the beginning. After all, Fuping Village is famously backward in the local area and is far from the county town. There are more than 40 people in the entire group of actors, civil and military fields and miscellaneous people in the Fufeng Class, which is enough to make a comeback just by going back and forth.

But this time, Fuping Village offered a quotation of 50,000 yuan, and asked the Quanfu Class to sing for three days. You should know that 50,000 yuan was a huge sum of money in the early 1990s, and even going to perform in other cities, there had never been such a high price.

Therefore, Tao Guiquan took over the business without hesitation. The crew went to Fuping Village in two batches, responsible for the band in charge of the civil and military field. The handyman set out with props first, was responsible for setting up the stage, and prepared the preparations. The other actors of the troupe would all arrive before noon the next day.

The person who called Wang Hongguang before was named Wang Hongguang, who was about thirty years old. His facial features were eccentric and his voice was rough and loud. When he shouted, his eyes were bright and he was powerful without anger. He was the one in charge of the full-time sang martial artist in the Peking Opera Troupe's Quanfu class.

While Wang Hongguang was smoking, the two young men in charge of doing odd jobs started to communicate quietly.

"Impermanence is not in this car, and it seems that he has been assigned to the identity of a troupe actor."

"That kid has never been lucky. Who knew that this time he was better than us. But then again, the timeline of this mission was set in the early 1990s, which was quite fresh." Jiang Li looked at the white shirt and loose trousers he was wearing. This was the most popular dress for his parents when they were young.

"It's just a little fresh now, and the days ahead are not easy. I didn't see that group of people who have been using us like grandsons from the beginning to now." Lao Yu squatted on the ground with his trouser legs rolled up. This time he played a handyman named Hou Dayong. Because of his appearance, everyone in the troupe called him Monkey.

Jiang Li also plays a handyman named Zhao Rong. They are responsible for groceries in the troupe and have the lowest status. They have to do any dirty and hard work.

Since he and Mo Cai revealed their identities last time, Jiang Li has pulled the other party into the player communication group he created and introduced him to other companions.

In order to quickly get in touch with the tacit understanding so that they can perform tasks together in the future, they decided to choose a copy to form a team. Coincidentally, when Jiang Li went online, he happened to be online when he saw his friend Lao Yugan.

The other party told Jiang Li that he had not been online much because of the school exam a while ago. Almost everyone in the group had done tasks recently, and it was difficult for him to disturb them. When he was about to choose a copy to swipe it alone today, he unexpectedly saw them. After some communication, Jiang Li also invited the other party. After repeated selections, the three of them chose this copy called "Singing Ghost Drama".

Level 3 Mission: Singing a Ghost Drama

Game duration: three days

Number of players: 5

Mission requirements: Players need to follow the Quanfuban Kun Opera Troupe to Fuping Village for a performance for three days. After the performance, they can successfully return to the space. During the mission, they can investigate the truth about the supernatural events that occurred in Fuping Village and get additional points rewards.

"Singing ghost plays, as the name suggests, is a play for ghosts. When I was young, I heard my grandfather say that there was such a saying in the countryside: every day on the seventh and a half lunar month, the ghost gates in the underworld will open, and those lonely ghosts who die in vain will start to find substitutes. At this time, as long as the opera troupe is asked to set up a stage to sing for a few days, the ghosts will be fascinated, focus on listening to the opera, and forget to find substitutes." Jiang Li whispered.

Because his grandfather is a drama fan, he has listened to many dramas with his grandfather since he was a child and has some understanding of the matters in the Liyuan area.

"Hey, this matter is not as weird as your boy said." As the two communicated, another chubby black and strong man came to them and sat down.

The strong man named Zhou Zhifei is responsible for managing the troupe and urging the show. All handymen are also managed by him. Zhou Zhifei is quite friendly. He heard from others that compared with those in the troupe who are less keen and less likely to be used, he is one of the few people with good personalities.

Of course, Jiang Li and the others have noticed each other's approach since the beginning. With the intention of inquiring about the news, the two of them did not avoid it. Instead, they pretended to be ignorant and asked each other: "Why, what Brother Zhou means, isn't that the case?"

"That's not, I don't expect you to know what happened."
