The news that An's family invited a theater troupe to perform in an opera spread throughout several surrounding villages in just one day. People who liked theater were all happy. At dawn, they would carry a bench with a few thick flour cakes and join other people.

Walk towards Hu'an Village.

Qingshan Village is not far from Hu'an Village. You can take a boat to the opposite side and walk about two minutes to get there. If you don't take a boat, you have to walk around Qinghu Lake for an hour.

The village chief's family does have a boat, but the boat is too small and can only accommodate four people. Even if the village chief's family is willing to ferry people, hundreds of people in the village don't know how long it will take to ferry them, so they might as well walk around Qinghu Lake to Hu'an Village.

Yesterday, Qin Xiaoxiao shouted that she was going to Hu'an Village to watch a play. However, today the adults had prepared breakfast, including the multi-grain steamed buns for lunch. She still stayed in the warm quilt and refused to get up. Until Dabao took her

The cold washcloth was placed on her face to drive away the lazy and sleepy people.

Just after breakfast, someone shouted outside. After the Qin family fed the chickens, rabbits, dogs and sheep, they locked the three doors and set off with a few benches on their shoulders.

There are only a few people like the Qin family who go out with their whole family. Most families don't worry about their livestock and choose to take turns to watch the opera in Hu'an Village. Anyway, the opera troupe will sing in Hu'an Village for three days, so they don't worry about not being able to see it.

The winding path has no end in sight, carrying crowds of people talking and laughing. Half-grown children chase each other, attracting laughter from adults from time to time. The mountains that have been silent for half a winter seem to suddenly become vivid.

Get active.

This was Qin Xiaoxiao's first time to do the same thing with so many people. Looking at the happy smiling faces, she was so excited that she kept chattering along the way.

Seeing her happy look, others didn't feel their feet were tired.

Zhao Xiuxiu fell behind the Qin family and still couldn't stand Qin Xiaoxiao's smiling face. She wished that the day after tomorrow would come soon to confirm Qin Xiaoxiao's suspicion that changing someone's fate against fate would bring disaster to herself. In this way, maybe there would be a way to restrain her.

Ability, don't worry about her doing harm to you.

After walking for more than an hour, the Qin family arrived at Hu'an Village. Without asking, the group followed the babbling opera sounds to the rice field in Hu'an Village.

At this time, the rice field was full of people, and all they could see were black heads. Someone made a rough estimate, and there were about two thousand people. It was still early, and more people would gather here later.

There were so many people watching the show that the better seats had already been taken by people who had arrived earlier. The Qin family had to go around with their benches to find suitable seats.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Qin Xiaoxiao was held by Qin Shan. He saw the female actor in exquisite costumes on the stage at a glance, and was amazed: "That sister is so beautiful!"

Qin Shan laughed loudly: "She may not be my sister."

"It's my sister. Only my sister looks good when she wears clothes like this!" Qin Xiaoxiao still didn't know what cross-dressing was, so she said with certainty: "Dad doesn't look good when he wears clothes like this."

Qin Shan couldn't laugh or cry: "Dad is a man, so of course it doesn't look good wearing such fancy clothes."

"Yes, men's clothes don't look good." Qin Xiaoxiao patted her father's thick shoulder with her little hand, and said with a smile: "If my sister wears clothes that look good, then she is my sister."

Qin Shan: "..."

Can't refute.

Seeing Qin Shan deflated, the others couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Chuan got carried away for a moment and said loudly to Zhao Cao'er: "Fortunately, Xiaoxiao's brain is not like that of elder brother, otherwise my sister-in-law would be worried to death."

Before Zhao Cao'er could nod, Qin Shan kicked Qin Chuan on the butt: "Your brain is better than mine. When dad and I taught you a lesson, we didn't see you using your brain to escape a beating."

Being kicked on the butt in public, Qin Chuan was so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to rush forward and fight with his elder brother, so that he could see the situation when he would teach him a lesson in the future. However, he did not dare to do this and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Not mentioning the lawsuit between the two brothers, the group walked around the rice field but couldn't find a good seat, so they sat at the back of the crowd with people from the village. This place was far away from the stage, and you had to stand up to watch it.

When I got to the stage, I could clearly hear the singing and opera sounds.

Everyone was very satisfied and sat down to listen to the play quietly. A few old theater fans were listening and tapping along, humming a few lines from time to time. Even if they didn't hit the right tune, they still enjoyed it.

Compared with the adults who listened with great interest, the children who did not know anything about opera kept wiggling their butts back and forth as if they were sitting on the tip of a needle after the novelty wore off, and they groaned and made noises to go somewhere else.

Place to play.

Qin Xiaoxiao was no exception. She was pestering Mr. Qin and the others to go somewhere else to play and then come back after playing for a while.

Dabao and the others could not sit still for a long time. After Qin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, he immediately said that they would go play somewhere else together and that they would take a good look at her.

The adults were very relieved about Dabao and let them go after a few words of warning.

Zhao Xiuxiu didn't like to listen to the opera either. When she saw Qin Xiaoxiao and the others leaving, she followed them quietly while the Qin family wasn't paying attention, hoping to strike up a conversation with Qin Xiaoxiao.

Seeing that the brothers and sisters were discussing how to go to the stage and see what it looked like behind the stage, they deliberately walked up and said: "The stage is divided into front and back. The front is for singing, and the back is for singing and dressing up.

It was separated by a curtain in the middle."

Dabao turned his head and frowned when he saw it was her: "Why are you following us and eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Zhao Xiuxiu said disdainfully: "This land is not yours. I can walk wherever I like. You guys spoke so loudly that anyone along the way could hear you as long as you are not deaf. I didn't eavesdrop."

"You..." Dabao's face turned red with anger, and he simply ignored her. While holding the hands of Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao and walking forward, he told Erbao and Xueya: "Keep your eyes peeled and don't let her get close.

younger sister."

"Yeah, I know." Xueya knew that Zhao Xiuxiu hated Qin Xiaoxiao, and thought that Dabao was worried about Zhao Xiuxiu hurting Qin Xiaoxiao, so she nodded and agreed.

Erbao was a little confused. He wanted to ask his eldest brother why, but when Xue Ya nodded, he didn't ask any more questions. He just thought that Dabao didn't like Zhao Xiuxiu playing with Qin Xiaoxiao.

The brothers and sisters ignored Zhao Xiuxiu who was following them, and jumped to the back of the stage. They secretly opened a corner of the curtain and saw that what Zhao Xiuxiu said inside was indeed a few Laqu'er.

People can't help but want to see what the place where they put on makeup and change clothes looks like.

"Brother, I want to see it too, I want to see it too~" Qin Xiaoxiao was not as tall as the stage. Even when she jumped up, she couldn't see what was going on inside the curtain, so she couldn't help but ask Dabao for help.

"Stop jumping, think you are a rabbit!" Dabao smiled and nodded his sister's forehead, put his hands under her armpits and picked her up, asking Erbao to lift a corner of the curtain for her to see.

enough.

Qin Xiaoxiao stretched her neck and peered through the gap, only to meet a pair of red eyes: "Ah——"

The little girl was so frightened that she screamed. Her little head suddenly retracted and hit Dabao's chin. The pain made Dabao burst into tears.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Dabao didn't bother to check whether his chin had been knocked crooked. He quickly put his frightened and crying sister on the ground and asked her how she was doing.

"Eyes, ghost eyes!" Qin Xiao couldn't help but shrink into Dabao's arms, tremblingly pointing at the curtain: "There are a pair of red ghost eyes there!"

Dabao was also startled when he heard the red ghost eyes at first, but when he thought that there were so many people there in broad daylight, he would not dare to come out even if there was a ghost, so he hurriedly comforted the frightened little cousin: "You are wrong.

, no ghost eyes.”

"Woo, those are ghost eyes, so red~" Qin Xiaoxiao cried with snot and tears: "If it sees me, it will definitely catch me and eat me at night, it's so scary~"

Seeing that his sister was really frightened, Dabao regretted it and blamed himself for not telling her ghost stories before: "There are really no ghost eyes. If you don't believe me, let Erbao help you take a look."

I never thought that Erbao would be unreliable at the critical moment, so he shrank directly behind Xue Ya and said with trembling tongue: "Brother, I, I don't dare..."

Dabao was so angry that he almost pulled his unreliable younger brother over and spanked him. But now was not the time to teach his younger brother a lesson, so he asked Xue Ya to go over and watch.

"Brother, you should see for yourself, I'm scared too." Xue Ya is a little more courageous than Er Bao, and she is just as worried about ghosts and ghosts in her heart as Er Bao, so she doesn't dare to lift the curtain and look.

"Brother, let me see, I want to see~" Sanbao, who was comforting his little cousin, thought that his brothers and sisters were afraid of seeing ghost eyes, so he suppressed his fear and shouted to help his little cousin look to prove that there were no ghost eyes.

"No, you can't see it." Dabao was worried that Sanbao would be frightened again, so he didn't respond to his plea. Erbao and Xueya looked at the helpless two and were speechless for a while, so he had to say to Qin Xiaoxiao, who was crying even harder:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, brother, go over and take a look."

As he said that, he pulled his sister aside, opened a corner of the curtain and looked inside. It turned out that there were still only a few people playing music, and there were no ghost eyes at all as his sister said.

After Dabao finally coaxed Qin Xiaoxiao, Zhao Xiuxiu came over and said with pretense of worry: "Only you can see the ghost's eyes. Is that ghost only targeting you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao burst into tears instantly: "Brother, the ghost, the ghost is going to eat me. It will crawl onto the bed at night and eat my feet first, and then my hands and hands. Wow..."

Dabao yelled: "Zhao Xiuxiu, if you dare to say one more damn thing, I will slap your mouth to pieces!"

After that, he picked up Qin Xiaoxiao who was crying out of breath, gave Zhao Xiuxiu a hateful look, and left quickly, fearing that if he continued to stay, Qin Xiaoxiao would be scared out of his wits.

Now it was Zhao Xiuxiu's turn to jump in anger. She glared angrily at Dabao's back and chased after him, thinking of various ways to torture him, imagining him kneeling down to beg for mercy, and regretting speaking to her just now.

"Yingge, what are you doing squatting here?" Behind the curtain, a female actor in a niche costume looked at the person squatting beside the curtain and asked doubtfully. Seeing the smile on his lips, she became more and more curious:

"Did something good happen to you?"

The man named Yingge stood up and saw that he was not as tall as the female actor, but he was graceful, graceful and very charming. Even the woman felt ashamed when she saw him.

That's right, Yingge is a man, and his double role as a female lead has attracted the attention of the whole audience. He is a veritable pillar in the theater troupe.

As if she had thought of something funny, the smile on Yingge's heavily made-up face became brighter: "I saw a few funny children, so I teased them a lot."

The actress covered her lips and chuckled: "With your naughty temperament, you must have made other children cry! You are the same, you are not afraid of the elders coming to accuse you."

Yingge adjusted her headgear that was slightly out of place, but didn't care: "These days are very boring, how can we not have some fun ourselves?"

The female actor looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and whispered: "Just bear with it a little longer, the class leader will let you go in two years, and then you will be able to marry and have children like ordinary people."

Go live the life you want."

As if she heard a big joke, Yingge's lips curved into a sarcastic smile: "Maybe!"

When the female actor saw this, she was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard someone shouting in the dressing room next to her. She said a hasty word to Yingge and left in a hurry.

Yingge stood motionless behind the curtain, with something faintly falling in her eyes with red eye makeup.

"Sister, I heard that the An family's house is big and beautiful. Can my brother take you there to take a look?" In order to divert his sister's attention and make her forget about the ghost eyes behind the curtain, Dabao tried his best to coax her: "

An’s koi are also beautiful, maybe they’ll let us in and have a look!”

"Yes, really?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked with tears in her eyes, sobbing: "The opera troupe was invited by the An family. An, will the An family hide a lot of ghost eyes?"

When Dabao saw his sister holding on to the ghost eyes, he was so worried that he almost went bald: "Sister, there are no ghost eyes. It's because you're seeing the devil."

"Yes, yes, the ghost eyes are red." Qin Xiaoxiao believed that what she saw was the ghost eyes, and unexpectedly remembered Zhao Xiuxiu's words to threaten her: "The ghost eyes are staring at me, it must be

Seeing how good-looking I am, I want to eat me, woohoo~"

After hearing this, Dabao almost knelt down in front of his sister: "You are good-looking, but he is reluctant to eat you! My brother is ugly, and he will eat him!"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Dabao's face carefully, tilted his head to think, and suddenly cried louder: "Big brother is so ugly, the ghost eyes will lose their appetite, and they will still eat me, wuwu~

"

Dabao staggered and told himself desperately: Sister, this is my sister, you can't throw it away, you absolutely can't throw it away - ah ah ah, I can't bear it anymore, he doesn't want this kind of sister who is hurting his heart!

Just when Dabao was hesitating on the verge of abandoning his sister, an inconspicuous carriage drove towards him, followed by two guards on the left and right.

Only the richest An family in these ten miles and eight towns had a carriage. When Dabao and the others saw it, they were inevitably surprised and stared at the carriage with their eyes motionless.
