Chapter 107: The Chaotic Opera Stage
After leaving the temple, Liu Yu and his companions continued their stroll through the city. As they walked, they heard the sounds of gongs and drums and cheers coming from afar. Following the sound, they discovered a lively theater.
Liu Yu said excitedly, "Let's go in and watch the show."
Everyone nodded and walked into the theater together.
At that moment, a performance of "The Legend of the White Snake" was taking place on stage. The actors sang, recited, acted, and fought with great enthusiasm. Liu Yu watched with great interest and even hummed along from time to time.
Suddenly, the actor playing Xu Xian forgot his lines, stood frozen on stage, speechless for a long time. The audience below began to jeer, and Liu Yu laughed and shouted, "Xu Xian, where are your lines?"
The actor gave an awkward laugh, made up a few lines, and continued acting.
Then, as the actress playing the White Snake turned around, she accidentally stepped on her skirt and tripped. The audience burst into laughter, and Liu Yu laughed so hard she almost fell over: "That White Snake is so careless!"
Xiaoqing chuckled to herself, "Sister, look, their acting is even worse than ours."
Bai Suzhen smiled and shook her head.
At this moment, the actor playing Fahai appeared. He was supposed to be holding the staff majestically, but he held it upside down, and the head of the staff poked his own face, making him cry out in pain. Liu Yu laughed and slapped his thigh: "This Fahai is too funny!"
The play continued, and when it came to the fight scene, the two actors were supposed to exchange blows and have a great fight, but due to a miscoup, they bumped into each other and fell to the ground.
Liu Yu laughed until tears streamed down her face: "Is this a fight or a wrestling match?"
Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out backstage. It turned out that several actors were arguing over a prop, and the noise was so loud that it could be heard on stage.
The audience turned to look, and Liu Yu shouted, "Stop arguing and focus on acting!"
The actors then quieted down.
But a short while later, another problem arose. When an extra went on stage, he went the wrong way and ended up running offstage, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
Liu Yu said with a smile, "This play is full of unexpected situations."
The performance finally reached its end, and the actress playing the White Snake was supposed to be crying sadly under Leifeng Pagoda, but instead she couldn't stop laughing.
Liu Yu shouted, "White Snake, are you happy or sad?"
The scene ended amidst chaos and laughter.
As Liu Yu and the others walked out of the theater, they were still savoring the amusing scene from earlier.
They continued walking and came across a snack stall. Liu Yu saw a snack she had never seen before and asked the stall owner curiously, "What is this?"
The stall owner said, "This is a new specialty snack called 'Seven-Colored Dumplings'."
Liu Yu bought a serving, took a bite, and found the taste strange.
He said, "Why does this taste so strange?"
The stall owner said, "This is a unique flavor; you just don't know how to appreciate it."
Liu Yu shook her head helplessly and tossed the rest to Xu Xian: "You try it."
Xu Xian took a bite and frowned as well.
They continued walking and saw a circus troupe performing.
An entertainer was performing a ball-throwing act, and the balls kept falling and hitting him on the head.
Liu Yu laughed and said, "This technique is really bad."
Another performer was performing fire-breathing when he accidentally set his beard on fire, which terrified him so much that he rolled on the ground in fright.
Liu Yu laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "This fire play is too intense."
Just then, a child ran over, grabbed Liu Yu, and said, "Uncle, my kite is stuck in a tree. Can you help me get it down?"
Liu Yu said, "No problem."
He climbed the tree to get the kite, but accidentally fell down and landed on his bottom.
The child chuckled to himself.
They continued walking and saw an old man selling antiques at a roadside stall.
Liu Yu picked up a vase and looked at it, saying, "This vase looks quite old, could it be fake?"
The old man said angrily, "This is an ancestral heirloom, how could it be fake?"
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Then sell it to me at a lower price."
The old man said, "No, this is already the lowest price."
The two haggled for a long time, but in the end Liu Yu still didn't buy it.
They came to a lake and saw people fishing.
Liu Yu also wanted to try, so he borrowed a fishing rod and sat by the lake to fish.
After waiting for a long time, no fish took the bait.
He said impatiently, "Are there no fish in this lake?"
The angler next to me said, "Be patient, fishing requires patience."
Just as Liu Yu was about to give up, the fishing rod suddenly moved. He excitedly pulled up the rod, only to find that what he had caught was a broken shoe.
Liu Yu was both amused and exasperated: "What's this all about?"
Everyone laughed.
As the sun gradually set in the west, it was time for Liu Yu and the others to find a place to rest.
They arrived at an inn, and as soon as they entered, they heard a quarrel.
It turned out that two guests had gotten into an argument over a superior room.
One of them said, "I was here first, so this room should belong to me."
Another said, "I'll pay double the price, and this room is mine."
Liu Yu walked over and said, "Stop arguing, let's all give way."
Finally, the innkeeper vacated another room, which resolved the dispute.
After Liu Yu and the others settled into their rooms, the day's exhaustion quickly lulled them into a deep sleep.
Who knows what interesting things await them tomorrow...
