Chapter 1181 Sachet
Behind the white curtain, figures began to flash, but strangely, apart from the mingling of musical instruments, there was only the crunching sound of feet on the wooden boards on the stage, and there was no human voice. .
It gives people the feeling that the ghost drama is still brewing and has not yet started, as if... waiting.
Soon Jiang Cheng knew what he was waiting for. Burnt figures came to Jiang Cheng with stiff steps, found their own seats, and sat down.
During this process, Jiang Cheng's body tensed up, and he could clearly feel several malicious eyes wandering behind him, wanting to eat him alive.
As the last figure sat down, the curtain made of white linen slowly opened. The next second, a dull gong sounded, and the ghost show officially began!
The flickering lights overhead were all extinguished, but were replaced by many candles.
White candles.
There were probably dozens of them, burning all around at the same time, emitting a frightening light.
With this light, Jiang Cheng noticed that among the seats of the audience tonight, he was the only one leaving a shadow on the ground.
It was indeed a ghost show, and he was the only living person in the audience.
On the rough and crude stage, several people in costumes stood up and sang to the short and rapid drum beats.
Jiang Cheng doesn't listen to plays very much and doesn't understand much. But even so, he can tell that something is wrong with the play, the rhythm is wrong, and there is something wrong with the actors' appearance.
No matter what kind of makeup the actors wear, their faces always have a miserable green color.
At first Jiang Cheng subconsciously thought that these actors were also ghosts, but soon he realized that things were not that simple. Although the actors' eyes were dull, Jiang Cheng could still see the fear in their hearts through their eyes.
Moreover, no matter what actions the actors made, they did not look at the audience. The swords used in fighting were swung very carefully, even awkwardly, and the tip of the sword was never pointed at the audience.
The most important thing is that he found that these actors also have shadows.
It seems that you are right, these actors are also human beings, and they are most likely the unlucky troupe mentioned in the newspaper, the one who was tricked into acting in a ghost show.
No wonder the record in the newspaper ends here. It turns out that what will happen in the second half depends entirely on his performance tonight.
As the ghost show progressed, Jiang Cheng gradually calmed down. He knew that he would not be allowed to spend the night peacefully, and there would definitely be accidents during the performance of the show.
Suddenly he caught something from the corner of his eye and turned his head to look. The curtain on the far right was opened, and a woman wearing plain white clothes walked out, her eyes covered with white cloth and holding a gong in her hand.
It could be seen that the woman was extremely scared, biting her lip, and her body could not stop shaking.
The person who helped her lift the curtain was an old man with a slightly stooped body. The old man was dressed like a woman, wearing white clothes and covering his eyes with white cloth strips.
Jiang Cheng understood that the old man was most likely the troupe leader, and the woman who came out this time was not very old, about 15 or 6, with a good figure and a charming appearance.
This is also an old rule in the troupe. Whenever there are important guests coming to watch a play, soon after the play starts, the troupe will choose a door curtain for the most outstanding female character in the troupe, and let the female character go out to express her gratitude and support. If you are a benefactor, if you are lucky, you will get a large reward.
But this was a ghost show, and the ghost was asking for a reward, which Jiang Cheng didn't expect.
The girl lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and walked slowly forward along the first row of seats. Her shoulders were shaking so much that she looked very pitiful.
The lips trembled from time to time. If you listen carefully, you can hear the girl talking, but the voice is very low, and there is even a hint of vibrato, "Thank you, Domeng for your support..."
< br>Over and over again, they were all polite words. When the girl approached, the gong in the girl's hand caught Jiang Cheng's attention. Near the edge of the gong, there were several sachets scattered.
This is also one of the tricks used by theater troupes to attract customers. After the benefactor throws the reward money into the gong, he can easily take away a sachet. Most of the sachets are embroidered with the girl's surname or stage name. A kind of imprint.
The girl was moving very slowly. When she passed the first few charred corpses, she was safe and sound. But when she passed the one next to Jiang Cheng, something happened. The originally dead charred corpse suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's arm.
But the girl seemed to have sensed something. She twisted her waist and the burnt corpse's hand was impartial and just touched the sachet. The next second, as if she was electrocuted, she immediately retracted her hand and did not move. .
The sachet that was touched also changed, burned, and after a while, turned into ashes.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up. He immediately realized that these sachets were good things. These scorched corpse ghosts were afraid of the sachets. To be precise, the sachets could withstand a single attack from the ghosts.
"Thank you, Domeng... Domeng supports me..." The girl was obviously frightened, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.
Seeing the girl walking in front of him, Jiang Cheng also wanted to reach out for the sachet, but at this moment, he thought that the treatment between him and the scorched ghoul should be similar. If he rashly took the sachet, he would be attacked.
The reason is that the troupe is not tipped according to the rules. Only after tipping the girl can the sachet be taken away as promised. Jiang Cheng believes that this method is very feasible, mainly because he has no other way. Wonderful.
But now I am penniless, how can I reward the girl?
Although he had a mobile phone, he didn't want to give it away. After all, the mobile phone was still useful. Who knew how long he would have to stay in such a ghost place? Maybe he could still contact Fatty with his mobile phone.
Time waits for no one. Jiang Cheng decided to pull off a button on his clothes and threw it into the gong. After a slight crisp sound, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed to Jiang Cheng. Body, "Thank you...Thank you for your kindness."
Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed the girl's sachet.
Sure enough, it worked.
But how can one sachet be enough? Jiang Cheng, who got the benefit, stared at the remaining sachet, with naked longing in his eyes.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
"Thank you...thank you for the reward."
"Thank you for your kindness..."
"You gave me too much, thank you..."
Jiang Cheng put the clothes on The buttons were all torn off, and three sachets were replaced in a row. It was not until the fourth sachet that Jiang Cheng stopped. It wasn't that he didn't have the buttons anymore, he still had them, and he was holding them in his hand. But at this time, in the girl's gong, Only 1 sachet is left.
Of course he can take away all the sachets. This does not violate the rules, but if he really does this, if there is another blind ghost who wants to catch the girl, he will lose all the sachets. She must die.
The poor girl was still standing stupidly in front of Jiang Cheng, holding a gong, seemingly waiting for him to reward her.
Jiang Cheng put away the sachet and threw the button into his pocket. Looking at the girl's nervous face, he stretched out his hand and patted the girl's waist gently, signaling her not to wait any longer and keep walking.
Sorry everyone, I encountered a troublesome matter recently. I just dealt with it. There will be another chapter later.
