Chapter 494

The female shopkeeper was so drunk that her heart beat wildly, she felt very upset, but she didn't dare to say anything about the maid, and waved to the guys near the stage, telling them to take the brother and sister off quickly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the curtain in front of the stage, wondering why none of the troupe came out to meet the county magistrate?
Are you scared?The female shopkeeper thought secretly.

If you are really scared, you will be in trouble. The county magistrate's family obviously came to watch them sing. If they can't sing, it will affect the mood of the county magistrate. Isn't her little restaurant going to end?

Worried, the person behind the curtain finally came out.

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang appeared, walked past the county magistrate's family, picked up their doll calmly, turned around, and walked back behind the curtain.

It was as if he hadn't seen the county magistrate outside during the whole process, only the maidservants stared wide-eyed, hesitated to speak, wanted to say something but couldn't say it because they were too shocked.

In the end, they could only watch Xu Yue and Xu Dalang being taken away by the two children.

"Who is that?" The county magistrate asked suspiciously.

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from her brow, and carefully replied: "These are apprentices from the opera troupe. They are all rough countrymen and don't know the rules. Please don't blame me, my lord. When you turn around, the lady will talk about them."

Hearing the defending intention of the female shopkeeper, the county magistrate's wife curled her lips contemptuously, "I've said it all, but it's just some low-level tricks, it's not worth coming here in person, and my husband still insists on fighting against me."

"But they are all here, let's take a look, let them come on stage and start singing."

The county magistrate shook his head helplessly, knowing that his wife was unhappy because he had to come, so he couldn't say anything, so he nodded to the female shopkeeper, signaling her to make arrangements quickly.

As for the fact that it was still more than half an hour away from the scheduled performance time, they simply ignored the past.

What dare the female shopkeeper say?
Blessed, he retreated to the backstage of the stage, saw Xu Yue and the others were standing here, not panicked, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Which show are we going to be in today?" The female shopkeeper asked in a low voice, puzzled.

The sudden attack by the county magistrate's family made her mentally collapsed, and she couldn't remember things that should have been clearly remembered all at once.

Wen Qing glanced at Xu Da, Xu Da raised his eyebrows provocatively, Wen Qing swallowed, and replied:

"Xu Jiajun."

Xu Jiajun?
"What are you talking about?" the female shopkeeper asked again.

She never cared about the content of the repertoire the previous few times, but this time she had to be cautious.

Obviously, the county magistrate's family was attracted by the troupe's performance, and there was nothing about Xu Jiajun in the repertoire.

But too much is enough. If you want to promote Xu Jiajun's magnificence, then don't even think about it!

Wen Qing glanced at Xu Da again, but Xu Da still gave him an instigated gaze, and Wen Qing said:

"It's a story about an injured Xu Jiajun being rescued by a father and daughter. It's very simple. There are not as many fighting scenes as Qi Laosi's. It's a literary play."

When the female shopkeeper heard the word Wenxi, she subconsciously relaxed her vigilance, nodded, and urged:

"All right, all of you, hurry up and get on stage, don't make the adults wait too long, if we blame you, we'll all be unable to eat and walk around!"

Everyone in Xu Yue nodded to show their understanding, and watched the female shopkeeper leave.

As soon as the female shopkeeper left, Wen Qing suddenly felt guilty, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to delete it?"

They have stayed in the city for several days, if they had to run away after the show today, the restraint in front would be somewhat worthless.

Xu Dalang never expressed any opinions, Xu Yue and Xu Da looked at each other, and both father and daughter saw a hint of madness in each other's eyes.

"No change!" The father and daughter said in unison.

They just want to let the people of Yi County know that Xu Jiajun is here!

Wen Qing took a deep breath, looked at his companions, nodded heavily, changed into costumes, took props, and went on stage!
Those who were not on stage were not idle either. Under the orderly command of Xu Yue's father and daughter, they returned to the backyard to prepare for the upcoming escape plan.

Luggage is loaded, and the ox cart is sent out of the city first.

Then arrange people to watch around the Yixian government office and restaurants, and run away immediately if there is any trouble.

In the lobby, Wen Qing's cross-dressing daughter has already woken up the strange man who brought him home, and is asking him about his identity.

Knowing that the man was Xu Jiajun, the old father who brought the medicine into the door was shocked. The medicine bowl fell to the ground with a bang, and there was a loud noise in the quiet lobby, which shocked the hearts of people inside and outside the restaurant.

"You are Xu Jiajun?!"

The old father's unbelievable roar caused the county magistrate's family to frown, and an indescribable strangeness rose in their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, the injured man gave a weak explanation, and his daughter also assisted.

The man said that he was Xu Jiajun, not a bad person, and Xu Jiajun would not harm any innocent people.

He doesn't want anything from the common people. He just encountered difficulties and hopes to live in the old farmer's house first. After he recovers from his injury, he will contact the fellow Taoists and will pay back the medical expenses owed to the old farmer.

The old farmer was dubious, and at the plea of ​​his daughter, he had no choice but to agree to let Xu Jiajun stay.

So this Xu Jiajun lived in the old farmer's house. After his injury was almost healed, he got up to work every day before dawn, went up the mountain to collect firewood, went down the river to fetch water, and took care of all the heavy work in the old farmer's house.

He also taught the young people in the village how to use weapons, taught them how to read and count, and told them how to resist bandits.

This Xu Jiajun has done many things for the village. Gradually, the old farmers have changed their views on this Xu Jiajun, and they also have a new understanding of the bad and rebellious Xu Jiajun that the aristocratic gentry said.

In the end, fellow Taoists found them, paid back the old farmer's medical expenses, helped the villagers in the village to finish the spring plowing, left behind the more advanced planting methods, and left with the injured Xu Jiajun.

On the day when the Xu family's army left, all the young and old in the village were dispatched, reluctantly following the Xu family's army for a long distance.

Afterwards, the big households in the village increased the land rent, driving the villagers to a dead end.

At that moment, the villagers remembered what Xu Jiajun said——

"All people are born equal, there is no distinction between high and low, we must take up our own weapons to defend our own rights and interests!"

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance! Fuck the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and the emperor and nobles, we are human, we have to stand up!"

"Folks, take up your weapons, follow me, follow Xu Jiajun, let's go get back our own fields and rent together!"

The villagers played by members of the drama troupe picked up hoes and sickles one after another, and aggressively killed the big family that oppressed the neighbors.
The county magistrate's family suddenly felt that the atmosphere inside and outside the restaurant was not quite right, and silent resentment spread over the restaurant.

The silent people are about to explode.
