Chapter 340 Drama
After Wu Feng discovered the circle cutting technique to prove pi, he recorded his method in detail in a small book. Although he could not share his joy with others, this sense of accomplishment still made him extremely satisfied.

Talent is extremely important to the Xia Kingdom that has just escaped the savage age. If a student from the Great Xia Academy walked up to Wang Lang and asked if he was important, Wang Lang would definitely give an affirmative answer.

This is a very simple answer.

It can even be said that in this world, no one can understand the importance of the students of Daxia Academy better than Wang Lang.

To a certain extent, the roles played by these young people who have received the baptism of new knowledge are not just technicians or Daxia officials, they have a more important role, and this role will change the country.

Living in this barbaric era, Wang Lang knew how scarce talents were. Forcing children to receive education, although they could not get a large number of useful talents immediately, as long as this continues, the cultural level of Xia Kingdom will be greatly improved.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Rites, the number of children studying in the academy has reached as many as several thousand, and these people will be the disseminators of culture in the future.

On the outskirts of Baoding, there is a small village. The villagers here are farmers from the Xia Kingdom. After the conscription order was issued, most of the men in the village were recruited into the army, leaving only some old and weak women and children to stay here.

In terms of physical strength, most women are inferior to men. Now the farmland of each family has been confiscated by the state, and the local government organizes collective planting.

Although there are some disadvantages in doing so, it is often difficult to mobilize people's enthusiasm for labor under the situation of eating big pots of rice. However, in the current situation, implementing a system similar to rural communes has many benefits. This can at least ensure that farmers can have Sufficient rations to live on, even though the grain output is lower than before, it has played an extremely important role in stabilizing society.

At least men who enlist in the army don't have to worry about their wives and children starving to death on the streets.

Old and weak women and children were organized, and the county household department photographed agricultural officials to guide planting.

Different crops are connected together in pieces, looking around, the neat farmland is pleasing to the eye.

"Dangdangdang!"

A sound of gong beating resounded beside the field.

The young village chief, Shen Lian, kept beating the gong.

Seeing the villagers slowly gather towards him, Shen Lian put down the gong, waited for everyone to arrive, and said loudly: "Tonight, the performance troupe from the capital came to Baoding to wake up the three-day performance. After receiving the notice, let us go to watch it at night."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately became excited. Compared with the boring farm work, seeing the performances of the performance troupe in the capital is indeed an inspiring thing.

Looking at the people whispering, Shen Lian said loudly: "You must abide by the rules when you enter the county seat. At that time, there will be officials from the criminal department patrolling around. If someone makes trouble and is arrested and locked up in a cell for a few days, I will not mess with you." come out."

At this time, an old man grinned and said: "Mr. Shen, we understand the rules. You see, it will be dark soon. There is still a long distance between our village and the county seat. Don't go to my place now." Old bones can't be seen anymore."

"Yes! Village chief, let's go!"

The villagers shouted excitedly.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Send the farm tools and livestock back, and we'll start now."

The villagers cheered and hurried back to the village with their hoes on their backs.

The villagers who made some snacks at home put them in their arms carefully. When watching the performance, it is a very enjoyable thing to eat while watching.

Under the leadership of Shen Lian, the villagers went to the county seat in a leisurely manner.

At night, a huge stage was built on the central square of Baoding City, and an iron basin with firewood was placed beside the stage to illuminate the stage.

At this time, a large number of people gathered in the square of Nuoda. For the people who are jealous and lacking in spiritual life, this performance is definitely a rare event.

With the sound of a few "dong dong" drums, the noisy crowd fell silent just now, quietly waiting for the actors to perform on stage.

Not long after, the performance officially began.

When the actors came to the stage, the flute player below the stage played some sad music. Hearing the sound of the flute, the hearts of the audience suddenly rose, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound. If someone If you make a lot of noise and there are no reminders from the yamen servants around, the disturbed audience will kill them countless times with diffraction.

Several actresses were carrying their heads on their shoulders, humming a little tune to work in the fields, coupled with the melodious sound of the flute, people who watched the show naturally thought of the scene when they were working, and the audience immediately brought their identities into the scene. Road among them.

With the awakening of the performance, the low voice suddenly disappeared, and the rumbling drums remembered that several soldiers in armor rushed behind Wutai. The audience was shocked when they saw officers and soldiers appearing. Performing, the hanging heart couldn't help but relax.

"All the villagers will go to the county seat immediately, and the enemy will come to kill them soon."

An actor playing the role of a soldier yelled in horror, and the working women suddenly made a mess, and hurriedly followed the soldiers towards the county town.

The first act ended, and the audience’s emotions had been fully mobilized. When the curtain opened, the scene was no longer a farmland. Among the dead soldiers on the ground, a woman holding a child knelt beside a soldier’s body and whispered. cry.

At this moment, a panic-stricken woman came to the woman in a hurry, and said anxiously: "Li's family, let's go, the dinosaurs have broken through the city, if we don't leave, we are going to die here."

As soon as the name Dinosaur appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and they figured out what the enemy was.

"Sister-in-law of the Zhao family, my husband can't just die here. Why did he die just after our child was born?" the woman cried.

"The man is dead, let's go, or it will be too late, the army has already retreated." Another woman persuaded.

And the woman holding the baby cried for a while, carefully arranged the dead husband's clothes, hugged the baby tightly, and left in a hurry.

The second act ended, and people anxiously waited for the next plot, in which the mother and son prayed that they could escape the pursuit of the enemy.

At the beginning of the third act, a group of terrified human beings wanted to support them to escape in a hurry. At this time, the drumbeat became more and more urgent. A woman is among them.

Several soldiers who were protecting the retreat saw that there was no retreat, roared and swung their knives to kill the dinosaur man, but they were outnumbered, and the soldiers died heroically in no time.

The people who lost their protection soon became lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and were caught by this group of dinosaurs.

At this time, the baby in the woman's arms suddenly let out a crying sound, and the sound immediately annoyed the dinosaur man. Regardless of the woman's struggle, he knocked him down to the ground, snatched the baby in his arms, and stabbed him. Passing through its chest, picked up the dead baby, and let out a strange cry, as if showing off its military exploits.

The angry audience off the stage wanted to rush to the stage and beat the actors who played the dinosaurs to death. The riot was quelled only after the officials stopped them.

The actors were taken aback by the audience's actions, especially the soldiers who played the role of the dinosaurs. They were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. When those people were about to rush onto the stage just now, they really thought they were going to die.

After the audience calmed down, they pulled themselves out of the story and realized that it was just a story and not real.

People whispered about this, this woman's next fate, and talked about how they expected to choose when they encountered such a thing, whether to resist or catch them without a fight, and people talked more about fearing that people would be so bad.

The actors, recovering from the shock, continued to perform better.

The captured human beings were brought back to the camp by the dinosaurs, and they were picked and picked by these terrifying monsters like animals.

And the human baby was thrown into the cauldron and cooked, and was quickly eaten up, as naturally as eating livestock.

And those adults were shackled, with chewing heads in their mouths, and they were being played with like a dog.

The smoother skin of humans has become the beautiful clothes worn by dinosaurs, and the milk of women has become the drink of dinosaurs. At this stage, the audience is afraid, will their future become like this?

The news of the dinosaur attack was already well known. Through this performance, the people who watched the performance had an idea in their hearts. If the situation mentioned in the story really happened, maybe death would be the only thing. happy thing.

When the performance ended, the hearts of the audience couldn't be calm for a long time. I didn't know that Shui shouted: "Kill the dinosaurs!"

This sentence completely ignited the anger and fear of everyone. Countless people chanted this slogan. The war between different races is either you die or I die. There is no other way to go. Although the earth is big, it cannot accommodate it. Two intelligent races exist at the same time.

When the villagers returned, they no longer had the elation they had when they came, and everyone felt extremely heavy.

Although this performance is a story, it may not happen to me in the near future.

The men are all going to join the army now, and the women feel even more deeply about what happened to the actress.

Facing the terrible nightmare that is likely to happen, people really understood the imperial court's conscription order this time, and at least a few complaints were completely subsided.

The reaction of the Chinese people was within Wang Lang's expectations. The influence of the script he wrote has just begun to show. As long as the play is toured across the country, he believes that facing the threat of genocide, the Chinese people will definitely burst out with unlimited motivation.

As the end of the new year is approaching, Yancheng is no longer as lively as it used to be this year. The streets are deserted, and most of the women are shopping for things for the new year.

Wang He, who joined the army for nearly two years, returned to Yancheng on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The two-year military career not only exercised his body, but also honed his will. Although he was only ten years old, his tanned face no longer showed much childishness, and he looked much calmer than before.

After Wang He came back, the first thing he did was to greet Wang Lang.

Looking at his eldest son, whom he hadn't seen for nearly two years, Wang Lang was extremely pleased. He naturally knew Wang He's performance in the past two years. Although he was young, he was able to keep up with the training tasks in the army. The level made Wang Lang look at him with admiration.

"Just come back, sit down!" Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Wang He sat on the chair with his back straight. From his sitting posture, it can be seen that the long-term military training has completely changed his previous laziness.

Wang Lang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Are you still used to being in the army for the past two years?"

"Father, my son is very used to living in the army, and gets along very well with the robes and others." Wang He said in a deep voice.

"That's good. You know what kind of threat our Xia Kingdom is facing. You are on the front line, are you afraid?" Wang Lang asked.

Hearing this, Wang He smiled and said, "Father, my servants are not afraid, all the robes in the army know that when they become soldiers, they have the awareness to be ready to die."

"This is my son. A man must live upright and take all people as his responsibility." Wang Lang said with satisfaction.

At this time, Wang Lang's three wives rushed over together after learning that Wang He was back.

When Wang He saw his mother, he quickly got up and said, "Mother!"

Fan Xing looked at Wang He, who hadn't seen him in two years, women are sentimental after all, and couldn't help crying.

"My son is back, why are you crying!" Wang Lang said with a straight face.

Fan Xing glared at Wang Lang and said, "He Cai was sent to the army at such a young age, can a child go to that place? What if he gets hurt and touches him? Why is your father so cruel?"

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched, and he said angrily, "What do you know as a woman?"

Seeing his parents looking like they were about to quarrel, Wang He quickly said, "Mother, am I doing well? I also volunteered to join the army, and I don't find it hard. Instead, I feel that my life is full of meaning."

Fan Xing raised her brows upside down, looked at Wang He and said, "You are really just like your father, my mother really raised you for nothing."

Wang He scratched his head in embarrassment, and glanced at Wang Lang.

"What's the fuss about the kid just coming back? Tell the royal chef to make some delicious food. Today, our family will have a good get-together." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

At this time, Wang He saw two little people hiding behind their mothers and looking at him with some fear.

Wang He made a funny face at him, and the two immediately retracted their heads in fright.

The two concubines dragged the two of them out from behind and reprimanded them: "Don't give your elder brother a gift!"

The two children looked at Wang He timidly, and said in a childlike voice, "Wang Lan, Wang Hai, I met my brother!"

Wang He smiled and said, "These two are younger brothers and sisters. I didn't expect to grow up so much after only being away for two years."

As he spoke, he groped in his bosom for a while, took out two rattles and shook them: "I came back in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any presents, so you can play with these two rattles!"

The two children excitedly took the rattle and started playing with it.

Looking at Wang Lang's two concubines, he said, "I've seen Er Niang and San Niang!"

The two concubines nodded and said, "I've seen Da Lang!"
