Chapter 0330 Elsa's plight.
The Sahara prairie is inlaid in the southeast of the Yingluo Kingdom. The entire prairie is larger than the three Yingluo kingdoms combined. There are many nomadic peoples, or in the form of tribes.
In recent years, most of the Beastkin tribes have increased, and battles happen from time to time, all for the grasslands for sheep and horses to graze.
And Elsa, the eldest princess of the Brutus Beastkin kingdom, established a large Beastkin tribe here, a tribe of Beastkin, and it is also a tribe that can rank among the top in the entire Sahara prairie.
In the Elsa tribe, this is a whole continuous house, which is a circular house. In the center of the tribe, there is a house twice as big as the others. This is the house where Elsa lives.
In the house, Elsa was cooking by the fire, and her golden eyes were staring blankly at the dancing flames in the middle of the fire. She had been like this for half an hour.
She is recalling the past. She is 22 years old this year. She is the eldest princess of the Brutus Beastman Kingdom. She has been fighting for eight years. Then, fighting with the human race is even more difficult...
However, in the end, the Brutus Beastkin kingdom was destroyed, and was destroyed by the damned natural disaster. Her two years of hard work were all destroyed. She was thinking, was what she did in those two years superfluous?
Under the natural disaster, the Brutus Beastkin kingdom was destroyed, and all the Beastkin families fell apart, even her family was no exception. Her father, Bella's father, and many nobles were unwilling to leave. Saving the kingdom... In the end, they were asked to leave, and it took them five years to leave.
Elsa is 22 years old this year. She came to the Sahara prairie four years ago. Relying on her charisma and clever mind, she managed to own a large tribe of Beastkin in just four years, making people within a radius of tens of kilometers The tribe dare not underestimate her.
"Princess, it's time to have lunch." The maid called softly holding a tray.
"Hmm." Elsa's lion ears trembled, she turned her head and glanced at the large piece of meat on the tray, and couldn't help but sighed, "Mutton again?"
"Yes, it's the sheep that was just slaughtered this morning." The maid replied softly.
"Killing sheep again?" Elsa frowned with golden eyebrows, and said majesticly, "Didn't you just kill a batch of sheep the day before yesterday?"
"Your Highness, the ones killed the day before yesterday have already been divided." The maid lowered her head and replied.
In the tribe, the sheep are collectively killed, and then the mutton is distributed according to the contribution ability. Old Beastkin and small Beastkin share less, only knight Beastkin and strong male Beastkin share more, because they want to maintain fighting power. Used to resist the attacks of other tribes.
"Let everyone save some food, it's still early before winter is over." Elsa sighed and sat on the main seat.
"Yes, I'll inform them later." The maid said respectfully, and quickly put down the lunch on the tray, which was a piece of mutton the size of an adult's palm, boiled in salt water, with a glass of goat's milk beside it.
"..." Elsa looked at the mutton on the plate and smelled the smell of mutton, which made her not like it very much, but she couldn't help but eat it. There are no vegetables in this winter.
In other words, the entire Sahara prairie is now killing sheep and eating meat. If you want to eat something green, you don't have to think about it unless you dig grass roots in the snow.
Elsa shook her long blond hair, picked up the knife on the plate, cut off a small piece of mutton, opened her mouth to reveal a small fang, and stuffed the mutton into it to chew.
"Isn't there still some frozen vegetables? Bring some over here." Elsa looked up, it was a bit difficult for her to swallow, and she almost vomited after eating the meat for so long, mainly because the taste was really bad.
In the tribe, there is a shortage of supplies, so everything needs to be saved, and wood cannot be used for fire. In other words, only Elsa uses wood for fire, while others use dried sheep and horse dung for fire.
"Okay." The maid was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded, and stepped outside. The maid came outside and swept away a pile of snow to reveal the wooden boards inside.
This is a cave, used to store some food, such as the frozen vegetables that Elsa said, that is, wild vegetables, such as dandelions, diding, and other wild vegetables that were picked on snowy days, all stored in it.
After these days of consumption, there were not many wild vegetables left. The maid went down and took out two dandelions that looked like they had been dehydrated, scalded them with boiling water, and then mixed them with mutton juice and mutton to eat.
"How many more frozen vegetables?" Elsa ate the frozen vegetables brought by the maid, picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth, and asked while chewing, "How many more days can I eat?"
"Your Highness, there are only nine days left." The maid whispered, the amount she said was to eat one meal of frozen vegetables a day.
"..." Elsa's hand stuffing the frozen vegetables stiffened, she put it down silently, picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth. Let's save this frozen vegetable for dinner.
"Let them peel those sheepskins carefully. Next year, we will see if there are any merchants in the Kingdom of Yingluo who want to buy them." Elsa urged.
Her whole tribe has only two kinds of animals, namely sheep and horses, and the most are sheep. In the first month of winter, many sheep are killed, and then the mutton is frozen in snowdrifts. The sheepskins are used to make houses or clothing.
The houses on the Sahara prairie are made of a lot of wood as the skeleton, plus some sheepskin stitched together, and most tribal houses are made in this way.
The house of the Elsa tribe is no exception, it is also made of sheepskin and wood, but the house where Elsa lives, the sheepskin will be stitched with more layers, which will make it much warmer.
But this house has already been built when winter comes. The sheep that will be slaughtered in the following days and the skins that have been peeled off will be piled up in the snow. If there are people from the tribe in the spring of next year, they can sell them for some copper coins. After all, after winter, sheepskin is worthless.
Chapter 0331 Elsa's Dilemma Part Two.
In the Sahara prairie, more than 30.00 people live by grazing, mainly raising horses and sheep. It can be said that % of the war horses in this era come from the Sahara prairie.
Sheep are exported to all over the world, but all these need to be transported by merchants, and Elsa is an Beastkin tribe, and there are too few merchants who come to her tribe to buy horses and sheep every year.
No, it should be said that few merchants dared to come, and some small merchants came here, and the amount of purchase was not large, which was also one of the factors limiting the development of her tribe.
"Alas..." Elsa sighed after eating. They were no longer afraid of going hungry. They just wanted to improve their lives, but there was no way.
"..." Elsa looked down at the mutton on the plate, smacked her lips, turned to look at the maid, and asked calmly, "Is the salt in the tribe running out?"
"Yes." The maid nodded and said softly, "I'm already saving a little."
"You can have nothing, but you can't have no salt." Elsa pulled a sackcloth to wipe her hands, and this salt was also a big problem in her department.
"Your Highness, the traveling merchant said last time that there was an accident in Yancheng and was attacked by pirates. Many saltworks were destroyed, and production will not resume until next year." The maid whispered.
"Then what do other traveling merchants say?" Elsa frowned and said coldly, "Just say that we are willing to pay % more for salt."
"This..." the maid faltered, and after being glared at by Elsa, she said, "They want three times the price."
"What? Triple the price?" Elsa stood up abruptly, with her lion's tail swaying behind her, staring at her golden eyes and said, "Those damned humans are so greedy."
"Yes, they want to triple the price, and then trade it with war horses." The maid said leisurely.
"Impossible, don't even think about it." Elsa waved her hand and snorted coldly, "Those traveling merchants will not do their business in the future."
"Yes!" The maid replied.
"Damn it." Elsa gritted her teeth, then sat down slumped, pressing her forehead with her slender fingers. The problem of salt is a big deal. If everyone has no salt to eat, they will have no energy at all.
She has already tried this experiment. When she came to the Sahara Prairie for the first year, she spent the winter because she was not ready.
During the winter period, because there was no salt to eat, everyone had no strength, and then they were attacked by other tribes. Even if they repelled the enemy, they suffered heavy losses.
"Your Highness, also, we have too many draft horses and lambs. Once next spring, if no one buys them, the grass in the grass will not be enough for the sheep, and the horses will eat them." Maid Hui reported.
"This..." Elsa paused with her hand pressing her forehead. This was another piece of bad news. There was enough output, but there was no market.
The sheep and draft horses that are locked up now are maintained by eating hay, and hay is prepared one month before winter comes, but the sheep and draft horses will not grow fat if they eat hay, so it can only ensure that they will not be starved. die.
Sheep cannot be eaten. This is related to the rations of the Elsa tribe next year. If there are too few sheep, in May and June next year, there will be faults due to too few sheep.
But now there are too many lambs and draft horses, and it is definitely not willing to kill them, so we can only sell some of them in the spring of next year, so that the ecological balance of the grassland can be restored.
The problem now is that no one buys them. Those human merchants go to those human tribes to buy sheep and draft horses, but they don't want to come to Elsa's tribe.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to expand the grassland next year?" The maid asked solemnly, she only thought of this method, that is to launch a war, destroy several tribes, and occupy their pastures, so that there will be grass for sheep and horses to graze.
"..." Elsa closed her eyes and thought about it. Launching a war can only solve the temporary predicament. finished goods, such as salt, linen, ironware, pottery, and so on.
"Hasn't any other big businessmen come to the Sahara Prairie recently?" Elsa asked lightly, and she decided to take the initiative.
"No, merchants don't want to come out in winter." The maid replied.
Elsa remained silent. She really needed a big businessman to buy her sheep and draft horses. As for the war horses, she did not sell them, and there were not many war horses in her tribe.
Of course, if the value is high, she will sell some of them. It's just that the human race has too much prejudice against Beastkin, and they are afraid of being robbed when they come to her tribe.
"Spread out the news that our tribe has a lot of sheep and draft horses. If you want to buy them, we can offer you % cheaper." Elsa said flatly.
She can't do anything about it. Next door is the Kingdom of Yingluo, which is also their biggest market. If humans don't come to her tribe to buy sheep and horses, they can only pile up.
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"Huh..." Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, and waved her hand to let the maid go out. She needed to be alone.
The maid saluted, packed the things on the table, and walked out.
Watching the door close, Elsa reaches into her bosom and takes out a piece of animal skin. This is the treasure map her father gave her. When she has the opportunity or ability, she can go to the treasure map and take out coins to build a new treasure map. The Brutus Beastkin kingdom.
"Father, I have let you down." Elsa said in a hoarse voice. Her intelligence was mostly used in war, and she was not proficient at handling government affairs.
"It would be great if Ellie was here." Elsa put away the treasure map and sighed, "She can definitely arrange things, big and small, and I will be responsible for fighting and protecting everyone."
It's a pity that everyone was separated, and they didn't even see each other for the last time, and they didn't know how their lives were going.
Chapter 0332 Annie got what she wanted.
early morning.
"Huhuhu..."
The cold wind was blowing on the paper windows, making a 'creaking' sound, as if someone was scraping the iron sheet with their fingernails, which disturbed people's dreams at all.
"It's really..." Liu Feng slowly opened his eyes helplessly, staring blankly at the ceiling, refusing to sleep in if he wanted to.
"Wow..." Panda Caesar roared, the quilt was pulled, Liu Feng moved out of the bed, looked down at the foot of the bed, and found Caesar biting the quilt and shaking his head.
"Caesar, why don't you sleep in late today? Did you wake up too?" Liu Feng reached out and stroked Caesar's head, shaking his fingers to tease Caesar.
"Ouch..."
Caesar squatted, waving his paws to catch Liu Feng's finger, but he almost caught it, and it was so anxious that it shouted at the top of its lungs.
"Gag!"
The door was slowly pushed open a crack, first a pair of fox ears came in, then the head of the fox-eared lady slowly squeezed in, her brown eyes looked towards the bed, and met Liu Feng's black eyes.
"..." Annie blinked her eyes in a daze, why did the young master get up so early today?She still wants to use the young master's hands to exercise her breasts.
These days, either Mina stayed with Liu Feng, or Fleur came over to take over and sleep for a few days, and said that she was Liu Feng's fiancée, which surprised many people in the castle.
This made her never have a chance to act. When she got up today and found that it was snowing, she knew that the young master would sleep in, but she didn't expect to wake up now.
"Come in." Liu Feng waved and said lazily, "Why did you wake up so early?"
Last night, he played poker with Annie, Viya, and the others until about two o'clock in the morning. Catherine, Darlene, and Eliza also came. The crowd was so lively that it was too late to play.
"Master." Annie blushed slightly, opened the door and walked in, a little afraid to meet Liu Feng's eyes, after all, she came with a special purpose.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, looked at Annie strangely, moved his body, lifted a corner of the quilt, patted the bed, and said softly, "You don't wear too much, come up and lie down. "
Fox Er Niang was wearing a thin pajamas and a military overcoat, Liu Feng could even see Annie trembling slightly.
"Ah?" Annie was stunned, staring blankly at Liu Feng with her brown eyes, the blush on her cheeks became even redder, she lowered her head slowly, and moved to the bedside.
"Aren't you cold?" Liu Feng was helpless, stretched out his hand and grabbed Hu Erniang's arm, pulled Annie onto the bed, ripped off her military coat, and covered her with a quilt.
"..." Annie suddenly stepped into the warm bed, which made her shiver, and her skin got goosebumps.
"What? Is it cold?" Liu Feng felt Hu Erniang's trembling, stretched out his arms, hugged Annie into his arms, and said softly, "It's snowing today, and it's windy outside, and you still go out wearing so few clothes. "
"I, I..." Annie hesitated, her cheeks were all flushed, and a blush appeared on her neck. She smelled the faint fragrance of Liu Feng's body and felt Liu Feng's heartbeat.
Hu Erniang's mind was blank now, it was the first time she was hugged by the young master like this, and she was still in bed, which reminded her of many indecent images.
"What about you? Are you not afraid of getting sick? When you get seriously ill, you will have to get an injection." Liu Feng raised the corners of his mouth and threatened softly, "Spanking needles."
"Ah?" Annie heard it now, shook her head again and again, and shouted, "I don't want it, I'm not sick."
After finishing speaking, Hu'er Niang still held her buttocks, as if she was afraid that Liu Feng would really give her an injection.
"If you don't want to get an injection, then you should keep warm and wear more clothes." Liu Feng gently urged.
"Yeah, I see." Annie nodded obediently, this injection was one of the things she was most afraid of.
"You came so early? What's the matter?" Liu Feng stroked the fox ears of the fox-eared lady.
"I, I..." Annie opened her mouth slightly, her brown eyes were slightly misty, and her legs were clamped and rubbed together.
"What? Could it be a shadow puppet show?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and said softly, "The shadow puppet show doesn't start that early. Wait for a while, and the audition will not start until ten o'clock."
Yes, the rehearsal of the shadow puppet show has been completed, and the personnel were found in Saba City. After several days of training by Liu Feng, today is the day when the puppet show will be staged, and it is about o'clock in the morning, and there are still two hours before the start of the shadow puppet show. Hour.
"No, it's not." Annie blushed and shook her head slightly, and said in a voice lower than that of a mosquito, "Master, do you really like those with small breasts?"
"Huh? Annie, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly, please speak up." Liu Feng turned his head and brought his face closer to Fox's Lady.
"Uh..." Liu Feng looked at Annie's blushing face, his brown eyes were a little misty, giving people a lovely and pitiful sense of sight.
The two looked at each other like this, and the atmosphere became charming. Annie looked at Liu Feng's face shyly, a glint of hope flashed in her eyes, and she slowly closed them.
"..." Liu Feng is no longer the first brother, Hu Er Niang looks like, as long as he is not a fool, he knows what to do, he slowly leans his face up, and puts his mouth on Hu Er Niang's.
"Hmm~" Fox Erniang trembled slightly, and opened her closed eyes slightly, and closed them quickly after seeing Liu Feng.
She finally kissed the young master. This feeling is completely different from the one described in "Love Notes of a Noble Girl". It is many times better than that feeling. The heart beats fast, and the soft touch makes people want to sink into it ...
"call..."
Liu Feng's nasal breathing intensified, and the hand holding Hu Erniang tightened, and he got closer. Driven by him, Annie responded to him jerky.
"Ta Tata..."
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, accompanied by Nicole's puzzled voice, "Why did the master's door open?"
"Uh..." Annie's body was slightly stiff, she opened her eyes suddenly, struggled slightly to separate from Liu Feng, flustered in shame, her delicate body shrank into the quilt, and hid herself in the quilt.
What is this operation?Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, feeling Annie's face pressed against his lower abdomen, and seeing Nicole walk in, he immediately knew what Fox Erniang was doing.
This is embarrassing.
Chapter 0333 I want to...
"Master, are you awake?" Nicole said softly when she saw Liu Feng with her eyes open, "Master, why did you open your door? Did someone come?"
These words immediately made Annie in the quilt nervous. She was a little at a loss, so anxious that she bit someone directly, and gently took a bite in Liu Feng's stomach.
Before Liu Feng opened his mouth, his stomach felt cold and wet, and the corners of his eyes twitched. The fox-eared girl actually bit his stomach with her mouth.
"No one came, it was blown by the wind." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and when the words fell, the fox-eared lady blushed and let go.
"Wind?" Nicole blinked her gray eyes, her face was full of weirdness, the corridor was outside the door, and it didn't lead directly to the outside, how could there be wind?
She didn't ask too much, her feet tightened, and she looked down, and saw Caesar playing with her feet.
"Little rascal, you're so energetic in the morning." Nicole squatted down, rubbing her slender hands on the panda's face, causing Caesar to writhe in dissatisfaction, stretching out his paws to grab Nicole's palm.
"Okay, I won't play with you anymore." Nicole let go of Caesar, stood up, picked up the wooden box from the door, and put the things on the table into it. Some of the things on the table today were packed in cardboard boxes.
She didn't ask Liu Feng what was inside, but carefully put it into the box. There would be one or two of these things every few days, and they seemed to be relatively expensive.
Nicole was packing things, which was a pain for Annie, it was very stuffy hiding under the quilt, mainly because it was difficult to breathe.
Liu Feng's face was weird, and his stomach was sprayed with hot breath, which made little Liu Feng tend to raise his head... No, he has already raised his head.
"Huh?" Annie's cheeks were flushed, her brown eyes were full of doubts, her chest seemed to be hit by something, she couldn't help but reach out and grab it, it was hard and hot...
"..." Annie was stunned for three seconds, her delicate face flushed red, she remembered what it was, and most importantly, she actually grabbed the young master's young master...
Oh my god, Annie just feels a little dizzy now, how could she be so shy today, she doesn't want to let it go, it doesn't matter if she doesn't let it go, it's just like this stalemate.
"Huha..." Liu Feng took a deep breath, but Hu Erniang didn't let go, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Okay." Nicole put all the things on the table into wooden boxes, and shouted to the door, "Come in."
"Ta Tata..."
A few maids walked in with their heads down, carried three wooden boxes and went out, followed by Nicole, these things had to be locked in the inner warehouse first.
"Master, I'm leaving first, and I'll come back later." Before Nicole left, her gray eyes glanced at the army coat at the corner of the bed, with a strange look on her face.
"Okay." Liu Feng nodded and watched Nicole leave.
"Kagji."
As the door closed, Annie's head stuck out from under the quilt immediately, gasping for breath, her face was flushed, her brown eyes were full of mist, and her fox ears were limp.
She was a little shy and didn't dare to look at Liu Feng. It was too embarrassing just now, which she didn't dare to imagine before.
Liu Feng's eyes are full of weirdness. Today's Fox Erniang is completely different, without the usual detachment, and has an innocent and shy beauty.
"Annie." Liu Feng called out softly, put his hand on the face of the fox-eared lady, slowly slid down to her chin, slightly raised the cheek of the fox-eared lady, lowered her head and put her mouth on it.
"Hmm~" Annie snorted slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, her hands were a little at a loss, and finally she put it on the clothes on Liu Feng's chest, pinching the clothes tightly, and responded jerkyly.
Liu Feng hugged Annie tightly, as if he wanted to rub the fox-eared lady into his body, and stretched out his hands to go down, but he hadn't climbed a certain high ground...
"Boom bang bang..."
There was a knock on the door, and before the two could react, the door was pushed open, and Fleur walked in, then stared blankly at Liu Feng and Annie who were kissing.
"..." There was a bit of shame and curiosity in Fleur's green eyes, and a blush crept up on her cheeks, but she looked at the two without turning her pupils.
Annie froze again, as if petrified, staring blankly at Liu Feng's face.
"..." Liu Feng rolled his eyes, being looked at by Fleur like this, how could he continue, he was so ashamed to cry when he didn't see Annie.
Oh my god, Annie shouted in her heart, what happened today, one Nicole, now another one, she turned her back to the outside of the bed, she didn't know who was standing behind her.
"You, why are you here?" Liu Feng said helplessly, the girl was still staring at him, her green eyes looked at him as if she felt guilty, as if she had done something sorry for her.
"I'm here to sleep." Fleur said lightly, she had a nightmare, but she didn't sleep with Liu Feng for three days, and she had the nightmare she often had before.
"Didn't you just wake up?" Liu Feng sighed, and came to sleep with him after waking up, what kind of operation is this?
"Sleepy." Fleur grinned, and raised her hand to pat her mouth twice to show that she was sleepy. This is what she learned from Liu Feng.
"..." Liu Feng was speechless, this is no excuse, and this yawning action is too formulaic.
"me..."
Annie blushed, she was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say, she hurriedly left Liu Feng's arms, grabbed the military coat at the corner of the bed, wrapped her head, and ran away with brown eyes.
"Huh..." Liu Feng let out a sigh of relief, looking helplessly at Fleur who had already climbed onto the bed, he was really rude.
"Go to sleep." Liu Feng covered Fleur with the quilt, and fell down himself, just in time to sleep back into the cage.
"Hug." Fleur was in Liu Feng's arms, looking up at Liu Feng, with a little dependence deep in her green eyes.
"Okay." Liu Feng hugged Fleur, this was not the first time he slept with a girl in his arms, or in other words, the girl slipped to him in the middle of the night.
"I want it too." Fleur said suddenly, looking at Liu Feng with her green eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly.
"You want it too? What do you want?" Liu Feng was stunned, blinking his black eyes, his words were endless.
Chapter 0334 part of the plan.
Fleur just didn't speak, just looked at Liu Feng, green eyes facing black eyes, silent.
"Could it be..." The corners of Liu Feng's eyes trembled slightly, because at a close distance, he could still see a slight blush on Fulei's cheeks, and his eyes turned and moved down, staring at Fulei's small red mouth.
"En!" Fleur nodded, and as soon as she moved her cheeks forward, it was almost pressed against Liu Feng's face, her green eyes were fixed on Liu Feng, with an expression that I wanted to kiss.
"..." The corners of Liu Feng's mouth twitched slightly, he rolled his eyes, raised his hand to caress Fleur's cheek, tilted his head slightly, and tapped his mouth lightly on the girl's forehead.
"Okay." Liu Feng lowered his eyes, looked at the confused expression on Fleur's face, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
Fleur raised her hand to press her forehead, and frowned. This unknown feeling made her a little overwhelmed, a feeling she had never felt before.
The girl didn't bother about why she didn't kiss, she lay obediently in Liu Feng's arms, and slowly closed her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, indicating that the feeling was not bad.
"Huh..." Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to take away the girl's kiss in a daze. He didn't know Fleur for a long time, so he didn't know why the girl relied on him so much.
But life is made up of beautiful memories and pains, and the first kiss is such an unforgettable beautiful memory.
"Aha~~"
Liu Feng grinned, waking up too early, and playing late last night, he hugged the girl, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Two hours later, the time came to nine o'clock, and there was still an hour before the shadow puppet show started at ten o'clock.
"Master, wake up..."
Nicole called softly, bent down and looked at the two people who were sleeping soundly. She didn't expect that it would be Fleur here. The military coat she saw in the morning clearly belonged to Anli, but now it's Fleur here. .
Could it be that Annie is here?And then left, Fleur just came?Nicole could only think of this, she didn't expect Enli to be so bold now.
"Hmm~"
Liu Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Nicole lazily, and said lazily, "Nicole, what time is it?"
"Master, it's nine o'clock, and there is still one hour before the shadow puppetry starts." Nicole said softly, reaching out to push the hair off Liu Feng's cheeks.
"Aha~~"
Liu Feng yawned again, and then saw Fleur also opened her eyes, pouted and rubbed her eyes, obviously she didn't get enough sleep.
But in the next second, Fleur's face became indifferent again, she glanced at Liu Feng lightly, slowly got up, put on her clothes and left.
"Really..." Liu Feng smiled wryly, stood up and stretched his waist, and asked, "Everyone is awake?"
"Wake up, I'm already waiting for you in the dining room." Nicole said softly, and quickly picked up her coat and put it on Liu Feng.
"Oh? It seems that everyone is looking forward to it." Liu Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Viya wakes up at seven o'clock." Nicole said with a light smile. When she got up, she saw the rabbit-eared lady busy in the kitchen.
"Isn't school a holiday today? Why did she get up so early?" Liu Feng asked in surprise.
"Weiya said she was very nervous." Nicole said while helping Liu Feng change clothes, "She was afraid of messing up the shadow puppet show."
"What's the matter? If you make a mistake, you can correct it. It's not a public performance anyway. We're the only ones to watch it." Liu Feng shook his head and laughed. He knew why the rabbit-eared lady was nervous.
There are still some problems. After all, it is changed to a style suitable for this era, and there will be dramas in some details.
After being served by Nicole, Liu Feng walked to the dining room after washing up. Before he reached the dining room, he heard the voice of Di Si crying hungry, but Annie's yelling was gone.
"Kagji."
Pushing the door open, Liu Feng saw that everyone was already there. Annie didn't dare to meet his eyes, and sat quietly on the seat with a little blush on her cheeks.
"Morning." Liu Feng greeted softly.
"Morning, master." Mina, Anli and Teess.
"Morning, my lord." Avery, Eliza, Weiya and Su Mi.
"Morning, Your Excellency Liu Feng." Catherine, Darlene.
Everyone greets in a different way, last night Catherine, Darlene and Eliza stayed at the castle.
Liu Feng nodded and sat on his seat. As for Fleur, he just glanced indifferently, and everyone was waiting for him to start the meal.
"Let's eat." Liu Feng picked up a piece of cake and ate it, and everyone started eating.
"..."
Catherine, Darlene, and Eliza spent the breakfast in astonishment and laughter. It was the first time they saw such a funny breakfast.
Tess's food, Mina's humility, Anli's food protection, Viya's thoughtfulness, Nicole's care, Su Mi's cuteness, Liu Feng's smile, Fleur's indifference, and Avery's quickness.
Each really has its own characteristics. This kind of feeling makes the three want to blend in very much, but there is always something missing.
After eating, under the leadership of Liu Feng, a group of people walked to the commercial street. The place where the shadow play was performed was in the house on the other side of the commercial street.
Walking on the street, the civilians around were stunned, there were so many beautiful girls, and Liu Feng was walking in the front, and the civilians saluted one after another.
With a little smile on his face, Liu Feng led the girls to "swagger through the market" and came to a house in the commercial street with a signboard with the words "shadow puppetry". There was someone guarding the door. people go in.
"My lord." The gatekeeper saluted respectfully.
"Yeah." Liu Feng nodded, and walked in with the girls.
There is a counter before the entrance, and after that is the place to buy tickets, but no one is arranged, today is just an audition, or a rehearsal, and I will know what is wrong after watching it.
This shadow puppet show is also part of Liu Feng's plan. If it develops well, it will spread to other cities. It is one of the means he uses to promote Saba City. The shadow play is a good way to carry "private goods".
After passing the counter, you come to the hall, where there are all chairs, and on the other side is a big white curtain, which is the performance stage.
Chapter 0335 shadow puppet show.
"Everyone, sit down." Liu Feng raised his voice, they all sat in the front row, surrounded by Liu Feng, and Catherine sat beside him.
Or because Catherine was a guest, everyone gave way to her, and Darlene sat next to Catherine, and Eliza went down in turn.
Sitting on the other side of Liu Feng is Viya. Her notebook is ready to record some suggestions that Liu Feng said.
After everyone sat down, the door of the house was closed, and the windows were covered with black cloth. Except for the necessary ventilation, the surrounding area was completely dark.
"Huh? Why is it dark?" Catherine yelled in astonishment, her golden eyes looked around in panic, and she waved her hands wildly. She was most afraid of the dark. Ever since her mother passed away, she hated the dark the most.
The wildly waving palm suddenly fell into a warm and broad palm, and Liu Feng's gentle voice came to her ear, "Don't worry, there will be light soon."
"..." Catherine's body froze, her head mechanically turned to look in Liu Feng's direction, her hand was being held by His Excellency Liu Feng.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that the darkness was no longer scary, and she focused all her attention on her hand. The warm and wide palm made her calm down, and she felt a little shy again.
"Boom!"
A drum beat, and a magnetic male voice came from the darkness.
"A long, long time ago, when there were no human races, Beastkin, or even this world existed, it was the age of gods, and they practiced in the endless darkness... until an ancestor god named Pangu , who created the world..."
"Boom!"
A drum sounded, and candlelight blazed behind the white curtain, illuminating the white curtain, as if Pangu opened the sky.
"Okay, don't be afraid." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and let go of Catherine's palm. He felt his arm waving, so he reached out to grab it, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Thank you." Catherine said softly, crossing her hands together, feeling a little lost in her heart, and feeling like she wanted to be caught for a while longer.
"En." Liu Feng nodded softly.
The sound of the small drum of 'dong dong dong' sounded, and with the provocation of the yueqin, the erhu pulled, and the magnetic sound came from behind the white curtain.
These soundtracks made Catherine's eyes brighten, and she sat up straight suddenly, as if opening up a new world, the rhythmic thud, the poignant strings, etc.
If she didn't still have reason, she would have rushed behind the white curtain to find out what kind of instrument it is that can make such a heart-pounding sound.
"It's been a while since the legend. It was a new era. There are many continents in the whole world. It's a continent that is much larger than our current Forbidden Mountain Range. The most important ones are these continents. Niu Hezhou..."
While speaking, many strangely shaped plates appeared on the white screen, forming a world map. This is the prehistoric world.
"And the story begins in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou, where there is a mountain called Huaguo Mountain with a divine stone on it. One day, the divine stone burst and a stone monkey flew out of it..."
Another triangular mountain appeared on the white screen, and then it split open, and a figure jumped out of it, it was a shadow puppet in the shape of a monkey.
These shadow puppets, drums, yueqin, erhu and other things were all brought by Liu Feng from the earth, and then taught to his subordinates.
As more and more figures appeared on the white screen, the tone of the dialogue attracted all the girls, and they didn't dare to show the atmosphere, and they all watched with gusto.
On the contrary, Liu Feng dozed off a little bit. The shadow puppet show was very new to Beast Ear Girls and the others. It was equivalent to the 80s of the Earth when anyone with a TV could attract the whole village to watch.
But for Liu Feng, who has been baptized by the earth's modern network, the shadow puppet show is really not attractive, so it must be fresh at the beginning.
Liu Feng can fully imagine how popular this shadow puppet theater will be. It is predictable that it will be full every day, and you can get soft hands with a single ticket.
The steamed stuffed bun shopkeeper, "Hey, hey! What do you want?"
Stone Monkey, "I'm hungry, I want a steamed stuffed bun."
The steamed stuffed bun shopkeeper, "Where are the coins? Three steel coins for one steamed stuffed bun."
Stone Monkey, "I don't have any coins."
"..."
"Boom boom boom!!!" The drums sounded repeatedly.
"Foretell what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down." A voice that made people want to curse came from behind the white curtain.
Yes, the first shadow puppet show: The Stone Monkey Comes Out of the Mountain is over.
Afterwards, the black cloth of the window was pulled away, and the light came in from the outside. Liu Feng saw that all the girls were pouting, and even Avery was also pouting, with a look of unfinished thought.
This is clearly the beginning to open up the world view, and then the stone monkey is traveling across the ocean and is inquiring about where to go to learn a teacher, this is gone, this is not something that makes their hearts go up and down.
Some of them have read the novel "Journey to the West", but how can reading novels be as good as shadow puppets? The interaction between the shadow puppets and the change of tone of speech make them feel good no matter how they read it.
"Your Excellency Liu Feng, why did you disappear so soon?" Catherine turned her head and looked at Liu Feng eagerly, with an expression of wanting to see.
"It's been four or ten minutes now." Liu Feng was helpless, it seemed like he couldn't feel the passage of time when he watched a shadow puppet show.
"Can you do it again?" Darlene stretched her head and said softly, "It's okay to see the repetition."
"Master, do you want to come again?" Viya asked shyly, her notepad was blank, she just read it, but didn't write down any shortcomings.
"Master, let's play it again." Annie pouted and shouted, she also wanted to watch it again.
Liu Feng turned his head and glanced around, seeing the longing in the eyes of the girls, he nodded helplessly, "Then let's play it again."
"Yeah!" The girls cheered and all sat down immediately.
The windows were sealed again with black cloth, candles were lit behind the white curtain, drums, erhu, and yueqin sounded again.
In the second scene, the stone monkey apprenticed to the teacher and started the show.
Liu Feng sat quietly, watching the shadow puppetry from another world with the girls, but his thoughts wandered far away.
He was thinking, if he really moved a laptop to play Journey to the West, would it scare the beast ear girl into a fool?After all, there are special effects such as flying through the clouds and riding the fog.
Well, this is just something Liu Feng thinks about. He hasn't figured out how to deal with the consequences of moving here. After all, it's not good to scare people.
He doesn't want a drastic change in the temperament of the beast-eared girls.
Chapter 0336 items to bring to the auction.
"Hey, have you heard? There is a new store in the commercial street, and there is a long queue there."
"I heard that it seems to be a kind of performance called shadow puppetry."
"Huh? Have you visited?"
"Of course, I was among the first to see it. It's super invincible and beautiful. It turns out that our world was created by an ancestor god named Pangu..."
Discussions like this are spreading everywhere in Saba City. Today is the second day after Liu Feng watched the shadow play. After watching the shadow play, Liu Feng corrected some flaws and opened the shadow play.
Tickets are priced according to the front and back of the seat. The front three rows are for two copper coins, the middle three rows are for one copper coin, and the back three rows are for five steel coins.
On the morning of the opening, the door of the shadow puppetry store was crowded. Many people stood at the door and waited for the 10-minute performance. So willing, so they were all taken up by those businessmen.
There are ten performances a day, four 10-minute performances, two 10-minute intervals for performers to rest and clean the venue, four performances in the morning, four performances in the afternoon, and two performances in the evening.
In Saba City, five out of ten people know about shadow puppetry, and those who don't know about it are working, and the whole city will know about it in two or three days.
Today, Solo also came to see the shadow puppet show. After queuing for two hours, it was his turn to enter. After entering, he handed over two copper coins at the counter, and walked into the hall with a note with the number five on it. .
When we got to the first row...
"Huh? Your Excellency Tori, are you coming to the shadow puppet show too?" Solo looked at Tori who was sitting in the sixth seat.
When Tori heard someone calling him, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to see Solo, and said softly, "It's Mr. Solo, and you are here too. I heard that the shadow play is very good, so I accompanied my wife to see it."
He had already been to two shows in a row. They were going to watch the same shadow puppet show for the third time now, and it was a repeated shadow puppet show, but the husband and wife watched it with great interest.
"Yeah, I also listened to everyone's discussion." Solo sat down and waited for the show to start.
"Trust me, you won't be disappointed." Tori chuckled lightly. He stood up and walked to the counter outside. He was paying for the ticket.
The shadow puppet show was arranged by Liu Feng in this way. A new plot was added every seven days, and during these seven days, the previous plot was repeated.
For example, "The Stone Monkey Comes Out of the Mountain" will be performed for seven consecutive days; after seven days, the story of "Stone Monkey Apprentice" will be added, and then the number of performances will be determined according to the number of votes watched for the two plays, and so on.
It is conceivable that a "Journey to the West" is completely performed by shadow puppetry, which is impossible in ten years, and the ultra-long serial "Journey to the West" shadow puppetry was born.
There will definitely be other stories added in the future. As a traveler, there is not only one "Journey to the West" that can be performed, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Liaozhai" and so on, there are all kinds of novels.
Of course, all of this requires Liu Feng to translate it into a foreign language, and then adapt it. When it really hits the white screen, it really has to wait.
...
"Boom boom boom!"
With the sound of drums, the shadow puppetry officially began...
During the viewing process, everyone in the room was muted, staring blankly at the white screen, and listening to the story carefully.
"..."
