Chapter 186 The Star of the Theater (Part 2)

The first time she saw the other party, May immediately put her plan of returning immediately behind her.

"Oh my God, May...May!" After approaching, Irene exclaimed in disbelief, then grabbed her hand and pulled it in front of the knight, "Honey, do you know who she is? She is The most famous actress in the Fortress Theater, Miss May! People who want to see her performance can line up from the theater hall to the street!"

Although the words dear made May's heart skip a beat, the habit of acting all the year round made her raise the corners of her mouth reflexively, and nodded slightly, "Hello."

"Of course I know her. You have said that she is the most famous actress. Among the aristocrats in the Western Region, who doesn't know the name of the star of the theater." He sighed and apologized to May. "My wife was rude. I am Filin, hello."

He did not have a registration number, did not declare his identity, and even withdrew his last name. A sense of sadness welled up in May's heart, but she still maintained the most elegant appearance on the surface, "I know you. The number one knight in the Western Region, Sir Flynn Hilt, is known by everyone. It's a pity that I couldn't attend your wedding with Irene because of the tension in the rehearsal. "

"That's all in the past," the knight smiled and shook his head, "I'm a teacher now, and I'm no longer a member of the Hilt family, so you don't need to be so polite." After speaking, he waved his hands to the others , "Let's go back and talk later, you have already applied for a temporary place to live."

teacher? Mei Yi was startled, did you mean the court tutor? The lord of this small town is indeed a prince, but no matter how down-and-out the prince is, he will not find a knight to take up this position. And what does it mean to apply for temporary residence? Shouldn't Irene take the group to a safe and reliable local hotel?

Before she had time to think about these questions, Erin had already leaned over, "Oh my God, I really didn't expect you to come here. If you were to play "Cinderella", it would definitely cause a sensation!"

"Really?" May couldn't deny it. A play name that I had never heard of was probably written by a new playwright. And she didn't have time to rehearse the drama, she came here...just to see how Li Xiaochen was doing, maybe she could help him.

After entering the town, May noticed something was wrong. This is obviously a barren town located outside the border and used as an outpost of a fortress. Why does it look like a new city? The road is covered with gray-black gravel everywhere, and the muddy ground cannot be seen at all, and the street is too wide, almost two carriages can pass side by side.

"What kind of road is this?" Sam asked her doubts. "It's strangely flat to walk on."

"Hey," Irene smiled smugly. "When I first came here, it was full of mud, but now it has become like this. And this is not a road. According to those stonemasons, it's just the foundation of the road."

"They're bluffing you," Luoxia retorted, "Only a house needs a foundation. Things lying on the ground won't collapse no matter what. What kind of foundation do you need?"

"Really, they use a kind of gray powder mixed with stones to pave it, sprinkle water and roll it back and forth with stone rollers until the ground is flat. I thought it was a new way of building roads at first, but the masons said it was It’s what His Royal Highness told me, it seems to be called... what kind of layer of water, it’s the foundation after all!” Irene led the way with her hands behind her back, her long braid dangling back and forth, “The people and cars waiting to go in the future If there are too many, there will be a stone floor here, and that is the real road."

On the slate floor, Mei sneered inwardly. Apart from the inner city of the capital, which other city can pave an entire area with slate? It's good enough to have this kind of wide and flat road. There are still many muddy fields in Longsong Stronghold.

As she went deeper into the town, she saw that many houses on both sides of the road were being demolished, including mud-and-tiled houses and wooden houses. Although they were not new houses, they were far from uninhabitable. Has the lord driven away?"

"No, they all moved to the community."

"Cell?" May asked, "What is that?"

"In the newly built residential area, there are exactly the same brick and stone houses inside," Irene explained. "All the aborigines can be allocated one set. By then, there will be no dilapidated houses in the town."

A masonry house for all? May couldn't believe her ears. This was even more exaggerated than the slate floor. Does she have any idea of ​​the cost of building this kind of house? Since it was hard to speak up in front of Ferlin, May had no choice but to swallow her words.

There were many pedestrians on the street, and they occasionally stopped to say hello to Irene and Feilin. May found that Irene seemed to be a so-called teacher as well.

"Aren't you going to perform a play here?" she asked, "Why do the townspeople call you Teacher Irene?"

"That's my job. Drama is just a part-time job. There is no theater in the town," Irene recounted the summoning of His Highness the Prince. "Although it is an open-air performance, the audience is also civilians, but the salary is calculated according to the standard of the fortress." .I think this is a good opportunity, at least I can exercise myself.”

"Yes, yes, I am very satisfied to be on stage." Gaite and Sam nodded repeatedly.

Open air performances for civilians! May has almost lost the strength to speak. Compared to Irene, she is even more confused about what the Prince Highness who came up with this idea is going to do. Can those people who live for food understand the love and twists and turns in the drama?

In this way, a group of people came to a two-story building.

"This is the teacher's building, but there are only nine teachers in Bianbian Town, so there are still many vacant rooms. Fei Lin has applied for the temporary residence rights of two houses for you. During the performance, you can live here." Irene Handed out two keys, "Gate and Sam share one room, Roxia and Tina share one room, uh, for Miss May..."

"I'll live with you." May said.

"But……"

"I just came here to see how my theater mates are doing," she said with a smile. "After all the time we've worked together in the theater, and you'll probably never come back to the fortress, I want to chat more with you." .You won't dislike me, will you?"

"Of course not!" Irene happily held her hand, "I'm just worried that the room is too small for you to get used to living in it. I also have a lot of things I want to ask you about acting!" After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to The other four said, "Let's put your luggage away first, and then go to my house and sit down and read the script together."

May climbed up to the second floor and followed Irene and Filin into their new home.

Her last hope was dashed.

Although I don't want to admit it, this small room does reveal a comfortable and clean feeling. The tablecloths and curtains are obviously newly purchased, and they are all red and white thin cotton cloth. The floor is swept clean. There was a linen rug. There were several strange cups on the low table in the living room, which immediately caught May's attention. She went up to pick one up and inspected it carefully, but she couldn't tell for a while that its material was light, a bit like wood, but its surface was smooth, and the color was full and colorful, not like a cheap product that ordinary people could afford. There is also a pattern painted on the cup, which seems to be two dolls sticking together affectionately.

"It's a beautiful cup, isn't it?" Irene leaned forward and said, "It's just too expensive. In the convenience market, five silver wolves are sold for one, and four count as one set. The people in the pattern have different poses." Feilin said Bought it for me to celebrate payday, and ended up spending all of my salary in one go. That fool."

"Convenience market?" May deliberately ignored the second half of the other party's sentence.

"Hmm!" She nodded and said, "The market opened by the lord in the town square sells some very exquisite daily necessities, but the prices are not low at all. I can take you to have a look tomorrow."

Mei Yi had mixed feelings in her heart, and everything was completely different from what she expected. She originally thought that as a knight who was defeated and captured without a ransom, even if she was released by the lord, life must be very difficult. Irene didn't have any savings on weekdays, so she couldn't help him with anything other than accompany him to suffer.

At this time, any assistance I give can be of great help to Ferlin Hilt. If he could go one step further and use his influence to persuade the local lord to let her redeem the first knight, maybe he could completely turn the knight's heart around.

But...she found that all her plans had failed, and the other party didn't need her help at all, and could live a good life in Border Town.

So do you want to go back? Choose to leave this place, and forget Ferlin and Border Town together.

May fell into confusion. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
