Chapter 138: Chapter 132: Not in the Center Position, But Surpassing the Center Position (Double-Length)

Especially when the whole place is dark and visibility is lost, everyone’s attention easily shifts to their hearing. The audience heard only Zhi Zhi’s voice but didn’t see her, and just listening to Ji Xizhi narrate this part was no less spectacular than visual effects.

Everyone listened with great interest. Some who were familiar with storytelling and cross-talk even started to jeer playfully.

The live stream viewers paused for a moment after hearing this part.

[Umm… Stage play turned into a solo cross-talk?]

[I kind of get it but also don’t. Is there a local who can translate it for me!]

[I’m local, let me explain, it’s just…]

[This series of broadcasts indeed has legal education phrases, with some extras slipped in, haha!]

[Whoa, at first I thought Ji Xizhi was just going to narrate to save the scene, but now after hearing this passage, I even suspect the stage was deliberately dark just to let Ji Xizhi have her moment? It’s exceptional! It feels like “Today’s Law” again. Zhi Zhi truly is a professional storyteller. Shouldn’t she try cross-talk or rap?]

[When did she learn the Lishui County dialect? It’s quite interesting hearing it from Ji Xizhi’s mouth!]

The fans started screen recording almost instantly while posting their comments, their eyes wide open gazing at the stage, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ji Xizhi, feeling that this segment of the performance was mysterious and unique.

The storyline of the previous stage play was indeed funny, but solely from a plot standpoint, it wasn’t particularly outstanding. Yet, now with Ji Xizhi saving the scene in the darkness, it instantly became the highlight of the entire stage play.

The anxious audience immersed themselves back into the story on stage.

Director Wang also didn’t expect Ji Xizhi could react so quickly.

The stage control was very swift. She left the unfinished scene to the imagination and, standing in the darkness, used the storytelling method to bring the audience back into the scenario.

It even fit the scene’s setting better.

Only Ji Xizhi dared to make such bold changes to the script on stage.

She not only dared but actually succeeded!

He had just been shouting his voice hoarse to this group of villagers offstage, with no effect at all.

Ji Xizhi said this passage on stage, and the villagers immediately quieted down and listened attentively.

There was even a villager on the sidelines who was about to go home, but upon hearing Ji Xizhi’s voice, turned back and even stepped on his foot.

Director Wang, clutching his numb right foot: …

So irritated!

Ji Xizhi controlled the stage, and the crew quickly discovered that indeed the main light switch had tripped.

Once the power issue was resolved, the lighting technician was able to light up the stage.

The lighting technician also heard Ji Xizhi’s impromptu performance from below.

He placed his hand on the console but didn’t push up the switch, preserving the mystery for a long time.

Until Ji Xizhi concluded her segment and the lighting technician heard the cue in her closing lines, casting a light directly onto the center of the stage.

The audience looked toward the light source with surprise.

But they didn’t see the storyteller.

In the center of the light, with the sound of an erhu tuning, Uncle He, who appeared during the opening, sat in the middle.

However, this time, unlike his debut, Uncle He wore tattered clothes, and the erhu in his hands was also worn out.

The tune he played was even more mournful and touching, compared to the joy of his initial appearance; it felt like heaven and earth.

Audience below: ???

The bleak erhu melody sent chills through the hearts of the audience below.

Moreover, following Ji Xizhi’s brilliant storytelling, this segment was like a wake-up call amidst the humor, with a hint of cruelty, revealing the truth of fraud, resonating deeply.

It’s too tragic, truly too tragic. Being scammed out of money is really too tragic!

[I’m dying of laughter, turns out Uncle He is the real embodiment of the story, hahaha]

[Uncle He’s clothes and erhu were new when he appeared, but now… with this erhu sound, is this what it looks like after being scammed?]

[Uncle He’s expression is just too funny. I’m really going to die laughing!]

Uncle He’s tune triggered laughter across the audience, their stomachs hurting from the laughing.

Yet after laughing, everyone felt a slight worry creeping in.

But this concern didn’t last for more than three minutes before Director Wan, playing the village committee representative, came out covering his ears, telling Uncle He to stop playing, the village had already reported it, they were chasing the money!

Once he said this, the erhu music stopped immediately.

The audience let out a long sigh of relief.

At the end of the stage play, the scammed money was retrieved, and Uncle He wore new clothes, and the performance came to a cheerful conclusion with a joyful erhu tune.
