The Farm Life Of a "Fool"

Chapter 100

Performance

When Xu Ran and the others returned home, everyone else did as well. They didn't have to cook because it wasn't supper time, and there was nothing else to do, so the group of people gathered around the fire in the living room to keep warm.

It was really uninteresting, according to Xu Ran. After all, they couldn't spend all of their time playing chess, so they needed to find something else to do. The goal was that everyone's gaze was drawn to him. Xu Ran racked his mind and grasped his hair!

There were numerous forms of amusement available in modern times. They were eventually supplanted by computers and cell phones. He still remembered the ones from his childhood.

However, it appeared that they were not appropriate for a large number of adults to play. What's more, there was no TV to watch! He was quite irritated!

TV!

Xu Ran had an epiphany: he could act without watching TV! He recalled telling Tangtang and Guoguo about the stories in 'Journey to the West.'

Even Liu Tong, Mr. Hu, Tangtang, and Guoguo's friends were fortunate enough to have heard of them.

"Tangtang, Guoguo, do you recall the stories of Monkey King that I told you before?" Xu Ran turned around and asked Tangtang and Guoguo.

Tangtang and Guoguo nodded hard, "Yes, I do."

Xu Ran asked again, "Then to whom have you told the stories? Can you find a few people who remember them? Let's do something fun."

Tangtang and Guoguo's eyes widened as soon as they heard the word 'fun.' Since Dad said so, it must be enjoyable. As a result, the two kids started reporting to him on who they had told the story to.

Xu Ran said, "You two, go to find some of these friends. Dad will prepare props for you. Go quickly!"

When Tangtang and Guoguo realized Xu Ran was serious about it, they dashed out. Xu Ran overheard Tangtang saying the names he was going to look for and the ones Guoguo was going to look for as they were running.

Instead, Xu Ran went to arrange props. The others appeared dazed, and Zhuo Yun and Qin Shuwen had no idea who Monkey King was.

Xu Ran always carried something into the house when he returned. It started with a bamboo stick. Then there was a wooden rake with a large board attached to a wooden rod that resembled a halberd. There were also a variety of other items.

In short, they looked very weird.

Tangtang and Guoguo returned quickly, followed by a huge number of children, some with familiar faces and some with unfamiliar ones.

Xu Ran inquired about how many stories they had heard and how well they recalled them. Xu Ran began assigning roles once the children told him what they knew.

Tangtang portrayed Tang Sanzang (the monk), and Guoguo played Monkey King, because they knew the most. Xiaobudian was Sha Wujing, and Dahu was Zhu Bajie (Pigsy).

The remaining characters were assigned after the four major roles had been assigned. Monkey King Subdues the White-Skeleton Demon was the title of today's scene.

It was Tang Sanzang's first encounter with a monster after he had taken three disciples. Xu Ran had also planned the three people who White-Skeleton Demon would transform into.

Then he taught them to repeat their lines. As to the action, they could improvise!

Xu Ran acted as the voice-over and background.
