Chapter Twenty-Four: Ghost Dance



Bi Sheng was utterly impressed by Liang Liang's persuasive skills.

A pair of small eyes, which Mu Shuihua called "the sky never brightens," shone with a mesmerizing light.

This guy not only demanded a huge price, but also caused two whole incidents.

Each additional game means more money earned.

He certainly wouldn't have been able to negotiate such a price for two performances, which would have been two thousand yuan.

Even if Mu Shuihua manages to negotiate a price of 1,600 or 1,700 yuan in two matches here, that would be considered good.

The dance troupe really enjoys this kind of performance. They don't have to worry about selling tickets or setting up tents, and the host usually even provides a meal.

It can save a lot of trouble, which is definitely a blessing for lazy people.

Unfortunately, Liang Liang is not a lazy person.

If you accept a big order, you have to be fully prepared.

The song and dance troupe only has one program throughout the year, and it relies on this one program to make its way in the world. At most, it has a few reserve programs in case of emergencies.

Liang Liang's arrival added a few more items to the song and dance troupe's program.

Even so, this show can only last for six hours at most, which is far from an eight-hour performance.

This also includes Liang Liang's unseemly banter and jokes interspersed throughout.

The two programs currently run for eight hours, so at least eight or nine more programs need to be added.

If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems.

You can't just rely on one show and two performances to get away with it, can you? If the employer uses that as an excuse to deduct money or sue you, you won't win.

We'll need to add a few more acts to make this performance a success.

Before Mu Shuihua returned, Liang Liang and Bi Sheng discussed the selection and arrangement of the program.

"Xiuxiu! Didn't you want a performance? Come on! I'll teach you!"

Xiuxiu came running over like a happy little duck.

"Teach me what kind of program?"

"I'm going to teach you a dance!"

"Teach dance? Are you bragging again? When did you learn to dance?" Xiuxiu was already convinced that Liang Liang was trying to fool her; she had never seen Liang Liang dance before.

"Tch! Are you looking down on me? What makes you think I can't dance?"

"I've never seen you dance."

"You say I can't dance just because you haven't seen me dance? I haven't even seen you give birth yet, does that prove you can't have children?"

"Pah! You're talking nonsense again." Over the past few days, Liang Liang has become familiar with the people in the dance troupe, and has become much more tactful in her speech.

"Do I need to prove myself through dance? Actually, I'm a skilled dancer."

"I don't believe it."

"Now I'll show you something new. Go find some glasses and put them on."

Xiuxiu was a little confused: "I'm not nearsighted, why would I need to wear glasses?"

"I'm worried that your eyes will pop out when you see me dancing, so I'm wearing glasses to cover them."

Xiuxiu laughed heartily: "Stop talking nonsense, I still don't believe you can dance."

"Then watch carefully, I'll only dance it once!"

Liang Liang chose a famous piece from the Holland Dance, "Cold as Ice and Snow," and began to dance to the rhythm.

At first glance, his dance looks like running in place, accompanied by forward, backward, and side slides, like a dancing sprite, creating a three-dimensional magical picture.

This is the ghost dance that became popular in later generations.

When the ghost dance became popular, Liang Liang was no longer young, but that didn't stop him from learning it in just a few tries. After learning it, he became a ghost dance instructor in his neighborhood, leading a group of women ranging from teenagers to women in their fifties and sixties to dance every day.

He thus earned the title of "Commander of the Women's Army in the Beautiful Mountain and Water Community".

During this time, quite a few older women secretly flirted with him.

But since his divorce from his wife, he has lost interest in romantic relationships and no longer has that desire.

Although many dance partners volunteered to be his bed partners, he never slept with any of them.

Looking back now, it seems I missed out on a lot of romantic opportunities.

Time flies and never returns; the past can only be reminisced...

Ghost step dance originated in the paper cat kingdom. It is very simple. As long as you master the basic movements such as running and side sliding, you can let yourself go.

Xiuxiu was stunned on the spot. This dance was a bit like breakdancing, and also a bit like the bouncing dance that was popular a couple of years ago.

Although the dance steps are not many, they are dazzling, like butterflies flitting among flowers, giving the impression of floating on the ground.

Xiuxiu showed great interest and pulled Liang Liang aside to ask him to teach her.

She was a dancer herself and knew some easy breakdancing and modern dance, so Liang Liang taught her and she learned it quickly.

Liang Liang first taught Xiuxiu the two most basic movements: running and side pull.

Xiuxiu learned the dance in less than ten minutes, and then soared into the sky to the music.

Xiuxiu's appearance isn't particularly striking, but she has a good figure.

In terms of figure alone, she was second only to Ming Hongling in the song and dance troupe, and she even had the edge in terms of headlight size.

The ghost dance itself involves jumping and hopping, and Xiuxiu's dance is like a stormy seaside, with surging waves.

Liang Liang stood to the side, using the excuse of giving instructions to watch the game in a civilized manner.

But as he watched, he couldn't stand up anymore.

The headlights are too bright and dazzling. Not only are they dazzling, but they also stimulate certain nerves, which can cause some tissues in the body to deform and become prominent.

Standing there any longer would make these deformed tissues look ridiculous.

Although his mature mental age allows him to resist temptation, his young body is not under the control of his brain.

This damn youthful hormone! Are you trying to embarrass me?

He quickly found a stool, sat down, and even crossed his legs.

You have to cross your legs, otherwise you can't suppress that irresistible charm.

Mu Shuihua, who had gone out to do advertising, returned with four girls and those few milk pudding fans.

Before Minghong Linglanzhi and the others even got off the bus, they saw Xiuxiu's novel dance. Immediately, the flame of youth was ignited in their hearts. They scrambled off the bus and ran over, clamoring to learn it.

The two headlight beams couldn't even cover the light, and now there are eight more. Not to mention titanium alloy eyes, even gold eyes can't withstand them.

Liang Liang quickly picked up his guitar and ran to the side, pretending to express his sorrow.

Mu Shuihua returned and within two minutes learned that the dance troupe had landed a big job.

This is certainly a good thing. If the song and dance troupe had this kind of work all year round, it would be like a windfall.

"You negotiated this down? I don't believe a single punctuation mark!"

Mu Shuihua knew her man perfectly well; he was nothing like him.

"Hehe! It was Xiao Liang who negotiated it. He initially asked for 2,200, but they didn't give him that, so he gave me 2,000 instead."

"I knew you weren't involved. Now that you've made some money, give it to Xiao Liang and the others. Our dance troupe has been relying on him lately; he's our pillar, our little money god."

The little god of wealth that Mu Shuihua was talking about had no idea that a windfall would fall from the sky. He had already begun to instruct the five girls on how to do a group ghost dance.
