A comment popped up in the livestream chat: "This village gala is pretty interesting, very creative. Most importantly, there are no lectures."
"Too bad there's no crosstalk or skits."
"Well, it's a village gala. The talent pool is limited, so we can't be too demanding."
"Whoa, Brother Xiang is finally making his appearance! Is he going to play the drums?"
All eyes were on Li Xiang as he brought his Big Red Bullhide War Drum—the one big enough for a person to stand, no, lie down on—onto the stage. He actually could have carried it by himself, but Lei Jiaming insisted on helping, so the two of them carried it up together.
"Thank you all so much for your support. Thank you to my friends and neighbors, thank you to the fans in the livestream, and thank you for your encouragement and gifts. Next, I will be performing a piece I've carefully prepared for you all: *Qin King's Battle Music*!"
