Chapter 41: Street V
The flow of people moved slowly, and all the way I heard the sound of people applauding or applauding from outside the alley in front of me, suppressing all the gongs and drums on the side.
As soon as Wu Yan and Xia Zihe walked to the mouth of the alley, they heard a few "crackling" sounds, and saw a fire burning on the stage from a distance, and the flames were blazing, soaring into the sky, reflecting the faces of the spectators around the stage red and bright.
I heard the flames that rushed into the air and the flames "banged" in the night sky, like the sound of firecrackers exploding, which scared people and thought that something had happened, but they saw that the flames that exploded were like fireworks, and they scattered one after another, like starlight scattered in the night sky, colorful and bright, causing people to applaud again.
On the stage, there was a woman dressed in red, who smiled and bowed in thanks, and a delicate little girl wearing green with a silver plate in one hand asked for silver coins in front of the stage.
Suddenly, a child's voice sounded in the crowd: "Daddy, what's that one in the sky?"
The child's voice was immature but clear, and immediately attracted people to look up at the air again, only to see that the afterglow of the fireworks that had been like starlight before had not disappeared, and fell to one place, condensed and formed, like a meteorite, and fell straight to the ground in an instant.
The change was so rapid and so striking that most people watched in amazement, and they didn't have time to react. However, the audience watching from a distance on the stage reacted, screamed in surprise, and looked around.
The meteorite fell so fast that it collided with a flag waving in the wind high above the stage, and the flag immediately burst into flames, and in an instant even the flagpole was caught in the flames and burned cracklingly.
On one side of the stage, the men in charge of beating gongs and drums in the acrobatic class also turned their heads to look, as if they were stunned, and they had long stopped beating gongs and drums. The woman in red who was performing on the stage was probably also frightened by this change, and suddenly heard a voice from under the stage, it was the little girl holding the silver basin in her hand, and she was hurriedly shouting at her: "Hurry up and get out of the way!"
At this time, the people around the stage also reacted, seeing that the meteorite was about to fall above the stage, they also panicked and wanted to scatter and escape, but they heard a "boom" on the stage, and looked back, only to see a burst of smoke and dust, and the rest of the stage was safe, only the place where the woman in red was standing just now was smashed out of a big hole by the meteorite, and there was a tongue of fire in the hole, and the bottom thought that it was on fire, and the woman in red who had performed was nowhere to be seen, whether it was life or death, it was impossible to know.
Some people in the crowd screamed, some wanted to check the size of the fire, some wanted to know if the woman in red was alive or dead, and some wanted to avoid the place where the accident happened, however, there was a dense flow of people around the stage, and people in the distance were curious to see the outcome, so they couldn't move even if they wanted to leave.
The little girl in green who was standing under the stage suddenly jumped onto the stage, and after reassuring the audience with a loud voice "Don't be afraid", she sent the silver plate in her hand to the big hole that ignited the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the originally dark cave was once again full of fire, and the tongue of fire rolled, and the fire spread along the hole to the stage. People didn't even have time to scream, only to see the hot flames in the cave fly and roll down into the air, and after rolling down, it turned out to be a dwarf in red, round and rolling and bowing to the people next to the stage, and then stretched out his hand to the hole in the middle of the stage, and immediately a soft wattle took the dwarf's hand, and then, the woman in red just now appeared in front of everyone again.
Some of the people had already reacted and applauded excitedly, and the applause woke up more people, and the cheers and applause came like a wave.
On the stage, the woman in red, the dwarf, and the little girl in green smiled, bowed to everyone under the stage, and went off the stage.
