58 57.7.3
Bell bell, bell bell, pale and lifeless bell sound like a skeletal horse's neck, an aged brass bell, emitting a piercing sound, as if it hit the depths of the soul.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, like a pure black curtain, and an inconspicuous wooden frame appeared on the curtain, no one knew how it appeared, the border floated and swayed in the sky, and a man appeared slowly, he squeezed his body into the frame, and made a stubborn shape, which was a row of almost irrefutable fonts: circus.
It's hard to imagine how a living person can put on such a difficult appearance?
Don't believe it, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
**
Before the first rays of the morning sun were brightened, the dark clouds in the sky were still strong and stuck in place, like a curtain, and the wooden frame floating on it swayed, and just as the person who stayed in the wooden frame tried to climb out, a gust of wind blew, and the man's deformed fingers moved, and he did not grasp the wooden frame, and just detached.
It was like plasticine falling off from the mold, being pulled out by a naughty child, and the plasticine fell to the ground, colliding with the ground with a dull sound.
"Ah, he's too old to fit in. ”
"Go and tell the regimental commander. ”
"I have spoken to the head of the troupe, and the instructions given to me by the head of the troupe are to abandon him, he is too old to remain in the circus. For the sake of his hard work for the regiment for so many years, I will spare his life, hoping that he will be lucky enough to survive. ”
"Huh, did the head of the regiment say that?"
"Shh......h Everyone knows what to do, don't say it. Do you know what to say when you go back?"
"You know, the sign of the circus is so dead that it is absolutely impossible to come back to life. ”
"That's good. ”
**
The first rays of the morning sun still appeared as usual, and the dark clouds were finally blown away by the wind. The restaurant was enjoying the first rays of sunlight, and in the midst of this peaceful atmosphere, suddenly there was a crackling sound from inside the restaurant.
"Damn, it's a step too late!" Zhang Beibei made a face, rushed to the roof of the restaurant, hung himself on the clothes pole, and began to bask in the sun and cultivate.
Then there was a crackling sound in the corridor, and Mr. Apple Tree, Dry Fish, Ying Long, and Night Candle all ran out of the hurry to bask in the sun, they also needed to cultivate. Even Li Qingliu's sweater flew out by itself and hung it on the clothes pole, and the little black hair faced the direction of the sun, still absorbing the first wisp of purple gas in the morning.
It's something that happens every morning, though...... Morning cultivation is the most important, but everyone prefers the soft big bed, and every time they will run up at the last moment, and go back to sleep after they are groggy after cultivating.
After practicing, Zhang Beibei jumped down from the clothes pole, stood in front and stretched, sleepiness hit again, he staggered back as if he was drunk, and almost fell off the roof of the building with one foot, which made him sober up a little, and then out of the corner of his eye, he saw a 'person' lying on the open space in the distance.
I have to say that the location of the restaurant is really remote, although the front is quite prosperous, but the back is the woods, there are not many people, there is almost about to become the private territory of the restaurant, it is a place where the Tibetan mastiff must go every day to spread fun, he goes out to catch rabbits and passes through here.
Rubbing his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, Zhang Beibei muttered a few words back, leaned into Li Qingming's ear and muttered for a while, the latter made a confused "um" sound, and then the goods had to get up and come to the counter to rummage for magic weapons.
Fortunately, there was a suitable magic weapon, and when he came to the roof of the building again, he threw the magic weapon out like fishing, and the wonderful magic weapon was rolled up by the people in the distance and pulled back by him. Carrying this extremely weird-looking, very light person back, he casually found a room and threw it in, and Zhang Beibei came back and continued to sleep.
The restaurant is basically closed during the day, and everyone sleeps until they wake up naturally, and then get up to make food. Li Qingming felt that his physical condition was very good, so he took the initiative to cook breakfast, and the table was full.
"Boss, what about the guy you picked up in the morning? He's alive, not dead. Zhang Beibei took a bite of fritters, took a sip of the soy milk in front of Li Qingming, and then changed his own, his own temperature was just right, and Li Qingming's was a little hot.
Picking up the cup and taking a sip of soy milk, Li Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he was sleeping, Zhang Beibei lay in his ear and muttered, "Where are you put?" ”
"Good. Zhang Beibei nodded and began to gobble up and eat.
None of the others were very interested in it, because they weren't human beings and weren't that curious about humans.
After eating, seeing that the hall was cleaned up, Zhang Beibei ran back to open the door, took the person out, ran out and put it on the floor, and said: "That's it, I was lying on the ground when I saw him, I didn't know if he was alive or dead, I picked it up and looked at it and found that he was still alive, so I threw it into the room...... Well, he's still alive, a living person. ”
It didn't feel like a person lying on the ground, but like a bunch. Well, the description of 'a bunch' is particularly accurate.
is not like a human than the original ghost, this is probably the most unhuman person Li Qingming has ever seen. He frowned at the man lying on the ground, motionless, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of his chest, he really looked like a dead man. The bones on the body seem to be dislocated, soft, not coherent at all, the whole person is thin and thin, the bones should not be developing normally, the head is very small, and the eyes are big like aliens.
There are people who are born with deformities, which are congenital, but after later treatment, they will always be the same as normal people. And this person seems to have been formed, deliberately made him look like this, and made him deformed, so what is the purpose of this?
"Can you speak?" His eyes were very pure, moist and moist, but there was a blank inside, he just looked at Li Qingming like this, and there was no reaction.
Broke open this person's mouth, and found that his tongue was still there, but his throat was a little deformed, and his neck was not twisted abnormally, it looked terrible, and he understood the reason why this person couldn't speak, looking at his twisted fingers, Li Qingming also gave up the idea of seeing if he could write, and directly communicated in another way.
The body is so badly damaged, but the soul is always whole. Li Qingming forced the yin blood in his body to the part of his eyes, and the leather band on his wrist slipped down to the palm of his hand, and with a slight shake, the leather band turned into an iron hook-like hook, stretching into the person's body, hooking out his soul. With the other hand, he took out a talisman and put it on the man's forehead, implicating his detached soul.
It's much easier to communicate this way.
His name is Xiaopai, and he remembers that he was still a normal child, with fat limbs like lotus roots, very big eyes, and a small nose and mouth. Later, he began the so-called 'training', first of all, he had to break most of the bones in his body to make the body easier to shape, and the joints should be able to dislocate, especially the ligaments must be thicker and thicker, so that he could do many actions that normal people can't do.
"My task was to get into a wooden frame and turn it into a circus sign. "The soul of the little brand is a half-grown child, not very tall, about fifteen or sixteen years old," at first it hurt very much, I cried every day, I didn't want to do this kind of work, but then the people in the circus comforted me, saying that it would be good if I cut off the pain nerves. I don't know what it was, only that my body was cut open...... After that, I didn't feel any pain......"
The small sign whispered, "Then it was easy for me to stuff myself into a wooden frame and slowly turn into a circus sign." Whenever there is a circus performance, I am always the first to appear, and I think that's great......"
"This time...... This time I made a mistake and fell out of the wooden frame, and the circus people didn't want me...... I know I'm too old to be a small brand, and they've found a new one. I'm like the rest of the circus old people, and when I reach a certain age, I leave ......"
"Do you think this is normal?" Li Qingming looked at the soul of the small brand and said lightly.
glanced at Li Qingming in surprise, Xiao Pai didn't know why he asked like this, because in his world, there were only these things.
"I'm telling you, I'm not normal. Li Qingming returned to the question he had just asked, he moved his wrist and sent the soul of the small brand back into his body, and said after a moment of silence, "It's time to accumulate merit." ”
When the soul of the small sign spoke just now, Zhang Beibei also heard it, he stepped back, looked at the small sign lying on the ground, and said with palpitations: "Boss, is there such a crazy thing? Let me go and bomb that donkey circus!"
"Good. Li Qingming nodded lightly.
Not long after returning to the restaurant, Li Qingming quickly packed up the paper bag, and the rest of the things basically didn't need to be told to everyone to do well. But this time, if you want to bring a small sign, you need to be prepared.
In the end, Mr. Appletree ran out bravely, and the small sign was in a wheelchair, and he was responsible for pushing the wheelchair. Li Qingming took the wooden house that Mr. Appletree's body had turned into, set off with Zhang Beibei, and followed the direction in which the circus left.
It is said that this circus is so mysterious that the audience will never know where he will perform his next play, let alone what kind of show he will perform. But Li Qingming has a small sign in his hand, and he can easily perform tracking skills, follow the traces left by the circus through the two cities, and come to the next city.
This is an inland city, and there has been no rain for many days, and the sky finally stopped clearing that night, and a large dark cloud gathered high in the sky, adding a dull taste to the whole city. The uninformed cheered that it was finally about to rain, and even if it didn't rain, it would certainly not be difficult to make artificial rain, and the informed cheered that the circus was finally here, and how wonderful the legendary show would be at midnight?
Choosing the best hotel in feng shui to live in, Mr. Apple Tree wore a full black suit and tie, and solemnly pushed a small sign that was completely covered by his coat. When entering the elevator, Mr. Appletree couldn't help but shake his legs.
"Shhhh Zhang Beibei kindly reminded.
Immediately he restrained himself, serious and handsome, and left the elevator, and finally entered the room, and Mr. Appletree whispered, "Is there any surveillance here?" Humans are so terrible that they can do that horrible voyeuristic thing, I don't like the city very much!"
"You'll have to learn a little bit more in the future. Zhang Beibei pretended to wander around the room, and also went to various places to study and see if there were any cameras.
Looking at the two of them speechlessly, Li Qingming found a disinfectant tissue to disinfect the cleaned water cup, and said helplessly: "As long as you don't go out alone and stay with me, you won't be photographed by the surveillance." "He still has that ability.
Everyone stayed in the room and waited until the evening. Li Qingming took out a small porcelain bottle from the paper bag, poured out a pill and put it in the mouth of the small brand, this is a big tonic pill made by himself, which has the effect of prolonging life and making a big tonic, which is just right for the small brand.
When midnight finally fell, some people cried out why it hadn't rained yet, why the atmosphere was so dreary, while others waited for the sign to appear under the dark clouds. 166 Reading Network
