This "Sanxian Mountain" temple fair is really lively, all kinds of small traders, stalls to buy and sell old goods, it can be said that there are only what you can't think of here, there is nothing you can't see. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After experiencing the fortune-telling turmoil, Lin Yi finally coaxed Begonia, and then Begonia had to go to see the monkey next to him, saying that there is no such activity in Hong Kong, you must know that monkeys are protected animals, and if you see someone whipping a monkey with a skin, it will be imprisoned. Seeing her so curious, Lin Yi had no choice but to watch it with her.

I saw that in the venue, the monkey man was wearing a ragged clothes, sitting on the ground, speaking a strange local dialect of yin and yang, teaching the monkey a lesson. In front of him, three little monkeys lined up, staring at their master very alertly. The monkey has a rope tied around its neck, and presumably even if it is very obedient in training, it is afraid to run away. The monkey trickster showed his show one by one.

First pretended to fight with the monkey, the monkey jumped with a stick to make a joust, opened his teeth and danced his claws, the owner also hehe, and after a while, he performed a competition, a basketball game, and a few other programs.

The crowd gathered more and more, and the monkey man played as much as he could, playing with relish, and the crowd around him was happy spectators, laughing back and forth.

When Lin Yi was looking at it, he heard that something was wrong around him, and saw a man who was also dressed in tatters walking over with a plate.

Some of the clever people around him began to sneak away, knowing that it was the monkey man's accomplices, and that he had come to collect the money. I have seen this kind of scene a lot on TV before, and it is a scene of performing arts. Although the fee charged each time is not much, and it is okay to give two yuan a piece, many people are still not willing to pay money, so they "look at it for nothing" for a while, and when they see someone collecting money, they hurriedly leave.

The person who collected the money saw so many people leaving, and he was embarrassed to stop him, looking at his yellow and thin face, it seemed that life was not easy.

Lin Yi has also seen the hardships of these "monkey tricksters" in some media, wandering around with monkeys all year round, relying on this half-day reward to live, the income is not high, and they are ridiculed, and they have to starve, separated from their families and live with monkeys.

In the winter, the cold wind is biting, the snow is flying, and sometimes the business is not good, they will hide under the bridge, lean against the corner, take out the hidden baked cake from their arms, break it hard, chew it in their mouths first, and then spit it in their hands and feed it to those little monkeys. This is quite ordinary, and even more, some monkey tricksters treat their own monkeys as sons and let their mother-in-law feed the little monkeys, so these monkeys have been very obedient since they were children, and they don't have those wildness, but they also know how to be grateful, and they know that they have to work hard when performing.

It can be said that the life of monkey tricks is too hard, and most of the people who can stick to it are some older hawkers who have experienced the prosperous monkey era in the 80s.

At that time, people basically didn't have much entertainment, and they were very happy to see someone playing monkeys, and they gathered in a big circle like watching a big opera. At that time, people were also very simple, and when they saw monkeys, they would be very enthusiastic to invite them to their homes, eat and drink, all for free, and even take the initiative to feed the monkeys. It seems that it is an honor to be able to invite such craftsmen. But now, playing monkey has become a lowly profession, not even a profession, and it is almost the same as asking for food. So much so that the almost century-old technique of monkey tricks has gradually been lost. Maybe in the future, there will be no monkey trickers on the rivers and lakes, and there will be no more monkey tricks.

The companion who played the monkey asked for a big circle with a plate, and it was estimated that he only asked for a dozen yuan in bits and pieces, of which the five cents on the plate were the majority. Even many beggars on the side of the road in big cities disdain to look at such five-cent coins, but for these monkeys, they are very grateful to say "thank you" to the reward.

yes, to say some thanks.

Maybe this humble five cents can buy a banana to reward the monkey monkey grandchildren who have worked hard all day; Maybe the five cents can buy a hot steamed bun, and then hide in a sheltered col and eat a full meal. What's more, maybe if you have saved more than five cents, you can go to the big bathhouse, take a beautiful bath, and get a basin of hot water to clean up the dirty monkey hair for those monkeys.

For many people, the wish may be a car of 100,000 yuan, a bag of 10,000 yuan, or a watch of 1,000 yuan, but for them, it is just a steamed bun for five cents. Eating steamed buns, earning pitiful money, sending the saved money home, letting the children go to school, letting the wife dress warmly, and making the old mother and father smile happily.

Wishes, simple and beautiful.

……

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but think about the current online live broadcasts, many female anchors can get a lot of rewards just by relying on their beauty and flirtatious style, and even earn tens of thousands of dollars overnight, but these monkey tricks are so hard, and they are still performing hard to earn five cents. Sometimes Lin Yi wonders whether this era has progressed or regressed; Why are many good things of the ancestors gradually lost, and many people or things that make you incredible have directly become "Internet celebrities" because of a sentence or an emoji.

Lin Yi looked at it for a while, only to feel that it was not easy to train monkeys, how could a beast be trained so cleverly, so lively, and there was no wildness at all. Since ancient times, there has been a line of monkeys, which seems to be really extraordinary. It's a pity that those monkeys, look at what Shi Xiangyun said, which monkey didn't chop off his tail? In order to fill the belly of man, these poor monkeys do not know how many beatings they have to endure to become like this, do you say that it has lost its wildness, has it lost the joy of wild beasts, or is it one step closer to human civilization?

The one who asked for money with the plate came to Lin Yi and Haitang, Lin Yi took out a hundred yuan without hesitation, put it on the plate, and then said: "Buy some delicious food for those monkeys--- they are too thin, and it is not easy for you." ”

The entertainer who collected the money didn't know which nerve was touched, he glanced at Lin Yi deeply, and didn't say anything, but when he left, Lin Yi saw him quietly wipe his eyes with his sleeve.

Is it windy in the mountains? Maybe there was a wind and sand.

Driven by Lin Yi's reward of 100 yuan, the money given later was at least two or three yuan, and some even took out ten yuan and put it on the plate, and some viewers who wanted to move their steps and wanted to "watch in vain" also stopped moving.

They all heard Lin Yi's words clearly--- "They are too thin, and it is not easy for you."

The human heart is made of flesh.

No matter how mercenary this society is, no matter how much money we look at, we have to touch our conscience, a beating conscience.

……

"Okay, let's go, see what you don't belong to...... I know you like to buy books, and I pulled you to watch the monkey tricks--- now give you free time, there is a bookstall over there, let's go over and have a look. ”

Seeing Lin Yi's solemn expression, others were happy to see the monkey, but he was so serious, Haitang thought he was unhappy and was worried about Taoshu.

Although he was misunderstood by Haitang, Lin Yi didn't explain, just said: "I'm fine, if you like to read it, let's go to other places--- it's very boring to buy books." ”

"Isn't it boring? Hehe, as long as you like! After speaking, Haitang took the initiative to hold Lin Yi's arm, snuggled on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the bookstall and have a look." ”

has a girlfriend who understands his heart so well, what more could a husband ask for.

……

The Sanxian Mountain Temple Fair is famous far and wide, so those who set up stalls to sell used books will also come to the market.

In the eyes of many people, as long as there are many people, there are business opportunities. As for whether these people who come to the mountain to worship God and Buddha, and have fun and entertainment, whether they will buy their goods is another matter.

Those who buy and sell antique jade, as well as imitations, seem to be doing very well today. After all, when you come to this mountain to pray to the gods, you have to invite a god to go back, and there are also some who want to pick up the leaks, fantasizing that they may be able to buy a priceless antiquity for a small amount of money.

Under the effect of greed, everyone is happy. (To be continued.) )
