Chapter 14: Wu Ansu's first time
(Read more)
The customers at the adjacent table, who were still in the mood of watching jokes, were all stunned, and after a few seconds of silence, the audience applauded!
"Little brother is a professional magician, right? I think this level is enough for the Spring Festival Gala! ”
"Little brother, it's not worth it to trouble the soy sauce god for a plate of stew, why do you have to ask for gold and diamonds or something!"
"It's wonderful! One more! One more! ”
Although the Chinese people always talk about gods and ghosts, in fact, the vast majority of them are atheists, so their perception of magic will not be like those foreigners who think "it's amazing, it's just a miracle", but firmly believe that they must have been deceived, and then spare no effort to try to expose this scam.
Because of this peculiar atmosphere, magic is not popular in China, and most folk magicians can only perform on small stages such as nightclubs or wedding celebrations, and the audience is quite limited.
Most of the people present have a concept of magic, and most of them only stay on the small tricks such as changing cards into coins in the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, and with the revelation of some good deeds after the fact, the magic that I thought was amazing became boring in an instant.
But in front of Li Mengnan, who is based on local materials, there are no special props or childcare street magic, which completely subverts their concept of magic.
The untraceable authenticity is the charm of street magic, which is far from being comparable to the stage magic that requires a lot of special props and cannot be seen up close.
After all, Wu Ansu had long known that Li Mengnan had a lot of tricks, and although he felt a little surprised, he didn't have the uncontrollable excitement of the other people around him.
But after a moment, the woman's unique intuition made her suddenly realize that something seemed wrong, and hurriedly looked down at the table in front of her.
The plate was empty - it had stolen her share!
"Li Mengnan! Do you want to die? ”
Looking at Li Mengnan, who stuffed his cheeks like a greedy hamster and hurriedly eliminated the "evidence of the crime", Wu Ansu was really ashamed and annoyed, except for her parents since she was a child, even the few boyfriends she had never made such an ambiguous move as eating a plate of food, but she didn't expect to be picked up by this bastard.
This was supposed to be the first time that he was blushing and heartbeat, and Wu Ansu cut Li Mengnan's heart on the spot.
"Armed police officer, don't be so stingy...... Or do I give it back to you? ”
"Get out! Don't disgust me! ”
Wu Ansu was powerless to press the sudden jumping temples, she was sure that as long as she nodded, this Li Mengnan would definitely spit out the stewed seeds that she had eaten just now...... Others dare not say that this Li Mengnan can definitely do it.
After a long time, seeing that Li Mengnan had no intention of performing again, the surrounding customers no longer coaxed, and returned to their respective seats one after another to continue eating.
"Li Mengnan, how did you change that magic just now?"
The more Wu Ansu thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt, obviously he was opposite Li Mengnan, but he couldn't see any flaws at all, and the stew seemed to come out of the plate directly.
"A trickster doesn't reveal the secrets of a trick to the audience, that's the rule - unless you're also a trickster." Li Mengnan was bored playing with the soy sauce pot, as if the ordinary plastic soy sauce pot for two yuan a piece was really a peerless treasure.
"And when did you steal my plate?" Wu Ansu simply changed his question.
"When the first spell fails." Li Mengnan didn't keep it secret this time, after all, this is not the key technique, "But I only took the stew, but I didn't touch your plate." ”
Wu Ansu seemed to understand a little, but he seemed to be even more confused.
"Don't waste limited brain cells, if the trick is so easy to be seen through by a layman like you, the trickster won't be passed down to the present......" Li Mengnan put down the soy sauce pot, burped comfortably, stretched his waist with his hands behind his head, and said casually: "The stew of this stall must be the most authentic of you here, right?" I don't think the other people around me who sell stews are as good as this one......"
"Not really...... Everybody is just doing what they can to help. Wu Ansu sighed lightly, looking at the middle-aged woman next to the food stall with a little sympathy in her eyes.
"The stall owner has two daughters, about a year ago, the youngest daughter who has just entered junior high school was diagnosed with uremia and needs to rely on regular hemodialysis to maintain her life......
Li Mengnan couldn't help but be in awe, how many people have sharpened their heads to drill into government offices in recent years, and they have to win this "golden job bowl" that will never be unemployed even for several years, and this stall owner's resignation to save his daughter is definitely worthy of admiration.
"Great motherly love, isn't it? And you can't imagine that her two daughters are not her own, but the children brought by her remarriage partner......"
Wu Ansu's exclamation made Li Mengnan fall silent, and suddenly asked for a moment: "Is this a situation like her...... Don't you have any relief measures? ”
The civil affairs department is responsible for such difficult assistance, but Wu Ansu also knows that in the eyes of ordinary people, the police officers who deal with them the most are more representative of the national government, so he didn't explain much, just shook his head and said: "We have done everything we can, we have re-applied for medical insurance for her little daughter, applied for assistance from the Red Cross, and even made several donations for her...... But in the face of the near-astronomical cost of treatment, this is a drop in the bucket. ”
"What about the news media?"
"We have also contacted local TV stations, but there are so many people like her who need help that one report a week is already the limit, and they will arrange interviews as appropriate, but the time is uncertain."
It is understandable that the TV stations are not specialized rescue agencies and cannot broadcast such interviews as their main program.
And in order to achieve the best fundraising effect, this kind of help information must have a sufficient buffer time, if one a day, or even several people a day, too scattered donations can not have the desired rescue effect.
Li Mengnan closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, so he suddenly got up and picked up a small light-colored tablecloth that had faded from a pile of garbage thrown by someone in the corner of the alley.
"Armed police officer, this time I invite, don't fight with me!"
"What are you going to do?"
As soon as Wu Ansu saw Li Mengnan's seemingly bright smile, she knew that he must be thinking about some kind of idea, but she didn't bother to guess, after all, a normal person can never understand the world of a mentally ill person.
Wu Ansu has become more and more convinced that Li Mengnan is telling the truth when he says that he is a mentally ill person.
