Chapter 181: The Performer
What's in the lake?
Xiao Zhi felt a little angry, he wasn't angry that he could encounter unclean things wherever he went, but he was angry and finally wanted to take a two-day vacation to relax, but he didn't give him a chance......
For the things in the lake, his first reaction should not be the Jason who has made more than a dozen films, although that guy only has physical damage, but he has an immortal body, holding a big knife in his hand to cut from south to north and then from north to south, killing people without blinking an eye......
Don't ask if that guy's eyes will dry if he doesn't blink for a long time, Xiao Zhi is very sure that he won't, because Jason was the one who drowned in the crystal lake before his death, and people all over the world have dry eyes, and it won't dry ......
Xiao Zhi inquired from nearby residents that this lake is not called Crystal Lake, but Black Swan Lake.
Why is it called Black Swan Lake, it is said that there is a story, in the distant past, there were seven swans favored by fairies, using fairy magic to turn into seven beautiful swan girls, one day a prince passed by and saw seven beautiful swan girls, he wanted to marry the most beautiful of the seven as a princess......
The Seven Swan Maidens were born of seven swans in the same litter. The first six swans all had a little sesame-sized black spot on the back of their necks for some unknown reason, while the last seventh swan was snow-white without a single blemish.
They were turned into men by the fairies, and they still retained the black spots on their bodies, and when they learned that His Royal Highness was going to marry the most beautiful one as the princess, the six swan girls in front of them were ill-willed, and when they fell asleep at night, they turned back into swans, so they plucked off the white feathers on the youngest swan and draped them over themselves to cover the unsightly spots.
In the daytime, the swan girls were covered by feathers, and the spots were naturally gone, and the seventh swan girl woke up because the feathers were plucked, and her whole body was scarred and looked very ugly. His Royal Highness the Prince naturally did not take her into account in his choice, and because the other six swan girls were all exactly the same good-looking, the prince simply married all six of them.
The seventh swan girl was angry and ran to the prince's kingdom to cry, but the prince did not have a bird, and she drove him out. Heartbroken, the seventh swan girl jumped into a lake and died, her soul transformed into a black swan, and took revenge on His Royal Highness and her sister, killing them all in the room......
But the soul of the Seventh Swan Girl has become a black swan, and her resentment does not dissipate with the death of her enemies, and every year she always chooses a random time to kill seven people in the lake. As a result, Black Swan Lake is beautiful, but it is still surrounded by high fences to prevent tourists and ignorant children from entering.
The fence is never a city wall, as long as people want to die, they can always pass, so many people still drown in the lake every year.
Xiao Zhi was a little surprised, but he was also relieved......
In other words, if you don't lean into Swan Lake, you'll be fine.
Putting his luggage in the villa, he took Egawa Zygoko and Cai Meow to play on the street, and the British in the 70s were like that, compared with the 21st century in the real world, there were not many changes, it can only be said that there are fewer people and not too many tourists. However, there were a lot of street performers performing on the streets of the 70s.
Because smartphones are not as widespread as in later generations, people mostly read newspapers for their pastime, and street performers who hang out outside are quite buying. Xiao Zhi touched Cai Meow's head, thanks to Cai Meow's ability to attract wealth, so that he didn't have to worry about money in the world, if he didn't have money, he could only make money by performing cat heads and breaking boulders on this street......
At this moment, a man wearing a white T-shirt in suspenders, with his hair parted in the middle, and a thick pale makeup on his face, walked over, he wore thick white gloves on his hands, and he showed a strange smile towards Xiao Zhi and Egawa Hezi.
Egawa Zyko was taken aback: "Youkai? ”
Xiao Zhi patted her head: "It's so rude, this is a very common street burlesque performer, they are good at performing all kinds of funny tricks to make passers-by happy, and then earn some money as living expenses, relying on serious labor to eat, worthy of respect." ”
Others don't know, Xiao Zhi knows that even in the later generations, those who perform comedy on weekdays and play clowns to make trouble, although they smile and smile, many people are a little depressed in their hearts, and it is difficult for people who create happiness to be happy......
Hearing this, Egawa Zyko hurriedly bowed ninety degrees towards the burlesque performer: "I'm sorry, I'm unreasonable......"
The burlesque performer was stunned for a moment, then he clutched his stomach and laughed silently, and also bowed ninety degrees like Egawa Zyko and then spoke silently.
He raised his head, pressed his hands on the air and gently stroked, his cheeks bulging and bulging, and he made the sound of his palms rubbing against the glass, and he stroked hard, and the sound became faster and faster.
This kind of ventriloquist is probably admirable even for Mary Shaw.
Egawa Zyko applauded vigorously, she has spent almost all her life in an island country, whether it is a human or a youkai, it is rare to see such a foreign cultural element. Xiao Zhi saw that she was very happy to watch, reached out and took out a stack of banknotes from the pocket of his coat and stuffed them into the arms of the burlesque, then turned around and left......
The burlesque performer was stunned, the banknotes, all of them were large-denomination bills, he held them with trembling hands, and bowed desperately to thank Xiao Zhi and Egawa Zyko's departing backs. Everyone is short of money, but his hard-working performance is even more desperate for money......
In this day and age, pulling a random person out of a street performer or a wandering vendor, and investigating it at random, basically has an unhappy sad background, which is the template for the protagonist of the story, but unfortunately there is no aura of the protagonist.
On the street, Egawa Zygoko walked around here and there, bought a lot of handmade toys that looked novel, and bought more snacks that looked good, Xiao Zhi followed behind him and paid with a faint smile, Cai Meow frowned, although it was easy to make money, but casually gave this rival monster flowers, and his heart was still a little uncomfortable.
It also began to spend money, slapping the money in its paws in front of the vendors, opening its mouth to take away the food, for the sake of money, no one would make a cat difficult, and it was a rich man's cat......
Go out of the street and come to a square.
Jiang Chuan Zygozi and Cai Meow's faces froze slightly, and Xiao Zhi felt that something was wrong: "What's the matter, you guys have a bad stomach?" ”
Egawa Zyko's cheeks were slightly red, and she took out a box of pills from her pocket: "Just ...... No, since last time, I've been carrying the kind of diet tablets you bought with me, and it's really easy to swallow two tablets when you eat them. I...... I think there's something wrong with the guy in front of me......"
Follow her fingers.
Xiao Zhi saw a tall and clown performer standing next to the fountain in the square, wearing colorful loose clothes, a big red nose, an exaggerated makeup face, a green exploding head, and a bunch of balloons in both hands were giggling and laughing.
