Chapter 22: The Circus

The presenter, wearing a button-down tuxedo, announced the start of the show, and the audience immediately fell silent, their eyes glued to the stage.

At the point where the light focused, a brown bear stepped on a large leather ball, followed by a young female animal trainer. The crowd erupted in cheers, as if it was the first time he had seen this scene, and Kazi thought it was nothing surprising to be surprised, much easier than he was standing on the ball and swinging.

The red and white ball rolled off the stage, and then it began to perform the fire ring, and the audience felt quite novel, the puppy tiger had never seen the dog jump the fire ring, and the bear had never seen the fire ring also jump the fire ring. The brown bear was clearly highly trained, jumping back and forth without panic, and its fur was trimmed so short that it didn't seem to touch the scorching air.

Let's not talk about stepping on a two-wheeled vehicle, this one is relatively simple.

The curtain was opened and two long wires were fixed to the steel platform more than three meters high, and it was about to perform tightrope walking. Seeing this, the audience gasped, whether the tightrope can withstand the weight of the brown bear is uncertain, just look at the height...... Is it usually possible to climb a tree more than three meters high?

This qualitative brown bear did not disappoint the audience, its strong and powerful limbs are useless against the thin rigid wire, and it is effortless to walk the tightrope, so if you don't want to fall, you have to take every step seriously.

There are two little monkeys in the circus, one male and one female, who are versatile and skilled in all kinds of tricks. As is customary, they were supposed to appear in the next scene, but for some unknown reason, this time they did not appear, and instead they were an adult leopard. Not only can it climb pipes, roll on the spot, and walk upside down, but it can also sing and talk, winning a round of applause from the audience.

Ordinary performances such as fire-breathing, ball throwing, and clowns are watched a lot on TV and on the streets, and they get bored of watching too much.

The wonderful finale is placed at the end, a man wearing a costume and a smile mask appears, and everyone in the audience thinks he is going to perform a Noh play, but in fact, he wants to perform a masterpiece. An assistant came out with a white-edged sword, and in order to test the sharpness of the sword, he specially invited the audience below to come up and touch it, and it was no problem to use it to cut watermelons through cardboard.

But what is he going to do with this sword? Do you want to perform slashing?

In fact, the audience guessed not all right, this man is going to use it for seppuku. I saw a gray-black silk cloth descending in front of him, soft and light, and he could see the figure inside. He leaned sideways, holding the real sword in both hands, then held it in his back hand and took a deep breath.

At the moment when everyone was holding their breath, the man suddenly stabbed himself in the abdomen, and the blade of the sword went directly through his waist, and some female viewers in the audience couldn't help but shout. In order to make it clear to everyone, the man slowly turned around, and the sword did indeed penetrate his body, but not a drop of blood dripped down.

A nice gentleman in the back seat of Kazi picked up his mobile phone and was about to call the emergency number, but suddenly remembered that there was no ambulance in this town. Originally, the circus has always maintained a light and amusing atmosphere, but this performance is bloody and shocking, and Kazi is very strange, how did the man do it?

After that, the man covered the sword with a tissue, and then slowly pulled out the sword, and he also stretched it out of the silk cloth, and the slender sword body was still as white as ever. The silk cloth slowly faded, and the wound was not visible from the man's body, but the clothes were torn through a hole, and the audience was stunned for two or three seconds, and then erupted in long-lasting applause, and the mood was high.

The good was still to come, and the sword was like a prop, and it could no longer satisfy the man, so he threw away the sword and lay on his back on the ground. The audience didn't know what dangerous thing he was going to do, so they had to wait with wide eyes.

I saw four assistants come out pushing a small cart with a stone slab on it, and they lifted it and carried it to the ground. The host also invited four middle-aged people to come up and carry the slate, and several people moved it off the ground for ten seconds, and it was not enough to walk a few steps.

The assistants carried the heavy slate directly above the man and pressed it against his chest, but the man didn't seem to react, but the movement of his hands holding the slab proved that he was still alive. Being pressed by such a heavy object, the average person would have suffocated to death long ago.

The trick of smashing boulders in the chest has been performed in other places, usually by large men and muscular men of extraordinary physique, who have good control over their breathing.

A stone hammer appeared in the hands of one of the assistants, who picked it up in both hands and hesitated slightly in the face of the man who was pressed against the stone slab. A group of audience members shouted at the top of their voices, cheering for him, hammer down, people will be crushed to death and not hammered.

As if determined, the assistant raised the stone hammer and turned his head to look at the man lying on the ground. Kazi couldn't bear to look any further, and covered his eyes with his hands, and his whole body straightened, and a little girl next to him saw it, and covered her eyes like him, she thought that this group of people was still performing magic tricks.

These few seconds seemed to pass an hour, only a "bang" was heard, the slate shattered into two pieces, the man stretched his hands straight, and did not move, no one knew whether he was dead or alive. Only the nearest assistant threw away the stone hammer and took a few steps back in succession, and the audience saw panic in his eyes.

The medical staff in front of him were about to rush forward to rescue him, but at this moment, a miracle happened.

The man's fingers moved, his head turned from side to side a few times, and he "woke up" in the expectant and anxious eyes of everyone. He got back to his feet, patted his chest to show that he was intact, and jumped up and down like a nobody, striking a triumphant pose.

The audience was relieved, and Kazi also opened his eyes, and the light rods that shook around him were like small grass swaying in the grassland, and the cheers came one after another.

The man ended with a very real joke that he had just fainted from fright.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that the circus performance finally came to an end, and the people present left in an orderly manner in the direction of the door. Kazi originally planned to flash people, but he suddenly found that he didn't take a video, and he didn't know how to explain to Xiaomo after he went back, which was really a headache.

At that moment, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind, and Kazi turned around in shock, and it was only when the woman took off her sunglasses that he recognized who she was.

"Sister Aoi, it turns out that you are also here."

"Uh-huh, why are you the only one?"

"Hey, they're very busy, and I'm the most idle." Kazi said as he snatched the popcorn from Yukui and gulped it down, "Aren't you also a person?" ”

"Hahahaha, my friend just left, unlike you, sitting in the VIP seat."

Kazi flattened his mouth with some dissatisfaction, returned the popcorn to her, and told Xiaomo about agreeing to make a video.

"It's not simple, I took the video, I'll just copy it to her later." Hakui hurriedly stood up, "Ah, it's time, it's time for me to go." ”

"Sister Aoi......" Kazio begged her, "Is it okay to give me the video?" I want to see it. ”

"There's no time, I have to go back, you can ask her tomorrow." Or come to my house, huh? You're not leaving? ”

"The final performance was so shocking that I went to ask him for an autograph."

"Huh? I can't help you, but don't toss too late. ”

"yes, got it."
