The thin Zhang Xiaolei struggled to carry the big wooden box onto the stage, and after finally putting it down, he leaned against the box exhausted, panting heavily.

"It's not good, it's going to be whipped!"

He had just taken two breaths, and suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, and hurriedly looked back at Lian He, the deputy head of the circus.

The tall and burly Lianhe sat on a bench with a whip in his hand, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

He glanced at Zhang Xiaolei, and his voice was very soft and weak: "Continue to move the second one." ”

Zhang Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lian He's appearance today, he didn't seem to be feeling well, and he didn't have the desire to whip him.

So Zhang Xiaolei limped to the stage, intending to move the second box.

His leg was not lame, but was whipped with a board by Lian He two days ago, and he is still bruised.

The two boxes are Lianhe's unique skills, and they are always used to open the warm atmosphere.

When the performance comes, he will burrow into one of the boxes, and someone will stick a knife into the box, but the result is that Renhe will end up in the other box unscathed.

This trick is called turning things around, and every time he performs this, the audience will always get a group of applause, and the audience is willing to give some money.

He never teaches people in this unique skill, it is his own housekeeping skill.

Whenever someone asked, he said that he had boundless mana and had transformed his body.

Zhang Xiaolei is convinced of this.

Zhang Xiaolei, who had just moved the box once, was so tired that he felt that the second box was even heavier, and when he was tired and tired of moving the two boxes, Lian He finally spoke: "You go and ask her what her work is today." ”

Zhang Xiaolei wiped the sweat from his forehead and obediently walked to the makeshift tent next to him.

She sat on the bed in the tent and munched melon seeds, and she crossed her legs with a big grin, and in front of her were several little cubs of the circus, squatting on the ground waiting for orders.

Zhang Xiaolei also sat on the ground opposite the man, and the man took a sip of melon seed shells to them, and said: "There is money in the village, we have already investigated, you go to the village to take a look, there is a soot mark in the left corner of the house, which is today's target." ”

The little cubs all nodded their heads again and again, and the boy continued: "When the performance starts at night, don't touch the lights that are lit, just go to the ones that are not lit." If there is gold and silver, take gold and silver, and if there is no gold or silver, take clothes, and do not leave pots and pans behind. If you have a child, take it away, and don't want a girl. ”

It's the circus' livelihood.

After performing in one village, I left overnight and went to the next village to dump the goods.

If you need it, keep it for yourself.

If you don't need it, you can exchange it all for cash.

came out to walk the rivers and lakes, relying on the little spare money given by the old man of the watcher, and the little change he got from selling the Mighty King Kong Pill, he couldn't feed the people in the group.

Zhang Xiaolei secretly thought that he had already walked two states, and he was getting farther and farther away from home, but he didn't know if he could go back in the future.

He can't remember how old he was when he was abducted, but he remembered that he was very young at that time, and that year an acrobatic troupe came to the village, and the adults went to join in the fun, but the children were locked in the house. This seems to be the rule in every village, and children who are too young are not allowed to approach the acrobatic troupe.

Mom and Dad also locked him in the house at that time, but they forgot to lock the window, Zhang Xiaolei was very cowardly since he was a child, and he didn't dare to stay at home alone, so he ran out of the window.

At that time, the sound of the acrobatic troupe was very loud, and they walked down the street beating gongs and drums, telling people that there was a performance tonight.

He remembered that his parents went to see the acrobatic troupe, and at that time he also blamed himself for being smart, so he walked behind this group.

The circus people would occasionally look back at him, and if he walked slowly, he would always follow.

When they arrived at a place where no one was around, the group suddenly stopped, came back and hugged him, and touched his head, and then someone ran away with him.

Zhang Xiaolei was abducted like this, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he thought he would see his parents.

The circus wanted to sell him, but no one wanted to ask for it, and the buyers would strip him naked and tear him around for inspection, and in the end they all thought he was not smart, and thought that he was stupid and not worth buying.

In fact, he is not stupid, but he is unwilling to speak, and he is very timid and afraid of life.

Since then, he has stayed in the acrobatic troupe, training every day, and if he is disobedient, he will be whipped, and the whip will hurt so much that he can't do it.

If you pump hard, you can even draw blood.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaolei dreamed of going back.

But as ten years passed, he was downplayed.

I haven't read a book, and I don't know how to make a living except for somersaults and tightrope walks, at most I just learned to pick locks.

The world is big, but there is no place for him, he doesn't want to leave the circus or steal to make a living.

Staying in the circus to beg for food was the only thing he could do.

The same goes for the other cubs.

When the boy had finished speaking, the cubs dispersed and went with the team to beat gongs and drums.

After dinner, more and more people came to see the circus, and it was crowded.

Zhang Xiaolei was sitting at the back of the stage, and a little cub suddenly came and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Lei, do you want to hold the child tonight?" ”

"Don't hold ......," Zhang Xiaolei shook his head and said, "You can take the clothes, but the child doesn't hold them." ”

The little cub smiled: "You don't come back with the child every time, and the last time Lianhe went with you, you didn't hug him, so much so that he almost broke your legs." Now that your scar is not healed, you forget about the pain. ”

Zhang Xiaolei said casually: "You and I were both abducted, how can you do it?" ”

The little cub snorted: "My parents are not satisfied, and I will definitely make other people's parents unhappy; I have been whipped, and I must let others be whipped too, otherwise how can I be happy in my heart? ”

Zhang Xiaolei didn't say a word and didn't argue with the little cub.

In this circus, there is no one he likes to talk to.

After another burst of gongs and drums, Lian He came to the stage and said to the officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have been out and walked the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and we can eat this bowl of rice, which is a face given by friends from all over the world." Today I don't ask you to give face, I'll take some real skills to come out, and give everyone a hot spot first, okay! ”

"Good!"

The people in the audience all coaxed, and Lian He walked to a wooden box and laughed: "Everyone can look at it, I don't have any real skills, but I am going to be disemboweled!" ”

But he opened a box and got in, and then a girl took a few knives and stabbed it into the box.

The people on the scene gasped.

"It's going to be unpacked in a while, and it stands to reason that it will be a sensation in the audience......" Zhang Xiaolei said to the little cubs behind him, "When the time comes, don't hold the doll, don't hug the doll, it's better to bring some gold and silver back, you can earn it back if you lose the gold and silver, and the person who loses the flesh and blood is no longer a person, I don't know if you will listen, anyway, I hope you can listen more." ”

The cubs either sneered or remained silent.

At that moment, the girl reached out and grabbed the handle of the box and pulled it out.

The originally lively scene suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Xiaolei and the others were also dumbfounded, staring at this scene blankly.

But I saw that inside the box, there was a headless corpse, which was nailed into the box by those knives!

The girl was so frightened that she stumbled back a few steps and hit another box.

Another box was opened, and people were even more dumbfounded.

Lianhe's head rolled out of that box!

Zhang Xiaolei's eyes widened and he muttered, "Turn things around...... Mana failure? Why did you move your head!? ”
