This temple fair is also very lively, the farming is almost over, and the satisfaction of the autumn harvest makes everyone willing to donate generously at the temple fair.

Xiao Mo's family walked along the road to the north of the village, and both sides of the road were occupied by merchants selling all kinds of goods.

children's favorite sugar gourds, grilled sausages, grilled eggs and other snacks; women's favorite clothes, perfumes, trinkets; The billiards, chess, landlords, pressure sizes, fishing gear, etc., which men like one after another, make people dazzled.

People take food as their day, and the most stalls still buy food.

There are those who set up an oil pan to fry fritters, and the fritters are full and golden in color; There are pan-fried buns, and the buns are yellow and crispy, and they look attractive; There are cool powders that sell refreshing and cool noodles, cool skin, cold noodles, crystal texture, poured with green onions, ginger and garlic, which are essential to cool off; Some sell cold vegetables and braised pork, and the marinated pork with soy sauce color is full of aroma, teasing the sense of smell of passers-by; Some sell seafood spicy crayfish, spicy flower nails, and squid, which makes people can't help but buy two bottles of beer, find three or five friends, and chat for an afternoon; There is a ...... that sells pig's trotters that are said to be a sacred product for women's beauty

Xiao Mo had eaten lunch not long ago, so his resistance to these foods had increased greatly, and he was able to smell the fragrance without moving his hands.

"Alright, it's almost there!" Su Dad saw a tall tent fifty meters in front of him, and knew that this was a circus tent.

"Second father, second mother, take Sister Xiaoye and them to watch the circus!" Suruo, who was patrolling with fellow villagers, greeted.

The title of Sujiacun is a bit special, this "father" and "mother" do not mean "father" and "mother", but the second place of title among their father's brothers.

The eldest of the brothers is called "Bo", the second line is called "Dad", the third line is called "Uncle", and the fourth line is called "Da", which comes from the order of "Bo Zhong Shu Ji" used in the ancient Zuo Biography.

Su Ruo is the child of Xiao Mo's third uncle's family.

"What if, you're on patrol this year?" Su's father replied.

"Yes, second father, it's okay to earn some pocket money. The Tiger Drill Fire Ring show is about to start, so let's get in! ”

Su's father handed over eight tickets to the circus gatekeepers, and the family entered the circus's makeshift tent made of thick felt cloth and a tall iron post.

As soon as I entered the tent, the applause, the host's enthusiastic shouts, and the shouts of selling melon seeds and peanuts all poured into the people, which was very lively.

Xiao Mo felt the most obvious smell of animal feces in the air.

"Circus", worthy of its name!

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, Xiao Mo and a few people hurriedly found a suitable seat to stand.

The stage is huge, about twenty square meters. There is a high barbed wire fence between the stage and the audience, and people and horses have stumbled, presumably to ensure the safety of the audience.

In contrast, more and more zoos are now offering tours with wild animals. A timid person like Xiao Mo would never dare to try it easily.

At the same time, there are more and more news reports of beasts biting tourists. There are those who climb over the fence because of fare evasion, those who get off the bus by mistake in the middle of the tour, and those who tease wild beasts through protective nets...... In the end, these beasts will pay for all the evil fruits planted by humans.

How innocent is the beast?!

“…… All right! Dear fathers and fellow villagers, for the safety of you and your family, please take care of your children, and be careful not to go near the cage, and do not throw food, stones, etc. into the cage. So, now, let's ask our animal trainer to show us a monkey ride with his companion Kiki. ”

"I've seen people ride bicycles, and it's the first time a monkey rides a bicycle!" Su Yu said curiously.

"I haven't seen it either, it seems that there are a lot more shows in the acrobatic troupe this time than when I was a child!" Xiao Mo echoed.

As soon as the two finished speaking, a man in a tight-fitting animal tame suit appeared in the center of the stage, followed by a monkey pushing a miniature unicycle with a yellow ornament tied to its head, presumably "Qiqi".

In order to make it clear to everyone, the animal trainer instructed Kiki to follow him around the field.

I saw Kiki skillfully pedal the bicycle and smoothly along the edge of the barbed wire inner net, following the footsteps of the animal trainer.

Probably because of the strong desire to perform, watching people turn on their mobile phones to record videos and take photos, Qiqi also learned to take pictures of humans without a teacher, and posed "scissorhands" on the bicycle.

"King Kiki!"

I don't know which child who has seen the bear infested shouted, but it actually attracted the attention of the monkey Qiqi, thinking that there was a flying kiss from the source of the sound, presumably quite satisfied with this title.

The monkey bike ride program lasted about ten minutes, and after the animal trainer and Kiki bowed to everyone, the host came out and broadcast the next show.

"Now, we have invited our animal trainer to bring his companion to play Peppy Pig for us to learn math."

It seems that the circus is very up-to-date, and these are the children's favorite animation works at the moment.

Scientists have long used scientific experiments to prove the intelligence level and intelligence of pigs. However, most people saw the arithmetic of pig counting on the spot, and it was the first time for most people. Therefore, the circus performance of this show also fully satisfies the curiosity of adults.

The Beast Trainer commands Peggy Pig. Completed simple addition and subtraction from one to ten. In the middle, a lottery was also set up for children under the age of five in the audience, which was also added or subtracted from one to ten, and if there was a faster answer than the piglet, a ticket would be awarded.

After this show, the atmosphere gradually became enthusiastic. The host appeared to announce the next show. This show is also what Xiao Mo loves and fears: "The tiger drills the ring of fire." ”

In the eyes of people, the tiger has been a symbol of ferocity and strength since ancient times, and is known as the king of beasts. Although they are afraid of tigers, they still love to see them when they can ensure their safety, for example, in movies, zoos, acrobatic troupes......

In the center of the stage was placed by the staff on a display platform, an iron platform about two meters high, on which several large black iron rings were placed.

Everything is in place, only the king of beasts is on the scene.

Xiao Mo was suddenly worried about what would happen if the tiger broke through the net. When I was a child, I never worried about these problems because of my ignorance, I just felt curious and funny, and when I grew up, I became afraid of these dangerous things.

The animal trainer appeared majestically with a tiger. As soon as the king of beasts appeared, he announced his arrival with a tiger roar.

The audience fell silent, expressing awe of the forces of nature.

The trainer and the tiger patrolled the performance venue through the wire mesh for a week so that people could see it more clearly. But the children were not much afraid, and still looked at the king of beasts who came out of the forest with curious eyes.

Some bold people can still stay put, such as Su's father Su Yu and two brothers-in-law, and some timid people retreated in fright, such as female members of the Su family.

Xiao Mo also wanted to retreat, but remembered that someone had said: If you look at a beast, don't avoid its gaze too much, once it detects the fear in your eyes, it will not hesitate to attack you.

Xiao Mo stabilized his mind and pulled back his steps to retreat.

The trainer commanded the tiger to jump on the iron platform that had been erected, and first directed the tiger to drill through one iron ring after another.

The tiger easily crossed the iron ring with a proud posture, and the audience did not care about being afraid, and applauded and shouted "yes"!

After warming up, the trainer lit the pre-treated ring, and the flames rubbed all over the outer ring of the ring.

The temperature inside the tent seemed to rise all of a sudden. The flames were rolling, and the animal's natural fear of fire made the tiger take a few steps back cautiously.

But under the command of the trainers, the long-trained tiger still crossed the first, second, and third rings of fire lightly, and ensured that his beautiful fur was undamaged.

The audience outside the stadium clapped their hands excitedly, and in their hearts, this is the victory and taming of nature by human beings.

The trainer took the tiger through the ring of fire twice and went down with the tiger.

Xiao Mo's eyes were very good to see that the animal trainer wiped the sweat on his forehead when he left the field, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that animal taming is indeed a high-risk industry, and being friends with animals is a thing that requires enough patience.

Next up is the horse riding show, the camel show, the goat show...... And the last one is the rare Peacock Open Screen.

Xiao Mo once saw a peacock open screen if he was in a zoo, and Xiao Mo could only think that he had not yet reached the point where the national color and natural fragrance made the peacock can't help but open the screen more beautifully. This time, I don't know what method the animal trainer used to make the peacock spread its colorful feathers.

The bird is young and the color is good, and Qingxuan enters the house to see the clothes. A golden emerald can't be painted, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are rare.

When the peacock opens the screen, its feathers are like a beautiful unfolded blue gauze palace fan, and those colorful reflections on the tail feathers reflect the brilliance, like countless small mirrors. Even the ancients wrote poems describing its golden crown and green feathers, which is difficult to inscribe.

Xiao Mo watched it with relish, and the audience also watched it with fun, and there were many discussions at the end.

"Dad, I'm going to watch the Peacock Open Screen tomorrow!" Xiao Mo heard a little girl coquettishly say to her father.

"Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will bring you back tomorrow."

"Grandpa, I'm going to come to see the big tiger drill fire ring tomorrow!" A little boy said to his grandfather, who was pulling him.

"Okay, let your dad bring you tomorrow."

"It's been a long time since I've been to the temple fair, and the circus invited by our village is getting more and more exciting!" The eldest brother-in-law Li Wenbin said.

"yes, I haven't seen a circus yet, this is the first time." The second brother-in-law, Wang Wei, echoed.

"You'll see it every year from now on!" Su Ma made the final decision.

"Good!"

The temple fair is a festival, the joy of a good harvest, and the reunion of relatives......
