Chapter 3: The Trapeze

There are still ten minutes before the start of the circus, and the backstage is busy, and the head of Feng yells at everyone, if anyone moves slowly, it will be a flying kick when he goes up.

However, Captain Feng has a very good attitude towards the swallow that is about to perform the trapeze fly, the swallow is sitting in front of the dressing table, a girl of the same age as her is busy putting on the swallow's makeup, the girl's face is dripping with sweat, and the sweat dripped onto the swallow's neck without paying attention.

"You're going to die? The smell of sweat is contagious to me. Swallow said as she glared at the girl.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll wipe it off for you! The girl carefully pulled a tissue from the paper drawer on the dressing table and gently tapped the tissue around the swallow's neck.

"I said Yanzi, Xiao Shuang is not your personal assistant, isn't it a bit too much?" A young man dressed in the same costume as the swallow walked up and spoke.

"Am I excessive?" The swallow squinted at the young man and said fiercely. "Then you and her show a double flyer."

"Don't bully Xiao Shuang just because you are a pillar, in terms of skills, Xiao Shuang's basic skills are much better than yours, don't think I don't know how you got on the stage." The young man said.

"Brother Yang! Don't be noisy! Xiao Shuang was very embarrassed on the side.

At this time, Head Feng came over, and it was the old man who was outside and dragged the swallow back to the backstage.

"It's going to be the beginning soon, are the swallows ready? Today's opening solo is still up to you. Head Feng said respectfully.

"I'm not in the mood today, don't they all say that I suppressed Xiaoshuang? Then let Xiao Shuang come to the stage in today's condolence performance! Swallow said with a smile of dismissiveness.

"I can't!" Xiao Shuang shirked and said.

"Don't act in front of me, you scheming girl, don't think I don't know your nature, pretending to be a white lotus every day to make everyone pity you, and doing something disgusting behind your back." Swallow said.

"Don't make a noise, okay! There is no time, Xiao Shuang didn't even paint makeup, how could he go on stage! Today it's still the swallow you come to perform. Although Regiment Leader Feng's tone was relatively blunt, he deliberately aimed his eyes at Xiao Shuang when he spoke, because Regiment Leader Feng was afraid that his words would offend Yanzi.

"Since Lao Feng is so persistent, then I'll be wronged, remember to add money! Our contract is about to expire, you don't understand what I mean, do you? Swallow said in a weird way.

Swallow took off her sneakers and was about to change into performance shoes, but just as she put her foot in, Swallow suddenly let out a miserable scream.

The swallow took off his shoes with great difficulty, and a thin thumb-length needle was inserted into the swallow's big toe.

"How?" Captain Feng's first reaction was Xiao Shuang, but in this case, Captain Feng didn't dare to offend Xiao Shuang, because he knew that Yanzi would definitely not be able to take the stage today.

"Hurry up and bandage it, send it to a nearby hospital for a check-up, and you guys will come here!" Head Feng beckoned to the three people who were putting on makeup for the actors who appeared behind. "Hurry up and touch up Xiao Shuang's makeup, Xiao Shuang comes to the stage to save the scene, hurry up!"

"Scheming girl, you did it, right?" Swallow cursed Xiao Shuang.

"No...... That's not true! Xiao Shuang argued.

"That's it!" Captain Feng shouted. "Hurry up and find a way to get the show right, and wait until the show is over."

The three makeup artists put on a light makeup for Xiao Shuang, and after quickly putting on the costume, there were still three minutes before the opening.

Xiao Shuang was trembling and waiting on the edge of the stage, at this time Da Yang came over, patted Xiao Shuang's shoulder and said, "This is a rare opportunity, take advantage of it!" Da Yang made a cheering gesture and said.

Although Da Yang said this, Xiao Shuang was very worried, because she knew that it would be a bloody storm after the performance, and Yan Zi would not give up, unless Yan Zi's injury had not been dealt with when he finally performed Double Flyer, Xiao Shuang thought in his heart that if he and Da Yang successfully performed Double Flyer, maybe Lao Feng could still help him talk.

"Xiao Shuang." An old man with a hoarse voice came up and said.

When Xiao Shuang was pondering, Da Yang had already left, and now the old man next to him is Master Zhang in the regiment, mainly responsible for logistics, and usually takes great care of Xiao Shuang, in fact, he can't say the same, because except for Yanzi, the people in the group are quite good to Xiao Shuang.

"Uncle Zhang......"

"Don't be afraid, take courage."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"

"It's time to go on stage, the stage of your dream performance is right in front of you, seize this opportunity."

"Yes!" Xiao Shuang smiled and nodded.

All the staff were already in place, the host walked to the center of the stadium to announce the curtain, and the performance was about to start, Xiao Shuang's heart was very worried.

At this time, the backstage has been turned upside down, originally Captain Feng wanted to send Yanzi to the hospital, but Yanzi insisted on not going, in fact, his foot was only pricked by a needle, and it was no big deal, but there was no protective measures when performing acrobatics, and there was no room for a little sloppiness.

Yanzi walked towards the entrance of the stage with a huff, crossed his hands and watched Xiao Shuang walk to the center of the stage, the corners of Yanzi's mouth were slightly raised, and he stared at Xiao Shuang on the stage with a gloomy face.

……

When Xu Tian, Sitong and Siyan sat in their seats, the performance had just begun, this kind of performance was actually the thing Xu Tian hated the most, life was noisy, and Xu Tian still liked the cinema in comparison.

However, Sitong next to him was very pleased, probably because he had stayed in the village for too long, Sitong had never seen this kind of show, and seeing Sitong's happy appearance, Xu Tian stopped complaining.

The performance finally began, and Xiao Shuang stepped on the rope of the trapeze artist and slowly jumped up.

Xiao Shuang was driven by the rope to fly in a circle in the air above the gymnasium, and at first a few simple actions made the audience cheer, and the swallow at the entrance of the stage "snorted" disdainfully, and the other cast and crew in the troupe all applauded.

One lap, two laps, as the rotation amplitude and speed of the rope became larger and larger, Xiao Shuang finally let go of his body and showed off the skills he had cultivated for more than ten years.

The audience applauded, especially Sitong, who applauded from the beginning, and several applause were driven by Sitong.

During the performance, suddenly all the lights in the gymnasium suddenly went out, and the whole scene was embarrassed, at this time Xu Tian felt as if there were water droplets spraying towards him, and after about ten seconds, the lights came on again.

At this time, the trapeze performance continued, but Xiao Shuang no longer made movements on the rotating rope, one of Xiao Shuang's feet stuck on the ankle ring of the rope stood upside down in the air, and blood was sprayed on his neck, with the rotation of the rope, the blood spurted out by Xiao Shuang was sprinkled on the audience, and many viewers were stained with Xiao Shuang's blood.
