The autumn equinox is rainy, there is a light rain outside, only the computer screen is lit up in the room, a cup of tea is brewed on the table, there is an incense burner next to the computer, the incense burner is burning a stick of incense, the breath is curling, Zhang Tianyi squinted his eyes and leaned on the chair and shivered.

Zhang Tianyi pulled a blanket from the bed and covered his body, it was already dark outside, he didn't feel hungry, but his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and a sleepiness came to make people drowsy.

Thunder roared outside, and Zhang Tianyi walked on the street with an umbrella. There were a lot of people coming and going, but they were all rushing on the road with expressionless faces, and no one noticed Zhang Tianyi on the street corner.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but the pedestrians on the street did not decrease, but more and more people poured out of nowhere.

Zhang Tianyi looked around and found that it was very strange, he didn't know how he was here, so he grabbed a woman holding a child and asked, "Auntie, what kind of place is this?" ”

The woman stared at Zhang Tianyi strangely, and suddenly her expression changed and shouted: "This is not the place you should come, hurry back!" ”

Zhang Tianyi was confused by her words, and was interrupted by a man before he could ask in detail.

"Are you asking for directions?" A man walked over from the crowd and said with a smile. Zhang Tian nodded and asked, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

The woman next to her suddenly became excited when she saw the man, and the man pulled her to the corner and muttered a few words, and walked over and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my mother-in-law has a little problem with her brain, I hope you don't mind what happened just now." ”

Zhang Tianyi shook his head and said, "It's okay, but can you tell me what kind of place this is?" ”

The man seemed to avoid the topic, consciously or unconsciously, and said to himself: "Here, I don't know, but I know what the place is ahead." ”

"Where?" Zhang Tianyi asked, holding an umbrella. The man pulled Zhang Tian and said, "We are all from Sichuan, and I heard that there is a circus performing in front of us, so I brought my mother-in-law and children to have a look." ”

"Show? How can there be a circus performance in the middle of the night? Zhang Tianyi stared at the man suspiciously, and the woman next to him opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by a look from the man.

The man was not angry in the face of doubts, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this performance, how many people want to watch it and can't watch it, and tonight's performance is only open to Sichuan people, which is the government's compensation for us." ”

"Compensation?" The more Zhang Tianyi listened, the more confused he became. The man continued, "No, or who would want to go with them?" ”

There was the sound of gongs and drums beating in front of him, and there were many applause and cheers, the man raised his eyebrows and took a few steps forward and said, "Hear me, the show has started, hurry up and go in or there will be no place!" ”

Zhang Tianyi followed the man into the performance booth, but was stopped by the ticket seller at the door.

"You can't come in." The conductor's voice was very empty, Zhang Tian couldn't see his appearance clearly, his face seemed to be shrouded in a black fog and was very blurred.

At this time, the man walked to the conductor's side and said something, and the conductor looked at Zhang Tianyi strangely after hearing it, and then said, "Okay, let's go in!" ”

The man smiled and thanked him, and secretly reached out to hand the conductor an envelope. The conductor touched the envelope and muttered, "Count your boy acquaintance......"

Entering the performance studio, Zhang Tianyi quietly asked the man: "Big brother, what did you just give him?" ”

The man sat down and said, "What can it be, money!" It's a shame that you met me, otherwise you kid wouldn't have been able to get in even if he broke his tongue, you don't know how wonderful tonight's show is, and I guarantee you won't forget it for the rest of your life......"

The man read a lot of thoughts, but his eyes were always on the stage, looking forward to the next performance. Zhang Tianyi found a place to sit down, thinking that he was becoming more and more incomprehensible in this era, and even the conductor began to accept bribes and eat kickbacks.

Before the performance began, the studio was full of people, and it was really the same as the man said, fortunately, there was a place for the early arrival, and the rest of them were standing in rows in the back.

"Two cups?" Out of nowhere, the man found two bottles of liquor and a plate of peanuts.

Tonight was much colder than before, and Zhang Tian wanted to drink some wine to warm up his body. So the two of them set up a fast plank in the middle, drinking while waiting for the show to start.

Zhang Tianyi drank two glasses of wine and felt much warmer, and looked up to find that the performance was about to start, and the host was making an opening statement.

"Tonight's performance must know how hard-won it is, just to help the fun, and now the performance has officially begun, not much to say, I hope the next performance can bring joy to everyone!" After speaking, the host bowed and retreated to the background.

The people around seemed to be ignited by the host's words, and the performance booth suddenly boiled, some people were shouting, some people were laughing wildly, and some people were yelling!

Zhang Tianyi really saw this situation for the first time, and he had never heard any performance that could create such an effect, so he was also looking forward to the next performance.

"The next thing to come out is the wonderful circus brought to you by the Happy Circus, happy home!"

After the host's introduction, the crowd burst into thunderous applause, and then a clown was seen riding a bear from behind the curtain and swaying to the stage.

The bear was a large size, in contrast to the thin clown, and everyone applauded the clown's courage to challenge.

The clown got down from the bear and bowed to the group, and then the props team brought up a table with five porcelain bowls upside down. The clown opens the bowl in turn to indicate that there is nothing in it, then spreads out his hand and places a bouncing ball in one of the bowls to reposition it, and then asks the bear to come forward and point to the bowl with a small wooden stick to make it guess which bowl the bouncing ball is in.

The bear bit his fingers and half-squatted to look at the bowl on the table, and everyone was amused by its unbearable movements, and Zhang Tian also laughed when he saw it.

Saying that, the bear circled around the table, pointed to one of the bowls and nodded, and the audience booed, the audience didn't believe that a bear would know which bowl the bouncing ball was in.

The clown drew a semicircle in the air with a wooden stick, and then nodded the bowl again, and asked if it was sure, but the bear nodded in affirmation.

Then everyone's eyes widened for fear of missing something and waiting for the clown to decrypt the answer, the clown walked to the table and first opened the other four bowls, which were empty, and then opened the bowl that the bear pointed to just now, and a crystal clear bouncing ball in it came into everyone's eyes.

The audience was suddenly full of people, some people said that they had guessed correctly, and those who heard it sneered and didn't seem to believe it, but everyone was applauding the bear.

"See, my brother didn't lie to you, there are more exciting ones in the future!" The man said and walked with Zhang Tianyi again. Zhang Tianyi is now looking forward to the next performance, and then walked with the man with peanuts.

The show just now seems to be just an appetizer, and the next shows are more exciting and exciting than the other.

There is magic, a mermaid is packed inside a container for a magician to perform human cutting. At the beginning, Zhang Tianyi also sweated for the actor who played the mermaid, seven iron swords were inserted into the container, and then three guillotines fell from it, just when everyone thought that there was an accident, the mermaid actor came out of the container unscathed, and this magic caused everyone to applaud again.

However, Zhang Tianyi felt that the actor who played the mermaid was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and originally wanted to get closer to see it, but after the performance ended, he returned to the background with the magician, Zhang Tianyi thought that he was dazzled, so he didn't bother anymore.

This was followed by a sword-swallowing performance performed by a man, but instead of arms, he had a pair of bird wings.

The performer fluttered his wings and flew into the air, then shoved his sword into his throat with his mouth open between his feet, and stuffed five swords in a row without doing anything, and then he pulled the sword out of his throat one by one, and finally bowed for a curtain call.

Zhang Tianyi saw the last and felt that the man performing the show was also a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, but he was sure that he had definitely seen it.

The more Zhang Tianyi went on, the more he felt that he couldn't understand it, and the show slowly began to change.

There are people with dog heads jumping in the air to bite the bones thrown by clowns, there are also performers with upper and lower bodies who are human but wearing snake skin in the middle, and there are people who are divided by five horses who are manipulated by a few thin lines to talk to everyone.

But without exception, Zhang Tianyi felt that the performers were very familiar.

On the other hand, the man next to Zhang Tianyi didn't seem to be affected in the slightest, watching the performance intently, applauding and cheering from time to time, and pulling Zhang Tianyi to drink a few glasses when he was interested.

Zhang Tianyi felt that the surroundings were getting more and more weird, everything seemed to be a dream, but it was so real.

At this time, the performance came to an end, and the host came to the stage and said: "Do you think tonight's performance is good?!" ”

"Beautiful!"

Everyone in the performance studio said in unison.

The host asked again: "Then do you still want to watch it?!" ”

"Yes!" The voices of the crowd have been raised a lot.

"Good! Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's add another show! Next is the finale of our show, up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire! ”

After the host finished speaking, the applause from the audience lasted for a long time.

Zhang Tianyi was a little distracted, and the man next to him raised his glass and said, "If you want to scatter your son, brother, come, accompany my brother to go again!" ”

Zhang Tianyi stared at the stage and clinked glasses with the man absentmindedly.

Music plays on the stage, and the clown before the music reappears in front of everyone, this time holding a man in his hand, a man.

"Moriko!" Zhang Tianyi's pupils suddenly dilated when he saw the man's face, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap" and shattered!
