Eric chased out of the tent and hurriedly looked around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With only one eye left, he had poor vision, but he still spotted the little monkey fleeing into the distance. The clown suit on his body made it impossible for him to move his legs, which greatly limited his speed. He saw that the little monkey was walking and stopping, and it was not fast. It looked like it was deliberately waiting for Eric to catch up with it.

It was teasing him, which made Eric angry. But he really couldn't catch up with the little monkey, so he could only stare dryly and continue to chase.

The monkey doesn't run far either, just circles around the neighborhood. Probably living in the circus, it didn't dare to leave the house too far, but it was chained for a long time, and wanted to come out to relax. A man and a monkey circled around three or two tents, like a friendly race.

After a long time, the little guy got a little tired and changed the running route. Around a corner, it suddenly turned and disappeared.

Eric was anxious and quickly followed. Turning the corner, Eric was greeted by a cage. Unlike the cage just now, the cage in front of me was large, full of one person tall. Behind the bar, the owner of the cage apparently did not attend tonight's performance.

A prairie lion.

The maned king of beasts was lying in his cage, his eyes closed and motionless, as if he was still wandering in a dream. What gave Eric a headache was that the little monkey took advantage of his slender stature and got into it through the gap in the cage. It crouches next to the lion. Turning around, he beckoned to Eric with his paws.

Eric was at a loss. The monkey ran into the lion's cage, and it seems that the little one also knows how to rely on powerful creatures for his own safety. The little guy's eyes were wide open, blinking and blinking. Eric looked angry in his eyes.

Gritting his teeth, Eric decided to enter the lion's cage. He had to lock the little monkey back in that tent before anyone found him.

The structure of the iron cage in front of me is somewhat special, with iron fences on three sides, and only the side where the door is installed is wooden. It's not hard to guess that when it's time to perform, the lion stays in a cage and is transported to the public for everyone to enjoy. The wooden door at the entrance is not locked with a lock, but is plugged in with a rotating crossbar. This is also presumably done to be able to quickly open it up when performing.

Eric gently opened the beam, trying not to make a noise so as not to wake the lion. Opening the door and entering the cage, he walked forward with his cat hunched over.

The monkey stood there and looked at Eric, with no intention of running away. This makes Eric feel that his opportunity has come, and he reaches out to the monkey, hoping that the monkey will obediently enter his arms.

The little monkey stuck out his tongue and burst out of the cage through the crack in the fence. Eric reacted instantaneously and lunged forward, but sadly, his hand was still an inch away from the tip of the monkey's tail.

Let it run away again.

But Eric didn't expect that worse was yet to come.

Since it took time for Eric to stand up, the little guy who ran out of the cage took advantage of this time to go around the main entrance of the cage. It climbed up the railing and reinserted the beam back into the door.

Eric heard only a soft sound, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself locked in a lion cage.

With the last bit of luck, Eric stepped forward and pushed the wooden door. Of course, the door can't be opened. He tried to reach out through the crack in the fence and try to open the beam, but found that his arm was not long enough. As a clever and witty detective, he was tricked into a lion cage by a monkey after solving many difficult cases. Eric felt his face heat at this point.

After the little monkey bolted the door, he returned to the front and danced outside the cage.

Eric was helpless, he wanted to shout for help, but he was afraid to wake up the beast next to him. Caught in a dilemma, he could only watch the little monkey leave his sight.

Turning around, Eric began to look at the lion. The beautiful color of the coat indicates the purity of its bloodline, and I wonder how much effort it took to catch it for the circus. At the end of the cage, Eric sees the lion's dinner plate, on which lies a rooster whose head has been cut off and drained of blood after death.

This reminds Eric that he is now in the company of a carnivore.

Eric knew he had to do something. He stretched his hand out of the cage and waved it again and again. Hopefully, it will be able to get the attention of others. But he hadn't met anyone along the way before, and the chances of being rescued by doing so were slim to none.

Just as Eric was annoyed, he was surprised to see the departed little monkey reappear not far away. Could it be that the little guy has a conscience and wants to come back and open the door to save himself?

But soon, he realizes that he was wrong. And the wrong one couldn't be had.

When he saw the extra thing in the little monkey's paws, a sense of despair arose.

A gong.

Eric had seen this exotic instrument in Pelos before. In terms of attracting people's attention, the gong is a well-deserved king. This gong from the East has an extremely simple composition. A thick disc-shaped piece of metal can be struck with a hammer to make a loud sound, resulting in an eye-catching effect. It's no surprise that the circus has this new instrument. But the little monkey held the hammer in one paw and the gong in the other, and looked like he was about to strike it in the next moment.

The monkey wants to use this instrument to get revenge on the bad guy who chased it just now.

Eric regretted that he shouldn't have messed with such a spiritual monkey. At this moment, he could only smile stiffly, his left hand made a silent gesture, and the index finger of his right hand waved at the little one, signaling it not to mess around.

In response, the little monkey grinned and bared its fangs. Eric read that right, it was a playful smile.

Bell bell -

The little monkey finally rang the gong. The sound of gongs seemed to be the death knell for Eric.

Eric quickly covered his ears with both hands as he slowly retreated towards the corner of the cage. He knew that he was about to face the wrath of the King of Beasts.

The lying male lion's body trembled violently, his ears moved, and finally he couldn't stand the noise anymore, and stood up and roared angrily outside the cage. Indeed, the volume of the gong is so loud that no animal can sleep peacefully.

"Roar—"

The little monkey saw that the lion woke up and stopped beating again.

The gong stopped, and Eric's breathing almost stopped.

The lion turned its head and spotted the intruder entering its territory, staring at Eric and slowly approaching him with graceful steps.

Eric had his matching gun hidden at his waist, and his hand was now retracted into his shirt and pressed against it. Carrying a weapon at all times is a good habit he has developed. At this time, if the lion suddenly attacks him, he can immediately shoot himself to save his life.

In the face of life-threatening events, such trivial matters as identity exposure are far from worrying.

The lion's footsteps are getting closer. Eric's hands trembled, and sweat welled up in his palms. How long has it been since it was so messy. How many heinous criminals have been brought to justice by Eric. But I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of a little monkey today.

"What are you doing?"

A distant voice broke the deadlock. The little monkey squeaked twice and ran towards the source of the sound. Crooked, it seems, is the monkey's name. Ariel didn't expect that the sound of the gong not only woke up the lion, but also called for help for himself.

Fortunate!

He cried out for help, "Help! I'm in a lion cage!" Eric's voice trembled, weak and pitiful. He had to pretend to be scared.

The figure of the visitor gradually became clear in the light. A scantily clad red-haired woman with a leather whip.

She said, "Oh my God, baby. How did you get to the cage?" she wore a mesh sheer skirt over her upper body with only two pieces of leather armor, a leather belt around her waist, and black briefs on her lower body. A black cloak fluttered from his back. Bare shoulders, belly button, slender legs tightly wrapped in long leather boots, a sexy breath comes to the face.

The little monkey was perched on her shoulder at this time.

Beast Tamer. Eric noticed the visitor's dress and guessed her identity. Regardless, the presence of the trainer reassured him. At least he didn't have to shoot the lion.

Eric felt that he still needed to perform: "Get me out~"

The woman stood still, without the slightest intention of saving him: "Don't worry." Chicken is very mild and won't hurt people casually. ”

"What did you say?!chicken?"

"Yes. Chicken, the name of this lion. ”

Chicken. From the name, Eric only thinks of a bloody jaw that bites a dead chicken. He shook his head unconsciously.

Seeing Eric's puzzled expression, the trainer asked, "You don't believe it?" Come on, chicken, go say hello to this friend. ”

Hearing the trainer's command, Chicken walked towards Eric, rubbing back and forth on top of him. Eric was tickled. The woman opened the beam, pulled out the stiff Eric, and hugged him all at once, "You should be frightened, sister." ”

Eric, a spirit. His hands were kept on his chest, as if he had touched some special soft part. And in this good time, he is more worried about whether his male identity will be revealed. After all, a man's skeleton is different from a woman's.

However, the woman in front of her was holding Eric's waist. It had been tightly bound by Jasmine in advance, and there was a sponge around it.

"Now, tell me how you got in. Wait, I haven't met you, newcomer?" Judging from this sentence, Eric did not reveal his identity.

"Yes...... I'm new. I was just recruited by Sister Jasmine, and I'm going to see the head of the regiment tomorrow. I was very curious about the circus, and I wanted to look around first today, but I didn't expect that there was a little monkey locked in that tent. I accidentally let it run away. After Eric finished speaking, he described how the little monkey escaped and how he was tricked into the lion's cage.

"Haha. Crooked is very smart, and he likes to play tricks on people the most. ”

"Squeak-" At this time, the little monkey on the woman's shoulder bared its teeth and barked twice. The woman covered her mouth and laughed: "Poof." Haha, it's saying you're stupid, and you're being played around by it. ”

Eric was a little embarrassed, but the monkey was right, "You can understand it?"

"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be a trainer. By the way, forgot to introduce yourself. I am Turuk, the animal trainer of the circus. What's your name?" Truuk introduced himself to Eric.

Eric lowered his head and whispered, "Ellie." "A timid look.

Truuk's smile was as enthusiastic as a flame: "Sister Ellie, you have to remember, don't run around in the future." There are so many dangerous places in our circus. ”

Eric couldn't tell if she was joking.
