Yu Qingfeng grabbed a piece of dim sum on the table and leaned to the window while eating.

A large open space was surrounded by a low fence, and the stage in the middle was surrounded by a high fence. The outermost fence is also guarded by a few uniformly dressed people to maintain order and prevent spectators from coming forward.

The security measures are doing quite well.

The audience below can only watch through the fence, but Yu Qingfeng and the other guests of the restaurant with a private room under the flower purse can watch from above. It's safe and there are no unsightly fences.

To say that there is no strategic cooperation between the restaurant and the beast taming group, Yu Qingfeng does not believe it. All the two-story buildings around the square must have reached a cooperative relationship with the Beast Tamers.

At this time, the stage is like a modern circus, with animal trainers standing in the middle of the round stage, surrounded by obediently standing and squatting animals, goats, monkeys, horses, and dogs.

The trainers make different gestures, and the animals make different movements, nothing more than standing, sitting, lying down, rolling, and so on.

The people cheered, Lian Shurong and Lin Ming were also amazed, only Yu Qingfeng had seen too much of this kind of performance and was indifferent.

Pei Wuyi was absent-minded, as if he was wandering in all directions.

The next room also had open windows, both open and close together, and the sound next door was very clear.

Ji Zongyuan began to recall and describe how he captured the thief and the king first, and shot the man before the horse on the battlefield; how to kill war horses in the rear and skin and eat meat when supplies are insufficient; How to torture prisoners of war so that they are worse off than dead.

Ji Zongyuan told the cruel and sad thing of killing people and horses with joy and pride.

Yu Qingfeng sounded like someone was holding her head down and forcibly stuffing garbage into her ears.

"Come on, come on, tiger!" Lian Shurong acted as a reporter who talked nonsense, and his voice was loud, as if he was deliberately trying to interrupt Ji Zongyuan next door.

The gentle animals leave the scene, and the trainers bring up an adult tiger wearing a collar.

The people in the audience quieted down and unconsciously took a few steps back.

In order to dispel the audience's fears, the animal trainer first made the tiger open its mouth, and he himself put an arm into the tiger's mouth.

The crowd screamed.

However, the tiger was obedient, with its mouth open, and its teeth did not touch the arm of the trainer.

Immediately afterwards, the cute tiger performed standing on two legs, rolling and exposing its belly, and jumping in a ring of fire. Every movement is slow, lazy, and even more cute.

"It's incredible that the king of beasts can become like this." Lin Ming sighed.

Ji Zongyuan's voice came from next door.

"It's just a tiger, don't say it was back then, even now, Ben Hou can be subdued on the spot. This animal trainer must have subdued first and then tamed. The tiger is afraid of the animal tamer, and will naturally be at his mercy. ”

Red Rose and White Lotus hurriedly echoed and said yes.

"That's right, who is Master Hou? The body has the aura of a mighty overlord, and the animal can perceive it best, and the tiger will bow down when he sees the marquis. ”

The sound of "snap" is another crisp slap.

"Ben Hou is talking about how to tame a tiger, not to listen to your flattery!"

"Bai Lian is wrong, Hou Ye atonements."

Pei Wuyi sighed, "It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this season Zongyuan is not a king, but just a marquis, so uncertain and capricious, it is not as good as the tiger below." ”

Yu Qingfeng looked at the cute big cat who was yawning, and said, "To say that he is a beast is an insult to a beast." ”

The animal tamer said that he would put his head into the tiger's mouth, and he would stay in the tiger's mouth for ten seconds!

Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but worry about the animal trainer, the outside environment was so complicated, and fireworks were still being set off not far away, so it was difficult to ensure that the tiger would not be frightened.

However, it turned out that Yu Qingfeng was too worried, and he also underestimated the tiger's anti-interference experience and the strength and grasp of the animal trainer.

After counting the tens, the trainer's head retracted from the tiger's mouth unharmed, and he took the towel from his assistant and wiped the water stains off his face.

Everyone burst into laughter, it was the saliva of the tiger.

The tiger was led down again, still lazy.

The animal taming performance is coming to an end, and the people are naturally willing to reward after watching such a wonderful performance.

Ji Zongyuan's voice came from the next room again, "How dare you ask Ben Hou for a reward?" It is your blessing that Benhou is willing to reward, where is the reason to ask for it? Get lost! ”

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Qingfeng went to open the door, and in front of the door was a gray-faced young man who still wanted to squeeze out a smile, wearing exactly the same clothes as those security guards.

Behind the boy is the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"Distinguished guests, this is the apprentice of the beast taming group, if you have a good time, you will give a reward. It's not easy to tame beasts, and it's not easy for this kid to be assigned such a thankless task. ”

The shopkeeper really has a business cooperation with the beast taming group, so he will follow the apprentices of the beast taming group to ask for rewards. I just saw that the young man was wronged by Ji Zongyuan, and he was worried that he would also be wronged here, so he said good things for the young man.

"Reward, naturally reward!" Yu Qingfeng raised his voice and deliberately said to Ji Zongyuan next door, "The tiger's mouth escaped, risking his life to perform, of course it is worth rewarding, let's appreciate it more, take it back and give the tiger more food." ”

As he spoke, Yu Qingfeng took out the largest piece of his broken silver, and turned to the other three companions, "Three adults, I can reward so much for a servant, you can't be stingy and lose to a handmaid." ”

Lian Shurong smiled bitterly, and said while taking out the silver: "Okay, I will reward you tenfold." ”

Lin Ming also took out the money, "Twenty times." ”

Yu Qingfeng was satisfied and looked at Pei Wuyi.

Pei Wuyi didn't pay for it, but walked up to the young man and said solemnly: "You go back and bring a message to the class master, I will pay fifty taels of gold to buy this tiger." ”

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Yu Qingfeng was even more shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Pei Wuyi, this is too anti-routine, right?

"What are you buying tigers for?" Yu Qingfeng walked up to Pei Wuyi and asked puzzled.

"Release." Pei Wuyi gently spit out two words.

"Why?" Yu Qingfeng didn't take his brain and blurted out a question.

"I love cats." Pei Wuyi's answer sounded nonsensical.

Yu Qingfeng was speechless.

"This ......" the boy was at a loss.

"It's okay, you can go and tell the class master, the price or something can be negotiated. This is a high-ranking official and guest from the capital, and if he wants to buy it, he will naturally be able to afford it. ”

Yu Qingfeng helped, she realized what Pei Wuyi was thinking in her heart. Animal taming is all superficial scenery, and behind it is the exploitation of animals.

Ji Zongyuan has a saying that is right, you must first be subdued before you can be tamed. If human beings want to subdue the tiger, they must first restrict their freedom, and then use various tools and means to subdue it.

Their human joy and way of making money is actually based on the suffering of tigers.

This is essentially the same as Ji Zongyuan's favorite fighting dog.

Ji Zongyuan likes to abuse people and dogs for fun, the more painful people and dogs are, the more they show submission and respect in front of him, the happier he is.

Isn't it the same with taming animals? It's just that no one has ever put themselves in the tiger's shoes and felt the same way.

Yu Qingfeng thought of a sentence: Is it necessarily right to be like this all the time?

With the progress of the times and the development of humanity, why can we abandon so many backward and cruel dross, but only carry forward the exploitation of animals? In the end, it is two words - interests.

Tigers that do not speak and use words to fight for their own legitimate interests can only suffer dumb losses, and if they want to protect themselves with actions, they will be eliminated by humans for legitimate reasons that endanger human security.

Isn't this like Cao Ruyi, Zhai Xianglian, Mrs. Ji, Red Rose and White Lotus and other weak women with humble status and no right to speak? In the face of inequality and violence in the family, in the face of bullies like Ji Zongyuan, they are powerless to resist, they have no way to ask for help, and if they really hurt their abusers because of their resistance, they will be convicted by the government.

Whether it is for people or animals, the perverted desire for conquest of the strong leads them to be so insensitive to the weak.

After the boy left, Lin Ming was puzzled and asked: "Why only release tigers, not those horses, sheep, dogs, and monkeys?" ”

"Those animals are easier to tame by humans, even if they are not for show, people ride horses, oxen pull plows, dogs watch over the house, monkeys are intelligent, and they can do more. They are also meant to be exploited, and they are used to even eat them in the end in order to survive and toil. And the use of them is not based on the destruction of them by man.

"But the tiger of the king of beasts is different, if people want to tame it like this, even in such a complex environment, they still restrain their wild nature and complete the performance, then there will be cruel torture and punishment. In exchange, it is not the most basic survival needs of people, but just for the audience to have a good time after tea and dinner, and businessmen are profit-seeking.

"Of course, if I could, I would like to be able to rescue all the show animals here, but I know it's not realistic. I can only rescue the tiger that should not be here first, who should not be in the river with the well water of humans, obey the natural law of the animal kingdom, and sacrifice the most - the wildest. Let it suffer less from some human whipping for the rest of its life. ”

Yu Qingfeng is like an initiation, this is not in modern times, isn't it: refusing to watch animal performances, refusing to stimulate more whipping with cheers? Isn't it just about protecting wildlife?

Pei Wuyi is worthy of being the male protagonist, and his thinking is so advanced that he doesn't look like a person of this era.

"Agreed, if the class leader lion opens his mouth, I am willing to dedicate my year's income." Yu Qingfeng looked at Pei Wuyi with adoring and appreciative eyes.

Lian Shurong was ignorant, and seemed to understand, "I seem to understand something." But I guess if the person next door also heard Master Pei's words, I'm afraid he would think you'd be crazy. ”

Pei Wuyi smiled, "Xia Worm Yu Bing, Jing Frog Yu Hai, Qu Shi Yu Dao." It's not the same kind of thing, and it's normal that there is no consensus. ”

The next door responded and confirmed with the sound of porcelain cracking, and Ji Zongyuan didn't say a word about these words, and they all heard it.

Ji Zongyuan's scolding voice and heavy footsteps came from the corridor. Anyway, the beast taming show was over, and he took the two concubines, called the housekeepers who were guarding outside, and left the restaurant angrily.
