Chapter 168: Juggling Encounter
Thinking of this, Liu Yunmian asked tentatively, "Princess Yongjia is also there?" ”
Lu Ci said quietly: "It's too far away, I can't see it." ”
"Oh."
Liu Yunmian didn't want to ask much.
After all, Lu Ci had made it clear that he had no thoughts on Princess Yongjia.
It doesn't seem good to mention it yourself.
But to be honest, Liu Yunmian is quite curious about Princess Yongjia.
The women of this era are often vassals of their fathers, brothers and husbands, and they seem to live to fulfill men.
And Princess Yongjia "betrayed" her brother to help Lu Ci.
For her own love, she is also courageous.
Guanyin Nu was not interested, and urged: "Dad, mother, let's go quickly." I want to go see juggling! ”
"Okay, let's go." Liu Yunmian is used to children, and she is also very interested.
A few people came to the juggling side with buns.
Maybe it's because many people flock to the city tower to pay homage to Long Yan, so there aren't many people watching juggling at this time.
Liu Yunmian and several people crowded to the front.
This should be a juggling troupe, ranging from children of a few years old to adult men and women in their twenties and thirties.
What kind of shaking bamboo, climbing poles, all kinds of jiu-jitsu performances......
Guanyin Nu was very happy to see it, and Liu Yunmian also felt very good at first, but when he looked at it, he began to feel unbearable in his heart.
Acrobatics, although it is breaking through the limits of human beings, is based on the pain of jugglers.
The project they're looking at now, called the pigtail, is a pole standing in the center with something like a pulley tied to it, and the pulley has a rope on it.
One end of the rope was tied to the braid of a thin little girl, and the other end was tugged on.
The little girl looked about the same age as Guanyinnu, but her body was thinner and shorter, so thin that a pair of big eyes on her face accounted for almost half of it.
The child rises into the air and makes various movements in mid-air, attracting applause from the people around him.
In addition to the pressure on her scalp, she can occasionally lean on the pole with her hands and feet to help share a little of her own weight.
Although the child is extremely thin, the scalp must be painful.
Liu Yunmian looked a little uncomfortable.
Guanyin slave is small in the end, and cheers with everyone.
However, Lu Ci saw it and said to them: "There's nothing to see, let's go." ”
Liu Yunmian is compassionate and compassionate, especially when he can't see children and the elderly suffering, he has always known it.
Guanyin Nu shouted that he wanted to see it.
Liu Yunmian said: "Look, give that child a little more silver in a while." ”
Her mercy could not change the child's predicament in the slightest.
Give more money, even if it's only tonight, to make the class owner happy, and it's good to add him a bowl of rice.
At the end of the performance, the boy was put down and took the bowl to the crowd and begged for money.
Liu Yunmian was obviously not the only one who took pity on her, and the people around her were generous.
It can be seen that the class master is actually taking advantage of everyone's pity.
Liu Yunmian grabbed a large handful of copper coins and put them in her bowl.
The little girl bowed to her again and again: "Madame is rich! ”
Guanyinnu still had a bunch of uneaten meat in his hand, so Liu Yunmian discussed with him and asked him to give the meat skewer to the little girl.
Guanyin Nu has always been generous, so he gave the meat skewer to the little girl.
The little girl held the bowl and looked timidly at the class master.
Liu Yunmian thought about it, grabbed another handful of money and threw it into the bowl.
The head of the class with a meaty face smiled happily and said, "Madame rewarded you, why don't you take it and thank you, Madame!" Eyeless little bunny. ”
The little girl took the meat, thanked Liu Yunmian, and stuffed it into her mouth with a gobble, as if the meat would be snatched away a second late.
When she was doing this, she didn't forget to hold the bowl and continue to ask others for money.
It's really distressing to watch.
More distressing things are to come.
A bastard-looking man next to him actually pulled down the girl's pants in full view.
Liu Yunmian was surprisingly angry when he saw this.
What a shameless dog thing this is!
She raised her hand and was about to hit her, but she heard the people around her burst into laughter.
The man also laughed: "Little bastard, after a year, your thing still hasn't grown!" ”
The little girl, no, a boy dressed as a man, to be precise, lifted her pants in a panic, her face flushed.
But the bastard threw four or five coins into his bowl, and he didn't dare to have a seizure, so he lifted his pants and continued to collect the money with tears in his eyes.
The class owner was also accustomed to this, and said with a smile: "Uncle has seen our little bastard, can't you give a few more money?" ”
The bastard laughed and scolded: "Get out of the way, who doesn't, you still sell it as a rare thing!" ”
The class master was obviously very familiar with him, and said proudly: "Don't you really say it, he is eight years old, and he has never grown up, isn't it rare?" ”
Liu Yunmian was taken aback.
This kid ......
It's not caused by malnutrition, it's probably a congenital defect.
Dwarfism?
In juggling teams, pigtails can only be done for children, because it is difficult for adult hair to bear its own weight.
Even if the children are hard, they can see some hope, and when they are older, they will go to practice something else.
But this boy, who is called a "little mongrel" by everyone and doesn't even have a name, is congenitally deficient, but has become an "advantage" in this project.
He's probably going to have to do this for years.
Alas.
She stood there and waited for a while, watching the child hand over a bowl full of money to the class master.
The head of the class asked him to stand aside and wait, and he just shrunk and waited.
It was so cold, but he was thinly dressed, his wrists and ankles were exposed, and he was a little trembling.
Liu Yunmian quietly moved over and stood a few steps away and beckoned to him.
At this time, everyone's attention was attracted to the new performance, and no one noticed this side.
The boy was also a well-behaved man, and did not step forward immediately, but took advantage of the unpreparedness and slowly moved over.
Liu Yunmian gave him a piece of broken silver.
The boy held the silver in his hand, his eyes were suddenly shocked, and then he held the silver and smiled.
He said "thank you" silently, then carefully hid the silver close to his body, then collected his little joy and moved it back as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yunmian looked at him like this, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
- This is a smart boy, so there is hope for him in the future.
"Let's go." Lu Ci didn't know when he stepped forward, clasped Liu Yunmian's hand and said softly.
"Okay." Liu Yunmian turned around and smiled at him.
The gentle smile under the light and the compassion in his eyes made Lu Ci unable to take his eyes off it.
Guanyin Nu came over and held Liu Yunmian's other hand, "Mother, accompany me to eat, I'm so hungry and hungry, I can eat as much as a sheep." ”
"I just ate meat, but I didn't finish the skewers." Liu Yunmian scolded with a smile.
"Mother, you have to eat."
"Eat, eat, let's go."
The little boy watched them go away with envy in his eyes.
