Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World

Chapter 72: Spring Circus (Part 3)

Fu Xiangxiang stared at the back of the two leaving, and casually asked the people around him: "When did Boss Cheng leave the Chunguang Circus?"

"Three years ago." A girl with a round face and big eyes smiled and said: "Yes. You haven't joined the circus three years ago. No wonder you didn't know."

The girl's name is Feng Hui, and she lives in the same room with Fu Xiangxiang and the others. Feng Hui has been in the troupe for a long time and is an assistant actor in the circus. The so-called assistant actor means that he does not have a certain special skill, but he will participate in other people's performances. For example, be a nursery for a magician, or an assistant for a stuntman.

Fu Xiangxiang: "Boss Cheng is so popular now, and he is still willing to come to our circus to perform. It seems that he has a very strong relationship with Boss Lu!"

Feng Hui thought for a while: "Yes, Boss Cheng is one of the earliest members of the Chunguang Circus. At that time, the circus was just a team with only a few people!"

Fu Xiangxiang was a little curious: "Boss Nalu is very powerful, he can be made into the current scale from the miscellaneous team!"

Feng Hui chuckled and said, "Yeah. Great people are always great."

Fu Xiangxiang didn't seem to be willing to talk more when she saw her, so he didn't ask any more questions.

In the afternoon, the actors did not continue the rehearsal. After all, they were all old actors who followed the circus and performed countless shows. They only took turns to the stage and got acquainted with the venue, and then went back to the hotel to rest and recharge for the formal performance in the evening. sharp.

When the three of Fu Xiangxiang returned to the hotel, they watched two circus members standing at the front desk chatting with the hotel proprietress.

Although there are a lot of rooms in Maxim’s Hotel, the conditions are really rudimentary. The so-called front desk is just a desk at the door with a slightly higher partition in front of the desk.

The two members, Fu Xiangxiang, had the impression that one of them was Xiao Yang, a young man of medium build, who played the role of a clown in the group; the other was Li Gui, who was just over one meter tall and had a baby face that was not too old. It was easy. People mistakenly think of a child, and only after getting to know that he is actually an adult in his twenties, a dwarf in charge of amusement in the group.

At this moment, the two of them were pulling the boss's wife and asking questions. Fu Xiangxiang and his teammates looked at each other, and subconsciously slowed down, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Li Gui asked: "Do you remember me, my boss?"

He was already short, and now he looked very pitiful with the front desk looking at the proprietress. When the proprietress faced him, her tone was soft by three points.

The proprietress glanced at him angrily: "That's not it. The last time your circus came to Ningcheng to perform, didn't you also live in my hotel. I don't remember others, your little pitiful mouth is so sweet, how could I not remember?"

Li Gui immediately laughed at the venue: "This is my sweet mouth, obviously I'm telling the truth, the boss, you are a kind person with a good heart."

The proprietress was amused by him and laughed.

Xiao Yang asked casually, "Did our circus rent the open space three years ago?"

Mrs. Boss: "Yes, it's still the same place. But three years ago, your boss Lu was not as generous this year. All actors can stay in hotels."

"Oh?" Li Gui blinked, his head tilted innocently: "No? How do I remember that I stayed in a hotel!"

The proprietress tutted: "Just because Boss Lu is the stingy guy, I'm willing to let you main actors live in a hotel. Those assistants and handymen live in tents on the open space."

He rolled his eyes very uncomfortably as he said, "I don’t want to think about it. For more than a month, it’s just a matter of letting people live in a tent, and I have to come to my bathhouse and rub the toilet. I told him several times before they buckled. I simply gave me a little more water bill. Tsk, it hurts to think of it."

Xiao Yang nodded thoughtfully: "Then he is really generous this time."

The proprietress snorted coldly, "Isn't it generous? If you want to do something like the last time, I think he should stop opening the circus, just to add to the bad luck."

Li Gui hurriedly asked, "Except what's the matter?"

The proprietress glanced at him suspiciously: "You have been in the circus for so many years, what's wrong, don't you know better than me?"

Xiao Yang hurriedly snored on Li Gui's head: "Hey, he just has a bad brain, so he is talking nonsense."

The lady boss looked at them up and down for a while, raised her chin and pointed to the small black and white TV set at the table, and waved at them: "Go ahead, don't hinder me from watching TV."

Xiao Yang and Li Gui looked at each other and prepared to leave.

Just turned around, facing Fu Xiangxiang and the others.

Li Gui's eyes rolled around Fu Xiangxiang's three people round and round, smiling meaningfully: "Can you still walk slower?"

His height and appearance, coupled with such a mature and sharp expression, look very strange.

Fu Xiangxiang pretended not to understand: "We are willing to go slowly."

Li Gui snorted: "What kind of garlic, who doesn't know who? You need to find out the news by yourself, don't think about picking up ready-made ones!"

Lin You was a bit dissatisfied: "We didn't mean it, we just heard it accidentally. And it's just some miscellaneous stuff, who can't figure it out anymore!"

Li Gui wanted to say something more, Xiao Yang rubbed his head: "Go."

Li Gui grunted and followed Xiao Yang away.

It just so happened that Feng Hui hadn't come back, so the trio gathered in Fu Xiangxiang's room for a small meeting.

Fu Xiangxiang looked at the progress bar on the screen of her arm, which showed the progress of the plot (12/100), and she shrugged: "Okay, it seems that it still takes a little advantage."

The two members were obviously players just now, and they were inquiring about the news with the boss. They passed by and happened to listen.

Lin You curled his lips: "This also happened to be in time. In fact, we can inquire about this bit of news ourselves."

Fu Xiangxiang nodded: "But those two players seem to be quite defensive, let's avoid them in the future."

Shu Ran nodded: "Yes, different players have different dispositions. Anyway, we will go our own way, and we just don't interfere with each other."

Fu Xiangxiang: "Well, a trivial matter. Let's sort out the task background first."

Lin You thought for a while: "From what the lady boss said just now, the Chunguang Circus also came to Ningcheng to perform three years ago, and something major happened that made boss Lu dare not let anyone sleep in the tent this time. "

Fu Xiangxiang added: "There is also the great magician named Cheng Wei. He left the Chunguang Circus three years ago. Moreover, with his current card, continuing to participate in the circus performance is a bit of a loss, but he is still willing Come. Is it really just because he has a good relationship with Boss Lu?"

Shu Ran: "It seems that the mystery of the plot is concentrated on the "big event" three years ago. We must be right to explore in this direction."

There are still too few plot clues, and the three of them can't figure out more information, so they have to give up.

Shu Ran blinked at Lin You: "Compared to the plot, you might as well think about tonight's performance."

"Cough cough." Lin You was drinking water, and almost choked when he heard this: "Hey, don't mention it, I was scolded by boss Lu during the rehearsal this morning, saying why my movements are so stiff, so I scheduled my show. Became a substitute show..."

The alternate show is the kind of dispensable small show. If the normal performance is long enough, it will be cancelled directly; if there is a temporary accident, this show will be used to save the scene.

"I feel discriminated against." Lin You pointed at his fingers with a sad expression on his face, and looked at his teammates eagerly: "It's better for you two. Shu Ran, you can relax. Anyway, with Cheng Wei, the great magician, you can do whatever you want. Let's do it, just to warm up the show with two little magic tricks at the beginning; not to mention Xiangxiang, the finale of the show, Xiao Meng is obedient, just pull it out and just walk around."

Fu Xiangxiang felt that it didn't matter: "Isn't it better to have a substitute program? You can maintain your personality without having to play!"

Lin You blinked and immediately became happy: "Really! Lie down to win is to win!"

"Ah, ah, why can't my show be a substitute!" The complaining person turned into Shu Ran: "Ah! But I still have to keep laughing!"

At 7:30 in the evening, the stage of the performance tent was brightly lit, and the audience seats were full.

The first performance of Chunguang Circus in Ningcheng officially began.

At the beginning of the performance, as usual, funny actors would warm up the stage.

The clown Xiao Yang and the dwarf Li Gui appeared at the same time. The performance of the two seemed quite natural. The two played some tricks such as throwing and catching the ball, while doing exaggerated physical movements, making the long audience laugh. The atmosphere is hot.

Next is Shu Ran's opening trick.

With Shu Ran's own physical memory and two days of continuous practice, Shu Ran's card magic performance is quite pure.

He flew dexterously with his ten fingers, one after another, as if appearing out of thin air, from the palm of his palm, it caused the audience to exclaim again and again, and the children clapped their hands and applauded in surprise.

After the performance, Shu Ran returned to the backstage, Fu Xiangxiang and Lin You took turns to give him a high-five, and Shu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, greatly relieved.

Fu Xiangxiang looked at Shu Ran, and then at Xiao Yang and Li Gui who were sitting in a daze at the backstage. He deeply felt that their group of players was really not easy.

So far, everything is going well.

The next show is a tightrope walk.

The big tent of the Spring Circus is quite powerful. The entire tent has a diameter of nearly 40 meters, a side height of 6 meters, and a center top of 18 meters. Both ends of the stage are erected with a nearly ten-meter high platform, connected by a steel cable. Between the high platforms, it was shocking to look at.

The actor who walked the tightrope was a thin man. Fu Xiangxiang had never spoken to this NPC. He only knew that his name was Liu Dong, and he was a bit introverted.

Liu Dong is also an old actor in the circus, and tightrope walking is his specialty.

When the host introduced that Liu Dong never used a protective rope when walking with a steel rope, and generally only laid a safety air cushion on the stage, the audience suddenly exclaimed and looked forward to the next performance.

After all, this is ten meters high. Although the safety air cushion also has a certain protective effect, it is definitely not as good as a protective rope. If you fall from such a high place, the probability of injury is still very high. There is even a fatal risk if the ministry is down.

Liu Dong first waved to the audience, then squeezed a long pole with both hands across his chest, and stepped on the steel cable with his foot.

The steel cable would sway up and down in the air with his footsteps, but Liu Dong still moved very steadily. He walked two back and forth with room for the upper edge of the steel cable, bending down halfway, putting the long pole at his feet, and lifting it. The foot jumped over the bar, and the dangerous and exciting performance caused the audience to scream and cheer loudly.

Liu Dong took the long pole back to the high platform on one side, and began the heavyweight performance-the high-altitude wheelbarrow.

Unicycles are inherently difficult to ride, they require strong balance and long-term practice, not to mention that you still have to ride a unicycle to walk the tightrope.

Therefore, Liu Donggang rode a unicycle, and the audience immediately boiled up, and they applauded.

Liu Dong was still holding the crossbar with both hands, and with force under his feet, he steadily drove up the trembling steel rope on the wheelbarrow.

The audience held their breath in the audience, knowing that this is an experienced artist, but when sitting under the stage and looking up, the ten-meter altitude is extremely high, and the steel cable is also extremely slender, which makes people unable to help him. The thrilling performance squeezed a sweat.

Liu Dong has already rode a unicycle slowly to the center of the cable. The center of the cable has the largest amplitude. This is the most dangerous part of the performance. Fortunately, Liu Dong is in good condition and still looks stable.

Suddenly, a black shadow quickly flashed on Liu Dong's side. Fu Xiangxiang squinted her eyes. The speed of the shadow was too fast, and she didn't see what it was.

Soon, the shadow appeared again, this time in front of Liu Dong. Liu Dongxian noticed the existence of this shadow, his body was trembling obviously, his lips suddenly opened, and his face changed suddenly.

The next second, his figure shook violently, and he fell straight down from the ten-meter-high steel cable.
