Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World - Chapter 82
This matter is not a secret in the circus. The magician’s assistant replied: “There are Dayong and Liu Dong, plus the two disabled children on the flyer photos you saw, one is Xiaohei and the other is Ah. powerful.”
“Liu Dong and Dayong too?” Fu Xiangxiang was a little surprised, and couldn’t help looking at Dayong who had been standing silently beside Boss Lu in silence.
Dayong calmly looked at her and nodded: “Me, Liu Dong, and Xiao Hei are in the same village. When I was a child, I was not in good health. I looked very thin, and my family was poor. My parents were born. After the two younger brothers, they didn’t want to care about me anymore. Just when Mr. Lu came to our village, he asked Mr. Lu to take me away. The situation in Liu Dong’s house is similar.”
Fu Xiangxiang spoke slowly: “So, you and Cheng Wei bought eight children in the name of adoption and brought them back to the group.”
Lu Dongliang nodded sternly: “Yes. Eight children-actually seven and a half, isn’t the big and two hairs conjoined.”
Fu Xiangxiang corrected him: “Although Da Mao and Er Mao share the same body, they have different minds and different souls, so they are still two people.”
Lu Dongliang coughed: “Hey, you said it is two people, it means two people. Anyway, we picked four healthy children, like Liu Dong’s potential, so we train him to perform on stage, like Feng Hui He Dayong has no potential, and it’s not bad to stay in the regiment as an assistant.”
“As for the other four performing deformed shows, there was really no way back then. The group was poor and the audience liked to watch it. We had no choice but to…”
“I have no choice?” Fu Xiangxiang looked at him coldly: “I’m afraid you already made this plan when you adopted them?”
Lu Dongliang was choked by her. He originally wanted to defend himself. He paused in the other’s cold eyes, and nodded helplessly: “Yes. No one in our grass platform was watching, Cheng Wei thought about it. Such a method. We went to many villages to find out which family had deformed children, and then we went to talk to their parents.”
“Children like them are a cumbersome place in anyone’s house. When their family heard that I was going to have sex, they were so happy that they wished that I would take them away immediately.”
“They are also considered obedient. After they are a little older, they can get on stage after a little training. At that time, many viewers hadn’t seen this. It’s a fresh picture. Our group has been really popular for a while.”
Lu Dongliang noticed the disapproving gaze of everyone, and he shrank: “Hey, don’t look at me with such eyes, they are also happy to make money!”
Fu Xiangxiang: “Is it really happy or forced by you?”
The magician’s assistant couldn’t help but said: “How could they be really happy? Xiao Hei and A Qiang have no limbs, so they can only wear a big sock-like clothes crawling around like worms on the floor, so their The performance is called the “humanoid caterpillar.” It is difficult to move without hands and feet. They have to perform tricks such as sokoban and heading on the stage, and their bodies are all worn out.”
“Those audiences just took a fresh picture, bought tickets and saw that they were disgusting or horrible. They scolded them as they watched and called them disgusting bugs. I couldn’t bear to say anything more ugly.”
“Big and Ermao are not much better. Although they don’t have to crawl on the ground, they have to walk to the audience to interact with them up close. Many people have no quality, and what they say is extremely ugly. They have to make smiles to deal with it. The kind of unqualified audience would even pull their clothes, insisting on how their bodies are connected. It is…it is…too bully. The four of them will hide in tents every day after the performance. cry……”
He couldn’t speak anymore, so sad that he covered his eyes with one hand.
This situation is too tragic. Everyone is a veteran actor who is touring around with the team. They have also experienced the situation of being ridiculed or bullied by low-quality audiences, but no matter how bad they are, they will not encounter such excessive humiliation. Hearing this, he couldn’t help feeling grief, and felt sympathy for the four members who had never met.
People who are born with defects are so pitiful. If their parents know that their children are living like this after being taken away, they don’t know if they will feel regret when they return to the dream at midnight, and regret that they will easily let outsiders take their own flesh and blood away.
Or is it—they were already prepared for that when they made that decision?
Such speculation is even more uncomfortable.
Lu Dongliang said with a bitter face: “This world is like this. Everyone sells them. Some work hard and some sell craftsmanship. They don’t have anything. They can only sell a defect and sell it miserably. Why did I force it? It’s not me. Let the audience scold them? What’s wrong with me!”
Everyone coldly watched as Lu Dongliang shrugged off the responsibility completely, and they were all speechless.
But at this moment, I can’t care about sighing too much, everyone quickly realized a problem——
“What about them? Where are they now?”
Feng Hui and Dayong didn’t say anything. The magician’s assistant sniffed and sighed: “Three years ago, the circus was touring in Ningcheng. The scale of the circus was not as big as it is now, and the income is average. The actors are all living in makeshift tents. Who knows that one night there was a fire, and everyone else was lucky enough to escape, except for a few of them…”
Many people joined later and knew nothing about the accident three years ago. They were shocked by the words: “All four of them…”
The magician’s assistant nodded, with a sad look: “Xiao Hei and A Qiang are inconvenient to move. They are usually taken care of by Ermao. The four of them have been living in a tent. It was too chaotic that night, and the fire was so big. Waiting for us. It was only when I escaped from the tent that I remembered that they were not there, and it was too late to go back and save people.”
Feng Hui burst into tears: “We were all too panicked and too scared at the time. We all grew up together, and we were all very sad if something like this happened…”
Dayong closed his eyes in silence, his face dull and unclear.
Everyone sighed again when they heard this.
“Oh, their lives are too difficult. People who were born with physical defects were abandoned by their parents, and finally had the ability to make a living, and they could live a good life, but they encountered such an accident again.”
“Misery is just a word. Although their performances can make money, it would be too bad for the audience to make fun of their defects on the stage. Such a day is a good day.”
“But although the deformity show is awful, it’s better to die than to live, as long as you can earn money.”
“Hey, don’t even mention making money. Those kind of people who don’t have the ability to protect themselves will definitely be pinched by Boss Lu. Even if they make some money in the group, how much can they get?”
“That’s right, besides, I remember that the country has stopped the deformity show. In what year did it come? It seems that two or three years ago, they were banned from performing in public. Even if they are not dead, they will not be able to continue performing later. NS.”
“Wait, what you said is true? If they can’t continue performing, will boss Lu let them stay in the group for free meals?”
“Think about it this way, if they didn’t die in the fire, wouldn’t it be worse?”
“Gosh, I’m getting goose bumps.”
…
Everyone ate a wave of shocking melons tonight, and they were very disdainful of Lu Dongliang’s behavior.
I thought that the boss was just a bit stingy, but who knew it was also involved in the trading of people, child abuse, and the exploitation of the disabled. At this moment, everyone talked badly about others and didn’t try to keep their voices down. These comments were just a word. Every sentence got into Boss Lu’s ears, his face was red and white, and he was restless.
After a long while, Lu Dongliang finally couldn’t hold back, Huo Di got up, pretended to be a majestic boss, and glared at Fu Xiangxiang, “It’s been so long since that happened. What else can you say? You called us over to talk about this. Meaningless old things?”
He said and waved his hands straight to everyone: “Okay, let’s all go! This is originally the scene that was blocked by the police. Are you still waiting for one by one?”
Everyone was full of gossip, and didn’t want to leave at all, but when they heard the “police blockade”, they became a little nervous and looked at Fu Xiangxiang uncomfortably, thinking that this girl was better than Boss Lu tonight.
“If you don’t go, I can go.” Lu Dongliang flicked his sleeve and prepared to leave.
“Boss Lu, what are you anxious for?” Fu Xiangxiang stopped him, “I haven’t started talking about serious matters!”
Fu Xiangxiang said that he patted Xiao Meng’s head with his palm, and Xiao Meng let out a low growl, which made the top of the tent tremble. Lu Dongliang’s legs were weak in fright, and he sat back on the chair, staring at Fu Xiangxiang’s expression, for a while, he didn’t have the guts to go any further.
Fu Xiangxiang smoothed Xiao Meng with satisfaction, turned his head and looked straight at Lu Dongliang with a pair of clear Lingling eyes. With a calm exploration, Lu Dongliang felt cold.
Lu Dongliang’s voice trembled a little: “You all know what happened three years ago now. What else can you talk about?”
Fu Xiangxiang raised his eyelids and glanced at him coolly: “Let’s talk about resenting ghosts for their lives.”
“The ghost is killing you?!”
As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone’s eyes swept back and forth on Fu Xiangxiang and Lu Dongliang, thinking about the meaning of the words.
Soon someone thought of the various accidents and murders in the circus in the past two days, and they couldn’t help but panic.
“Is it true that the death of the magician and Sister Wang was caused by the evil spirits?”
“Don’t forget, there is also Liu Dong, people are still lying in the hospital now!”
“I mean, Liu Dong has been walking on a tightrope for so many years, how can he fall from the top in a good manner.”
“And Cheng Wei, have you performed that underwater escape hundreds of times? Where can you drown in the water tank!”
“Is it true that the grieving ghost is claiming his life?”
“Wait, blame ghost means—”
“Isn’t the fire accident three years ago?”
Fu Xiangxiang looked at Lu Dongliang coldly, raised his hand and stretched out three fingers: “Three doubts!”
Her voice is not loud, and her tone is clear and sweet, and she can easily get into everyone’s ears even in the noisy surroundings. With her calm attitude and determined expression, everyone can’t help being quiet and listen carefully to what she wants to say. what.
Fu Xiangxiang Qu raised a finger and said faintly: “First, the fire broke out late at night three years ago. The investigation of the accident afterwards recorded that the cause of the fire was that someone used a gas stove to ignite the tent and accidentally caught fire. So the question is, there was a performance in the circus that night, and the actors were very tired after the performance. Who does not sleep at night and wakes up in the middle of the night to cook with a gas stove?”
Lu Dongliang’s forehead was sweaty, and he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Fu Xiangxiang began to use the second finger: “Secondly, three years ago, the troupe was blessed with deformed show performances. It was popular for a while, and it must have made some money. However, the size of the Chunguang Circus was really limited. There are not many performances that have been shot, and the ticket price of the performance is only one-fifth of the current price. Even if the business is booming, it is impossible to make a large amount of money. The circus expanded rapidly after the fire accident and attracted a lot of money. For new talents, the size of the circus has more than doubled than before. Where does this funding come from?”
When everyone heard it, they nodded again and again.
Many people said that they joined the Chunguang Circus three years ago. At that time, Boss Lu was treated very generously and looked like he was not bad at all.
Fu Xiangxiang slowly flexed his third finger: “Third, the magician Cheng Wei. With Cheng Wei’s current reputation and status, he does not need to continue touring the circus. His coming to the Chunguang Circus is not so much a mutual benefit. Rather, it is the Chunguang Circus that is using his reputation to solicit business, and as far as I know, the performance of the troupe does not pay him much. So why does Cheng Wei continue to participate in the Chunguang Circus? Could it be that he is really affectionate and more old-fashioned?”
The magician’s assistant shook his head with a sullen face: “He has only interests in his eyes. Where is a person who cares about feelings?”
Fu Xiangxiang smiled at him: “Yes. Then why does he continue to cooperate with the circus?”
Fu Xiangxiang’s clear eyes looked straight at Lu Dongliang, and the clear pupils seemed to carry the power of insight into the truth.
She spoke slowly: “Or-what handle does he have in your hand?”
