17.Chapter 17 Bai Bai is soft and comfortable to the touch
Just like the famous magician Liu Yanjian in the Chinese Spring Festival Gala said, "The next step is the moment to witness the miracle." Each magician often has their own special spoken language.
Some people play in the mysterious style, some play in the orthodox style, and some play in the horror style... there are all kinds of things.
And Li Mengnan's spoken language is obviously a bit mean.
The scene in front of me looked familiar. Many people watching had seen a similar magic show on TV. An empty box was covered with a cloth, and then opened it was filled with candies, and then the magician sprinkled candies in large quantities.
If you meet someone with a lot of money, the candies in the box may be replaced with red envelopes or something.
Compared with the previous suspense of disappearing 100,000 yuan, this extremely common trick of making something out of nothing obviously makes people less expectant.
Most of the onlookers were a little uninterested. If they didn't want to see with their own eyes the huge sum of 100,000 yuan that had been lost before, some of them might have left the venue early.
"Do you know the difference between an excellent magician and a mediocre magician?" Li Mengnan seemed to see this sign, smiled meaninglessly, and gently held his hand on the bottom of the iron money box, "An excellent magician will always be
He won’t let the audience guess what he’s going to do next…”
Li Mengnan raised his finger and made a hissing sound. He fumbled under the iron money box for a moment and suddenly seemed to have caught something.
"Huh? Guess what I touched?" Li Mengnan pretended to be surprised, and then said with a look of enjoyment: "This thing is white and soft, and it feels very comfortable to the touch..."
The onlookers, especially the men, immediately showed understanding expressions and burst into laughter.
Wu Ansu, who was holding the money box, was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li Mengnan was teasing her. He gritted his teeth and glared: "Li Mengnan, are you trying to commit suicide?"
"I'm talking about the tablecloth. If you are thinking about it, please face the wall."
Li Mengnan's hand that was touching the bottom of the iron money box suddenly sank, and a corner of the tablecloth was pulled out almost an inch from the bottom of the box. The center of the tablecloth covering the surface of the money box completely sank into the bottom of the box, as if there was a hole the size of a finger underneath.
"let's go--!"
This time, Li Mengnan didn't seem to have any intention of showing off. He suddenly pulled out the tablecloth covering the top from the bottom of the money box!
"OMG--!"
The crowd of onlookers exploded like a pan of oil poured into cold water. Although Li Mengnan's miracle of pulling out cloth from a box was amazing, all they could see at this moment was a box full of colorful banknotes!
Money was really transformed back by Li Mengnan!
"That's not right, why is there only this little bit?"
Soon, sharp-eyed spectators discovered that the money box contained basically ten and twenty yuan banknotes. It looked like a lot, but in fact it only amounted to less than two thousand yuan.
Obviously, these are just the small coins that Li Mengnan got from setting up a stall before.
Where did that huge sum of 100,000 yuan go? This question arises in almost everyone's mind.
"It seems like something is missing, right?"
Of course, Li Mengnan could guess what these people were thinking. He took the iron money box from Wu Ansu's hand and shook it back and forth a few times like a dustpan.
A bit of bright red gradually arched out from the pile of black old banknotes, like a bud bursting out of the ground, and instantly turned into a sea of bright red flowers.
The foot-long iron money box was almost overflowing at the moment, and it was all filled with brand new 100-yuan Chinese coins!
One hundred thousand yuan is a thousand hundred-dollar bills. When they are bundled into a bundle, they look inconspicuous. But once they are fully unfolded and piled together, the shocking visual impact suddenly makes all the onlookers lose their voices. It is vaguely okay.
Heavy breathing and swallowing sounds were heard.
"good--!"
I don't know who shouted, and the entire crowd of onlookers woke up. In an instant, there was earth-shattering applause and cheers, which lasted for a long time.
The completion of the third step means the curtain call for the entire magic show. The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, still excitedly discussing the various miracles just now.
Soon, only Li Mengnan, Wu Ansu, Brando and others were left in front of the food stall, as well as a few diners who had not yet finished eating.
"Officer Wu, help me return this tin box."
Wu Ansu held a box full of hundred-yuan bills and was slightly stunned: "Ah? Then... won't you put this money away?"
"This money is not mine, it was conjured up by the cornucopia...and I gave this cornucopia to my eldest sister as our stew money, have you forgotten?"
Li Mengnan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and suddenly blinked his left eye at Wu Ansu covertly.
Wu Ansu understood everything immediately.
No wonder Li Mengnan took the initiative to ask for payment and put up such a big show. It turned out that he was not trying to make money for himself, but was helping the female stall owner raise the medical expenses for her child's treatment!
Wu Ansu suddenly couldn't believe it. Forget it if he was a rich man like Brando with a net worth of over 100 million. Li Mengnan was a so-called poor person. His entire net worth combined could not exceed 10,000 yuan. One hundred thousand yuan was not a lot of money.
It was such a small amount that even an outsider like her, who had nothing to do with it, was a little tempted. Li Mengnan actually donated it all without hesitation?
No matter what kind of evil Li Mengnan had done in the past, or how bad his character was, he was worthy of her admiration just for his innocent heart of providing help in times of need.
Wu Ansu suddenly felt that maybe as Li Mengnan said, she didn't know him well enough...
"This... this is not okay! Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but... this is too much..."
The middle-aged female stall owner had never received such a large amount of donations. She waved her hands in panic and refused to take back the tin money box no matter how much Wu Ansu tried to persuade her.
On the other hand, Brando gave Li Mengnan a meaningful look and said, "Take it. With this little brother's ability, this little money is nothing to him."
After hearing what Brando said, the middle-aged woman reluctantly agreed to accept the money, and she couldn't help crying with joy while thanking him repeatedly.
Li Mengnan shyly asked Brando for a cigar to try, and then said: "Uncle, can I trouble you?"
Brando seemed to have guessed what Li Mengnan was going to say. He raised his hand and called a bodyguard over. He pointed at the female stall owner and ordered: "Ahu, follow that woman in a moment and send her home and come back."
"Thank you." Li Mengnan smiled gratefully. Talking to smart people saves your worries.
…
The dark brown Maybach 62S drove smoothly on the road, and the eye-catching body reflected the blurred light under the bright street lights, constantly attracting waves of admiration and envy from passers-by.
The passing drivers gave way fearfully, for fear of scratching the million-dollar car. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they watched the majestic rear of the car drive away.
"Mr. Bai, you seem to value that young man very much?"
The secretary-looking woman sitting on the right side of the back seat is named Su Qingchu. She is a street child. She has been adopted by Brando since she was ten years old. It has been fifteen years now. She can be said to be the person Brando trusts most.
one.
"I do care a little about him...especially his magic, or as he calls it, cantrips."
