He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, said nothing with a cold face, and just stared at the road ahead.
On the national highway, our speed has reached 140! This is already the limit for an old-fashioned Santana, but the van behind us doesn’t know if it has been modified, but it is still holding on and honking its horn crazily.
!
I saw in the rearview mirror that someone stuck his head out and pointed a knife at us.
"Where is the next intersection?"
My face turned pale, and after thinking for a while I said, "The next intersection should be towards the Selong Village area."
Soon we reached the intersection, our car suddenly slowed down, the rear wheel braked, made a 180-degree drift, turned around, and rushed down the national highway towards Selong Village.
"Brother Zhi, how about I drive it instead?"
Hearing what I said, he suddenly laughed and said half-jokingly: "Brother, men can't say no."
Not long after, the familiar car lights appeared in the rearview mirror.
He cursed: "If you bite so hard, these Jiangxi guys are all dogs. Tell me where to run."
Without thinking, I immediately said: "Run to a place with a lot of people and cars!"
That's what I said, but now in the middle of the night, there are no people or cars anywhere on this small road leading to the countryside.
Suddenly, and by luck, I turned around and saw a brightly lit place in the northwest. I don't know what they were doing. There were many people there, and I could hear the sound of loudspeakers.
I quickly said: "Go there!"
When I arrived, I discovered that there were several huge tents here, and many people were smiling in and out. The door was brightly lit and there was a small booth selling tickets. You could only enter after buying a ticket. It suddenly dawned on me that this was a night circus.
In those days, there were a lot of mobile circuses across the country, most of which were active in some second- and third-tier small cities and rural areas. Many people who were born before 1995 should have seen the mobile circus. Those who were born after 1995 would probably have seen it.
There are relatively few.
Ren Xiaozhi was stabbed in the abdomen. I didn’t know the depth of the wound. I only saw him holding it down with one hand.
The ticket for the night circus is 20 yuan. After we paid the money and went in, we first saw a crude and giant poster posted at the door.
The slogan on the poster is "The Royal Circus, come in if you want to see it."
Printed at the bottom is a woman's head, with the woman's head connected to the body of a python, and four red letters next to it read, "Snake with a human face".
There are also printed on the side a monkey with a human face, a beautiful woman in a vase, a monkey riding a goat, and a child holding a spider as big as a basin in his hand. These patterns are very stiff and look fake.
This kind of mobile circus generally has a morning show, an afternoon show, and a night show. You can enter the morning show for free. The purpose is to arouse people's curiosity. The afternoon show and night show are the highlights. In some night shows, you can also see "heavy taste" performances.
, I won’t tell you what kind of heavy-flavored performance it is, I’m sure there must be people who have seen it back then.
After entering, the performance in the iron cage was a monkey riding a bicycle. The monkey was holding a wine bottle in his hand, drinking and riding, which made the spectators laugh loudly.
There were many people smoking in the venue, and it was very smoky. I nervously turned my head and looked back and forth to see if those Jiangxi people were chasing after me.
Ren Xiaozhi leaned on his seat, and after a minute or two, he sighed: "Hey... I'm sorry, brothers, I will help take care of your family."
He stood up, pointed to his wound and said: "This is evidence. The southerners have attacked us. I'll see what the conservative old men in the gang are going to say this time!"
"Brother Zhi, you...!"
He lit a cigarette and said, "It won't be convincing if you don't get hurt. I already knew that the Jiangxi people were ambushing me. The previous agreement was to use the Huaihe River as the dividing line. We won't go south and they won't go north."
