There are several sunflowers downstairs. If it rains, if it rains at dusk, the sunflowers will droop their heads and their big leaves are dripping with water.
In October 2000, a girl walked by Sunflower and a boy stood downstairs. The girl raised her eyes and glanced at the boy, and their eyes met.
This boy is Master Han. Before this, his eyes never stayed on other people's eyes. He always lowered his head because there was a big tumor on his neck. Young girls often became curious when they saw him walking by.
He looked back at him. He quickly avoided it, feeling extremely depressed. He was ugly and never smiled. People couldn't even tell his age. In fact, he was only 17 years old. This withdrawn boy had been isolated from the world for many years.
Living on the land, he had a sneaky and cautious attitude in everything he did. However, this time, the girl glanced at him, and her eyes struck him like lightning. He looked particularly shy and immediately lowered his head.
The girl is Master Han's neighbor. Her mother died of homicide and her father died of suicide.
Who's love doesn't start from the first glance? Love often begins at the first sight. Love at first sight is the only sincere love, and it will not be the case if you hesitate a little.
When Master Han returned to the house, he felt very ugly. The tumor on his neck made him ashamed and made him feel extremely inferior. At night, he lay on the bed and opened his eyes countless times to look at the dark night outside the window, talking to himself.
Said, she is so beautiful!
A week later, he tried his best to create a passing moment. He lowered his head and walked slowly in the corridor, listening to the girl's footsteps going upstairs, and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
.In this way, he got closer to perfection and purity little by little, and he smelled a faint fragrance. The girl had just washed her hair, and the dizzying fragrance was also a refreshing breath. He felt like a garden was brushing against him.
Then he saw that the girl's shoes had thick soles and were made of foam. These shoes were very popular at the time. He even thought that he did not deserve this kind of happiness. From the day he was born and thrown into the trash can, he was suppressed.
Unable to expand outward, his heart grew inward. Unable to open, he burrowed deep into the depths. He experienced so much suffering and lived in a black hole. This black hole was his own heart. He had suffered everything in the world.
Painful, the dark depths where the ghost had just disappeared were filled with flowers because of that glimpse.
The building is very old, and there are some nests under the eaves. Sparrows fly away and come back in large numbers.
Master Han walked downstairs. For the first time in seventeen years, he heard the chirping of birds. In the past, the sound of bird chirping could not enter his heart. He also suddenly discovered that there were many dewdrops on every fallen leaf reflected by the moonlight.
There is a crystal star in every dewdrop.
People in love can lower their heads and see the stars in the sky.
Another week later, Master Han began to follow his sweetheart. He pretended to go for a walk. He usually put on a raincoat and went for a walk on rainy days. The raincoat not only covered the tumor on his neck, but also gave him a sense of pain.
sense of security.
That girl is a bun seller.
The elderly people nearby can still remember that the luxuriously decorated bun shop was formerly a thatched shed, and the owner was a Kaifeng native. His ancestral soup dumpling making skills made him rich. The roadside bun shop was a good choice for Han people.
To the young master, it seemed to be filled with blue light. The further he walked, the slower his steps became. After hesitating a few times, he would lose courage and suddenly turn around and walk back. Even he himself did not understand what was going on.
Then he regretted it and took courage. He felt that he could no longer move forward. The fierce inner struggle was no less than a world war. Finally, he walked into the bun shop, looking particularly shy. He handed over the money to
girl said:
"I'll buy steamed buns." After saying that, his ears turned red and his heart beat uncomfortably.
"It's you," the girl recognized him, a neighbor who had just moved here. The girl asked, "How many cages are there?"
He held out four fingers, not daring to raise his head. The girl put the soup package into a plastic bag and handed it to him, and he turned and left.
"Wait a minute." The girl stopped him.
These words were like a bolt from the blue. He didn't know what happened, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.
"Looking for your money." The girl smiled at him.
This smile would never be forgotten by him during his years behind bars.
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Long led a team of armed police officers to surround the building where San Wen Qian was. He found an excuse to sneak out in the evening and secretly reported to the headquarters in Beijing using a public phone. Because of the three Wen Qian, he
Gao Fei and others had already suspected Hua Long's identity as an undercover agent, and the headquarters ordered the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department to immediately arrest him. The confidentiality work was done very well. The armed police officers involved in the arrest were urgently gathered in their sleep. Some armed police officers
He didn't even have time to put on his pants, so he grabbed his weapon and rushed to the designated location wearing only his underwear.
The police with loaded guns guarded the entrance to the corridor. Hua Long shouted to open the door. The armed police hidden in the corridor quickly rushed into the house. San Wen Qian and Master Han were captured without a fight. Gao Fei fired a shot from his room through the door, and the police fell down. This was
Gao Fei bought some time and used a desk to block the door. Hua Long knocked open the door and found no one in the room. Gao Fei ran away.
As we have said above, the wires between the two buildings were covered with ivy and grapes. The dry grape vines and ivy stems were entangled together to form a strong rope. Gao Fei jumped to the balcony and jumped,
He grabbed the vine, slid to the ground, and disappeared into the night.
The command dispatched three interrogation experts from across the country. For several days, San Wenqian responded to the interrogation with hundreds of "I don't know." Half a month later, the interrogation expert told San Wenqian that the big monster had been caught and he had confessed.
The crime of drug trafficking in the past few years, whether you tell it or not, will eventually be shot. The interrogation expert placed a bottle of wine and a roast chicken in front of the three cents: "A friend of yours bought this to see you off."
.”
"Who?" San Wenqian asked.
"Paint a dragon." The interrogation expert replied.
Master Han remained silent during the interrogation. Finally one day, he couldn't bear it anymore and said to the interrogators: "I can tell you everything, but you have to let me see someone."
On November 21, 2000, a young man walked into a bun shop with a big tumor on his neck, followed by a group of police escorts. The diners in the shop didn't understand what was happening and stood up in panic. The police
Tell them to be quiet, the young man said hesitantly to a girl in the store:
"You don't know...I...I kind of like you!"
Huacheng launched a month-long special operation to crack down on drug trafficking and production. A number of drug dealers were arrested one after another, and more than a dozen drug-related entertainment venues were sealed. As of December 10, the pursuit teams were in Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan, etc.
140 people involved were arrested, and a total of 420 kilograms of heroin, 85 kilograms of opium, 130 kilograms of methamphetamine, 200 kilograms of K powder, 64 guns, 7,000 rounds of various bullets, 40 grenades, landmines, and bombs were seized, as well as a total of 30.47 million yuan in stolen money.
.
At San Wenqian's residence, the police found an old black and white photo. The background of the photo was a circus, a troupe of gangsters, with seven people standing together. After Young Master Han identified them, the seven people were:
Brother Thumb, Ma Youzhai, Ding Busan, Ding Busi, San Wenqian, Shan Ya, Meng Ni.
Twenty years ago, as soon as this circus appeared, there would be the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of flutes, and the cheers of children. Even if a tent was set up on the dirt, the audience would flock to it, and they would throw down their 50 cents.
Take away the mud on the ground.
Twenty years ago, five cents could buy a small steamed bun, ten cents could buy a whole day at a book stall, two cents could buy a pack of cigarettes, and fifty cents could buy a circus.
In that era, people did not have many entertainment options, so the circus was almost full when performing.
Meng Ni sells tickets and plays drums for three pennies. Thumbs up dances the lion. Some rare birds and animals are painted on the circus tent. Most of the ticket buyers are second-rate people in the town. Children sneak in under the canvas and wait until the audience gathers.
The performance officially begins.
The first show was a lion dance performance. Thumbs up acted as a lion, twisting his body in a circle surrounded by a chaotic audience, showing his teeth and claws, and jumping on the bench to the joyful beat. How much he loved lion dance at that time,
In his spare time, he practiced. When the circus was camping, he danced lions in the wheat fields nearby and on the frozen lake. He danced from spring to autumn. As the leader of this grass troupe, he played himself
——A lion, he gave it life.
The lion dance ended and Meng Ni appeared. This tall and fat woman slowly walked to the center of the venue and stood with her hands crossed. Her lips were closed, but the audience heard a man's voice saying: "Oh my god, there are quite a lot of people."
." Just as the audience was wondering where the sound came from, a dwarf rolled out from under Meng Ni's skirt.
He pinched his nose and said, "That's so cool."
The audience burst into laughter. The dwarf first introduced himself and gave a Northeastern Duo-style opening speech, making jokes and humor. Then he performed ventriloquism for everyone.
"You, lift up your big ass," the dwarf said to Meng Ni.
The flesh on Meng Ni's face moved, she forced a smile and raised her butt.
The dwarf got into the skirt and "poof", he imitated the sound of farting, making the audience burst into laughter.
He sounded the air-raid siren under his skirt, and the whole place fell silent. No one spoke loudly. The bombs fell suddenly, the sheep bleated and ran around, the chickens and dogs jumped, the children were crying, the house burned with crackling noises, and the audience listened.
, the footsteps of a team came closer and closer. Then, "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, washbasin knocked, and an old voice shouted, folks, rush, fight the Japanese." The machine gun rang out, mixed with the sound of exploding grenades, the Japanese
Woo, wow, screams... all kinds of sounds were imitated by the dwarf so vividly that the audience applauded and cheered.
Next up was a fat monk with big ears.
The monk claimed to be from Mount Wutai and his Buddhist name was Youzhai. He took out an oil lamp and asked an audience member to light it. He blew out the lamp, then touched the wick with his finger and it immediately lit up. He blew it out and then lit the lamp with his finger.
, repeated this several times, and the audience praised him. What was even more surprising was that he took out an egg and placed it under the sun. After a while, the egg slowly rose into the air and suspended in the air. The audience all stood up.
Stretching his neck and opening his mouth, the great monk grabbed the egg and cracked it open on the ground. The egg was empty, with no egg white or yolk. His finale was a magic trick. The assistant rolled out of a big vat, and he asked the performer just now
The ventriloquist dwarf got in and poured water into the tank one by one until it was full. He circled around the tank and muttered something. Suddenly he pointed at the water tank, and the water in the tank exploded.
A puff of thick smoke came out, and the water began to roll, gradually boil, and then slowly return to calmness. Just when the audience was wondering whether the dwarf in the tank would drown, the dwarf opened the door curtain from outside the tent and walked in. The audience applauded like this.
Chao, cheer loudly.
Lighting lamps with fingers, levitating eggs, and exploding clear water, these folk witchcraft are not mysterious. We will reveal the secrets in detail later. The magic of turning a living person into a living person is actually very simple. The tank is specially made, with a hidden compartment at the bottom, and the dwarf is hiding underneath.
, the other dwarf who came in from outside was his twin brother.
The twin brothers performed a pantomime for the audience. Two dwarfs competed for a three-legged chair. They caused bursts of laughter from the audience through falling, exaggerated beatings, and funny body movements. Finally, background music played.
, a sheep comes on stage, and the time for these two clowns is over.
A black goat pulled a cart slowly out, carrying two little monkeys, with Shan Ya playing the flute behind. The little monkeys saluted the audience. After a week of tour, the audience was amused, and the children cheered even more. Then
, the little monkey performed another performance of walking in unison, standing on his head, and holding bricks, and the goat beat a small drum with his hooves to accompany it. Finally, what amazed the audience was that Shanya took out a mouse from his pocket and untied the thin iron tied around its neck.
Chain, put it on the ground, and the mouse swooped away. Then, Shan Ya whistled, and the mouse jumped out from the backstage, climbed up along his trouser legs, and stood motionless on his shoulders! The audience's eyes were stunned.
Looking straight, Shan Ya took the mouse off his shoulder, tied a chain around its neck, played with it like a kitten or puppy, and put it in his pocket. It was just an ordinary gray-black mouse, so
Well-trained, it’s an eye-opener for viewers!
The next show was a juggling act. Sanwenqian threw several knives into the air and caught them with skillful techniques. What made the audience applaud was Sanwenqian's knife-throwing performance. He took out a wooden board, blindfolded his eyes, and stood in the distance and threw the knives.
The flying knife, the flying knife was firmly inserted into the wooden board and vibrating.
The last show was two dwarfs rolling out a cart with a large glass trough on it. There were many snakes in the trough and a woman was sitting in it.
The audience dispersed, and all the tragedy and comedy came to an end.
The circus broke camp and left, leaving only a small pile of ashes blown by the wind. It wandered from one place to another, wandering in rivers and lakes.
Initially, when the circus was first established, there was an elephant, which was bought by Brother Thumb from Yunnan, and later died of illness. In those years, they set out to strange towns, and the dwarf rode the elephant, as if he was a proud man.
The prince, grazing the white-headed goshawk at a height of one hundred meters.
In 1980, they camped at the foot of a mountain. The stars were very big and hung low over the wilderness. There was the sound of cracking millet in the wind and the fragrance of flowers. The dwarf picked large wild chrysanthemums and held a bunch of purple grapes in his right hand.
Entering the tent, another dwarf - his twin brother - wore a pair of yellow rubber shoes and caught a lot of fireflies to put in the mosquito net. When he came back, he heard the sound of buttons falling apart outside the tent. The two dwarfs started fighting.
For a woman, the fat woman slapped her butt and cried.
In 1981, they camped in an orchard. The river was clear, and pear blossoms covered the entire mat like snow. There was a dwarf sitting on the mat. If a sparrow looked down on this orchard, if the sparrow flew away and landed on the wires in the county town,
The sun is shining warmly, and the sparrow will see a fat woman holding the hand of a dwarf while shopping. The dwarf in the orchard is in a daze, observing how the pear blossoms press the branches into beautiful arcs.
Ding Busan and Ding Busi both love Meng Ni!
Shan Ya never tamed the white-headed eagle. Finally one day, the eagle flew away and never landed on his shoulder again.
The elephant is tied to the ground when it is still alive. Insert a small wooden stick on the ground and tie a rope. The other end of the rope is tied to the elephant's right hind foot to prevent the elephant from escaping. We all know the power of the elephant.
It can roll up a big tree with its proboscis, and can even crush a pig to death with one foot. Why does it stand there obediently? A child once had a question about this. He asked Shan Ya, why didn't the elephant run away?
Shanya replied that it felt that it could not run away.
It turned out that when the elephant was first captured, the circus was afraid that it would escape, so it locked its feet with chains and tied them to a big tree. Whenever the elephant tried to escape, its feet would be
The iron chain caused pain and bleeding. After countless attempts, the baby elephant failed to escape successfully, so it formed an impression in its mind that once a rope was tied to its feet, it would never be able to escape. It grew up.
Finally, although there was only a small rope tied to its feet and a small wooden stick tied to the other end of the rope, its subconscious told itself that it could not escape.
Sanwen Qian, native of Guangdong, Thumb Brother, is from Weishan, Yunnan.
Ma Youzhai's family is in Liaoning. Both his parents are dead, and only the swallows fly back to the deserted courtyard every year.
Ma Youzhai loves to eat meat, drink, smoke, and gamble. He is a fake monk. He likes silence. The silence he understands is a smelly ditch flowing silently. Green grass grows beside the ditch. He sits in the ditch.
While smoking. The house behind is not alone. There are hundreds of identical houses built together around it. There are people sleeping in each house. He can feel the hot breath exhaled by the family in their sleep. In fact, he really wants to have one.
A home.
When he was in Huacheng, San Wenqian picked up a freak from the trash can, and Ma Youzhai also picked up a woman. The woman gave birth to three children for him and then died. In 1990, the circus was disbanded.
When we recall the past, we will remember that one afternoon many years ago, dust was splashed on the venue, people were cheering, gongs, drums and flutes made beautiful music, or the fragrance of locust flowers, or the permeating fragrance of osmanthus, or the dilapidated
The house and the windows facing north are these things that make us remember a circus. All we remember are the three words circus and other things we felt at that time.
