Chapter 99
The large performance shed is still being built, but a series of small sheds and tents for the acrobatic troupe's members have been set up.
Xu Dong held the hand of his "son" Liangliang and followed him to a white-roofed shed in the middle.
The shed is surrounded by thick plastic boards, and a blanket curtain is hung at the door.
It was still summer at this time, the sun was high, and the sight of this kind of residence made people feel hot and depressed.
Xu Dong urged while lifting his collar: "Can you be more quick and don't waste my time!"
The young woman glanced at him and said, "You have to touch and see a mule before you take in a cow, let alone a human."
Xu Dong stared at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means we have to see if the child is sick or disabled, otherwise it will be difficult to find a home even if he is adopted."
"My son has never been sick since he was a child and is very healthy."
"Haha." The young woman covered her mouth and smiled, "It doesn't matter what you said. Come in and sit. It's hot outside but cool inside."
With that said, the woman opened the curtain, and a stream of cool air immediately came out, which not only dissipated the heat, but also made people shiver uncontrollably.
Xu Dong suspected that there might be ice cubes inside.
"Can you come in?" the woman urged again.
Xu Dong took a deep breath, held Liangliang's hand and walked in.
The space inside the shed is not large, with a chair and a bed on both sides.
In the middle area is a water tank with a statue wearing a white robe and a tall hat holding a lantern in both hands.
At first glance, he thought it was a living person, but Xu Dong was startled when he came in.
Liangliang backed away in fear, hiding behind his father, grabbing Xu Dong's trouser legs with both hands.
"What is this?" Xu Dong asked.
The woman said matter-of-factly: "It's so rare. How can you not have something that you admire?"
The old woman sat down on the chair, holding an old-fashioned porcelain bowl in her hand. There were several holes in the porcelain bowl, which contained clear water.
The woman bent down and grabbed Liangliang.
"No, I don't, I don't." Liangliang looked at his father pleadingly.
Xu Dong's eyes showed struggle, but he still didn't look down and stood there without moving.
The woman pulled the boy away from the man and brought him to the old woman.
The old woman reached out and touched Liangliang's cheek.
After being touched by this, the little boy immediately stopped making noises, his eyelids drooped, but under the calm appearance, his body was shaking non-stop.
The old woman first touched the little boy's eyebrow with her index finger, and then put her index finger into the clear water in the bowl. Immediately, the water in the bowl turned light black.
The woman looked at the color and frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the color.
However, she still took out the money from her pocket, counted it and handed it to Xu Dong: "That's all, do you want some love?"
Xu Dong took the money, stuffed it into his pocket without counting it, turned around and left quickly.
Liangliang's body was shaking more violently.
The old woman continued to hold the bowl, motionless.
At this time, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and a man poked his head in and asked: "Sister Rou, the food has been bought, and everyone is waiting for you to serve it."
The woman called "Sister Rou" suddenly turned her head and cursed at the man: "Eat, eat, eat, the offerings are not ready yet, you just know how to eat!"
"Didn't I just collect one..."
Sister Rou pushed Liangliang and snorted coldly: "The quality is too bad, a child no one wants."
Xu Dong walked all the way out to a small shop on the side of the road. He went in and asked for a pack of cigarettes. He stood at the door of the shop, took out one and lit it. He choked on the first puff, then squatted down and started retching.
The pleasure of revenge that he imagined did not appear. On the contrary, his heart suddenly became empty and his eyes became moist.
"Pah! Pah!"
He slapped both of his mouth hard, making his face turn red.
"Xu Dong, Xu Dong, why are you so mean? It's not your kind. Why are you reluctant to give up?"
He originally had an enviable and wonderful life.
After graduation, I was assigned to a very profitable unit with good benefits; I married an intellectual and beautiful wife, and they later had a lovely son.
At that time, he really felt that God was treating him well.
But later, he realized that he had become a joke.
First, his wife divorced him on the grounds of emotional discord. Although he did not understand it, he tried hard to retain her, but in the end he had no choice but to accept it.
Fortunately, he won custody of his son.
For this reason, he also feels some gratitude to his ex-wife.
Until one day, rumors about his ex-wife reached his ears. He didn't believe it at first, but later he found out that his wife had been with her when she was in school. Strictly speaking, he was an adult.
That third party.
He went to that school and met the retired old professor Chen Deliang. With just one glance, he confirmed that Liangliang was his son.
He didn't think that his son looked anything like him before, maybe he was more like his mother, but when the suspect appeared, he couldn't help but disbelieve the comparison.
It turns out that over the years, I have not only helped others raise their wives, but also helped others raise their sons.
Every time I look at my beloved son, I feel that it is a kind of ridicule to me and a trample on my self-esteem.
Especially the son's name has the word "Liang" in it, and his nickname is "Liangliang", which was given by his wife and is a word in the old man's name.
His world collapsed.
However, after selling the child, he felt very sad, and he could still vaguely hear his son's voice calling him "Dad".
Squatting on the ground, he turned his face and saw a red car among the toys on the table outside the shop.
At this moment, there are countless voices in my heart that are scorning and cursing myself, scolding myself for not living up to expectations, scolding myself for being a coward, scolding myself for what I deserve, and scolding myself for being a waste.
But he still stood up, picked up the toy car, walked to the counter, asked the boss how much it cost, took out his wallet, and paid the bill.
Then, he took the toy and started walking back.
He kept taking deep breaths, his expression was very painful, and he could only keep repeating, "Even if you have a dog, it will have feelings after you have it for so long."
You can leave the child with his mother, the old man, or even an orphanage, but you still shouldn't sell it.
As soon as he thought about this, he started to run, and he ran faster and faster.
At the same time, inside the white shed.
In the bowl held by the old woman, there was originally only light black water, but it was gradually becoming richer.
Sister Rou noticed it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"From this point of view, although the quality is only half of normal, it is still reasonable."
The old woman stood up with the bowl in hand, walked to the water tank, and poured the black water in the bowl into it.
The appearance of the statue seems to be a little more alive.
A smile appeared on the old woman's face, and the droopy skin on both sides of her mouth was reluctantly raised.
Sister Rou clasped her hands together and bowed three times to the statue.
Then, she walked out of the shed and saw the man running over with a toy in his hand.
"Pay back the money to you, give me the child, count the money, I haven't touched it!"
Xu Dong took out all the money he had previously put in his pocket.
Sister Rou shook her head.
"Give me the child, and I'll give you some more money. If I don't sell it, give me the child!"
Sister Rou continued to shake her head.
"I'm not fucking selling it anymore!"
Xu Dong wanted to break in.
The next moment, Sister Rou grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted his knees.
"Bang!"
Xu Dong covered his lower abdomen, knelt on the ground, and opened his mouth wide. He did not expect that this young girl could be so harsh.
"Give me the children...I'll add money...you accept the children...aren't you also doing it...to make money..."
"Making money? Ha."
Sister Rou smiled, then struck Xu Dong on the back of his neck with a knife.
Xu Dong's eyes turned white and he fainted.
Two members of the acrobatic troupe came over and pointed to Xu Dong on the ground: "Sister Rou, there is a reservoir in front of us. Can we handle it for him tonight?"
"Get rid of this shit, find a cage and lock him up. When you leave Jinling and go north, sell him to a black coal kiln. He has to live, otherwise the kid you just took in will be useless.
From now on, we still have to take care of this child ourselves, otherwise it will always come out of nowhere.
During the performance tomorrow, you should keep an eye on yourself and look for children who are accompanied by their parents to watch the performance.
By the way, has the promotional vehicle driven out yet?"
"Not yet, I'm eating."
"Let them eat in the car. Now let me promote it. Go to the residential areas near the kindergarten. Turn on the loudspeaker for me!"
…
"The Yu Family Acrobatic Troupe is about to present you with wonderful performances, including cute dwarfs and beautiful mermaids... Children, please ask your parents to take you to Xijiao Plaza tomorrow to watch!"
Tan Wenbin rolled down the taxi window and looked at the oncoming van. There was a big speaker on the top of the van and various performance posters on both sides.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, is this the same company? It's also called the Yu Family Acrobatic Troupe."
Li Zhuiyuan nodded: "That should be it."
Tan Wenbin asked the taxi driver in front of him: "Master, do you know Xijiao Plaza?"
"We know each other. My family lives nearby. Are you here to see the acrobatics? It won't start until tomorrow. When I got out of the car in the morning, I saw they were still building a shed."
"Are there many people in that acrobatic troupe?"
"It looks like there are a lot of them, there are several trucks alone. Haha, tomorrow is the weekend and the kindergarten is on holiday. I plan to take my children to watch the show."
"Master, it's better not to go there. There are many people there and accidents are easy to happen." After a pause, Tan Wenbin added, "It's not safe for children."
"My child is smart and smart. He will be fine. If he doesn't talk to strangers, he can't be deceived."
Li Zhuiyuan said calmly: "There is no child that cannot be deceived."
The driver immediately retorted: "My child is really different. We have taught him since he was a child not to talk to strangers and not to take things from strangers. He is not like other children who are silly."
Li Zhuiyuan didn't answer anymore. He thought the driver was stupid.
Li Zhuiyuan has studied and understood many children and came to the conclusion that there are basically no children in this world who cannot be deceived.
And those parents who like to be complacent and praise their children for being smart and not being deceived by strangers are often really ridiculous and stupid.
The most important thing is that most of the time traffickers don't need to lie at all.
It is too easy for an adult to control a child. He can clamp the child's body with one arm, cover the child's mouth with the other hand, pick him up and walk away. The child cannot resist or make a sound at all, and his posture is very ugly.
Getting up is almost like holding a baby normally.
Even if an individual child struggles harder and cries, the trafficker will say, "Don't make trouble, be obedient, and I will buy you a toy next time." Passers-by will not think that they are abducting children.
We have arrived at our destination. The so-called Western Suburb Square is actually a small piece of hardened land, with a large wasteland nearby. This place should have been planned, but it has stalled for unknown reasons.
Therefore, any major events, temple fairs, performance groups, etc. will usually be held here.
"Brother Xiaoyuan, right there."
There is a place ahead where a shed is being built, and a door sign made of large newspapers has already been erected.
"Brother Binbin, let's go eat."
"Okay, let's eat first, by the way..." Before Tan Wenbin could finish his words, he heard a quarrel coming from the taxi behind him, "Hey, why hasn't Ayou gotten out of the car yet?"
Li Zhuiyuan, who has good hearing, replied: "He didn't bring enough money when he went out."
Tong'an Town is located in the suburbs of Jinling. It's quite a long way to take a taxi from the school, so the fare is naturally not low.
When Shuyou Lin went out, he was only cautious and brought his own face paint and costumes. He only forgot to put some extra money in his pocket. He did not expect to take such a long car ride.
"Brother Xiaoyuan?"
"You go ahead."
Tan Wenbin walked to the taxi and interrupted the master's angry voice: "How much money is left? Are these enough?"
"That's enough, I'll find it for you."
"Stop looking for it and calm down."
"Thank you, young man. Is he your friend?"
"Well, we came out together."
After hearing this, the master turned back to look at Shuyou Lin, and his tone softened a little: "If you had called your friend over earlier, why don't we get married."
Tan Wenbin said: "My friend is thin-skinned."
Lin Shuyou got out of the car and faced Tan Wenbin with a mixture of happiness and embarrassment on his face.
"Brother, thank you..."
"Okay, what a big deal."
Tan Wenbin was very satisfied with Shuyou Lin's expression. He didn't ask the driver to change the money before, not because he deliberately pretended to be generous. In fact, the tip was for Shuyou Lin.
"Brother, you are now..."
"Let's go eat and walk together now."
"Together?"
"Why are you hiding? My brother Xiaoyuan has already seen you."
"Then he won't let me go, right?"
"Do you have money to take a taxi back?"
"No, no..."
"Taxi fare is quite expensive. It's not cost-effective to take separate taxis. Then you can just wait and go back with us."
"Really, brother?"
"Let me correct you. From now on, it's okay to call me eldest brother in private. In front of my brother Xiao Yuan, just call me Bin Bin. As for brother Xiao Yuan, just call me the same as me."
"Okay, Brother Binbin."
Tan Wenbin put his arm around Lin Shuyou's shoulders and led him towards Li Zhuiyuan.
"Brother Xiaoyuan..." When there was still some distance between us, Shuyou Lin first raised his hand to say hello.
Li Zhuiyuan glanced at him but didn't respond. He turned and walked towards a noodle shop on the side of the road.
I sat down and ordered three bowls of noodles.
Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou also walked into the store and sat in front of Li Zhuiyuan.
Lin Shuyou said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xiaoyuan, it is also my responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the Tao."
Li Zhuiyuan took out three pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and found that they were a little dirty, so he handed them to Shuyou Lin: "Go and wash them."
"Okay!" Shuyou Lin breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks and walked to the sink. When he came back, a smile appeared on his face.
Three bowls of noodles were served.
Li Zhuiyuan said: "The evil spirit is a bit big this time. The three of us need to work together to return to school alive."
"Understood." Lin Shuyou nodded vigorously, with excitement in his eyes, "Our officers and generals are not afraid of evil intentions."
The "White Crane Boy" whom Shuyou Lin invited before was supposed to be a disciple of the Antarctic Immortal in the mythical narrative. As for the two additional generals, they were the two ghost kings subdued by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Theoretically speaking, no matter how powerful Granny Yu is, she is still not worthy of recognition in front of them, and she is not even qualified to be on the dining table.
But the problem is, God is God and man is man. How powerful the god you invite depends on you.
Li Zhuiyuan: "You must learn to cherish yourself, so that you can sustainably eliminate demons and defend the Tao."
Shuyou Lin: "That's what Brother Xiaoyuan said."
Tan Wenbin poked Lin Shuyou's arm and said to Li Zhuiyuan: "Don't worry, Brother Xiaoyuan, Ayou understands, and we will both obey your orders."
"Yes, yes, I will obey orders."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Let's eat noodles."
After eating the noodles, the three of them returned to the Xijiao Square.
More than half of the performance booth has been set up and should be completed in the evening. At this moment, there is a row of small tents outside the performance booth, and some performances in small venues that can be listed separately have begun.
For example, "smashing jars", "ringing rings", "playing balloons", "vase girl", "beauties falling in love with pythons"...
These projects are all provided by the acrobatic troupe. Each shed requires a separate ticket. It is not expensive and ordinary children can afford it with their pocket money.
Some local vendors also came together at this time and set up tents along the acrobatic troupe's show. It already felt like a small temple fair.
"Have fun, get involved, and pay attention."
After saying that, Li Zhuiyuan's face showed the innocence and liveliness that a child of his age should have.
The three of them first came to the can-smashing booth, where a row of beverage cans were stacked up, and they smashed them with basketballs. There was a poster with rules next to them, indicating which awards would be assigned to the number of cans smashed.
Generally speaking, the bottom jar should be filled with sand or cement.
Tan Wenbin spent money and bought three opportunities.
The first time was when Li Zhuiyuan came. Li Zhuiyuan threw the basketball casually and only knocked down two cans.
When it was Tan Wenbin's turn, he exerted great force, but there were still a few jars at the bottom that had not fallen.
Finally, there was Shuyou Lin. His basketball was spinning when he threw it, and landed in front of the cans, turning over all the cans.
He won a big rabbit doll and handed it to Li Zhuiyuan like a treasure.
Li Zhuiyuan took the rabbit doll and hugged it with joy on his face.
At the same time, he whispered: "If you stand out any more, go back to school."
Shuyou Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized it and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Next came the traps, but Li Zhuiyuan still threw them casually and didn't hit any of them.
Tan Wenbin played well and used the money from five bottles of drinks to win a bottle of drinks.
As for Lin Shuyou, this time he also imitated Li Zhuiyuan and deliberately misled him.
This is a stall set up by people from the acrobatic troupe. When you meet a real master, it is easy to attract attention. But at this time, the most unnecessary thing is to be a conspicuous bag.
Li Zhuiyuan also noticed that these stall owners have a special characteristic. When they bring children to play, they will be particularly enthusiastic... Of course, children are the main consumers, and enthusiasm is normal, but their attention is not on
The child is more likely to be patrolling the adults around the child, seeming to be judging something.
Especially for those parents who bring their children together, they are even more attentive.
This is definitely not because Li Zhuiyuan is overthinking, but because their layered performance is too obvious.
This made Li Zhuiyuan a little curious. Even if your entire acrobatic troupe is an organization of human traffickers, shouldn't you mainly focus on the "appearance" of your children?
Moreover, the more children are running around alone, and the children who are only taken care of by one grandpa, grandma or mother, the more likely they should be your best targets.
Here, there is obvious illogic.
Li Zhuiyuan felt that he should re-examine their purpose of abducting children.
Everyone outside had a round of fun, and the three of them bought tickets and walked into the "Vase Girl" tent.
On a stage, there is a square wooden board with a vase standing in the middle. There is a woman on the vase, and a microphone is placed in front of the woman.
It seems that this woman only has one head, hanging on the vase.
There were quite a few people who bought tickets to come in and watch. The vase girl sang some children's songs and chatted for a while.
Just buy a ticket and come in, there is no time limit, and you can leave when you get tired of watching it.
Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou looked around with great interest. Although they knew they had a mission and that this was an "enemy" site, they still couldn't stop their curiosity.
After coming out, Tan Wenbin coughed twice, and Shuyou Lin rubbed his face. Both of them pretended that they were just appreciating and immersed themselves in the performance just to better integrate into the performance.
However, after a brief eye contact between the two, Tan Wenbin was finally driven by curiosity and lowered his head to ask Li Zhuiyuan:
"Brother Xiaoyuan, how did you do this?"
"It's great that you didn't ask me if it was true."
"Oh, I'm not stupid." Tan Wenbin smiled. Most people would die without their heads, let alone humans.
"There are two angled mirrors placed under the wooden lattice. People actually stand under it and only position themselves above the neck. In order not to get in trouble, we have to set up fence ropes to prevent people from looking too close, and we have to raise the table.
height, to make her as condescending as possible."
"Oh~"
"Oh~"
Both of them showed expressions of sudden realization.
This made Li Zhuiyuan a little confused. After all, these two people were admitted to universities with serious qualifications. How come they couldn't even see through this?
However, at this moment, Li Zhuiyuan stopped. He felt something strange, and there seemed to be a faint black color in his vision.
He turned around and looked at Shuyou Lin. Sure enough, Shuyou Lin also stopped and closed his eyes.
If it opens again, it will most likely turn into a vertical pupil.
Li Zhuiyuan didn't know whether this was a characteristic of an officer or a general, or because Lin Shuyou himself couldn't control his ability well.
"Brother Binbin."
"clear."
Tan Wenbin had a pure heart charm hidden in his hand. He put his hand into Shuyou Lin's clothes and stuck the charm on Shuyou Lin's back.
The Pure Heart Talisman can remove evil spirits. Although the official has changed his evil ways, his predecessor is still the King of Ghosts, so it will naturally have the effect.
Shuyou Lin's body trembled slightly, and when he opened his eyes again, they were clear again.
"Yes... I'm sorry." Shuyou Lin knew that he had almost gotten into big trouble again just now.
"Is your master or your grandfather like you?"
If this is the traditional characteristic of their sect, then if they encounter evil spirits while walking on the road, they will just take action without saying a word.
But think about it, it is unlikely. It is difficult for an absolutely radical sect to survive, especially in the period of decline of inheritance.
"My master and grandfather are not like this, only I am like this."
"Then did they say what the reason was?"
"They said it was because I was too talented and it was too easy to get up."
"Good talent? Then you can only hire Baihe Boy now?"
"It is very rare for someone at my age to be able to hire Baihe Boy alone without the help of temples and support. Of course, Brother Xiaoyuan, I can't compare with you. You can even hire a general."
"Didn't I tell you last time that I was lying to you?"
"That's because you are being modest."
"Who told you that?"
When Tan Wenbin heard this, he moved his eyes away and carefully looked at the poster of "Beauty and Python in Love" in front of him.
Shuyou Lin: "No one told me, I heard it by myself."
"Brother Binbin."
"I didn't say that."
"Go buy a ticket."
"Ah, oh, okay, hehe."
Tan Wenbin went to buy tickets.
The three of them walked into the tent.
On the poster outside, a beautiful woman with a hot figure is wearing a swimsuit with a python wrapped around her body.
This advertisement is really not adulterated at all, it is even modest.
Because inside the mosquito net bed, there was really a very young and beautiful woman with scantily clad clothes lying there.
Next to her, there is a thick python, and there are many thin snakes under her body.
The audience in this tent was twice as large as that in the previous one.
Children's eyes are on snakes, and adults' eyes are on women.
Li Zhuiyuan held the big rabbit doll and stared at the woman.
There were wisps of black air surrounding her body that ordinary people couldn't see. It didn't look like she was possessed by evil spirits, but more like a kind of contamination.
"Keep an eye on it."
Sister Rou, who was lying on the mosquito net bed, reminded her, then reached out and grabbed a small snake next to her and let it enter through her nostrils. After a while, the little snake came out of her mouth again.
The crowd of onlookers immediately let out a burst of exclamations, feeling frightened and frightened.
Immediately afterwards, the python that was lying there lazily and not moving much began to squirm on the woman's body. The snake's head swam behind the woman's head, slowly stood up, and spit out the message.
The woman's eyes and the snake's eyes moved almost simultaneously, scanning everyone present.
Li Zhuiyuan noticed that they would make a slight pause when they scanned the children.
But what Li Zhuiyuan didn't expect was that in the end, the woman and the python actually faced him.
Li Zhuiyuan pretended to be afraid and raised the rabbit doll in his arms to block his sight.
In fact, the woman did not notice anything unusual about Li Zhuiyuan. She simply thought that the child was quite good-looking.
This child must be in his early ten years, so he is not a good target for trafficking.
For human traffickers, boys under the age of five are good targets. The price is high and the market is tight, making them easy to sell.
Before they can remember, Yangyang will forget the past and regard the buyers as their biological parents.
"Little brother, don't be afraid, hehe." Sister Rou said.
The others also turned their attention to him.
Li Zhuiyuan quietly poked his eyes out of the rabbit doll, and after making sure that the other party didn't notice his specialness, he lifted the rabbit doll up, then shook his head and backed away, and finally exited the performance tent altogether.
Before touching Grandma Yu's position, he didn't want to have direct contact with her surroundings.
Because his target is Granny Yu. If he doesn't kill her, even if he kills her, no matter how many of his men are killed, under the influence of the river, she will still continue to fight him to the death.
Tan Wenbin: "Hahaha, Xiaoyuan, why are you so scared?"
Tan Wenbin chased after him with a smile.
Lin Shuyou didn't have that kind of acting talent, so he could only pretend to be helpless, shake his head, and follow him out.
There was a burst of laughter in the tent, and everyone thought it was normal. Not to mention children, many adults would be scared when faced with such a scene full of snakes.
Sister Rou didn't care, picked up another thin snake and continued to perform.
After Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou came out to join up, the three of them started walking towards the performance booth being built.
Li Zhuiyuan: "There is something wrong with this woman. It is obvious right now that she is the only one. The other employees in the acrobatic troupe seem to be ordinary people. When you really start to move, you should pay attention to her movements."
Lin Shuyou said seriously: "I remember."
"No, you don't need to remember her. Brother Binbin, focus on that woman. If she appears when you do it, it's up to you to hold her back."
Because Runsheng and Yinmeng were not here this time, Tan Wenbin, who was given such a sole responsibility for the first time, was very excited. He raised his hand to his forehead and shook it forward, and then stamped his foot:
"loyalty!"
At this time, many people stopped here to watch the construction of the performance booth.
Li Zhuiyuan discovered the problem as soon as he arrived. The temporary foundation of the performance studio was a little too solid.
The stakes wrapped in oil paper obviously have their own special characteristics, and judging from their specific positions, they are clearly the preliminary layout of a hallucinogenic formation.
However, the builders of these acrobatic troupes obviously do not understand the formations, and they are more like imitating the gourd. In the middle, there is a person holding a blueprint in his hand, constantly instructing others to correct the position of the wooden stakes.
While they were decorating, Li Zhuiyuan was thinking about how to modify the layout.
It's a good thing that no one understands the formation, so you don't have to worry about covering it up. You can directly place a miniature formation in the center of the large formation for control.
If you meet someone who knows how to do it, this move will be as obvious as holding a bright light bulb at night, but in the eyes of someone who doesn't know how to do it, it is just an ordinary light bulb in the trash during the day.
When observing the row of small tents behind the performance booth, the white-roofed tent in the center area with insulation measures caught Li Zhuiyuan's attention.
It's almost like putting a banner on the shed saying: I have a problem with this place!
Daytime is not suitable for hands-on work, let alone decoration, so you have to wait until the dead of night when everyone is quiet.
In the next time, the three of them have to choose a place where they can rest and discuss.
Unfortunately, there is no hotel room nearby, but there is a building across the road, with a massage sign hanging on the balcony on the second floor, where you can observe the entire acrobatic troupe from a high position.
Crossing the road and arriving at the entrance of the store, there was a massage table alone, and five women with heavy makeup sitting on the sofa next to it.
Tan Wenbin slapped his forehead: "Oh, it's meat."
The implication is that Brother Xiaoyuan can change his place.
However, this building is surrounded by bungalows and shops, and the viewing angle is very poor.
Seeing that Li Zhuiyuan didn't speak, Tan Wenbin had no choice but to walk in. After some negotiation, he motioned for Li Zhuiyuan and Lin Shuyou to come in.
The three of them walked upstairs, followed by two technicians.
On the second floor are small cubicles.
Tan Wenbin: "Brother, sit here and wait for the brothers to finish."
Li Zhuiyuan sat down on a chair outside.
After Tan Wenbin whispered twice to Shuyou Lin, he and he walked into a room respectively. The two technicians also entered carrying small plastic baskets.
At first, it was a fairly regular massage, albeit a bit careless and sloppy.
When the technician was about to gradually tease the key parts, Tan Wenbin said helplessly:
"Forget it, I'm too tired and not interested. I'll give you the money and I'll take a nap."
Next door, Shuyou Lin, who encountered the same situation, shook his head and said:
"I can't."
"I don't believe it."
"I really can't."
"You believe me."
"No, no, no."
"Give yourself some confidence. Boys of your age usually have psychological problems and are fine."
"No, it's really not necessary."
"It's okay, I'll help you."
"No, I really don't want it anymore."
"Don't be afraid, sister understands you."
"You don't understand."
"Are you still Hina?"
"I……"
"When I give you a discount, it's like giving you a red envelope."
The technician in Tan Wenbin's room had already come out, and Li Zhuiyuan entered this cubicle.
There is a window inside, which just faces the acrobatic troupe.
Li Zhuiyuan took out the formation drawings he had drawn in advance from Tan Wenbin's mountaineering bag, and looked down at the ground, instructing Tan Wenbin and others on the specific layout positions and precautions after dark.
Tan Wenbin couldn't help but nod. These formations were arranged on the periphery and could attract opponents to come in and deal with them. If the situation changed and got out of control, they could also use their delay to evacuate.
There were a lot of formations, so Tan Wenbin began to plan the time he needed, and Li Zhuiyuan began to draw miniature formation diagrams for the performance studio on the spot.
After everything was planned, Shuyou Lin opened the door and walked in.
Tan Wenbin smiled and said: "Oh, it's been long enough."
Lin Shuyou blushed with embarrassment and said, "I didn't do anything. It was just that my aunt was too enthusiastic, so I finally persuaded her to leave."
Tan Wenbin: "Auntie has professional ethics."
It's right next door, separated by wooden boards, and the conversation can be heard clearly.
That is to say, he is busy with his work. If it were normal, Tan Wenbin would really make a fuss: "Ayou, just follow my sister."
Li Zhuiyuan handed another set of formation diagrams to Lin Shuyou and asked, "Can you understand it?"
Shuyou Lin nodded, then shook his head: "I know it, but I don't know how to use it."
There is a foundation, but only a foundation.
"It's enough to get to know each other. Follow the instructions above and wait until nightfall to plant the flag."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Zhuiyuan arranged for Tan Wenbin to arrange on the outside, while Shuyou Lin needed to arrange on the inner circle. After all, Shuyou Lin was very skilled and would not easily alert others.
It is getting late, the performance booth has been set up, and the number of people on the road is gradually becoming less and less.
Tan Wenbin couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the business of this store is not good. No one has asked us to vacate the room for so long."
Waiting until late at night, it was basically quiet outside, and the people in the acrobatic troupe went back to their tents or cars to rest.
The time is ripe to start taking action.
The three of them left the cubicle and went downstairs, only to find that it was dark downstairs, the glass door was locked, and the rolling shutter door was down.
It turned out that they had already got off work.
I completely forgot or didn't expect that there would be guests in the cubicle on the second floor who were resting so late and hadn't left yet, so I didn't even check.
Breaking the door would cause a commotion, so the three of them had to go back to the second floor and climb out through the window.
Tan Wenbin had to use both hands and feet to be careful. Lin Shuyou first jumped up and put down his schoolbag and Tan Wenbin's hiking bag, then jumped up to the second floor and followed Li Zhuiyuan.
We have already gone up and down here twice, and Tan Wenbin is still using his feet to test whether the rack on the telephone pole is strong.
After he came down, the three of them acted separately.
Li Zhuiyuan hid under a slope relatively close to the acrobatic troupe, and was responsible for observing the movement inside. However, he did not need to look up, he only needed to listen with his ears.
Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou each brought a pack of formation flags of different sizes and styles and began to decorate them.
Lin Shuyou, who arranged the inner circle and it was more difficult, completed the task almost at the same time as Tan Wenbin and returned to the slope.
Both of them were slightly out of breath, and Li Zhuiyuan gave them some time to rest.
Just when he thought it was almost time to take action, Li Zhuiyuan heard a "rustling" sound in his ears.
The young man slowly raised his head and looked forward.
In the distance, an old woman holding two white lanterns in both hands was walking towards here step by step.
Her shoes are a bit like clogs, they are very hard and make a lot of noise when walking.
Moreover, as the distance gradually approached, the height of her legs seemed to be gradually lengthening. Although she was not on stilts, it showed a strange heightening effect.
The light of the white lantern illuminated the old woman's face pale.
"Hehehehehe..."
A sinister smile came from her, and then she began to call:
"You are really naughty. If you don't go to sleep peacefully at night, you have to ask your mother-in-law to come find you."
