It was February, and the sunset spread from the west to the whole world. The silent red was like a layer of paint on an oil painting, changing the color of all the pedestrians.
The passersby were all smiling.
Today was the third day of the new year, and it was a good time to visit the temple fair. In a small city like Luoyang City, there were six to seven places that held the temple fair.
"Lü Shu, I want to eat tanghulu, the kind with walnuts in it." A young girl tugged at the sleeves of the young man in front of her. Her little hand was already pointing at the tanghulu cart by the roadside. Through the glass window, one could see the crystal clear tanghulu inside.
The young girl was very young, probably only about 10 years old. She was wearing a clean white down jacket that was spotless.
The 17-year-old young man named Lü Shu looked at the tanghulu cart with a pained expression. Then, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to the young girl, "Lü Xiaoyu! We already agreed when we bought the down jacket for you. If you want to buy this down jacket, you'll have to live frugally in the future. Otherwise, I won't even have enough money to pay for my third year of high school next semester! "
"Lü Shu, you've changed! You just told me yesterday that it would be more than enough to pay for my third year of high school! "Lü Xiaoyu said calmly.
Lü Shu's face immediately darkened. "Who did you learn this from? Can you stop watching soap operas?!"
Then, he thought about it again and sighed. He walked toward the tanghulu cart and asked, "Boss, how much is this one with walnuts?"
"Five yuan. I'll buy one for my sister," the boss said with a smile. The boss said with a smile. He had already figured out who was the one who wanted to eat the candied haws.
Five yuan … That's really f * cking expensive. Lü Shu took out a crumpled ten yuan note and handed it to the boss. Then, the boss gave him five yuan.
He got the tanghulu. There were seven fruits with walnuts in it. When Lü Shu handed it to Lü Xiaoyu, Lü Xiaoyu said, "I'll eat five and leave two for you!"
Lü Shu was happy. He touched Lü Xiaoyu's head. "Just one will do."
The young girl's height only reached Lü Shu's waist. Lü Shu could just touch her head with his hand.
"Okay." Lü Xiaoyu didn't stand on ceremony. His fair face and red lips made Lü Xiaoyu look like a porcelain doll in the winter.
At this time, a few young people walked past them and were still happily discussing the novel things. "Did you guys see the news on the Internet yesterday? It said that an old man's soul could be seen before he died. In the end, this news was instantly deleted again."
Lv Shu stared at Lu Xiaoyu, who was munching on the candied haws. He muttered to himself, "Recently, there have been more and more news about supernatural incidents. A while ago, there were even news about a child's hand emitting blue light and a burly man lifting a 2000-kilogram object with his bare hands."
It was unknown whether it was fake news or not, but after the news was deleted, these people disappeared without a trace.
There were also some videos. For example, wherever someone walked, the street lights would flicker. It looked quite scary.
There was also a video of an auntie suddenly disappearing into thin air.
There was also a video shot from a bystander's point of view. It said that someone was breathing clouds and mist at the top of a mountain.
What was more consistent was that all of these videos disappeared in the end.
Lü Shu looked at the sky. He had a feeling that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it was.
Was there really such a magical thing in the world? But it couldn't be that these things only appeared after he had lived for 17 years, right? What was going on?
Why did it feel like life was going astray?
"Let's go and watch the acrobatics." Lü Shu took out the ticket from his pocket and glanced at it. "There are 20 minutes left. It is said that this year's temple fair has specially invited an acrobatic troupe. There will be a flame show."
At this time, Lü Xiaoyu had already finished eating six candied haws. He handed the skewer and the remaining candied haws to Lü Shu with satisfaction. "Delicious!"
"Foodie," Lü Shu muttered.
…
This year's acrobatics were indeed unique. It looked a little like magic. The temple fair's organizers set up a huge stage. There was a sea of people below. Only then did Lü Shu feel a little festive.
At the beginning, this acrobatics was not very interesting. It was just tricks like carrying a large vat and throwing knives.
However, when it came to the finale, it was a little different. It was a young man performing on the stage. The moment the performance started, his whole body suddenly ignited with flames.
Lv Shu was shocked. Oh my god, is it really okay to perform like this? Won't he die?
"Lü Shu, Lü Shu, let me ride on your neck and watch," Lü Xiaoyu shouted.
Lü Shu was helpless. "I can't lift you."
Lü Shu looked a little thin, and his face was a little abnormally pale. It was not that he had just been sick, but his body had been weak since he was a child. He had secretly bought the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill and ate it for a while. In the end, there was no obvious effect after eating the pill.
He was still very weak …
At least this proved that his weakness was not due to his kidneys. It was also a kind of comfort … This was how Lü Shu comforted himself.
Lü Shu squeezed forward with Lü Xiaoyu. When they stood closer, they could see it clearly.
At this moment, the performer's flames on the stage disappeared in an instant. It was as if he could control them at will.
Therefore, Lü Shu felt that this year's temple fair ticket was definitely worth 20 yuan. He could watch acrobatics and magic!
The person on the stage sometimes had flames on his body, and sometimes not. The flames were red and mixed with a trace of blue. It was very gorgeous.
At the end of the performance, the flame in the person's hand suddenly left his hand and smashed toward the audience like a comet. However, when it was about to reach the audience, it disappeared again.
All the audience applauded and cheered. The performer bowed and left the stage.
Only one person was silent. The gorgeous flame was actually the closest to Lü Shu. When the fireball approached, Lü Shu suddenly felt a throb in his heart. That feeling … was like meeting again after a long time …
What was going on? Lü Shu was a little confused. This feeling was so real that he could not doubt it.
"Lü Shu, Lü Shu, I want to learn this. Take me to him to learn acrobatics!" Lü Xiaoyu dragged Lü Shu and ran backstage.
"You're a little girl. Why are you learning acrobatics? This is his unique skill. It would be strange if he would teach it to you. Moreover, we don't have money to pay for his tuition!" Lü Shu said helplessly. However, he also wanted to see the performer. If possible, he wanted to see the performer perform again. Lü Shu wanted to see what was going on with him just now.
However, when he ran backstage with Lü Xiaoyu, he happened to see four or five people in black windbreakers raise their hands and shoot. He saw a small syringe-like object pierce the neck of the flaming performer. In less than two seconds, the performer fell to the ground and stopped moving.
No one from the acrobatics class dared to speak. The temperament of this group of people was too cold. The bodies hidden under the black windbreakers seemed to have a huge deterrent force.
Lü Shu was dumbfounded. What's going on?! This doesn't seem right!
But Lü Xiaoyu didn't care so much. "What right do you have to knock him out!"
For Lv Shu and the others, it would be a miracle if a normal person did not wet his pants in the face of such a strange situation. However, Lu Xiaoyu, the little foodie, was usually very stubborn. When she saw the person whom she wanted to learn from lying on the ground, she immediately became unhappy.
Lü Shu's face turned green. He wanted to pull Lü Xiaoyu and run away on the spot. However, someone in the black windbreaker said calmly, "This temple fair did not apply for fire safety approval for the flaming performance. He violated the fire safety regulations, so we have to take him back for investigation."
As if I'd believe you! Lü Shu didn't believe their words at all. Even if it was a fire safety violation, shouldn't it be the temple fair's organizer?
Moreover, who would use something like an anesthetic needle to knock someone out?
Something was wrong! Something was very wrong!
