demons lurk beside you

Just after the magic show ended, several acrobatic performers appeared behind them again, which was the end of tonight's performance.

After Lin Xin and the others finished watching the performance, they clapped their hands again.This time, Leng Yu also clapped along with the crowd. It wasn't until the host appeared again and gave a few words of thanks for his support that the audience stood up from their chairs, left the park one after another, and walked towards home.

Leng Yu took Lin Xin's hand and looked around, but didn't see his nephew Xiao Jun. It wasn't until they walked out of the park that they saw him leaving from a distance.

"Xiaojun is right in front, let's go there." Leng Yu said, and then led Lin Xin to stride over.

Unexpectedly, when he was [-] meters away from Xiao Jun, he suddenly stopped, and then vaguely heard him say something to his friend: "You guys go back first."

Leng Yu frowned, not knowing what tricks he was going to play, and seemed unwilling to go home right away, so she walked up to him and patted him on the back, which made him jump up in fright.

When Xiaojun turned around and saw that it was his aunt who was patting him, he made a fuss and shouted: "Oh! Auntie, if you want to scare me to death, it's not like this. Look, my heart is about to jump out of fear. !"

Looking at his exaggerated actions, Leng Yu revealed coldness in his brows and eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't need to be so exaggerated. Let's go home!"

"Uh..." Seeing his aunt's expression, Xiaojun swallowed, then stretched out his hand and scratched his head, then said falteringly: "Ah...Auntie, I...I still have something to do, you guys. You and Sister Lin go back first, I will go back after I deal with some matters."

"It's so late, what else do you need?" When Leng Yu saw this expression on his face, she became suspicious and couldn't help asking.

"Auntie, it's a trivial matter anyway, you go back first, I'll be home in a while." Xiao Jun said, but refused to reveal what he wanted to do.

Leng Yu knew that although Xiao Jun was naughty, he would never lie to them, so he calmed down and said, "Your mother should be worried if you don't go home again. Let's go back with us."

"Auntie, I'll take care of something first..." Xiaojun said, but he never said what it was.

"Okay, you go and deal with it, we'll wait for you here, and give you 5 minutes." Leng Yu still refused, and said coldly.Although she often quarreled and fought wits with her nephew, she still cared about his safety.

"Auntie, you go back first. I'm really just dealing with some trivial matters, so don't wait for me." Xiaojun still begged bitterly, hoping that Leng Yu would ignore his affairs.

"Xiaojun, do you want to find someone backstage?" Leng Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked.

However, just because of her words, Xiaojun was stunned. He murmured, "Auntie, why are you so scary? Why did you get it right in your guess?"

"Let's go, we'll go with you, who do you want?" Leng Yu said, then took Lin Xin's hand, walked past Xiaojun, and walked to the backstage of the stage.

Seeing Leng Yu walking away, Xiao Jun felt helpless, and followed their footsteps.

"Auntie, I'm looking for my classmate Xiao Kai. He's working here as a temporary worker, and he was the performer of the last magic show just now." Xiaojun said, but he didn't say what he was thinking when he was just watching the show.

"Well, it's good to find him." Leng Yu said.

There seemed to be a mystery in her words, and after hearing this, Lin Xin looked at her curiously.

Sensing Lin Xin's eyes, Leng Yu stretched out his hand and lightly drew a small circle on her palm, indicating that he would tell her what he thought in a while.

Xiaojun didn't understand the meaning of Leng Yu's words, he followed Leng Yu and slowly touched the backstage.

However, just as they approached the backstage, Xiao Kai just appeared.When he saw Xiaojun, he ran over quickly and asked, "Xiaojun, why are you here? Are you waiting for me on purpose? Haha!"

"Fuck you! Who said I'm waiting for you?" Xiaojun said angrily.

"You didn't wait for me, so what are you doing here?" Xiao Kai asked with a smile on his face.

Xiao Jun glanced at Leng Yu, then at Xiao Kai, then pulled him aside, stretched out his hands to touch and look at him, and after looking up and down for a while, he said to him: "When can you go home?"

"Me? I haven't come home so soon. I'm waiting for the boss, and I'll get paid soon." Xiao Kai glanced at the backstage and said to Xiaojun.

"Well, I see. If you get home, please give me a message." Xiao Jun patted Xiao Kai on the shoulder, then turned and left.

"Xiaojun, I feel like you have become my mother, hahaha!" Xiaokai laughed at him behind him, saw Xiaojun turned his head and made a fist gesture, then pointed to the backstage, and shouted again: " I'll go there first, and I'll go home after receiving my salary!"

After hearing this, Xiao Jun didn't agree to him, walked up to Leng Yu's side, and said, "Auntie, let's go."

Leng Yu watched coldly from the sidelines, guessing Xiaojun's thoughts and his actions just now, but didn't poke him, just nodded and said "hmm".

The 3 people followed the others and walked home slowly. In an instant, the originally noisy park became extremely quiet at this moment. Only the backstage staff and the rest of the performers were packing their things and preparing to go back to the hotel.

After Xiaojun and others arrived at the door, Leng Yu said to him: "You go in first, I still have something to say to your sister Lin."

"Okay, I'll go back first." After Xiaojun agreed, he turned his head and opened the door and walked into the house, unexpectedly not saying naughty words to Leng Yu.

"Leng Yu, Xiaojun is a little different tonight." Lin Xin glanced at Xiaojun who had closed the door, then raised her head and said to Leng Yu.

"Well, he has the same idea as me." Leng Yu said in a deep voice, there was something wrong in her tone.

"What happened?" Lin Xin asked curiously.

Yes, let alone Xiao Jun, even Leng Yu behaved abnormally tonight.

"Do you still remember what I just told you about the blood on the samurai sword?" Leng Yu asked, his eyes were icy cold.

"I remember, what's wrong? Could it be that Xiaojun also thought that bloodstain... was real bloodstain?" When Lin Xin said this, she was a little confused, and at the same time, a little fear rose in her heart.

"Yes. That's why he went to find Xiaokai on purpose just now to make sure that he was not injured before returning home. He and I have the same suspicion... oh... I hope we are overthinking." Leng Yu sighed and said.

"Leng Yu, that was just a magic show. Besides, Xiao Kai is fine, so it should be fine." Lin Xin said with a frown.

In fact, ever since Leng Yu said that, she felt something was wrong in her heart.However, Xiao Kai was fine, so the blood on the samurai knife must be fake, or was it the blood of an animal?

animal. .

"Leng Yu, do you suspect that they used animal blood?" Lin Xin asked.

"Yes, I'm so skeptical." Leng Yu said.

After a pause, she continued: "In order to make the performance look more realistic, maybe they really used animal blood, but..."

"That's cruel." Lin Xin said without waiting for Leng Yu to finish.

"Yes, that's cruel. Besides, the magic show lasted for two weeks, and I don't know how much blood should be used. I just hope it's not true. I'm just thinking about everything." Leng Yu nodded and said.

After the two talked for a while, seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye to each other, and then went back to their own homes.

So, is the blood on the samurai sword real?

In the background, a man wearing a clown costume removed his makeup, then came to another man, and then reached out to him and said, "Great magician, lend me some money."

The magician glanced at him, took a few puffs of his cigarette, stood up, walked to the other side, and continued to smoke, ignoring him at all.

Seeing him like this, the man playing the clown walked up to him again and said, "In the whole performance, only you earn more than us, I'm starving to death, lend me some money to eat. "

The man glanced at him and said disapprovingly, "Didn't Boss Peng distribute lunch boxes to everyone? Are you still full?"

Another acrobatic stuntman heard the voice of the two of them, and walked up to the clown actor with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhixian, just let Brother Jiang go, he There are also wives and children to raise. You, you take other people’s money to gamble, and every time you perform on stage, Boss Peng will give us lunch. The more you eat, the fatter you are, even your belly is exposed Come out, how can it be possible to starve to death? Hahaha!"

"You Zhong, you're wrong, my clown's belly is not for entertaining the public? If it wasn't for the audience, why would I eat so fat?" Chen Zhixian said angrily.

Then, he looked at the man named Brother Jiang again, and asked, "Brother Jiang, do you think I'm right?"

"Get out." Brother Jiang gave him a blank look, then walked back to the position just now, sat down, and continued to smoke without even looking at Chen Zhixian.

This Chen Zhixian is very good at gambling, always borrowing money from himself, and then not paying back the borrowed money.This time it was still the same, Brother Jiang really couldn't bear it, so this time he was determined no matter what, and didn't want to lend it to him.

Seeing him like this, Chen Zhixian walked up to Brother Jiang again, knelt down, and said to him suddenly: "Brother Jiang, your magic show just now won the applause of many audiences, and I think it will be the same in the next few days." Attract a large audience to watch. At that time, you will gradually become famous, should you consider participating in some larger and more decent magic shows? If you want to change the track, remember to let me know, I will follow you .We can only attract audiences in townships every time, and we don’t save much money. It’s time for a change.”

Brother Jiang glanced at Chen Zhixian, then threw the cigarette butt aside, sat up straight, stared at him firmly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you still want to leave?"

"Of course. If you think about it, I don't have enough money. I want to try to leave." Chen Zhixian said.

Brother Jiang just let out a "huh", and then said lightly: "My deceptive trick can at least deceive ignorant villagers. It may not be so easy if we go to a big city..."

After he finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair, then narrowed his eyes, and said nothing again.
