Chapter 37 juggle

You Guang I love watching "Conjuring". They travel all over the world, so the tricks are the same everywhere.In order to collect money, there must be two necessary things: a black bear and a small child. The black bear was so hungry that he almost lost the strength to move.Naturally, this cannot make it strong, because once it is strong, it cannot be controlled.Now he is half-dead, but he still has to put an iron ring through his nose, and then use a rope to hold him in a play.Sometimes I would be given something to eat, which was a small piece of steamed bun with blisters, but I would hold the spoon high and ask it to stand up, stretch its head and open its mouth. .

No one in China has mentioned the origin of this bear.According to the investigation of Westerners, it is said that they were caught from the mountains when they were young; the big ones cannot be used, because when they are big, they can't change their wildness.But even though they are small, they still need to be "trained". The methods of this "training" are "beating" and "starvation"; and later, they die due to abuse.I think this is true. When we saw it was still alive and acting, it was so deflated that it didn't even have a bear's breath. In some places, it was even called "a bear", and it was so contemptuous.

Children also have to endure hardships in the scene, or adults step on their stomachs, or twist their hands, and they will appear very painful, embarrassed, and stressed, and they need to be rescued by the spectators.Six, five, four more, three... and the juggler collected some more money. Naturally, he has also trained before. This pain is faked and colluded with adults, but it does not hinder making money. In the afternoon, the gong was knocked to start the show, so that at night, when the show ended, the spectators dispersed, some of them had spent money, and some had not spent their money at all.

Whenever it ends, I leave while thinking: There are two kinds of money-making guys, one is to be tortured to death, and then find a young one; To change the same trick. Things are so simple, it seems boring when you think about it.Yet I still watch it often.What else do you want me to see, gentlemen? October 1st.
