The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

There are actually Han people coming here to make a living.

There were several performers in the group, as well as guns and machetes.

A horse-drawn cart came.There were two men and one woman in the car, and two boxes. Sitting on the box was a monkey dressed in red and green.The tiles of the car rolled over the road paved with blue bricks, making a "ding-dong-dong-dong-dong" sound.When the carriage arrived at the corner of the square, the carriage stopped. The class leader jumped out of the car and said to the two apprentices. "Put it down here!"

The male apprentice agreed, opened the box and took out the gong, which was used to summon the crowd. He walked around the venue and beat the gong in small steps. The monkeys followed the sound of the gong and turned somersaults one by one.The sound of the gong attracted many spectators.

The leader of this class, whose surname is Qian, is in his 30s and has an upper-middle build.Seeing that there were many people in the audience, he turned around and opened a box. A furry, fleshy, and sneaky monster popped out of the box.

Like a monkey.

"Blow the gong to add to the fun!" The young apprentice immediately beat the gong rhythmically.With the clang of the gong, the monster first made a fist, then punched and kicked, and even punched.

"This thing is simply more spiritual than a human being. Look at its small hands, which are similar to those of a human being. Could it be that it turned into a human being?"

The squad leader whistled softly, and the monster immediately returned to his side, and the crowd roared again.Some people curled their lips and said, "I'm talking about the boss, what on earth is this?"

Holding his fists with both hands, he said very proudly: "This thing comes from the Heavenly Palace, the Divine Ape. Three years ago, the villain was performing in Nanyang and got this treasure. As the saying goes, an expert can see the door, and an outsider can see the excitement. If nothing else, this world alone Rare and strange, we have come to the treasure land to open your eyes and relieve your boredom."

There are also Han people here.

There are many Han people doing business.

Things are rare.

Although the journey is a bit longer, the benefits of doing business are also high.

The crowd murmured, and many people said he was talking nonsense.

Bantou Qian opened a box and took out two steel knives. He threw one of them to the male apprentice and said, "Go and practice some moves with the fortune-teller to open the eyes of the elders!" Then he handed the other knife to the male apprentice. The man said to the ape: "Go, what will happen if you don't work hard? I'll skin you!"

The man-ape nodded, raised the steel knife, somersaulted five steps away, knelt in the "Golden Pheasant Independence" pose, and slashed at his opponent with the knife.The apprentice didn't hesitate, he raised his sword to meet him, the blades collided with each other, and sparks flew everywhere, making a "ding-ding" impact sound.Although this man-ape is small in stature, he is proficient in swordsmanship, has nimble steps, leaps and bounds, and moves forward and backward in a flash, no less than that famous master and apprentice.

The crowd burst into applause and cheers.Many people took out their money and threw it into the field without hesitation.

We arrived near Xiangzi's mining area and knew that the miners here had some money.

And there are many Han Chinese.

There are also many Han people who come to do business.

Some open pharmacies, some open restaurants, and some open hotels.

There is a shopkeeper who sells medicinal materials.There were two reasons why he squeezed in so hard: First, the hometown sentiment made him want to see the things in his hometown in a foreign land.Furthermore, shopkeeper Wang is highly skilled in martial arts and is proficient in several boxing techniques and weapons. He heard that the monkeys can perform sword skills and found it very novel, so he squeezed in to watch the fun.

The atmosphere on the field has reached a fever pitch.After practicing swordsmanship, the man-ape performed calligraphy at the invitation of the audience.Since ancient times, except for humans, who has ever seen animals write?Everyone was amazed and waiting to see.

The class leader ordered the apprentice to set up a large stone slab, took a stone pen and handed it to the ape.The orangutan took the stone pen, turned around, gave the audience a fist, stretched out his furry little hand, and wrote the word "reward" squarely on the stone slab.As soon as the words were finished, the crowd burst into thunderous applause, and people couldn't help but reach for their pockets.

After collecting the reward money, people still have fun.Bantou Qian would never let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and said again: "Dear fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, my ape is a god-given creature. It can predict bad luck and know people's fortunes. Any gentleman may wish to give it a try..."

As soon as Bantou Qian finished speaking, a man who looked like a gentleman came into the scene: "I'm going to ask the ape to divine the bad luck in life for me." Bantou Qian had a smile on his face, took the money, and immediately took it from the box. Get out a stack of rough paper and a pen.At this time, the little apprentice had already held the ink cartridge.Bantou Qian said: "Zhucai, this man wants to make a divination, so be careful!"

After a long day of tossing, the orangutan was probably tired and was reluctant to take over the writing. Qian Zhangban had his own way. He pulled out a leather whip from his waist, waved it in his hand and said: "Don't you dare not do your best!"

When the orangutan saw the whip, he immediately trembled all over. He hurriedly took the brush, dipped it in ink tremblingly, and drew the word "吉" on the paper.The gentleman held the paper in his hand and looked at it for a long time, feeling very unhappy.

Immediately afterwards, many people entered the venue to ask for words, and all they received were satisfied.

But at this time, the monkey screamed ah ah ah ah.

The class leader was also surprised by the sudden situation and was a little at a loss for the moment.But he was a veteran after all. Suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered something. He pulled down the whip from his waist, "snapped", and whipped it hard towards the orangutan.The orangutan let go of his hand and rolled around in pain.

This kind of thing happens all the time. Many circuses have been revealed to have abused animals for many years, training them to perform difficult movements to please the audience, living in extremely poor living conditions, and depriving them of their lifelong freedom.

It is only when people have needs that there is business.

When you go to the zoo to see animals, you definitely don’t like to see them motionless.If an animal performs a certain action in line with its nature and usually does it or even likes to do it, then training the animal to follow instructions and perform this action is not considered cruelty. For example, dolphins jump out of the water and birds fly from one branch to another. .If the action is a bit difficult for the animal but it can be done without feeling pain, it does not count. For example, a bear walking upright or a sea lion sitting on a stage and applauding do not count.I don’t think there is any need to ban such animal performances. This kind of performance attracts many tourists to the zoo. People like it and learn about the animals’ habits. The zoo can make money and take better care of the animals.

But abuse is definitely not okay.

Some actions go against the nature of animals, cause pain or fear to the animals, or make it difficult to enforce obedience, such as goats walking on a tightrope or giant insects crawling through fire hoops. That is abuse.

No matter now or in the future, we will always change the soup without changing the medicine.

Like a circus lion, a lion with dull eyes, very little hair on its tail, and whip wounds all over its body.The white tiger locked up next door turned into a yellow tiger, skinny and silent.The iron rice bowl placed in front of each animal's cage was even filled with rice porridge.No longer surprised by this rare species, but instead felt a sense of heaviness.

The king of beasts and the king of the forest that appears in the animal world is not like this.Even if he eats his hair and drinks his blood, his bloody stool will become his natural bloody nature, and he will have the aura of a king.In the gaps between the ravines in the forest on the grassland, there are sharp claws during the day and ferocious eyes at night.But now, they are just like two big cats in a cage with no freedom.I forgot that wild beasts can eat people, and I didn’t even worry about the danger to the people who served them. However, I was angry that the big cat in the grassland had lost its ability to bite people after eating rice.The big bug has no canine teeth.

The giant insect can seriously injure or even kill a person with just its front teeth.

It's not necessary to have canine teeth to kill people. It would be faster to kill someone with canine teeth.

In a circus, it is impossible to give beef to big insects. They are basically chicken skeletons.

Giving some chicken breasts is considered a blessing from the ancestors, but this chicken skeleton must be meat that has been frozen for several years.

An industry of animal trainers was created.

Every animal has several instincts.The first is timidity and fear, practicing self-defense or evasion, the second is hunger and seeking food, and the third is estrus and seeking a mate.Animal trainers use their first two instincts and use appropriate methods to train them.

People often say that taming an animal requires a whip in your hand and food in your pocket.Using whips exploits their fear instinct, and using food satisfies their desire for food.With the help of whips and food, it is possible for actors to make animals obey commands and let them learn "skills" step by step.

The purpose of using a whip is just to make them obedient; not to be naughty or hurt others.In order to make animals obey the training of actors, the most important thing is to get closer to them, increase the feelings between animals and people, relieve their wariness, and gain trust. Only in this way can it be possible to train them.

Bond with animals.This requires a longer process.Generally speaking, the wild nature of young animals is easier to tame, they are more receptive and learn faster.At first, the animal trainers often gave the animals food and water to make them less wary.Slowly, animals and humans began to behave in a similar way.At this time, the actor can touch their heads outside the cage, wipe their bodies with a warm towel, and comb their hair.Make them feel comfortable and friendly.Only when the animal trainer is sure that they do not mean to harm people can they enter the cage to feed, clean, and do activities with them.

Animals have no thinking ability, and even the smartest animals cannot understand human language.Taming them, the principle of conditioned reflexes.Animal taming actors use fixed postures, tone of voice, music, and movements to direct the animals to perform different actions.If you do it right, give me something to eat.Repeated practice in this way will cause them to develop conditioned reflexes. As long as they see a certain signal from the animal trainer, they will start to perform fixed actions. If they do well, they will receive a certain "reward".

To train a horse to dance, use a whip to direct while playing music with a distinctive rhythm. Through repeated training, the whip and music are linked in the horse's mind.As time goes by, the whip becomes unnecessary.As soon as this kind of music is played, a conditioned reflex will immediately occur in the horse's mind, and the horse will dance gracefully to the rhythm of the music.

Animal taming actors must be bold, careful, brave and determined.Animals have simple minds, and an action needs to be practiced repeatedly many times before it can be remembered.This should not be done in a hurry, let them get used to these actions slowly.

The subjects of the performances are just that, crawling through a fire ring, the lion and the insect making a bow, the goat walking on a tightrope, and the monkey trick. Monkey trick is a technical job that ordinary people cannot do.

The monkey trick looks very scary. One moment the monkey is trying to chop someone with a kitchen knife, and the next moment the monkey is trying to strangle the leader to death with a rope.

In fact, these seemingly vicious performances were all pre-trained, and the cooperation between humans and monkeys looked particularly funny. The audience laughed every time they watched the monkey show.

Large beasts have a certain resistance to fire, but they are not that afraid of fire. Most of the animals in the circus have been trained since childhood, and some have been trained since they were semi-adults.

Training since childhood has made them no longer afraid of fire. Many people are curious whether circuses beat animals.

In fact, you definitely have to beat it, because if you don't beat it, the animal will not obey at all. But if you beat it, it won't be beaten like everyone thinks. Generally speaking, when training animals, you let the big insect lion practice designated actions.

For example, let's say how to practice the movement of a big insect drilling into a fire ring. It will definitely be difficult to train with a big insect, so you have to use a small one.

When the little bug was young, he tied a rope around his neck and made a big fire ring in front of him.

The animal trainer pulls the big insect in front of the fire ring, then scolds it, whips the ground, and threatens the big bug to jump over. If the big bug doesn't jump, he will beat it with a whip. Usually he will not beat it to death. If the big bug jumps over, it will be eaten. piece of meat.

Over time, the big insects will understand that if they jump through the fire hoops, they will get meat to eat. In the future, if the big bugs want to eat meat, they will jump through the fire hoops.

Other trainings are similar. They all use threats and rewards to induce the insects to act. Mere beatings and threats are of little use and will only make the animals hate you.

This little big bug has a very bad character. It's so bad that as long as someone comes near its cage, it will bite the cage like crazy. It can't be trained at all. Even if the trainer beat it to death with a whip, it won't obey.

This big insect was kept in a small cage every day. The cage was so small that it couldn't even lie down, so it could only bend its body and poke out in it.

The animal trainer hated this big insect very much and would beat it whenever it happened.

The animal trainer liked to drink some wine, so he found a longer crowbar, stretched it into the gap in the cage, and used the crowbar to stab the big insect crazily for a long time.

He stabbed the big insect until it howled, bit the cage crazily, and banged its head against the cage, but there was nothing it could do.

Pick up stones, sit next to the cage if you have nothing to do, throw stones into the cage, and hit the big insect on the head.

The circus' methods are somewhat the same as those of a driver.

People are PUAs.

Taking the initiative and control.

He is good at belittling and attacking the other party, destroying the other party's self-confidence and making the other party feel inferior.Make the other person feel a strong sense of guilt and guilt.

He is good at cold wars as well as hot wars. Sometimes he is irritable and can explode at the slightest moment, but sometimes he is extremely indifferent and has amazing tolerance.

Human nature is often despicable, and human nature is inherently evil. Friendships obtained with money instead of relying on greatness and noble spirit are bought, but not reliable.In times of need, it cannot be relied upon.

People are less scrupulous about offending someone they love than someone they fear, because love is maintained by the bond of kindness.However, because human nature is bad, people will cut off this tie at any time, as long as it is beneficial to themselves.But fear is maintained because of the fear of punishment that will never give up.
