Dressed in all black, boss, her vest can’t cover it up

The lights gathered again, the surroundings darkened, and a huge beam of light enveloped the circus performers and "horses".

All the attention of the audience was focused on the two of them.

The circus performer proudly dismounted from his horse, as if he had just completed a difficult and great feat. He raised his arms high, as if he was enjoying the cheers of the audience.

However, there was dead silence in the audience.

The horse on the stage, like the lion in the corner, is played by a human being. The whole "Horse" is exposed to the spotlight and is therefore easier to see than the "Lion".

The horse actor wore a tan leather suit to simulate the horse's skin.

From the neck to the tail, this leather sheath is completely replaced by makeup. The thick oil painting colors paint a long horse face on the actor's face, with a brown background and a pale center. If you look closely, it is very scary.

Lin Qingqing could feel Ye Xiaolu trembling next to her.

Lin Qingqing was about to comfort Ye Xiaolu when she heard Fu Shiqing ask: "What did you find in the gift box just now?"

Speaking of gifts, Lin Qingqing took out the magician's five-pointed star she chose when buying tickets from her jacket pocket, "This is the one in the gift box."

"A five-pointed star?" Fu Shiqing was not surprised, "It couldn't be a ball and a five-pointed star, right?"

Lin Qingqing said "hmm" to indicate that he was right, "Where's the ball you got? Let me take a look."

Lin Qingqing had never touched the balls given in the ticket gifts. She wanted to compare whether there was any difference between the balls given in the ticket gifts and the balls given in the popcorn gifts.

Fu Shiqing opened the pocket of his coat and said, "It's inside."

The ball was not allowed to be taken out in the auditorium, so Lin Qingqing could only put her hand into Fu Shiqing's jacket pocket.

"The material is the same."

Withdrawing her hand, Lin Qingqing's heartbeat was a little fast.

On the stage, horses dressed as people were still crawling around, and in the audience, two shadows were approaching the guests.

"Check tickets."

Two clown masks wearing guard clothes stood in front of Lin Qingqing, blocking Lin Qingqing's sight.

According to the bulletin board rules, ticket checking staff may appear at any time. When encountering ticket checking staff, they must show their presence.

According to the rules of the program, when the ticket checking staff appears, they must not only show it, but also keep the number of seats and the number of votes consistent.

Lin Qingqing suddenly had a bold idea.

Taking advantage of the time to check the tickets, Lin Qingqing turned her head back and saw that the lion in the corner had returned.

The clown selling popcorn walked around the self-service area, lowering his head from time to time, as if he was sorting something on the table.

After the popcorn clown left, Lin Qingqing saw a plate of desserts of several colors in the buffet area.

Colorful fruit pie?

The third rule of the program mentioned colorful fruit pie.

[3. The circus provides free snacks and drinks to every guest, but please note that the circus does not provide colorful fruit pies. If you see colorful fruit pies in the self-service area, please stay away immediately and tell the clown who takes you into the circus and he will solve it. 】

According to the rules, the colorful fruit pie should not be eaten.

But often, the "can't" in the rules can bring key clues to the game.

Lin Qingqing looked around and saw that the leading clown was not there.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, as soon as the equestrian show ended, Lin Qingqing immediately ran to the self-service area and found the plate of dessert.

Sure enough, there was a note under the tray, which said "Colorful Fruit Pie". Lin Qingqing took out the note and found two lines on the back.

1. They are not real clowns

2. Things that can help us are on the other side of the tent

The popcorn clown saw Lin Qingqing, walked towards her happily, and made a "please" gesture to the plate of "seven-color fruit pie", his eyes full of expectation.

The rules of the bulletin board say that food recommended by the clown can be eaten for free.

The program rules say that you should stay away when you see colorful fruit pies.

When the popcorn clown recommended fruit pie to Lin Qingqing, the lion in the corner also raised his head, seemingly waiting for Lin Qingqing's choice.

[So is this thing edible or not? 】

[I think it’s better not to eat it. The rules on the bulletin board only say “you are welcome to enjoy it for free” rather than that it is necessary to eat it, so it should be okay not to eat it]

[Sister Qing, please stay away from the colorful fruit pie. The clown in the security uniform has seen you and is coming towards you! 】

Lin Qingqing plans to eat colorful fruit pie.

On the note left for her by the clown in front of her, the word used to express the address was "we", indicating that at least for the moment, the guest and the "real" clown were in the same camp.

The "real" clown wanted her to eat colorful fruit pie, and the "fake" clown wanted her to stay away from colorful fruit pie. Lin Qingqing chose to believe in the "real" clown.

In the self-service area, there is a note on the table under each snack, with the name of the snack written on it.

Lin Qingqing tore off the note with "Strawberry Cake" written on the side and stuck it under the colorful fruit pie.

The clown in security uniform approached Lin Qingqing. When he saw the note "Strawberry Cake" stuck under the colorful fruit pie, he said nothing and instead moved the real strawberry cake without the note.

After leaving for a moment, Lin Qingqing suddenly felt something interesting in her heart.

In the circus, it doesn't matter what something really is, what matters is whether it has certain characteristics, or is defined as something.

Just like the colorful fruit pie, when there is a note of strawberry cake underneath it, to the circus, it has become a strawberry cake.

Under the watchful eye of the "real" clown selling popcorn, Lin Qingqing ate a piece of colorful fruit pie.

"True" the clown's smile suddenly brightened, and his eyes seemed to burst with radiant light.

"Dang Dang Dang" the clown tapped the piece of paper on the table with "Strawberry Cake" written on it, and then pointed to the stage.

One minute was up, and before Lin Qingqing could return to her seat, the lion in the corner stared at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing found the magician's five-pointed star from the self-service area, took two of them, and returned to her seat.

This show is a circus bear. The bear is also played by a human.

Unlike the horses in the previous show, the bears in this show are covered in thick leather sheaths.

The support staff pushed several fire rings onto the stage, and the leather bear jumped over each fire ring stiffly and clumsily.

More than once, the flames on the fire ring caught the leather cover, and a strange burning smell filled the tent.

The time is gradually passing halfway, and there is still an hour left before the circus closes at eight o'clock in the evening.

Can't wait any longer.

"The clown said that the things on the back of the stage will help us." Lin Qingqing handed the clown's "Colorful Fruit Pie" note to Fu Shiqing and lowered her voice.

"During the break after this, I want to take a look outside the tent. If any clown checking tickets comes, please help me cover it."
