Chapter 88 The traveling circus

 After several bumps, they drove the carriage to the front of a lumber factory on the upper right side of Strawberry Town.

Song Hao felt his stomach was a little empty, so he simply took out the beef jerky in advance and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

The teeth make a clicking sound...

The buyer is a Spaniard who speaks with a broken English accent and seems to be mumbling some gossip.

As for his wife, she is a traditional-looking, hard-core Tsarist Russian woman:

She has a plump body, curly brown hair, and even the fat on her face will sway slightly when she walks...

At this second, Song Hao, who had swallowed the beef jerky, suddenly understood why the boss wanted to buy his tobacco quietly.

"Believe me, brother, if you meet such a grizzly wife, you will probably be even more worried than him."

Seeing the long-awaited seller finally appear, the boss who was suffering from complaints felt like seeing a savior.

He rushed out of the noisy room without even looking back.

He first glanced at the familiar John, indicating that his wife was hiding in the house and eavesdropping.

John also knew it well and was not in a hurry to trade goods.

Because this is what married men have to do, they have to be very secretive when buying cigarettes, for fear of being discovered by their partners.

After all, you can guess the content of the conversation:

"Cigarettes will kill you. Unless you want to destroy our family, then get out and smoke them!"

A few people stood outside the house and exchanged a few simple greetings. It was nothing more than gossip about whether the journey was smooth and had no reference value.

Purely releasing smoke bombs.

In a daze, I saw the boss who was stretching his muscles and deliberately lowered his voice: "Um...have you brought all the tobacco?"

He licked his dry lips.

As the boss, Song Hao glanced at the box on the carriage and smiled: "Everything is down there, according to the weight we agreed on before."

"Of course, if you're worried, I wouldn't mind going to the warehouse for you to check."

To be honest, he has never had the idea of ​​cutting corners to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After getting the answer he wanted, the boss finally breathed a sigh of relief and took out a wad of bills from his pocket.

There is a vague smell of sawdust...

Not only that, Song Hao actually discovered that behind the window, a figure was staring at him with vicious eyes.

Somewhat creepy.

So the cunning boss deliberately amplified his voice: "I want all your wood, and this is your reward."

"It's a pleasure to work with you, sir!"

Because the box was covered with a layer of gray cloth, the woman hiding in the house couldn't tell why.

Typical strict wife control.

The next second, looking at the banknotes handed over by the other party, Song Hao was a shrewd person, so he could naturally notice that there was a big difference in the amounts.

"Huh?"

In the end, before giving him a chance to frown, the lumber boss immediately took out a pastry and handed it to Sadie.

Claiming that this is a snack made by his wife, he wants everyone to try it:

"It's really troublesome for you to send it to me today. This is a little bit of my gratitude. I hope you can accept it."

Sadie was slightly stunned at first, but soon understood what the other party meant and simply thanked her.

Song Hao and John were responsible for helping transport the carriage into the warehouse, while the boss went to fool his wife, who was always suspicious.

"God, why does she always suspect that I am seducing other women?"

"What a madman..."

Anyway, I can’t take care of other people’s trivial matters.

After Song Hao unloaded the tobacco, he checked the inside of the cake and found that there was indeed a cloth bag hiding the remaining tobacco price.

The total adds up to more than two thousand US dollars, which is a considerable amount of income.

Sadie stretched, and the beautiful scenery of Strawberry Town fascinated her: "So what are we going to do now?"

Song Hao lit a cigarette: "What else can I do? Let's go to Valentine's for a drink first!"

The atmosphere was harmonious, and John followed behind them, looking very worried.

As a result, when they were returning home, they suddenly found that the square in Strawberry Town was crowded, and many residents came out to watch.

The adults were chatting about the topic, and the children were even more excited and kept mumbling:

"Mom, is that gentleman playing the clown?"

At this scene, even the three members of the Wildfire Gang couldn't help but rub their eyes and were stunned.

If I hadn't been mistaken, a large colorful shed had been temporarily built in the middle of the road.

There are some weird decorations and graffiti cardboard floating in the wind at the top.

At first glance, it looks like they are preparing to hold some kind of carnival...

"Boss, why don't you go and have a look?"

Listening to the cheers around her, Sadie's eyes shone and her tone of voice was very excited.

"I have no objection. There is nothing to do today anyway."

Thinking that everyone had finally come out, he couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart. Song Hao simply brought two people who were equally curious to come and watch.

This is a novel performance that can only be encountered.

After some observation, they were finally convinced that their bold idea was indeed a circus coming to Strawberry Town to perform.

"Damn, I have never seen such a scene. I really wish my dead father could come and see it."

In the chaotic sea of ​​people, a man with tears streaming down his face couldn't help crying.

It made Song Hao click his tongue.

I saw some quite dangerous beasts in iron cages, such as jackals and lions. They looked at least docile.

"But this fucking cougar that's eyeing him with covetousness obviously wants to eat people, right?"

Along with the roar of the puma, Song Hao uttered a curse word, causing others to laugh.

It is obvious that the daily life of these residents is very comfortable, and even a little unusually ignorant.

They are completely unaware of the several performers in front of them. They can easily cut themselves into pieces and turn them into delicious food in their stomachs.

Crazy, this world is really crazy!

"Dear Sir and Madam, it's not time for the performance yet. You can wait a moment."

At this time, a middle-aged gentleman wearing a top hat strolled out of the shed. The mustache at the corner of his mouth was very eye-catching.

It is worth mentioning that his black suit is very exquisite, and he may also be smeared with expensive perfume, but the smell is a bit irritating to his nose.

Some people suspect it is a fake.

After the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak, he continued: "Of course, it is not difficult to watch our Cirque du Soleil performance with your own eyes."

"For just three dollars, everyone can enjoy the world's top visual feast."

"So what are you waiting for?"

His words are undoubtedly able to arouse people's deepest desires.

The adults were still hesitant, thinking that the tickets were not cheap, but the children had absolutely no power to resist.

One by one, they clamored and begged their parents to realize their dream wish.

For a moment, the scene became extremely noisy, with crying everywhere.

Song Hao, who pretended to be casual, asked simply: "Is your circus preparing to perform on tour?"
