For Mrs. Ursula, housing was another hell besides food and food.

A long row of large bunk beds, underneath is a fire kang made of red clay, covered with straw mats, and a smell of sweat.

Brook sat at the door and leaned directly to the wall. It sounded a snoring sound before it.

The maid cleaned for more than half an hour, and then paved the blanket and sleeping bag, which felt barely lying down. Compared to the wild, the only advantage here is probably the well water.

It is cool and refreshing, with a little sweetness, and is refreshing.

In this way, the group lived.

A few days later, in early November, the wild circus mentioned by the shop guy finally arrived.

There was a warm drum sound outside the village, and caravans drove in and parked in the square at the entrance of the village.

The first group of clowns in strange clothes to get off the car were all disabled people with missing arms and legs, lame, blind and deaf, holding begging basins in their hands, and begging at the onlookers while performing funny shows.

This is the tradition of the wild circus, called "begging people open the way". It is said that the prototype of the wild circus is that a group of beggars who cannot survive gather together and depend on each other. At first, they just wandered around and begged to make a living. Later, in order to increase begging, they

The success rate was that some small animals were raised to perform to increase the fun, and later, some small handicrafts were made to sell.

Then, Liu Ying and the goddess joined this group.

After thousands of years of development, it has gradually evolved into today's wild circus, a diversified mobile business system integrating begging, circus performance, tarot card divination, herbal medicine, small handicraft sales, and skin and flesh business.

Ursula and his group stood in the crowd, Margarice staring wide, curious about everything new.

"Madam, Miss, good luck, give me some reward!"

An old blind man with a cane stretched out a pothole and begged for the two of them.

"Aren't you blind? How did you see us?" Margarice said strangely. Although there were no eyeballs in the other party's eyes, they accurately stated the identities of their mother and daughter.

"Haha..." The old blind man pointed at his nose, "I smelled the perfume of the noble lady."

"So amazing!" Margarice exclaimed, taking out three gold coins from the old housekeeper's purse and throwing them into the basin.

"Oh, three gold coins, kind young lady, the wandering god will bless you." The old blind man opened his hands, leaned down and gave a standard aristocratic gift.

According to the rules, after a beggar receives a reward, no other beggar can disturb the kind-hearted person who gives alms.

Following the beggar was a drum team, which turned out to be a group of monkeys riding goats. They played the trumpet and drum, and they looked very funny, which made the villagers laugh.

"roar!"

A sexy-dressed female animal trainer sat on the back of a lion, waving her long whip from time to time, making a crisp sound of breaking through the air.

If Chen Xing was here, he would definitely think of someone - Princess Qingcheng, Lacey Maris. The lion he was riding was replaced by the double-headed scorpion tail lion "Manticol", and the whip was replaced by the golden double gun

Then, then

Then, a group of male and female actors in gymnastics uniforms, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, constantly waved and blew kisses to the onlookers.

Then there was a group of players, some playing the accordion, some playing the trumpet, and some playing the violin. The music was chaotic but very lively.

Walking at the end were a group of old women in ragged cloth robes, with crutches in their hands and their robes dragged to the ground, dirty.

The witch is an old woman who specializes in taking over the fate of the servants and provides some herbal medicines.

"Wow, they are all so happy~"

Margarice couldn't help but shout. Although these people were dressed in rags and were full of traces of poverty and hunger on their bodies and faces, they all had a common characteristic, which was to feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

The world seemed to have opened a new page for the eldest lady of the Earl's family.

A world beyond cognition that has never been seen before.

It turns out that there is such a life.

It turns out that the smile can be so bright.

It turns out that happiness can be so simple and so unrestrained.

The smiles she saw were completely different from the nobles of Ice Blue City.

Although the nobles of Binglan City always had gentle smiles on their faces, in fact, anyone could feel their hearts cold and alert, as if a smiling lion would suddenly hurt people at any time.

For them, smiling is nothing more than a kind of etiquette, something that must be carried, and not really feeling happy.

Others do this, and she does this too. Smiling every day and facing anyone with a smile, but the coldness in her heart is inversely proportional to the smile on her face. Often, the happier she smiles, the more she wants to kill the other person.

Because she grew up in that environment and was surrounded by such people, she could only become such a person, otherwise she would be rejected by that circle and become a "loser".

And the happiness of these people is simple and pure, like a bird flying through the sky, free and unrestrained.

Because I am happy, I laugh.

It was not only the lady of the Ursula family, but also the wife who touched the heartstrings.

She remembered the girl's age running in the countryside, and the day she held her wedding with her husband. It seemed that it had been a long time, and she didn't feel such joy anymore.

The wild circus is the angel that brings happiness to those who struggle to survive in harsh environments.

Power, wealth, status, does not matter to them. They do not care about poverty, hunger and discriminatory eyes. The only thing they need is happiness.

Their happiness has infected countless people who are struggling on the edge of the world and living hard, allowing them to continue to live, feel the warmth of the sun, and feel the kindness of the world.

Unconsciously, Mrs. Ursula hugged her daughter's shoulders, and the latter also drilled her small head into her arms.

The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other, as if time had also become slow, like a trickle of water, gentle and quiet.

At this moment, they reconciled.

In the afternoon, the circus pulled up a huge tent and held a grand performance.

Although the equipment is a bit old, the speakers are hoarse and the clothes are simple, the dancing girl is either a little slow when she is old or too young to learn to be clumsy. As for the animal performance, the lion dares not jump into the fire circle and rushes out of the stage halfway.

Chasing the monkey teasing it, a group of villagers were so scared that they yelled and shouted that they wanted to refund the ticket.

Regardless of professionalism, it is indeed very happy to be happy.

After the performance, it was already night. A huge bonfire was set up outside the circus tent. People surrounded the fire, holding hands, singing and dancing.

Suddenly, a high-pitched music overshadowed the sound of the accordion and the six-string guitar.

The music was light and joyful, like the sound of nature. Everyone stopped and looked at the place where the music came.

A girl walked out of the crowd, her fair neck was supported by a violin, her strings were pulled quickly, and her two golden ponytails were jumping in the light melody. When she turned around, her skirt was flying, as graceful as the legendary one

Elf fairy.

People gradually came to their senses and danced with the rhythm of the music, and their dance became more and more passionate and unrestrained.

When the music reached its climax, Margarice shone blue all over her body and jumped onto the bonfire. Her little red leather shoes stepped on the burning logs, and her ballet steps were splashing freely. The loud sound of the piano rushed to the sky.

People cheered, and I don’t know who shouted the slogan “Flame Swan” first, and everyone shouted.

The carnival lasted all night, and it was not until the next morning that the tired people left one after another.

The wild circus will stay for three days, on the first day, perform large-scale programs and bonfire carnivals, and turn into magic and throw fireballs on the second day, and sell small crafts. The witch Zhanfu is visiting doctors and selling herbs. At night, the wanderings sing and dance with accompanying/sleeping

, on the third day, continue the second day.

For refugees who have been busy all year, the three days of the circus arrive are the happiest time of the year, even happier than during the Harvest Festival.

Especially for those young men who have not married their wives, or who are already adult but have no girlfriend and have nowhere to vent their strong hormones.

Compared with ordinary wanderings with fixed residences, the quality of circus wanderings is generally not high. They eat and sleep in the wild all day long. The skin cannot be too good, but the price is relatively cheap. Sometimes, they don’t even need money, so give some.

Just have food.

Moreover, the circus's wanderings have a tradition of not taking any contraceptive measures. Once pregnant, they are born and raised by the big circus family to replenish the population.

Some of these children have grown up to be acrobats, trainers, craftsmen, or guards, or wanderings.

Some of the descendants of refugees are in the circus. If they pass by again and their blood relatives want to claim, they have to pay a large amount of child support, or give up their settlement life and join the circus so that they can also be with their children.

Life.

Usually wild circuses have their own travel routes. This route is relatively fixed, and it travels between familiar villages, basically once a year. After all, refugee villages and marginal towns are very poor and cannot withstand too frequent carnivals.

If there is an accidental "car collision", it means that two wild circuses come to the same village at the same time, or if a circus has just arrived not long ago, they will leave politely.

However, this is rare because they will make an appointment with the local village chief or tribal leader for next year.

For example, after the circus leaves, the village chief of Guzara Village will hang colorful flags at the entrance of the village, which means that a circus has visited this year or has an agreed object. Seeing this flag, other circuses will

Will leave silently.

On the third day, Ursula and his daughter visited the circus leader.

"Miss Flame Swan, and this noble lady, what can I do to help both of you?" The middle-aged leader, who was a bald man bowed and greeted him.

Since Margarice's stunning violin solo and the ballet strolling through the flames that day, everyone has begun to call her this.

"We want to go north, and I don't know where you will pass?" asked Margarice.

"We will arrive in Beifeng Town before winter, and then spend the whole winter there. Along the way, we will pass Dashi Village, Niujiao Village, Lazi Tribe, Prade Town, Rock Town, Roast Duck Town, Orchid Town...

"

When Margarice heard Orchid Town, her beautiful eyes lit up, and then she asked to follow the team to the north.

Under Brook's repeated warnings, although the middle-aged uncle seemed to be a good person, Margarice still did not reveal her real destination to avoid being coveted.
