Chapter 319 The Circus Abandoned by the Times

"Royal Circus?"

Looking at the words on the sign, Yang Lin's mind instantly recalled the circus performance he had seen in Ningnan City when he was a child.

He originally thought that such circus performances had disappeared into the flow of history.

Now it seems that it has not disappeared, but has just shifted its position, from a big city to a small county.

In addition to this standing sign, there are also some items displayed on the spray-painted cloth next to it, such as a tiger riding a horse, a lion walking in a fire ring, a python eating people, and a rat bigger than a dog.

Most of them are created using some very poor photo editing techniques, but obviously even this can deceive some people.

Originally, Yang Lin didn't intend to take a closer look, but it wasn't until a familiar growl came from the side that he turned his attention.

Under the dim light, large locked iron cages were placed there quietly, with snowflakes falling into them from time to time.

And the familiar low roar just now came from one of the iron cages.

When Yang Lin pointed the light of his mobile phone at the iron cage, a huge black shadow appeared in front of him.

After taking a closer look, I discovered that it was an extremely thin African lion.

It is no exaggeration to say that the size of this male lion is not even comparable to that of a dog egg.

What made Yang Lin feel even more silent was that when the lion was illuminated by the light of his mobile phone, it neither responded nor made any movements. It just kept spinning in circles in the small iron cage.

After the silence, Yang Lin also shined the light of his mobile phone on other iron cages on the side.

Soon, sickly animals appeared one after another.

There was a big black bear with a thick iron chain around its neck, a macaque looking up at the sky and eating snowflakes, a few puppies covered in mud, a half-sized pony and a half-sized Bengal tiger.

What Yang Lin didn't expect was that he actually found a big rat the size of a puppy.

As he scanned the iron cages one by one with his mobile phone, the scene was also presented to the audience through the lens of his mobile phone.

In an instant, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded.

"It's already 2023, why are there still such animal performances?"

"Oh my God, these animals are so miserable."

"It turns out that not all animals are treated as gently as the animals in Xihong Zoo."

"It's like one is in heaven and the other is on earth."

"The lion was so thin just now, and his movements were stereotyped. God knows what he suffered."

"And that big black bear, with such a thick chain around its neck, it probably can't do anything but stand."

"The same goes for that little monkey. He was actually eating snow there. He probably hasn't been given water for a long time."

"Director Yang, please save them."

"What kind of animal is that big rat? It can't really be a rat."

"It's such a snowy day and the temperature is so low."

...

At this moment, all the audience are looking forward to Yang Lin's ability to rescue these animals trapped in the circus as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, a clear voice came from behind Yang Lin.

"Uncle, do you want to watch the circus?"

Hearing this voice, Yang Lin turned around and realized that it was a little girl who was only seven or eight years old.

The girl was not tall, but her eyes were very sharp. It was a snowy day, but she was wearing an autumn uniform from an unknown school, and she was holding a pencil in her hand.

Seemingly thinking that Yang Lin was not interested in circus, he quickly added:

"Uncle, it only costs 10 yuan. It's not expensive."

With that said, she motioned to Yang Lin to follow her.

Yang Lin also followed the little girl's footsteps after taking a look at the animals in the iron cage.

Soon he came to the entrance of the tent.

With just one glance, he saw the surging flow of people in the tent.

Before he could see clearly what was being performed inside, the little girl took the initiative and handed over a payment code.

Out of curiosity about the content of the program, Yang Lin casually paid 10 yuan.

And the moment he paid, an excited smile suddenly appeared on the little girl's face.

"Thank you uncle."

After saying that, she took the payment code and jumped to a plastic stool next to the entrance.

Then she continued to lie on the stool and do her homework. Whenever someone passed by the tent, she would raise her head and take a look.

The cold wind blowing in from outside the tent from time to time made her face turn red from the cold.

In such a situation, both Yang Lin and the audience in the live broadcast room were moved by it.

The overwhelming resentment and anger of the audience just now dissipated a lot.

After shaking his head helplessly, Yang Lin stepped into the tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, enthusiastic waves and various chaotic sounds poured into his ears.

At the same time, a huge circular stage also appeared.

What is being performed on the stage at this moment is a high-altitude acrobatics performed by a pair of acrobats.

More than ten meters above the ground, a thinly dressed actor was seen biting a ribbon with his teeth, and below the ribbon was an actress.

While the actor is constantly rotating at high altitudes following the steel wire tied to his feet, the actress hanging on the ribbon is also autobiographical at a super fast frequency.

The level of thrills can be said to be so high that the audience at the scene applauded repeatedly.

After this show, performers performed thrilling projects such as breathing fire and swallowing light bulbs.

Seeing this, Yang Lin and everyone in the live broadcast room had a question at the same time.

If they charge only 10 yuan for an acrobatic performance of this level, do they really not lose money?

Just when this doubt first arose, a pair of dwarf hosts presented a bunch of products.

What about the southern Yunnan traditional Chinese medicine toothpaste, a light bulb that can light up without electricity.

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized.

"The circus of emotions is the originator of live streaming."

"Just saying that the 10 yuan ticket is not a loss, it turns out they have additional items."

"This is better than the current live broadcast of selling goods. At least people have programs to watch. Now, when selling goods through live broadcast, you just put out the product and sell it."

"If I'm not mistaken, these two hosts are the same couple who performed at high altitude just now."

"He was the one who swallowed the broken lightbulbs."

"It's not easy to think about it. Times are progressing, but they have been abandoned by the times."

"The little girl outside just now is their daughter."

"The little girl should still be studying. She was probably taken out by her parents during the winter vacation."

"That's not an excuse for them to enslave animals and abuse them. They are miserable, and neither are the animals."

"That is, animals should not become their money-making tools. I suggest Director Yang rescue the animals."

"I'll give you the seat of the Buddha."

"My whole family depends on these animals for their livelihood. If the animals are taken away, they will drink the northwest wind."

Suddenly, the audience in the live broadcast room was divided into two groups.

And while the audience was noisy, Yang Lin remained silent.

The animal performance on the other side of the stage also officially started.

The lion jumps through the fire ring, the tiger jumps over the plum blossom pile, the black bear jumps rope, and the macaque rides a bicycle.

As the animal show began, the enthusiasm of the audience increased a lot again, and the sales of those products also continued to rise.

The show lasted from 7pm to 10pm.

After all the audience dispersed, Yang Lin stayed alone.
