Chapter 170 (1/2)
They move forward aimlessly and unconsciously come to a market. Fang Tianxing and Yang an come down to the market. They walk into the crowd.
”Let's go out for a walk. Today is the market. It's very busy outside. There are many people. We can have a look.” Yang an said to Tianxing.
Today's market is really very lively. Many people here are jugglers and peddlers of local products. Such rural market trade began to appear in ancient times. After the separation of handicraft industry and agriculture, the number of product exchanges between tribes and between agricultural producers and handicraftsmen increased, and the scale and scope of exchange expanded. From the original accidental trading place, it gradually became a market with a fixed time and place.
The town is very busy, the streets are full of people, and the degree of crowding is comparable to those busy commercial streets. Transactions are happening anytime, anywhere. In the streets and alleys, people selling small commodities can be seen everywhere. Fang Tianxing and Yang an go together and hang out here.
They followed the crowd for a while and came to a shop. This shop was obviously the residence of local residents. They took down a wall facing the street and turned it into a storefront. There are not many people in the small shop. It is mainly operated by a few villagers.
Fang Tianxing and Yang an stroll around, only to see that there are many people in front of them. Fang Tian walks to see that someone is performing acrobatics. The old man at the head is playing with a throwing knife, and the young man is performing spitting fire. Although their performance is good, compared with them, the modern songs and dances of the young men and women on the other side are more eye-catching.
The world is not just a place where swordsmen and swordsmen share grudges, where the craftsmen are wandering and the streets are full of ups and downs. The old man, who is the leader of the acrobatic troupe, has a steady and steady movement, but he is very experienced in raising his hands and feet.
The two young people who seemed to be his apprentices performed their own programs, and their performances were crisp, natural and unrestrained. The little apprentice performs huff and puff of fire, drinks a mouthful of wine, and then spits out. The flame huff and puff out from his mouth, which is very spectacular.
Recently, the gale cooling weather, the teacher Fu felt that some do not adapt. The performance was also more difficult than usual. The old master's Apprentice tried to perform the throwing knife that night for more than ten times without success.
At this time, the apprentice winked at him. The teacher Fu made a gesture and ordered the apprentice to wait. He tried four or five times, but the teacher Fu still didn't do it. Finally, the teacher Fu asked the apprentice to give up the performance.
In order to save the scene, the teacher Fu quickly performed other acrobatics. He broke a porcelain bowl to the ground, picked up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground, twisted it with his index finger and thumb, and the broken porcelain was twisted into fine pieces. In fact, the audience can't see it clearly, but the props should be made like a horse.
If you were an ordinary person, you would have been scared. The hard porcelain bowl easily turned into stone powder in the hands of the teacher Fu. How powerful it is. Although Yang an did not try whether he could do it or not, he would not pay attention to this kind of juggling.
Yang an disdained said: ”is not to break a porcelain bowl, for network authors, just like ordinary people crush ants so simple.”
”Your porcelain bowl must be made of flour. Do you think it can deceive me?” Yang installed a familiar look: ”this kind of juggling, I see a lot.”
Yang an thinks that juggling in the rivers and lakes is all deceiving. These acrobatics originated from the folk, but this kind of scene flourishes in the countryside and has a long vitality.
”Of course, these acrobatics are fake, but they are not deceptive. We all know that those are fake, acrobatics is the use of skills to deceive the eyes of the audience, as a means to please the audience Fang Tianxing said.
