Chapter 36 Unique Skill
Ma Junjie was also very curious and looked forward to the upcoming program.
Back in his rural hometown, he would go to the market in town and see people performing.
However, those shows were very rough. The better ones involved street performers gathered around a large tent, and you had to buy a ticket to go inside.
He still remembers it vividly and fondly, and feels quite regretful about it.
I once saw a program called "Beautiful Snake," which was about a little girl who was born with a human head and a snake tail. Her family disliked her and abandoned her.
This sounds outrageous, like a fairy tale, but the promotional image for the performance really did feature a beautiful woman with a human head and a snake's tail.
Ma Junjie was greatly surprised and quite curious, eager to see the "beautiful snake" immediately.
However, the street performers set up tents and charged a 2 yuan entrance fee to go inside and watch.
At that time, Ma Junjie's pockets were emptier than his face; even a hero can be brought down by a single penny.
Ma Junjie was forced to stand outside, watching longingly as the other children happily went inside to watch.
Even now, many years later
Ma Junjie was still deeply resentful.
On the one hand, they still don't understand what that "beautiful snake" looks like, or whether it's real.
On the other hand, he longed to hug his past self, who had once envied others and silently shed tears.
Now that I'm older,
He understood that money wasn't everything, but without it, life in this society was absolutely impossible.
With this in mind, the middle-aged man was ready and began his performance.
His props were also very simple; he somehow produced a large rooster.
The rooster's feathers were glossy and shiny; it was full of energy and very active.
The middle-aged man loosened his grip, and the rooster suddenly darted away.
The middle-aged man gave chase, but with a "thud," he crashed to the ground, falling face-first into the dirt.
Everyone burst into laughter upon seeing this.
Fortunately, the middle-aged woman reacted quickly and grabbed the rooster.
The middle-aged man was furious. He stood up and snatched the rooster away.
Then he addressed the crowd and said,
"This beast is so disobedient, I need to teach it a lesson!"
As they were speaking,
The middle-aged man took the rooster's leg and snapped it hard.
Everyone clearly heard a "click" sound, and then exclaimed "Oh!"
The rooster clearly felt the pain; its whole body flapped and struggled, trying to escape.
The middle-aged man glared angrily, and unexpectedly, grabbed the rooster's other leg again and snapped it hard.
"Snap!" Adding insult to injury.
The man broke both of the rooster's legs.
The man was quite satisfied and showed the rooster to everyone.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, and exclaimed in unison.
Holy crap, wow!
The man had broken both of the rooster's thighs, with white bones protruding from the crimson flesh!
Some timid girls screamed "Wow!" and quickly turned their heads away to cover their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the man threw the rooster to the ground with a "thud."
The rooster landed vertically on the ground, motionless, crowing weakly.
At this point, no one understood what the middle-aged man meant by performing this.
They even claim it's a unique skill, but what kind of unique skill is that?
As everyone was wondering, another middle-aged woman walked over with a glass bottle.
Said,
"Look everyone, this rooster is injured like this. I have a medicine that specializes in treating bruises and sprains. Let's try it and see if it can save it!"
"If I can save it and restore it to its original state, I hope everyone will give me a round of applause!"
"Clap clap clap!" Before the medication was even administered, everyone clapped enthusiastically.
Many people probably feel some sympathy when they see the rooster being tortured!
The woman squatted down, poured some red liquid from the bottle into her hand,
Then the medicine was applied to the rooster's injured legs.
No one could believe that this potion was really that miraculous.
Then they saw the woman grasp the rooster's leg and gently stroke it a few times.
Then he raised his head and said,
"Everyone, watch closely! I'll count to three, and see if the rooster is ready yet!"
"one two three!"
The woman released the rooster, and in an instant, as soon as it hit the ground, it flapped its wings and ran away quickly.
He looked so energetic and lively, as if he had never been injured!
Everyone stared in disbelief, speechless with astonishment.
Immediately, thunderous applause erupted.
Several elderly people couldn't wait and begged the woman to bring them the mercurochrome to take a look.
The woman then took out several bottles of mercurochrome from a suitcase and said with a grin,
"Don't rush, don't rush, we have everything you want to buy. Large bottles are 30, small bottles are 25. They can cure bruises, psoriasis, skin diseases, and even sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis!"
The crowd was filled with excitement.
Several young men became even more excited upon hearing that syphilis could be cured.
Without hesitation, he took out his money to buy it.
In just a few minutes, a whole suitcase full of medicine was sold out.
Ma Junjie didn't have time to think about it; he saw an old man next to him buy a large bottle.
He rolled up his trousers, opened the lid, and started rubbing it on his legs.
The old man had a large patch of red psoriasis on his leg, which looked so itchy it made my scalp tingle.
The old man applied the medicine to his hands and massaged them vigorously.
Ma Junjie asked,
"Sir, how do you feel?"
The old man frowned and said, "It's alright, just a little spicy!"
The person next to him added,
"The burning sensation means it's killing the virus and it's working! It seems to be effective!"
Ma Junjie took a sniff.
He felt the taste of the medicine was familiar.
However, since I didn't need it myself, I didn't bother with it much.
But today, he really did get a taste of his own medicine – it opened his eyes!
He beamed and walked forward, magazine in hand.
There's a small pond in front of us; it's quite dark there.
After thinking about it, Ma Junjie decided it was best to go back early.
So he turned around and headed back to the factory the way he came.
Passing by the basketball court, I saw many young people playing basketball again.
Ma Junjie couldn't help but stand there and watch for a while.
When he was in high school, his favorite sport was basketball, and his favorite basketball star was Allen Iverson.
Unfortunately, he has never touched a basketball since graduating from high school and returning to his hometown.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Ma Junjie felt a little itchy to join in.
I'm thinking that when I have time in the future, I'll come over and play basketball and get some exercise.
After watching for a while, he continued walking back.
As I walked out of the small park, I saw people selling sneakers at a street stall.
The shoes were all 29 yuan a pair. Ma Junjie thought the price wasn't too expensive, so he went over to take a look.
The shop owner enthusiastically introduced his shoes, saying they were all wholesaled from Putian, of super high quality, and all from major brands!
Ma Junjie didn't know anything about big brands. He just picked out a pair that looked good, paid for them, and left.
After leaving the park, there is a rather dark road.
Ma Junjie was deep in thought when suddenly a dark shadow darted out from behind him.
"Hey, bro..."
