The animal trainer Lao Fei was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. With a flick of his wrist, the golden bamboo stick was aimed at Yadi's buttocks and was about to be whipped. At this moment, Director Gao rushed up, grabbed the wrist of the animal trainer Lao Fei and said: "You are dizzy, don't hit the wrong target with this stick!" The animal trainer Lao Fei said angrily: "Ya Di is getting worse and worse. If she doesn't teach her a lesson, her bad habits will get worse. "Director Gao said, "How many times have I told you, if Yadi makes a mistake, just slap the monkey in front of her to scare her. "Why are you so reluctant to hit the monkey?" The trainer Lao Fei said, "The monkey is behaving well now, rehearsing the show very hard, and performing the movements very well. I can't find any reason to hit it." ," Director Gao said with a sneer, "I paid money to buy it from the zoo so that it could be beaten instead of Yadi. Its name is Banzi Monkey, so what reason do you need to beat it! "Trainer Lao Fei shook his head with a wry smile: "Although it is a stupid monkey, but I beat it without any reason. I always feel that this is unethical and cannot be done. ?Okay, okay, no matter what, you can't be emotional. Yadi has to perform on stage tonight. What if you break her and delay the performance? "Director Gao said, "I don't believe you can't find faults with the monkey. You can pick out bones from the eggs, but it can't find faults? You are a human being, and your brain must be brighter than that of a monkey. Why don't you use your brain to create some trouble for the monkey and come up with a reason to punish it? "
The animal trainer Lao Zan scratched his head and sighed secretly.
The monkey was called to rehearse the alley catch on the bamboo pole again. The animal trainer Lao Fei Picking up a pile of little red riding hoods, he threw them into the air. At the moment when the little red riding hoods were spinning and flying into the air, the monkey quickly kicked off the bamboo pole, curled up into a ball and flew away, just in time to form a vertical and horizontal axis intersection with the flying little red riding hoods. point, I saw it stretching its limbs, grabbing Little Red Riding Hood as fast as lightning, and quickly clasping it on his head. Then in a very short moment, it straightened its waist and retracted its abdomen, gliding like a bird, and landed steadily on the bamboo top on the opposite side. . It hugged the bamboo pole and turned in a circle on the bamboo tip.
At this time, the animal trainer Lao Fei threw a little red hat over again, and it took advantage of the elasticity of the bamboo tip to leap forward. Go out, catch the hat steadily and put it on your head. The second round and round? The third round and round? It flew back and forth between the two bamboo poles, and accurately put all six little red hats on its head. On. Its posture is graceful and its movements are crisp and neat, almost impeccable.
The golden monkey is an animal that lives entirely in trees. Wild golden monkeys climb and jump on the trees all day long. Jumping to another treetop is known as the Flying Monkey. It should be said that letting the golden monkey perform an alley-catching ball just brings out the golden monkey's strengths. The difficulty of the program is not too difficult. The key is to master the rhythm. When the trainer is old. At the same moment when Fei threw the little red hat out of his hand, he kicked his legs and jumped up, not too fast or too slow. After catching the hat in the air, he had to put the hat on his head in time, so that he could free up his hands to hug the bamboo pole opposite. Be sure to stay calm and don't panic, so that nothing can go wrong. The monkey practiced it three times yesterday, and he memorized the key points of the action.
The trainer Lao Fei's lips curled up. With an imperceptible smile, he raised the seventh little red hat and made a throwing motion. The monkey immediately kicked the bamboo pole with its hind paws like a reflex as before, but this time, the trainer Lao Fei just did it. He made a false move of throwing, but Little Red Riding Hood did not fly into the air, but was still held in his hand. When the monkey got off the bamboo pole, he threw the little red riding hood out. There is no doubt that this half-second time difference will definitely throw the monkey away. The monkey made a mistake and landed on the opposite bamboo pole with his empty hand. The seventh little red hat flew around in the air for a while like a bird escaping from the cage.
"Hey! "The trainer Lao Fei raised the golden bamboo stick in his hand, pointed at the monkey on the top of the bamboo, and gave a stern shout.
Ah - the monkey howled in grievance. Although it could not It received the seventh Little Red Riding Hood, but it felt that the responsibility was not with it, but that the time it threw the Little Red Riding Hood was half a beat too late. It could not linger in the air like a hummingbird. Unless it was a golden monkey with special powers, no one could catch it. This little red riding hood!
“Hi! "The animal trainer Lao Fei, like a glaring King Kong, shouted again fiercely.
The monkey monkey hurriedly slid down from the bamboo top. It understood that no one cared whether it had been wronged, and no one
would listen to its defense and protest. It did not If it receives the seventh Little Red Riding Hood, it is its fault. It has to accept the punishment obediently, otherwise, it will be punished twice. After it fell to the ground, it timidly looked at the golden bamboo stick in the hands of the trainer Lao Fei, then lay down in front of Yadi, holding its head and shoulders, raising its pink buttocks, waiting to be hit. The trainer used the golden bamboo stick to pick up the seventh little red hat that fell on the ground, threw it in front of the monkey, shouted a few words of reprimand, flicked his wrist, and slapped the golden bamboo stick heavily on its back, as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake. Like a mouthful, it screamed and jumped out instinctively. Yadi, who was squatting aside, also shrank into a ball in fear.
"Come back! Get down!" the animal trainer Lao Fei shouted angrily. The stupid monkey was crying, but reluctantly he had to return to Yadi again, raising his buttocks. Bang, the golden bamboo stick hit it on the butt, and it rolled on the ground in pain.
"See, if you don't train well, if you can't catch Little Red Riding Hood, I'm going to spank you!" The trainer praised the golden bamboo stick in his hand and waved it in front of Zhidi.
Yadi climbed up the bamboo pole as fast as she could without waiting for the trainer Lao Fei’s order. Yadi's training started again. The trainer Lao Fei threw little red hats into the air one after another, and Yadi jumped back and forth between the two bamboo poles. This time, as usual, after giving the monkey a slap, it acted as a deterrent to Yadi. Soon, Yadi learned the program of catching the ball in the air.
After the rehearsal, the trainer Lao Fei came to the monkey, applied some anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment on its back and buttocks, stuffed a piece of fruit candy in its mouth, and stroked its head. He sighed and said, "Oh, don't blame me for being cruel. I don't want to hit you. I know that it's unjust to hit you. I have no choice. Who made you look so ugly? You can't go on the stage, so you have to be a sparring partner, and you have to be beaten." . The blame lies with your parents for not giving you a good skin."
Indeed, Yadi and Banzihou stand together, one is like a proud princess, and the other is like a humble slave.
On the night of June 1st, the circus performed specially for the children on the big stage.
The big stage was brightly lit, and animal actors such as elephants, alpacas, bears, and poodles performed under the command of the trainers.
The monkey was led backstage and tied with an iron chain to the iron ring of a prop box on the side of the curtain. Every time Yadi performs a show, she must be taken to the backstage to accompany her. If Yadi gets emotional or makes a mistake during the performance, she will be spanked with a golden bamboo stick to force Yadi to perform seriously. It's a board monkey, and that's what it's used for.
It was Yadi's turn to come on stage. With a pink silk scarf tied around her neck, Yadi drove a tricycle into the brightly lit stage to the accompaniment of music, performing a performance of riding a tricycle across the seesaw. programme.
This is a new show. The director designed it like this: there is a grass-green seesaw about 70 centimeters wide and about 7 meters long on the stage. The performers pedal a small tricycle up from one end of the seesaw and ride across it. In the middle, the other end of the seesaw sank, just like a slide, and the performer rode a tricycle and quickly slid down the seesaw. This program looks easy on the surface, but it is actually quite difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that when the other end of the seesaw suddenly sinks, the center of gravity changes and you will lose your balance if you are not careful. The car overturned and the monkey fell down from the narrow wooden plank.
Yadi pedaled the tricycle to the fulcrum in the middle of the seesaw. As soon as the front wheel passed the line, the grass-green board tilted up and down, and her center of gravity suddenly reversed. She didn't know whether she was too panicked or forgot. After losing the essentials of the movement of leaning back, the tricycle suddenly turned and fell down from the seesaw. Yadi was also knocked to the ground. Although the highest point of the seesaw was only one meter above the ground, the fall was not too heavy. She was not injured, but Yadi was detained under the tricycle. She struggled for a long time before she got out from under the tricycle, looking very embarrassed.
There was a sigh of regret in the audience.
The circus theater is designed a bit like a stadium, with the stage in the middle and seats surrounding it. Unlike other troupe performances, if an actor has an accident, the curtain can be drawn up in time to cover up the shame and ugliness of circus performances. Shifa's mistakes were exposed from beginning to end in front of the audience.
The animal trainer Lao Fei took Yadi's arm, took off his high hat, bowed to the audience repeatedly, and apologized for the mistakes in the performance.
Let Yadi start again. She didn’t know whether she fell and knocked her head out, or was afraid that she would be crushed under the tricycle if the tricycle rolled over again. Yadi pedaled the tricycle crookedly, and just when she reached the fulcrum in the middle of the seesaw, the wheels tilted, and before the tricycle tipped over. , it jumped off the tricycle first, and the tricycle driven by Wuhou rolled down from the seesaw with a clang.
For animal actors, giving up in the middle of the show, which is called abandoning the stage in the jargon, is a serious dereliction of duty and should be taught and punished.
The animal trainer Lao Fei raised the golden bamboo stick in his hand and shook it on Yadi's head. That was the sternest warning: Don't be naughty and continue the performance!
Yadi was not afraid at all. She glared at humans with her monkey eyes and bared her teeth and roared at the trainer, Lao Fei. The trainer, Lao Fei, turned blue with anger. He gritted his teeth and picked up the golden bamboo stick and slapped Yadi on her butt gently. Yadi was a star performer in the circus. She was spoiled and spoiled. How could she bear the grievance? She grabbed the golden bamboo stick, jumped onto the light stand, and climbed along the iron stand to the tall light tower. , no matter how the trainer Lao Fei yelled, he never came down.
The animal actors resisted the instructions of the animal trainers and made noises and acts on the stage, making the performance unable to proceed normally. In the jargon, it was called a scene.
The animal trainer Lao Fei was deprived of his stick and could not climb up to the tall lamp tower to capture Yadi, so he stood on the stage in embarrassment. There was a commotion in the audience. Some blamed Ya Di for being too willful, some blamed the circus for being too chaotic, and some thought the human-monkey confrontation was quite interesting and much better than a normal show, so they cheered for Ya Di at the top of their lungs. The whole theater was in a mess.
Here, Director Gao, who is the stage manager, sweating profusely, is busy behind the scenes directing the actors to temporarily change the program. People are hurriedly putting colorful feathers on the heads of African zebras and draping necklaces on the golden saddles. Tassel, ready to perform circus. Unfortunately, in the midst of busy work, I don’t know where to put the bridle and chew. If I don’t put the bridle on the zebra, what if it runs wild on the stage, runs around, bites other animal actors, and kicks the zebra? Yes, the consequences are disastrous. So everyone was mobilized and busy looking for the fatal bridle bit.
There must be an alternative show immediately to divert the audience's attention away from the troublesome Yadi, otherwise it will seriously damage the reputation of Sunshine Circus.
However, the African zebra was delayed in coming to the stage, and Yadi became more and more aggressive on the lantern tower. Saving a field is like putting out a fire, rescuing a field is like rescuing a disaster, and rescuing a field is like rescuing a life.
I don’t know how the trainer Lao Fei came up with the idea of ??letting the monkey play. Maybe it was an emergency measure he came up with in a hurry. Maybe he was already tired of Yadi’s habit of acting like a celebrity. She then had a certain fondness for Ban Zihou, so she took this opportunity to let Ban Zihou show her face on stage to kill Yadi's arrogance. He ran to the side of the screen, without asking Director Gao's opinion, untied the iron chain around the monkey's neck, pointed at the overturned tricycle, and shouted.
The monkey roared softly, jumped out from the side of the curtain, picked up the tricycle, rode on it and pedaled quickly. It had rehearsed this show with Yadi and knew what to do. During sparring, it can not only ride a tricycle up and down the movable seesaw, but it is also even better at it. It can stand upside down on the handlebars and slide down from the seesaw.
The noisy stage and noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the monkey.
The board monkey pedaled a small tricycle around the stage, rushed up to the seesaw, pedaled hard, and quickly rode to the fulcrum in the middle. When the seesaw began to tilt, it tightened Hold the handle, lean back slightly, and maintain balance skillfully. The tricycle slid smoothly down the seesaw and fell to the ground. As it moved forward with its inertia, it turned the handlebar and slid. The tricycle danced like a graceful waltz. Only one wheel flew into the air, and two wheels landed on the ground, spinning around in place. The whole set of movements is compact and coordinated, impeccable.
In the audience, there was applause and cheers, and many people were whispering and talking. A fat boy shouted loudly: "This monkey is really ugly!" A little girl said: "Although it looks ugly, it does a good job.
"The trainer Lao Fei whistled and twisted his wrist to make an inverted posture. The monkey pedaled the tricycle again and rode up the sloping seesaw again. When it reached the middle fulcrum, it held down the tricycle with its two front paws. He straightened his waist, raised his hind limbs in the air, and stood upside down on the tricycle. The seesaw was tilted to the other end under the control of the center of gravity, and the tricycle automatically slid down the slope. This was a difficult move for a monkey actor. He said that to do this, you need to master extraordinary balance ability. The two front paws holding the handlebars must be evenly pressed. Going down, she fell even worse than Yadi just now. Many children in the audience had their eyes widened and looked nervous. They were so absorbed in watching that their mouths opened in an "O" shape.
The end of the seesaw sank rapidly under the control of the center of gravity. When it hit the ground, it trembled and vibrated. The tricycle shook for a while. The two hind legs of the seesaw held up in the air swung from side to side like rudders, but the body was still Standing firmly on the tricycle, it can overcome the difficulties and dangers of this show with its superb skills. It only needs to follow the inertia of the seesaw. Sliding down, sliding to the flat ground and then somersaulting off the tricycle, this difficult program is considered a complete success.
With only the last three or four meters of the seesaw left, victory is in sight and success is imminent. /p>
Suddenly, an accident happened. Yadi raised her tail, jumped down from the lantern tower, ran to the seesaw, screamed strangely, raised the golden bamboo stick she grabbed, and beat the monkey with the golden bamboo stick. On the back of the board monkey, the board monkey trembled. The tricycle refused to obey and turned sharply. It fell down from the narrow seesaw. The board monkey was thrown hard and chewed the mud.
< p>There were boos in the audience.The monkey fell to the ground and could not get up. Yadi still raised the golden bamboo stick to beat the monkey. It must be countless. It was the first time I saw how the trainer Lao Fei spanked the monkey's butt. Not only did he learn the spanking action, but he also took it as a matter of course to slap the monkey's feet. There was no doubt that he saw that the monkey was about to perform successfully. Strongly jealous and dissatisfied with being robbed of his limelight by the monkey, the trainer Lao Fei rushed up and grabbed the golden bamboo stick, and grabbed Yadi. He bent down and bowed and smiled at the audience, dragging Yadi backstage and tying her with an iron chain to the box on the side of the curtain.
Ban Zihou fell hard. After struggling for a while, he got up and took just two steps. His legs gave out and he fell to the ground again. At this time, the trainer Lao Fei hurriedly returned to the stage holding the golden bamboo stick. Seeing that the monkey was still lying on the ground, he came up to think about it. Help Banzi Monkey up. Banzi Monkey stared at the golden bamboo stick in his hand, screamed, jumped up, endured the pain, helped up the overturned tricycle, gritted his teeth and pedaled, Getting on the seesaw
It is understandable for the monkey to do this. Due to the painful lessons in the past, it must have thought that the trainer Lao Fei blamed it for not performing successfully and wanted to teach it a lesson. . It does not want to suffer physical pain, it is afraid of being beaten, so it can only grit its teeth and perform again.
The tricycle drove up the seesaw, riding uphill. Halfway through the ride, the monkey probably injured his leg and was unable to pedal, so the tricycle fell backwards again. It whined and pushed the car desperately onto the seesaw. Once? Twice? Twice? It finally rushed to the middle of the seesaw and stood on the tricycle. Its body was shivering like a leaf in the cold wind, its face was covered with beads of sweat, and its expression was very painful. It was obvious that it relied on its tenacious perseverance to complete this difficult action. The center of gravity of the seesaw tilted to the other end, and with a thud, the top hit the ground. The seesaw vibrated violently. The monkey's body swayed, but he was still standing upside down on the tricycle. The tricycle sped downwards, finally slid to the ground, turned in a graceful circle, and ended the performance.
The monkey jumped out of the car and lay on the ground, panting. Thunderous applause erupted in the theater. The children were moved by Banzi Monkey's superb skills and tenacious style, applauding and applauding as hard as they could.
The animal trainer Lao Fei pulled the monkey to thank him three times before the applause subsided. No other Sunshine Circus animal performer has ever received such an honor.
African zebras dressed in red and green appear on stage, and the next circus performance festival is about to begin.
The animal trainer Lao Fei led the monkey off the stage and happened to meet Director Gao on the side of the curtain. Director Gao patted the trainer Lao Fei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your cleverness in letting the monkey perform in time when Yadi was making trouble. Otherwise, tonight would have been miserable." Director Gao knelt down and touched Touching Banzi Monkey's head, he added: "I didn't expect that its performance would be so popular. I always thought that such an ugly monkey would never be able to go on stage. Alas, I was wrong. In the future, give it more opportunities to go on stage. Performance, oh, maybe it will create a big clown star."
When the trainer Lao Fei led the monkey past the prop box, Yadi shook the iron chain around her neck and bared her teeth. It roared loudly, obviously venting its dissatisfaction with the trainer Lao Fei for locking it to the side of the curtain and letting the monkey perform on the stage. The trainer, Fei Fei, pointed his golden bamboo stick at Yadi's head and said, "The performance is a disaster. How dare you scream? If you make trouble again, be careful and I will beat you!"
Yadi ignored his threat. , it had abandoned the stage and made trouble in plays before, but the golden bamboo stick in his hand, which symbolizes power and punishment for animal actors, had never seriously hit it. At most, it only hit it on the head like a dragonfly. Two gentle taps were more like scratching an itch than a punishment. It has always been like this, when it makes a mistake, the monkey will be punished on its behalf. It still growled lowly and was eager to bite the monkey. The animal trainer Lao Fei was so angry that he raised his golden bamboo stick and fired his bow left and right. There were a series of slaps, the golden monkey hair was flying in the air, and there were scars like earthworms on Yadi's back and buttocks.
The history of letting other monkeys suffer on behalf of Yadi, and taking the blame on Yadi’s behalf is gone forever.
