Chapter 21 I (3)

Just like what I thought.

Guns, money, night, and fireworks can cover people's eyes, but when the sun rises again, people will be blocked by something else.

And this city is like a bad painter, layer by layer, covering people's hearts with repeated colors, and its true appearance has long been forgotten.

In any case, the madness passed after all. The police evacuated the masses, many people involved in shootings and bank robberies were arrested, the chaotic streets were cleaned up, the avenue was surrounded by temporary guardrails, and the police station and Wayne Building began to be rebuilt.

All this happened within a few days. The entire city was restored to its original state, and no one really fell into madness because of the carnival that night. In fact, it seemed that that night had never happened.

Oh, no, it seems that someone went crazy. It is said that he was a lunatic who likes to enforce violently everywhere at night. He was wearing a black cloak and flying around the roof.

But I don’t have the heart to pay attention to the crazy guys, what I want to pay attention to is my new job.

A circus handyman.

Actually, I originally wanted to find a more suitable job, such as a salesperson or a position in the parking lot, but I couldn't help it. Because of the early payment of rent, my family had no money. I could only use this daily settlement job to maintain the food supply. At this time, I couldn't let Jenny hungry.

And the work in the circus is really terrible.

First of all, there are really horses there, and horses can poop as you think. Circus people will definitely not let the feces wrapped in grass leaves pile on the ground. Well, the next thing is my life. I have to shovel the stenched grass balls into a sack and throw them far and far away. Along the way, I can only carry them with both hands and try not to let the things that flow out of them rub against me.

So, it's ridiculous that I'm using something pulled out of my horse's butt to exchange for my bread.

"It's ridiculous."

This is the most common saying I have said recently, because, in addition to shoveling horse manure, I have to tell jokes to those who watch circus so that the performance is not so cold. At the end of every joke that is not funny at all, I always add this word to prove that the passage I just said is a joke, not my own nonsense.

I don't understand why those people still have the heart to watch the circus. Just a few days ago, the city had just experienced a riot. Have they all forgotten it?

It's really crazy.

But no matter what, in addition to dealing with horse manure every day, I finally had a source of income, which made my life barely become regular again.

And it all happened the day before Jenny's birthday

it's over!

"You can't do this!" I said to the lean bastard in front of me. He was the head of the circus and the person who paid me a salary every day.

"I'm sorry, but we can't hire you anymore."

"Why?" I asked, trying hard to avoid panicing: "I've cleaned those horse dungs, oh, is it because of my joke? Well, I can learn a few more, I can buy a book, or I can apply my lips a little red, that will make me more like a clown, everyone likes clowns, you know."

"No, it's not because of this." The head of the ban interrupted me: "Our circus has no money to hire you anymore. In fact, we are almost unable to operate it."

"Impossible, there are obviously customers, okay, we don't have many customers, but I only need 4 cents a day."

"sorry."

This was the last thing he said to me. Then, he completely ignored me and no matter how I asked for it, he ignored me.

At that time, in his eyes, I saw a similar expression to Mrs. Feli.

Finally, I left. When I walked out of the office, I saw our horse trainer outside the door, probably, like me, that he was about to leave.

Well, fate joked with me again, and it joked about me every now and then. Unlike the previous joke, this time I finally became a penniless pauper, and tomorrow is Jenny's birthday.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and I was wandering on the street. I didn't dare to go home because I didn't dare to tell Jenny that we had no income anymore, and this matter would have to be delayed until at least after her birthday.

Before I knew it, I walked to the door of a bar.

I smelled the smell of alcohol and vomit all over the ground. I was like this, standing there blankly like a homeless child.

To be honest, alcohol is not good. I have never liked to drink since I was a child, but now I really want to have a drink.

Of course, I don’t have money, but I don’t know what’s wrong with my brain. Maybe a few days ago, that crazy farce took root in my brain, so I felt that even if I went in and drank some wine and then didn’t give it money, it seemed like it was no big deal. After all, I didn’t participate in the crazy that day, so the city seemed to owe me one time to just drink some wine.

In this way, I walked into the bar in a chaotic mind.

Then

Just drunk!

I don't know how long it took.

"Hahaha--"

I smiled, and the people next to me were laughing.

Because I told a joke, which did not amuse a person in the circus, but instead had its due effect here. Sure enough, wine is a good thing, at least it can make me laugh at this moment.

So I asked for another cup.

On the old TV in the corner, there was also a wanted order from the girl who called herself Quinn. I smiled and looked at the photos on the screen.

In a trance, I seemed to hear a voice calling me, and I turned around

Is that girl on TV?!

Oh, no, I drank a little too much, the person who patted my shoulder was not the girl at all, but a man in a black windbreaker.

"Hey, man, you drank a lot today." The man said.

"Haha-yeah, I'm going to tell you, I want to drink too much, so that when I get beaten for not giving money, I won't feel that painful."

"Hahaha-this joke is good!"

"Of course" I responded.

Suddenly, the laughter of the person on the opposite side ended abruptly

"If you laugh enough, let's talk about the business. We know that you worked in a chemical factory some time ago, and you can make a lot of money by just doing us a small favor. How about it?"

The man said to me with a smile.
