Chapter 59
"What you said makes sense. If it had to be a human, there must be some trick involved. Think about it, can everything get better just by entering a magic box? Is that really such a great thing?"
The discussion became more and more frequent, and public opinion gradually turned against him. The magician saw that the situation was not good and spoke out in time.
"This is the first time we've had the puppy on stage. Let's all guess whether the transformation will be successful. Let's wait and see! Next, please invite the puppy into the magic box."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Sheng raised the corners of his lips, revealing a clean smile, and patted Wangcai's back lightly.
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here. Be good, and don't let the master ruin your reputation."
Wangcai seemed to understand what was said and nodded obediently at Lin Sheng, but turned around and yelled at the magician twice.
The magician couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He took two steps back involuntarily, distanced himself from Wangcai, and turned to look at the audience, forcing a smile.
"Next, let us look forward to the miracle happening!"
Once the door is closed, the noise from outside is completely blocked out.
Wangcai looked inside the magic box and smelled a strange smell. At the same time, footsteps were heard outside the box. His ears pricked up instantly and his eyes fixed on the wall of the box. He saw a gap and a figure appeared outside the box.
The unknown smell in the box became stronger, and Wangcai fell down just before the door was opened.
The secret door was completely opened, and a voice was heard.
"Get lost! Why did you send a dog in here? But this fur is pretty nice and can be sold for a good price."
After saying this, the man carried Wangcai away.
The wooden door was opened, and everyone saw with their own eyes that a dog was carried in, its mouth muzzled and locked, unconscious, and was stuffed into an iron cage by a man and locked together with Cheng Xi.
"This dog is very fierce. You better behave yourself, or it might bite you to death."
After saying these harsh words, the man left.
Everyone looked at Cheng Xi worriedly and couldn't help but sweat for him.
As soon as the wooden door closed, Wangcai pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside the door. After making sure that the man had gone far away, he jumped up and ran straight into Cheng Xi's stunned eyes.
Noticing Cheng Xi's hand in mid-air, Wangcai cleverly stretched his head over and rubbed it obediently to show his friendliness.
Feeling Wangcai's intimacy, Cheng Xi immediately felt relieved. He rubbed Wangcai hard and couldn't help asking,
"Dog, you're so cute and pretty, and you're so clean. Do you have an owner? What's your name?"
The question came out of his mouth instinctively, his eyes fell on the locked muzzle, and his eyes dimmed instantly.
"I'm sorry, I forgot. You can't talk. I don't have the key and can't open the lock."
The next second, Wangcai slapped the muzzle open with his paw and immediately unlocked the lock. He was so fast that Cheng Xi didn't have time to react. He jumped into Cheng Xi's arms and licked Cheng Xi's face.
"What a good dog."
On the other side, on the stage, the magic box door was half open, but not a single dog hair could be seen. Everyone in the audience stretched their necks to look.
Lin Sheng felt something was wrong and his eyes dimmed slightly.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the door of the magic box opened wide, and "Wangcai" walked out. As soon as he came out, he trotted in front of Lin Sheng and rubbed against him in a flattering manner.
The magician finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his face, and felt lucky that he hadn't smashed the sign.
"Let us congratulate this beautiful lady on her successful puppy transformation! This is also the first time we've transformed a pet since we started our troupe. Please give us some encouragement so we can keep up the good work!"
Amidst thunderous applause and cheers, Lin Sheng put the dog leash back on "Wangcai" and returned to the audience.
Noticing the expression on Lin Sheng's face, Xu Guannan's eyes showed confusion, and he felt that it was difficult to tell whether the Wangcai in front of him was real or fake.
After a while of intimacy, Wangcai did not forget the main business. Under the envious eyes of others, Wangcai actually nimbly crawled out of the iron cage.
The children were stunned for a moment and rubbed their eyes in disbelief. When they opened their eyes again, they saw Wangcai had once again entered the iron cages of other people and started to play intimately with other children one by one.
After everyone present was satisfied, Wangcai swaggered open the door and walked out. Before leaving, he turned around and glanced at Cheng Xi.
"Good dog, my friend Axun got sick and was taken away. I don't know where he is now. Can you help me find him and then bring people to rescue us?"
Wangcai nodded at him and ran away.
The moment Wangcai left, the wooden door closed quietly, and the chain on the door was intact.
After recording Cai Qianxun's breath in the iron cage, Wangcai found a boy in a simple tent. The boy was lying on a white stretcher with water hanging on his hand.
After recognizing the boy's identity, Wangcai jumped onto the bed, woke him up, and pulled him out.
The magic show ended quietly. The two walked out of the theater and sat in the car in a corner where no one paid attention to them. Xu Guannan looked at Wangcai.
"Don't look at it, it's fake."
Lin Sheng answered directly and snapped his fingers very skillfully. The "Wangcai" in front of him instantly turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated into the air.
While Xu Guannan was puzzled, a pale boy suddenly appeared outside the car window, with Wangcai standing at his feet.
Wangcai looked at Lin Sheng with an arrogant look on his face, as if asking for credit.
This time Xu Guannan understood that the one in front of him was the real Wangcai.
Lin Sheng opened the back door and let the man and the dog in, but the boy suddenly closed his eyes and fell forward.
The incident happened suddenly. Lin Sheng grabbed the boy and held his hand in time. Feeling his abnormal body temperature, he quickly helped him into the car.
"He's not in good condition, go to the hospital!"
Night falls as expected, and the night is accompanied by peace and tranquility, with undercurrents hiding under the moonlight.
Cheng Yanchu always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind these two days, but she could not find anything unusual. The only variable at home was "Cheng Xi".
"Mom, do you think Xiaoxi is weird?"
Shen Qingru was so absorbed in the TV series that she didn't care what Cheng Yanchu said. Instead, she looked proud.
"What's so strange about that? Your grades on this monthly exam have improved a lot. You've really been studying hard. You've even been helping me with housework lately. But you, on the other hand, stay in your room all day like a nerd. How thick are your glasses?"
Seeing that Shen Qingru had gone off topic, Cheng Yanchu interrupted and said,
"Mom, do you really think a magic trick can change Xiaoxi's nature?"
Shen Qingru retracted her gaze and looked at Cheng Yanchu.
"What's wrong with you today? Did you quarrel with Xiaoxi again? Other people's children can become excellent, and it's not impossible for Xiaoxi to come to his senses overnight. You've been too suspicious lately. Aren't you happy for Xiaoxi now?"
"Of course I'm happy, but I'm afraid he's just pretending. Maybe there's something fishy going on."
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Cheng Yanchu.
"Sister, reading at night hurts your eyes. Eat some fruit to supplement your vitamins."
Cheng Yanchu was startled and turned around suddenly, looking at "Cheng Xi" with horror. His movement was too big and he accidentally knocked over the fruit plate in the other person's hand. The fruit rolled all over the floor and the ceramic plate shattered in an instant.
Shen Qingru's view was blocked, so she couldn't see what happened at all. She only vaguely saw that Cheng Yanchu reached out and knocked over the fruit plate. She couldn't help but frowned and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
"Xiaochu, why are you so startled? The fruit Xiaoxi kindly brought you is wasted."
Cheng Yanchu looked at her in confusion, his face full of innocence.
Cheng Xi spoke at the right time.
"Sister, please move aside and let me clean it up."
Seeing the calm expression on his face, Cheng Yanchu suddenly felt unhappy, and his words were filled with hidden anger.
"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, the fruit wouldn't have fallen. I could have done it myself without you. This fruit can still be eaten after washing it. Why can't it be eaten now?"
As he spoke, Cheng Yanchu squatted down and picked up the fruit on the ground, but he noticed that the fruit was soaked with juice. He picked up a piece and put it to his nose, sniffing it carefully.
"I'm allergic to mangoes, why did you add mango juice to the fruit?"
Cheng Yanchu would suffer from throat inflammation and inability to speak if he ate just a little mango, and in severe cases, it could even lead to acute asthma.
Upon discovering this, Cheng Yanchu rushed to Shen Qingru with the fruit and angrily accused her,
"Mom, he actually added mango juice to the fruit. You all know I'm allergic to mangoes. I think he did it on purpose!"
Shen Qingru obviously didn't expect Cheng Xi to make such a mistake, and her face was a little serious.
"Xiao Xi, this is your fault. Xiao Chu can't eat mangoes. Even if you're kind enough to give me some fruit, you should remember this."
After saying a few words, he turned around to appease Cheng Yanchu.
"Xiaochu, your brother didn't do it on purpose. He might have just forgotten for a moment. He will definitely not do it again next time."
With these two sentences, Cheng Xi's crime was carelessly covered up. Cheng Yanchu's face was unhappy, which made her more suspicious.
In the middle of the night, I fell asleep and the moonlight poured in through the window. It was quiet and peaceful, but there was something weird about every corner of the city.
Cheng Yanchu felt thirsty in the middle of the night, so he got up and went to the living room to get a glass of water. He was afraid of waking up others, so he was particularly careful in his movements.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard rustling sounds from the kitchen.
Someone is coming in!
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of metal collision. A golden light flashed through Cheng Yanchu's mind. His throat tightened and he didn't dare to think too much. He leaned against the wall and stuck half of his head out.
A familiar figure appeared in the field of vision, with a faint light shining from his chest. In his right hand, he held a 15-centimeter-long kitchen knife. The light flashed across the blade, and a sharp cold light flashed.
Cheng Yanchu broke out in a cold sweat on her back. She instinctively felt that the knife would stab into their bodies. The blade was stained dark red. She couldn't help but gasp, but accidentally bumped her head against the wall, making a "bang" sound. For a moment, her heart was in her throat.
Cheng Yanchu didn't have time to see the other party's reaction. His brain responded directly and he slipped back into the room and locked the door.
Cold sweat broke out on his back, and Cheng Yanchu leaned against the door, breathing rapidly.
