Su Qingyu believed that her smile came from the heart.
"What circus secrets do you know?"
The vase girl's voice was weak and hoarse. She said, "I'll tell you a secret. The leader died a long time ago."
"What do you mean?"
The vase girl told Su Qingyu a story about the leader's adult life.
The team leader used to run an orphanage. At that time, the town was not peaceful and there were often wars, which led to many people fleeing.
When they leave, they will donate their children and all their belongings to orphanages to find a way to survive for themselves and their children.
However, the leader accepted their money and their kneeling, and vowed to take good care of their children. Then he turned around and buried their children in a pit in the backyard.
This is a very profitable business.
There is no telling when the war will end.
Those who fled had a narrow escape from death.
The team leader gained both fame and fortune, and was called a great philanthropist by the local people.
"Do you know why the leader has tumors all over his body?" the vase girl asked mysteriously.
Su Qingyu shook his head.
A happy smile appeared on the face of the vase girl: "That's because after the war, some refugees came back.
When the things the team leader had done were discovered, those people cursed him, saying that he had done all kinds of bad things and that he would have sores on his head, pus on his feet, and tumors all over his body, and that he would not die a good death!
The team leader didn't believe this at first and he even laughed at those people for being stupid.
He had prestige in the town. The residents here regarded him as a great man and did not believe what the refugees said.
Not only that, they also said that the refugees were acting against their conscience and wanted to blackmail the group leader.
"Is everyone like this?" Su Qingyu frowned slightly.
Where there are stupid people, there are smart people.
There are people who are blinded by lies, and there are people who see through the lies.
"Some people know about it, but they think it's better to keep their distance, so they just watch quietly from the side." The vase girl paused and lowered her voice, "I think the mouthless bean flour figures in the town are most likely these people."
The residents of this small town only have mouths, and they always talk to themselves.
Some only have eyes and ears, hiding in the dark and spying on everything.
Their eyes are used to seek new and novel things, not to find the truth.
When Su Qingyu first came to the circus, Youyou told Su Qingyu that the circus leader was a very good man who would take in many children who were sold.
The vase girl also revealed the evil deeds done by the team leader in the past.
In Su Qingyu's heart, he is more inclined to judge that the team leader is a bad person.
"Then why did you say that the leader was dead?"
The vase girl leaned her head against the edge of the vase and said, "Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly.
At first, the leader did not take those people's curses to heart and continued to do business at the orphanage, until one day, these curses began to come true on him.
The team leader was very scared and sought help from many experts, but with little success.
Tumors and sores began to grow on the team leader's body. At first, the tumors were only the size of soybeans, but then they grew larger and larger until they became the size of grapefruits.
