"You don't know about the drum race? Oh, you are a foreigner, it is normal not to know, the so-called drum race is actually an annual drum meeting held by our locals......

After some introductions by the third sisters, Tang Xiaobao finally had a general understanding of the drum competition.

It turns out that at this time of year, several local villages will gather together.

There is a tradition of drumming in the area, and almost everyone can play the drums, and some people even often participate in some large-scale performances.

The drum competition is a group of young and middle-aged drummers selected from each village to compete with each other.

If anyone plays well and has potential, they will be accepted as a disciple by the older generation of drum kings, and if they are carefully plucked, they will have the opportunity to become the successor of the drum king and become the new drum king in the future.

It seems that there is something else, although the third sister did not say it explicitly, and repeatedly vaguely said it, but Tang Xiaobao still heard it, but the third sister was unwilling to say it, so Tang Xiaobao was inconvenient to ask again.

What surprised him was that the father of the third sister was actually the drum king of the older generation, and he was very prestigious in the local area.

I walked for about half an hour, and the village was outside.

The houses here are all next to caves.

The caves that have been handed down in the past have not been buried, they have all been used, but before the caves, there is often a yard, many homes, and bungalows have been built.

"Here, this is our Lijia Village. ”

The reason why it is called Lijia Village is because more than half of the people in the village are surnamed Li.

Tang Xiaobao was taken to an old cave, and when he opened the courtyard door, the third sister shouted loudly: "My father and my mother, I will bring a distinguished guest to whisper." ”

A row of four caves.

The curtain in the middle was opened, and a couple in their sixties walked out.

They wore white turbans on their heads and had curious looks on their faces.

As soon as I came out, I saw Tang Xiaobao.

Tang Xiaobao slept in the open during this time, but he still maintained his spirit.

Before he came, he deliberately changed his appearance, but it was still somewhat similar to his original appearance.

"Hey, hey, the distinguished guest is here, please sit in the courtyard, go, pour a glass of water for the guest. ”

The old man's surname is Li, his name is Li Zhicheng, and he almost has the same name as a certain celebrity in history.

He was very enthusiastic, and when he beckoned Tang Xiaobao to sit in the yard, he had already asked his wife to pour water.

There was a small table in the courtyard with a plate of red dates on it.

The third sister snatched the backpack from Tang Xiaobao and entered the back room.

Tang Xiaobao sat down, a little embarrassed.

"Haven't asked my brother's name yet?"

Li Zhicheng asked.

Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Uncle, my surname is Tang, my name is Tang Qi, I came here to travel, and I happened to bump into the third sister, she sympathized with me and had no place to live, so she took me back to spend the night, this is my accommodation fee, and I will cause you trouble." ”

As he spoke, Tang Xiaobao took out his wallet, took out a stack of banknotes from it, counted ten of them, and put them in front of Li Zhicheng.

If you break the shop, you naturally have to give some tea money, in Tang Xiaobao's opinion, this is a natural thing.

But Li Zhicheng's face changed, he was a little unhappy, he pushed the money in front of Tang Xiaobao, and said: "What are you talking about, who doesn't have a problem when you go out, I, Li Zhicheng, am not a person who loves money, people come to my house to live as guests, that is, they can afford us, I will accept your money, what is going on?"

Tang Xiaobao hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle, I have caused trouble to you, and it is also appropriate to make a little compensation, you should treat it as a gift that you are filial to you and bought for you." ”

"If you have to take the money, you will stay in my house, which is not a hotel. ”

Li Zhicheng snorted and turned his face to the side.

Khan, Tang Xiaobao was a little embarrassed.

Can't give this money away?

It just so happened that the third sister and her mother came out with water and heard the conversation between the two.

The third sister stuffed the money into Tang Xiaobao's hand and said, "Brother Tang, we never accept money when we come to stay in the village, so you can take it, my father's temper is not good, don't make my father angry." ”

Tang Xiaobao smiled and had no choice but to put the money away.

Li Zhicheng's face softened at this time.

He beckoned Tang Xiaobao to drink water, and asked, "What does Brother Tang do, and where is his home?"

"Oh, I'm a singer, I also do some business, my family lives in Bazhong, Sichuan. ”

"Hey, you also live in Bazhong, Sichuan, and your surname is Tang?"

Li Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Xiaobao with some curiosity.

Tang Xiaobao was a little weak-hearted, and laughed dryly: "Hmm." ”

"Do you think he looks like Tang Xiaobao?"

Li Zhicheng asked the third sister.

The third sister stared at Tang Xiaobao for a while, and nodded: "It's really a bit like it." ”

Tang Xiaobao's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "It just looks a little like himself, many people say so." ”

"My father, Brother Tang sings well. ”

"Really?"

Li Zhicheng is still watching Tang Xiaobao.

Tang Xiaobao said modestly: "Sing casually, don't listen to the third sister's nonsense." ”

Fortunately, Li Zhicheng didn't really suspect anything.

There are more people in the world who look alike......

It's certainly just a coincidence.

After chatting for a while, it was dark.

Dinner was ready.

Dinner was plentiful, all local specialties.

There is bacon, there is mutton......

The only thing that made Tang Xiaobao a little unaccustomed was that it was actually pasta.

Well, he still likes dumplings, with thin skin and meat.

After eating, Li Zhicheng and the third sister accompanied Tang Xiaobao to watch TV and chat.

I don't know how to talk about tomorrow's drum race.

Obviously, Li Zhicheng has a lot of arrogance about playing drums.

It's also easy to understand.

He's the local drum king.

He is also the most important guest and judge of tomorrow's event.

There is only one Drum King, and it is a great honor to be a disciple of the Drum King, but every year, he accepts at most one apprentice, and if there is no suitable candidate, he can not accept it.

"Listen to the third sister, you also want to see the drum race?"

Li Zhicheng asked.

Tang Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, I'm here this time, I'm here to collect style, I don't hide it, I have a song, I need to shoot the MV, I'm here to find a suitable location, it would be better if I could find a group of good drummers, I can ask them to cooperate when I shoot, the price will be set by them, and I will never treat them badly." ”

"Need a drummer?"

Li Zhicheng smiled: "It's simple, I can find someone for you, but do you know how to play the drums?"

Tang Xiaobao said a little modestly: "It's okay, but I'm not proficient." ”

"Ah, Brother Tang, do you know how to play drums, then try playing here, my father is the king of drums, he can still guide you." The third sister was a little excited, and her eyes lit up with suggestions.

Li Zhicheng touched his beard and nodded: "Or you can try it, I'll take a look." ”

Tang Xiaobao's heart moved, and he said, "Okay, does that uncle have drums here?"

As soon as he said this, he blushed.

How could the drum king's house not have drums?

Sure enough, Li Zhicheng laughed and said: "There are all kinds of drums, which one do you want, the third sister, take him to see the drums." ”
