213. The stars of the town
When Mayor Brian announced the start of the celebration, the audience cheered, and he kicked the "Rabbit King" so hard that the "Rabbit King" rolled off the stage and went into hiding in the town with his three "Rabbit Guards".
After the "the Bunny" song, it was Kaibi's turn to sing the lead singer, and Kaibi's appearance caused a small climax.
She was a natural performer, and she sang "TikTok" perfectly, and the people in the audience who could sing shouted along:
Hey, what's wrong?
Put on the black super, get ready to leave, I'm going to the city to party!
Before I go, brush my teeth with Jack Daniel's again, because I don't return all night once I'm away from home.
......
Emperor Wu is looking for the House brothers at the scene, and Frank says that the family never attends the town's celebrations, which may have something to do with their haughty nature.
"If you don't have fun with the people, how can you have the chips to run for mayor?"
"Their chips are money and commitment, and Brian is retiring soon, so I feel like you can give it a try. Uncle Frank said with a smile.
"Don't make a fuss, the ranch alone is enough for me, and besides, I'm not interested in politics at all, and I may not be interested in giving me the position of mayor. ”
After the three opening songs, it will be divided into various sections. Sports are a constant theme in Pelican Town, and no matter what kind of holiday celebration, there will be several sports competitions.
The repertoire of Independence Day is rugby, which has a different standard of rugby than the United States, and is called Australian Rules Football, which is known as Australia's number one sport, the sport of "pure masters".
When it comes to rugby, people first think of American strong men with armor, but Australian rules football is without a guy on the top of the head, and there is basically no protection on the whole body, which is equivalent to running naked with the ball on the field.
This is a real flesh-to-flesh confrontation, purely to grab a ball to fight for your life.
As an Australian town, the Independence Day rugby game is definitely Australian, but everyone won't play too hard, after all, it's all for fun.
One year, the celebration turned into a brawl, and most of the young people on both sides got into an argument with each other, and finally the police took away the players from both sides before it was quelled.
Emperor Wu and Kaibi plan to watch the game first and then follow the crowd to attack the "Rabbit King".
The stadium is located on the west side of the plaza near the parking area, and because of the field, Pelicans' football stadium is much smaller than the regular field, so each team can only play six players.
"See? That brown-haired man is Cole, a former quarterback at Boston University who wanted to stay in the United States to play after graduation, but suffered a serious injury and is now back home to help his father run a ranch. A thick voice said from behind him.
Emperor Wu looked back and saw that Uncle Greg had heard him mention that he also loved to watch rugby.
"His dad is also a rancher?"
Greg smiled and said in his hoarse voice, "Her mother is the bar owner, Maggie. ”
Emperor Wu understood, and it turned out that Cole was the son that Maggie often mentioned.
Maggie has two sons, the eldest son, Clarence, nicknamed "Rooster", who has never left Pelican Town since he was a child, and has been helping his father with the ranch several years ago.
"Hey, Emperor Wu, I know you, the yellow skin is very conspicuous here. Cole, who was warming up, saw Emperor Wu, to be exact, the dazzling Kaibi.
"Hey man, I heard you play rugby very well, I wish you a good result today. ”
"Thank you, to be honest, the ranch of the family is going to be unable to sustain, the loan was not done some time ago, the electricity at home was cut off, and the candles were lit to go to the bathroom at night, it's amazing, right!"
Emperor Wu thought for a moment and said, "You mean, you want to sell the ranch?"
He and Greg looked at each other, waiting for Cole's answer.
"No, no, no, we're sure we'll get through it, in fact, two years ago, the House brothers approached him, and it was even more difficult than it is now, when my dad sold his beloved Chevrolet. Cole smiled easily, at that time he was studying in the United States, the eldest brother Rooster and Dad sold the only car in the family, Maggie couldn't stand it, and gave her separated husband 50,000 Australian dollars, which brought their ranch to life.
"Yes, I've been keeping an eye out for the ranch for sale, and I'll tell you the truth, I urgently need to expand my farm and raise more cattle. Emperor Wu said to Cole.
"I understand, I don't know if you have noticed, the water in Huaxi River has not been very clean recently, in short, the cattle and sheep feel not right after drinking it. ”
Cole's words reminded Emperor Wu that some time ago they also discovered a change in the water of the river, with a layer of oil stars floating on it.
"My cattle drink groundwater, and we are separated from the Huaxi River. Emperor Wu said.
Cole sighed, "The Huaxi River is the only source of water for my family's ranch, and I hope there is no problem with that water." ”
The topic was a little serious, Cole smiled and patted Emperor Wu on the shoulder, "Cool, your girlfriend is very good." ”
"32 years old, you're not married?" asked Greg.
"Actually, I just proposed to my girlfriend AB. Cole said.
"Ab?angelbaby?" asked Emperor Wu.
"Who's that? Actually, her name is Abby. ”
"Oh, that's Abigail. Cabi interjected.
"That's right, Abigail. ”
"Where's your big brother's? I think we can be good friends. ”
"Oh God, she's dating Abby's mother. Cole covered his head with his hands.
This time it was Emperor Wu's turn to be surprised, "In this way, you want to call him father-in-law?"
"Haha, don't even think about it, I'll just call him a bad. Alright man, I'm going to play, we'll talk again when we get a chance. ”
Kerr is a good football player indeed, having been the main quarterback on the college team. Everyone else is an amateur, and the usual idle eggs play with the "real man" olive.
The team with Cole is like a ranch with a big black bull, invincible, and has always kept the other party breathing.
The American-style quarterback can only touch the ball alone after distributing the ball, and the Australian quarterback can pass non-stop after the team's teammates can pass. This gave Kerr more room to perform, and his precise long balls often went straight to the heart of the opposition, drawing cheers from the sidelines.
There was even a time when the opposing team was defending the receiver, and Kerr scored a long-distance touchdown score.
As a result, Kerr's red team won by a big score, and the blue team didn't even have a decent touchdown.
Instead of being upset by the loss, the BLU players ran to Kerr after the game to ask for his autograph and group photo.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning, did he miss the opportunity to take a photo with the best players just now.
Leaving the court, Wu Di and Kaibi are ready to start the main event of the day, joining the team in search of the "Rabbit King".
