The U.S. national anthem is divided into four stanzas, but in most cases only the first stanza is sufficient.

Four fairly young cowgirls, with loud voices and full of energy, the lyrics are to the effect: Ah, what do you see that makes us so proud at the first dawn of dawn? Whose banner is always held high in the fierce battle with joy at the last light of dawn......

Han Xuan didn't have much sense of identity with this, and so did other people nearby.

Old Patton muttered that there was no such thing decades ago, it was all a face-saving project done by the town government of Augusta.

In fact, he said: "Damn moths! This is a waste of taxpayers' precious time! There is not much time left to live, and it is still being spent on such meaningless things! Curse you!"

The boy automatically filtered into the words that he was familiar with in his previous life, it seemed that everywhere was the same, the smell of fried chicken and hot dog mixed in the air, sniffing his nose, Han Xuan leaned on the railing in front of the box and leaned forward.

Good fellow, Gonzalez in the box next door was like a party, preparing food piled up on the table, counting seven or eight bottles of champagne, loudly inviting the women passing by in front of him.

He is not married yet, Aunt Kelly once said that Gonzalez's private life is a bit of a mess Han Xuan paused, and continued to think, it seems that it is not groundless.

Gonzalez was busy beckoning to the young woman on the side of the road, smiling at the other party on his handsome face, he saw the boy, walked to the table, took a bucket of KFC chicken nuggets and handed it to Han Xuan.

He said, "I asked my friend to bring it from Great Rapids in the morning, it's still a little hot, can you eat it?"

Augusta is too small for the Kentucky Fried Chicken Company to look down on the town, with only a few "copycat" fried chicken restaurants that local residents have made and are just trying to take over. Gonzalez was found to have retracted his hand.

I was surprised in my heart, reacted, had a slight guess, and looked back, my mother was really here, and she had been keeping junk food out of the door since she was a child. Han Xuanting missed them, and his face suddenly showed pity.

Guo's mother knew that her son was pretending, so she twisted his ear and said kindly: "You are only allowed to eat one piece, do you know?"

Han Xuan's head nodded quickly, seeing that the paper bucket was placed in front of him, he found the largest piece after looking for a long time, and he was afraid that his father would come to grab it, so he quickly bit it into his mouth, and he was not at ease when he got saliva. Quietly stay away from the father who is sick with him......

The old mayor held up the microphone in the middle of the field, and every time he deliberately paused, there was always some sparse applause coming from the stands, and it was not until he finally said that the 96th rodeo would start now, and the audience really applauded him.

The number of cowgirls is too small, and the people who ride horses and carry the national flag and circle around the field are still the ones who sang just now.

The fat host craned his neck and shouted, "Hello everyone! The first event is naked riding! This time, a total of 173 cowboys participated! The prize money for each race has been settled." The champion can get "

"Five thousand two hundred and forty-eight dollars!" he looked at the card in his hand and looked up to continue.

"Sure enough, it hasn't changed. Old Barton snorted. Sit up straight and get ready to watch the game.

Naked riding is riding directly on the back of a smooth horse without a saddle, which is the best test of cowboy skills.

In the distance, the staff helped the contestants sit on horseback, and several people outside the fence held the railing in their hands. Wait for instructions, ready to open at any time.

Twenty people are divided into groups, each time to win the first and second place, and in the final finals, only the first place is won, except for the champion, no one else will have a prize.

There were also five cowboys on the field. Dressed in black, they are tasked with helping to protect the contestants and driving them back to the fence when the horses are finished.

There was a guy who fell down before the game started, Han Xuangang laughed, and found that his parents and John all turned their heads to look at him, crying and whispering, "It won't be our family, right?"

"Well, it's Martinez. ”

Old Barton was expressionless, and after a few seconds, he said: "I will let him sweep the cattle pen for three months......"

Poor Martinez.

The referee had never encountered such a situation, went to the rostrum to discuss for two or three minutes, and decided to give him another chance, Martinez did not know what was waiting for him, so he jumped up with joy and climbed back on the horse, just looking at the posture was quite good.

A staff member of the arena, holding a small yellow flag, looked back, and quickly waved it down when he received the signal.

The iron gate of the fence was immediately opened, and there were several tempered quart horses, writhing and jumping, neighing, trying to shake off the cowboy on their backs.

The cowboys, on the other hand, do their best to keep their balance on bare horses, and ride naked not for speed, but for who lasts longer.

They grasped the reins with one hand and the other in the air, and were not allowed to touch the horses or their bodies.

The cowboys had to sit on the back of a violently shaky horse for eight seconds, and the judges carefully scored them, half of which came from their posture, the other half by how much the horses struggled with jumping, and quite a part by luck.

One by one, the contestants fell off their horses, and some of the unlucky ones, such as Martinez, who was motionless under his ass and had no desire to struggle, the guy screamed in anger and told the referee that the race was unfair.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him, and there were a lot of schadenfreude ridicule, and Anderson and his gang laughed the loudest.

Eight seconds later, five black-clothed cowboys rode horses, came over from both sides to meet the contestants, and dragged the contestants to help them get off the horses, moving freely, Han Xuan could see that they were all very experienced cowboys.

However, a few fierce horses did not give them a chance, and jumped wildly until the contestants were thrown to the ground, and these people did not care about the pain, and hurried away on all fours, and it was not fun to be trampled by the horses' hooves.

As Martinez passed by, the black-clad cowboy tacitly ignored him, and the black lad dismounted helplessly, waving cheekily around, like a victor.

Unexpectedly, the judges gave him a zero score, and an acquaintance was embarrassed and gave him a symbolic score, and Martinez suddenly became a legend in the 96-year history of the competition.

The reporter of the Times newspaper in Augusta Town, gearing up to think of a headline that can be popular, instantly decided that he would be the front page news tomorrow

The next bullfighting competition was very thrilling.

Cowboys have to knock down calves with their bare hands, which typically weigh hundreds of pounds, and it takes a lot of force to bring them down, which is why the game is also known as the "real man's race."

The score depends on the time it takes to chase and take down the calf, the shorter the better.

Six cowboys from Snow Mountain Ranch participated in the competition, and Han Xuan, who only knew Jones, finished fourth in their best place, and the championship was taken away by a sturdy cowboy from Helena City.

The father and son in the box felt pity for this. (To be continued.) )
