"He's going to survive. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kele's answer made Song Lingyi breathe a sigh of relief, "These cattle are specially bred for competition, and if they perform well, they will continue to survive and be used in the next round of competition; However, if the performance is unsatisfactory, it will go straight to the slaughter process. We are not as cruel here as the Spanish bullfighting. ”
Song Lingyi nodded lightly to show understanding, simply put, it is called making the best use of things.
In the case of beef cattle, then the quality of the meat is the most important, and the beginning of the breeding is for the final slaughter, and those unnecessary pity and sympathy are completely unnecessary. More and more members of animal protection associations are calling for a ban on bullfighting in Spain, arguing that it is disrespectful to life, but in reality, there are many different factors that must be taken into account.
Lu Huaijin further asked, "I thought that after every cowboy conference, a beef feast was a must-have for the carnival. ”
"It used to be like this. Fifteen or twenty years ago. "But now that the times have progressed, and people have more entertainment and more food, things have changed." ”
"Whoa, whoa!" The cheers at the scene interrupted their conversation, Lu Huaijin nodded in understanding, and then turned his head with everyone to look over, the second cowboy was ready and about to play.
The host dragged out his voice and introduced, "Let's welcome...... Frank...... Reeves! ”
In an instant, the enthusiasm of all the audience was ignited, cheers and screams were endless, Lu Li also stood up and joined the ranks of everyone shouting, and some even took the lead in shouting a whistle, "Fran! Fran! Lu Li also waved his right fist and shouted loudly together, "Fran! ”
Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin looked at their sons who were lively and coaxing, and then looked at the other people who stood up one after another, and the two of them also stood up and raised their right hands high, they were a little restrained at first, but they quickly let go of their hands and feet and joined the ranks of everyone to support.
It can be seen that Frank is definitely one of the favorites today.
When the black bull came out of the gate, all the shouts on the scene turned into screams, "Ahhhh Everyone cheered for Frank, I don't know if it was the earth-shattering cheering sound that scared the black bull, his jumping and struggling was obviously not as strong as the black bull in the first game. Amid the cheering, Frank sat firmly on the back of the ox, seemingly unchallenged.
Such a steady posture angered the black bull, and the action began to be intense, which not only did not make everyone nervous, but the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and the screams were endless. Lu Li couldn't help but feel the sweat oozing from his palm, and finally saw Frank being thrown out like a rag bag, but he also skillfully rolled on the spot twice and stood up again.
Thunderous applause!
"Cole, is this a better performance?" Lu Li couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"It's up to the judges." Cole shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression, "Actually, because this cow is less bumpy, although Fran holds on longer, he may not be able to get a higher score." However, each cowboy's cow is random, which requires a little bit of luck, so all things considered, Fran's results should be good, and there will be no problem getting into the second round. ”
Cole turned his head, and then saw that Alice, Fred and the others standing next to him also had question marks on their faces, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "If you continue to look, you can probably find the feeling." ”
As Cole said, after the comparison, the gap gradually became apparent, and everyone gradually saw some ways in the next game. However, it is far from being able to identify who is the favourite. Fortunately, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, and those things that select the champion are left to the professional judges.
There are 24 competitors in the bareback bullfight, and half of them will be eliminated tonight, with only 12 players making it to tomorrow night's race. Lu Li and Song Lingyi's bets all passed tonight's match, retaining their hopes of competing for the title, which is a gratifying start.
After a short break before the start of the second event, everyone decided to join in the fun, bet a little change, and participate in the feast tonight. Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin joined everyone and went to join in the fun, Lu Li did not follow this time, but stayed in place to help everyone occupy a position.
After a while, five cowgirls appeared on the stage again, carrying a flag marked with Arabic numerals "2" around the field, announcing the official start of the second competition.
Two people ride out of the field to chase a calf, one person uses a rope to set the horns, and the other is responsible for using the rope to cover the hind feet, to see which group is the first to complete these actions; The same is true for the ensuing one-man lasso, except that one person trips the calf with a rope and then dismounts to tie the calf's four legs, and the winner is the shortest.
This is a daily situation on the ranch, where sometimes the calf runs out alone, or in the process of buying and selling, the naughty calf needs to be brought to the truck, which requires the cowboys to go into battle and complete the set of cattle in this way. It can be said to be a very basic and performative skill in cowboy skills.
In this competition, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi did not have any obstacles, and they also discussed with Cole with great interest - who of the four cowboys on the ranch was the most skilled, and everyone finally came to the unanimous result of Brandon. Brandon was originally one of the contestants who served as a cattle set, and his ability should not be underestimated; And he is also the most skilled at handling horses, and the work can be said to be completely familiar to him.
The ensuing horse fight pushed the atmosphere to a climax, which was a very retro sport.
To put it simply, it is a sport that has been inherited from the ancient techniques used to train wild horses. When people hunt a wild horse, they often need to tame the horse in a bareless state, tame the violent wildness of the wild horse, so that the horse can bow its head, and similar plots can often be seen in martial arts novels, wild horses are much more dangerous than saddled bullfighting, on the one hand, the bumps are more severe, on the other hand, the speed is faster, a careless, it is very likely to break the neck, only a really clever horseback rider can be competent for this heavy task.
However, now that it has developed into a sport, the danger has been much reduced, and the racing horses are not true wild horses, but horses that are not fully tamed; And the organizers will wear a saddle to ensure the safety of the players as much as possible.
Despite this, the fighting horse is by far the most spectacular event.
"Ahh Song Lingyi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and firmly grabbed Lu Li's arm, her brows furrowed tightly, her heart hung high, and her worried expression always lingered. Not to mention Song Lingyi, even Lu Li was completely worried at this time, looking at the cowboy in the field intently.
I saw that his thin body was almost unable to support it, and he grasped the saddle firmly with one hand, for the horse was so violent, and the amplitude of the bumps was so turbulent that his whole back was bent into a bow, and he pressed down so hard that it was almost attached to the horse's back, as if it would be broken if he added a little more strength; But the horses under their crotches showed no sign of peace, and kept arching their heads up and down, and the four hooves of the horses jumped wildly, smashing down like a storm, leaving no room for breathing.
The whole audience was cheering for him, but the danger of life hanging by a thread still showed no signs of lifting, but became more and more terrifying, he was like a small grass in a tornado, trying to grasp the ground with all his strength, but the strength was still too weak, and the huge drop contrast made people frightened and jaw-dropping.
The excitement and danger of the scene are far more turbulent than the opening baddle bullfight, which is terrifying and at the same time, but the blood is boiling, challenging the human limit of the sense of déjà vu, presenting the confrontation between man and nature in such a real and crude way, and at the same time laying out a magnificent picture of the epic of human conquest of nature in front of his eyes. Amazing!
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound in the field, but the subtle sound exploded like thunder, Song Lingyi's muscles tightened, her eyes widened, and she grabbed Lu Li's arm hard, and even the shouts of cheering stopped abruptly, and everyone fell into a terrible short silence.
Lu Li was also stunned in place, the temperature of his brain instantly dropped from the boiling point to the freezing point, and even the conditioned reflex seemed to have lost the mechanism of automatic reaction.
In the silence of the audience, the fierce horse was still roaring and jumping, and the shrill cry tore through the thick of the night, which was terrifying. At that moment, the cowboy who was lying motionless on the horse's back sat up straight again, and struggled to grasp the saddle with his left hand, but even the strength of his hands was not enough to cope with the dragon-like churning force.
"Yay!"
When this scene came into view, there were whistles and cheers in his ears immediately, Lu Li didn't have time to react, the boiling blood drove the muscles of the body to go up, the whole person jumped up directly, raised his arms and cheered, the hearty screams were vented unhindered, Lu Li jumped in place excitedly, and even couldn't help but hug everyone around him warmly, and then shouted to his heart's content, venting all the tension and anxiety just now.
Everyone, every audience at the scene was no exception, everyone stood up and cheered, expressing their inner happiness and joy in such a direct way, and the thunderous shouts echoed in their ears for a long time. But the shouting soon ceased, for the people realized that this was not the end, and that the steed was still churning in high spirits.
crisis, still no contact.
