Chapter 170: Gu Worm Zhai (II)
Su Ke saw Zhong Huan looking disapproving of the crickets, so he said, "Don't underestimate the crickets, there are many doorways here." Although the crickets are small, they are unstoppable compared to fights, and absolutely every fight is a life-and-death fight. ”
"Senior Sister Su, this life-and-death fight is true, but what are the benefits of this for improving martial arts?" Zhong Huan asked confusedly.
"Xingyi Fist has clouds: intentionally do not bring shape, belt shape will not win. This means to tell you that the meaning of the word form is more important than the form. Let you see fighting crickets is not to let you see the shape of crickets, but to figure out the artistic conception of crickets fighting for life and death. This is the safest way I've ever found to ascend to the realm. Su Ke explained.
"In that case, we don't have to look at crickets! Isn't cockfighting and dog fighting the same? What's more, there is a chicken shape in the twelve shapes, isn't it better to watch cockfighting? Zhong Huan asked by inference.
"You're right! The chicken-shaped four does have the meaning of imitating two chickens fighting, and watching the cockfight is indeed good for figuring out the artistic conception of the chicken shape. However, this season is a good time for cricket fighting, and the cockfighting competitions are relatively few and not intense. Moreover, the cockfighting competitions are all held in the suburbs, not in the city, so it is not convenient to watch. If you're interested, we can find Boss Gu later to find out when there is a game. He is well connected in the market and knows many middlemen. ”
Su Ke nodded and admitted Zhong Huan's statement. The reason why she took Zhong Huan to watch the fighting crickets this time was because the season was suitable and there were more competitions. The second reason is that compared with cockfighting and dog fighting, cricket fighting is not bloody, and Zhong Huan, a newcomer, is easier to accept. Su Ke wanted to wait for Zhong Huan to get used to this competition atmosphere first, and then take him to watch other beast fighting competitions.
The two had already passed through the long alley while they were talking. Zhong Huan estimated the distance they had just walked, and their current position should have exceeded the scope of the pet market.
At the end of the alley was a large wooden door, not like the door of a room, but like the gate of a courtyard. In front of the door, there are not only high thresholds, but also two piers, one on the left and one on the right. There was a faint shout of excitement coming from inside the door.
Su Ke came to the door and knocked on the door a few times rhythmically. The wooden gate makes a "do-do~" sound. Soon a uniformed security guard opened the door and let the two in.
Zhong Huan was taken aback as soon as he entered the door, because behind the gate that seemed to be the courtyard gate was not a spacious courtyard, but another passage. It's just that this passage has a roof on it, which is a bit like an entryway. There is a security machine on one side of the passage, and it seems that it will take one more time to enter the "backyard" that Su Ke said.
Su Ke took out the license plate from the bag when he stored his mobile phone, shook it in front of the security guard who opened the door, and then put the bag on the security checkpoint and passed the security check. Zhong Huan followed her example, and also took out the number plate in his pocket and showed it to the security guard. The security guard led the two to another door behind the entrance and pushed the door open.
The security guard pushed the door, and Zhong Huan suddenly had a feeling that the mountains and rivers were poor and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village. There is really a hole in this door, and a spacious hall that is not inferior to the lobby of a five-star hotel appears in Zhong Huan's sight.
Just now in the alley and the entrance, Zhong Huan vaguely heard the sound of people in the house. Now when he entered this hall, which Su Ke called "backyard", he found that the soundproofing of this hall was really good. Because the sound inside the house was ten times louder than the sound heard outside.
Zhong Huan looked around and found that the scene of fighting crickets in front of him was completely different from what he had in his impression. The guests in the hall are not mainly white-haired retired elderly people, nor are they lively and cute children, but young and middle-aged people as the main group. Most of them had a special mobile phone of the kind provided by Boss Gu in their hands, and they glanced at it or fiddled with it a few times from time to time.
Looking through the crowd in the hall, Zhong Huan could see that a ring-sized open space was enclosed with a fence in the middle of the hall. There are high-end mahogany tables and chairs in the open space, and a transparent plastic bucket basin is placed in the middle of the table, and on both sides of the bucket are cricket jars, cricket covers, weeds, cages and other utensils, and some Zhong Huan can't name them.
Next to these various utensils, there is a large table lamp shining on the bucket, and next to the table lamp there is a very professional camera to shoot at close range. The footage captured by the camera is simultaneously displayed on four large screens hanging above the tables, ensuring that the audience in the hall can enjoy the cricket fight regardless of distance from the ring.
"Senior Sister Su, this is too professional!"
Zhong Huan's impression of fighting crickets is still at the level of a few bare-bottomed children lying on the ground and casually looking for a chicken claw to poke the crickets' buttocks, but he didn't expect that fighting crickets are so high-tech now.
"Unprofessional, are they embarrassed to charge 200 tickets? Let's go, while we haven't started yet, let's go have a drink first. Su Ke said and led Zhong Huan to the hall.
Zhong Huan went around the ring and came inside, only to find that there was a bar in the hall, and there were sofa chairs for people to rest all around the hall, and the audience could order some drinks at the bar, and then sit on the chairs and quietly enjoy a wonderful cricket fight. But Zhong Huan found that no one sat down in the arena at all, and they all tried to stand close to the central ring, staring closely at the table or the big screen above their heads.
"Give me your number plate. Each license plate can be exchanged for a bottle of drink under 10 yuan at the bar. Therefore, what we pay when we enter the door is called water money, not tickets. This water is also not drunk for nothing, what do you want to drink? Su Ke asked Zhong Huan.
"Just drink mineral water."
Zhong Huan looked at the drinks under ten yuan, except for mineral water, which were small bottles of Coke and Sprite. Because Zhong Huan likes to practice martial arts, he usually pays attention to his body and does not drink carbonated drinks, so he asked for mineral water.
"Two bottles of mineral water. Did you just fight? How's the battle going? Su Ke also asked for a bottle of mineral water, and then chatted with the barboy in the bar.
The young barboy in a small vest didn't want to take care of her when he heard that Su Ke only ordered free mineral water. But when she saw that Su Ke was a beautiful woman with an explosive figure, she became interested and began to introduce the battle situation just now.
"Beauty, you're here today. I've already fought two fights just now, one at 6.5 and one at 7. The barboy said excitedly.
Zhong Huan knew that the boy was talking about the weight of the cricket. When he was a child, he didn't play with crickets at all, and a few children caught something and fought something. However, according to the rules, cricket fighting is also in the same weight class as boxing and sanda. Some places use centimen as a unit, and some places use pour, and there are also some useful points. These three names are three different units of measurement, and one gram weighs 10.8 centi, 8.5 cents, and 232.5 points.
