Chapter 135: The Calf Runs (Part I)

When he arrived at Augusta, Qin Yi found that there were indeed more pedestrians on the street than usual, dragging his family and his family, and walking all the way to the competition venue near the livestock market.

The crowd is gathered here, and the means of transportation are even more varied, Qin Yi observed, there were horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, tractors, pickup trucks, etc., and what was even more strange was a white old man, driving a four-wheeled motorcycle, and a cartoon train was pulled behind, and there were several boys and girls sitting in it, and they lined up for a long time!

Seeing this strange motorcycle train, everyone couldn't help but look at it twice, and inevitably laughed a few words, and some who were familiar with the old man laughed and joked. The children on the train can sit on the new train and enjoy the worship of everyone!

Not to mention, the adults are just watching, and other children are envious, Angel and Betsy also stared wide-eyed, as if they wanted to sit on it and try it.

"Alright, girls, Uncle will go buy one another day and play with you." Qin Yi coaxed the two little girls to smile, hugged his head and kissed him.

Walker and Ryan knew a lot of people, and Qin Yi was more or less a celebrity in Augusta, and there were quite a few people who greeted them along the way, and a few people greeted each other happily, which made both parties very happy.

A few people drove the ox cart, walked slowly with the crowd, and after a while, they arrived at the arena, looking for a place to park the ox cart, and Qin Yi observed the venue. This is the small square in front of the livestock market, which has been set up at this time, with a 100-meter-long track separated by 10 meters in the square, with 10 calves participating in each round of the group stage, and the top two advance to the next round.

At this time, both sides of the track were already full of people, adults gathered together in twos and threes to laugh, children in groups, discussing which calf was good-looking and strong, Qin Yi roughly judged that there were two or three thousand people near the entire arena, accounting for three percent of the residents of Augusta Town!

You can also see a few small town policemen patrolling, but the number of police officers who are less than ten people is very insignificant compared to these two or three thousand people, but fortunately, everyone is very well-behaved, the scene is lively but not chaotic, and there are also some spontaneous masses to help maintain order, so that the work of the police is not as busy as imagined.

Susa and some other women with two children watched on the side, and Qin Yi and the three of them greeted familiar and unfamiliar people, and led the calf to the pre-game preparation area to draw numbers for the upcoming game, which will determine the order of the calf's play.

Qin Yi followed the example of Walker and Ryan, patted the calf's neck, touched the cow's face, and whispered some words of encouragement and comfort, whether he could understand it or not, this attitude made the calf who had never seen such a big scene relax a lot. It's just that Qin Yi led two cows, Xiaohua Niu and Xiaoheniu, which is twice as much work as others!

At this time, Mayor Marcus came over with a middle-aged police officer, and Marcus greeted everyone along the way, making a small joke from time to time, or teasing a certain participating calf, showing good communication skills.

The two went straight to Qin Yi's side, and Qin Yi glanced at Walker and Ryan suspiciously, not knowing what the situation was.

"Don't worry, Yi, that's the town sheriff Gerald, I should have come to meet you." Walker patted Qin Yi's shoulder and explained.

Qin Yi wasn't worried, but he was a little confused, after listening to Walker's words, he somewhat understood, this sheriff should have asked Marcus to be an introducer and come to know him. He has always been honest, so naturally he has not had the opportunity to deal with the police and officials, but he used to know two police officers, but unfortunately he was still from Great Falls.

"Aha, Yi, you're here for the competition too! I asked Ryan about this before, and it seems that Ryan told you. Marcus smiled and walked up to shake Qin Yi's hand.

"yes, it's a lot of fun."

Marcus was very happy to listen to Qin Yi's words, interesting, good, although this competition is a tradition, but he has organized it in the past two years, at least it can show that he, the mayor of the town who has not received much practical benefits, still has some ability!

"Yi, let me introduce you, this is the sheriff of the town, Sheriff Gerald."

Qin Yi looked at Gerald with a smile, and the other party immediately smiled and said: "Hello, Yi, all the police officers in our town are committed to safeguarding everyone's legitimate rights and interests, and everyone's supervision is welcome!" ”

"Hello, Sergeant Gerald, I'm sure the officers will be able to keep the town safe." Qin Yi complimented, he somewhat understood what the other party meant, was this expressing his attitude to himself, a rancher who was a little worthy?

I heard that Lao Mei's side, the sheriff will increase the protection of the rich in the jurisdiction, and the slightest sign of threatening the legitimate rights and interests of the rich must be immediately pinched, because the rich have all kinds of relationships, and it is very important to have a good relationship with the rich, whether it is to be promoted or to maintain stability in the jurisdiction.

Qin Yi was very satisfied with Gerald's attitude, and he could avoid some trouble in the future, and Gerald was naturally very happy with Qin Yi's words, their work had to be affirmed by the rancher who had some words in the town, and that was also a matter of light on his face.

Qin Yi saw that everyone was a calf to compete, and only he led two of them, and he didn't know if it was allowed, "Marcus, can each person only have one cow to compete?" ”

Marcus glanced at the two calves led by Qin Yi, and explained with a smile: "That's not it, there are no rules in this competition, the only rule is that the calves under 6 months old, but everyone is used to bringing a cow to the competition, it doesn't matter if you have two cows here, when the numbers are drawn, register someone else's name." ”

Qin Yi thought about it, this is a good idea, it was originally a calf of two girls, and it happened to be registered in the names of Angel and Betsy.

The two sides chatted for a while, and the atmosphere was very pleasant, but the game was about to start, Marcus still had to organize the scene, and Gerrard also had to command the 7 or 8 police officers under him to maintain order in the arena, so they all walked away. Qin Yi followed Walker and Ryan to the stage to draw numbers, Angel's little black cow was in the fifth group, and Betsy's little flower cow was in the seventh group, a total of ten groups, and the ranking was not bad.

The time was about the same, 8 referees came to the stage, causing the crowd to laugh, Qin Yi glanced at a few referees, and couldn't help laughing, because the 8 referees were all children, the youngest was only 2 or 3 years old, and he was still biting a lollipop in his mouth, looking left and right curiously, the oldest was only 8 or 9 years old, grinning, revealing one less front tooth!

Qin Yi understands, no wonder he said that this game is just a joke, even the referee is so casual, how can the game not become an ode to joy!

Walker and Ryan also laughed, but there was no surprise on their faces, it seemed that they had expected it a long time ago. Sure enough, Ryan looked at Qin Yi, who was happy, and explained, "See, Yi, this competition is to let everyone get together and have a good time, it's very casual!" ”

Qin Yi nodded, looked at the 8 children in the referee's seat sitting seriously with smiles or small faces, and thought that the game was about to start. After a while, Marcus took the stage to speak, and the residents in the audience fell silent, giving Marcus the respect he deserved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our annual 'Maverick Run' at Augusta is about to begin, and this year, we will be judging the fastest Maverick of the year under the witness of eight competent judges! But look at our contestants, wow, they are all sturdy calves, it seems that if you want to decide the winner, you have to go through a fierce battle for it! ”

Marcus danced on the stage, jumping on the ground, and his saliva splashed, and everyone in the audience felt that their ears were bombed, hoping that this old guy would go down quickly, they didn't come to see Marcus, the old guy, spitting on stage!

"Well, one last word, our competition will be fully videotaped and photographed by our most professional photographers." Marcus stretched out his hand and pointed to a few elementary school students in the audience holding DVs and Polaroids, and several children immediately waved to everyone, indicating that they were the most professional photographers in the legend, and made everyone laugh!

"We're going to upload it online after the game, and if Obama sees it, maybe he'll expect us to have him as a referee next year!" Haha, okay okay, the game is officially on! ”

The crowd cheered, and they didn't know whether to give Marcus face, or to celebrate that the long-awaited game was finally about to begin!
