Volume 1: Only One Encounter in a Lifetime Chapter 184: The Battle on the Hippodrome
Tie Ming finished explaining the rider and returned to the rostrum.
It was a quiet place, everyone sat quietly and waited for the game to begin, some gentlemen talked softly, some held binoculars to watch the situation on the field, and some leisurely listened to the birdsong on the branches. Ladies fan elegantly with small fans, sip tea, or fill hats and plackets.
No one would have known about the battle that took place in the backfield at this moment, let alone the fight that took place in Shanghai at this time. These battles are far more interesting than the races on the racecourse.
Dalin grabbed a purple sand teapot, poured half a pot of tea with the spout in his mouth, put it down, looked at the watch, and the time was almost up.
"Uncle."
Just as he was thinking about it, Tie Ming came up, walked up to him, and called him. Dalin looked up, asked him to sit down, and asked him softly:
"Okay?"
"Okay."
Dalin was very satisfied when he heard this, and the person leaned back, spread out his robe, sat on one leg instead, and said with a smile:
"Tie Ming, I don't have to worry about you."
Tie Ming nodded slightly, and said to Dalin that he would go down to find Qin Xin. Dalin nodded and let him go, leaving himself in the seat and waiting for the game.
Qin Xin has been anxiously waiting, his stomach is attached to the railing, his eyes are staring directly at the field, waiting for the moment when the "Snow Fairy" he has ridden is on the field, waiting for the moment when he jumps over the finish line, waiting for the moment when he is hung up with a red ribbon medal, those wonderful moments can not be missed! Dalin was afraid that his daughter would be damaged by the sun, so he asked the maid to put on a big sun umbrella to cover the young lady.
"Refreshed."
"Brother Tie Ming, you're here."
Tie Ming stood in the shadow of the sun with his backlight, and the light radiated from behind him, making his whole person look sunny. Qin Xin beckoned him to come down and watch with him.
Tie Ming smiled slightly, walked down briskly, stood beside Qin Xin, stretched out his arms, supported the guardrail, hooked his feet, and shook his legs slightly.
"Brother Tie Ming, why have you been there for so long? Are there a lot of people buying tickets? ”
"Oh, a lot of people, a lot of people, waiting in line for a long time!"
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Xin took out a handkerchief from his pocket, grabbed his arm, stood on tiptoe, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Tie Ming trembled for a while, and motioned for her father to sit behind Qin Xin.
"Strange, can't I wipe your sweat? I want to kiss you! ”
Tie Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand to block her and said:
"Don't be so refreshed, there are so many people, pay attention to the influence."
"It's boring, it's not as fun as horse racing."
Qin Xin turned his head to ignore him, and Tie Ming looked into the distance, thinking about something.
When I just went to buy tickets, I saw so many people, all of them frantically buying tickets for ticket exchange and refund, as if gambling was a gambling life, as if they were poisoned, thinking that a small bait could catch a big fish, and thinking that a white wolf could be set empty-handed.
Bet on horses, how crazy people are, how fast the horse has to run. Money is whipped into a horsewhip, and it whips the horse more than a cow's tendon whip. But the horse doesn't know the meaning behind his running, everything is dominated by people, more precisely, power and money - the world is rotten.
Tie Ming was deeply disgusted, and he couldn't imagine that he had become an accomplice, gambling on horses and buying horses for such an obscene behavior...... Tie Ming frowned, feeling uneasy, and looked at Qin Xin beside him, shocked by her excitement: how could she still be so excited, so happy?
"Qinxin, I said, we can't play next time."
Qin Xin glanced at him, thinking that he was verbose and mother-in-law, and came to teach himself a lesson, curled the corners of his mouth, and said in a long voice:
"Got it, my brother."
Tie Ming grabbed her arm and told her to "be serious." Qin Xin shook his arm impatiently and replied:
"I know, I know, what's wrong with betting on horses, look at you, if the 'Snow Fairy' wins once, I won't bet, okay?"
Qin Xin's nonchalant expression angered Tie Ming. He wanted to tell her what he had just done, he hadn't gone to buy a ticket, he had gone to buy a horse, he had cheated. The "Snow Fairy" he bought later will definitely win, but it is very disgraceful.
Tie Ming moved his mouth and wanted to say it several times, but when he thought that Dalin could see it clearly on the rostrum, and he would see his slightest movements, he had to hold back and not say anything. Qin Xin was in high spirits, waiting for the "Snow Fairy" to play.
The two of them just stood cold and hot, thinking that they didn't understand each other.
After a while, the "Snow Fairy" came on the field. I saw that its hair was scrubbed snow-white like the mutton fat jade, shining with a warm light under the scorching sun. The mane on the back is neatly combed, like the eyelashes of a beautiful woman, long and smooth, fluttering and lodging in the wind, which is fascinating to watch.
The referee came out to introduce the players, which drew a burst of cheers from the audience.
"Fairy in the Snow" is quite reasonable, hearing the cheers of the crowd, shaking the long neck, shaking the mane on the neck, dreamy like a reed in the sun, and all kinds of tenderness are even more self-evident.
As soon as Qin Xin saw the "Snow Fairy", he was so excited that he raised his arms and cheered, shouting "Come on, come on." The voice was so loud that it overshadowed the introduction of the loudspeaker. Xu was too close to each other, and the others in the stands could only hear the little lady's loud shouts, and they were so noisy that they sat down one after another, trying to find a quiet place to watch the game.
Tie Ming reminded her, Qin Xin avoided him, and still shouted:
"Come on! Come on! Snow fairy! Snow fairy! ”
Jumping and jumping, he was happy like a little sparrow, completely ignoring the reactions of the people in the stands behind him. These so-called gentlemen and ladies pretend to be polite, but their hearts are actually the same, and those who bet are eager to shout and drive their horses to the first.
But an inexplicable force pressed them to their seats, like building a five-finger mountain to control them, years of cultivation told them that they must not lose their temper in public, and must control their emotions, especially agitated emotions.
After every game, there are people who leave the pitch and don't know what to do. What you see in front of you, what you say in your mouth, and what you think in your heart are not the same thing. The more upright the person sits, the more he will disguise. Looking at the bright clothes and head, every move is elegant and noble, and his heart has long been like a pool of old water, dead and stinky, not worth mentioning.
Tie Ming sighed again, looked at the "Snow Fairy" fixedly, and his heart also raised his throat, not knowing if this "Snow Fairy" could run first. Tie Ming also fell into the tense atmosphere of the competition like Qin Xin.
At this time, a "bang" gunshot, and the game began.
The horses in the field neighed, raised their front hooves, shook their heads high, raised their hooves under the whip of the rider, and flew off the starting line. Grass clippings were splashing, dust was flying, and in an instant they were all out of the way.
This can only be seen in the Mongolian steppes. Life, momentum, speed and passion are intertwined and collided, converging into a legend and forming a charming landscape.
Qin Xin looked at the "fairy in the snow" with all his attention, his eyes followed its figure, raised the ribbon in his hand and waved, his voice was about to burst, and he straddled the guardrail with one leg apart, his hands were clasped, his stomach was tightly pressed, and his upper body was lying forward, and half of the person leaned out of the guardrail.
Tie Ming can't see it, this presumptuous appearance, dangerous posture, is she or not?
"Qinxin, okay, you stand up and look, it's too dangerous."
Tie Ming waved her hand to let her come down as she spoke, Qin Xin was so excited, her mind was all on the "Snow Fairy", she didn't notice Tie Ming at all, and she wanted to step on it again, so that she could see higher and farther.
"Refreshment, come down!"
Tie Ming shouted to her again, hugged her waist, and wanted to take her down, but Qin Xin refused to let go, and clinged to the railing like a creeper, and couldn't move.
"Can't get down?"
"I'm not coming down!"
Tie Ming's hand was pushed down, but his strength was no match, his hand was a little loose, and he hugged it violently at the moment he was about to get out of the railing, and he was more energetic than Tie Ming. This little girl, die! Tie Ming was afraid that something would happen, so he had to persuade her:
"You come down first, it's too dangerous, I'll carry you on your back."
"Okay!"
Qin Xin jumped down happily and waited for Tie Ming to carry her. Tie Ming pursed his lips, so he had to squat down and sit on half of his shoulder unceremoniously.
"Sit tight and don't move."
Tie Ming said, holding Qin Xin's waist with both hands, stepping down on the ground, and slowly getting up. Qin Xin seems to be lighter again, and he is losing weight again? Don't want to eat well?
"Have you eaten well these days? Chicken, duck and fish should be eaten, melons, fruits and vegetables should also be eaten, don't blindly pick and choose what you like to eat, do you know if it is not nutritious? ”
"It's a lot of trouble, I'm still watching the game!"
"Don't listen."
"Nasty!"
Qin Xin pouted angrily, thinking that he was ruining his mood to watch the game, so he took off his hat and put it on his head to play.
"You little lady, put it back on me, you can play with my hat."
"Hey, hey, fun."
Qin Xin grabbed the brim of his hat, turned it twice in his hand, buckled it on his head, and said goodbye:
"You still wear a hat on such a hot day, don't you think your head is hot and stuffy, just to look good?"
Tie Ming smiled and didn't speak.
There was now only one lap left in the three-lap race, and Snow Fairy and another dark horse went head-to-head. Qin Xin stretched his neck, and his heart rose to his throat. When the two of them passed the rostrum again, Qin Xin burst out with a shout and waved his fist to cheer for the "Snow Fairy".
Tie Ming's eyes also moved with the "Snow Fairy", and his heart tightened. It's hard to decide the outcome of this last lap, what's wrong? Rewarded and rewarded, scared and frightened, dare not obey orders?
"Snow Fairy" has already run and snorted, and the person on his back can see that he is also working hard, why is he still being chased by a dark horse? This black star is coming at you, isn't it? Who bet on you? Dare to grab the color head of the "Snow Fairy"?
