Chapter 294: The Game Begins
As soon as the gong sounded in his hand, the whole town immediately became lively, people gathered in the square around the high platform, and four red lanterns were raised on the wooden poles around the high platform in the square, Xiao Yao and the eldest lady also entered the small square with the young men who received the wooden plaques, and each person sat on a chair around the periphery, just one for each person, and the extra chairs were immediately removed, and there was an extra bamboo basket behind each chair.
I saw an old man in a black robe walking to the high platform of the square at this time, and did not speak, but cleared his throat and sang loudly, "Da Mengyo, Da Mengyo, Miao Village men, women and children, let's go, let's go, let's go to see the reed sheng meeting together, let's go to dance the reed sheng dance together."
With the old man's singing, the young men and women around followed the tambourine waist drum, only to see a girl dressed in black, from the black man on the high platform to take a glass of wine, and then throw the bamboo cup towards a man in the field, Xiao Yao knew that this was the first game at the beginning of the drum to pass the wine to the mountain song, only to see that the man seemed to be very familiar with this ceremony, stood up, raised his left hand, and caught the wine glass, but did not drink the water and wine, but sang loudly to the girl in the field, " Lang fights in the high mountains! ”
As soon as the man's singing fell, the girls around him immediately said, "Sister is in the yo river." ”
Then the glass was passed to the next neighboring man, and another song rang out, "Sister Lover." ”
The surrounding girls sang again, "Brother Lover." ”
When it reached the third man, he immediately picked up the tambourine in his hand and sang while beating, "The mountain is high and the water is at the post." ”
The fourth man stood up in turn, picked up the tambourine and sang as he sang, "The song is in the clouds." ”
Every time a man stands up, he has to sing a mountain song, and then the surrounding girls collectively make a chorus.
Soon it was Xiao Yao and the eldest lady, Xiao had to listen to it for a while, and he already understood that this mountain song is four sentences and one paragraph, as long as it is connected to the meaning of the previous text, it is his turn to be the first sentence of the four sentences and the beginning, so he beat the tambourine with his fingers, but he unconsciously used his strength, the drum was extremely loud, and he opened his mouth to sing, "Su Qin said and Liuguo Road." ”
The eldest lady didn't have time to discuss with Xiao Yao what she wanted to sing, and she didn't have time to think too much, but she saw Xiao Yao look at herself after singing, so she had to stand up, glared at him viciously, and then lowered her voice as much as possible, and sang, "The road is far away." ”
With the cheers of the girls around him, the mountain song continued to pass the cup and sing, about a dozen people, and finally there was a young man in a blue robe who couldn't answer the words with a shy face, only to see that he had to drink the wine in the cup, and then turned around and left the circle, and his chair was also taken out together.
The girl in the field took a glass of wine again, and then passed it to the next participating man, the ceremony of passing the wine to the song continued to begin, and saw that someone was eliminated, this time everyone has increased the difficulty of the song, and the speed has become faster, the lyrics are from the love song of men and women, to historical allusions, there are hometown scenery, to the customs, everything, from time to time someone is eliminated, and three young men are eliminated in a circle.
When it was Xiao Yao's turn again, it happened to be the second sentence, and the adjacent man sang a sentence "The division guild draws the peach talisman hexagram." ”
Xiao Yao immediately followed, "The peach charm is hanging in front of the gate." Then he turned to look at the eldest lady.
Although the eldest lady was a little weak, she was also infected by this warm atmosphere, and she felt very fun for a while, and she also came to rise unconsciously, seeing Xiao Yao's ghostly smile, she was not angry, she thought about it a little, and blurted out and sang, "The peach charm is separated by a thousand ghosts." The next man didn't seem to be familiar with the passage drawn by the master, and he didn't think of any temporary lyrics to pick up, so he had to pick up a wine glass and drink it, and then leave the venue.
The competition of mountain songs became more and more enthusiastic, Xiao Yao found that from time to time a few girls threw red or pink flowers into the bamboo basket behind everyone's chair, whose singing voice was loud and the lyrics were beautiful, there would be girls who threw flowers according to their own hearts, and after a few laps for a while, there were more than ten flowers in their bamboo baskets.
And although the eldest lady's singing lyrics are also good, but the voice is not loud enough, the men here are singing high-pitched and long-lasting, so as to win the favor of the girls, and the eldest lady is obviously not in this type.
But the eldest lady didn't care, just thought about the lyrics very devotedly, and Xiao Yao just sang a sentence "A thousand miles of marriage comes far." Then he looked at the eldest lady with a smile.
The eldest lady looked at Xiao Yao's smile and was stunned for a moment, as if she had forgotten about the song. The surrounding girls immediately burst into laughter, and the eldest lady remembered the song and had to drink the wine glass in her hand. Then he picked up the chair and withdrew from the circle with some reluctance.
"You're waiting for me outside, we're here to have some fun today." Xiao Yao hurriedly admonished. The eldest lady stood behind Xiao Yao nearby.
After several turns, the circle has become very small, there are probably only half of the people left, and more than thirty people have been eliminated.
I saw the black-robed old man in the center walk from the stage to the center again, and then said loudly, "The dance begins." ”
I only heard a gong, the girl in black came out again, and then took out a red silk flower in her hand, and then threw it to one of the men, only to see that the man immediately caught the silk flower, and then put it on his head, and immediately several men in black began to blow the reeds and play the tambourine, only to see their drum beat change from time to time, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the man in the center immediately passed the silk flower to the next person after stepping on the drum beat and dancing twenty steps, and then the next young man began to dance again, in turn, These dances are not the same, some dance with hands, some shake their heads and swing their bodies, some resemble Wu dances, and some resemble hunting, and soon it will be Xiao Yao's turn.
Xiao Yao was also full of interest for a while, and did not wear the silk flower on the top of his head, but held it in his hand, remembering the drunken fist that he had seen others practice before, although it was not necessarily suitable for fighting, but his steps were very light and smooth. So he took advantage of the excitement and danced, and for a while the pace was elegant, accompanied by the beat of the drums.
"Lu Dongbin is drunk and lifts a pot, Li Xuan is really drunk with his knees, Han Zhongli is drunk and hugging his heart, Zhang Guolao is drunk and throwing a cup and kicking a chain, Han Xiangzi grabs his wrist and blows a drunk, Lan Cai and Shan Ti toast and breaks his waist, Uncle Cao Guo toasts and locks his throat, and He Xiangu bounces his waist and offers a drunken step." While dancing and singing, Xiao Yao sang the mantra of the drunken eight immortals, and with his dreamlike footwork, there was immediately a cheer outside the venue, and from time to time a girl ran over and threw flowers into Xiao Yao's bamboo basket. Even the eldest lady outside the arena felt very yearning when she saw Xiao Yao's free and easy pace and dancing, and she couldn't help but think that if she could dance like Xiao Yao in the future, it would be very pleasant for the two to accompany each other.
Because Xiao Yao's dance steps are very complicated, the people after him each came up with their own unique skills, some began to be independent with one hand, some people landed on the ground with both hands, some jumped into the air and changed their posture, some people swam like fish, and some people spread their wings like eagles.
I saw a crowd of people waiting for a circle of dance, and immediately someone checked the number of flowers in the bamboo basket behind them from behind, and arranged the bamboo baskets of thirty people in a row, each person stood behind the basket, and every time the drum sounded, he threw out a flower, only to see that with the sound of the drum, from time to time someone was eliminated because the flowers had seen the bottom. In the end, only four people remained, including Xiao Yao.
The black-robed old man came to the center and said loudly, "Congratulations to these four young talents, you are the candidates to enter the third round of the competition tonight, and the third round of hero wine will start the competition, but you need to climb a wooden pole next to you first, take down the red light on it, and then find a way to jump on the high platform, where there are only three wine glasses on the table, whoever grabs the wine glasses and drinks the wine poured out of the three wooden barrels in turn will win." With the sound of the gong as the trumpet, start now. ”
I saw that the old man's figure flashed away, and the black-robed man on the stage arranged the table in a zigzag shape, signaling the four people to stand under a wooden pole, and then a gong sounded, and the four began to climb up.
Xiao Yao immediately found that the men in the southwest region were very good at climbing, and their speed was actually very agile, he looked down at the vicious gaze of the eldest lady, and immediately dispelled the idea of winning the first place, dispersed the internal force gathered in his hands, and slowly climbed up with only his arm strength.
The other three were like apes, clinging to the wooden pole with their legs, and then climbing up with their hands in turn.
Xiao Yao didn't want to fall behind, so he alternated his wrists and reached the top of the pole. Stretched out his hand to take off the red light, only to see that the other three people also took off the red light one after another, and were about to go down to the pole, Xiao Yao smiled, got up, and jumped directly to the high platform in the center, and the girls below couldn't help but cheer, and threw the flowers in their hands towards Xiao Yao from time to time.
Xiao Yao jumped on the high platform, and was about to reach out to pick up the wine glass on a table, but he found that a man in white had climbed behind him, and there was only one wine glass on each of the three tables, which meant that the fourth person would miss the wine glass.
Xiao Yao immediately rushed to the nearest wine glass, and then began to pour wine from the barrel, only to see that at this time, a person also appeared at the two wooden barrels next to him, who was picking up the wine glass to hold the wine, and the man in white behind him did not have a wine glass, so he had to immediately rush to the wine glass in his hand, and it seemed that the martial arts had begun.
The man in white got up and moved forward, blocking Xiao Yao's right hand holding the wine glass with his left hand, and his right hand came directly to grab the wine glass in Xiao Yao's hand. Xiao Yao didn't want to get the first place, and he was not interested in the big families here, just on a whim, so he didn't want to exercise his internal skills, and he did his best to fight with him.
Therefore, Xiao Yao lowered his figure, and did not fight with him, but jumped up, turned directly to the other side of the table, and began to serve wine again, when the two snatched at the table, the other two tables were already filled with the wine in the wooden barrel next to them, and they drank it in, and began to want to hold each other's wine in the barrel, but neither of them wanted to make each other proud, they were opposite to each other, and they did not let each other go, Xiao Yao saw that the man in white next to him was desperately snatching the wine glass in his hand, and he couldn't hold the wine for a while, and the other two people also held each other for a while, I can't help but think about it.
