Chapter 560: Five Competitions
Back outside Dazhai, I happened to meet a group of Miao people who entered the Miao village to celebrate the Lusheng Festival, these people put on the festival clothes at the bottom of the box, and the rich and noble people wore silver jewelry. There is a lot of content in the festival, but Liu Yu doesn't care about this for the time being.
In the evening, the first of the five competitions was about to begin, and when they returned to the station, the Daqiu people heard about the meeting, so they all looked at Liu Yu and asked him what kind of competition items he asked the Yue people to prepare.
After all, Lanping is the territory of the Miao people, and there are only a few dozen people in the entire Yue tribe, and they are not good at anything. These daqi do not seek to win the last, but only to win one game, so that the powerful Nanmiao and Zhongmiao will offer valuable conditions in exchange for this vote.
As soon as Liu Yu and other representatives returned, the Wa and An also rushed over to discuss together. Now the three families are already wearing on a rope, and they are both damaged and prosperous.
"The competition items we proposed will be kept secret for the time being." Liu Yue seemed to be playing tricks, but he really didn't think about it, "But I promise that we will definitely win the competition I mentioned." We also try to play as late as possible to see if we can win a game first, so that we can be more sure. ”
People from several tribes were quite complaining, thinking that it was not appropriate to listen to a young man like Liu Yu. But because the proposal to unite the three ethnic groups to run for the elder of Dali was put forward by the Yue people, and the Yue people all listened to this young man, the people of the An and Wa tribes did not say anything.
The people who sent away the Wa and An people also had to prepare to go to the An Dazhai to participate in the competition, because it was a candidate for the old Dali. Therefore, all the people brought by the Yue people can enter. Liu Yu is about to find a secluded place to think about it. Mill took Doreen's hand. Mi Er asked timidly: "Fu Dangjia, what do you want to try, can you say it first?" If I could, I would like to do my part. ”
If it is better than fighting shirtless, the soldiers under Liu Yu may not win, compared to marksmanship. Obviously, people of other nationalities will not agree and will recognize their identity.
Liu Yu smiled confidently and said, "You don't have to worry, we will win." ”
Not only was Doreen very confident in Liu Yu, but even Mi Er began to nod blindly. Liu Yu had helped too many people of the Yue clan before, and Duo Lin and Mi Er gradually regarded him as a god.
At dusk, the group was about to set off, and the An and Wa tribes also brought their entourage over, and the people of the three tribes walked together. Liu Yu actually wanted to see the girls of the Wa and An tribes, but these two ethnic groups seemed to be very traditional, and there were no female dependents in the line. Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the Bai woman he had seen at the Hezu meeting today, although the woman in her twenties might have been married. But it's a beauty.
Then, Liu Yu thought of Liu Liniang again, but unfortunately there was still nowhere to be found.
The night of the Miao reed sheng festival is very lively, but because the competition of Dali is to be held that night, a silent area is formed in front of the central building of the Miao village, which is incompatible with the hustle and bustle outside. Everyone who entered, although they seemed to be quite calm, but in fact, everyone was very nervous, who should be the elder of Dali, which means that the power behind them can occupy a dominant position in the big nation, of course, the weak do not dare to be extravagant, after all, they can't convince the public.
Those who want to grab the position of Dali are mainly Nanmiao and Zhongmiao, which are also the favorites to win. Both sides want to win three outright games without getting other votes, but if they win only two or one, they need to use diplomacy to get enough votes, and in this regard, the lonely middle seedlings do not have an advantage.
Nan Miao felt that the victory was in hand, so they wanted to win first, so it was Nan Miao who proposed the first competition. At this point, no one went to fight with Nan Miao.
Outside the big earth house, Nan Miao Galuo Nong Yi stepped forward and proposed their way of competition, which was unexpected, not the common use of the Miao people to jump the rope, throw the bamboo pole and sing the song, but the bamboo pole jumping.
Jumping bamboo poles, also known as bamboo beating, is not a recreational program that the Miao people are used to, but it is dabbled in by other small ethnic groups around the Miao people. None of the people present expected that Nan Miao would come up with such an unpopular test project, but the way he competed was not foul, that is to say, Nan Miao's proposal was effective.
Some people even thought that it might be that Nanmiao's people had expected such a situation today, so they had been prepared for it. Naturally, I thought that Liu Yu, who proposed each family's own selection competition project today, had already discussed with Nan Miao.
The three sides of the Bei Miao, the Bai and the Yue are not qualified to raise objections, and the rest is to look at Zhong Miao's attitude, with Zhong Miao's strength, they want to forcibly judge this competition as a foul, and they may not choke Nan Miao's proposal back. But what is unexpected is that Zhongmiao happily agreed to the content of the first competition.
The first game has been decided, and all that remains is for all parties to negotiate and come up with the issue of representatives.
Jumping bamboo poles, there are eight people at a time, the people on both sides of the bamboo swing the bamboo poles according to the rhythm, the people who jump the bamboo poles have to enter from one side to the other, and then a back and forth, and the feet are clamped on the road, which is equivalent to failure. If there are more people than who has crossed the bamboo pole, then it will be decided which side wins. If there are as many as that, the ratio is speed.
Zhilu said about the competition project, Liu Yu came back and asked the patriarchs of the Wa, Yue and An tribes, and the results were not surprising, the three ethnic groups have not played this, and it is obviously difficult to win if they learn and sell now.
Liu Yu sighed and said: "Then we will find eight people, compare them casually, and if we lose, we will be considered training." ”
The elders of the Yue tribe Daqiu and the Wa and An tribes looked at each other, and there was no other way, so they had to nod in agreement. Then each tribe selected two people, and Liu Yu also found two people from the soldiers behind him who seemed to be agile to participate in this competition.
The competition started in anticipation, and the people who were responsible for beating the bamboo were good at the small ethnic group of the Li nationality who were good at this competition, and they were blindfolded, and they had to beat the bamboo according to the rhythm of the drum, so as to prevent the appearance of fast and slow bias, as long as the drum beat was consistent, it would be fair to all parties who came to jump the bamboo.
Nan Miao's people came on the field first, eight men of all colors, with a vigorous posture, the first one to pass quickly, and then passed one by one, all eight people were not pinched by their feet, and the drum beat used was only ninety-nine times.
When the others started to feel pressure, it seemed that this Nan Miao would not win or not.
After that, Beimiao and Bai Clan, who appeared one after another, all ended in a very embarrassing way, and only one or two people could pass the bamboo pole, and they were completely sparring partners. On the side of the Yue people, the situation was not much better, and only three people passed in the end, and Liu Yu's two soldiers actually passed through, and their rapid passage still aroused the applause of the onlookers. Liu Yuxin said that these soldiers still have some ability, but he underestimated them. But Liu Yu also knew that it was difficult for his own people to choose eight without problems, and this competition was originally practice makes perfect.
After the last, it was Zhongmiao's turn to appear, and before they appeared, even Liu Yu felt that there would be no "suspense" in this competition. But after the eight girls in uniform in Zhongmiao appeared in a row with their shoulders on their shoulders, Liu Yu changed his mind.
The girls in Zhongmiao, all of them are young, wearing festive costumes and looking jubilant. At the beginning of the drum, they are like conjoined babies, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, every movement is neat and uniform, and their movements are more elegant than the men of Nanmiao just now, crossing the bamboo with their toes on the ground, fast and light, rotating and turning to pass some narrow bamboo rows, jumping on the bamboo as if performing a beautiful dance. They didn't make the slightest mistake, and soon they were going back and forth on the bamboo row, and the drum beat was only seventy-two.
At the end of an impeccable performance, Nan Miao's people couldn't sit still, and they all stood up and looked at Zhong Miao's eight girls with disbelief. Nan Miao didn't expect that he would lose, and he was so unjustly defeated.
And Liu Yu watched from the sidelines with some schadenfreude, Nan Miao's home game would actually be won by Zhong Miao, which is a big irony. And Liu Yue saw Liu Liniang's figure from the dance of the eight girls dancing bamboo, the dance posture of the eight girls on the field was in the same vein as Liu Liniang's encouragement, Liu Yue thought, although Liu Liniang did not play, but she still taught eight girls to complete the complete victory of this competition.
"In the first competition, the Chinese and Miao people won, can you have any objections?"
People from all sides opened their mouths one by one to say that they had no objections, and even the failed Nanmiao people had to admit their defeat. Then the eight girls went down, Liu Yu noticed that a middle-aged woman was doing sign language to the eight girls to let them leave, at this time Liu Yue realized that the eight girls were deaf and mute, no wonder they could play such a tacit understanding together.
Zhongmiao people won the game, and the other Quartet people felt the pressure, because Zhongmiao himself still had one game, and they were equal to having two points in hand. If Zhong Miao can't be sniped in all of the other three games, then Zhong Miao is likely to take the position of Dali Lao with an absolute advantage of three points, and the other parties will not get any benefits.
At this time, it is very important to propose the second test item. Just when all parties were silent and no one wanted to be the first bird, Beimiao's people stepped forward and took the lead in pushing their competition out.
"Grab the flowers!"
As soon as the competition was announced, there was another exclamation below. Because this is not a project that Miao people are good at, that is to say, today neither North Miao nor South Miao has proposed a competition project that Miao people are good at, but "opportunistic".
In fact, it is not difficult to understand when you think about it, what the North Miao and the South Miao are good at, the Middle Miao must also be good at, and they will not do this kind of thing that they are not sure of winning.
However, compared with Nanmiao's cunning, the competition is based on strong skill in jumping bamboo poles, and the competition project of Beimiao is very unskillful, and it is more about the coordination of the team.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is similar to rugby, not only to be able to get the ball, but also to protect the ball, through passing and teamwork, to send the ball to a specific place to win. In the competition, there were ten people from each side, and it was a completely chaotic battle, and it was difficult to say who would have the advantage. (To be continued......)
