Second, make thirteen troubles

On this day on the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar every year, early in the morning, Zhang Datou, the leader of the Zhang family, and Li Slender Monkey, the leader of the Li family, have to exchange gifts, shake hands and make peace, and pray together. After a series of ancestral rituals, the members of the two families visit each other with prepared gifts in their hands. First, this is a sign of friendship, and secondly, it is also a performance of letting the other party see how their home is doing, showing off each other, and comparing with each other.

This kind of "showmanship" will last until noon, and the Zhang and Li families will drink and talk happily, so it is not lively. After noon, everyone went home. Dressed in their own family heirlooms, they put on lanterns and beat gongs and drums to gather in a common wheat field between two families. Then they began to perform their own unique skills, and each family had its own unique skills.

The Zhang family has an ancestral lion rolling hydrangea. The descendants of the lion dance are the pillars of the Zhang family, and all of them are so strong and handsome. Definitely the most popular type of girl in the village. In addition to having a good skin, these descendants all have the ancestral martial arts of the Zhang family, and everyone is in good shape and walks like flying. Set up a platform in the wheat field and go up and down freely, and everyone can see that everyone's heart is on their throats. Especially the lion who leads them is definitely a master among the masters. It can flip down on a high platform of seven or eight meters without being scathed.

The Li family has two dragons playing with pearls. The descendants of each dragon dance are also white and pure, and their air is magnificent. Look at their body shape and steps, they are all professionally trained. According to insiders, there is actually a lot of work in this step. Especially during the dragon dance, the descendants of the dragon dance spread out left and right and moved forward in unison. When the dance is at its most cheerful, everyone's attention only looks at how the dragon body leaps, but does not pay attention to the steps of the dragon dance. The dragons danced in the air, their feet were orderly, and there were only two footprints two or three meters apart, so orderly and orderly. It's not that they hide their feet, it's just that they walk back and forth, and dozens of people's feet will fall in the same place. In this way, people naturally believe that there is a lot of article here.

This is a show off before the party. After the end of the dragon and lion dance, it is the finale of Geng Village. The Zhang and Li families together performed a show "Fire Fighting". This firefighting is not to extinguish the fire, it is a serious firefighting, just to prevent the fire from being extinguished.

The fires were put out in a circular dam in the village. The bottom of the dam is cone-shaped, and in the middle of the cone stands like a flagpole a wooden pole three or four meters long and the thickness of a bowl. The wooden pole swayed from side to side and was not very well fixed. On top of the wood was a tray with a large wooden plank nailed to it, on which a purple gold lamp was placed. The purple gold lamp is clasped on the outside of a large sealed wooden box.

Zijin lamp, is the name of an oil lamp, it is said that the lamp body is made of purple gold, the lamp twist is made of special materials by senior craftsmen, as long as there is no external interference, it can burn for a long time. But whether this is true or not, no one knows, because the purple gold twist has long been lost.

At the beginning of the game, the patriarchs of the Zhang and Li families will hold hands and jointly light the ancestral purple gold lantern. Then place the purple gold lamp on a pallet at the top of the wood and close the closed lid. The oxygen in the wooden box is limited, and as long as the oil lamp is lit for a certain period of time, if the lid is not opened, the oil lamp will naturally go out.

Therefore, this "firefighting" is difficult.

The first difficulty is the time limit, which is to open the lid of the oil lamp before the oxygen in the oil lamp box is exhausted.

Difficulty 2, standing in the dam three or four meters high wooden pole, it is impossible to go up casually by shaking left and right.

Difficulty three, this game can only be played by two people, and a man and a woman, the Zhang family and the Li family each send one person. The Zhang family sent men, and the Li family sent women. And vice versa.

Difficulty four, the list of participants is not fixed, only on July 13, Zhang and Li will choose their own people, the list will be announced in the half hour before the start of the competition, in this half an hour Zhang and Li will speak to each other, and then complete this ancestral game together.

In addition to this, only people in the village who are at least fifteen years old can sign up. Those over the age of 25 cannot participate. So, everyone has a ten-year opportunity to participate.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

With so many restrictions, it's not just for the sake of making a game and having a good time. It's all about profit, and this event is no exception. The temptation of this game is that as long as the group can succeed in this game, everyone will be rewarded. Of course, according to the actual situation, the rewards are different from year to year. All in all, the prize must have been the rarest object of the time. In addition to the reward, each of the successful groups will receive a qualification to recommend who will be the patriarch. As long as you meet the age of participation, you can participate every year, and this recommendation qualification will be successful once you have one, which can be accumulated.

However, "firefighting" has been played in Geng Village for hundreds of years, and no one knows why this game came about, nor does it know who the founder's surname is. Anyway, I have been playing for so long from generation to generation, and I haven't stopped streaming until today. It's not easy.

After playing this game for so many years, there are many successful people, and naturally there are many people who have received rewards. Looking at a record kept by the Zhang family and the Li family, there are not 1,000 successful people, but 800. However, the so-called qualification to recommend the patriarch seems to be just an empty word. Because no matter which of Zhang and Li wins every year, Zhang Datou of the Zhang family and Li Slender Monkey of the Li family have always been their respective patriarchs.

No one objected to admitting that the Zhang family and the Li family, under the leadership of Zhang Datou and Li Slender Monkey, "put out fires" year after year, making thirteen troubles!

This year's weather is great and the sun is big. It didn't take a few days to get the wheat in the field ripe, and then everyone hurriedly harvested the wheat, and prepared to make trouble one by one.

This year's Thirteenth Anniversary was naturally as lively as in previous years, and people from outside the village came to see the excitement. Especially when playing the game of "firefighting". There were even more people, and the inner and outer three layers surrounded the dam. Every year, there are newcomers to participate in the "firefighting", which also means that the Zhang family and the Li family are prosperous.

The newcomers who participated in the "firefighting" this year are Zhang Zhen, the grandson of the head of the Zhang family in the village, and Li Ke, the granddaughter of the patriarch of the Li family. These two can be described as golden boys and girls, each of them is the age of flowers, and their bodies are light, which is suitable for playing this game. Of course, there are other candidates for the competition, but they are also old people who have played several times before, and there are no surprises, and it is not worth watching.

The newcomer is about to come out, and the old man is going to take a step back. "Fighting fires" is to save the fire, and the second is to be fast. Zhang Zhen and Li Ke each received a set of new clothes from Sun Laohan's hands, plus each received a TV.

The onlookers watched it and had their own ideas. Geng Zhuang did not have fifteen dolls, and they secretly vowed in their hearts that they must exercise hard and strive to get prizes one day. Adults over the age of twenty-five can only look at the prizes and envy, only blaming themselves for not seizing the opportunity in the past ten years. But the people in the other villages only have red eyes, and they really hate that they were not born in Gengzhuang.

Sun Laohan is the referee, and in the village, only the Sun family at the end of the village does not "put out fires".
