Chapter 5: Morning Glory
……
Seeing that the atmosphere was not too warm, the master of ceremonies looked at Li Jun's face, and saw that Li Jun was unmoved, so he said aloud: "The Wumang Mountain Friendship Conference is the twelfth year this year, and the tribes of Wumang Mountain come to gather and exchange every year, which deepens each other's feelings, promotes the unity of all tribes in Wumang Mountain, and plays a great role in promoting the stability of our southern Xinjiang...... The city lord is busy with official business, but for the annual friendship meeting, he will come to watch the ceremony tirelessly, which shows the concern and love of the adults for our Wumang Mountain tribes, the city lord sympathizes with our Wumang Mountain people's hard work, and specially exempts the champion of each competition in this conference from the corresponding taxes, and those who have excellent results in the competition can choose to join the city lord's personal guards, and can enter the city lord's personal guard, what a glorious thing, everyone says yes! ”
"Yes!" The Montenegrins still shouted loudly, but the other teams did not respond much.
Li Jun's face showed a little impatience, and said, "Let's start early!" ”
After bowing to Li Jun, the master of ceremonies turned around and said: "This year's competition is the same as in previous years, the competition is divided into four days, and the first game of today's competition is to take a bull...... The tribes dispersed to prepare, the drumming began, and the drumming stopped......"
As soon as the master of ceremonies' voice fell, the tribes left in different directions, Liu Zhibang followed behind Amu and asked in a low voice: "Amu, what is this morning glory competition for?" ”
Amu replied: "See, this is a big fence, each team has a door, and a cow will be released later, and each tribe will send one person to lead the cow, and if you can lead the cow into the door of your own side, you will be considered the champion, and the game will be over." If the drums stop and the cow still doesn't get into any of the doors, then the game is over, and no one gets ......"
Liu Zhibang couldn't help but ask again: "Have our Fire Dance Tribe won the championship in this event in previous years?" ”
Amu smiled bitterly: "No, don't say that we haven't won the championship, no one has ever won the championship, alas, don't say it, you'll know later, I hope the first person on the field doesn't draw my ......"
Liu Zhibang followed Amu to the fence gate on the side of the Fire Dance Tribe, and surrounded Ah Meng, Ah Meng said to everyone in a deep voice: "It's still the old rule, whoever draws it will be on it, this is the will of God, I can't complain about others, start!" ”
As soon as Ah Meng finished speaking, Ali took out a short stick from his arms and walked towards the people in the team, and when he walked in front of Liu Zhibang, Ali smiled coldly and said, "It's your turn, choose!" ”
Liu Zhibang looked at Ali and reached out to draw a short stick, when Liu Zhibang drew a short stick, Ali used force undetectably, Liu Zhibang heard a slight click, and when he pulled out the short stick, it was only half the length of the others.
Ali said proudly: "The results are out, Abang drew today's lucky lot......"
"You ......"
Liu Zhibang grabbed Amu and shook his head, Amu said to Liu Zhibang sympathetically: "That...... Brother Abang, you have to be more careful, don't be strong! ”
Liu Zhibang nodded to him, and when he looked at Ah Meng, Ah Meng also nodded to him with a calm face.
"Bought it, bought it, the first competition of the year, everyone come and buy it, maybe any team will win the championship this year......
A businessman-like man stood on a high place with a bamboo stick in his hand, and beckoned loudly to all around.
There was a burst of ridicule in the crowd, and someone shouted: "Hey, Boss Qian, you are deceiving people again, no one has ever won the championship in the first morning glory of this martial arts competition, you better save it!" ”
Boss Qian's face was full of meat, and he tried to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "Hey, you can't say that, there are always accidents in everything, maybe there will be a champion this year, even if no one wins the championship, if you buy your own team, aren't you also cheering for your team, that's a great spiritual encouragement...... Why, this year, in order to increase everyone's interest in betting, I decided to raise the odds of the first game to 1 to 10, as long as you win, my money is not ambiguous, and the game will be cashed out immediately......"
Hearing this odds, the crowd immediately became lively, and many people raised the coins in their hands and squeezed to the old six places to exchange for bamboo chips.
Seeing that Liu Zhibang was preparing for the game, Amu touched his pocket, there was a copper coin in it, and thought, I don't care about him if I don't win it, what Qian Lao Liu said is also reasonable, let's cheer for our team, it's always right, buy ......
"Players from all tribes enter!"
The emcee's voice sounded again, and Liu Zhibang strode through the fence and walked into the room.
It was a flat land of two acres, surrounded by a temporary tower fence, and there were twelve gates, eleven of which were open, one of which was closed, and a huge bull-shaped animal walked around agitatedly outside the door.
Behind each open door came a mountain dweller of the Wumang Mountain tribe, each with a somewhat heavy look on their faces, but as the master of ceremonies gave the order and the drum sounded, everyone's attention was immediately focused on the door that had not yet been opened.
Syllable......
The door opened, and a huge bull with a pair of white horns and weighing more than a ton galloped out, the white-horned bull with red eyes and a brass ring on its nose, and galloped through the field for a while, and four huge hooves were uneasy to dig on the dirt, and their eyes looked fiercely at the eleven people around it.
"Wow...... This white-horned cow is bigger than last year's, and they're in trouble......"
There was an uproar on the sidelines, the bull came out murderous, the people outside the field were already startled, and the eleven people in the field were even more like white paper, and even some people's legs began to tremble.
"Let's go!"
With the master of ceremonies' order, the drum beat became denser, and the huge white-horned ox became more agitated by the drum, but none of the eleven people around it dared to step forward to lead it.
Li Jun, who was on the high platform on the sidelines, saw this scene, and the master of ceremonies immediately shouted to the audience: "I count three times, if the person who does not move will be shot, one ......."
The eleven people in the field looked back, and immediately surrounded by a circle of archers with bows and arrows outside the fence.
"Spelled ......"
Everyone shouted and rushed towards the white-horned cow, Liu Zhibang had no choice but to follow the crowd and rush towards the giant bull.
"Ah......h
A strong man in front of him just approached the white-horned cow, the white-horned cow was stimulated and lowered his head to pick it up, and the strong man drove away in the clouds, flew directly out of more than 20 meters and fell on the mud ground without a sound, Liu Zhibang looked back, the person was picked out of a nearly one-foot-long hole on the chest and abdomen by the sharp horns, and blood and intestines flowed all over the ground.
Liu Zhibang peeked again, Li Jun on the stage had no lazy demeanor at this time, staring at the field with glowing eyes, looking extremely excited, and although Mrs. Heilu next to him was masked, her eyes were almost the same as Li Jun.
"Ah......h
Another strong man who tried to approach the white-horned bull was picked off, but the archers outside the arena were still staring at him, and everyone had to bite the bullet and continue to lead the giant bull.
"Ah......h
"Ah......h
One after another, people were picked up by the white-horned cow and became a tool for the giant bull to vent his anger, and Li Jun on the high platform was even more excited.
"Why doesn't the drumming stop, five people have died......" someone in the crowd asked.
Ah Li stared at Liu Zhibang in the field, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, Ah Shui approached him and said, "Brother Ali, this kid must be finished this time......
Ali snorted and said, "This kid has a bad life, who can blame him......"
Ah Shui replied flatteringly: "Well, Brother Ali is right, this kid's life is not good, it's a pity, he won't have to play after he dies......"
Ah Meng looked at the backs of Ah Li and Ah Shui not far away, frowned slightly, did not speak, and turned his gaze to the field.
"Ah......" Another strong man was picked up by the white-horned ox, and there were only five people left on the field, and the four of them looked at each other, and they all saw desperate looks in each other's eyes.
Liu Zhibang also tried to get close to the white-horned cow and wanted to pull the copper ring on its nose, but one by one his companions died tragically in front of him, and he was also a little scared in his heart, but if the drum did not stop, they could not stop, this seemed to be a mortal game.
"What should I do?" Liu Zhibang's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.
Liu Zhibang searched around, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the headscarf on the head of a person on the sidelines, and while everyone's attention was focused on the white-horned cow, Liu Zhibang ran a few steps and took off the red turban on the man's head like lightning.
"Hey, my hijab ......"
"Borrow it and I'll give it back to you later......"
After Liu Zhibang took off his turban, he untied his turban while running towards the white-horned cow.
"Hmm...... The taste is a bit big, no matter what, it's important to save your life......"
Liu Zhibang waved the red turban in his hand as he ran, and the white-horned bull caught a glimpse of the red turban in the corner of his eye, and his attention was immediately attracted, and it spewed a hot breath from its nose, leaving the rest of the people behind and rushing towards Liu Zhibang.
"That kid is dying, how dare he tease the bull?" Everyone on the sidelines was stunned by Liu Zhibang's actions.
"Abang!"
Amu screamed nervously, but Liu Zhibang had no time to take care of others, waving his red turban, while rushing towards the door of his team, the huge white-horned ox behind him was furious, and the four hooves of the ox trampled on the ground with a shocking rumbling sound.
"Run......
"Hurry......"
"One to ten, ......"
Countless people on the sidelines were cheering for Liu Zhibang, including people from other tribes, and the gamblers who bought the Fire Dance Clan were even more excited. When Li Jun saw this scene, his eyes widened, and his face showed a somewhat playful expression: "Yes, this kid is quite clever, so ......"
"Quick...... Run......"
Liu Zhibang felt that the bull behind him was getting closer and closer, and finally rushed through the door of his team, and immediately dodged and hid by the door, stuffing the red turban into his arms. With the sound of thunderous hooves, the white-horned bull rolled up a gust of wind and sand, smashed through a bowl-thick wooden stake by the door, and rushed through the gate of the Fire Dance Tribe.
"Good ......"
"Good ......"
"One to ten, ......"
