Chapter 25 Da Zhuang participates in the battle with a bow, and the audience enters with a ticket
With the first dawn of the sun, everyone was looking forward to the "Luhegou First Archer Competition", which finally officially began.
This night, Li Dazhuang hardly slept well.
"Da Zhuang, relaxed, no different from going into the mountains to hunt, that is, there are more people. Take it easy......" Li Siliu said as he rubbed his son's shoulder. It had been years since he had spoken to his son so kindly.
Li Dazhuang couldn't speak, just clutched his bow tightly.
I didn't eat anything in the morning, and it wasn't until I got to the shooting range that I said the first thing of the day:
"This ...... So many people! ”
Although I knew that there were many people from the beginning, there were too many of them!
This is not the time to be busy with farming, and those who have leisure time come to see the excitement: there are farmers with hoes, peasant women with young children in their arms, long-term and short-term workers of the landlord's family, and the elders of the village who have not gone out for 800 years, also come tremblingly on crutches.
If you want to blame, you can only blame Xu Wenshan's propaganda for doing too well.
Luhegou is a small place, and most of them are related to each other, and when they see each other, they can't help but say hello, "Hey! Second uncle! "Third aunt, are you here too?" It made the whole shooting range outside the crowd buzz.
Of course, there were also archers with bows and arrows on their backs, murderous, each standing quietly with his arms crossed, and the crowd saw that they all consciously walked around, so that there was an empty field around them.
Li Dazhuang looked at these archers, they seemed to be some old hunters, only he was young, and his father was standing next to him to cheer him on, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Just when the crowd began to complain about why the shooting range had not yet opened, I saw Ah Fa, a little servant of the Xu family, holding a grass platform and putting it at the door of the shooting range, and then climbed onto the grass platform and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!" ”
"Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet! ”
After the whole field slowly quieted down, Ah Fa said: "Everyone, please note, because there are too many people here today, the shooting range will definitely not be able to stand so many people, and when the bow and arrow have no eyes, it will definitely be bad to have a killing situation, so we have decided that there is a charge to enter the shooting range!" Pay a penny to enter the shooting range! ”
Hearing this, the crowd present almost overturned the grass platform. The audience was in an uproar, and almost everyone protested loudly.
Ah Fa repeatedly shouted "be quiet" until the hoarseness was exhausted, and the scene quieted down a little.
"Attention, it's not that you can't watch it without paying the money! It's okay if you don't have to pay, but you have to watch from outside the shooting range, and later Xiaocui will take you to a safe place outside the shooting range, so that you can see enough, you can look at it however you want! But pay 1 penny to enter the shooting range! In addition, if you pay 5 yuan, you can also enter the VIP seat to watch, there is tea, pergola, and pastries! ”
After saying this, the bottom was even more boiling, and they were basically scolding: "You dare to collect 5 yuan?" Whose tea is worth 5 cents? "I don't want to give 1 penny! Pay back 5 money! ”
At this time, a neutral voice sounded: "Is there such a good thing? Then give me a VIP seat...... No, bring me 8! ”
Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came from, but they all stopped talking. A person scolded and said, "Which stupid fork is ......" Before he finished speaking, he was covered by the person next to him.
The person who spoke was none other than Xu Changshui!
Xu Changshui took his 7 wives to watch the game!
However, the surrounding people were also relieved, this is the Xu family's shooting range, and their own family looks at their own, of course, they don't look at it casually.
But what Xu Changshui did next was unexpected, he casually handed Ah Fa a hanging of money and said, "A little bit." ”
Ah Fa nodded and said, "8 people, 5 Wen per person, a total of 40 Wen." There are indeed 40 texts. So he hung the money on his arm and helped Xu Changshui open the door.
Xu Changshui swaggered in, and several of Xu Wenshan's aunts followed. The crowd outside looked at each other, didn't they? My own father also wants to collect money?
40 Wen is a bucket of rice!
"Hahahaha...... Interesting! Give me 8 VIP seats! ”
Another voice sounded, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Guo Xin, the head of the Guo family.
The Xu family is a veteran family in Luhegou, but the Guo family is a rookie in Luhegou, no wonder the Guo family wants a VIP seat, if it is not compared with Xu Changshui, how to challenge the Xu family in the future?
After the Guo family also entered the door, someone asked aloud: "We are here to compete, do we also have to pay money?" ”
Ah Fa hurriedly replied: "Of course not, you are athletes, athletes, please follow the staff over there, he will take you to the rest area to prepare for the competition." ”
The words "athlete" and "staff" were naturally taught by Xu Wenshan. Xu Wenshan often uses it, and the people below are familiar with it, and they can't help but use it.
A few of the archers nodded, and followed the other servant. The rest of the people, those who were willing to pay money, paid to enter the market, and those who were not willing to pay followed Xiaocui.
This is only a small episode, and the highlight of the day is about to begin.
……
At this time, Guo Xin, the head of the Guo family, also swaggered to the VIP seat and sat down with his sons.
The Guo family has many sons, and the family has prospered in recent years, and it has also encircled a lot of land, although it is definitely not comparable with the Xu family, but it can be regarded as a big family.
It is said to be a VIP area, but it is actually a shed under the only old tree in the shooting range, with many small stools and a simple teapot on the coffee table.
Guo Xin picked up the teapot and took a sip to his mouth, immediately spit it out, and said loudly: "I haven't drunk this coarse tea for more than ten years, and I'm really not used to drinking it at first glance." ”
Except for him, no one else reacted, Guo Xin saw that no one paid attention to him, so he found other reasons, complaining that the sun was too big for a while, and complaining about the uneven venue for a while.
Guo Xin chattered in the back, and Xu Changshui's family sitting in front was silent.
After a while, Xu Wenshan hurriedly came with a bow and arrow, and Xu Changshui showed a smile and stood up to greet him.
"Daddy."
"Yes," Xu Changshui said, "I haven't seen you for a while, but I've grown a lot taller." ”
After Xu Wenshan met with the aunts, Guo Xin spoke: "Isn't this Wenshan's virtuous nephew?" You've grown so tall, huh? ”
Xu Wenshan bowed to Guo Xin, and before he could speak, Guo Xin said again:
"You said that you won the first place and can have 5 yuan, is it true?"
Xu Wenshan said: "Of course it's true. ”
Guo Xin laughed and said, "Virtuous nephew, don't tease your uncle and me, I also used to be a young master, I understand!" ”
Xu Wenshan said: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”
Guo Xin squeezed his eyebrows and said, "You're actually having fun teasing these Diao people, right?" Actually, there is no 5 yuan at all, right? ”
Xu Wenshan said: "Of course, there are 5 yuan, as long as you get the first, no matter who you are, you can get 5 yuan." ”
After a pause, he lifted the bow in his hand and said, "Look, in order to compete for the 5 yuan, I came to the competition myself." ”
