Before six o'clock in the evening, the gate meeting of the village committee was already noisy with gongs and drums, and the voices of people were boiling.

Villagers from several surrounding villages also came to watch, and surrounded the entrance of the small village committee. Zhao Hong pulled his face and said to Xia Jian angrily: "This is the entertainment of the people in the village, I hope you don't turn it into a fight between the two families of Wang Xia."

"Sister Hong, don't you know, Wang Youcai wrote a war letter to Xia Jian in front of everyone, and today it's all here, if you don't let Xia Jian participate, wouldn't it be self-defeating without a fight" Chen Erniu said a little unconvinced.

The drum music outside the door was higher and higher, and the Yangge team of Wang Xia and Xia couldn't help it, and began to sing in duet.

At this time, Sun Yuejuan helped Xia Sanye to come, and as soon as the old man entered the door, he smiled and said: "You kid is really good, no one has done this activity for several years, and this year has been a lot of excitement."

"Yes, Third Master, please take a seat," Xia Jian said, but he was very anxious.

Xia Sanye patted him lightly and said: "Boy, your mother is right, our Wang and Xia families should not fight like this anymore, everyone knows, you are good at kung fu, if tonight's lion lets you come to receive it, our Xia family will definitely win, but you are not only our Xia family, but also the village chief of the whole village, so leave the matter of leading the lion to Xia Xiaocheng, this kid is okay."

"Didn't I practice for two days in vain," Xia Jian said a little aggrieved.

Xia Sanye stroked his white beard, smiled, lowered his voice and said, "We don't take the lion, but we can dance the lion, drill inside, who knows you?" Xia Sanye said, winking at Sun Yuejuan, who was standing on her back.

When Xia Jian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this lion dance is also a style of work, he played this when he was a child, it seems that Xia Sanye has not forgotten his outstanding performance that year, which year, it was he Xia Jian who carried the lion's head, the first to rush to the gatehouse, and took off the gold ingots that symbolized auspicious significance.

Thinking of this, Xia Jiancheng called Chen Erniu behind him, whispered, and immediately gave all the clothes worn by the lion on his body to the spare candidate Xia Xiaocheng, this child is sixteen years old this year, and he is attending a martial arts school in Pingdu, judging from the rehearsals in the past two days, the effect is very good.

Zhao Hong and Sister Sun Yue saw that Xia Jian was no longer leading the lion, and a happy smile appeared on their faces, in fact, being cared for was also a kind of full happiness.

When the time entered the countdown, the lion team of Wang Xia and the Yangge team were ready to start the fight, and the atmosphere on the field was extremely warm, it was really "the sound of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year, and the gongs and drums to celebrate the New Year"

The lion team of the Xia family appeared in the cheers of everyone, a golden big male lion, followed by two small male lions, everyone thought that the lion team of the Xia family, the lion leader must be Xia Jian, they waited to see this important event, but what made them a little disappointed was that the lion leader became a child.

However, Xia Xiaocheng is a child who is angry, as soon as he comes on the field, he has a few flips, his movements are chic and neat, and then there is a set of Xiaohong boxing, although the strength is not enough, but it is also whirring, which provokes applause on the field.

The lion of the Wang family was also bought at a high price in the flat city, one gold and two yellow, but it was not lost to the Wang family in terms of momentum.

The person who led the lion in the Wang family is still Wang Youcai, who appeared a few years ago, don't look at this guy who is fat and round now, but after all, he has also exercised, plus this guy has been prepared for a long time, and he started to practice secretly a month or two ago, so his martial arts posture of leading the lion is not bad at all, and he has punched a few times.

Xia Jian, who was drilling under the lion's head, whispered to Chen Erniu behind him: "It seems that there will be a battle tonight, and the key game is on the hydrangea picking in the back, you can hold on."

"Don't worry! I've never touched a woman here, and my body is strong! When Chen Erniu said this, he laughed quietly, Xia Jian understood what he meant, but he didn't have time to tease him anymore now.

Waiting for the lion of the Wang family to get off the field, it is to fight Yangge, this is a martial arts opera in the literary opera, Yangge not only has to be able to dance, but also can sing the lyrics to adapt to the situation, dance well, sing well, this one will be brought alive by her.

According to the previous regulations of the village, the lion leader is generally a capable person selected by Wang Xia's two families, and this Yangge head is served by people with other surnames in the village, Xia Jian called Mo Yan over as soon as possible, and gave her a three-day closed training, under the careful guidance of the masters, Mo Yan learned very quickly.

Mo Yan is unexpectedly brilliant, she is not only beautiful, but also has a sweet voice, she plus her new singing with old words, won thunderous applause.

The Wang family's Yangge head is Chen Gui, this kid has a mouth like a spring, can speak well, although he is lively on the field, amusing a group of old ladies, but his applause is far worse than Mo Yan's.

After fighting Yangge, the idea of gongs and drums accelerated invisibly, and the audience began to cheer, everyone knew that the highlight of tonight began, and the young children of the Wang and Xia families began to do the best inspection next to the wooden stakes that were more than a meter high.

Looking at the high pole five meters away, the onlookers began to praise, "This year's color head is much higher than in previous years!" ”

"What's the matter, the people in Xiping Village are rich this year, and this color is naturally indispensable, of course it has to be hung a little higher."

Listening to everyone's praise and stepping on the idea of gongs and drums, Xia Jian rushed out in one step, Chen Erniu behind him, grabbed his belt, and the two of them danced wildly.

Jumping, soaring, jumping, and channeling, step by step, the few people who played the instrument were tired enough, they never thought that the person with the lion's head would be so powerful this year.

"Who is dancing the lion and how can they dance so well?" Wang Degui looked a little nervous and asked Chen Gui beside him.

Chen Gui shook his head and said: "I really don't know, anyway, it's impossible for Xia Jian to get on, his mother and Zhao Hong strongly disagree, even Xia Sanye doesn't support him, not to mention the lion leader he has practiced for a few days."

"Oops! It doesn't matter so much, if they invite people from outside, it won't count" Wang Degui dropped this sentence and went to something else.

Chen Gui hurriedly responded: "That's definitely not counted."

The field has reached the most intense time, the head lion of the Wang and Xia families has begun to fight, as soon as the move is passed, Xia Jian will not be right, this person is very familiar with his routine, attacking tricks, and every time it is resolved.

He couldn't help but be surprised, through the moment when the lion opened its big mouth, he found that it was Wang Youdao who was the top lion man in the Wang family, this guy, every year in the village lion dance a few years ago, it was him and Xia Jiandou, no wonder he was so familiar with Xia Jian's routine.

It seems that what he can think of, others can also think of, Xia Jian felt that he underestimated the Wang family.

Springboard boarding, above the table, these actions, Wang Xia and the two head lions were completed almost at the same time. Next, the most difficult part of the lion dance is to go up the stake, which requires the cooperation of two people in front and behind, if one of them moves a little slower or a little faster, the stake will not only not go up, but also fall down.

Seeing that the head lion of the Wang family flew up and landed on the stake steadily, the onlookers screamed, which threw the pressure to Xia Jian, he never thought that this Wang Youdao looked like Si Swenwen, it seems that his kung fu has not stopped all these years.

"Don't be afraid! I'll shout the number, and I'll get on the two" Chen Erniu behind him, because he couldn't see the situation in front of him, so his mood was calmer at the moment, and Xia Jian responded.

As soon as Chen Erniu's words came out, Xia Jian was angry and dantian, turned around, and Chen Erniu behind him cooperated seamlessly, and the two of them landed on the wooden stake almost at the same time, and a deafening applause rang out on the field.

The gongs and drums were about to be broken at this moment, and sixteen wooden stakes, on which two male lions stepped on the drums, leaned towards the high pole with gold ingots hanging in the middle of the field.

In this process, which is exquisite, one pounce and three retreats, not only the steps must be steady, but also must be able to match the sound of gongs and drums, which is not only beautiful, but also can reflect the skills of the lion dance.

I haven't been on a stake for many years, Xia Jian is still a little timid in his heart, and his steps are not quite decisive, Chen Erniu, who has rich experience in this area, said loudly behind him: "Don't go in a straight line, bend S" When Xia Jian heard this, he immediately complied, and his steps were suddenly a lot more stable.

As the host waved his hand, the gongs and drums stopped, and he said loudly: "Wang Xia's two lion dance clubs, gold ingots open Furui, start robbing!" ”

Before the sound fell, I saw the head lion of the Wang family rise into the air, and climbed on the high pole with a plop, which was difficult to stop Xia Jian, a pole with a total thickness of a bucket, and the two people of the Wang family climbed up, they could only surpass the Wang family and climb on top of Wang Youdao's head, of course, if they did it, this gold ingot would be caught.

But at such a height, how can you go up, you can't pull people down!

The Xia family on the field was in a hurry, and some young people began to shout: "The Xia family doesn't admit it, and the Xia family's lion flies."

I'll go to you uncle, I really thought that Lao Tzu had wings, Xia Jian scolded in his heart, thinking about the countermeasures to go up. Chen Erniu behind him noticed something unusual, and he immediately said: "You step on my shoulder, occupy the position first, then I grab your legs, you lift me up"

"No, it's too dangerous," Xia Jian said decisively.

Chen Erniu shouted: "Don't come up if you're afraid of danger, hurry up" Chen Erniu said, and rushed to Xia Jian's side from behind.

Xia Sanye, who had already seen the doorway on the field, shouted loudly: "Absolutely not"

But the old man's shouting was a little late, I was afraid that I wouldn't come up, Xia Jian was inspired by Chen Erniu's sentence, he ran sideways, and gently fell in front of Chen Erniu's stake, and the back roots of his two feet just hung on the stake, this action is really not something that ordinary people can do.

first touched Chen Erniu's head with his hand, then raised his foot and stepped up gently, at this time, the field was silent, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. I saw Chen Erniu slowly get up and stand up straight, Xia Jian was holding the lion's head, growing taller little by little, and suddenly there was a long howl, the lion flew towards the high pole, and someone on the field screamed in fright.
