Although all the village owners gathered around to watch the fighting crickets, they were all at a distance of one foot. What was really at the table was the "3 grasses and 2 don'ts" - the referee and the owner of the 2 crickets.

The dwarf boss saw that the side and a referee who gambled on the crickets were the two owners of Fenyang Tongjiazhai - Tong Yizi and Tong Erzi.

The two are brothers, and the two brothers are three years apart, both in their twenties. Both brothers are black satin scarves, black cotton satin arrow sleeves, waist belts, and sable heroes.

The eldest boy was on the right side of the table, playing with a red clay jar of crickets. In the other hand, he holds a "hot-headed grass" for crickets.

Tong Yizi's face is like the bottom of a black pot, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square face. He is nine feet away, with broad shoulders and thick back, big shoulders and round waist, and his stomach is very tall, and he can't touch his navel when he reaches out, and his physique is very strong.

I saw him shouting incessantly: "Red gourd, up, yes, yes, red gourd, I won today and I will give you a meal......"

The dwarf boss looked into the basin. The "red gourd" of the boy in the basin is a cricket that is red from the body to the head.

This cricket has bamboo whiskers and plum wings. The whole body was red and shiny.

I saw that it kept flapping its wings violently and chirping. After each chirp, he began to grin and rush forward. Overhead, kicking, curling long tentacles, constantly spinning their bodies, looking for a vantage point, bravely culling.

The other cricket, gray and gray, looked like it was like it had not eaten enough, and it was languishing.

The dwarf boss laughed out loud.

It turns out that crickets are required to be free from the 'four diseases', namely raising their heads, tendrils, practicing their teeth, and kicking their legs. The appearance color is also distinguished by dignity and inferiority, 'white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, and red is not as good as yellow'.

And this cricket, not to mention the four diseases, is also the last white.

Although the dwarf boss only made this sound, it was different from the sound made by others, although everyone else was shouting and cheering, and the atmosphere in the venue was chaotic. But the dwarf boss's voice is like a caterpillar burrowing into everyone's ears, and he can't listen to it if he wants to, and after listening to it, he is like a caterpillar entering his ears, and he is indescribably itchy and uncomfortable.

Immediately, the audience was quiet, and even the Tong brothers and Huo Jun couldn't help but look at him.

The dwarf boss suddenly felt uncomfortable, and smiled flatteringly at the three people in the field.

Tong Erzi is the referee, and the position is opposite the dwarf boss. He was nine feet tall and had a thin waist and a wide back. The face is like a silver basin, black and white beard, and the eyes are like electricity.

Tong Erzi smiled at the dwarf boss as if he reciprocated. Suddenly, his face changed, and he said angrily: "Get out!"

"**......" The dwarf boss was just about to scold Tong Erzi, when he saw Huo Jun looking at him with a smile. For some reason, Huo Jun's expression scared the dwarf boss into a thrill. It's like a catastrophe is coming.

He obediently and gloomily withdrew from the crowd.

Outside the crowd, Hu Erhu San stood in a row, and the two of them saw the dwarf boss pulling his head and withdrawing, with a schadenfreude expression on his face.

The Xun brothers even relieved their hatred and said: "You deserve it!"

This Huo Jun is about eight feet tall, with slippery shoulders, two big crane legs, purple and black skin, small eyes, hooked nose, and water chestnut beak.

Huo Jun was playing with the sweet white ware jar made by the Yongle official kiln in his hand.

His eyes only stopped for a moment on the dwarf boss, and then turned his head back to the 'fight'.

I saw that the two insects fought for a while, and then retreated. The red gourd fluttered its wings again. I saw that its chirping voice was high and crisp, and the fighting silk was open, its eyes were as black as paint, and its beard was thick and long.

And his own cricket, but the head is pulling. Motionless.

One of the rules of this cricket fight is that in the middle of the game, both crickets start to cry at the same time and continue the game; If one side opens, half a game is won.

Huo Jun hurriedly said: "General Bai, you are calling!" said as he used the hot-headed grass to stir up the cricket, so as to arouse its fighting spirit.

The white general really called out obediently, but the cry was faint and slightly hoarse.

In the crowd of viewers, I don't know who said: "How do you feel like squeezing out a stuffy fart!"

This sentence made everyone laugh.

And Huo Jun was even more anxious, and vigorously provoked the white general.

But this General Bai, after shouting this, stopped immediately, no matter how Huo Jun provoked, he refused to scream again.

Huo Jun suddenly shouted to the crowd: "Geng Jingxin, you bastard donkey ball ball ball ground! Look what kind of goods you picked for Lao Tzu? You have lost three games in a row!"

When Huo Jun shouted, he showed a large number of teeth, black roots. I saw that the corners of his eyes were drooping downward, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, if he didn't pay attention, he would look like a skeletal ghost.

He wore a soft-bottomed six-edged scarf on his head, pulled the three-pointed Cigu leaf upside down on the top beam door, inserted green pompoms on his sideburns, wore green all over his body, hung soap all over his body, tied a five-blessing silk luan belt around his waist, and the Yongle official kiln utensils in his hands "snapped" and slapped on the table, knocking the table three times.

And the jar containing the crickets was immediately slapped like powder.

In the crowd, the brothers Geng Xiaoxin and Geng Jingxin laughed the loudest. Seeing that Huo Jun was angry, the brothers didn't feel afraid.

Geng Jingxin looks like a black horse, he laughs like a horse, and he speaks like a mule and a horse at this time.

He said angrily: "Boss, don't you wronged a good person, this is what my eldest brother and I bought from a connoisseur for a thousand taels of silver when we went to the Qilu Plain in Shandong to sell horses." I know you like it, we just came back from Shandong, and we didn't even return to our own cottage, so we sent it to you. ”

Huo Jun frowned, he knew that the origin of crickets was the best, and the Ningjin species in Shandong was the best. Look at this cricket, it doesn't look good. But crickets are sometimes the same as people, the more unsightly they are, the more refreshing and impressive they are sometimes.

But today, Huo Jun is wrong, this cricket's fighting nature, endurance, and fierceness, as well as its appearance, are all well-deserved and worthy of the name.

Huo Jun suddenly asked, "You said you bought it from an expert?"

Geng Xiaoxin patted his chest confidently and said: "When we went to Shandong, we mainly went to sell horses, and the experts we met were all horse sellers. Of course, this cricket bought land from a horse dealer!"

There was a 'poof', and the audience immediately burst into laughter. Even the Xun brothers, who were standing outside the crowd, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tong Yizi shook his head with a smile and said: "You two are really worthy of it, it is difficult to argue between truth and falsehood, reckless people and things are indistinguishable from confused immortals." ”

Tong Erzi smiled and said to Huo Jun: "Boss, you, General Bai, have been retreating without a fight. I think it's no longer combative to lose three games in a row. Originally, it would have lost if it didn't fight within ten numbers, but it had been so long. It seems that the loss is a foregone conclusion. ”

After speaking, Tong Erzi picked up a long wooden plank and put it in the middle of the basin to separate the two crickets.

Tong Yizi stretched out his hand with a smile and said to Huo Jun: "One hundred taels in one game, four hundred taels in four games." Boss, take the silver!"
