Chapter 315 315: Sports Games Events (6) [Please vote]
The open-air meeting was very lively.
Circle it with wooden stakes and hemp rope.
Common people can only watch the game outside the hemp rope.
A bonfire is lit every five steps (about six meters) in the venue.
By the light of the blazing bonfire, ordinary people could clearly see the actions of the contestants in the field. Shen Tang also got curious and got into the front row - he had to stand on tiptoe in the back row, so the viewing effect was not good - there was a pair of contestants in the field. The players wrestled on the thick wooden board.
Both of them are tall and strong men.
An arm can be as thick as an ordinary commoner's thigh. When exerting force, the muscles swell, making people's eyes hot.
But——
"It's still close to the ones from Gong Xiqiu." Gong Xiqiu's figure, hey, if anyone doesn't say a word after looking at him, Shen Tang would like to kill him Unscrew it and replace it with your own.
However, she squeezed her biceps in frustration and sighed.
Not to mention Gong Xiqiu, she can't even compete with these contestants off the field, and she has never had such a beautiful figure in this life.
I really want to be in a trance, one person is knocked down by the other.
The people watching cheered.
The winner smiled and waved.
At the same time, he pulled up his defeated generals with grace.
"Who else wants to challenge?"
He stood on the temporary wooden platform.
Invite challenges to other contestants confidently and loudly.
After asking three times, no one came forward to answer the challenge.
Shen Tang knew at a glance that this was the "favorite".
Curiosity asked the common people beside him: "Who is this person?"
The smile on the common people's faces has not faded.
The two were wrestling just now, and he screamed loudly.
“I don’t know, I just know it’s the 18th.”
Each contestant has his or her own ranking number.
This is also to make it easier for the people to support their favorite contestants - compared to a simple serial number, the contestant's name is not easy to remember - after confirming to participate in the competition, the contestant will receive his own waist card, which is as big as a slap in the face small wooden board.
Shen Tang silently wrote down the number 18.
Look back and ask if you are one of your own.
After a while, No. 18 still didn’t see the challenger. He was a little bored. As he was about to go down, he heard a calm male voice that was very familiar to Shen Tang. No. 18 was also a practicing martial artist. When he heard someone coming, his face became heavy.
The visitor said: "Twenty-three, please enlighten me."
Shen Tang was happy when he saw him.
Hey, isn’t this the Lili we haven’t seen for a long time?
The common people have little impression of No. 23. The few supporters are still because Li Li is tall and looks bigger than No. 18 at first glance. She has a relatively big advantage in terms of size, but wrestling also depends on skills. No. 18 has wrestled all the other contestants in the past few days, and her skills are mature, while Lili looks like a newbie at first glance.
No. 18 obviously knows Li Li.
He said: "Let's talk about the rules first. You can't use force."
Li Li nodded and raised his hand to tuck his sleeves.
The response was short: "I know."
No. 18 took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing rhythm.
He is actually an elite member of General Zhao Feng's private corps. He is also a second-class top class. Although he is not worth mentioning compared to those martial arts geniuses, it is enough for him to be in the private corps. I work as a small businessman and manage how many people I have.
General Zhao Feng admired Li Li very much.
I will give you a few pointers every now and then.
As a commander, No. 18 naturally met Li Li and exchanged a few words with him. He was more or less aware of Li Li's natural power. He could fight with third-class hairpins back and forth, but when he met a second-class superior, he would only get beaten.
Fortunately, this is wrestling and not unlimited martial arts.
When it comes to skills, you may not lose.
The two of them greeted each other and put on a posture.
His left foot is in front, his right foot is behind, and his center of gravity is stable.
The onlookers thought that he would be calm, observe the enemy's movements first, and then strike first. Unexpectedly, with the sound of a gong, No. 18, who was favored by others and had the upper hand, took the lead in attacking. The onlookers' eyes were dazzled, and No. 18 slipped his left foot forward.
The speed is so fast that it almost leaves an afterimage.
He approaches Lili.
Trying to hook Twenty-three’s left heel with his left foot.
If the surprise attack is successful, you can hold the back of his neck with your left hand and push right, and clasp the left ankle with your right hand to make his upper body lose the center of gravity. With another push, he will have the upper hand. However, Li Li obviously knew his intention and dodges very quickly.
While avoiding, do not forget to launch a swift attack.
The onlookers watched with their hearts hanging high.
“On the 18th!”
"No. 18! No. 18!"
"Top down No. 23! Come on! That's it!"
"Hey, I was dodged again! What a pity!"
< br>The man beside Shen Tang shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come on," and waved the handkerchief in his hand, which caused great damage to Shen Tang's ears, making his eardrums buzz loudly. She had no choice but to raise her hands to cover her friend's ears in that direction, tilting her head in the opposite direction to avoid being hit in the face by the other person's veil, but she forgot that there was someone on the other side of her, and the voice was no less generous.
"Ahhhhh--I'm going to fall, I'm going to fall! Fight back!"
"Twenty-three!!!"
Shen Tang covered his ears with both hands with a dull expression.
Not only from both sides, but also from behind, there were excited pushes.
On the stage, Li Li had already retreated his right foot into a left lunge.
The center of gravity is extremely stable.
No matter how hard No. 18 attacks, he won't budge.
At the same time, we will seize every opportunity to turn defense into offense.
Not long after, the two had already exchanged thirty or forty moves. The movement here also attracted the attention of other contestants, who all looked at the excitement. Opportunities are always fleeting, and victory or defeat is a matter of time. In a flash of lightning, No. 18's expression showed annoyance for a moment. Li Li had already stretched out his hand as fast as lightning, slid forward with his right foot, and inserted his left arm under No. 18's armpit.
Shen Tang said: "Oh, Lili is going to win."
As expected, the next moment No. 18 was thrown to the ground, his shoulders touched the ground, and Lili was restrained from counterattacking. .
"I lost."
No. 18 surrendered decisively.
Li Li let go of his hand and gasped slightly.
There is also a thin layer of sweat on the forehead.
He reached out and pulled No. 18 up from the ground.
Asked: "One more game?"
No. 18 smiled bitterly: "I thought I could securely win the first place, but I didn't expect to encounter a stumbling block like you."
At the same time, he signaled Beat the gong again.
The smell of gunpowder this time was not as strong as last time.
It is not so much a confrontation, but it is better to say that No. 18 points out No. 23 - after all, Li Li comes from a wild background, and only has brute strength and his own skills, which are quite rough. If it weren't for his great talent and his ability to master the game while playing and learning, No. 18 might not have lost. No. 18 is not a stingy person and is happy to help Li Li hone his skills.
Although it lacks the smell of gunpowder, it is still highly ornamental.
The difference is that Li Li has more supporters.
Shen Tang watched three shows.
No. 18 loses faster every time.
For the last time, No. 18 waved his hand and refused.
"I won't come, I won't come, it's boring to lose."
He knew that it was not easy for someone to be admired by General Zhao Feng, but he didn't expect that this guy could be so tyrannical without using force.
Li Li's serious face showed a smile.
“Go down and buy you a drink?”
“Seriously?”
At the mention of wine, No. 18's eyes lit up.
The fine wines in Fugu Department Store are in limited supply.
The finest wines.
If you go late, you’ll be gone. On the 18th, he got two drinks and shared the drinks with his brothers. He only tasted a few sips and was not satisfied at all.
As a well-known person in Shen Jun's account, Li Li must have a lot of wine, so he took advantage this time.
“It’s not the wine from Fugu Department Store.”
Li Li explained specially.
He didn’t grab the wine either.
“That’s okay, let’s go and have a drink!”
He held her in his arms and couldn't wait to push Li Li, fearing that he would be late and the free wine would fly away with wings.
Li Li was about to laugh, and then——
He couldn't laugh anymore.
“Damn it, the big brother behind you, don’t push me!”
Among the crowd, there was a short figure who was pushed forward by the people behind him and was forced to climb over the hemp rope. , staggered two steps before standing still. The big brother who was sitting in the corner playing the gong saw this man coming out and said with a smile: "But you want to challenge me?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Do you think she is here to challenge?
Shen Tang explained: "I was pushed out."
Is she wrestling with Li Li?
My thighs are not as thick as other people’s arms.
The man who knocked the gong was nearby, so naturally he saw it and reminded her with a smile: "Go back quickly, the common people are not allowed to cross the rope."
"You will be fined three coins for crossing the rope."
< br>This is also to prevent some excited people from running out. It would be bad if they were accidentally injured by the contestants.
Li Li has good night vision. Even without the light of the campfire, he can see clearly the identity of the person coming, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Just about to blurt out the word "Lord".
Shen Tang raised his hand to stop.
At the same time, he straightened his mask.
She didn’t want to reveal her identity and disturb other people’s enjoyment of the fun, and she felt uncomfortable herself: “Have you brought any money?”
Of course Li Li did.
However, the purse is only twenty dollars.
Shen Tang borrowed three dollars from him and paid the "fine".
Squeezing out of the crowd, when there were not many people around, Li Li asked in a low voice: "Why did my lord come out alone?"
"Why not?"
Li Li said: "My lord's safety is important."
You have to take two guards with you even if you run out.
Shen Tang complained: "It's not like a three-year-old child. He needs an adult to follow him when he goes out. Don't say this is Fugu City. It's under my rule. It's in other places. What's the difference between a bad guy meeting me and meeting King Yama?" You should worry about the bad guys..."
Li Li: "..."
Think about the master's ability...
This is indeed the truth.
Shen Tang didn’t want to ruin Li Li’s fun of drinking with his friends, so he raised his hand to dismiss him and said, “I have nothing to do and wander around to see if there is anything missing. You two can also have fun.”< br>
There are some things that only common people can see.
Shen Tang cannot be seen with the title of Shen Jun.
Li Li nodded clearly.
"Lend me some money and I'll pay you back later."
She said it without blushing.
Shen Tang is poor in the true sense of the word.
The word penniless refers to her.
Because she ran away temporarily, no one prepared any pocket money for her. The money to buy this nine-tailed fox mask with white background and red stripes was spent by touching all the places on her body where there might be money, and pocketing it in her sleeves. When he took it out, he used his mouth to speak a lot and said a bunch of auspicious words to the store before he bought it at a discount. Anyway, the store didn't know about her vest, so she didn't have any psychological burden at all.
Li Li, who was borrowed money by his lord for the first time: "..."
The two poor men divided the remaining copper coins.
No. 18 remained silent throughout.
He just had one question -
Who will pay for the drinks later?
He didn’t want to be detained for drinking Bawang wine.
Li Li looked at the remaining assets and saw the subtle look in No. 18's eyes. He couldn't help but feel his cheeks heat up, out of sheer embarrassment. Fortunately, I have dark skin, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
No. 18 asked: "Are you going to drink?"
Li Li said: "I still have a few notes."
As the reputation of Fugu Department Store grows day by day, Some shops in Fugu City also recognize the value of "slivers", and ordinary people can use them to exchange for goods in the store. However, they do not have the discounts offered by Fugu Department Store, so ordinary people need to make up a small amount of money themselves. Li Li estimated that he could barely afford a meal.
He said: "Go and drink!"
Hearing this, No. 18 felt his heart beat.
In the same mood as him, there was Kang Shi, who rarely had a moment of leisure and went shopping on the street. He was stopping in front of a stall, looking at the gadgets on it. He was fascinated when someone tapped his shoulder, and he turned his head...
No one there? ? ?
“Ji Shou!”
Kang Shi lowered his head slightly, oh, it’s the lord.
"How can the Lord get one person?"
Shen Tang saw Kang Shi from afar.
The moment she saw him, Shen Tang, who was troubled by poverty, suddenly had an idea in his mind and found a way to make money.
"Come out and get some air. You and Lili came up and asked the same questions. What can happen to me alone?"
Kang Shi said: "No, I am worried that something will happen to others. . ”
My family knows their own affairs.
Kang Shi didn't think that there were brave warriors in Fugu City who were as brave as Gong Xiqiu and Zhai Le. Otherwise, if he offended the lord, he would be killed thousands of miles away, which would be too little courtesy but too much affection.
Shen Tang: "..."
She chose to skip this unpleasant topic.
Looked at Kang Shi's money bag.
"Does Ji Shou have any extra money?"
Kang Shi twisted the withered money bag and shook it.
Move to the lord to see for himself.
Listening to the voice, it’s only copper, probably more than Shen Tang. It is impossible to be rich if you are rich. Poverty is their core culture. If the master is poor, how can the people below be rich?
Shen Tang pursed his lips: "Then what are you watching?"
Kang Shi said: "It doesn't cost anything to watch."
If you really like it, you can go back and get the money to buy it again.
Shen Tang pretended to clear his throat and coughed twice, not knowing where to start. Kang Shi saw that she was hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to say something to herself, but was too embarrassed to say it. Then he took the initiative and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
"Hehe -" Shen Tang smiled, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder, smiling a little maliciously, "Since you and I are Money is tight, Ji Shou Do you want to go over and get some money to spend? I just saw a hidden gambling stall..."
Kang Shi sighed: "If my lord is short of money, just run back and get some, why bother? To contact those? It's not a good deed. If my cousin finds out, he will have to make trouble again."
Shen Tang is eloquent and as thick-skinned as the corner of a city wall. He can't be cut with a knife or pierced by a spear: "You don't. Say it, if I don’t say it, what about Yuanliang? How do you know? Besides, sooner or later, the money in the hands of gamblers will be taken away by the bookmakers. Instead of benefiting from the gambling stalls, it can also indirectly benefit the people of Fugu City, right?"
Kang Shi: "..."
You can spot the lord's Xiao Jiujiu at a glance.
The lord definitely wants to use his skills as a scribe to make money, but - has the lord ever thought that once the two of them get on the gambling table, will the one who will lose every bet be the lord himself?
Kang Shi said calmly: "My lord has your destiny, I dare not disobey it."
_(:з)∠)_
In the comments, I saw some objections to the word "common people".
This word does not have a derogatory meaning, it refers to civilians without fame.
Similar referring words, such as Limin (initially referring to slaves, and later referring to civilians), Qianshou (Qin was still dark during the war, and the common people mostly wore black headscarves).
The term common people refers to nobles in the Warring States Period, such as "pingzhang common people". There is no specific era background in the article.
Common people and common people use mixed terms.
