Fang Xiaoxi was very satisfied with Nan Nan's answer: "Then it's settled. I'll go back and tell the village chief."
The government had issued a notice that it would be held soon, so she had to act quickly.
Nan Nan nodded: "Okay, then be careful on your way back. I will go tell those guys now. I'm sure they will be happy to know."
The two of them went about their business. Fang Xiaoxi quickly returned to the village and found the village chief: "Village chief, village, Nan Nan has agreed to represent our village in the battle!"
Village Chief Fang also said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll go to the town to sign up now."
You know, if you sign up now, the queue is very long. Village Chief Fang is not young anymore, Fang Xiaoxi is still a little worried.
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
The two of them went to the county town to line up. Fang Shaohua was really fair. Even if Fang Xiaoxi came, she still had to line up.
Follow the village chief to line up and register, and then wait for the competition to begin.
"Village Chief, I won't accompany you. Be careful on your way back."
The village chief looked at the sky getting darker and was a little worried: "You're not going home tonight?"
The competition was about to start, and Fang Xiaoxi really had no plans to go home. She smiled and said, "I live in town, and I won't go back tonight."
The village chief only then remembered that the county magistrate in the town was already Fang Xiaoxi's biological brother, so it seemed there was no problem for her to live in her elder brother's house.
Fang Xiaoxi watched the village chief leave before turning around and walking towards the gym. Sure enough, Nan Nan hadn't left yet, and everyone was still gathered together.
"Xiao Xi, you're here. Have you finished the registration?"
Nan Nan was the first to see Fang Xiaoxi. He stood up, walked over and asked about the registration matters.
Fang Xiaoxi nodded immediately: "It's already been arranged. Tomorrow, those who have registered will go to draw lots together to decide the order of appearance."
"So you have to go with me tomorrow. It's so late, let's disperse. When you compete, you must be serious. Don't make any mistakes."
Once you join the competition, you must get the best, as it is related to the reputation of the Bingjian Palace.
Nan Nan hadn't thought of so much, but Fang Xiaoxi had already thought about it in advance. Many team members nodded: "Don't worry, vice-captain, we will definitely not lose."
Everyone was talking big, Fang Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head, then looked at Nan Nan: "Where are you staying tonight? I'm staying at the government office for one night, how about you?"
Nan Nan thought for a moment and said, "I'll stay here tonight. I'll take you there."
He casually dispersed all the guys gathered here, and then followed Fang Xiaoxi all the way towards the yamen.
Fang Shaohua was also very busy today. Tomorrow he would have to lead people to count the draws and then start the competition. When he saw Nan Nan sending Fang Xiaoxi back, his eyes lit up.
"Nannan, you're here just in time. I have something to talk to you about."
Nan Nan smiled and said, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's not a big deal. I want to use your Cuju team's playing field for this Cuju competition. What do you think?"
"By the way, have you eaten dinner tonight? If not, stay and eat together."
Fang Shaohua was very enthusiastic and invited Nan Nan to stay for dinner. He also borrowed the Cuju team's playing field.
Nan Nan naturally had no objection: "You can use it, but I'm worried that other teams will feel it's unfair."
Seeing that Nan Nan stayed, Fang Xiaoxi went to help her sister-in-law prepare dinner.
Nan Nan discussed things with Fang Shaohua, and after dinner, they went back to rest. Before leaving, he made an appointment with Fang Xiaoxi to draw lots tomorrow.
In the lottery hall, many people gathered together, talking in groups of three or four, apparently discussing the lottery.
Fang Xiaoxi and Nan Nan also walked in at this time. As soon as they came in, they found that the whole hall had become quiet.
Everyone was staring at them. Nan Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone: "What do you mean by this? Are we disturbing you?"
Everyone immediately waved their hands: "No, no, Master Mu, that's not right."
Everyone knows that Mr. Mu's father, the previous county magistrate, must have been promoted. This is not the case. Fang Shaohua, who was previously a legal advisor, has also become a magistrate.
So he was more respectful to Nan Nan. Nan Nan said, "Then everyone should do what you need to do."
Fang Xiaoxi and I found a seat and sat down, waiting for the lottery ceremony. Nan Nan took a quick look and saw that there were more than 200 people here!
"Do you know how many teams have signed up this time?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "I know. I checked the statistics yesterday. There are about 140 teams. In addition to the teams from each village, there are also teams from the town and some private teams."
140 teams, if you want to make it to the end, you will probably have to go through five or six competitions. Nan Nan couldn't help but frowned.
When Fang Shaohua arrived, the hall fell silent again. Fang Shaohua smiled and looked at everyone: "Is everyone here?"
"Let me announce the election rules. There are quite a lot of teams signing up, so our rules this time are very simple."
"We have written the numbers on the draw. Each team that is drawn will look at the number on it, and the odd-numbered team will play against the even-numbered team. The team that wins will continue to participate."
"The losing team will be the one that participates. This way there will be 70 teams left in the next round. It's the same thing, half of them will participate."
"It will continue until the last team is left. If you want to compete, you can find a venue by yourselves. When there are only ten teams left, I will provide the venue. Okay, let's start the draw now."
Everyone below started lining up, and each team leader was asked to come up and draw lots. Nan Nan also followed and started drawing lots.
Many people are paying attention to Nan Nan, and obviously they don’t want to get together with Nan Nan, as they will definitely lose.
As we all know, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. The Cuju team of Tianxia Yifang is very strong, and no one wants to be eliminated in the first round.
"I drew number 2, who is number 1?"
Number 1 was the first one to sign up, and everyone was guessing that Number 1 might be the Tianxia Yifang Cuju Team.
After a long while, a voice rang out: "I am number 1. Our two teams are competing together. Please go easy on me."
When the captain of Team No. 2 saw that it was not the Cuju team from Tianxia Yifang, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath.
"It's the same for everyone. It all depends on your ability. By the way, which stadium are we playing in?"
"If that doesn't work, we can just compete in our village. What do you think?"
"No problem. It's settled then. Let's make an appointment. Yes, go register first and come back to report the results in the afternoon."
"Where is No. 5?" This is No. 6 looking for No. 5.
"Where is number 16?"
"Where is number 19?"
…
The hall was full of people, all looking for the team they were competing against. Fang Xiaoxi registered late, so she got number 100.
After Nan Nan got the number, he knew that the number he was looking for was No. 99, but he felt that if he went to look for it, the other party would be scared and would not dare to respond.
So it would be better to wait for others to come to him, so he came to Fang Xiaoxi and looked at her.
"No. 100, your registration time is just right, neither too early nor too late."
Fang Xiaoxi's mouth twitched: "This is a coincidence. Now listen, No. 99 will definitely look for No. 100."
The two people had made the same decision, and luckily they didn't have to wait long before they heard someone shouting, "No. 100, where is No. 100?"
Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi looked at each other, then raised their heads and said, "Here."
When the man heard Nan Nan's voice, he was startled: "Why is it you? Why are you number 100?"
What does it mean to die before achieving success? This is it. If I meet Tianxia Yifang, do I still have a chance? Definitely not. Now I just hope I don't lose too badly.
Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi had already walked towards that person: "It's us, it looks like we are destined to meet each other."
Who wants this fate? I don't want it at all. Li Dasheng said with a sad face: "I hope Master Mu will show mercy when the time comes."
Nan Nan smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. By the way, do you have a venue? Which venue shall we hold the competition?"
The others confirmed that Nan Nan was No. 100, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and started shouting loudly for their opposing teams.
Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi had already got their own battle teams and looked at No. 99. No. 99 had decided to throw in the towel.
"Just go to your Cuju field."
After all, the Cuju field in their village was really shabby and not worth showing off.
Nan Nan nodded: "Okay, then go and bring your team to the Cuju field. Let's get started. By the way, Xiao Xi, go and register with him first."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay."
As soon as she walked over, Fang Xiaoxi met several people who came forward to borrow the competition venue. However, thinking that they needed it for their own use and were not sure how long it would take, Fang Xiaoxi refused.
After registering, I went to find Nan Nan, who had already brought the Lijia Cuju team from Lijia Village to the stadium.
There are competitions every day at the stadium. When everyone arrives, they can start the competition directly. When Fang Xiaoxi came back, the players of each team had already gone up.
"Vice-captain, you're back. The game is about to start."
Fang Xiaoxi was about to go in when she saw Li Tong walking over with a smile: "Xiaoxi, is there a Cuju team match today? I want to go in and take a look, is that ok?"
There were a few pretty girls following behind Li Tong. Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes: "Sure, who are these girls?"
Li Tong looked at Fang Xiaoxi helplessly: "You really are a forgetful person."
