"Ahem!"
Lin You stood on the porch, cleared her throat, and held up the banner in a gesture: "Okay, I announce that the first Autumn Family Games fully sponsored by myself has officially begun!"
"This sports meeting is held on the basis of consuming excess energy, saving public facilities expenses, maintaining good health, rejecting a lot of fat, and the principle of absolute fairness, justice and openness! I hope everyone will work hard, actively participate, and create wonderful memories together!"
"Wow~"
Although Bai Guo said that he didn't understand, but he was very face-saving, his eyes were shining, he raised his little hands and applauded happily, and dangled on the little wooden horse made by Xiao Xiao.
"Meow..." In contrast, Zhaocai lacked interest and responded perfunctorily.
The ears of the raccoon dog next to it moved, and there was great doubt in its small eyes; Jinbao was the farthest away from the big cat, shrinking himself into a thin line to reduce the sense of existence; while the only plant simply basked in the sun without moving, Play dead quietly.
Lin You: "..."
Only Bai Guo applauded, she looked at Xiao Xiao, the Zombie King understood, and clapped twice.
… no! Even if a trust is mixed in, the atmosphere is too negative!
Lin You could only use his trump card: "The champion will have extra meals for the next month."
"Wow!"
"Meow!!"
Very good, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Except for the raccoon dog who was still out of shape, everyone else showed unprecedented high emotions, gearing up and ready to go.
Lin You gave the microphone to Xiao Xiao: "Then next, let the referee speak."
"..." With a small bamboo whistle hanging around his neck, Xiao Xiao held an unpeeled corn cob in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he managed to find a line, "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Come on everyone."
Lin You was serious: "The referee said it well! Okay, now is the entry time for contestant No. 1—"
Bai Guo responded with a cooperative "Ah!", and with the help of the vines, he struggled to climb off the small wooden horse, and walked out with his head held high, and the little wings on his back proudly spread out.
Lin You took out the harmonica and prepared to play a classic background music for her.
Xiao Xiao quickly stopped her, saying earnestly: "You can't persecute children, they are talented in music."
"..."
That's too much.
Lin You was depressed: "I can do the athletes' march!"
"Yeah." Xiao Xiao looked over with a tolerant gaze.
Before the event started, the organizer had a conflict with the referee, and the players who hadn't played yet looked over one after another.
Lin You finally regretted giving up under Xiao Xiao's persuasion, but it would be meaningless (for her) for the contestants to appear in this way. She kissed the face of No. 1 contestant as a compliment, and ruthlessly canceled this session.
Zhaocai waiting behind: "?"
The reason given by Lin You is high-sounding: "After all, there are players who cannot play, and we must respect species diversity."
The contestant, who did not want to be named, shook his petals to show his approval.
In short, the opening link just skipped over. Lin You continued: "When it comes to species diversity, after all, all contestants are of different races and have their own advantages in different events. In order to maintain fairness and increase fun, we have carefully selected a sacred and traditional way to determine the competition events. "
With a wave of her hand, Xiao Xiao took out a lottery from behind her back, and composed a sound effect in a flat voice: "Qiang Qiang."
Lin You said, "It's just a lottery."
All by luck, very fair.
Bai Guo: "Ah~"
No one seems to have an opinion. Xiao Xiao shook the lottery, Lin You randomly picked one, and the first one to be drawn was a classic event that anyone with legs could participate in, the 50-meter sprint.
Xiao Xiao asked Xiaohong to pull a green vine to make the finish line at the gate of the courtyard, measure the distance, and draw the starting line.
Lin You originally wanted to directly exclude Carnivorous Flower from this competition, but it insisted on using vines to participate, otherwise it would keep "whooping", so she could only reluctantly agree to this request.
After the starting line, the players take their positions.
Xiao Xiao whistled, and Lin You saw Zhaocai and the vines galloping out, the speed was so fast that there were only afterimages left, and Jinbao, who was a little slower, was more flexible than them, and came from behind in the blink of an eye, and then—
… huddled halfway through.
First, the vine did not hesitate to make a sinister trick to trip up Zhaocai, the big cat slipped its foot, and the fireball it spit out hit Jinbao in the air, burning a corner of its beautiful tail fin, and the fish that was about to reach the end was so angry Resolutely turned back and spit at the two annoying spirits.
The battle location this time does not belong to "home", and the unrestricted mutant creatures play more unrestrainedly. Lin You watched as the buds on the vines bloomed and emitted poisonous gas, and Zhao Cai Jin Bao showed no mercy, the flames and torrents took off, raising a cloud of mist.
On the road full of dangers, Bai Guo, who was deliberately avoided, walked slowly with her short legs, and the raccoon dog clung to her feet tremblingly, eyes full of bewilderment.
Lin You: "..."
I really think too much about expecting you to play normally.
In a short period of time, the battle situation changed again. Xiaohong and Zhaocai realize that Jinbao's strength is suppressing, and the two who are usually incompatible suddenly join forces and give priority to attacking Feiyu who has the air supremacy. And while they were fighting to the death, Bai Guo had already moved a small half of the way.
Lin You turned to Xiao Xiao next to her: "Referee, don't you want to stop it?"
Xiao Xiao was braiding her hair, and blinked suspiciously when she heard this: "The rules of the competition, there is no rule that you cannot eliminate your opponent?"
... Actually, there is no such regulation. Rather, the whole event has an informal atmosphere, without any clear rules, and the final interpretation right belongs to the organizer.
Lin You looked at the little girl who was tired from walking and sat on the ground to rest for a while before continuing: "...Okay."
When Ginkgo and Raccoon arrived at the finish line one after the other, the fight outside was not over yet. Lin You cut a piece of pear and fed it to the elated first place, and praised her a lot, Jin Bao finally got rid of the other two with absolute strength and won the third place.
Xiao Xiao just finished braiding Lin You's hair and freed up her hands to score them.
The penultimate second broke out the second struggle for who is at the bottom. Lin You didn't bother to care about them, and drew out the second item - kicking the shuttlecock. The props were handmade by Lin You, using the pheasant tail feathers that Raccoon brought two days ago.
In this competition, those who have no legs are eliminated first, and then those who cannot complete the difficult action of kicking the shuttlecock with their hind legs are eliminated. Baiguo wins without a fight.
…
Fate is indeed very fair.
Before Lin You drew the eleventh event, she glanced at the point table in Xiao Xiao's hand. Bai Guo was far ahead with her social talent, and Jin Bao took second place with her ability. Raccoon got the third place after all the troubles.
"Are you saying you are ashamed?"
Xiaohong and Zhaocai didn't really want to talk to her.
After repeated battles and repeated defeats, they obviously have no interest, which is not acceptable.
After playing all morning, it's time for the little girl to take a rest. Lin You said: "Okay. Since Baby Guoguo's record is too dazzling, let her retire as the champion. I will play the next game with you. This time, the winner will be determined in one game."
Zhaocai immediately rallied and sat up from the ground.
Lin You drew the eleventh lottery: "This time the event is... Quidditch? Huh?"
Didn't she write this as a joke yesterday when she and Xiao Xiao signed the sign? Who didn't have a Hogwarts dream when they were young? But she remembered that in order not to confuse it, she threw it away after writing... Ah, this is Xiao Xiao's handwriting.
Xiao Xiao took out a glass bottle, which contained a gleaming golden...beetle.
"Golden Snitch." She said to Lin You, "This way we can play."
Lin You: "..."
There is no need to fulfill this childhood dream for her... And what kind of snitch is this, no, the snitch is not important at all, the most important thing is the broom! The kind that can fly.
Xiao Xiao held the glass bottle and looked at her.
... Forget it, it doesn't really matter.
Lin You met her gaze, immediately accepted the setting without hindrance, opened the glass bottle and released the panicked beetle: "Let's count down ten seconds, whoever catches it first and puts it back in the bottle will win. Ten, nine …”
The Beetle fluttered its wings and flew high in the eyes of so many eyes.
"... three, two, one!"
The last sound fell, except for Jin Bao himself, no one cared about the beetles, and they all attacked the flying fish with air superiority!
The moment Lin You got entangled in the vine, she seized the opportunity to jump up and hang directly on the tail fin. The besieged fish turned around, spit out a curtain of water to beat the annealed big cat, escaped from the vine, and rushed towards the beetle flying in the air.
Lin You firmly grabbed the fish by its tail, dragging its hind legs.
A little hurt from being pulled, Jin Bao flipped in the air to avoid the attacks of the other two, and wanted to throw her away by the way.
This is what Lin You was waiting for, and when she found the opportunity to let go, she took advantage of the opportunity and fell towards the Beetle—she couldn't fly, there was only this way. Fortunately, I was lucky and succeeded once.
Grabbing the buzzing "Golden Snitch", Lin You shouted, "Xiao Xiao!"
The mutant creatures chasing over subconsciously stopped for a second.
Xiao Xiao didn't need her to remind her, she was already prepared, when she jumped over the wall, she just caught the falling Lin You, and landed safely outside. She still has time to accuse Lin You of inappropriate behavior: "It's dangerous."
"My skills have improved, thanks to my training." Lin You boasted. Although she didn't know who she was complimenting, she saw the three chasing after her. It seemed that even the zombie king was not afraid after having fun. She held the beetle and patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder, "Run, run! Don't let them catch up!"
She was also very excited to play.
Xiao Xiao had no choice but to run out with her in his arms. The Zombie King became serious, and it would be no problem to get rid of them. Lin You watched the scenery reverse rapidly in her arms, the wind blew on her face and messed up her hair, feeling like she was riding a motorcycle.
Zhaocai, who couldn't catch up, meowed angrily, she laughed loudly, and then heard Xiao Xiao's helpless chuckle.
They stopped somewhere on the edge of a cliff. Lin You put the dying beetle into her pocket, and the mountain wind blew in her face. She stretched her waist, and Xiao Xiao and Xiao Xiao combed each other's hair.
Looking down from the cliff, it is the plain where they flew kites in spring. Now there are no blooming flowers, only withered grass. But the plain stretches as far as the eye can see, and the autumn is crisp and clear. Looking at it this way, it feels like the world is vast, and only the two of them are left.
Xiao Xiao said: "... It's like when we first met."
Lin You could hear what she meant: "Isn't it good now?"
"It's also very good now. But..." Xiao Xiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Occasionally, I want to be alone with Youzi, only two of us."
Lin You was slightly taken aback.
After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, she didn't get a response, so she couldn't help turning her head in doubt...and just bumped into her tiptoe kiss.
Gentle and loving, but also extremely lingering pursuit.
After parting, they also looked at each other. Lin You smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in her softly smiling eyes: "Then, next time, find a chance to get rid of them and escape."
