Chapter 57: Bet

Views:

There were crowds of people, drums and gongs were beating loudly, and laughter and joy were heard everywhere.

The long-awaited day of the water competition between the two villages has begun. If you have not seen it with your own eyes, it is hard to imagine that such a serious day of water competition between the two villages can be so lively. No matter whether it is the elderly or the children, everyone has carefully washed and dressed up, and they are dressed like it is the New Year. Especially the young men, in groups of three or five, have taken a bath and put on new clothes, and they are trying their best to show themselves in front of the girls from the neighboring village. The girls' families also rarely relax their restraints on them on this day, giving them rare freedom.

The location where the two villages held the water competition was at the junction of the two villages, not far from the river, and near two hills seven or eight meters high. In the open area, there were crowds of people, all of whom were lively villagers from the two villages. In the middle of the crowd, there was a wooden platform of more than 20 square meters. On the platform sat five village heads, village elders and other respected people from the two villages. Master Sun was among them, drinking and chatting happily with another person of similar age.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still see some seriousness in the bustle. For example, the village chiefs and the village elders sitting at the same table are joking and chatting, but you can see the intention of fighting. Of course, the most serious atmosphere is the main force of the two village stations fighting for water, 60 children.

Zhu Ping'an and more than 20 naughty kids stood in two rows, listening to an uncle in front of them talking endlessly to boost morale. He talked about the honors won by the village in the water war over the years, and then talked about what rewards there would be after winning the water battle. In short, the more than 20 naughty kids were encouraged so much that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they screamed as if they were full of chicken blood.

Zhu Ping'an stood stupidly among a group of naughty kids with red faces, thick necks and loud voices, and had no reaction to the uncle's words.

"Shame on you, Zhu Ping'an, you big idiot... Just wait, you will be beaten to a pulp..." The sinister little loli appeared out of nowhere, riding her little red horse, and making faces at Zhu Ping'an.

"Miss, wait for me..." The chubby little maid Hua'er chased after them, panting as she lifted up her skirt.

This vindictive girl must have said hello to the naughty kids in her village who were fighting for water.

Such a pretty little Lolita came over to cause trouble, and the uncle who was there to boost morale was reluctant to say anything to her, which made the black-hearted little Lolita even more arrogant.

"You will lose." Zhu Ping'an ignored the little actions of the sinister little loli and said lightly.

It feels like an athlete who is warming up before the swimming competition even starts, but is told by the referee that he has lost.

The scheming little loli was having fun making faces, but when Zhu Ping'an poured a basin of cold water on her, she immediately jumped in anger.

"You're talking nonsense!" The sinister little loli Li Shu waved her little whip at Zhu Ping'an and said angrily.

"I might talk nonsense alone, but we as a group won't talk nonsense, right?" Zhu Ping'an said calmly, then turned around and asked the naughty kids around him who were encouraged by the uncle, "Do you think they will lose?"

The naughty kids, who were flushed with excitement and worried about not having a chance to vent, shouted at the top of their lungs, "They will lose. They will lose without even a trousers. Hahaha..."

The loser doesn't even have pants...

The scheming little Lolita blushed when she heard this, and she also blushed with anger. Zhu Ping'an's hatred value was also extremely high.

"You, all of you shut up! Zhu Ping'an, do you dare to bet with me?" The black-bellied little Loli was furious, and the naughty children were shocked and stopped laughing one by one.

However, after the naughty kids heard the bet made by the scheming little Lolita Li Shu, they all started to make a fuss again, "Bet, bet, Zhu Ping'an made a bet with her, if she loses she will be your wife, hahaha..."

"You bastards, shut up! I won't marry a toad, I'm a little swan!" The black-hearted little Lolita was so angry that she wanted to ride on her little red horse and whip them one by one to vent her anger.

"Zhu Ping'an, do you dare to bet with me?" The sinister little loli shouted at Zhu Ping'an.

"What are you betting on?" Zhu Ping'an felt unwell after being described as a toad by the sinister little loli.

"We won, but you have to promise me one thing." The sinister little loli shouted at Zhu Ping'an.

"Then you lost." Zhu Pingan asked back.

"We won't lose!" The scheming little Loli didn't know where she got her confidence from.

"What if we lose?" Zhu Ping'an insisted.

"Even if you lose, I will promise you one thing." The scheming little Loli thought for a long time before speaking.

"Oh, if you lose, you can just wait to become Zhu Ping'an's wife, hahaha..." A group of naughty kids who were excited were shouting and making a fuss.

The scheming little Lolita said loudly and coldly, "You are the ones who will lose!" Then she rode away angrily on her little red horse.

Before leaving, the maidservant Baozi glared at Zhu Pingan. This little brat is too bad. It's fine that he spanked the young lady and others, but he also deliberately told ghost stories to scare others that day. That's too much. Humph, wait until you lose this time, and see how the young lady will deal with this little brat! Oh, should I spank him or scold him? It's so difficult.

"When they lose, let them accompany you and be your servant. Then see if he can still act so arrogant!" The dark little loli said angrily while riding on the little red horse.

"Ah? Miss, don't..."

Hua'er, the little maid running behind him, heard this and whispered in grievance, but she seemed to be looking forward to it. If that little brat could become a servant like herself, wouldn't he be able to listen to stories every day? Oh, what are you thinking? I don't want to. I am a first-class maid. I have to punish him to sweep the floor, fetch water and feed the yellow dog every day. I have to work before dawn and I can't rest even after dark... He is a bad guy who spanked others!

After the black-bellied little Lolita made such a fuss, the naughty kids in Xiahe Village seemed to become even more excited. They rolled up their sleeves and were eager to teach the naughty kids in Shanghe Village a lesson on the spot.

After a brief meeting and discussion, the village chiefs and elders of the two villages stood up from the platform together, each worshipped their ancestors in the direction of their own village, then killed a rooster and dripped a drop of chicken blood into everyone's wine glass on the platform, similar to a blood oath. They swore together that no matter what the result of the water dispute between the villages, they would abide by it together, and then drank the wine dripped with chicken blood.

At this time, the audience cheered loudly, and the competition for water in the village station officially began.
