A group of people in the early morning were scolded all over by a little Luoli, but they still couldn't refute. The faces of a group of people were twitching, as black as the bottom of a pot.
Only Ren Baqian was in a good mood, so he almost hummed a little tune.
Anyway, I'm not alone.
"Although you are a bunch of good-for-nothings, since grandpa has spoken, I will reluctantly take you to participate in a lamp grab. Just don't hold back." Tong Lan continued, after thinking about it, she sighed, with an aggrieved expression on her face: " It’s impossible for you bastards not to hold back, the first time I participated in grabbing the lamp, I was ruined in your hands.”
"Friendship comes first, competition comes second, and the most important thing is participation!" Ren Baqian added.
The four brothers of the Du family nodded together, like chickens pecking at rice.
Tonglan squinted at him: "The good-for-nothings are so self-consoling. Why take the second place when you can take the first place?"
Ren Baqian looked down at Tonglan and sighed slightly: "You still don't know what the real meaning of robbing the lamp is. Do you think so many people rob the lamp just to decide a champion?"
Tonglan raised her small face with contempt: "Could it be to make friends!"
"Not all, but you are still too young to understand the meaning, I understand very well." Ren Baqian continued to speak, with a doting expression on his face.
Tonglan saw it and really wanted to give him a kick.
Everyone else looked at Ren Baqian to see what he had to say.
"The purpose of this event is to educate the youth of the ancient ethnic group through sports without any discrimination and with the spirit of grabbing the lamp - mutual understanding in the spirit of excellence, unity and fair competition, so as to contribute to a peaceful and better world. contribute.
Can be highly summarized as: "peace, friendship, progress."
Copper Orchid: …
Du Changkong: ...
Everyone: ...
Everyone was astonished, they never thought that such a profound meaning could be expressed in a lantern festival.
Ren Baqian waved his arms, our slogan is: "Higher, faster, stronger!"
"Your Excellency still sees it clearly. Peace, friendship, and progress are the purpose of our participation in the lantern festival. Higher, faster, and stronger are our slogans." Du Changkong applauded immediately.
Everyone has an embarrassing look on their faces, are we talking about the same thing as you two? How do you feel that something is not right
Ren Baqian doesn't care if they believe it or not, anyway, it has to be said so.
After a while, I will discuss with His Majesty to post this purpose and slogan all over Lancheng.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about the arrangements. Tonglan will be the lamp holder to grab the lamp, and I will be the tooth door to open the way. Among the others, the Tong family, Xu Le and Jiang Hu are divided into left and right sweep poles, and Tong Lan is the guard. Lan, Du Changkong and your brothers are sentinels to stop the opponent's sentinels from approaching, and to support the sweep." Ren Baqian said with a slap.
Xu Le and Jiang Hu are the two guards in the palace.
This is a relatively common arrangement.
However, grabbing the light is not a football game after all, and most of the time there will still be a chaotic battle at the end. The most critical of them are only two people, one is Yamen, who is dedicated to opening the way for the lamp head. hindered.
The other is the lamp holder. Send the lamp holder under the shelf, and the main thing to look at is the lamp holder.
It is not allowed for the lamp head to cross the Yamen to go to the lamp stand alone. You must have Yamen or two sweeping poles by your side, otherwise you will be eliminated. Just like on the battlefield, the general can't leave the army and rush into the opponent's army alone, right
This rule of grabbing the light is also the most basic way to cultivate the team's combat habits.
Therefore, it is often held in the military. It is not only held during the Chinese New Year, but it is not so grand at ordinary times.
The status in Dayao is equivalent to modern football.
Lamp holders are generally the strongest in the team, followed by Yamen.
Everyone had no opinion on Tonglan as a lamp holder, but Ren Baqian was a bit frightened when he wanted to make a tooth door.
"You make teeth?" Tonglan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Do you want me to go to the light stand with your burden on my back?"
Ren Baqian waved his hand: "Don't underestimate me, I have already made arrangements, and I won't hold back when the time comes, no one can stop me in front."
"Do you believe this?" Tong Lan asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"You can't use weapons, but you can wear armor, right?" Ren Baqian asked rhetorically.
"You just pack yourself into a turtle, is it useful?"
"Hmph, when the time comes, I'll show you what it means to be unstoppable!" Ren Baqian had a confident face.
Although the ancient people are very powerful, those who participated in the lantern festival were not mediocre.
But the tiger couldn't speak when it met the hedgehog.
Everyone stared at him, wanting to know where his self-confidence came from.
Tonglan puffed up a bunny face and said in frustration: "It's over, the first time I participated in the lantern festival, I couldn't even get close to the shelf. It's so embarrassing. If it is mentioned in the future, it will be full of black history. I will make a picture tomorrow." Cover your face with a cloth."
She also learned the word "black history" from Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian looked at her steamed bun face and wanted to pinch it, but he didn't dare to think about it.
It is estimated that I will have to wear a plaster cast to participate in the light grab.
"Today is to meet each other. Don't worry too much. Even if I can't win, I won't blame you. As I said before, friendship comes first and competition comes second. Our goal is: higher and faster , stronger!"
Everyone continued to look at him embarrassingly, it was because of you that they couldn't win.
Otherwise, there may still be a little hope.
After having you, that bit of hope is gone.
"The next thing is to meet here after noon on the first day of the new year, and then we will go to grab the lights together." Ren Baqian said to several people, and everyone else nodded, except Tonglan who was still there with an expression of displeasure Muttering, like chatter, but Ren Baqian ignored it.
The lantern festival starts at five o'clock, about seven o'clock in the evening.
Usually arrive at You hour one hour in advance to participate. Ren Baqian was two hours ahead of time, just to discuss it when he thought about it, so it would be fine if he didn't grind his guns quickly.
"You guys, I'll see you in five days." Ren Baqian bowed his hands at the crowd, and left with his guards on a horned bull.
Tonglan watched Ren Baqian go away, snorted, and landed on the back of the horned ox in a blink of an eye, and rode back on the horned ox without waiting for the other two.
After several people had left, Du Changqing said, "It seems unreliable!"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I didn't expect to win." Du Changkong said.
Several people nodded.
During the Lantern Festival, talented people will indeed emerge in large numbers, and several outstanding young people will participate. After all, this is also the time to show the strength of the next generation.
Compared with those people, a few of them are really not enough.
The next day, notices were posted everywhere in Lancheng, and many people gathered around them curiously to explain what was written on them.
Just listen to the person in the middle saying with a strange face: "This announcement means that this year's lantern festival will be held through sports without any discrimination and with the spirit of grabbing the lantern - with the spirit of excellence, unity and fair competition. To contribute to a peaceful and better world by educating ancient youth.
In short: peace, friendship, progress.
Not only this year, but also the purpose of the Lantern Festival in the future. "
When he got to the back, his voice was almost like a mosquito humming.
When he said the first few sentences, the whole audience became silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What are you talking about
Tonglan covered her face with one hand and rode by on a blue bull, and that guy actually posted this notice.
