Chapter 339: Dragon and Lion Dance

"At nine o'clock in the evening, the dragon dance team, the lion dance team and the Yangko team will all go to Shaiguping. They will have a surprise rehearsal tonight to save them from traveling tomorrow..."

Wu Li checked the time. It was already past seven-thirty.

It's not a joke to go home quickly and grab a few mouthfuls of food to eat, then to sit there and hold the faucet on an empty stomach.

There are not many young and middle-aged people at home, and the number of ninety-nine dragon performers in the dragon dance team has shrunk year by year. It was a little better during the Chinese New Year, and now it is quite good to be able to make up more than thirty in my spare time.

Several more lion dancers have to be removed. This was originally a long dragon, but now its length has more than doubled.

Wu Li's father was already the leader, so Wu Shan and Wu Li became the successors.

In the past few years, Wu Shan had been the leader. After Wu Li returned home, the clan leader replaced Wu Shan, the calm leader, and let Wu Li, who was full of spirituality, take over.

The two people in front of the dragon dance are the one holding the hydrangea and the other the leader. As long as these two people can get away with it, the spiritual giant dragon will fly up and down, turn around, and turn a cloth dragon or lamp into a dragon dance.

The dragon is so vivid.

"Sister Lin, I'm going to trouble you and Mrs. Sasaki for tonight's dinner. My sister-in-law and third aunt have to rehearse Yangko tonight." Wu Li entered the yard and went straight to the kitchen. Four women inside were busy with today's dinner. Some of them will be eaten tomorrow.

The things and dishes that need to be made today are also fried, steamed, and boiled in advance. Otherwise, I will definitely be too busy tomorrow.

"We are so busy today, and there is a shortage of people at home. You and your brother can just go and play dragon. Sister-in-law, I won't go there today." My sister-in-law made a fuss when she saw Wu Li come back. She didn't mean that she knew how to entertain guests.

How are the preparations for things going on? He even wants to drag himself into dancing.

How could I be like this brother-in-law who often misses a string? How could I still think about doing Yangko and dragon tricks after all this time?

I heard that you can watch dragon and lion dances and Yangko dances. The tourists who were still staying in Wujia Village became very interested. They gathered in groups of twos and sevens and in groups one after another to Shaiguping.

Wu Li took a few bites of rice hastily, smoked an after-dinner cigarette, found a pair of sneakers from the room, put them on, put a towel on his shoulders, and headed to Shaiguping.

Although it was only a little after eight o'clock, some idle guys were already jumping up and down there, such as Monkey and Wu Yong. These two guys and Douya Wu Meng were members of the lion dance team who played two lions.

.

Everyone will be able to see what these four guys are like when they play lions.

If you want to perform dragon and lion dance, you need some necessary procedures. After offering three animals and fresh fruits, they will offer three incense to worship one by one. After a series of ceremonies, the patriarch will finally dot the eyes of the two lions with his gesture pen, and wait for the two lions to shake the sky.

After the loud gongs and drums started dancing together, he finally put pen to paper on the gray eyes of the dragon head.

As the rhythmic beat of the drummer cut through all the noise and struck in everyone's heart, the rust ball in the hands of the third uncle flew left and right rhythmically with the drum beat. Wu Li held up the faucet in an extremely exaggerated way, following everything like a shadow.

He chased the golden star and started to embroider it.

As soon as Wu Li's dragon head moved, the dragon body behind him flew left and right with the dragon's head. The opening show of "Hiding the Dragon" with a move of "Hidden Dragon" made him win. Waves of applause sounded from all directions from time to time.

Wu Yong and Monkey, the lion-headed pair, couldn't help but feel unhappy when they saw Wu Li, the dragon-headed elephant, getting bursts of cheers as soon as he flashed his dragon head. They greeted Wu Yong and Douya, the lion-tailed pair, and prepared to show off their special skills and magnify their moves to let everyone know.

, the brothers all have their own unique skills.

No matter how hard the young ladies, young wives, elder sisters-in-law, and old aunts perform the Yangko dance in Shai Valley Ping, they can twist their butts and waists, but they can't take away half of the glory of the colorful dragon that seems to be alive and opening and closing.

Wu Yong and Monkey are two pairs of lions, one strong and one soft. When they dance like crazy, they have a very crazy style.

But if you take a few more glances, you will find that these two pairs of male lions were actually danced into a male and a female by these guys, and they tried their best to tease and tease each other.

The four guys played the game very well.

The frequency of flashes flashing became more and more frequent. After receiving the news, tourists from the other side of the reservoir rushed here to watch the excitement. Those with cameras took pictures, and those without cameras also had mobile phones to take photos and videos.

As the only officially designated photographer, the number one photographer in Wujiacun got the best shooting position, holding a DVD and taking pictures in a straight-forward manner.

"I didn't expect that the bald brother could dance like this." Fatty, Brother Yali and the guests from Wu's courtyard occupied a VIP seat similar to a rostrum. This was specially given by the village chief to the distinguished guests.

The seats were arranged by us.

"Don't make trouble now, wait until I finish filming this video." Yali was so shocked by this scene that he had never seen before that he had no time to pay attention to Fatty.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of folk customs. Now he takes a photo and sends it to his friends' mailboxes later in the evening to open their eyes.

Under the illumination of several kilowatt-level incandescent lamps, Shaiguping was filled with people, cheers, and the sound of gongs and drums, making the place very lively.

Uncle Qi, who runs the canteen, is really eye-catching. He and Aunt Qi, a couple, push a small cart among the crowd from time to time, selling melon seeds, pine nuts, snacks, drinks, mineral water and the like, and they wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads from time to time.

It looks like this small business is doing pretty well.

As for Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven, who couldn't close their mouths, they seemed to have made a lot of money in the evening.

With the sound of the gong, the dragon dance team and the lion dance team, who had been dancing slowly and rapidly for more than an hour, could finally take a break, drink water, smoke a cigarette before talking about anything else.

"Wu Lijun, hurry up and drink some ice water." After Wu Li put the faucet on the table, Nanako immediately came over with a thermos cup, which contained a cup of mung bean ice water.

Wu Li shook his nose and smiled at this super cute girl, took the thermos cup and took a big sip.

This girl is really serious. She will attract people's attention if she behaves blindly and proactively like this.

Wu Li glanced at Yuan Fei guiltily, "Well, it looked like a smile but not a smile. This expression was very abnormal."

Then he looked at Erya's group of beautiful women, and sure enough, the expressions were richer and more exciting than the last.

For a grown man, why should he be afraid of wolves before and tigers later? Wu Li gave himself a sigh of relief.

I really couldn't catch Yuan Fei, so I took this cute and well-behaved Nanako as my little wife.

Wu Li sat down on the ground, not caring about the dirt, dirt, dirt, and other things that would stain the forks of his trousers.

It is said that these days, under the nourishment of space water, my body is obviously more powerful than before, but after an hour of vigorous exercise, the consumption is really huge. I didn't see the lion dance quartet.

They were all lying on the ground like dead dogs, sticking out their tongues and gasping for breath. These guys couldn't even jump up and down and roll a few times, let alone do tricks by holding up a big faucet.

"Bald head, playing with dragon lanterns, isn't it more beautiful, fun and exciting to play with dragons and lanterns?" Hu Mei came over and asked Wu Lidao with some curiosity.

I didn't forget to take a look at Nanako, who was fanning Wu Li with a smile.

This girl is very cute and upright. I feel really sad for Erya's classmate. Why are her competitors so powerful now?

"What we are dancing now is the cloth dragon, which is only used during the day. The bamboo dragon dance at night is the kind of lantern you mentioned. It is not appropriate to use the lantern dragon during the day tomorrow. When the dragon lantern race is held during the Lantern Festival, you can see it

There are lantern dragons. Some large villages have so many people that a lantern dragon can line up two or three miles away."

The population of Wujia Village is only about three to four hundred people. Apart from the elderly, children, women and girls, there are only a little over a hundred people who can dance the lanterns and dragons, and they can line up a lantern dragon of more than 100 meters, and follow it.

Those large villages and villages with tens of thousands of people are completely unable to compete with each other.

"We still have to wait until the Lantern Festival, which is still a few months away. Then can we also hold a lantern and dragon festival and join in the fun?"

"Well, in the past, women were absolutely not allowed to participate in Solitaire. Now it seems that in some villages, girls and women come to join in the fun. It's the first time you ask me about this. If you really want to play, then go ask the village

Go ahead, the chief and the clan chief, this kind of thing is definitely something that only the elders like the clan leader can take charge of."

Wu Li knew that in the past, female comrades would never be allowed to participate in dragon and lion dancing in Wujiacun.

However, times are changing so fast. Who knows whether these elders will keep pace with the times, follow the trend of the times, and truly liberate the status of women, so that they can also enjoy the fun of playing this sport with men.

Hu Mei twisted her waist and gourd buttocks to go to the patriarch to talk about the liberation of women's rights in certain fields. Nanazi was still fanning Wu Li unhurriedly, and Yuan Fei, who happened to be a teacher, was teaching Nannan and

Dolls and babies pull on the rope.

Erya, Wen Jingyu and Xiaobei Xingzi were chewing their ears. After Wu Li blew out a string of smoke rings and heard a string of drums, he got up again and continued to rehearse to familiarize himself with the colorful dragon dance.

I haven’t practiced this thing for more than half a year, and everyone’s cooperation still feels a bit awkward.

This practice lasted for another hour. After Ming Jin finally retreated his troops and put away his things, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

When Wu Li returned home, his sister-in-law and the others had prepared two tables of late-night snacks. After Wu Li took a shower, he returned to the yard and drank beer with everyone, chatting loudly and irrelevant gossip, not because there would be big shots tomorrow.

If you come here, you will feel something special.

ps: I have a headache, there is still one chapter, what should I do? Guys, the next chapter must be exciting, Huahua is still there, the old farmer wants to destroy the old Canju of the King of Soldiers.
