Chapter 178 Beware of Tsubaki
The most melancholy thing is that people came from far and wide, many of whom are really passionate about martial arts. After hearing the news, they came to Suji. They couldn't register, and they couldn't even buy tickets. Even if they could, some of them didn't.
So much money.
Fortunately, a registered athlete can bring three assistants. Those who have signed up but have no assistants or have few companions can make a small profit by selling assistant places.
The square that serves as the arena has been enclosed by a frame made of bamboo and wood. Militiamen specially mobilized to perform security tasks surround the arena with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. At every interval, there is a large water tank, wooden barrels and the like.
Be prepared to prevent possible fires.
On the street outside the square, martial arts people gathered here, and people from the martial arts club were also busy contacting the martial arts people.
In a small open space, people from the martial arts club were training for fighting and competition, and at the same time, people from the martial arts club were explaining the rules.
"...So there is no rule without rules. We are competing, not fighting in the street or fighting to the death. If you must come here and want to kill someone, I'm sorry, we don't welcome you."
"So we have stipulated rules such as not hitting the back of the head. In order to respect the opponent, spitting at the opponent is not allowed. Swearing is a worse behavior than the middle finger..."
The first senior brother and second senior brother had no right to participate in the ring competition, so they became the liaison between these martial arts people.
The task Xia Ping gave them was to make more friends with these martial arts people and try to keep these talents in Suxi.
It is necessary to develop martial arts into an industry. People now do not have this awareness, and this industry is completely blank.
In his previous life, Tagou Martial Arts School and Shaolin Martial Arts School made easy money. How could Xia Ping let go of this opportunity to make money?
Fortunately, although these martial arts people couldn't watch the competition, they were not lonely. Under the coordination of the first and second senior brothers, they had many martial arts exchanges, especially on the beach by the Emei River, where the martial arts club acted as referee.
He also weighed himself, told the rules, and announced that if he got good results, he would go to the organizing committee to negotiate and get some guest tickets.
Someone entered the venue with a ticket, and the martial arts people were anxiously waiting for the senior brother to see if he could get the ticket before he could do it again.
The second senior brother comforted everyone. After a while, he saw the senior senior brother running out from the Jiulong Temple, waving the bag in his hand excitedly, and everyone cheered.
After screening, basically dozens of people with passable martial arts skills entered the arena under the leadership of the first and second senior brothers.
Xiao Hong came here with the guests at a certain time. The magistrate and the master met everyone here, and everyone hurried up to salute the magistrate.
They are all celebrities from Jiading Prefecture, including Wang Zhiren, the principal of the Jiading Prefecture Government Middle School, Wan Zhonglin, the principal of the government primary school, Yi Chengjiang of the Transportation Association, and so on.
The magistrate pointed to the limerick posted at the entrance and said jokingly: "The poem is not very well written, but fortunately it fits the occasion and makes it interesting."
The literati hurriedly read it and saw it said: This year Su Ji gathered talents, many heroes competed in the arena, if your skills are great, don't go, beware of Chun you stepping down.
"Hahaha" everyone burst into laughter, seeing the magistrate's slightly reserved atmosphere and laughing away.
"Which one of these is so funny?" Principal Wang Zhiren asked Xiao Hong who was beside him.
Xiao Hong said with some pride: "This is written by Mr. Xia Pingxia."
The magistrate and Wang Zhiren were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mr. Xia is really an interesting person."
After entering the venue, Xiao Hong and Gong Jun hurriedly led everyone to the VIP seats. Before meeting, they kept looking at Xiao Hong's face, so Xiao Hong came to complete the docking work with the county magistrate. Gong Jun was busy chatting with other VIPs, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.
Harmony.
"I heard people call you Hongmei, is it okay if I call you Hongmei too?" the magistrate said lewdly.
"The magistrate is a fairy-like figure, and this girl really dares to reach such high places." Xiao Hong said with a smile.
The county magistrate also smiled and said: "Hong Mei's songs are really good. Whenever I have time, I will come to the Leshan County Government Office and sit down. I want to hear Hong Mei sing some songs."
"It's a girl's honor to be able to enter the ears of adults. If you don't mind it, I will definitely come and bother you." Xiao Hong didn't want to go any further on this matter, so she changed the subject:
"Let me introduce it to you adults. You see, the red side is over there, and the south is over here. This game is divided into two rounds, each round is 5 minutes."
Then he continued to introduce: "Look, that's the referee team. The boy-faced one with white hair is Mr. Wu Jinshi Yu Chengzhang. He is the chief referee of this competition."
"The one over there is the medical team. The team leader is Chen Dingsan, a famous doctor who is familiar with Su Ji. His medical skills are very good. The two ladies next to him are Wu Mengting and a foreigner Masem. The medical skills of these two people are also very good.
It’s amazing. We have such a strong medical team to ensure the safety of the boxers.”
"That's the fire department over there..."
"That's the security team over there..."
"That's the logistics team over there..."
"That's the service team over there..."
"That's the support team over there..."
Xiao Hong introduced in detail, and the county magistrate couldn't help but sigh: Look at what they do, they are meticulous and serious, and they have considered all aspects. It would be great if the next Leshan arena competition can achieve half of the results of others.
Especially the militia members of the security team, who were full of energy with foreign guns.
These rural militiamen are so strong and look like elite soldiers. If regular troops come out, I don't know how strong they will be.
When the time came to 2:00 pm, the gong sounded, and the arena competition officially began.
Xiao Hong came to the stage and continued to host the show
Distinguished guests, friends, and contestants, good afternoon everyone. In this warm October day, we gather in the beautiful town of Suji to make friends through martial arts, and to carry forward the spirit of our martial arts people to actively fight, play, and fight.
Let’s carry forward our Chinese quintessence. We are opponents on the court and friends off the court...
Xiao Hong's passionate speech excited the audience.
"... Now our red team player Renshou Wei Zhigang appears."
A young man raised his hands high and opened the rope loop and jumped onto the stage. Xiao Hong introduced the technical expertise of this player.
Soon the next boxer was introduced, Tang Jinsong from Rongdu Prefecture.
After a set of procedures, the two started fighting.
Xiao Hong returned to the magistrate and explained to him: "The red team's boxing is Shaolin boxing, which is hard to attack, and the blue team's Emei boxing is both offensive and defensive. Both of them are at a high level."
The two were punching and kicking, and the fight was very fierce. The scene was very beautiful, and the audience cheered.
Some of the apprentices immediately taught on the spot, making the apprentices nod their heads.
At the end of the game, after a unanimous decision by the referee team, Tang Jinsong from Lan Fangrongdufu won.
Everyone felt this result, and it was certain that Tang Jinsong also had the advantage. Wei Zhigang and Tang Jinsong embraced, which attracted a round of applause from the audience.
"Thank you both for your wonderful performance. Please tell me whether the two boxers performed well."
"good!"
"Do you know what touched me the most today? It was the moment when they hugged each other. They interpreted the true meaning of Chinese martial arts. Let us give them applause again."
Chapter completed!
