128. Let me come
Not only the audience, but also the props.
Li Du has been to the United States for a while, but he has rarely attended parties. He used to have no friends at school, and he didn't have the opportunity to attend parties.
Therefore, he doesn't know the common activities in American parties, and he doesn't know what kind of mud monkey competition is.
However, after the props arrived, he still guessed what the game was for.
Someone brought a large airbag swimming pool, which is the kind of inflatable airbag that is very common in American dramas. It is filled with water and placed in the backyard to be used as a swimming pool.
The airbag swimming pool of ordinary people is relatively small, and this area is large, with a total of forty or fifty square meters.
After inflating the swimming pool, people poured water in, a pickup truck drove over, and someone shoveled soil in. After this stirring, the swimming pool turned into a mud.
Seeing this, Li Du took a deep breath and said, "I said, this game is not a fight in it, right?"
Sophie's reaction made him feel relieved. She shook her head hard and said, "How is it possible? Fighting is not good, everyone is just snatching the ball inside."
"Ah?!" Li Du was stunned.
Sophie explained: "People who will participate in the event will draw lots later. Those who draw monkeys will jump into it, and then someone will tease him with the connecting ball until he grabs the ball."
Li Du smiled bitterly, the American people are really boring.
After the quagmire was deployed, the doctors and nurses of the hospital arrived in the backyard, so that the party could start.
Because this is a fundraising activity for the medical conditions of the skeleton community, doctors and nurses have to play the show, and the people participating in the game are the main ones.
As required, all doctors and nurses have to draw lots, and ladies are no exception.
The game starts with several waves, each wave has four mud monkeys, and a tall wooden chair is fixed in the middle of the mud, which is a bit like a referee chair in a tennis game.
At that time, someone will sit in a chair to control the connecting ball, and the mud monkeys will fight for the ball.
Li Du understood the rules and waited for the start of the game.
The hospital is large in scale and has many employees. More than 60 people participated in this event. They reached out to take out paper in the box like a lottery. The person with monkeys on it was mud monkeys.
Sophie touched a picture and ran over nervously and said to Li Du, "Come and help me see the pattern."
After taking the paper, Li Du joked: "What, don't you dare to read it?"
Sophie blinked her long eyelashes and said uneasy: "I dare to look, I don't want to look, God bless me, I don't want to be a mud monkey."
As she said that, she cut a cross on her full chest.
Li Du opened it and looked at Sophie with a pity.
The female doctor's pretty face suddenly turned flushed. She gasped hard and said in frustration: "No! I am so lucky? I got the mud monkey in the first wave?"
Li Du said: "You smile."
Sophie shook her head and said, "I can't laugh."
"Smile and give you a surprise."
After hearing this, Sophie subconsciously laughed: "I'm not a mud monkey? Are you teasing me, right?"
Li Du flipped the paper and had nothing on it: "A girl who loves to laugh will never have bad luck. Look, your luck is not bad."
The four people who drew the mud monkey walked out, and there were two men and two women among the four.
One of the women's husband replaced her, and the others said, "Russell, you will be a traitor mud monkey!"
The man smiled and said, "No problem, let me deal with you alone."
Li Du asked: "What is the traitor mud monkey?"
Sophie explained: "It was originally a fair competition between four mud monkeys. If someone replaces them, they will be regarded as traitor mud monkeys. The other three can join forces to deal with him."
A doctor who drew the referee's sign sat on a wooden chair, holding a fishing rod and an elastic rope connecting the pole and a small ball.
Sophie took Li Du's hand and said, "Let's go forward and see, it's very interesting."
Her little hands were warm and smooth, but a little cool. Li Du's body shook slightly after feeling it.
To be pitiful, this is the first time Mr. Li has held hands with a girl since he became an adult. If he traced back, it was when he and his female classmates were playing handkerchief game when he was in kindergarten.
Thompson, who saw the two holding hands and squeezed to the pool, was holding a cannon camera and taking pictures, looked cold.
Four people struggled in the mud. The referee controlled the fishing rod like fishing. The ball flew around in the mud. The four people went to grab the ball.
Two of them stopped Russell and asked another female nurse to grab it first. The referee did not make things difficult for her. After teasing her for a while, the fishing rod drooped and the man grabbed the ball.
The game continued, and there was another person who stopped Russell. The two were fighting in the mud, and another person snatched the ball.
When there were two people left, the game became interesting. The two of them fell in various ways, pulling me and I tripping you. Not only did they have to grab the ball by themselves, but they also had to stop the other party from robbing.
Russell was in good health, and he finally grabbed the ball, and the remaining one snatched it for a while before he grabbed the ball.
Sophie said: "There are penalties in this game. Today is the last person who grabs the ball to pay out 200 yuan for charity funds."
The second wave of lottery started again. This time, four men were drawn. Sophie drew a cross on her chest: "God bless me, I will still not be a mud monkey next time."
The competition between the four men was much more intense than the previous game. They wrestled and chased each other in the quagmire, causing constant laughter.
The third wave of draws began. Sophie drew a piece of paper and gave it to Li Du, then showed a bright and pretty smile.
Li Du also smiled, but just a bitter smile. He flipped the paper and a monkey grimaced at Sophie.
Seeing this scene, the female doctor's smile immediately calmed down and almost cried.
Dr. Hamilton saw it and smiled, "Our Sophie is a mud monkey this time."
Thompson snatched the paper from the person next to him and said, "What a coincidence, I am also a mud monkey this time..."
Li Du looked at Sophie's frustrated look, took her paper and blinked at her, "Come on, I'll be a traitor monkey."
Hamilton whistled and said, "Wow, there are two traitor mud monkeys this time."
Seeing this, Thompson's face changed. He stuffed the draw paper back into the hand of the person next to him and said, "I was joking just now, haha, Ronnie is the mud monkey."
The male nurse beside him rolled her eyes, and was far away from him.
Sophie said embarrassedly: "It's not good, Li, I'll go."
Li Du said: "Leave it to me, this kind of thing is too simple for me."
Sophie wanted to speak, but he smiled and waved his hand to signal that it was okay. He went to the locker room to change his swimming trunks and walked out into the mud.
However, he looked up and was a little stunned. This time the referee turned out to be Thompson.
The other three were also stunned after coming out and said, "Doctor Thompson, why is it you?"
Thompson giggled: "Of course, I am a master of Mud Monkey Games. Everyone wants to watch a fierce game."
As he said that, he shook the fishing rod hard, and the small ball quickly passed by Li Du, so fast that it was difficult to react.
"Too fast." Sophie shouted below, "Doctor Thompson, slow down..."
Before her voice fell, the ball flew over again. Li Dumer said, "Time slowed down", and the ball's movement trajectory suddenly slowed down.
Chapter completed!
