Out of the lion

Juchi knocked on the table, "Dai Zhiye is not good at doing business. He set the signing price so high and the risk is so high. How can he make money? Raising a lion dancer also costs money."

As he spoke, he stretched out a palm.

"I will give you 50. Continue to practice. After defeating Lin Xiaoxi and the others, I will give you another 50. Of course, if you beat the Singapore Lions, I can give you another 50. On the contrary, if you lose, you will compensate me according to this price. "

Ju Chi patted Di Xiao on the shoulder cunningly, "I lowered the price so low for your own good, just control the risk."

"No..." Di Xiao hesitated, after all Dai Zhiye's offer was too good.

Ju Chi sneered, "Apart from me, who else do you think will sign you? Will Nandao Qianxi Group sign you? Will those who are about to be arrested and jailed soon sign you? Or will those small agencies outside sign you?"

That's right, besides Juchi, Di Xiao has almost no choice.

Juchi put the brand new contract in front of Di Xiao, and threw a pen.

Di Xiao hesitantly, aggrieved but helplessly signed his name on the contract.

Putting down his pen, Di Xiao scolded Di Long, Di Qingdong and the others: "Go to the lion dance! What are you doing here?"

Gou Chi smiled, pointed at Di Xiao, and said jokingly, "You have to change your temper."

Di Xiao immediately smiled graciously, "You're right."

Ju Lao was very satisfied with Di Xiao's attitude, and patted his shoulder, "Go."

When he looked up, he saw a familiar face.After being stunned for several seconds, a hypocritical smile appeared on his wrinkled face: "The old friend is here, honored guest, please take a seat."

Di Xiao bowed his head and said goodbye to Gu Lao: "I'm going first."

In the empty office, Ju Lao stood alone in it, as if a poisonous snake was entrenched in its empty cave.

Mr. Wan sat across from Ju Lao and placed the jade ring on the table.

"Should I give an explanation?"

Ju Lao smiled, "How can I, a junior, explain the matter of my ancestors? I only think it is something passed down from our family. If you have an ideal, go dig my family's ancestral grave and call all my ancestors. Well, it doesn’t matter if you speak the truth, it’s up to you.”

Mr. Wan's face darkened, "So it's such a shameless thing."

Ju Lao's eyes are like sharp swords, but the smile is still hanging on his face, "You are the one who came to me to ask for an explanation without any evidence, so it's even more shameless? Mr. Wan, times have changed, you, don't always think about the golden house. , I still have to come out to get some fresh air and see the real world."

Gou Lao stretches out his hand and sees off the guests.

Mr. Wan was so angry, "You are right, times have changed. In the past hundreds of years, lion dance was a tool for us craftsmen to earn a living. Now, lion dance is used in fewer and fewer occasions. It is unrealistic to think of it as a tool for making a living.”

Before Mr. Wan finished speaking, Ju Lao interrupted very impolitely, and patted Mr. Wan's chest as if to coax his younger brother: "So I said that times have changed. Now, lion dance is an art and a tradition. Culture is the treasure of the country, why do you care about art?"

"You're right." Mr. Wan's face was covered with thick frost, "Lion dance is the treasure of the country, it is culture, art, and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, so I plan to share all the lion dances of our Wan family. Organize the content into a book and publish it.”

"What?" Gou Lao was stunned for a while, then smiled, "What are you talking about? Publication? No one reads the lion dance, and you can still sell well when you publish it as a book?"

Mr. Wan said, "Do you think what I need now is money?"

"The book may not sell well, but as long as you meet someone with a heart and someone who loves lion dance, that's enough."

After hesitating for a while, Ju Lao suddenly realized: "You want to make everything public? Including the top-secret ancestral moves?"

In the past, some top-secret moves were only passed on to the first disciples, and ordinary disciples didn't even dare to think about them.

Wanjia lion dance has been inherited intermittently for more than 400 years, and has experienced the baptism and test of time. If it were not for the limitations of the development of the times, how many lion dancers would have to break their heads for these things?But Mr. Wan actually wants to make them public.

"What do you want to do?" Ju Lao couldn't hide his excitement, "Are you crazy?"

Mr. Wan was very calm, "The things that your Ju family stole from our Wan family will also be made public."

Mr. Wan was about to say something, but Mr. Wan interrupted him: "In this era, the unreserved devotion of national treasures such as the lion dance can be seen by more people, and only by letting those who are interested can see it can be brought into full play. Its greatest value. It is not worth it if it is locked in a cupboard, eaten by moths, and stolen by villains."

Mr. Wan looked at Ju Lao disappointedly, "At first I didn't have much hatred for you, I just thought that you elders of the Ju family needed to survive, and you like green lions, so I didn't settle accounts with you. Today, I originally wanted to ask you for an explanation and an attitude, but it seems that I was naive."

"The thief who steals will always hide in the dark room, and he will not be able to get on the stage."

After saying the last sentence emphatically, Mr. Wan left in disappointment, leaving Gu Lao with a look of astonishment.

Ju Lao stood there in a daze, and after a long time, Di Xiao walked in.

"Old Gu, there is news from Huaxi Town... In addition to some scientific research in the secret room, there are..."

Gou Lao was furious, and gave Di Xiao a stern look.

"I've heard all about it. Don't you still have the lion dance handbook compiled by Miao Ke'er before she was alive? Which lion dancer doesn't have these things?"

Di Xiao said: "I analyzed for a long time from the information they gave, and found that Miao Ke'er's lion dance moves are the same system that Lin Xiaoxi and the others are currently practicing."

"I'm a little worried that after they learn this, they will beat us."

Ju Lao finally calmed down, "When I was young, I read research on Miao Ke'er's lion dance. Her movements are light and graceful, so she is called the bird on the high pile."

"Miao Ke'er's lion dance not only pays attention to speed, lightness, and stability, but also pays attention to charm and momentum. If you say that, you won't understand. In short, if you don't have ten or eight years of kung fu, you can't get started at all."

Di Xiao said: "I'm afraid..."

He was afraid that Lin Xiaoxi and Nan Xun were talented and quick to learn everything, and they really learned Miao Keer's things.

Ju Lao scolded impatiently: "What are you afraid of? Even if Lin Xiaoxi and Nan Xun have that talent, don't forget that they chased the dragon and lion dance and there are a group of people who came out halfway. A team with uneven strength is a big taboo. "

"Stop talking about it, and prepare for the Dragon and Lion Dance competition this month with peace of mind."

In fact, Ju Lao is more worried than Di Xiao that the Nine Heavens Lions will lose to Chasing Dragon and Lion Dance.

However, he still believed that Lin Xiaoxi and Nan Xun could not do it.It's not that Lin Xiaoxi can't do it, and it's not that Nan Xun can't do it, but that Chasing Dragon and Lion Dance can't do it.

He has studied various lion dances for decades, and Miao Ke'er alone for several years, and he knows Miao Ke'er very well.

In her lion dance system, all lion dancers must achieve surprisingly consistent strength in order to cooperate well and make no mistakes.

It's hard to reach the sky just by not making mistakes, let alone cooperating well, dancing wonderfully, and winning the prize in the fierce lion dance competition.
