Out of the lion

Lin Xiaoxi hugged the lion's head, and angrily questioned Di Xiao, the captain of the Pinnacle Blue Lions team: "When you were talking about the sequence of performances just now, you didn't make a sound. When I raised your hand and said the sixth performance, you immediately raised your hand and followed me." Grab it on purpose, right?"

Di Xiao's face is well-defined, with a sense of seriousness, and when a pair of thick eyebrows are knit together, the seriousness is even more frightening.

For the timid Nan Xun, Di Xiao is too scary and always tries to avoid him.Even when walking in normal times, they all bypassed far away.

Lin Xiaoxi was also afraid of Di Xiao, and couldn't explain why she was afraid, but when she saw Di Xiao, when she thought of what Di Xiao had done to the gold tower before, her anger would overwhelm her fear.

With a cold face, Di Xiao replied to Lin Xiaoxi, "I just want to be the sixth performer."

Mr. Guan Jiaxu from the courtyard came to smooth things over and said, "The order of the performance is not important, as long as it can make the old lady happy, it is a good lion dance team."

After all, I reminded a little seriously: "Lion dancers have been polite people since ancient times. They are courteous and humble, making the host's house lively and festive."

Di Xiao didn't care too much, but just gave a light snort.Lin Xiaoxi was upset, but when she saw her master staring at her with a serious expression, as if she wanted to teach her a lesson, she stopped talking and rearranged the order obediently.

While everyone was arranging, Mr. Xu came to Di Xiao's side.

Di Xiao was discussing the lion dance with his teammates, and when they saw Mr. Xu coming, they all nodded respectfully.

Mr. Xu nodded, with a usual gentle smile on his face, "Mr. Di, please feel free to ask if you need anything. If there are not enough servants at home, I will ask for a few more helpers."

On the surface, these words sounded like they were serving Di Xiao and the others, holding them high, but in fact they were beating Di Xiao. The servants and housekeepers at home were all there, but they turned a blind eye and insisted on quarreling with other members of the lion dance team. The dispute is really extremely arrogant.

That Di Xiao is quite smart, understood Mr. Xu's words, and replied with some embarrassment: "It's very thoughtful, thank you."

After all, he reminded his teammates like a lecture: "Rehearse well, don't make trouble, do you hear me?"

A young man in charge of the lion's tail tied up his turban and muttered in a voice only he could hear: "It's clear that you are the one who scolded us for nothing."

The housekeeper had left, Di Xiao glared at the young man, and asked softly, "What are you talking about?"

The young man was too frightened to make a sound, but just took care of his clothes.

Di Xiao gritted his teeth, and said to him, "If it weren't for the fact that you are my nephew, I would have kicked you out of the lion dance team long ago. Be good to me, or I'll kick you out of the team kick out."

The young man who was reprimanded by Di Xiao was named Di Qingdong, who nodded and lowered his eyes, not even daring to vent his anger.

The other teammates were also very afraid of Di Xiao, so they just lowered their heads and sorted out the things in their hands, not daring to make a sound.

Today, a total of 9 teams came to the old lady's house for rehearsal.Once dressed up, it looks like 9 lions playing in the spacious yard, which is very tasteful.

Lin Xiaoxi held the lion's head, tilted her head and searched, not knowing what she was looking for.

Nan Xun quietly asked Lin Xiaoxi: "Sister, are you looking for Mr. Li Mo?"

Lin Xiaoxi bowed his head and reprimanded fiercely: "No nonsense."

"Then what are you looking for?" Nan Xun asked curiously.

In fact, she had already noticed that Lin Xiaoxi was a little absent-minded, as if she was looking for someone.It's been a while, and I'm still looking for it.

The master came over, stayed by Lin Xiaoxi's side, and said in a low voice, "The Huajin lion dance team didn't come, so you can do the lion dance with peace of mind, don't think too much about it."

"Oh." Lin Xiaoxi was a little disappointed.

Lin Xiaoxi got out from the lion's head, and while there was no one around, he asked his master, "Master, what is dragon's gate and tiger's roar?"

The reason why Lin Xiaoxi couldn't wait to ask this question was because she really couldn't figure out why she had never heard of such a powerful move that even the old neighbors knew.

She found that when she said the words "dragon's gate and tiger's roar", the master's face was a little ugly.

"Who did you listen to?" Master didn't answer directly, but asked her instead.

Lin Xiaoxi begged: "Master, tell me what the moves are. We lost once in the dragon and lion dance, and we lost face to grandma's house. We can't let others look down upon us. The peak blue lion team just now Yes, it is deliberately bullying us."

The aggrieved look on her face made old man Lin couldn't help sighing, and accused, "You know how to lose face?"

Lin Xiaoxi stretched out his finger and swore: "I swear, Master, as long as you teach me the trick, I will beat them all down."

Unexpectedly, the master was unmoved, and just said: "Dance the lion well, tomorrow is a birthday celebration, not a competition, and there is no need to choose a life or death."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxi still didn't give up, old man Lin said seriously: "Xiaoxi, if you are disobedient again, you will be punished to stand when you go back."

Xiaoxi was not reconciled, "Master, we are no longer children, it's time to teach us some unique skills. Besides, Master, if we don't teach us unique skills, why don't we bring them into the coffin?"

"I said you girl, are you looking for death?" The old man knocked on Lin Xiaoxi's forehead with a big chestnut, "Curse me all day, you will be happy to send me away one day, right?"

Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly said some auspicious words to please Master: "Master is handsome and charming, and he will surely live a long life."

Old man Lin didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so he waved his hand, "It's better to rehearse with peace of mind, and don't smash the signboard of chasing dragon and lion dance."

Lin Xiaoxi rolled his eyes and asked, "Then when will Master teach me the unique move of dragon's gate and tiger's roar?"

"How can there be any trick?" Old man Lin's face collapsed all of a sudden.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Xiaoxi had no choice but to withdraw first.

I withdrew, but the doubt in my heart did not disappear: Master's reaction was too strange, what kind of unique move is Dragon Gate and Tiger Roar.

Lin Xiaoxi followed the housekeeper to a small courtyard.

According to the process, each lion dance team first went to the venue arranged by them for about two hours of lion dance practice.Then, they will enter the arena from the east gate, and rehearse the lion dance in the yard where a number of high platforms and pillars are set up.

As soon as Lin Jiu put the big drum on the ground, he saw people from the peak lion dance team standing on the flat ground facing him.

Lin Xiaoxi also saw them, and it happened that Di Xiao's eyes met Lin Xiaoxi's.

The four eyes meet each other, lighting a stone and a fire.

"It's really annoying, you can't shake it off like a tail." Lin Xiaoxi felt unhappy when he saw Di Xiao.

On Di Xiao's end, the drumstick was struck, and the sound was loud.Under the lion's head, Di Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lin Xiaoxi's feet.

"I didn't expect that little girl to be so lucky to be able to dance a lion after falling from such a high place. I don't know if I have such good luck today."

Di Qingdong, who was in charge of the tail, turned pale when he heard what he said, and reminded: "Uncle, we are doing the lion dance for our birthday, and if something happens during the lion dance, it's unlucky and you can't do anything else."

"Superstition!" Di Xiao didn't take his words seriously at all.

Di Xiao took a few steps along with the drum, and said, "Boy, if you dare to spoil my good deed, believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?"

Di Qingdong was very scared.

Not afraid of being thrown into the sea, but afraid of Di Xiao.His father was weak, and his mother was ill in bed all year round. He was the child who was most likely to be bullied since he was a child.One afternoon, a lion dance team came to the village, and he learned a few movements curiously. Unexpectedly, his uncle recognized his talent and wanted to take him with him to teach him how to learn lion dance.

Di Qingdong was afraid of his uncle Di Xiao since he was a child, and refused to go with him, but his father was weak, his mother was powerless, and no one could speak for him, so he could only be taken away by Di Xiao.The days of practicing lion dance with my uncle are miserable, and if I make a mistake, I will be beaten and scolded.To this day, Di Qingdong's body is often green and purple.

If given a choice, Di Qingdong would rather not have a talent for lion dance.He would rather be with his parents and live a life without enough food than to be with Di Xiao and be beaten and scolded just to make a living.

Not knowing where the courage came from, Di Qingdong said: "Uncle, we can't do this."
