Datang Live Room

In this way, New Oriental in Kuoding County started school soon.

To this end, the people of Kuoding County also prepared lion dances and other activities to celebrate.

Yan Kai also bought a few firecrackers from the mall and set them off first.

Then the lion dance team rushed out.

In the lion dance at this time, the lion heads were all carved from wood.

Although it is heavy, it is exquisite and more realistic than the slightly exaggerated shape of later generations.

Yan Kai asked Chu Suiliang: "Do you know where this lion dance skill came from?"

Chu Suiliang looked at Yan Kai and said with a smile: "There is a story in it."

Yan Xiaoer and some other children who were picking up unexploded firecrackers on the ground nearby heard the story and ignored the firecrackers, so they gathered around.

Chu Suiliang looked at a circle of children, stretched out his hand and said, "How can there be something for nothing?"

The children in Kuoding County have long been familiar with him and know what he means.

They all took out the snacks in their pockets.

In fact, they are the ones that were thrown out just for the sake of winnings during the unveiling.

Chu Suiliang wanted to eat it, but because of his lack of face, he went to pick it up by himself.

After searching around, Chu Suiliang was satisfied and began to talk:

"This story starts from the Han Dynasty. At that time, Dayuezhi Kingdom in the Western Regions paid tribute to Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty with a golden lion!"

Having said this, he turned around and asked these children: "Do you know where the Dayue clan is?"

"I don't know!" The children shook their heads in unison.

"It is recorded in the "Book of Han·Zhang Qian's Biography": The Yueshi have been defeated by the Xiongnu, and they attacked the King of Sai from the west. The King of Sai moved far south, and the Yueshi lived there."

Chu Suiliang patiently told the children that he did not get the snacks for free.

"The Great Yuezhi Kingdom is far to the west. They sent the lion to the palace and made a very arrogant request."

"That is, if someone in the Han Dynasty can subdue this lion, they will continue to submit to the Han Dynasty. But if they cannot, they will no longer pay tribute to the Han Dynasty!"

"What is tribute?" asked a bald boy.

"Tribute means that if a country is very powerful, in order to get its blessing, the neighboring country must send some good things to this powerful country every year."

"Like you asking us for snacks?"

"..." Chu Suiliang hesitated, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Well...it's a little bit different."

"Is there any country that pays tribute to our Tang Dynasty?" It's still the bald kid.

"Not yet, but I think there will be soon!" Chu Suiliang touched the child's head with his hand. It was so slippery!

"Did anyone tame the lion later?"

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said, "No!"

"The court looked for three people, but none of them could tame the lion. The lion even went crazy and hurt people!"

"Ah!" All the children took half a step back, and only the bald man asked again: "I heard that our county magistrate went to Wendeng County and captured a few tigers. Can tigers beat lions?"

Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly: "I don't know about that. After all, I haven't seen them fight before."

"Hey, do you still want to hear the story?"

"Listen!" The children all nodded, and then Chu Suiliang opened a candy wrapped in oil paper and put it into his mouth in synchronization with them, and then continued:

"Seeing that the lion was hurting someone, two palace men came to chase it away with sticks, and accidentally beat the lion to death."

"The two palace men were afraid that Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty would punish them, so they finally thought of a way to peel off the lion's skin and put it on their bodies."

"Then when Dayuezhi Kingdom came to see it, one of the palace servants was playing with the lion in front, and the other one put on the lion's skin and danced with it."

"Not only did Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty not see it, but the envoys of the Dayue clan also didn't see it."

"Later, this incident began to spread, and the people thought it was bringing glory to the country and an auspicious thing, so they followed suit one after another, so today everyone can see the lion dance."

In fact, Yan Kai himself was not very clear about it, so Chu Suiliang could not only pick it up from his mouth, but also quote the classics to tell the story wonderfully.

At this time, the lion dance ended, and the people standing on the roof of the college began to scatter snacks below again.

These children dropped Chu Suiliang and rushed forward.

"Hey, grab some for me, I still have a story!"

After the celebration ceremony ended, there was another big feast.

Then the New Oriental Vocational School started.

Yan Kai was free again.

Even though the population is much larger now, Zheng Zhixun really manages the entire county in an orderly manner.

But recently I had to go to Dengzhou to find a few scholars to take classes in Kuoding County.

Zhou Gui's wife is pregnant and will definitely have to take maternity leave.

Just when Yan Kai was thinking about whether to go to Dengzhou today, something happened again in Kuoding County.

The last fight between Master Chen and Master Ma could be considered a civil dispute at best.

So this time it's a criminal case.

The victim is Hou Chenghuailiang of Dong'e County, Xinjin.

The suspect was the bald kid who chased Chu Suiliang and asked questions that day.

Yan Kai looked at Cheng Hualiang lying down below in surprise: "Tell me what's going on?"

"How do I know?" Cheng Huailiang said with a sad face: "I just plan to go up the mountain to find some bamboo to make a kite."

"Then I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I... I found a place to defecate. As soon as I finished defecating and lifted my pants, I heard a popping sound behind me, and then my butt was covered in blood!"

Yan Kai looked at the bald child who was brought by Cheng Huailiang's soldiers and shivered while huddled aside.

"You...did you do this??"

According to what Cheng Zhijie and his soldiers said, the child was probably twenty or thirty meters away from Cheng Zhijie at that time.

But there was no one else but him at that time, so he was taken to the county government office.

"Yes...yes...no...I didn't know there was anyone there. I specifically found a place where no one was and tried it."

As the little bald man spoke, he tremblingly took out a small tube from his arms.

It was just an ordinary small iron pipe, about the length of a hand. The back was burnt black.

"How... did you do this?"

The little bald man cried while sobbing and said: "I really don't know anyone. I just found the unexploded firecrackers that day, and then mixed all the black powder inside."

"Because it turns out that the waiter has blown up cow shit and can blow up the boss, so I was wondering if I could use this to blow up pebbles!"

"Then I stole this iron pipe from my father. I blocked one end of the iron pipe first, then poured the black powder into it, and put a stone in front. I burned the back and then the front. It rang."

"The stone flew out..."

"Wow! I really didn't mean to, I didn't know there was anyone there!"

This little bald man also knew that he was in trouble.

Although his father is a blacksmith and has a high status in Kuoding County.

But the one who was injured today was a Marquis!

Only Yan Kai was stunned when he heard this. If what he thought was correct, what this little bald man did was...

Musket!
