Chapter 621 Playing with a lion

There are four sets of lion costumes, two large, two small, and they are well preserved inside the box.

Lion dance is an indispensable component of the annual social fire, and is divided into southern lion and northern lion. The shape of the northern lion is similar to a real lion, with a simpler lion head and golden fur all over the body. The one with a red knot on the lion's head is

Male lions, those with green knots are female. Lion dancers' pants and shoes will be covered with fur, and they look like lifelike lions before dancing.

The northern lions played here usually appear in pairs of male and female; led by the master dressed as a warrior. Sometimes a pair of northern lions will be paired with a pair of small northern lions. The small lion teases the big lion, and the big lion plays for fun.

It shows a good family relationship. However, the village is small and slightly short of manpower. The old village chief and a few old people discussed together and came up with two sets, one large and one small. The big one can fit two adults in it, and the small one is for eleven and a half years old.

It's for the big dolls to play with.

The old village chief shouted to the people around him: "That young man is willing to play lion?"

"I'll do it." "I'll do it." As soon as he finished speaking, there were two words of agreement, and both Wang Laoqiang and Wang Peng ran over.

The old village chief glanced at Wang Laoqiang and said: "How old are you? Are you here to play lion? It's time to knock the gong or lift the core for such a lot of labor." Then he looked at Wang Peng and said, "Wang

A friend is suitable, but you need to find another young man."

Wang Laoqiang and the old village chief scolded but did not dare to refute. They could only smile bitterly and shrug their shoulders at Zhang Taiping behind him to express his helplessness.

According to Zhang Taiping's understanding, most social fires nowadays are pulled by cars and rarely carried by people. He walked up to the old village chief and said: "Uncle, did Xinzi find a few cars to pull them?"

If people carry it, it will not only be tiring but also inconvenient. Nowadays, the Shehuo outside is pulled by cars, so it can move around more places and travel farther."

The village has not participated in social games for several years. The old village chief's mind was still stuck on the kind of game played a few years ago or even more than ten years ago, so he did not think of using a car to pull him. Zhang Taiping had to

I was reminded that in recent years, people in other villages have used cars to pull people to play social games. I patted my trouser legs and said, "Hey, using cars to pull them is a good way to save manpower."

"Let's see if we can find a motor vehicle in the village." Zhang Taiping said.

"There are two four-wheeled 'Shifeng' carts for pulling bricks in the village, which may not be enough." The old village chief thought for a while and said, "But this is not a problem. I will go to Han Baoguo in Tuping Village to borrow two carts tonight.

When the car comes over, I think he will still give me this face."

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "Uncle, I must have some respect, but we can't borrow it in vain. Let's calculate it according to the leasing wages. The same goes for the two cars in the village."

The old village chief waved his hand and said, "How dare he ask me for money when I borrow it from him?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "This is not a question of whether others dare to do it, but a question of whether we should do it. Anyway, the village is not short of money now, so we can't make others feel uncomfortable, right?"

The old village chief thought for a while and finally said: "It's the same reason. Society is constantly changing, so just follow what you said."

Just as the old village chief lamented, society is constantly changing. A dozen years ago or even a few years ago, if you just asked the whole village to contribute money and efforts, no one would complain or want anything from it. However,

Nowadays, the society that is increasingly eroded by money is different. It does not mean that people no longer have simplicity, but the position of simplicity has been moved back a little.

Zhang Taiping continued: "Those who are busy here cannot work in vain. Each person will be counted as one work per day. When the time comes, each worker will be given a towel or a pack of washing powder or something like that, and it will be paid to me."

"

"That's no problem. The money is still spent in the village, so we don't lose anything." The old village chief said, "But how can you pay for this money? Collective activities should be paid for by the village."

Zhang Taiping smiled and did not argue with the old village chief about this matter. It didn't cost much anyway, and the village would not lose much if it spent the money.

At this time, several boys aged eleven or twelve came over and said to the old village chief: "Village Chief, no one is playing with this lion yet, right?"

The old village chief put the little lion costume in front of them and said: "No one is playing it yet. You guys can discuss it and see who is suitable. Then choose two people to get in and try it out. If you don't know how to play it, wait for a while and let someone teach you."

I’ll teach you.”

Several boys happily took the lion costumes aside and tried them on.

After a while, Wang Peng found a young man to join him, as well as two and a half young men. They all put on lion costumes and started jumping around in the field.

The first person is a lion's head, holding the lion's head upright with both hands, and the latter person is a lion's body, bending behind to protect the waist of the first person, so that from the outside it looks like a majestic and majestic lion with its head held high and its chest high.

.

However, none of the four people, the big one, the two little ones, had much experience playing with lions. The people in front and behind couldn't cooperate well, so they looked very funny when they walked swaying.

"Ouch!" Wang Peng, one of the big lions, yelled, and then the big lion fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

Someone nearby joked: "Wang Peng, that's not bad. You learned how to roll a lion in such a short time?"

The people next to me all burst out laughing when they heard it.

Wang Peng took off the lion's head, got out and said to the person behind him: "Just grab my waist, don't pull my pants, you almost pulled my pants off."

The man from behind also came out and said awkwardly: "I didn't step well just now and almost fell down. In desperation, I grabbed a handful at random and unexpectedly caught your pants. Why didn't you tighten your belt?"

"

"Aren't you wearing sweatpants just for running?" Wang Peng said, pulling on the elastic band of the sweatpants.

"Pay attention next time, pay attention next time."

The old village chief called Wang Gui over and said, "You have played with a lion before. Tell them the essentials."

After smoking a cigarette, Wang and Peng got into the lion again. This time with Wang Gui's guidance, they slowly found a feeling. Although Bai couldn't do any fancy moves, at least he wouldn't do it again.

Fell down.

The old village chief looked inside the warehouse and took out a pair of willow legs and shouted: "There are two pairs of willow legs here. Who would wear these?"

"Willow legs" are the name here in Guanzhong, because they are made of willow wood. In other places, they are also called firewood legs, high legs, walking high legs, crutches, stilts, etc. They are two arms thick

The wooden stick is tied to the legs when playing, and the wooden stick is used to walk.

They also vary in height and are divided into three levels: high, middle and low. The tallest can reach up to one foot, while the lowest is less than two feet high.

This is not an activity that everyone can play. You must have skills, courage and good balance. If you play well, you can sing and dance on it or do some actions such as running and crossing obstacles. But these

Few people can play this anymore, and even less difficult moves.

The old village chief took out a pair of "middle stilts" that are more than one meter high and a pair of "low stilts" that eat more food each time.

A young man ran up to him happily and said, "I'll give it a try, I'll give it a try."

The old village chief asked: "Can you do this?"

"I haven't been there before." The young man shook his head and said, "Try it."

"Forget it if you haven't walked through it." The old village chief took back the willow leg again. Because it is very dangerous for people who have never played with this thing. If you accidentally fall, you may suffer a fracture or a bloody head.

There was a danger of bleeding, so the village chief simply refused to let him try it, and the village did not hold this program this year.

On the other side, a group of people were moving out a bunch of things under the guidance of a few old people, and then assembling them into a frame for building cores.

Zhang Taiping went over and took a look. All the equipment below was carried by people, and it was not stable when placed on the car. He said: "We don't need people to carry it this year, we only use cars to pull it. We don't need the handles carried by these people. Find a way to give it to the people."

Add something fixed underneath so that it will be stable when placed in the car.”

Old Man Qian, who was repairing the work, said, "Didn't you also learn carpentry for a few years? This task will be left to you. Do it as you see fit."

Zhang Taiping saw that everyone else was busy, and there was no way to stand here by himself. He might as well find a job, so he agreed, went home, fetched the carpenter, and began to add stable frames to the core frames.

Things like wooden boards.
