Portable space

Every year during the festival in July or around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when the Lantern Festival is not playing social fire, there will be big plays here, and sometimes a song and dance troupe will be invited to perform songs and dances. In recent years, every household has a TV and cable TV, and there is no market for group movies.But this year, playing social fire, naturally I won't sing anymore.

The square in front of the theater building was very large, easily accommodating tens of thousands of people, and a bonfire was burning in the middle of the venue.There is a high shelf not far from the campfire.

After Shehuo entered here, everything stopped, even the sound of gongs and drums disappeared. There is a leader's opening remarks here, which should have the meaning in the title.

However, after the scene fell silent, something astonishing and inexplicable happened before the leader walked to the front of the microphone on the stage.

A bird with a hooked beak and brightly colored feathers flapped its wings and landed on the table behind the microphone. It took a sip of water from the cup, and then screamed into the microphone, "Start! Start! "The loudspeakers installed on the poles around the field immediately spread its sound to every corner of the square.

Others don't know this bird, but how could Zhang Taiping not know it?This is clearly Xiao Wu, but I don't know who it came here with.

After the parrot flew away, the people under the stage were shocked, the crowd was silent.

The leader who just came to the stage and was about to give a speech originally had a long speech, but now he was preempted by a talking bird. Saying "Let's get started!"

What followed was a heart-to-heart performance, where everyone shouted heartily, venting heartily the celebration and joy brought by the New Year in their hearts.

At about ten o'clock, all the performances went to one side, leaving a large space in the field, which was used for the final dragon and lion dances.

The scene of the two dragons dancing together is grand, and the flames that are not exploding next to it make the two dragons feel like they are in the clouds, which is a bit interesting, but it is still less exciting and lacks the kind of excitement. People yelling with passion.

After the dragon dance, the lion dance is different. This is the most anticipated program tonight.

The stands in the arena are as high as four or five meters, and they are used to perform for the lions tonight. Although they can't be the kind of lions who can walk the plum blossom piles, they can still put on the stands.

It is not a simple matter for two people to go on the shelf together, and one person needs to bend over all the time. A little carelessness will end up falling from the top, so some safety measures are also taken under the shelf.

First of all, a thick layer of straw was laid on the ground, and a layer of cotton mat was laid on top of the straw, so that even if it fell from a height of more than four meters from the top of the shelf, nothing would happen.However, stumbling on the shelf cannot be prevented by others, only the lion himself should be careful.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Wang Peng took off the lion's head and came out to breathe. He drank a glass of water and said, "I didn't expect that there will be lions on the shelves this year. Uncle, I will also participate."

The old village chief looked at him and shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can walk on the bench twice with the two moves you are playing with the lion, but you can't do it on the shelf."

"Why don't you try?"

"This still needs to be tried?" The old village chief gave him a look and said, "Have you ever trained to climb a shelf?"

"It's not difficult, what else do you need to train?" Wang Peng said.

The old village chief really wanted to hit him twice on the head with a pot of dry smoke, pressed the dry smoke in the pot with his fingers and said: "Climbing this alone is not difficult, children can climb it, but you have to know Playing a lion is an activity of two people, and it cannot be done by one person. Have you ever thought about how two people can cooperate on the shelf to keep the lion's shape? If you don't cooperate a little, you will fall from the top ending."

Wang Peng scratched his head and quibbled: "There is such a thick layer of straw underneath, it's okay to fall off."

The old village head knocked on his head and said: "Do you see what shape that shelf is? Could it have fallen from the top to the ground all at once? Of course there is nothing wrong with falling to the ground all at once. The ground is covered with thick straw, but what if it rolls off the shelf? Are you sure the stubble won't touch your face?"

"It may not necessarily fall down." Wang Peng defended weakly.

"As far as your lion-playing level is concerned, it is certain that you will fall from above." The old village head said, "Do you think it is important to play lively or to be safe?"

Wang Peng stopped talking, even though he hadn't given up the idea of ​​putting on a shelf to force the hydrangea in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth. The fear of the village chief was a psychological shadow that had been generated for more than ten years, and he didn't dare to directly forcibly disobey it. of.

There are ten lions in total, besides Wang Peng's two, there are four big four and eight small ones. Naturally, the little lions are not allowed to participate in this show. In the end, only four big lions are left to climb the shelf to snatch the hydrangea .

There is a red hydrangea on the top of the shelf, and there is a small lamp inside, which looks like a night pearl on the top of the shelf.The rules are very simple, as long as whoever reaches the top first and grabs the hydrangea will be the lion king tonight, and there will be rewards.They are all in the same village. For the sake of safety, you can block them, but you are not allowed to attack multiple parties maliciously.

After the order was given, the four lions each occupied one side of the four-corner shelf and began to climb upwards.

There are handrails and footholds on the shelf. It is not difficult to climb up if you are good at playing lions, but if you don’t know the knack of coordinating and not moving, the appearance on it will be ugly.

As soon as he got on the shelf and stood up and down, it was obvious that there was a lion just like the old village head said Wang Peng. The lion's body stretched so long that it didn't look like a lion at all, but looked like an earthworm in red clothes all the time.

Soon a lion climbed to the top, held the glowing hydrangea in its mouth, and made several thrilling moves on the top, which made the people below applaud.

The other three lions retreated first, leaving only the lion that got the hydrangea to perform various thrilling and applauding moves on the shelf.

There was no accident during this process, but an accident happened when the lion just got off the shelf.

A group of young lads held torches and surrounded them. I don't know that the innocent guy actually sprinkled a handful of charcoal powder on the torch at this time, and the fire exploded with a bang, and the burst of flames shot straight up. The body of a lion.

You must know that the lion's body is full of flammable materials, and you dare not see a single spark, let alone this kind of direct combustion. If you are not careful, the two people inside will not want to live.

The whole lion quickly burned into a fire lion. In the next year, the person inside hurriedly threw away the lion head and lion body, but the lion hair on the legs had already burned.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

The people next to them all shouted after the first moment of astonishment, and several people came forward to help the two men remove the burning "lion hair" from their legs regardless of the burning on their hands.Because it was winter, the two people who were on fire were fine, but the helpers all had blisters on their hands from the fire.

People only cared about saving lives, but ignored the burning lion head and lion body, and quickly ignited the straw and cotton mats on the ground. It became a stove, and even the central shelf was burned.Fortunately, there are no other things around the center of the square, so there is no need to worry about the fire spreading.

Seeing the blazing fire, several other people in lion costumes all took off, including Wang Peng.

"I didn't expect him to be damned. Isn't this too scary?" Wang Peng sighed.

The old village head shook his head and said: "When playing with a lion, the most fearful thing is to be contaminated with sparks. Today's young people do things without thinking, and dare to go to the lion with a torch. This thing is about to end. It's just a disaster."

At this moment, Wang Peng patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go there just now, otherwise the result would be really scary."

People surrounded the place with three layers inside and three layers outside. It was hard for the village cadres from Fengyukou to squeeze in and asked quickly, "Are you alright?"

"Fortunately, they were rescued in time, and everyone was fine, but a few villagers who were desperate to save others had their hands burned by the fire." Someone replied.

"It's good that people are fine, and it's good that people are fine." The village cadre said, wiping the sweat off his brow.Then he asked, "The fellow who saved people is a hero, so I have to praise him." He held up the burned hands of a few people to see that the problem was not serious, but it was certain that he would not be able to hold things with his hands for half a month or a month.He said, "The cost of treatment is paid by the village, and each person is rewarded with 1000 yuan. The virtue of saving the villagers without fear of life and death is commendable!"

When this kind of thing happened, the previous excitement of the people cooled down, and they all looked at the fire burning in the center of the field.

The village cadre felt that the atmosphere was not good, and it would be bad if a festive event turned into a bad one at the end, so he had an idea and said: "This fire is not bad!"

Everyone looked at the village cadre in surprise, not knowing why he said that at this time.

The village cadre said: "The fire is raging, so our two villages are booming this year, and this day will be prosperous!"

"Yes! It's booming!" People always hope for good things in their hearts, and many people also echoed.
