Zhao Xu asked curiously: "Clan leader, when will your championship event be held? What are you competing for?"

"Compared with antiphonal songs, I still have strength!"

"Anticipatory song? Strength?"

The old patriarch said "Yes!", nodded, and said: "Here, men's strength is the foundation of everything, and it is God who gives us the ability to eat. Every year, strong men are produced. This year, I heard that the Miao King and the Yao people

Two new strong men have appeared in the tribe, and our tribe is all elderly, so we have no chance of winning against them."

"As for antiphonal songs, our tribes all like to sing. When men compete in strength, women from all ethnic groups can vote; when they compete in antiphonal songs, men from all ethnic groups can vote. The main thing is to compare men's strength. As for women,

The purpose of the antiphon is to select the natural sounds of each year and sing them to the mountain god."

Zhao Xu's heart moved and he asked the old patriarch: "Can we outsiders participate?"

"Yes, yes! But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that you have to be our clan's host from now on."

"What do you mean by being a tribesman?"

"From now on, every year during the Chinese New Year, you need to pray in the direction of our clan. Of course, if you are sincere, you will be spiritual. If you are far away, I can't restrain you. However, there is a god three feet above your head, so you can

Should you understand?"

"Understood!" Zhao Xu nodded. "When will the event be held?"

"Three days later!"

Zhao Xu said: "Then we will represent your clan in the Hercules competition. Clan leader, I am willing to be a clan member."

The old patriarch looked Zhao Xu up and down and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, your body looks too thin. I'm not looking down on you. Those who participated in the Strongman are almost two to three hundred kilograms."

weight."

"Don't worry! I'm sure I can beat them." Zhao Xu smiled.

Wu A'Lun couldn't help but remember that on the road, Lu Yuqi, a woman, defeated the four strong men. She whispered something in the ear of the old patriarch.

The old patriarch had a look of surprise in his eyes. He first looked at Lu Yuqi, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Xu, and asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you really want to participate?"

"Yes! I don't want to miss the opportunity to go to Yaowang Valley. Didn't you say that if you win this event, you can have a shortcut to Yaowang Valley?"

"Okay! Then in the name of the clan leader, I agree that you will be the host of our clan." The old clan leader said. "I hope Mr. Zhao will not forget what I said and pray devoutly in our direction every year during the New Year.

I pray that our clan will have good weather!"

"Don't worry, patriarch! I will do it."

The old patriarch nodded.

Uncle Wu stepped forward, put his arm around Zhao Xu's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Good brother, our clan has never defeated them. I hope you can help us this time."

Zhao Xu smiled and said nothing.

Uncle Wu's wife is a good cook and quickly prepared a table of local delicacies.

Although the house of the old patriarch was simple and simple, the conditions in the house were limited. After setting up a table of sumptuous food, everyone enjoyed the meal and praised Uncle Wu's wife's cooking skills.

Uncle Wu had an empty house at home, so during dinner, he suggested to Zhao Xu that he should stay at his house after dinner.

"Can I stay here?" Zhao Xu asked.

"I can live here! I just want you to squeeze in on the same bed, do you mind?" Uncle Wu asked.

Zhao Xu looked at Hua Yi, then at his cousin Zhao Han, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Yuqi.

Lu Yuqi seemed to know what Zhao Xu meant and said, "I'm not afraid! Anyway, there is Zhao Han, and your sister is here. I'm sorry you don't dare to do anything wrong!"

Zhao Xu originally wanted to reply to Lu Yuqi, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

After all, if you make excessive jokes in front of the patriarch, it will be disrespectful.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a long time at the old patriarch's house. It was not until late at night that Uncle Wu took Zhao Xu and others back to his home.

Uncle Wu's wife brought some new bedding and helped Zhao Xu and others clean up. She apologized and said, "We have limited conditions here and I have wronged you."

Hua Yi smiled and said: "How could it be? Just do as the Romans do! I just don't disturb you."

"Don't disturb! Don't disturb! It's been a hard journey for you, so go to bed early! You don't have to get up so early. You can just get up again after I've made breakfast."

Uncle Wu's wife is a simple woman, and from her words, Zhao Xu and others felt a strong sense of simplicity.

This was the first time Zhao Xu slept with Hua Yi and Lu Yuqi while away from home. Fortunately, Zhao Han was here, otherwise the situation would have been a bit embarrassing.

Zhao Xu slept inside, and next to him was Zhao Nian, then Zhao Han, Hua Yi, and finally Lu Yuqi. The five of them just slept together, so it didn't seem too crowded.

However, everyone was lying together. Although they were tired from traveling, they did not feel sleepy.

Zhao Xu said to Zhao Han: "Xiao Han, can you sing on behalf of Lahu? Your singing voice is beautiful. If you can sing it to the mountain god, it may help us enter the Yaowang Valley and find Miss Jinzhu earlier."

"Me?" Zhao Han was shocked and said, "Brother Xu, I can't sing national songs either!"

"Why don't you just learn it? If you have talent in this area, you will definitely learn it as soon as you can."

Lu Yuqi also wanted to hear Zhao Han sing, and said with a smile: "Xiao Han, just sing! I have never heard of a live performance by a big star like you. Just treat it as a free show for locals."

performance."

"But......"

Zhao Xu interrupted Zhao Han and said, "Don't worry, singing is not a dangerous thing. It can also relax your body and mind! Xiao Qi is right, just treat it as a free performance for the locals."

"Okay!" Zhao Han finally agreed.

At this moment, bursts of blushing and heart-beating sounds could be heard in everyone's ears.

Although Zhao Han and Lu Yuqi were older girls, they also understood what the sound was about.

It turned out that after Uncle Wu came back, he couldn't bear the loneliness and got together with his mother-in-law. This sound was made by Uncle Wu and his mother-in-law.

Zhao Xu and others, look at me and I look at you. The topic they were originally discussing suddenly became quiet.

For Zhao Xu and others, this sound is simply a kind of torture.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, but Zhao Xu and others were all thinking in their minds.

Fortunately for Zhao Xu, Zhao Nian was so tired after playing all day that he lay down and fell asleep.

During this night's sleep, no one had a very peaceful sleep, and the voices of Uncle Wu and his wife echoed in their minds from time to time.

Zhao Xu had the habit of getting up early, so he did not practice sword practice after getting up early. After all, his swordsmanship was astonishing, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was extraordinary.

I was in the yard, stretching my arms and kicking my legs from time to time.

Not long after, Uncle Wu came out.

Uncle Wu acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't even mention what happened with his wife last night. He asked Zhao Xu politely: "Mr. Zhao, you got up so early!"

"Morning! Uncle Wu, did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay! It smells good. Did you sleep well?" Uncle Wu asked.

"good!"
