Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tournament
It rained during the night, and by dawn the rain had stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the sun rises, the rain is quickly evaporated, the sky is clear, and it is a rare good weather!
The small square in front of the ancestral hall of the Zou family was crowded.
As early as a month ago, Zou Gaosheng announced that he would hold a competition today to select one of the two grandsons of Zou Dui and Zou Yu to become the heir to the head of the family. This is a big family event, so today, almost all the people in the Zou family have gathered in the small square.
Zou Yu arrived early, standing in the center of the venue at the moment, slowly warming up with boxing. He was dressed in a spotless tight-fitting military robe, and his heroic face looked very temperamental. The only thing that was a little eye-catching was that there were layers of bandages wrapped around his palms, which completely covered his palms, making people guess that his palms might be injured.
On the chairmanship of the small square, Zou Gaosheng and Yang family elders were all listed, and most of them were talking with relaxed expressions, because they all thought that Zou Yu was bound to win, and everything was just a formality, so the attention was not on today's competition.
And some people who think they are shrewd even in front of Zou Gaosheng, they directly set up a relationship with the Yang family.
As time passed, Zou Dui's figure did not appear for a long time, and the people in the small square gradually became a little impatient.
"You say, will Zou Dui know that he can't beat Zou Yu, so he simply won't come?"
"It's very likely, if I thought about it, if I were him, I wouldn't be stupid and embarrassed!"
"Hey, you're not Zou Dui, Zou Dui's brain has some problems, so he doesn't care if he is embarrassed or not, he hasn't come yet, probably because of other things delayed. ”
......
The gossip gradually sounded, and judging from the various voices, it was actually a one-sided look at Zou Dui. There is no doubt that Zou Dui's waste image in the past ten years has been too ingrained in the minds of the Zou family, and it is not easy to reverse.
Zou Dui's delay made the elders of the Zou family gradually become impatient, and even Zou Gaosheng's face began to look bad. At this moment, a lazy voice sounded: "Sorry, sorry, I overslept a little and made everyone wait for a long time......"
In the midst of the voice, Zou Dui yawned while shaking the old folding fan in his hand and walked into the small square.
In fact, Zou Dui had already come, but he did not show up, but stood in the dark and observed. Zou Dui saw that Zou Yu attached great importance to this competition, not only did he come early, but he was expressionless, not smiling, and even a little nervous.
In addition, Zou Yu's bandaged palms also made Zou Dui mutter, and he couldn't figure out Zou Yu's intentions for a while, and he was secretly vigilant.
After observing for a while, Zou Dui saw that the elders of the family were already impatient, and knew that they couldn't delay any longer, so they appeared generously.
It's just that Zou Dui's appearance is quite underwhelming, obviously it is a major event in the family, and he can still oversleep, and now he still looks sleepy and fluffy. For a while, everyone in the Zou family was a little unhappy, and bursts of cynicism came over.
Among the elders of the family, there was even an old man with a fiery temper who stood up at once, pointed at Zou Dui's nose and shouted: "Zou Dui, what a big matter it is to decide the heir of the head of the family, you dare to be late? You are no longer qualified to participate in the competition, consciously admit defeat!"
Zou Dui was not annoyed, looked at the old man with a smile, and said, "Yo, what the sixth uncle said, who stipulates that if you are late, you will lose your qualification for martial arts?"
"You ......"
The old man was even more angry, pointing at Zou Dui to continue drinking.
"Sixth, sit down. ”
Zou Gaosheng stood up, pressed the old man down with a plain word, and obediently returned to his seat.
Afterwards, Zou Gaosheng looked at Zou Dui and said, "Dui'er, what your sixth uncle said is right, for such a major family event, as one of the candidates for the heir of the head of the family, you really shouldn't be late." But you're right, there was no rule that you would be disqualified if you were late. So I won't punish you this time, you make preparations and start the competition with Yu'er. ”
"Oh......"
Zou Dui answered, put the old folding fan behind his neck, and jumped into the center of the small square.
"Ahh
A series of strange screams came out of Zou Dui's mouth, and he was seen jumping around the field with his warm-up fists and kicks.
Compared with Zou Yu's tight-fitting martial arts robe, his old robe is not suitable for martial arts competitions at all, and the posture of warm-up punching is also strange and hilarious. For a while, there were bursts of "hee-hee-ha-ha" laughter in the field, and many people were amused by Zou Dui's actions, pointing and pointing, looking at Zou Dui like a monkey.
But Zou Yu in the field can breathe fire in his eyes, Zou Dui's behavior is good like a clown, but Zou Yu feels that Zou Dui is doing this on purpose, in order to insult him. Gritting his teeth, Zou Yu clenched his fists fiercely, even without Yang's orders, he was eager to go up and pinch Zou Du to death immediately.
Such a major family event was turned into a farce by Zou Dui, and it is getting worse. Zou Gaosheng's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the handle of the chair fiercely, and shouted: "Enough!
As soon as Zou Gaosheng's voice fell, Zou Yu's eyes locked on Zou Dui, and as soon as he kicked the soles of his feet on the ground, he flew towards Zou Dui.
"Hey, little brother, your brother and I haven't warmed up yet......"
In the face of Zou Yu's rush, Zou Dui seemed to be flustered, looking like he was in a hurry.
There was a burst of laughter from the field, but it also made Zou Yu's face a little more angry, and the speed of rushing forward was a little faster.
In the blink of an eye, Zou Yu rushed in front of Zou Dui. Zou Dui sneered in his heart, knowing that Zou Yu was angry and had lost his normal heart, so he didn't think about it at the moment, and took a horse step, and put his arms in a defensive posture.
"Drink!"
Zou Yu burst into a shout, and with the inertia of rushing forward at high speed, his fist rushed straight and smashed towards Zou Dui's face.
Zou Dui saw it, and his arms were in front of Zou Yu's fist.
The martial arts cultivation of the second stage can easily have the strength of two hundred catties with one arm, and the strength of the fist when attacking with all his strength is four or five hundred catties, and Zou Duixiu is at a loss for the sake of the top, and his strength is definitely worse than Zou Yu.
Everyone on the side saw Zou Yu's merciless punch, and they were also exclaimed, feeling that Zou Yu was a punch with all his strength, such a huge strength, even if Zou Dui's arms were successfully blocked, the whole person was afraid that he would be smashed by a punch and fly out.
Syllable!
"What!"
Zou Yu's eyes were wide, and he was not a little surprised, when his punch hit Zou Dui's blocked arms, he only felt as if he had hit the cotton, and he couldn't use his strength at all. And Zou Dui even trembled slightly, as if he had roots under his feet, and he didn't move at all.
