Once upon a time, Chen Jingle watched other people's lion dance performances like this, feeling envious in his heart.
Not for anything else, just because I feel cool and handsome enough.
Lion dance is so much fun!
However, he has not been good at sports since he was a child and has little strength. It is a bit difficult for him to learn this.
Now that times have changed, looking back, although I will still be amazed by the performers' skills, I will no longer think of joining them.
On the contrary, it was that little figure that made him seem to see himself back then.
So he walked through the crowd.
"Do you like lion dance?"
Deng Bin heard someone talking in his ear. He turned around and found that there was a tall and straight brother beside him. He looked very friendly.
Nodding subconsciously: "Yes."
"How much do you like it?"
"Um, I like it very much!"
Deng Bin giggled and scratched his head.
"Why?"
"Because he's very handsome. Don't you think so? He can fly from here to there in a flash, as if he knows Qinggong."
Deng Bin gestured with his fingers and grinned, showing his uneven teeth.
But when he said this, his eyes were really bright and full of love.
Chen Jingle said with a smile, "Then you can?"
"I don't know how yet."
Deng Bin's face fell, and he quickly regained his smile: "But the master said that I am very talented. If I practice more, I will be able to carry the lion's head next year, and I will definitely learn it by then."
"How long have you been studying?"
"Almost a year."
"Are you tired from regular practice?"
"I'm tired, but I can eat enough and every meal has meat, so it's okay."
Chen Jingle was surprised: "So easily satisfied?"
Deng Bin was even more surprised: "I'm very happy to have meat for every meal, okay? I don't have so much meat at home."
Oh, it turns out he is also a child from a poor family.
But think about it, generally those from better-off families are not willing to let their parents learn this.
I heard that many lion awakening groups now specifically look for children from relatively poor families to train them so that they can endure hardship and help them improve their family conditions.
"How old are you this year?"
"Twelve years old."
can not tell.
I thought they were ten years old at most. After all, children grow up so fast nowadays, especially in northern cities. It is very common for the fifth and sixth graders to be 1.7 meters tall. In the south, it is even worse, but there are many who are over 1.6 meters tall.
At the age of 12, he is just over 1.4 meters tall. If it's not genetics, it's malnutrition.
Deng Bin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and smiled sheepishly: "I was born short, so the master said I should eat more meat."
Chen Jinngle just smiled: "Do you usually practice when you go to school?"
"Well, I will practice after school and on Saturdays and Sundays."
"Your parents don't object?"
"No, I learned lion dance from my master. He sponsored my studies and said that I would at least finish high school. He also gave my parents two thousand yuan a month."
Forehead.
Chen Jingle wonders if this counts as child labor?
It shouldn't count, lion dance is a performance. Or the people will not hold the officials accountable?
"What do your parents do?"
"A plowman. If you don't have good hands and feet, you don't want to be a worker."
Chen Jingle was silent.
After a while, he asked again: "Do you plan to dance as a lion for the rest of your life?"
Deng Bin wondered: "Why not? I think lion dance is very good. You can eat meat and get money for it. When you are old, you can teach others lion dance, just like the master."
really.
There is nothing shameful about lion dancing. Although the income is unstable, this is the Wenche Lion Dance Troupe, one of the best in the industry, and it will not leave people hungry.
Chen Jingle shook his head and laughed.
My bad habit of thinking about others is really hard to change.
"What color lion do you like?"
"Red, the master said the red lion represents Guan Gong. There is a Guan Gong temple in our village. Guan Gong is so domineering."
"really."
After all, he is a martial saint.
Chen Jingle was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "I'll give it to you!"
"ah?"
Deng Bin didn't react and blinked.
Chen Jingle just chuckled.
No reason, just do it if you want to.
…
Deng Binzhen received a lion head.
Very beautiful bright red color, just as good as the one used in the lion dance group.
He happily ran to tell the master: "Master, I have my own lion head!"
"This is the Lion King!"
Li Guangrong was surprised.
In a business like theirs, after being around for a long time and seeing a lot, they will become more and more convinced that lions have spiritual energy. And this kind of aura is not only reflected in the superb production technology.
Why do lions have eyes?
Just because dotting the eyes will give the lion aura.
The lion's head in front of me has obviously been dotted.
The color red represents Guan Gong, and the lion's head is painted with the traditional red face and black Guan Dao pattern. Looking directly at it, it instantly gives people a mysterious and mysterious power.
This is the finishing touch...well done!
Li Guangrong secretly took a breath, not to mention him, even the older generation of masters might not be able to achieve this effect.
He looked at the small note in Deng Bin's hand.
"Gift to little friend Deng Bin."
The font is as graceful as a frightening dragon, and its charm is natural. For a moment, I was lost in thought and speechless.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and patted his little apprentice on the head: "Study hard. When you can dance with the lion's head, you can take him to the lion team."
He believes that with this lion head here, the lion awakening group will reach a new peak in the next five years!
at the same time,
Someone was walking on the streets of Suicheng, holding a piece of roasted sweet potato and gnawing on it. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly chuckled.
"The Land Lord God said that He will bless every child in the territory."
Words fall, vows come true.
…
Chen Jinngle has always been worried about two issues.
One is whether he will slowly lose his humanity over time and only retain his divinity.
In a sense, humans and gods are two different species, with different upper life spans, different power systems, and different dimensional worlds.
If someone is used to thinking like a god and looking at problems from a god's perspective, over time, he may become disdainful and arrogant when looking at ordinary people.
Arrogance is a terrible thing that can destroy a person's brain.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
Another thing is, after contacting the authorities, what should you do if the result is different from what you expected?
What should I do if the opinions and ideas of both parties or some people on the other side are contrary to his?
However, at this moment, both problems were suddenly figured out.
As long as he still has emotions and desires and remembers that he is a human being, he will never be deified.
God should not be above us.
If he has power and feels that he can look down on all living beings and should rule over the weak, what is the difference between him and those he hates?
As for the second one——
"It's different than expected, then it's different. What's the big deal?"
Let nature take its course, don't take yourself too seriously, and don't take the other person too seriously.
Eat and drink when you should.
To put it bluntly, in comparison, it is obvious that the official needs him more, and the initiative lies with him.
It's best if we can cooperate, but forget it if we can't.
You take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge.
After I figured it out, I suddenly felt relaxed and relaxed.
According to Taoism, it means enlightenment, and the advantage is that it will make the subsequent path of cultivation smoother.
An international event that happened next further strengthened Chen Jingle's thoughts and attitude.
