Yunding Ranch

Chapter 148
"He will continue to survive." Cole's answer made Song Lingyi heave a sigh of relief, "These cattle are specially bred for competition, and if they perform well, they will continue to survive for the next round of competition ; but if the performance is unsatisfactory, it will go directly to the slaughter process. We don't have the cruelty like Spanish bullfighting here."

Song Lingyi nodded her head lightly to express her understanding, simply put, to make the best use of everything.

If it is beef cattle, then the quality of the meat is the most important. The beginning of breeding is for the final slaughter, and those unnecessary pity and sympathy are completely unnecessary.Now more and more members of the Animal Protection Association are calling for the ban on bullfighting in Spain, thinking that this is a disrespect for life, but in fact, in real life, there are many different factors that must be considered.

Lu Huaijin asked further, "I thought that after every cowboy convention, a beef feast is a must for carnival."

"It used to be like this. Fifteen or 20 years ago." Cole simply explained, "But now that the times have progressed, people's entertainment activities have increased, and food has become more abundant. The situation has naturally changed."

"Wow!" The cheers at the scene interrupted their conversation. Lu Huaijin nodded to express his understanding, and then turned his head to look at the past with everyone. The No.2 cowboy is ready and is about to play.

The host dragged his voice and started to introduce, "Let us welcome...Frank...Reeves!"

In an instant, the enthusiasm of all the audience was ignited. Cheers and screams were heard endlessly. Lu Li also stood up and joined the crowd shouting. Someone even took the lead in shouting, "Fran! Fran!" Lu Li also waved his right fist and shouted loudly together, "Fran!"

Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin looked at the boisterous son, and looked at other people standing up around them. The two of them also stood up and raised their right hands high. They were a little cautious at first, but soon let go of their hands and feet. Join the ranks of everyone cheering.

It can be seen that Frank is definitely one of the most popular players today.

When the black bull came out of the gate, all the shouts at the scene turned into screams, "Ahh!" Everyone cheered for Frank together, wondering if it was the loud cheers that scared the black bull When it arrived, his beating and struggling were obviously not as strong as the black bull in the first game.Amidst the sound of cheering, Frank sat firmly on the back of the bull, seemingly not being challenged too much.

Such a stable posture angered Hei Niu, and his movements began to become fierce. Not only did this not make everyone nervous, but the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and screams continued to be heard one after another.Lu Li couldn't help but feel the sweat seeping from his forehead and palms, and finally saw Frank being thrown out like a rag sack, but he also skillfully rolled around on the spot twice and stood up again.

Thunderous applause!

"Keer, does this count as a better performance?" Lu Li couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"It depends on the judges." Cole shrugged, with an innocent expression on his face, "Actually, because this cow's bump is lower, although Fran persisted longer, it may not be able to get Higher scores. However, each cowboy’s cow is random, which requires a little bit of luck, so overall, Fran’s results should be good, and there is no problem in entering the second round.”

Cole turned his head, and then saw Alice, Fred and others standing beside him also had question marks on their faces. He couldn't help but chuckled, "If you continue to read, you will probably be able to find the feeling."

As Cole said, after the comparison, the gap gradually emerged, and everyone gradually saw some tricks in the following games.However, trying to identify who is the favorite to win, this is far from it.Fortunately, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway, and the selection of champions is left to professional judges.

There are a total of 24 contestants in the saddle bullfight, and half of the contestants will be eliminated tonight, and only twelve contestants can enter tomorrow night's competition.All the players that Lu Li and Song Lingyi bet on passed tonight's competition, retaining the hope of competing for the championship. This is a gratifying start.

Before the start of the second competition, during a short break, everyone decided to join in the fun, bet a little change, and participate in tonight's feast.Song Lingyi and Lu Huaijin joined everyone and went to join in the fun. Lu Li did not follow this time, but stayed where he was to help everyone take their seats.

After a short while, five cowgirls appeared on the stage again, carrying the banner marked with the Arabic numeral "2" around the field for a circle, announcing the official start of the second event of the two-person buffalo.

Two-person cattle harnessing is very life-like. Two people ride out on horseback and chase a calf in the field. One person uses a rope to tie the horns, and the other is responsible for using the rope to tie the hind feet. See which group completes these actions first; The same is true for lasing oxen, but one person trips the calf with a rope, then dismounts and binds the calf's four legs, and the one who takes the shortest time is the winner.

This is a situation that often occurs in the daily life of the ranch. Sometimes, the calf runs out alone, or in the process of buying and selling, it is necessary to bring the naughty and stubborn calf to the truck. This requires the cowboys to fight in person. This method Complete the set of cattle.It can be said that it is a very basic but very performative skill among cowboy skills.

There were no obstacles for Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi in this competition, and they also discussed with Cole enthusiastically——Which of the four cowboys on the ranch is the most skilled, and everyone finally came to the unanimous result that it was Brandon.Brandon was originally one of the contestants in the harness, so his ability should not be underestimated; moreover, he is also the most proficient in handling horses, and this job can be said to be very familiar to him.

The subsequent horse fighting pushed the atmosphere to a climax. This is a very retro sport.

Simply put, this is a continuation of the ancient skills of training wild horses.When people hunt a wild horse, they often need to tame the horse without a saddle to tame the violent wildness of the wild horse so that the horse can bow its head. Similar plots can often be seen in martial arts novels. It is much more dangerous. On the one hand, the bumps are more severe, and on the other hand, the speed is faster. If you are not careful, you may break your neck. Only a really good horseman can handle this important task.

However, now that it has developed into a sport, the danger has been reduced a lot. The horses used in the competition are not real wild horses, but horses that have not been fully tamed; and the organizers will wear saddles to ensure the safety of the players as much as possible.

Nevertheless, horse fighting is by far the most entertaining event.

"Ah!" Song Lingyi couldn't bear to look directly at him anymore, she firmly grasped Lu Li's arm, her brows were tightly furrowed, her heart was hanging high, her worried expression was still lingering.Not to mention Song Lingyi, even Lu Li was completely worried at this moment, staring at the cowboy in the arena intently.

I saw that his thin body was almost unable to support it, and he was firmly grasping the saddle with one hand, because the horse was really too violent, and the bumps were so violent that his whole back was bent into a bow , pressed down heavily, almost sticking to the horse's back, as if it would be broken if only a little more force was added; but the horse under the crotch still showed no sign of peace, and kept arching its head up and down. The horse's hooves jumped violently, falling down like a gust of wind and rain, leaving no room for breathing.

The whole audience is cheering for him, but the precarious crisis still shows no signs of being resolved, but it is getting more and more terrifying. He is like a grass in a tornado, trying to catch it with all his strength. The ground, but the strength is still too weak, and the huge drop contrast makes people frightened and dumbfounded.

The excitement and danger of the scene are far more turbulent than the saddled bullfight in the opening scene, which makes people terrified, but at the same time full of enthusiasm, challenges the sense of sight of the limits of human beings, and presents the confrontation between human beings and nature in such a real and brutal way Come out, and at the same time lay out a magnificent picture of the epic of human beings conquering nature.Breathtaking!
Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound in the arena, but the tiny sound exploded like a thunderbolt. Song Lingyi's muscles tensed up, her eyes widened, and she grabbed Lu Li's arm forcefully. The shouts of refueling also stopped abruptly, and everyone fell into a terrible short silence.

Lu Li also froze in place, the temperature of his brain dropped from boiling point to freezing point in an instant, and even the conditioned reflex seemed to have lost its automatic response mechanism.

In the silence of the audience, the fierce horse was still roaring and jumping, and the sharp cry tore through the darkness of the night, making people frightened.At this moment, the cowboy lying motionless on the horse's back sat up straight again, struggling to grab the saddle with his left hand, but even the strength of his hands was still not enough to cope with the writhing force like a dragon.

"yeah!"

When this scene came to his eyes, whistles and cheers came from his ears immediately. Lu Li had no time to react. The boiling blood drove the muscles of his body to struggle upwards, and he jumped up immediately, raising his arms and cheering. The screams came out unhindered, and Lu Li jumped up and down excitedly. He couldn't help hugging everyone around him passionately, and then shouted heartily, venting all the tension and apprehension just now.

Everyone, every audience at the scene was no exception. Everyone stood up and cheered, expressing their inner gratitude and joy in such a direct way, and the thunderous shouts echoed in their ears for a long time.But the shouting stopped soon, because people realized that this was not the end, and the steed was still tumbling with high spirits.

Crisis, still no contact.
