Chapter 572: Betting (9 chapters added for the reward from the book friends who contributed to the crowdfunding leader)
Bai Shanbao and the other two: ...
When the boys heard this, they burst into laughter. The leader immediately waved his hand and called out, "Hurry, hurry, everyone, spread out and search. We must find our kite before they do."
Manbao took a deep breath and asked Keke: "Where is it? Forget it, don't tell me, let's find it ourselves. I don't believe we can't find it better than them!"
So the three of them left Daji on the tree and ran to look for him nearby.
Daikichi on the tree: ...
He sighed sadly and resigned himself to untying the kite and taking it down. The kite strings were tangled up in a mess, entangled with branches and leaves, so it was impossible for him to untie all the strings.
He quickly pulled out a dagger and cut all the strings, then carefully slid down with only the kite in his hand.
Before he even landed, he heard a young man shout, "I found it, I found it, on this tree..."
"Where is it? Where is it? Wow, it's so high up. How do I get it?"
"Where's the servant of the three of them? He can climb trees."
Daji: ...
Daji slowed down and slid slowly to the ground. Then he looked at the kite he had just taken down from his hand and frowned.
Manbao and the others also ran over to take a look. When they looked up, they saw the kite hanging on the tree. Now they were sure that it was their kite.
Because Bai Erlang's insect head was facing downwards, they could see it clearly.
They actually found it in advance...
The three of them glared at the group of teenagers, but then they remembered something and became happy again. They chuckled and said, "Can you climb trees?"
"We can't do it, but can you?" They originally wanted to ask Bai Shanbao's servants to do it, but seeing them do it, the young men also became tough and shouted: "We can't climb trees, but we can fight!"
"Yes, just hit it with a stick."
The tree where these two kites fell is not as tall as the previous one, so they can be hit with a longer bamboo pole.
Manbao said with disdain: "Even the best kite will be broken by your beating. Are you looking for the kite or killing it?"
"In the end, you still want your servants to climb up so that you can take the credit."
Manbao snorted and said, "Even if we don't let Daji go up, we can still climb up and take it down."
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang said in unison: "Not bad!"
“We don’t believe it!”
Manbao: "How about we make a bet? If we can climb up and take it down, you lose. If we can't take it down, regardless of whether you can take it down or not, we lose."
"What's the bet?"
Manbao: "If we can take it down, you have to hold up your own kite and say 'ugly kite' three times, and then say 'beautiful kite' three times to my junior brother's big insect kite. How about it, do you dare to bet?"
The young men discussed it for a moment. They carefully examined Bai Shanbao and the others' appearance and age, realizing they were about the same age as them, perhaps even a year or two younger. Therefore, they were not afraid at all and said, "Let's bet, who's afraid of who? But we must state in advance that we cannot ask your servants to help."
Manbao and the other two said in unison: "No problem."
Then the three of them gathered together to discuss, "Who's going to go up?"
Bai Shanbao said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors."
Manbao: "Win or lose?"
Bai Erlang: "Of course I won. It's a rare opportunity to climb a tree in an open and honest way."
So the three of them put their hands behind their backs, chanted "Rock, Paper, Scissors", and then punched at the same time. The three of them quickly completed three rounds without stopping in between.
In the end, Manbao, who always has good luck, wins.
She giggled, ran to Daji to ask for a short knife, and pinned it directly on her waist. Then she lifted up her skirt and fixed it around her waist, hugged the tree and climbed up.
The seven young men stared with their mouths wide open, speechless for a long time.
Manbao quickly climbed up, then climbed onto a branch and sat down. He cut all the tangled strings with a knife, then put the two kites on his back and walked down while hugging the tree.
The seven boys slowly closed their mouths.
Because of the bet he had made with them, Manbao didn't pretend to accidentally step on their beauty kites. Instead, he jumped to the ground with both kites on his back, returned the beauty kite to them, and then raised his chin to the seven people, "Speak."
Seven young men: ...
Bai Erlang took his big insect kite and stood directly in front of the teenagers, pointing the insect head at them.
The seven young men turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight. It was not difficult for them to call their beauty kite an ugly kite, but to call such an ugly big insect kite a beautiful kite was really a crime against their conscience.
But under the coercion of the three, the seven people had to abandon their sense of shame and whispered to the big kite against their conscience: "Beautiful kite, beautiful kite, beautiful kite..."
Manbao rubbed his ears and said, "I didn't hear clearly."
Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang nodded together, "That's right, I didn't hear it clearly."
The leading boy blushed and shouted angrily, "Beautiful kite, beautiful kite... Is this okay?"
"That's more like it," Bai Shanbao said after taking Bai Erlang's kite and examining it carefully. "It clearly looks like a giant insect. Why do you say it's ugly?"
"How is it similar? Shouldn't the big insect be a tiger?"
Bai Shanbao: "Mine is the tiger, this big bug is a caterpillar."
"A caterpillar kite isn't like this either," the boy said, and suddenly pointed to a kite in the sky and said, "That one, see? That's a caterpillar kite."
The three of them looked up at the same time. Manbao was the first to express his disdain. "Come on, how can a caterpillar's mouth be red? It's only a little red, and it looks so beautiful."
"That's right, that's right, the caterpillar's mouth is clearly black," Bai Jilang said with certainty, "I've caught so many caterpillars, I know it best."
"And the insect's body is surprisingly bright. I already thought it was excessive when Bai Er dyed the green insect's body yellow, but this caterpillar kite is even more excessive."
The teenagers were all stunned. "Who said caterpillar kites have to be made like real caterpillars? And yours doesn't look real at all. Aren't you painting it all in all sorts of colors?"
"I'm a caterpillar that just rolled out of the flowers, so I'm stained with some other colors."
The leading teenager was amused by this and asked, "Why on earth are we talking to you about this useless nonsense?"
Manbao and the other two looked at him like he was an idiot, "Who knows you?"
Good night, see you tomorrow
I'm asking for leave. Today's noon update will be postponed to 2 pm. I'm still outside now.
