It's a tradition for every CSB/SJU group that comes to Southwest University to throw a Halloween party. Of course, my group was no exception. Even though we had mid-term papers due the day after Posted by sarita-maria in Panda Adventures | Nov 2, 2011

- 雲式鬥牛放工回家路上
一堆人馬牛車就這樣突兀的湧現在寂靜的田野間
去瞧瞧熱鬧唄
是趕集嗎?
我問尹師傅說
他搖搖頭
停好車 兩個小娃兒站在一張手抄告示牌邊
鬥牛規定
1. 斗牛一定在圈内
2. 人不能进入圈内
3. 在斗牛打斗输赢时踩着人不责
4. 不管谁人违反我们斗牛规定,处罚50-100元
圈內一堆人興致高昂的圍著兩隻慢條斯理的耕牛
那牛一會互頂兩下
一會又互相舔理毛皮
急煞了周遭賭客
不住暄鬧的詛咒叫罵
裁判上去鞭兩下
牛哥們才勉強又互頂兩下
圈子遠方帳篷就是賭 Posted by ynxk in YNXK 雲客 | Oct 30, 2011
