I was watching the TV broadcast of Grand Sumo (professional sumo wrestlers held by the Japan Sumo Association.) in the guest room, and the picture was suddenly blurred. "What's up, what's up, what's wrong?" Lying on the bed, I had to get up and press the TV buttons randomly, but it didn't get better at all. At this time, Eriko, who had finished her bath, came back gracefully in her yukata, with her waist swaying slightly. "Oh, what's going on? Why is there no picture on the TV?" "I don't know either. Logically speaking, it's a satellite broadcast, so I shouldn't miss it. Damn, it's almost time for the final match between Takahanada and Musashimaro!"

"What, Xiaogui is about to come out? I hate it, come back to normal soon!" Keiko banged on the side of the TV. "Stupid, do you want to break the TV?" "The TV in my hometown can be filmed like this." "This is a luxury liner, don't compare it to the junk from your hometown—" "Ah, all right!" Eriko said. The screen did return to normal in an instant, but flickered again in the blink of an eye. "Hate!" Eriko started to slap the side of the TV again, and I simply joined in the fun. The picture was clear occasionally, but it was not much better.

"Damn it, what a rotten TV!" I can't help but click my tongue. "Xiaogui's match is about to begin!" "Let's go to the lobby and have a look." We quickly changed our clothes and walked out of the guest room. There are two men sitting in front of the TV in the hall, one is a small middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth, and he is well dressed, the other is thin, sitting right in front of the TV, staring at him with piercing eyes. screen.Eriko and I sat on the sofa a little far away, but the sight was just blocked by the thin man, so we couldn't see clearly.

"Hey, you are blocking us, please move away." I called out, but he didn't budge.I was about to complain again when the little man walked towards me and smiled treacherously. "It's useless for you to talk to him now, his mind is all on the game." "We're sumo fans too!" I protested. The little man still smiled and shook his head. "That man is no ordinary sumo fan. He is Japan's number one sumo doctor, Tokuyo Shonosuke." "What, he is the famous Tokuyo Shonosuke?" I widened my eyes. As far as everything related to sumo wrestling is concerned, Tokuyosuke Shonosuke knows everything. It is said that he is not only familiar with the information of ancient and modern sumo wrestlers, but also knows all the past games.

"What is that man talking about?" Hui Lizi asked. Indeed, Debiao kept mumbling to the screen. "Oh, that's because he's used to hunger." The little man said, "Mr. Tokubiao used to be the anchor of the TV station and was responsible for the live report of sumo matches, but he was fired because he was too addicted to sumo. Now he only needs When I see sumo wrestling, I still have words in my mouth, but I don’t realize it.” "awesome!" I looked at Debiao, not so much admiration for him, but a little trepidation in my heart.He didn't seem to hear our conversation at all, and kept murmuring to the screen.

The passenger ship we took departed from Japan and arrived in India after traveling around Southeast Asia.The equipment on the passenger ship is no less than that of a luxury hotel. There are not only high-end fashion shops and restaurants, but also casinos, gymnasiums and swimming pools.When you stop at the port halfway, you can also go sightseeing and enjoy local delicacies. It can be called an impeccable sea journey. My father passed away last month and I inherited the company.To celebrate my upcoming appointment as president, my girlfriend Eriko and I took this trip. In the evening, when Eriko and I were drinking in the bar, we met Debiao and the little man again.After introducing himself, I learned that his name is Tanimachi Ichiro, and he is the operator of a large travel agency.

"The owner of the travel agency and Sumo Tong, you two are really special." I looked at Tanimachi and Tokumote alternately and said. "Yeah. To be honest, I'm thinking of a new plan. Isn't there already a grand sumo tour overseas? My plan is to hold a sea tour and build a soil table (Sumo wrestlers) on this passenger ship venue) to complete a season of racing on a fifteen-day sailing journey." "This is amazing!" I couldn't help but widen my eyes. "I'm here for a preliminary inspection this time, and at the same time I invite Mr. Debiao to come together as a consultant."

"That's it." I looked at my German watch.Although he was mentioned in the conversation, he still didn't care, his eyes drifted diagonally downward. Eriko asked him, "I heard that you memorized all the games, is it true?" Debiao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he slowly looked at Huilizi. "You can ask whatever you want." Tanimachi interjected from the side. "Okay, then I would like to ask you..." Eriko pursed her lips and thought for a while, then asked: "Three years ago, the Nagoya tournament (there are six grand sumo tournaments held in Japan every year, three in Tokyo, and the other three in Osaka, Nagoya and Kyushu, each period lasts fifteen days.) On the tenth day, who is Chiyo no Teng's opponent, and what is the result of the match?"

Debiao closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then opened his eyes wide and blurted out: "The competition has finally begun! In the last match on the tenth day of the season, Chiyonoto's opponent is Kadozakura, a rising star among the young players! Kadozakura was able to push without grabbing Chiyo's belt and purely with the palm of his hand. To win? Chiyo no Fuji seems to be ready to grab Kakuzakura's front belt as soon as possible! Now both sides squat down at the same time, and the referee announces that it's time to start! The two stand up straight! Kadozakura puts out a full palm push! Chiyo pushes hard Grabbing Kakuzakura's arm, Kakuzakura continued to push hard! Chiyo approached and grabbed Kakuzakura's belt! Kakuzakura dodged with her hind legs! Chiyo pushed forward, Kakozakura held on! Chiyo pushed forward! Go forward again Push! Kakuzakura was forced out of the field!" Tokuyo finished speaking breathlessly, and finally added calmly, "Chiyonoto pushed Kakakuzakura beautifully and won the game."

Eriko and I were dumbfounded, and Debiao returned to his original listless look. The little Tanimachi burst out laughing. "All Mr. Bidwatches are broadcast live and recorded in my mind, so I can only describe them in the same form when recalling." "It's like listening to the radio." "That's right, his nickname is Radio Man." "real or fake!" Eriko and I cried out in shock at the same time. That night, we were embracing each other on the double bed when suddenly the alarm bell went off, followed by a bulletin announcing a fire on board.We rolled out of bed naked.

"Put on your clothes quickly, or the ship will sink if you don't escape!" "I don't want to die!" Hui Lizi said with a sad face. We rushed out of the guest room with our valuables, and the corridors were filled with panicked passengers, and we were quickly sucked into the crowd, bewildered and at a loss as to what to do. When we came back to our senses, we had boarded a lifeboat and drifted with the waves.There are still many lifeboats floating around. It was our luxury passenger ship in Anle Township just now, and now it has slowly sank into the dark sea amidst the flames soaring into the sky. I don't know how long it took, our lifeboat finally drifted to a small island, which seemed to be an uninhabited island. "Everyone just wait here for rescue." The engineer of the passenger ship said to a dozen passengers, "The rescue team should be rushing over." "But they may not be able to find us right away." It was Tanimachi who spoke, and it turned out that he was in the same lifeboat as us.Looking beside him, Debiao is also there. "As long as the rescue team arrives nearby, they can use the pocket radio to get in touch with them. Even if it takes a while to find this place, it will take three or four days at most. We have enough emergency food, so don't worry." Perhaps to encourage everyone, the tone of the engineer was very optimistic. Emergency food was then distributed.It is said to be "very sufficient", but in fact there are only drinking water and compressed biscuits.How many days can I last with this food?Uneasy, but whining is useless, we can only rely on these food and wait for rescue. It was also hard to wait every day with boredom. We had no radio to listen to or books to read.I managed to get through the first day, but on the second day, everyone became irritable, and some even blatantly teased Eriko, which made me restless. On the third morning, I woke up to find everyone gathered together.Walking over to see, they were surrounding Tokuyosuke Shonosuke. "Next, the level of sumo wrestlers from low to high will be divided into Xuzhiguchi, Xudan, Sandan, Makushita, Juryo, Qiantou, Xiaojie, Sekiwaki, Ozeki and Henggang. Shiliang The above levels are collectively referred to as Makuuchi, which belongs to the upper class of wrestlers.) Taipeng vs. Kitanoto. The two sides stare at each other and assume a squat (one of the basic postures of wrestlers, with the soles of the feet on the ground, knees spread out, and shoulders relaxed Then put your hands on your knees. In order to achieve balance, the upper body must be straight to maintain the center of gravity. This is to show respect for the opponent.) Posture, the referee for this game is Takemori Inosuke. Okay, the two stood up straight! Kita Zhiteng pushed out his palms, and then inserted them into Taipeng's armpit! Taipeng failed to get the upper hand (meaning grasping the belt from the outside of the opponent's arm, and the corresponding "lower hand" refers to inserting the opponent's armpit.)! Bei Zhiteng from the right Throwing the arm sideways and pressing back! Tai Peng dodges sideways... Now Tai Peng has got the upper hand, but unfortunately he only grabbed the outer layer of the belt. Bei Zhi Teng put his head against Tai Peng!" "Who is he talking about?" Eriko asked me, "What about Tai Peng and Bei Zhi Teng? I've never heard of it." "Both of them were sumo wrestlers 20 years ago. It seems that he really reproduced the live broadcast at that time." Debiao continued spitting. "It looks like this will be a protracted battle! In order to prevent Taipeng from getting his arms in, Beizhideng adopted a half-side position. Taipeng got the upper hand, but Beizhideng tried his best to bend his body backwards, and Taipeng's hand grasped the belt Being pulled to the limit, it is difficult to exert strength! Oh, Kita no Teng suddenly stepped forward and pushed it over in one breath! Tai Peng held on desperately, while holding Kita no Teng's belt with both hands! Kita no Teng continued to push, ah Tai Peng was lifted up! He was lifted up! He was lifted up! Tai Peng threw the northern vine on his back! Both of them fell out of the ground at the same time! The side the fan points to is the winner.) Point to Tai Peng, point to Tai Peng! Is there any controversy? No! Tai Peng turned the defeat with a backside fall!" The audience burst into amazement, and immediately burst into applause. "Now play the results of today's match. Let's start with the makuuchi wrestler match. Shiraheishan vs. Saran. Saran won by overwhelming Baiheishan with his weight! Tiebanshan vs. Guchuan, Guchuan kicked and pulled his arm side Wrestling wins! Rocky Mountain vs. Yamamoto-san..." Just as Tokubiao was reporting the results of the race, Tanimachi suddenly appeared. "Everyone, in thirty minutes we will continue to broadcast the next day's game. From the next game on, please pay me a cookie for the listening fee." "What—" the surrounding audience hissed. "How can there be such a reason!" "That's it!" "On this kind of deserted island where birds don't lay eggs, you can still hear wonderful sumo broadcasts that are not inferior to the radio at all. A little listening fee is nothing, right?" Tanimachi laughed. After everyone dispersed, I accosted Tanimachi. "Thank you for coming up with such a brilliant idea." Tanimachi poked his forehead. "People have to use their brains at any time. I don't know how long I will stay here in the future. I don't know how to make food with my mobile phone." "Well, why broadcast such an old game?" "If the most recent match is broadcast, anyone who is a little bit interested in sumo may still remember the result of the match. But if it is more than 20 years ago, basically no one will remember it. Hey, lady, please Don't chat with him casually." Tanimachi warns Eriko. "I have already signed a contract with Mr. Debiao, and I can't listen to the broadcast for free." "Tch, cheapskate!" Hui Lizi's face darkened. "If you are interested in listening, please come back in thirty minutes with your food. I will reserve the VIP seats for the two of you." Tanimachi rubbed his hands and said. On the fifth day of drifting to the uninhabited island, I finally got in touch with the rescue team through wireless communication.However, due to high winds and rough seas at sea, they had to wait for a while before they could be rescued. In the past, we would have been anxious, but fortunately we now have the great savior of Debiao. Listening to the live broadcast of German watches is exactly the same as listening to the radio.He didn't ask you to press the live game in memory, it was like pressing the antenna on his body, and after capturing the live broadcast, he directly relayed it from the radio speaker. A grand sumo match lasts 15 days. Tokubiao usually spends 30 minutes broadcasting a day's events, and starts broadcasting again after a 30-minute break.According to this progress, one competition can be completed in fourteen and a half hours.This "uninhabited island contest" can be said to be our only entertainment. "Okay, Iwagake got the upper hand! He wanted to throw Kita no Teng with all his strength, but Kita no Teng held on with all his might." "On the rock! Throw him off!" "Hold on! Kita no Fuji!" I heard a lot of live broadcasts by Debiao, and everyone had the illusion that they were listening to the radio. They also had their own supporters, and some people cheered for him during his broadcast, and there was no sense of incongruity at all. "North Fuji also took the fight! The two sides started a fierce mutual throw! Ah, the knee of the rock hit the ground! The hand pull and the waist throw! Kitano Fuji won with a hand pull and the waist throw!" "Great!" "hateful!" Some of the audience were louder, and some were downcast, as if they were listening to a live broadcast on the radio. I was fascinated by it when someone next to me stabbed me in the waist. I turned around and saw that it was the engineer of the passenger ship.He grinned at me. "How about I bet you two biscuits on the next game? I bet on Muscle Mountain." I, who love gambling, agreed. "Okay, then I'll bet on Roudanchuan to win." The game started immediately, and Roudanchuan was thrown out of the field by Jinroushan and lost. "Bah, what the hell!" I had to hand over two biscuits to the engineer. It didn't take long to bet everywhere, and Hui Lizi and I also made a few bets, but our intuition was not working, and the food in our hands became less and less, and soon the two of us added up to only half a day. "What should we do! Wouldn't we starve to death?" "I know, but luck is so bad, I can't help it." On the sixth day of drifting to the uninhabited island, the atmosphere of the "Uninhabited Island Contest" was unprecedentedly hot, because today is the last day of the season. In the first five days, Henggang Taipeng won all, while the other Henggang Bonu lost one. If Bo Nu wins the final game, the records of the two will be evenly divided, and an additional championship battle must be played. In the eyes of everyone, the game kicked off. "Tai Peng and Bo Nu put their arms in each other's arms, and both sides lowered their stances! Ah! Tai Peng took a step forward, and Bo Nu flicked to the right, and then pushed back! Push, push, push again! Tai Peng used the pull belt from the left side and fell over his waist, but Bo Nu did not move! Tai Peng lost his balance and was pushed out of the ground! Squeeze, crush, crush! Bo Nu won by crushing! " Half the audience sighed, and the other half beamed with joy.At this point Tanimachi flashed out from the crowd and announced that the championship match would be in twenty minutes. The final has not yet started, and everyone has already started betting early. "I'll bet on Tai Peng with five biscuits." "I also bet on Tai Peng to win, and press two biscuits." "I bet three biscuits on Park Nurse." "Just watch this one! I'll bet on Bo Nu with four biscuits." The odds are three to one, and Tai Peng is more favored.I decided to put all my eggs in one basket. "Okay, I'll bet all the food on Bo Nu to win!" "Wow!" Hearing such a gamble, everyone was amazed. "What are you thinking? What if you lose?" Eriko was about to cry. "Don't worry, I have my own plan." I took Hui Lizi into the woods.After waiting for a while, Tanimachi came over.I know he urinates here all the time. When Eriko and I appeared in front of him, he was startled. "I want to ask you something," I said, "Let Bo Nu win the next game!" Tanimachi smiled. "I can't help it. Mr. Debiao will only faithfully broadcast the memory stored in his mind." "So I would like to ask you to help me out. As long as you nod your head, all our company's employee travel will be reported to you in the future." "Hmm..." Tanimachi immediately changed into a businessman's face and calculated carefully, "Do your employees travel overseas?" "Of course." I said seriously. "But what if Tai Peng wins... I wonder if he has a way to lie about the battle situation." "You tell him that as long as Bo Nu wins, I will give him a year's worth of grand sumo tickets." "Oh, that might impress him. But you must keep it a secret." "Ok, I know." We randomly go back to where we were and wait.After a while, both Tanimachi and Tokuyo died.Debiao's complexion doesn't look very good, I guess Tanimachi has already told him. Under the eager attention of everyone, the radio male watch began to broadcast. "The championship battle is finally here! Henggang Taipeng played from the east, and Bo Nu, who is also Henggang, came from the west shopping mall. The audience cheered thunderously!" "Please, Tai Peng! You must win!" "Bai Nu, charge!" "The two sides stared at each other, and there was applause in the arena. Well, it's time for the game! Both sides sprinkled salt (before the sumo match, wrestlers will grab the net salt and sprinkle it on the soil surface to make the field clean, so as not to cause skin abrasions and infection, And offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, praying for safety.), Tai Peng slowly assumed a preparatory posture, and Bo Nu had already squatted down. Now the two sides reached out to touch the ground, adjusted their breathing... straightened up! The two collided with each other with amazing momentum, Intense mutual blogging!" "Go, Tai Peng!" "Push him out, Bo Nu!" "Both of them failed to get the upper hand. Bo Nu gradually lowered his posture, and Tai Peng kept Bo Nu's right arm... Oh! He actually wanted to throw his arms sideways at this moment! Bo Nu held on! And turned around From defense to offense! Tai Peng started to retreat!" "Great, that's it!" I couldn't help shouting and cheering. "Bo Nu kept pushing forward, but Tai Peng got the upper hand! Bo Nu pushed forward with all his strength! Ah! Backed up! The two sides returned to the center of the soil surface again. Tai Peng really has extraordinary perseverance!" Amidst the sighs, some people clapped their hands and applauded, while others cursed, and I stamped my feet anxiously. "Bo Nu also got the upper hand! Now the two sides put their arms around each other and push with all their strength! Ah, Tai Peng tried to lift Bo Nu! Overwhelmed! Tai Peng remained unmoved and continued to push forward! Bai Nu stabilized his footsteps and threw Tai Peng to the side at the same time, ah! Both sides made throws—" Speaking of this, Debiao suddenly opened his mouth and stopped moving, followed by sticky sweat on his forehead. "Hey, what's the matter with you?" "What's going on, who won?" Everyone started to commotion, but Debiao kept his jaw trembling and couldn't speak. "Oops!" Tanimachi leaned close to me and whispered, "It seems that Tai Peng won, no matter what he couldn't make up a lie, he was caught in a dilemma..." "Hey! You are talking!" "What's wrong?" Everyone rushed forward to ask questions. At this time, I don't know who said: "It's not broken, is it?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone began to bang on Debiao's head, shouting over and over again: "The radio is broken! The radio is broken!"
