Fan Qing stood at the front of the crowd, pretending to glance casually at the racing boat, once, twice, the eyes of the two finally met, once they were glued, they could no longer be separated.
Wang Yuchen looked at her, a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, Fan Qing snorted, and turned her eyes away, but the indifference she pretended didn't last long, and the smile in the corner of her eyes revealed the sweetness in her heart.
Wang Yuchen saw it in her eyes, and Jiang Xixi also saw it in her eyes, her heart sank suddenly, and she became sad for Yu Wuxi.
"Sister, there is food for sale over there, I'll go buy some and come back, you wait for me here, don't walk around, don't let others snatch the bench away."
Fan Yin said and jumped off the bench.
"The boat race is about to start, are you still going?"
"It's not so fast, it won't start until the end of the day."
As he spoke, Fan Yin had already squeezed into the bustling crowd.
Jiang Xixi looked up the river and found that the crewmen had also disembarked from the boat and walked to the tent next to them to rest.
Just wanted to turn his gaze away, but saw Wang Yuchen get out of the tent, and walked towards the woods next to him alone, and his sturdy figure quickly disappeared under the cover of the dense forest.
The tournament is about to start, where is he going?
People have three urgencies, Jiang Xixi can only think of one answer in her mind, she shrugged, turned her gaze to the white light of the river again, and conjured up another scene in her mind: If Xun'er is here, she will definitely cheer happily, and the adults will be like those men who are fathers, holding him on their shoulders, and their clothes will definitely be stained with the snacks that leaked from Xun'er's mouth.
Thinking about it, she laughed unconsciously, and a little sentimentality rose in her heart: unconsciously, she has been living in Shu for ten days, is that half-year appointment true, or is it used by adults to comfort herself.
"What are you smirking at alone?"
A plate of white fruit was handed to her, and Fan Yin climbed on the stool, "Taste it quickly, it's the best when it's hot, and it's not so soft and glutinous when it's cold." ” "What is this?"
Jiang Xixi took a bite, and the sweetness of the osmanthus immediately overflowed his mouth, "It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and chewy." ” "This is a cocoon round, only eaten in the silkworm moon, every year, the people in the town will pestle glutinous rice, make cocoon rounds, used to worship the silkworm god, however, the silkworm god loves to eat I don't know, I am the most gluttonous."
As she spoke, she put a cocoon into her mouth, and her cheeks were suddenly bulging, which was very cute.
Jiang Xixi also followed Fan Yin's example, stuffed a cocoon into her mouth, and the trace of sentimentality in her heart was dispelled, at least in Shudi, she still had Fan Yin's friend, and the loneliness of living in a foreign country was also reduced a lot because of her existence.
The sound of cheering sounded from all directions, Fan Yin put down the plate, and excitedly pulled Jiang Xixi's sleeve, "It's about to start, last year Wang Yuchen was not there, and Tamsui Town missed the championship by half a hull, this year, we will definitely be able to win it back." ” She was so excited that Jiang Xixi became nervous, she made her hands into a pergola and looked at the river, and saw that the five racing boats were ready to go, and the riders were lined up, sitting in the narrow cabin, each holding two long oars in their hands.
Wang Yuchen sat in the bow of the boat, he had already taken off his waistcoat, revealing his tanned brown skin, he didn't look nervous, as if he was determined to win the championship, a pair of heroic eyes swept over the crowd on the shore, and finally met Fan Qing's gaze on the river.
"Sail the boat."
With a shout, five racing boats of different colors rushed out of the shore at the same time, falling like flying swords.
For a while, there was a turbulent wave on the water, and the water marks behind the boat race could not be healed for a long time.
There seems to be a storm on the shore, cheering and shouting one after another, dozens of big drums on the shore have already been set up, and the drummers are desperately dancing the drumsticks, and the drums are shaking the sky to cheer for the boat.
Wang Yuchen shouted loudly, commanding the riders to maintain a steady rhythm, boat racing is a very physically demanding thing, if you rush too hard at the beginning, you are likely to run out of strength later, unable to maintain the lead.
He has a lot of experience in that, after all, he has already raced five times and is the best rider in town.
"Left, right, left, right, be steady, don't go too fast, they can't overtake, don't be anxious."
Wang Yuchen reminded his teammates while exerting his strength that he was complacent today, because he knew that everyone's eyes were on him, and the girls were attracted by his sturdy figure and calm demeanor, which was secondary, Fan Qing also came, she waited by the river early in the morning, standing at the front of the crowd, just to cheer for herself.
The cold war between the two that had lasted for so long was finally over, and the most beautiful and proud girl in the town was willing to lower her body for him, how could this not make him full of pride.
He was about to reach the finish line, the drums were getting faster and faster, and the red flag was waving at him not far away, Wang Yuchen yelled, asking the riders to speed up the frequency of paddling, and he himself waved a pair of long arms and rowed towards the finish line.
The boats behind tried to overtake the past several times, but they had exhausted their strength, and after several attempts, they finally lost the battle and were left far behind by the white boats.
Seeing those boats getting farther and farther away from him, Wang Yuchen couldn't help laughing, he could even imagine Fan Qing standing on the shore and couldn't help but be happy, she must be proud and regretful, regretting that she gave herself a slap that day, but it doesn't matter, after going ashore, he will tell her that the slap was right, he has already figured it out, from now on, he has to support himself and marry her into the door, she doesn't have to accompany the cripple for herself, tonight will let her and that Yu Wuxian make a complete break.
"Come on, brothers, the end is here."
Wang Yuchen thrust the oars into the water hard, and as soon as the oars touched the water, the hull of the boat suddenly tilted, and the radials were unstable by the sudden tilt, and they stopped paddling and grabbed the side of the boat.
There were a dozen more holes in the bottom of the boat, the size of a fist, and the river was pouring up from the holes, and in a few moments the cabin was half a foot of water.
"What's going on?
How did the bottom of the ship break?
” The radials panicked and stared at the holes that looked like springs, not knowing what to do.
The hull of the boat had begun to sink slowly because of the influx of the river, and the radials lost their oars one by one, clinging to the side of the boat, not knowing whether to stay in the boat or jump off.
Wang Yuchen also encountered this situation for the first time, but fortunately, he was experienced, and hurriedly shouted, "Take off your clothes and plug the hole." ” But before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden "creaking" sound under his feet, and he watched as the plank under his feet recessed in, cracking a large hole more than three feet long.
