Chapter 28 Dragon Boat Race
"Fengzi, get up, get up. ”
Dad Li Haichun's shout came up from downstairs.
Li Feng looked at the time sleepily, it was only half past seven in the morning, he almost collapsed, and couldn't help shouting: "Dad, this early in the morning, what are you calling me for, I'm sleeping." ”
Last night he was in charge of watching the lobster shop, and he stayed up until three o'clock before going home to sleep, and he didn't sleep for a few hours in total, which would be sleepy to death.
Just when Li Feng was lying on the bed and was reluctant to get up, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
"Fengzi, hurry up. Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I can't sleep lazy. ”
Dragon Boat Festival today?
Li Feng jumped up from the bed, picked up the calendar on the desk and glanced at it, today, June 19th, isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival.
In the land of China, every year and festival, every family will prepare a much richer meal than usual to celebrate the festival. In Jiangyang Province, there is a saying that "the Dragon Boat Festival is early, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is late".
No wonder it was so early today, and his father Li Haichun came to wake him up.
At this point in the past, it was usually my mother Zhang Yanqing who made breakfast at home, while my father worked in the fields. I'm afraid I'm going to have a Dragon Boat Festival dinner today, so my dad is in charge.
Similar to the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Feng has not been at home since he was in college, and now that he has the opportunity to experience it again when he is reborn, he naturally will not miss it, he got dressed and rushed downstairs to wash.
Father Li Haichun lit a string of firecrackers in front of his home, and in the roaring sound of firecrackers, the family dinner began.
The breakfast was really hearty, full of dishes, big elbows, braised fish, fried hairy belly...... The grandfather who lived in the uncle's house next door was also invited by his father, and the family was happy.
As soon as he finished breakfast, Xiong Dajun ran over excitedly and shouted, "Fengzi, let's go watch the dragon boat race." ”
Yunshan City has a very lively Dragon Boat Festival tradition, that is, dragon boat racing, which is held every year, and this year is no exception. Hundreds of dragon boat teams from various institutions and institutions in the city will be a female in the Jinhe River that passes through the city.
It can be said that this dragon boat race is the biggest celebration in Yunshan City every year.
Li Feng happily agreed, he hadn't seen it for many years, and he missed it tightly.
Just when Li Feng and Xiong Dajun got on their bicycles and were about to set off, their mother Zhang Yanqing called out to them: "Fengzi, Dajun, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, you must eat zongzi." ”
As she spoke, she took out two very beautiful large rice dumplings, and one of them was given.
Li Feng's face fell, and he said pitifully: "But Mom, I ate a lot of dishes just now, this will be all supported, can I come back in the afternoon to eat." ”
Mother Zhang Yanqing glared at him and said, "Then take it with you to eat on the road." This is your mother and I worked hard to wrap, and it is still your favorite fresh meat dumplings. ”
Li Feng could only grimace and replied, "Okay!"
It is worthy of the festival, the two came to the city, and before they reached the edge of the Jinhe River, they had already seen the street, full of people, people and cars, and the river was endless.
And the closer they got to Geumha, the greater the flow of people, and in the end, the two of them couldn't ride at all, so they could only find a remote roadside, lock their bicycles, squeeze in the crowd, and follow the flow of people towards the river.
When I arrived at the edge of the Jin River, I found that every corner where I could see the surface of the river, on both sides of the river, on the old and new stone bridges, and on some high-rise buildings near the river, were full of people.
Looking from afar, I can only see one after another, black and oppressive heads, and a sea of people.
Li Feng and Xiong Dajun gave full play to the advantage of their physical strength, squeezed through the crowd, came to the riverside, and grabbed a good viewing position.
Flags were already displayed on both sides of the Geumhe River, and dozens of extraordinarily large hydrogen balloons were raised with propaganda slogans, and the festive atmosphere was overflowing at once.
On the wide river, the biggest feature, the pontoon bridge, was removed, leaving only the middle section, which served as the rostrum of the dragon boat race.
Hundreds of dragon boats of different colors have been prepared and lined up in a row, connecting the entire river, which is particularly spectacular.
Geumhe is only more than 100 meters wide and less than 200 meters wide, so it is naturally impossible for more than 100 dragon boat teams to participate in the competition at the same time, so they are divided into five groups and compete separately, and the top three teams in each group will participate in the final round.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the 07 Yunshan City Dragon Boat Race officially began.
With the deafening sound of drums, the first group of dozens of dragon boat teams rushed out like arrows from the string.
Li Feng and Xiong Dajun found the Yunshan Middle School team among these dragon boat teams, and immediately cheered them on excitedly.
"Cloud Squadron, come on, Cloud Squadron, come on!"
More than 100 dragon boat teams, from various units, they are distributed, and almost every person in Yunshan City can be related, so they naturally have their own support teams.
For a time, on both sides of the Jin River, all kinds of cheering and cheering shouts came and went, and it was not lively.
Approaching twelve o'clock at noon, the annual dragon boat race in Yunshan City came to an end.
It's a pity that the Yunshan Middle School team supported by Li Feng only won the top three in the group in the preliminary round, and although they entered the finals, they did not achieve the ranking in the end, which made both of them disappointed.
The dragon boat race ended, and the people watching the race on both sides of the river began to disperse one after another.
Just as Li Feng and Xiong Dajun were about to leave, they suddenly heard a shout from the crowd: "Oh no, someone has fallen into the water." ”
Li Feng hurriedly turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a figure struggling on the surface of the river.
Because of the heavy rain last night, the river is very turbulent today, and the situation is very dangerous to see the girl who fell into the water being quickly washed downstream.
However, at this time, because the dragon boat has ended, the rescue team on the river has also left.
At this time, although there were many onlookers on the bank of the river, they all cowered, and none of them dared to go into the water to save people.
Only then did Li Feng remember that in his previous life, on the dragon boat race in 07, didn't he hear that a person was drowned because he fell into the water? Moreover, the deceased was a female college student at Qinghua University, who originally came to Yunshan City to watch the dragon boat race.
This news caused heated discussions in Yunshan City at that time.
It would be a pity for a young girl in the flower season to die like this.
Li Feng's mind flashed such a thought, and without saying a word, he jumped over the stands with a leap, and then a fierce man plunged into the turbulent river and swam quickly in the direction of the girl who fell into the water.
Li Feng's sudden action frightened the bear army on the side. He also wanted to go into the water to help, but unfortunately, he couldn't swim!
For a while, the Xiong army was in a hurry on the side, looking for something that could help.
