Section 28 The arrogant water ghost loses badly

Under the auspices of the little prince, the water ghost competition in Jiangzhou is about to start, the Jiangzhou wharf is crowded, all kinds of businesses are doing well, and the special commodities from all over the country are dazzling, and people are dazzled.

Merchants from all over the world are hoping to sell their own goods, new goods that are urgently needed and sold well in the market. Crowded people are happy to buy, not only can they buy special goods from all over the world, but they are also relatively cheap.

In particular, the local snacks not only make the children satisfied, but the adults are not stingy with money, nor do they want to deduct themselves, and are willing to spend money to comfort themselves. Everyone knows that in Jiangzhou, you can travel all over the country, and there are not many opportunities to eat all over the country, and everyone cherishes this rare opportunity very much.

The gongs and drums on the Sima Wharf were noisy, and the selected water ghosts were all young people, and they appeared on the wharf in red clothes and pants, which was eye-catching.

And the water ghosts and everyone were looking around, the secret weapon of the boss of Sima Gate, looking for it, people were a little disappointed, in the gap between the many painting boats and sailboats, they found a small wooden bucket like a small thing with a small appearance across the water, and a long red silk cloth on top of the barrel.

People were spreading this discovery, and they were all disappointed, and for a while, the talk that the boss of Sima Men would lose was rampant, and no one would doubt this result.

The older ones in the crowd, or the merchants who had stayed at the Simamen Wharf Hotel in this place on business, all looked at the hotel with regret, and sighed in their hearts, it was a pity that they were going to change hands after a bet!

There are also a few people who are particularly familiar with and know the boss of Sima Men, and they have to doubt the results of the game, and their reasons for suspicion are two: First, although the boss of Sima Men is generous, lives an atmospheric life, and does not care, he will not do ridiculous things, and he will not easily give away the results of his hard work for many years. No fool will be a fool, let alone a shrewd and capable person! The second is that the boss of Sima Gate has never been addicted to gambling, and this exception must have its own reason, and it will definitely not be done blindly.

But is anyone listening to the reason for this suspicion? No, if you are sure that you will be a winner, you will be so low-key that you will hide like a turtle with a shrunken head, and you will already show off to others!

Some people understand the mood of the boss of Sima Gate, losing is a loss, why bother with others. Maybe you're in tears, packing your bags and getting ready to leave! He must have regretted it, regretted that he was confused for a while, alas, everything was too late, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he saw that even the opportunity to buy regret medicine with all his family property was lost, and he must have the heart to commit suicide by jumping off the building!

When the gongs and drums of the opening race were beaten for the last time, countless water ghosts and their families were on the dock. are singing the popular boatman's horn in Jiangzhou, and the momentum is unprecedented. And those who are about to participate in the competition are even more energetic and eager to try. Showing the crowd the laughter of the victors.

And the boss of Sima Gate did not show weakness, he led a group of young men and women dressed in red and green, singing and dancing out of the hotel and through the crowd. Come to the dock and greet the crew led by Danqing Caizi and the humble ship.

The boat was towed to the dock by the crew on a rope, and only the back of the boat could be seen. How deep the draft is is not clear at all.

Surrounded by the local garrison of the imperial court and his retinue, the little prince came to the docks, he stood on the flywheel and announced with a loudspeaker that the race was about to begin, and for the sake of fairness, the game was divided into two periods, against the current and downstream, and the first to go upstream, and the first to come wins.

Subsequently, Xiao Budian and Xiao Shimei pulled up a long strip of big red cloth, ten knots were tied on the big red cloth, and the ten beauties of Sima Men held a bright copper plate with scissors on the plate. And there was an official standing next to each red cloth knot, and the little prince and a woman stood in the middle of the ribbon-cutting officials.

People are talking, and many people are feeling sorry for the prince, it is really a pity that such a capable person actually married a wife who is not particularly beautiful.

But there were also people in the crowd who saw the woman at the welcome ceremony, and remembered that when she was introduced, she said that this woman was not the daughter-in-law of the little prince, but the first female official of the imperial court, and she was a female official who benefited everyone and brought wealth to everyone.

These words came and went, and everyone had more admiration for the female official, and someone in the crowd actually took the lead in calling the female official and the prince, which led everyone, and formed a rhythmic shout, reversing the order of the prince and the female official, causing the female official to be flustered, and the red cloth strips were cut for half a day.

The female official finally cut the red cloth strip with the help of the beautiful women around her, she put down the scissors and bowed to the prince vigorously, saying something that was not clear.

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and the game began, and in the cheers of everyone, the water ghosts jumped into the water one after another, desperately going upstream, but the boat with red silk cloth on the back of Sima Men's boat saw a few wisps of green smoke, and suddenly made a few roars, and there seemed to be no whirlpool on the water, so there was no movement.

The speed of the water ghost is also surprisingly slow, sometimes when encountering a huge wave, the water ghost will also beat the water ghost back, the seniors, juniors and their families can not help but feel a pity, but looking at the boat of Sima Gate without movement, they feel infinitely relieved, and many people point to Sima Gate's boat and begin to depreciate it, especially those old water ghosts, they hold a long cigarette stick, specifically to find the boss of Sima Gate to say hello, the mouth does not say that the loss is fixed, but the meaning is comforting, winning or losing is a common thing in life, do not need to be overly careful.

And the boss of Sima Men naturally knew it, but he didn't want to leak the heavenly opportunity too early, just smiled and said, winning or losing is unpredictable, it seems that only the roll is covered and left, but it's a pity, and he lamented repeatedly.

With the speed of the water ghosts in the water, everyone ran desperately upstream on the shore, and the sound of cheering was endless, and the naked swimming skills of the water ghosts were also praised by the river.

The water ghosts struggled to move forward, and some of the strong and water-strong people on the shore went down to the river to swim with the water ghosts in order to cheer them up.

This kind of encouragement was actually formed in the case of no one deliberately organizing, and the well-meaning encouragers could not swim, and naturally there were people to take over, sometimes one ashore and two or three down.

After a long time, the disappointment of the people along the river spread, the water ghosts are destined to be the winners, Sima Men is too disagreeable, he loses not happily, he is not ashamed to compete, what does it matter if he says it, it is true!

The enthusiasm of the people was very high, and the overwhelming momentum was on the side of the water ghosts, and seeing that a small wharf six miles away from the prescribed six miles was about to arrive, people found from a distance that many people had already gathered on the small wharf, and it was gradually clear that the preparations for welcoming the victors were thoughtful, and three tea tables were also set up.

As they got closer, the crowd began to be dissatisfied, and reprimanded those who greeted the victors for being too undeserved, too ignorant, why did they drink tea first, there were no rules, and the victors dared to take the lead before they enjoyed it!

It's close, it's close, hey, what's going on, it's actually Sima Men's people, those five big and three rough men, aren't they the people who maintain the autumn order of Sima Men, and the talented little brother who is known for Danqing.

In the tea house on the small wharf, those tired and panting water ghosts drooped their heads, looking depressed, so pitiful, the victory actually returned to Sima Men!

However, the water ghosts were not discouraged, and they were confident that they could take advantage of the trend and pull back a game.

When the Linshunliu competition was about to start, the enthusiastic onlookers and witnesses, who sympathized with the weak, took the top and asked Sima Men to show everyone the boat, what is the matter with the conspiracy!

Danqing walked to the dock, and wrapped the rope around the stone pier with another big man, and a boat like a dragon came to the surface, and the two ends of the boat were still pointed, and a long rudder was dragged behind it.

At the beginning of the downstream competition, the water ghosts could only watch Sima Men's strange toys suddenly pass by, and quickly ran into the distance, there was no way at all, some of the participating water ghosts simply went ashore, and the water ghosts who insisted on the water had no encouragement.

Everyone was amazed, the so-called underwater spaceship was still on the water when it set off, but when it overtook the water ghost, it dived underwater, and could only see the smoke pipes, people running, chasing, many people temporarily rented carriages to help their feet, and in the blink of an eye, even the shadow of the Sima Gate boat could not be found.
