And Yuan Ning quickly remembered what Su Heting said before, and thought that although Su Heting had never revealed his identity, he had not deliberately concealed anything, so he couldn't find fault at all.

After a moment of contemplation, she was relieved.

After Su Heting was in place, the drums sounded, the scene fell silent instantly, and someone on the high platform passed the word, letting the dragon boat team take their places.

In an instant, twenty dragon boat teams were neatly arranged at the starting point. At the right time, Su Heting personally waved the red flag, the gong sounded, and the twenty dragon boats flew out like arrows.

Racers dressed in various colors and with one arm bared vigorously rowing their dragon boats. The drums on both sides of the strait were thunderous, and the cheers and cheers were endless.

There were many young girls covering their faces with their hands, but they peeked through their hands at the sturdy men, and their pretty faces were crimson and whispered to their companions.

This kind of competitive event is very interesting and very intense, and Yuan Ning, like everyone else, is engrossed in watching the game.

Each of the 20 dragon boats has a different painting on it, and each boat has a colorful flag in a different color on the bow of the boat, and the name of its own team is embroidered on it.

There were twenty young men on each dragon boat, all of them with muscles and sweat, and their faces were covered with water droplets because of the tanned face of long-term training, and I don't know whether it was sweat or lake water.

The ribbons on his forehead were also wet.

The people on both sides of the strait almost shouted out their voices, almost overshadowing the drums, and let people truly understand what it means to be "thunderous with joy."

The children of Bo Zhong who watched such an event for the first time were also extremely excited, Ji Xiu was the shortest, and he was carried on the shoulders by Xiao Wang, the guy in the shop, and kept clapping his little hands and screaming with a smile.

Seeing the excitement, the people who were originally sitting stood up, and Shu Yu couldn't see it, and stood on the bench with a roar.

Seeing this, Bo Zhong hurriedly advised: "Be careful not to fall!" ”

How can Shu Yu still hear it? Attention was drawn to the dragon boats on the lake.

Bo Zhong had no choice but to stand up with him, reaching out and grabbing its arm.

Zhong Ling had been standing quietly with Yuan Ning, she was much shorter, and she couldn't see anything, Yuan Ning's employment made her step on the bench and hold her shoulders.

Everyone didn't care about talking, because the competition was too fierce, and the dragon boat that originally started was quickly overtaken by others at the bow of a boat, but soon they overtook it, and the same was true for other dragon boats, and there was even a situation where they went hand in hand.

The drums beat like a torrential rain.

The spectators watching the game couldn't help but squeeze to the front, but the officers and soldiers who were busy maintaining order were so busy that they didn't even bother to watch the game.

With a crisp gong sound, the first dragon boat reached the finish line, followed by the second and third......

The top three winning dragon boat teams were led to the stands.

Su Heting had already stood up with a smile, said some words of encouragement to these young men who were still panting, and then awarded them prizes.

The first place winner will receive a reward of 50 taels of silver, the second place is 30 taels, the third place is 10 taels, and the rest of the participants will have a gift of 5 taels of silver, and there are a number of other prizes.

Anyway, as long as you participate, you don't lose money.

Bo Zhong just pulled out of that nervous and exciting feeling, patted his chest, and asked with a little curiosity: "Eldest sister, you say, what is the point of holding such an event?" ”

"Meaning," Yuan Ning thought for a moment and said, "First, this is a custom that has the significance of inheriting culture, and second, the Su County Order probably wants to encourage healthy competition. ”

Bo Zhong shook his head, "I don't understand." ”

"Do you think, even if the government doesn't organize such activities, won't the people race dragon boats?" Yuan Ning is kind and inducing.

Bo Zhong shook his head, "Naturally, it will be held." "He knows the origin of dragon boat racing.

"There is no such grand scene for private events," Yuan Ning sighed, "Moreover, it can't be so comprehensive in terms of security and defense, I heard that in the past, because of dragon boat racing, there have been several deaths."

"The dragon boat is so narrow that it will capsize if you are not careful, and the distance between the dragon boat and the dragon boat is so narrow that the oars will inevitably hit the head of the person who falls into the water......"

Bo Zhong understands this, in fact, accidentally overturning may not be really careless, there are many shady scenes here. But Su County's order is fair, and the rewards and punishments are strict, so no one dares to do this deliberately.

"In addition," Yuan Ning added, "if you want to get a good ranking in the dragon boat race, you have to work hard to practice, and everyone must work together and cooperate, there is no other shortcut." Invisibly, it tells people the importance of hard work and cooperation. ”

Bo Zhong suddenly said, "Ah, I see! ”

Yuan Ning smiled and touched his head, "It's very good, I know what I see not only on the surface, but also on deep thinking." ”

Bo Zhong's face was slightly red.

Zhong Ling suddenly said: "Sister, if we can provide clothes and make flags for the dragon boat team, can we also make a name for ourselves?" ”

This was really an unexpected joy, Yuan Ning looked at her in surprise, "How did you come up with that?" ”

Zhong Ling pursed his lips, his cheeks slightly hot, "It's also a whim." ”

"Good!" Yuan Ning affirmed with a smile, "After I go back, I will discuss it with Shopkeeper Qin and ask him to contact him to see if he can settle this matter." ”

Zhong Ling's eyes lit up, "You mean, my thoughts ......?"

"It's really good!" Yuan Ning praised again, "I really didn't expect that my second sister would have such a flexible business mind!" ”

Zhong Ling lowered his head and pursed his lips and laughed.

Shu Yu rushed over and shouted, "Eldest sister, praise me, praise me!" I'm smart too! I even wrote a poem! ”

Yuan Ning's eyes widened, "Our little brother can write poetry?" Okay, you read it and let's listen to it, if it's really good, you will definitely be rewarded! ”

Shu Yu cleared his throat, "Then you can listen well!" He straightened his small chest, put his hands behind his back, and paced two steps on the ground.

There was joy and joy here, and a sharp roar suddenly came from Yuan Ning's ears: "Protect your lord!" ”

Her face changed suddenly, and she immediately turned her head to look at the high platform, but as for what Shu Yu said, she didn't hear it at all.

The high platform was already surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the sound of shouting and shouting was endless, mixed with the screams and cries of the nearby people, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Yuan Ning's heart was in her throat, but because of the crowd over there, she couldn't see Su Heting at all, so she turned around and hurriedly ordered the guys: "Hurry up and take someone back!" ”

Aunt Zhang picked up Ji Xiu, pulled Shu Yu, and the guys pulled Bo Zhong and Zhong Ling, all of whom ran wildly towards the city.
