Chapter 119: Fanaticism
Jiang Han struggled to hold the bulge on the city wall, and stared sideways at the ten dragon boats that were rapidly rowing from west to east in the river, and he seemed to be able to hear a fierce drum and shouting on the boats in his ears.
But the blood-boiling sound only lasted in her ears for a while, and was overshadowed by the incessant chattering and quarreling in the trees around her.
"Look, that Huanglong is from Wangjia Village! In previous years, they were the leaders of the dragon boat race in Luoxia Town, and I wonder if they can compete in the county today if they can compare to the red dragon ...... of Xiangnan Village, who has dominated the top spot for many years," one said excitedly.
"I don't think they can do it, you see that the two boats are half a body apart!" The other denied.
"That's not necessarily, this year the village near Luoxia Town also came, and it is said that there are thirty or forty boats participating! Ten boats in one round, at least four rounds to reach the finals! β
"The top two in each round are selected, and now is the preliminary round, as long as you can enter the finals......"
ββ¦β¦ You know what, now that you've run out of energy, how can you compete in the finals in a while? β
"You can see if you look at the people, everyone on the red dragon is taller and stronger than the yellow dragon, I dare to bet with you, in the end, the red dragon will definitely win!"
"Then you're wrong! I'll bet with you, it's definitely Huanglong who wins, this dragon boat race doesn't depend on tall stature, it depends on hand strength and endurance......"
"This is the first round, and you're all foolish! I heard that this year, in order to win the championship, Donglou Village and Beijie Village on the edge of the county town specially invited powerful people to take the helm, and this helm is also very important! β
"Yes, those two villages are the blue dragon and the black and red dragon, they didn't appear just now, and the results of previous years are also comparable to that Xiangnan Village......"
ββ¦β¦ The competition is so strong this year, who doesn't know who the flowers are! β
"I also heard that the ten-mile village is also very powerful......
"Let's bet, I'll bet that we won, come on Wangjiacun, come on Wangjiacun, come on Wangjia......"
"You turned out to be from Wangjia Village! Wait and see, you can only be defeated by our subordinates in Xiangnan Village this year, Xiangnan Village is the first, and Xiangnan Village is ......"
"Hey, don't underestimate people too much, our Shili Village is also very well prepared this year, come on, Shili Village! β¦β¦β
Jiang Han lay on the city wall in this funny posture, gritted her teeth and insisted on the various dragon boats in the river scrambling to row out of her sight. This painful process, coupled with the incessant shouting, noisy and crazy cheering of the eight people on the tree, also made her once again experience the frenzy and excitement of the crazy spectators in the stands when she was on the field.
When she could no longer see the shadow of the dragon boat on the left side of her head and on the right side, the breath she was holding in her chest leaked out, and her body began to sway.
At the moment when she was about to fall, she reacted quickly and grabbed the branch in front of her, and jumped to the ground with a "bang" in the self-rescue action and panicked screams of the two people standing on the branch.
It's just that the location she chose is too good.
After hitting the ground, she staggered forward, not wanting to, but she just fell on a man who was retreating from the crowd to the side of the road, who stepped back, tripped by another person's foot, and staggered backwards......
In an instant, the people scattered along the road fell like dominoes, one by one, and uncontrollably stacked towards the crowded crowd on the riverbank......
When they stacked in the middle of the crowd, someone finally reacted quickly and pushed the bystanders and dodged to the side.
Unfortunately, he still didn't hide fast enough, and the hem of his clothes was still grabbed by the people who fell towards him.
The man who had been dragged could not hold himself steady and fell backwards, but he fell on top of him with a man who was clinging to him in a gray cloth and a short beating.
The gray short hit quickly took a step back, and his body leaned back, and his hands shook up and down involuntarily, barely steady, and he didn't fall.
But at this moment, the wallet he was holding in his hand was reflected in the eyes of the man who fell in front of him......
"My purse...... You're a thief! The thief stole my money bag! β
The man's eyes were wide open, and he struggled to get up to grab his wallet, but before he could get up, he tripped again. When the thief heard this, his complexion changed, and he fled quickly to the south gate......
"Catch a thief! Help me catch that thief! He stole my money bag! β
With a terrible shout, a figure dropped the phrase "Wait here" and rushed out of the city wall as fast as possible......
The thief is fast, the person who catches up is faster, and the distance between the two is getting closer and closer......
The person chasing people is, of course, Jiang Han.
As soon as she knocked the person down, she jumped up, apologized again and again, and went to help the others who had fallen to the ground. As soon as she pulled up the two people, she heard the sound of catching the thief, and she chased them out without thinking about it.
"Stop! Do you do this kind of thing while everyone is busy and festive, do you lack virtue? Jiang Han shouted to the person in front of him while chasing.
The thief was not as fast as hers, but he was more agile, and when he ran into the south gate, he ran into the alley across the riverside street.
This piece of fang is called Wanghefang, just behind the shops on the riverside street that are not facing the river. The square area occupies half of the riverside street, but the depth is less than 30 zhang, and the small courtyards of the households in the square are numerous and scattered, making the whole square area look very crowded. In addition to the eight main lanes, there are many criss-crossing lanes in the workshop, and it is easy for unfamiliar people to get lost.
The two were chasing each other in the street, the distance was very tight, and the thief was scurrying around, racking his brains to get rid of Jiang Han.
But what kind of person is Jiang Han, how can ordinary people have speed and endurance when it comes to running? No matter how the other party escaped, even if he couldn't catch it for a while, he never gave him a chance to dodge and disappear.
Therefore, the thief circled around the sparsely populated alleys several times, but was never able to escape.
The two of them turned around like this, Jiang Han was effortless, but the thief was a little out of breath.
The thief couldn't help but peek back, and when he saw that Jiang Han was still behind him, he immediately gritted his teeth and sped up, and ran towards the main street again......
He thought that the main street was crowded and that it was not as convenient as the uninhabited alleys, so maybe he would have a chance to find a corner to hide.
Jiang Han didn't care what he was thinking.
She bit the person in front of her tightly and shouted angrily: "Stop! I already know you, you can't run away, I can catch you wherever you hide! β
As soon as she finished shouting, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley, two feet away in front of her, and hurriedly ran in another direction.
Jiang Han was blocked by the figure that suddenly came out, and his speed paused for a momentβin just a moment, the thief in front of him almost disappeared.
Thankfully, she was able to catch a last-minute glimpse of the thief scurrying into another alley in front of her.
She was furious and spat fiercely: "Damn, you still dare to run, my aunt and grandmother won't give you a little bit of power today, I won't be surnamed Jiang!" β
As she spoke, she also rushed into the alley.
The thief just wanted to go into a courtyard to hide at this time, when he suddenly saw Jiang Han, he was shocked, hurriedly put down his hands, turned around and fled again.
With this delay, Jiang Han could have easily caught up with him, but she changed her mind and was no longer in a hurry.
She adjusted her speed to maintain a steady distance from the thief, and exclaimed, "Still running? If you have the ability, hurry up! I'm going to reach you! As she spoke, she deliberately reached forward to fish.
The thief subconsciously accelerated, Jiang Han also accelerated, the distance between the two remained the same, coupled with her words of pretending to catch people, and the appearance of catching people from time to time - the thief was so amused by her that he panicked, and after he reached the end of this area, he turned a corner and began to circle back.
"Hurry up! Can't run? I'm going to catch you if you're slow? β
Jiang Han spent all her time teasing the thief, but the thief had been forced by her to pant and walk messily.
The two chased after each other, and went around three or four more alleys, and the thief was already dry and exhausted.
He finally couldn't help but look back, wanting to see what kind of madman he was, how long would it take for the other party to lose his strength if he was so desperately chased!
At this glance, he realized that the people behind him were not at all the same as he imagined!
Not only did her face remain the same, her steps were relaxed, but even her breathing was not messy.
Seeing him look over, she smiled at him tuggingly.
When the thief saw this smile, his eyes suddenly dilated, and then he begged breathlessly: "Jiang Daxia, I, I can't, but steal, steal one, a money bag, it's not much, it's not much...... You, you high, raise your noble hand, just, let go, let me go! β
Jiang Han sneered when he heard this, and said, "It's late!" At first, if you threw your money bag out and ran away, I wouldn't chase youβ" In the middle of her sentence, she suddenly said, "You know me!" β
When the thief heard this, he almost wanted to bite off his tongue.
was confused by the chase of this surnamed Jiang, so he said that he missed his mouth.
He had never seen a miser who had made a fortune but only went out with two pennies, so he was too impressed by her.
I really didn't burn incense when I went out today, but I was entangled by this person.
Thinking about Huang Youneng who was stained by her, he shuddered suddenly, quickly shut up, gritted his teeth and struggled with a little strength, and quickly got up again.
However, how can he outrun Jiang Han in such an exhausted state!
In the next second, Jiang Han had already crossed him and blocked the front, staring at his face carefully.
The thief was so frightened that he turned around and ran out of the alley.
"Don't run! Tell me honestly, how do you know me? Did you steal my money too? Jiang Han shouted, took a step forward and stretched out his hand to pull him.
Who knows, as soon as she stepped out, a money bag flew in front of her, she hurriedly dodged, and then she wanted to chase, and another one flew ......
Throwing six in a row, Jiang Han couldn't help but look back at the money bag on the ground, and the moment he turned around, the thief seized the gap and ran into another alley on the left.
She kept her eyes on the alley, took a few steps back, quickly picked up the six money bags on the ground, and rushed towards the alley with all her strength bent over.
It's just that she was still a step too late, and when she chased after her, the thief shadow was already gone.
"Good boy, if I don't catch you today, I'll write the word Jiang upside down!" Jiang Han scolded and searched along the alley non-stop.
After looking for three alleys, I finally found the gray figure who fled in a hurry when I saw her.
"Stand, don't run! You can't get out of my palm today! Jiang Han yelled at the people in front of him.
When the thief heard this, he fled even more desperately.
The two fled and chased to the main street.
"Catch a thief! Help me stop the thief! Jiang Han shouted as he ran.
When she shouted, the thief fled faster!
In a short time, he actually recovered his vitality, and his running pace was fast and not chaotic, but it was difficult for her to catch up for a while......
The layout of the shops on the riverside street is similar, most of the boxes above the second floor are long strips and transparent on both sides, and guests can watch the river view when they sit in the private rooms, and they can watch the street view when they walk to the corridor.
At this time, shortly after the end of the second round of preliminary rounds, many boxes upstairs opened their doors.
Hearing the sound of cheering from the street, the guests all curiously walked to the railing and stretched out their heads to look down.
In the corridor on the second floor of the Luyunxuan Teahouse, which is close to the county school, Xiao Song, who helped Lu Tong to go downstairs to return to the second floor, also heard the sound of the street.
He looked sideways curiously and exclaimed, "Childe! The little second brother is chasing someone on the street! β
Lu Tong also looked over when he heard this.
At this glance, he was attracted by another person, and he couldn't help but exclaim......
