Chapter 175: Dragon Boat Festival (2)
Less than three minutes before the start of the event, the spectators on the shore gradually quieted down, holding their breath one by one, clenching their fists, silently cheering for the dragon boat team they supported or each dragon boat team, waiting for the moment of glory to come.
On the river, eleven strings of colored flags are arranged in parallel, neatly dividing the river into ten tracks, of which the fourth and eighth lanes are the teams of Xin'an Primary School and Xin'an University respectively, the difference is that the former is composed of teachers, and the latter is composed of students.
"Xiaoguang, this time our Academy of Liberal Arts finally grabbed two places, it is the time for me to wait for my prestige, and I must not drop the chain later!" Bai Qishan said a little nervously to Chi Longguang, the drummer sitting behind him.
This dragon boat race is already the second session, the last on-campus selection, they have the largest number of students in the Faculty of Arts, but the friends are not strong, and the result is nothing, so they can only stand on the shore and wave the flag and shout, not to mention how depressed it is!
This year, they finally grabbed two seats, and even grabbed a drummer, he and Chi Longguang can shoulder the ardent expectations of dozens of old and young masters in the whole hospital, if this is because of their reasons, the results are sparse, then they don't want to raise their heads in the next year.
Chi Longguang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You still care about yourself! A scene like this is just a small matter to me!"
Well, in fact, he was also very nervous.
Although it is true that as he said, he has experienced scenes bigger than this, and even participated in the grand ceremony of the king of Madara, but in the previous grand ceremonies, his role was the soy sauce party, which was insignificant, and it was the first time that he directly participated in it like this time.
This feeling is very strange, there is an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart, which makes him unconsciously want to get good grades, but the source of this desire is not all for himself, but more for Sin'an University, for the Faculty of Letters, and for the first-year literature class.
When he thought of this, he couldn't believe that in just over a month, he would one day think about others, and no one would believe it!
It's just that he doesn't know that this is the sense of collective honor! This is the strength of the collective!
The red dragon light is a little trance-like, but time will not stop flowing because of his trance.
"Knock knock knock...", the first drum sound remembers, prompting the teams to hurry up and make the last preparations.
The rumbling drum made Chi Longguang "wake up", his eyes became sharp, his expression became firm, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and he entered the state in an instant, which made a team leader from the engineering college who was just about to remind him be amazed.
"Knock knock..."
The second drum sounded to remind the players to take their seats.
It didn't take long...
"Knock knock knock...", the third drum sounded.
Preparation!
"Read Ang!"
The starter slammed his hammer into a huge gong.
At the sound of an order, the rowers on the ten dragon boats suddenly danced with their hands quickly, providing acceleration for the dragon boats. The war drums sounded, accompanied by the horn of blood, the dragon boat started slowly, the frequency of the war drums became faster and faster, and the speed of the dragon boat became faster and faster.
On the river bank, the moment the entourage gong sounded, the silence was broken instantly, and the enthusiastic audience waved their arms, pulled their throats, and cheered loudly with red faces, and even the temperature up and down the river increased by more than ten degrees for a while.
"Come on, come on, teacher!"
"The bald head is strong, speed up! Why are you so frustrated!
"Oops, it's fourth!"
“......”
Qian Xiaoyi and other friends suddenly shouted, especially the crazy girl Yueye Pheasant, that crazy energy, was about to climb on Zeng Xuelong's head, making the latter enjoy the double torment of pain and happiness.
"Passing by, it was the team from Shennong Shipyard that just overtook it, right?" Qian Xiaoyi whispered in the ear of the passerby.
"Hmm..." nodded a little awkwardly, said, and looked around weakly, fortunately a few friends did not find this stubble, otherwise they might not know how to make a fuss! Don't expect a group of primary school students to analyze rationally, they will only be emotional, and unreasonable!
"Hehe, the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce drew lots for the second group!" Qian Xiaoyi said with a smug face.
After rolling my eyes wildly, I couldn't think of anything to be proud of!
......
In the VIP stands, Qin Jiushao, vice minister of culture and education, Gao Hanlian, director of the Athletic Division, and Zhao Siye, the county magistrate of Shennong County, were sitting together, chatting with each other, but their eyes never left the river, obviously for them, such an event is still very attractive.
"This kind of event should be held more and bigger! It can not only delight the people, but also stimulate the people's spirit of progress, strengthen their physical fitness, and unite people's hearts! Kill four birds with one stone, but hate the iron roosters of the Ministry of Finance who stuck the funds to death, and there are still only two gymnasiums!" While watching the fierce game, Gao Hanlian complained to his colleagues.
As the director of the athletic division, his athletic career has not been developed, where did he get his political achievements, and when will it be his turn to sit under Qin Jiushao's ass on the side! However, Sang Hongyang of the Ministry of Finance is not interested in the development of athletics, if it were not for Li Kang's support, Gao Hanlian would not have wanted to pull a dime out of Sang Hongyang's mouth, this resentment is not deep.
However, Qin Jiushao and Zhao Siye were farting when he was farting.
Although the former is the direct boss of Gao Hanlian, the competition is also under his control, but his energy is obviously focused on education, even if he can get money from the Ministry of Finance, he is not that interested in investing in competition, competition is for him, it is just a fun, see if it's okay, if you want money, no way!
The latter doesn't care even more, he is the mayor of Shennong Town, and the grievances between the Athletic Division and the Ministry of Finance are his business!
Gao Hanlian didn't get a response, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, especially Qin Jiushao's attitude, which made his heart pull out the cold.
"Zhao Xianzun, who do you think will win in this first group?" After Qin Jiushao ignored Gao Hanlian's gaze, he asked Zhao Siye beside him with interest.
"Lord Shilang—Chinese officials are used to privately calling the chief a scholar and the deputy chief a squire—want to make a bet?" replied Zhao Siye.
"It's too late to bet!" Qin Jiushao said with a smile, "It's almost time to see!"
"yes!"
......
Ten dragon boats dragged their long tails, whistling towards the finish line, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax, the drum beat was dense, and the heart was anxious.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Suddenly, at some point, all the audience shouted the word "fast" in unison!
Ten, nine, eight, seven... Three, two, one!
It's over!
The first dragon boat crossed the finish line, followed by the second and third ... Article 10.
"Hahaha..."
Bai Qishan stood at the stern of the boat, flamboyant and wanton![.]
