Shen Yuyu Jixun, Sun Xianling and others put the gifts in the storage place behind the stage, and they dispersed.

Needless to say, Sun Xianling had already taken the stage and began to deliver an impassioned speech, which soon aroused people's emotions and thunderous applause.

Ji Feng couldn't stay here, so he dragged his brother and sister-in-law into the crowd and went to the place where food was sold on the street.

Rock sugar gourd, roasted sweet potato, candied fruit. It is said that Shenjia Village won the first place later, and it was used to celebrate.

Shen Yuyu saw Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li in the crowd and a large group of aunts and aunts from Shenjia Village, everyone greeted each other and rushed to the small dock with great interest.

By the time Ji Xun escorted Shen Yuyu and Ji Feng out of the street and came to the dock, all the participating teams were ready, and the dragon boats in the shape of dragons were lined up.

Twenty-five villages, five towns and counties, a total of thirty-one boats, eighteen people in each boat, one in the bow waving the flag and shouting the trumpet, one in the stern at the helm, and one in the middle beating the drum. There are 8 people paddling on each side.

Each team wore different colored clothes, all of them were full of energy, and the formation was grand and the scene was spectacular.

The rewards for this dragon boat race are very rich, the top five have prizes, and the prizes are also very close to the people, which is very attractive.

The first prize is 100 taels of silver, 10 stones of rice, 100 catties of pork, and 50 chickens and ducks.

The second place was rewarded with 80 taels of silver, 8 stones of rice, 80 catties of pork, and 40 chickens and ducks.

The fifth place was rewarded with 20 taels of silver, 2 stones of rice, 20 catties of pork, and 10 chickens and ducks.

Such a rich reward is unprecedented, if you can get the first place, a village of fifty households can get two taels of silver, two or three catties of rice, pork, chickens and ducks.

In the countryside, a man in the prime of life only earns two taels of silver a year, and everyone can imagine how great the temptation is.

It is because all villages and towns have made sufficient preparations for a long time, and none of them want to take the lead and win the first place.

They are all crop men who work and carry burdens, and there are others who have no strength, and they are all full of confidence.

Sun Guling began to give orders: "The fifteenth year of Qi Heng in Dahe Town, the fifteenth dragon boat race, start now!"

With Sun Gu's order, the crew got up and down, paddling hard to hit the water, each dragon boat like an arrow from the string to sail forward, at this time the drumming on the boat, the shouts and cheers by the river converged together, and the crowd was passionate.

Those at the bow of the ship waved flags and shouted, and the action slogans were strong and powerful, which made people's blood boil, and their strength increased sharply after listening to them.

The name of the village to which the dragon boat belongs is written on the flag, so that people on the shore can easily distinguish it.

Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun took Ji Feng to pick a good position and stared at the ship in Shenjia Village.

Standing on the bow of the boat waving the flag and shouting is Shen Hailin, his hands are powerful, and every shout seems to condense the strength of the whole body, Shen Yuyu and Ji Feng saw it with passion, and couldn't help but stand up and cheer with the villagers of Shenjia Village such as Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li next to him.

"Shenjia Village, come on~~ Shenjia Village, come on~~"

"Huilong Village, come on~~ Huilong Village, come on~~" Villagers from various villages also gathered next to it, cheering for their own villages, and such a warm scene is also rare.

The dragon boat of Shenjia Village is currently in the first place, followed by Huilong Village", which is not much worse, and it is on a par.

This made the villagers of Shenjia Village extremely nervous, everyone stood up, and the slogan shouted louder, "Shenjia Village, come on~~ Shenjia Village, come on~~" I can't wait to transfer some strength to the boat, let them row faster, so as to increase the advantage.

The dragon boat on the tail was organized by Wantian County, and everyone is usually not diligent in their limbs, which is obviously not as good as the croppers from the village, but they are not in a hurry, and they focus on participation.

With the passage of time, dozens of dragon boats slowly pulled away, and there were six or seven in the head position, and you chased me and caught up with each other.

Shenjia Village still has a slight advantage, its right is Huilong Village, which is now in second place, and on the left is Liujia Village, which is in third place, and the three boats are all biting very tightly, and they may catch up and overtake at any time.

The people of the three villages on the shore were in a hurry, shouting so loudly that their voices were hoarse, and the sun was so strong that many people were suffering from heat stroke while shouting.

Someone sent water here, taking the opportunity to peddle Huoxiang Zhengqi powder produced by Baohetang', the villagers bought it without saying a word, and after taking the 'Huoxiang Zhengqi powder', they continued to shout and cheer.

The distance from the start to the end was about 500 meters, and soon there were only 100 meters left.

At this moment, the ranking is the first in Shenjia Village, the second in Huilong Village, and the third in Liujia Village, of course, the advantage is not very big, but it is not far from the finish line, as long as the first place is undoubtedly Shenjia Village.

However, at this moment, Liujiacun, who was in third place, didn't know what was going on, and suddenly the bow of the boat was crooked, and it slammed into the stern of Shenjiacun, and both boats were knocked crooked, so that Huilongcun took the opportunity to catch up.

The villagers of Shenjia Village did not give up, and after being hit, they readjusted and chased after them again.

However, when he was about to catch up, he was hit by the boat of Liujiacun and hit the stern, this time the force was too great, both boats overturned, and the men on the boat fell into the water one after another.

Shen Yuyu was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "I'll go, if this Liujia Village wants to say that it is not intentional, the ghosts don't believe it."

Ji Xun also stood up, secretly sighing that people's hearts are unpredictable, but the matter of one or two hundred taels of silver shows human nature so vividly.

The villagers of Shenjia Village were indignant, "What is Liujia Village trying to do?" Is it colluding with Huilong Village~~"

The people of Liujia Village also fought back, "Which eye did you see that we were colluding?" Our own boat also capsized. ”

The villagers of Shenjia Village said angrily: "But why did your boat suddenly turn around? Hit someone all of a sudden? It's so obvious that it's collusion, but I didn't expect to overturn my own boat, and I deserved it. ’

The people of the two villages scolded and scolded, and the scene was chaotic.

Sun Xianling didn't expect that such a thing would happen when he organized an event well, and he hurriedly sent many officers and soldiers over to maintain order.

"Okay, villagers, stop arguing." Sun Xian Ling shouted in a loud voice, "These three dragon boats are all ranked first, second and third, and they will all be distributed according to the results of the first place, this is all right?"

In order to calm things down, it can only be dealt with like this, anyway, all the merchants in Wantian County are very easy to talk, and when the time comes, the matter will be solved by encouraging each merchant to pay a few taels of silver, why make a fuss?

When Ji Xun heard this, he couldn't help but look at Sun County's order, and he couldn't help but deepen, I have to say that Sun County's order is indeed a good official!

However, these villagers in Liujia Village, looking at them are honest and honest farmers, who actually do such intriguing things.

Ji Xun sighed, and suddenly Shen Yuyu pointed to the river with an awe-inspiring face, "Ah Xun, those men who fell into the water don't seem to be quite right, take a look?"
