Since it is not yet the time of the competition, there are no people sitting on the dragon boat, only a big drum stands in the middle position, and the words Zhang, Wang, Liu, Sun and other words are written on the drum surface, which in turn represent the surnames of the owners of each dragon boat.

Jiang Shu had never watched the dragon boat race in person, and after looking around, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's so lively here, I've never seen such a lively place in the capital!" ”

Lang Mo turned his head to look at her lightly, and said with a faint smile: "This Zhangjiawan is the northernmost point of the Grand Canal, known as the first wharf of the canal, like salt and rice merchants, national tributes, and internal and external gentry, all ships pass through here to change cars into Beijing. ”

"I really don't want to leave for you to say that," Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised the corners of his lips and said, "I guess it's still very good to look at the scene of the night singing." ”

"If you don't mind, we can find an inn in town for a night and go back tomorrow." Seeing her look of longing, Lang Mo smiled and proposed.

"I still don't want it," Jiang Shu waved his hand hurriedly, "My grandmother at home is very strict, and I ran out secretly when I went out today, so I don't dare not go home at night." ”

"In that case...... Lang Mo hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Then let's watch the dragon boat race here first, and after returning to Deyue Tower at noon for lunch, we will go to the mosque in the town to visit the temple fair." ”

"There's still a temple fair here?" Jiang Shu was a little surprised.

Lang Mo nodded slowly: "Every major festival, the mosque will hold a temple fair to celebrate. ”

"That's good," Jiang Shu smiled slightly, agreeing, "It's inevitably a bit boring to stay in one place to watch the game, and it's good to go to the temple fair." ”

The two were talking, four or five zhang to the east of the wharf, outside the red lacquer archway that was erected high with the plaque of "Zhangjiawan Wharf", there was a sudden sound of noisy gongs and drums.

"Look, look, it's the lion dance team here!" Immediately after, someone shouted.

After his reminder, everyone nearby reacted that the game was about to start, and rushed to that side.

Although Jiang Shu and Lang Mo didn't plan to go along, because they were in the crowd, they couldn't help but be carried over there for a long distance.

Finally stopped, had been squeezed into the outer circle of the lion dance field, a few steps away, Jiang Shu looked at the two colorful lions that kept beating for a while, turned his head to Lang Mo beside him and asked, "Isn't there a dragon dance in this dragon boat race?" Why do you want a lion dance? ”

Lang Mo tilted his head and glanced over there and said, "This opening performance is to celebrate the start of the dragon boat race, the purpose is just to enhance the festive atmosphere, it doesn't matter what the dance is." ”

After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand to the side: "Look, the dragon is also here." ”

Jiang Shu looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen young men wearing yellow shorts and red cloth buns walking towards this side from the street not far away, holding a wooden stick and holding a yellow dragon.

Wanting to enjoy this ancient dragon and lion dance performance up close, she said expectantly: "Then let's squeeze in and have a look." ”

"Okay." Lang Mo smiled and nodded, gently raised his hand and took her arm, and walked through the crowd and inside.
