71 Night Crossing
Mu Fei borrowed a hull for practice and carried it to the vicinity of the wrecked river section of Zhu Dayong, and saw that everyone was almost there, "We'll go into the water when it's dark." β
Tan Xiao nodded, and touched the drum prepared by Mu Fei to familiarize himself with the props to be used later. He saw Fang Zhu standing on the shore with his hands behind his back, with a confident posture.
Fang Zhu is an aquatic tribe where Yun Mengze grew up, and he is naturally very familiar with dragon boat racing, which is the birthplace of dragon boat racing. So when Mu Fei said that he should be the captain, he was full of confidence.
"You don't know, at that time, there were people on the water, and I also secretly borrowed a boat to participate in it, which was really interesting." Fang Zhu looked at the water surface for a long time, turned his head and said with emotion.
Tan Xiao: "......"
Good guy, it's you, you have a share of the supernatural legends of the dragon boat race, right?
- This is also the difference between demons and people, Fang Zhu can be regarded as a kind-hearted person in the demon clan, and there will be this kind of time when borrowing a boat to scare people without knowing it.
"Okay, I'll repeat the position now, Gong Fang Zhu, drummer Tan Xiao, I'm the gong player, and then the first gear Ah Jin, Jiao Aperture, second gear ......" Mu Fei finished reading the position, and didn't read Kong Xuan, "Thank you for your hard work." β
Fang Zhu thought to himself, it is estimated that this kind of scene does not need the Peacock God to row the boat himself, and when the time comes, when the spirit witch gives an order, he will just do it directly.
In this dragon boat race, the most important role is still me, and I have to lead everyone......
Before Fang Zhu could finish thinking about it, he heard Tan Xiao pinching the drumstick and saying, "It's not hard, the god of hard work has led us to victory." β
"Huh?" Fang Zhu didn't hold back, and questioned loudly.
Kong Xuan glanced at him obliquely, "Do you have any questions?" β
So what's not?
There is a saying that a thousand-mile ship depends on the helmsman!
Fang Zhu said in a trance: "I thought I was the one who grabbed the ......"
Kong Xuan sneered, lit the bare dragon boat and said, "Don't you see, the dragon boat has no dragon head and dragon tail?" Don't you know, what is important about a ship? β
To say that the most important person is the captain, but the most important part...... The dragon head and dragon tail are like heaven and earth, and they must be connected to the dragon head and tail to be considered a whole, especially the dragon head.
Fang Zhu had always thought that Mu Fei had other preparations, but now when he heard Kong Xuan's words, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Kong Xuan looked at the sky, he could go into the water, and stood lightly on the bow of the boat, showing the original body of the peacock, a peacock with gorgeous feathers and brilliant colors squatted on the bow of the boat, which was larger than the ordinary peacock, with its head held high, and its long tail feathers covered the bow of the boat, and the color was more vivid than the pattern of the hull.
The five-colored divine light is embedded in the stern of the ship, becoming the tail of the "dragon", and when you look at the silhouette in the night, it is really like that.
This stand-in is much more upscale than Jingtiao.
At the same time, it also plays a role in covering up their tracks - of course, they are not good at showing their tracks publicly, what if they are seen and photographed by the citizens, although the rumors in this city seem to be very fierce.
Fang Zhu was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, "This ......"
How can this be refuted! It's not called a dragon boat without a dragon head!
Kong Xuan was extremely proud, turned his head, and urged: "It's in the water." β
Tan Xiao actively carried the drum onto the boat, and touched Kong Xuan's tail when he passed by the bow of the boat, "This boat has become much more beautiful all of a sudden, right?" β
The ancients said that "the painting of the eagle comes together, the big competition of the Yangtze River", in addition to the phoenix in the bird boat, there are also many other birds, I don't know if anyone has ever made a peacock boat, but this one in front of them seems to be the most dazzling they have seen.
Kong Xuan didn't speak, but Mu Fei covered his eyes: "Great god, don't have a glow-in-the-dark dragon boat!" β
The five-color divine light is lit up again, but it's okay, it's good-looking, it's good-looking, and it will scare the other party.
Fang Zhu's eyes gradually changed from shock to admiration, and fell on Tan Xiao, is this how you made the Peacock God agree to be the leader......
The night was blank, and the river was empty.
After boarding the boat, Tan Xiao first beat the side drum and asked everyone to follow the drum beat to make the rhythm neat.
Ah Jin in the first gear felt numb, he was a little scared, it was easy to enter the water when the dragon boat was moving forward, so it would be necessary to clean up the stagnant water, and he, as an electrical appliance, was always a little uncomfortable immersed in the water.
But he looked around pitifully, only he was afraid, the dead camera was not afraid, what, is your waterproof function very powerful?
"Knock knock!"
Ah Jin was still slandering, and the drum was already tight at this time!
Amateur rower Ah Jin hurriedly followed the temporary training, followed by the speed of paddling, I don't know if it is because it is the spirit witch who beats the drum, this drum is different from the ordinary dragon boat drum, it spreads especially far, floating on the big river, it seems melodious, but it knocks people's hearts tightly.
Ah Jin only felt that his mind was also being urged, constantly bouncing in his body, and with the tight rhythm, the whole demon was also excited, forgetting his disgust with water, and scratching down greatly, quite feeling like riding the wind and waves.
Immersed in rowing, Ah Jin's enthusiasm was on his head, and he didn't know how far he rowed, before a thought floated through him: "Why haven't you led out the night dragon boat yet, won't they dare to come?" β
Ah Jin quickly turned his head, but saw that Tan Xiao had put on his face at some point, it was an old version of the paper mask, and the shadow on his face was heavier that night, he seemed to be aware of it when he beat the drum, and looked back slightly, and he could feel his dignified gaze through the mask, which frightened Ah Jin to quickly refocus on rowing and no longer think nonsense.
At this moment, in the panting voice, Tan Xiaoyang sang the tune of the dragon boat he heard when he was a child: "The oars sweep away a thousand waves and bend inward!" β
Leading the crowd and harmony, today's newly formed dragon boat rowers obviously haven't rehearsed, but they can't help but talk about Xiao and harmonize together, "Bend in-"
"Boom! Boom! β
The passionate and rapid sound of the gong sounded coldly in the rear, calling people a spirit!
This is the sound of the gong of the dragon boat's rapid speed, which means that the dragon boat has fallen behind people, and it is time to accelerate.
Here it comes.
In the darkness, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly appeared.
Everyone's hearts moved, knowing that it must be the night dragon boat coming.
"Knock knock!" But at this time, Tan Xiao's drumming told them to concentrate on rowing and not to disturb the rhythm.
The rower at the end of the gear was buried in the water, but out of the corner of his eye, he could almost see the bow of the boat that was vaguely catching up, but in the next second, Fang Zhu took a long look, but his own dragon boat snatched out the boss again.
"Beat the drums and row the boat!"
"Come on, take away the calamityβ"
On the other party's dragon boat, a neat dragon boat horn also sounded, and it was obviously much harder than their side, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and it seemed that they were about to catch up again.
Although most of them are amateurs here, they can't stand Fang Zhunai is Jiao, he is not in a hurry, he goes down a little, and he just slips away to play with each other.
Ah Jin didn't know what Tan Xiao's plans were, even the peacock god didn't shoot irritably, he only cut the wind and waves silently with the body of a dragon head, could it be that he really planned to win the other party in the race. But in the drumbeat that seemed to be able to control people's hearts, he had no time to think about anything else. The two boats raced on the river, and the hull of the boat changed back and forth, and I didn't know where the end was.
On the balcony of a house, the little girl pointed to two shadows swimming in the river and said loudly: "Mom, look, there are people rowing below!" β
The hostess smiled, "It's called a cargo ship, it's for transportation." β
"It's not yes, they're competing." The little girl turned her head and said.
The hostess suddenly remembered the recent rumors in the community, her heart jumped, and she ran to the window to look down, but the river was vast, and there was no shadow of a boat.
"Come on! Come on! The little girl raised her fist and shouted, not knowing which dragon boat she was cheering for.
In a trance, the hostess seemed to have heard the faint sound of gongs and drums in the distance, her face turned pale, and she covered her daughter's mouth, "Good baby, don't watch the game, let's go to sleep, okay?" β
β¦β¦
"Knock knock! Boom! Boom! β
Ah Jin only heard the drum beat change, and he subconsciously followed suit, only to feel that his body was crooked, and the ship under him was quickly turning around.
In a very short period of speed, the entire dragon boat directly hit horizontally, blocking the way of the dragon boat behind.
In the face of such a "blockade", the other party did not want to hit the ship, so he had to tilt the bow of the ship, but in this way, there was only one direction left for them, and at the end was a dangerous shoal that appeared in front of them at some point!
The river here is cramped and the water is fierce, there is no room for the other party to use skills to turn around, at this moment, what else can the night dragon boat do?
I saw that the night dragon boat and their bird boat almost passed by, rushed to the beachhead at a very fast speed, and still slid out on the beach, and ran aground dangerously.
"......" Ah Jin snorted and snorted, and then he understood why Tan Xiao had not moved, he was waiting for the beachhead at this turn.
And the night dragon boat did not escape after it ran aground.
However, they were forced to run aground on the beachhead, they lost too badly, and they were too convinced, and they had no shame to escape.
Tan Xiao changed the drum at this time, Fang Zhu grasped the direction, and the dragon boat rowed towards that side, and everyone's minds gradually relaxed.
Mu Fei directly put down the gong and wiped the sweat on his head: "I'm so nervous!" β
If you just make a fight, the water fight should be a fierce battle, but the dragon boat race is like another kind of blood.
Everyone on the ship looked at each other, and this time they were united and cooperative, which was quite a different kind of satisfaction. Even Kong Xuan, who is the leader, is not dissatisfied because he didn't make a move - no, this race wins, why is it not a shot? Look at how well he takes the lead and cooperates with Tan Xiao's drumming.
Everyone almost didn't have time to turn their heads to look at the boat, and now looking at the back of the dragon boat that rushed to the beach, there were shadows in the dark, and Ah Jin couldn't help but say: "Spirit Master, I have a question, you said that without a dragon head, the dragon boat can't be considered a dragon boat, but this one, it shouldn't have a dragon head, right?" β
Tan Xiao's face under the mask was also full of doubts, it was indeed ah...... He didn't even know where the boat came from, and he specially asked Mu Fei to count it, and none of the boats in the dragon boat race were missing, not just the race
With dragon boats, Mu Fei even asked various local dragon boat factories and workshops, but did not say about the missing boats.
As for the dragon head, it is even more impossible, the dragon head is not only in the temple now, but it has been given to the wizard, which is even more difficult to steal.
"Then maybe they're ...... It's not official, oops, it's an illegal dragon boat, you don't care about them. Mu Fei said.
"No, I seemed to see them having dragon heads on the river before." Fang Zhu said that as the captain, he needed to pay full attention the most, and he really didn't look at it squarely.
"Yes, yes, I seem to have swept the afterglow, but I can't see what kind of faucet it is at night."
"Huh? Why did they borrow the faucet too? Mu Fei said depressedly.
At this time, their ships had also reached the beachhead and successfully landed on the beach.
Everyone jumped off the boat one after another and walked to the side, which was closer, and it was clear that the rowers and captains sitting on the boat were mostly dressed in short clothes, and some even had a sense of age, their faces were pale, and their bodies were wet.
I'm afraid these are all rowers who once drowned in the dragon boat race.
They looked at them with a hollow and strangely focused gaze, as if life had been frozen in the last moment before death, leaving only a repetitive plot.
The helmsman's consciousness was more flexible, and he clenched his fists at the group, and his voice was erratic: "I'm convinced, Singer." β
"It's easy to say......" Tan Xiao said halfway, Mu Fei turned on the strong flashlight and illuminated the beachhead, everyone saw the whole picture of each other's dragon boats clearly, and saw that their bow was also fighting with one thing, their faces were soft, but the texture was hard and the colors were bright.
Everyone: "............"
Fang Zhu was stunned: "Tiger head boat? β
Mu Fei's face collapsed: "Kai X cat! Which mall did you go to or steal from the amusement park! β
Ah, no, big brother, you guys are stealing a real dragon head!
And if you look closely, there is a faint blood stain on the eyes of the cat's head - the dragon head must first be put into the water with rooster blood.
When the other party heard Mu Fei's words, he scratched his head innocently: "What, isn't this a dragon head?" Just like Mu Fei wanted to find a handicraft to replace it at that time, everyone thought of going together.
"Is there a dragon head with a bow?" Mu Fei can't complain, I think the grandfather has been dead for too long, don't think it's a new streamer.
"It turns out that it's not just our faucet that is fake, haha." Tan Xiao accepted it well, after all, he himself was the leader of the peacock pretending to be the dragon, patted the side of Kong Xuan's neck, Kong Xuan shook his body and jumped into Tan Xiao's arms.
This is not Kong Xuan's intention, he is not a lazy bird, it won't be because he doesn't want to walk or something, he definitely doesn't mean that at all, but he is afraid that his identity will be exposed.
Kong Xuan's move, Uncle Gong was startled: "Ouch, I almost scared me alive, how can you crested crested head be fake, and it can move, it's so weird!" β
Everyone: "......"
Look at what you said, isn't your dragon head fake?
Tan Xiao was still wearing a paper mask on his face, he held the peacock, looked at the head of the row, from the beginning to the end, and finally found a somewhat familiar face in the wet face, "I wish the old man...... Wishing Dayong? β
When the stunned soul heard its name, it slowly looked up and reacted.
As long as there is a reaction, Tan Xiao is afraid that he will really immerse himself in it.
Zhu Dayong looked at the masked man and felt that the voice seemed familiar, but in this form, he thought about it for a long time and didn't remember why it was familiar, and said like a dream: "Do I know you?" You guys won, didn't you......"
"Yes, we won, you can go back." Tan Xiao only answered the second question.
"Go back? Go back, where to go? "Zhu Dayong was dumbfounded.
"Let's go back to class!" Kong Xuan said angrily, "Do you still have any teacher virtue!" β
Everyone: "......"
Zhu Dayong was also inexplicably fierce, and shrank to look at the menacing bird, for some reason he was scared when he saw this bird...... Scared and a little familiar.
"What's the matter, what's your business?" Zhu Dayong said stiffly, "I want to row a dragon boat, and when we get the first place, I will go back." β
It was as if he had been assimilated, and it was clear that there was only one thing left in his mind.
"This kind of group activity will enhance the sense of community, not to mention that he is now in a state of soul, and his brain is straight." Mu Fei assessed, no wonder the conjuring spirit can't go back, if he suffers outside, it's just that, in fact, people are taking him to engage in sports practice, and even hit him, he has done a dragon boat rower before, and later, including this Dragon Boat Festival, there is no chance.
So Zhu Dayong is single-minded, like other water ghosts, he wants to participate in the event first.
What's not my business, what about my PE class? Kong Xuan's eyes became sharp, and he immediately wanted to forcibly get Zhu Dayong's soul back, and was just about to open his mouth to recite a mantra, when Tan Xiao's two fingers pinched the beak of fate.
Kong Xuan: "............! β
Damn, audacious!
Tan Xiao continued to pat comfortingly on the peacock, trying to slowly release her fingers, feeling that the peacock was not going to continue screaming.
"But you've lost the boat, haven't you rowed enough these days? If you continue to row, your body will not be able to stand it. Tan Xiao said to Zhu Dayong, "Have you forgotten that your family, friends, colleagues and students are waiting for you......"
Zhu Dayong was in a trance and hesitated.
Yes, he's been happy for many days, does he have to get the first place?
"Best of luck! You still have ten years left on the mortgage, and the lesson plan has not been written, and the PPT is to be done......" Mu Fei directly made a social animal spell.
Zhu Dayong was instantly sober when he heard this, hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Ahhhh β
"Don't do this, what if he doesn't want to go back." Talking about Xiaorao is not out of society yet, and he is a little scared.
"Let him sober up." Mu Fei smiled, it was hard not to think that she was doing it on purpose.
At this time, there was a faint cry from the river: "Is Zhu Dayong back?" β
Someone replied, "It's back!" β
Again, "Is Zhu Dayong back?" β
"Did you hear that? Who's calling me? Zhu Dayong turned his head, "I don't seem to have heard this voice for the first time...... Like, as if I heard it a long, long time ago. β
But no one but him could hear it.
This is the voice of Zhu Dayong's parents, they really took the offerings and went to the river to shout their souls according to what Tan Xiao said.
Before, Zhu Dayong, who was immersed in the event, didn't take it seriously, many years ago, he heard such a voice, he was like a child who couldn't think of returning home after playing outside, and suddenly woke up at the shouts of his parents: I should go home.
"It's time for me to go back!" Zhu Dayong's eyes became firm.
"Don't do anything dangerous in the future." Kong Xuan also said coldly.
Zhu Dayong: "......" why is this concern full of inexplicable threats.
"Go back, follow the sound and you'll find your way." Tan Xiao pushed Zhu Dayong, and he fluttered on the road to resurrection.
After Zhu Dayong left, there was a few seconds of silence at the scene.
"If you lose, your rows are out of line." The captain sighed, "Let's disperse." β
The water ghosts were all wilted, first they lost, and then they slipped away, and they were all a little hit, and they stood up and wanted to leave.
"What should I do when you're all gone!" The Kai X cat suddenly spoke, and it was a delicate girl's voice, "Don't go, you promised me that you would compete together!" β
βοΌοΌβ There are too many ghosts here, and Tan Xiao really didn't notice that there was something wrong with the "dragon head", which was not stolen, but made by himself, "Huh? Why do you also have a dragon boat dream? β
He really couldn't figure it out, Zhu Dayong and these water ghosts were just that, how did you come to the dragon boat dream.
The girl couldn't help crying and said, "Why can't I have it?" I've been competing for 20 years, I've won countless times, and I've been locked up for eight years, so I think it's wrong to go into the water? Obviously they have already painted me, why put it back again, why give my dragon head to other boats, I can still row! β
Only then did Tan Xiao understand that it was just talking through that mouth, but it was actually the hull of the dragon boat. can't transform yet, it seems that it's also a new generation of demon clans.
Thinking of the hull of the ship that was put on hold, Tan Xiao understood why when Mu Fei went to see it, he said that it was not stolen, and naturally it covered itself.
"It's your team...... Mu Fei sighed, "but you can't break the rules, and drag people into the water, which has a lot of impact on Teacher Zhu." For your first offense, I will apply for part-time service for you, and you will have to compensate for other people's medical expenses. β
This fee can't be directly given to the past, saying that I caused you to be hospitalized and compensated you. Rather, after the later liquidation, compensation in the form of winning the lottery or winnings. Like Ah Jin, in order to compensate for losses, this is still working. In this way, you can also learn the rules of the new demon entering the WTO in the part-time service.
This is done in 404 and is called "Replacing the Town with Work".
"Time is running out." The boat girl said pitifully, "Can you just let me race?" I won't pull people anymore, I know I lose to you, even if I can't win the first place, just let me participate again, I promise to be obedient. β
Mu Fei was speechless, "Uh...... You're different from everyone else, how do you join? "If it just wants to get into the water, it's honest, it saves time for education, the problem is that everyone has changed the fiberglass hull, and she agrees that the dragon boat team will not agree.
"It's not impossible." Tan Xiao suddenly said, "If you can persuade you to add a traditional dragon boat show before the race, you can also win a performance income." β
His family runs various performances all year round, so he naturally thought of this. I don't participate in the competition, but I can go into the water, which is quite suitable.
"Really?" The boat girl said in surprise, "Then I can, take my new head to the competition, hum, don't give it to me, I don't have the old dragon head, I have my white tiger head!" β
Everyone: "............"
No, you say again what kind of head are you?? οΌοΌm..οΌ.
