The sky was still clear, the sun was approaching overhead, and the weather was slowly getting hotter.

The shore was delayed a lot because of the disturbance of the previous monk, and Li Hamu had also recovered his previous appearance at this time, drinking wine and enjoying the drum music, he naturally didn't know that the two people he wanted to catch were actually on the dragon boat.

As the sound of drums stopped, the village from before stood up again and said to the people in the boat: "I announce the official start of the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race, I count down to 10 times, and everyone can move forward with the oars."

At this moment, Du Yi and the Taoist on the boat, the four Zhu brothers and sisters were discussing how to quietly cross the river to the other side in the competition.

Zhu Sanmei first said:

"It's not simple, wait for the next row to be halfway through, we deliberately fall behind, lean towards the opposite bank, and when we cross the edge of the reeds, just go ashore by the side."

At this time, Zhu Er replied:

"Third sister, you are too simple, if you do this, won't the people of our entire ship be implicated, besides, there are boats in the middle of the river from time to time to supervise the competition. It's no problem for us to go, but what about them, even if they get to the ferry and there are four fewer people, how can they explain, if you are disobedient, I will send you home tonight."

After listening to Zhu Sanmei's words, the Taoist chief said:

"Zhu Yatou is right, but we can use a little trick, but today we are going to get wet and suffer a little, Zhu Yatou and Zhu Er's brothers don't need to accompany us to suffer, but we can reunite with us after crossing the river at the ferry in front, and I don't forget the brother, you can know the water nature. ”

Don't forget to reply at this time:

"I grew up in the water nearby, how can I not know the nature of the water, but the Taoist wants to fall behind directly as Zhu Sanmei said, and when the boat docks not far from the opposite bank, the two of us will act out a picture of accidentally falling into the river?"

The Taoist chief said to a few people with an admiring face on the side: "Yes, it's really smart not to forget my brother, and you will know what I mean when you say it."

At this time, Zhu Sanmei, who was puffing out her mouth on the side, interjected again: "It's such a fun thing, I'm going to jump down later, I don't want to take a boat, I want to have fun with you." Zhu Sanmei was about to say more, but Zhu Er slapped him twice with his hand behind him and didn't speak, it seemed that he was still afraid that his brother would really send him home, in fact, Zhu Sanmei secretly thought in her heart, "Wait a minute, I'll jump first, I see if you still let me follow."

At this moment, on the shore, the village chief had counted to the last "ten", and all the dragon boats began to charge in the direction of the ferry.

Although Zhu Sanmei is a girl, she doesn't have much strength, and she doesn't have much strength to paddle, but Zhu Er's paddle is full of strength, but she has also exercised since she was a child, so she was still at the forefront at the beginning.

Wherewhere the dragon boat passed, egrets and wild ducks were chattering on the side full of complaints, obviously disturbing Yaxing, who was looking for fish in the river.

On both sides of the bank, many villagers watched the game and cheered for the participating families.

After a while, Du did not forget that the dragon boat they rowed was almost close to the reeds on the opposite bank of the river, and several people also slowed down their paddling speed at this time, although they moved forward on the surface, they quietly rowed in the direction of the reeds on the opposite bank.

The other people in the same boat did not forget to give them two ingots of silver, and they were full of joy and cooperated with the four of them.

There are already a few ships behind that have gradually surpassed this one, and rushed in the direction of the ferry, after all, it is rare to have such a good reward, and they must be desperately trying to get it.

After a while, I didn't forget that the boat was less than five feet away from the other side of the river, and at this time, a supervising boat in front of the river saw that a racing boat was rowing in the wrong direction and violated the direction of the racing boat, so he approached the boat.

At this time, the Taoist chief patted his back and did not forget to understand the meaning naturally, and was about to act out a seasickness and fall into the river, but he had heard a splash in the water, and someone was transferred into the water, and he saw that it was Zhu Sanmei.

After Zhu Sanmei fell into the water, she kept crying for help, only to find out that he didn't know water at all. Zhu Er next to him was also anxious, although Zhu Er knew a little about water, it was still difficult to protect himself in this few meters of deep river, and he didn't dare to go down to save him.

Seeing this, Du Buyi immediately picked up the package next to him and jumped into the water, hugged Zhu Sanmei, and dived into the water. Seeing this, the Taoist chief said to Zhu Er in the boat:

"Second son Zhu, I have no choice, I'll take the first step, Zhu girl and I will protect his safety, and the troublesome son will deal with the inspection later, and we will meet in Xiangyang City."

After speaking, he also grabbed his luggage and jumped into the river.

After a while, the water had slowly calmed down, and the patrol boat rowed over.

A young man dressed as an official in the boat asked Zhu Er and them on the boat:

"Why did you end up here, why are you only seven of you?"

Zhu Er returns:

"The other three people in our boat are helpers recruited from a neighboring town with me, and they all have eighty-year-old mothers at home, and they are almost running out of rice to feed their old mothers, so they came to this gang in the hope of sharing some rice grain, but they didn't expect them to get seasick halfway through rowing, and dragged us here, just now they accidentally fell into the river.

Because of the depth of the water, I and these brothers on the boat are average, no one dares to go into the water to rescue, can you go into the water to rescue a few fellow villagers for us, I hope that good people have good rewards, you can help us, otherwise their eighty-year-old mother will starve to death without her son, please don't have a son, please be an official. ”

The little prince, who has been pampered since he was a child, can say these words at this time, which is indeed extraordinary.

When the official on the patrol ship heard Zhu Er's words, he believed it, and he was afraid of causing trouble, so he said to Zhu Er: "It's okay, let's hurry back to the game, anyway, those people are not from our town, and it doesn't matter to us if they fall into the river and die."

Before the official could finish speaking, he had already instructed the patrol ship to leave.

At this time, Zhu Er did not forget to say in the direction of the patrol ship: "Please take pity on my friend's eighty-year-old mother, please save my friends."

didn't wait for the patrol boat to go away, Zhu Er and the others began to row the boat in the direction of the Luohan Temple ferry, there were three less, and there was a lot of delay, and when they arrived at the ferry, it was naturally the last boat in the competition, and the other people on the boat did not mention this matter because they shared the silver.
