The quicksand rolls away, and the Han River swims like a beach on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is the peak period of the dragon boat race.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient festival in our country since ancient times, and it is more grand since the commemoration of the great writer and patriotic hero Qu Yuan, especially in the former hometown of Qu Yuan and now in Chudi, Luohan Town is also in the core part of Chu in the past.

Luohan Town goes a little northwest to the riverside, today seems to be very lively, more than a dozen dragon boats across the river, almost all of them almost occupy three points of the river. Each one was just about three feet long, one after the other, neatly lined up in a row.

Each boat was accompanied by 20 men, all of whom were bare-chested and muscular, arranged in two rows, each holding an oar. The drums and trumpeters on the shore kept playing the southern rhyme of Chu Feng, and the readers kept reciting Qu Yuan's famous poem Hebo:

Swim with women in the Nine Rivers

Rushing to the wind and stirring up the water

Ride the waterwheel and cover it

Set up two dragons and cockroaches

Deng Kunlun looked around

The heart is soaring

The sun and the river are twilight, and they forget to return

......

Perhaps this also reflects the fact that the nearby fishermen make a living from the river, and the river is naturally high in their hearts, and it just happens to be lyrical with this river uncle.

From time to time, there are also a few people dressed as brocade guards on the shore.

On the middle of the river on a dragon boat, but there are a few different people, the first one on the left of the dragon boat is a little scholar in a white shirt, holding the oar, very happy.

Next to him was a young man about fifteen years old, with slightly white skin and a noble son's air.

On the right side of the young man is a cloth dress, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a lot of green mud splashed on his face, as if he intends to hide his appearance, but the breath of his kind relatives cannot be concealed.

In the first row in front of the middle-aged man, there is a young man with waist-length hair, melon seed face, and big eyes, his face is also splashed with green mud, his arms are black, but his body looks unusually white, especially the dividing line between his arms and his body is like a picture of a white-fronted tiger facing a black python. These four people are Du Don't forget, Wang Daochang and Zhu Houxi brothers and sisters.

After Du Buyi and the Taoist escaped from the town inn last night, they went directly to the fishing village where they lived.

Wang Daochang also introduced his identity to Don't forget, in fact, Du Daochang is also a scholar, he already knew his identity after seeing the portrait yesterday, and he has always admired and admired Wang Daochang, otherwise he wouldn't have rescued Wang Daochang desperately last night.

Everyone in the world knows that Wang Yangming is a maverick person, although he is an official, he is too upright, and he has offended many dignitaries of the dynasty, including Jiang Bin, a powerful minister, and Yang Yanhe, a scholar of the dynasty.

Jiang Bin is different, he was born a ruffian, and later had to join the army, relying on climbing relationships, and now the first person next to Emperor Zhu Houzhao is no one.

Later, because he suppressed the rebellion of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao with Wang Yangming, Jiang Bin did not get the credit, but was beaten by Wang Yangming for Jiang Bin's crimes. Therefore, Jiang Bin has always held a grudge against Wang Yangming, and always tried every means to get rid of this thorn in his eye, and slandered in front of Emperor Zhu Houzhao several times, Zhu Houzhao is just playful, and he is not a mediocre master, so he naturally knows in his heart, and he does not want to do such a thing that is scolded by the world, so he has always ignored it.

Jiang Bin was frustrated in front of the emperor, fortunately met Wang Yangming voluntarily abandoned the official and went into hiding, it happened that the fasting ceremony that Wudang was about to hold was a rare encounter in a hundred years, Jiang Bin also found this opportunity, presided over the ceremony in the name of the imperial court, although Wudang did not want the court to participate, but there was no choice.

Wang Yangming also apprenticed to Yu Taisong, the former head of Wudang, so naturally he will not be absent from this ceremony.

Jiang Bin took this opportunity to privately dispatch hundreds of Jinyiwei cronies, intending to secretly kill Wang Yangming on his way to Wudang to vent his past grievances. Because Wang Yangming is too famous, Jiang Bin doesn't dare to do too much on the surface.

Although Du does not forget to live in the fishing village of Luohan Town, Luohan Town is an east-west, north-south traffic artery, relying on the Jingxiang Ancient Road, the west can pass Bashu, the south can reach Hunan and Guangdong, the north can reach the Central Plains, and go down the Han River to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Because of the traffic arteries, the entire Luohan Town is also very well-informed about the outside world, and I can't complain that the second child of the Juxiang Inn is talking nonsense all day long.

Du did not forget that he had naturally heard of their festivals, so there was a thrilling scene last night to save the king.

Du Bu is a relatively Mu Na person, he always likes to drink alone, be in a quiet daze, and don't like to talk, so he took the Taoist to a relative's house near the fishing village.

Except for bringing tea and water to the Taoist chief all night, there was not much communication. Wang Daochang, after getting along with Du Buyi for a while, he gradually began to appreciate and never forget, and he could see that Du Bu Bu was in a dull mood, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to enlighten and enlighten him, but Du Bu Bu seemed to be deliberately avoiding, and he couldn't find that opportunity.

It wasn't until I got up the next morning that I just went out and met the little prince Zhu Houxi, who was also going to Wudang Mountain to participate in the fast.

The little prince brother and sister have met a few times, but they didn't say much, and they introduced each other when they met, and the identity of the little prince was inconvenient to reveal, so he called himself Zhu Er to Du Buyi, and the scholar next to him was his sister Zhu Sanmei.

When the four of them came to the riverside and the ferry port of Luohan Town, they found that there were many Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers nearby who were checking pedestrians.

Finding that the situation was not very good, the little prince brothers and sisters didn't care, in order to take care of the Taoist and not forget, they avoided it with them, and went upstream along the Han River to find a boat to cross the river.

I didn't forget to be afraid that people would find out, so I took the Taoist chief to someone I knew, replaced the Taoist chief with an ordinary person's appearance, and didn't forget to paste some green mud on the face of himself and the Taoist chief.

I happened to walk a few miles and met nearby villagers who were celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race.

It's really a narrow road, and suddenly I found that the general who held the portrait of the Taoist chief as an official in the inn yesterday was sitting on the sidelines watching the ceremony, and many brocade guards dressed as men were guarding beside him.

Sitting next to the military general was a richly dressed wealthy businessman, with a fat head and a big face, with a treacherous face, talking and laughing at the general, who was the richest man in the local area, Jia Fugui, and Yingying's biological father.

So when he saw Jia Yuanwai, his expression became extremely indignant, because he didn't forget that he always felt that Yingying was forced to marry by Jia Fugui.

It seems that the leader of the general, in addition to private official business, also likes to come and join in the fun.

The four of them took this opportunity to replace the villagers they knew on the dragon boat, planning to take advantage of the opportunity to cross the river.

I didn't forget that I wanted to send the Taoist to board the boat and then go home to pack my luggage, but the ferry port had been inspected, and even my portrait came out, so I am afraid that the official was already rushing to his home.

Fortunately, I quietly went to the tomb of the king of Chu last night, wrapped a bag of gold and jade jewelry in a cloth casually, and divided it into two parts

Walking and walking, I didn't worry that the next road chief was safe, so I planned to accompany the road Changjiang first. After all, I was born here, and I am familiar with the surrounding area.

At this time, the sound of drumming and recitation on the shore slowly stopped, and suddenly Jia Yuanwai stood up

Said out loud:

"Today is the annual Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the first dragon boat race jointly organized by our three fishing villages, so more people can participate. ”

After Jia Yuanwai finished speaking, he pointed to the general and said:

"You may not know that this general is General Zhang Hamu, the deputy chief soldier of the Xuanfu of the border pass, this time there is an important matter to pass through here, and come to us for this dragon boat race, everyone welcomes the next Zhang Zongbing. ”

After speaking, many women and children in the vicinity began to wave their hands to express their welcome, and many people talked in private.

"Zhang Hamu, I think it's Zhang Toad, look at his fat legs and round body, and there is a birthmark on his face, and he even struggles to walk, what is the difference between this and a toad, where can he go to the battlefield to fight, and he can still be a ......general!" Zhu Sanmei on a dragon boat on the river pointed to Zhang Hamu on the shore and sneered.

was about to continue to talk when Zhu Er said:

"Third sister, you're not too young, girls pay attention to their image when they speak, if you're at home, your aunt will definitely punish you" interrupted.

"Ha, Zhang Toad is a good name, he does look like a toad, although I was at the same table with him yesterday, I haven't paid attention to it."

Du Bu Bu then continued:

"Second brother Zhu, don't keep complaining about the third sister Zhu, the third sister Zhu estimates that she rarely goes out to play, so don't be too strict with her."

"That's right, brother, you always like to manage me, or don't forget what my brother said is right, at home, my father is gone, my aunt controls me strictly, like a cage, I finally come out, you just pity my sister and me." On the side, Zhu Sanmei looked at her eyes a little shy at this time, and even called out her brother.

Due to the excessive dragon boat competition, the music stopped, and the crowd on the shore was relatively noisy, so several people in the boat talked and laughed loudly, and Jia Yuanwai and Zhang Hamu on the shore naturally couldn't hear it.
