Chapter 203 203. The winning dragon boat

Shen Ruoxi: "I heard a sound."

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, a long and wide river appeared in front of us. People were standing on both sides of the river bank, and there were many stall sellers. There were so many people at the moment, and you could definitely make a small profit by buying things here.

There is a wooden bridge in the middle of the river. Ten long dragon boats are docked in front of the wooden bridge. The heads and tails of the dragon boats are the same dragon heads. At this time, those people are decorating the dragon boats.

"The county magistrate will come to host the dragon boat competition in person soon."

"The county magistrate is coming again? Then this year's dragon boat race will definitely be good."

"The top dragon boat will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. These people have been here to practice for a long time."

Everyone was talking a lot, and there was a lot of noise on both sides of the river.

Shen Ruoxi stood on a long stone behind the crowd. She didn't want to squeeze with them. There were too many people and she might fall into the river if she got crowded.

Zhong Zhouyi went to buy some snacks and said, "Ruoxi, here they are for you."

Shen Ruoxi had just eaten and her stomach was very full, but she still took the snack in her hand and ate one: "This snack is quite delicious."

Zhong Zhouyi's eyes were very soft: "You eat slowly, and I will buy it for you when you're done."

Shen Ruoxi was a little afraid to look at Zhong Zhouyi. It was like a gentle trap that could easily fall into and not be able to climb out.

A voice came from the side: "Miss Ruoxi, are you here to watch the dragon boat race too?"

Shen Ruoxi looked over and saw that the person greeting her was Mu Wenyao, the son of the county magistrate: "Master Mu, are you coming to play too?"

Mu Wenyao was accompanied by several of his classmates, who all bowed their hands to Shen Ruoxi.

Mu Wenyao is personable and gentle, and his conversation is very gentle: "It's rare to have such a lively gathering in the county. Come and join in the fun."

Shen Ruoxi smiled: "There are so many people. It might be difficult for Master Mu and your friends to find a place."

Mu Wenyao glanced around: "It doesn't matter, just participate."

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said: "Then please."

Mu Wenyao and others merged into the crowd.

Shen Wanni, who walked up behind, had a panoramic view of the scene just now, her eyes were filled with jealousy. She had never spoken to Mu Wenyao like this, so why should Shen Ruoxi?

She wanted Shen Ruoxi to come over and said in a bad tone: "Shen Ruoxi, you are engaged now, so don't hook up with her."

Zhong Zhouyi didn't like hearing this anymore, so he stood nearby. Ruoxi greeted them normally, but why did she just flirt with them: "Shen Wanni, is it inappropriate for you to say that?"

Shen Wani listened to Zhong Zhouyi's words and then noticed Zhong Zhouyi: "I just want to remind you, you don't have to be so excited. Take a good look at Shen Ruoxi, otherwise you will have no time to regret."

After saying that, Shen Wanni left.

Shen Ruoxi was speechless: "Don't pay attention to her, Shen Wanni probably has some serious illness."

Zhong Zhouyi frowned: "She is your cousin, why is she talking about you like that?"

Shen Ruoxi said vaguely: "I don't want to deal with her, so let's not talk about her anymore. When I talk about her, I feel bad."

Zhong Zhouyi nodded: "Let's go there."

"Yeah." Shen Ruoxi walked in the opposite direction to Shen Wani.

On the other side, Shen Wanni walked towards Mu Wenyao. She was so eager to get in touch with Mu Wenyao. In her last life, her relationship with Mu Wenyao was already relatively close, but now they didn't even speak. In the last few words, if you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get another chance in the future.

So Shen Wanni deliberately passed by Mu Wenyao, then pretended to fall and bumped her body into Mu Wenyao's arms.

Mu Wenyao hugged her out of reflex, and the others suddenly gave her ambiguous looks.

Shen Wani was quite satisfied with her fall. After she stood firm, she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for saving me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been injured."

Mu Wenyao was polite and said: "It's okay, no need to say thank you." After saying that, he walked aside.

Shen Wani was unwilling to let the chance encounter that she had finally created disappear, and quickly caught up with her: "Master, if it weren't for you, I'd probably make a fool of myself, why don't we go together?"

"There is no difference between men and women." Mu Wenyao's rejection was quite clear.

No matter how thick-skinned Shen Wani was, she had nothing to say, so she could only stand there and watch them go away: why couldn't she attract his attention?

After walking away, Zeng Ming couldn't help but said: "That girl just now seems to be interested in you?"

Mu Wenyao glanced at Zeng Ming, his eyes dark: "I don't like people who take the initiative to throw themselves into someone's arms."

Zeng Ming: "..."

A high-pitched voice rang out from the crowd: "It's time to place your bets. Look at the boat, buy one and pay four, buy one and pay four..."

Zhong Zhouyi asked Shen Ruoxi: "Would you like to choose one to place a bet?"

Shen Ruoxi thought for a while: "That's okay, you bet on that dragon boat?"

Zhong Zhouyi raised his head and looked at the dragon boats. They all looked the same, and there was really no clue. He thought for a while: "The third one?"

Shen Ruoxi thought for a moment: "I'll place the tenth bet."

Zhong Zhouyi asked: "Is there any basis for this?"

Shen Ruoxi waved her hand: "I just support the last one, I hope it will live up to expectations."

After listening to Shen Ruoxi's words, Zhong Zhouyi changed his mind: "Then I'll bet on the number one spot, and let it become the number one well-deserved."

So the two of them each bet one penny on the selected dragon boat.

In addition to them, there are many people placing bets, which support this matter.

Soon after the bets were placed, the dragon boat race began.

Ten dragon boats are lined up, with sixteen people in each dragon boat, and a drum is sandwiched in the middle of the dragon boat. Later, during the dragon boat race, one person will stand here and beat the drum to boost morale.

When everything was ready, the master handed over the gong and said, "Sir, please call to start."

The county magistrate said loudly: "Everyone, get ready, the dragon boat race has officially begun!" After saying this, he knocked the gong hard.

Ten dragon boats rushed out like arrows from the string, and the paddles of the boats were rowing like dragon legs, so fast that afterimages almost appeared.

As we rowed, the sequence appeared. Four boats in the middle were lagging behind, and the remaining six were still protecting the parallel.

After a while, another boat fell behind, and the remaining five dragon boats advanced together.

"Come on! Come on!"

Dragon boats began to settle one after another, and finally only Dragon Boat No. 1 and Dragon Boat No. 10 were left.

Zhong Zhouyi looked at the two dragon boats: "Ruoxi, do you think you win or I win?"

Shen Ruoxi said calmly: "No matter who of us wins, we both made money today."

Zhong Zhouyi smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Under the spotlight, Dragon Boat No. 10 surpassed Dragon Boat No. 1 and became the temporary leader.

The painted dragon boat has to be rowed back again.

The tenth dragon boat was the first to reach the limit position, and then the people on the dragon boat immediately turned their seats and moved back.

There is no doubt that the tenth dragon boat came out on top.
