Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 1278 Dragon Boat Competition

The annual dragon boat race is held in the section of the river next to Gushui Village. That section of the river is wide, the river is straight, the water is very gentle, and there is a large flat sandy land for people to watch.

As early as three days ago, the government had come forward to build a high platform color shed at the best location on the river beach, and made all kinds of preparations so that dignitaries could watch here.

The people are not so particular, they squeeze and stop on both sides of the river, as long as they have a standing position.

Early that morning, Lian Fangzhou and Li Fu joined the Sansiyamen people and the masters of the Liang family and Le Zheng family. The carriages and sedan chairs were endless, and they drove out of the city to the river beach of Gushui Village.

When you lift the driving curtain, you can see from a long distance a large area of ​​people's heads on the river beach, and there are faint noises of laughter, sometimes mixed with the sharp and high-pitched shouts of vendors.

The sun was shining warmly, and the river water was slightly muddy because of the long rain and the clear water, but it was more suitable for a fierce competition than the clear water.

When they arrived at the place, the men rushed to the main stand surrounded by the three local governors. Mrs. Le Zheng smiled and invited Lian Fangzhou, Hu Dahai and Xu Cunren’s wives to sit down in the women’s stand, and everyone smiled and invited each other to push. Up.

Lian Fangzhou took Xu'er's hand and walked with him, followed by Yingchun, Panxia, ​​Xueliu, Xueqing, and the nanny and maid, there were dozens of people beside him.

Everyone pushed to sit down and laugh, and the gongs and drums were noisy, and they rang fiercely, and they stopped talking and looked over there.

Lian Fangzhou saw Xu'er looking straight towards the pier by the river with a pair of eyes. The helpless man was small and short, a little far apart, and the look was not real, so she leaned over and supported Xu'er's shoulder and laughed softly. Said: "Xu Er would you like to look over there?"

Xu'er's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly with "Yes".

"You have to be careful, there are so many people over there, don't ask people to squeeze them out of the river!" Lian Fangzhou smiled.

Xuer hurriedly said: "Mother, I won't!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled, and ordered the grandmother and Yingchun, Panxia, ​​Xueliu, and Xueqing to accompany Xu'er. "Today there are so many people, you must follow the young master nicely, and leave one step away! "

With the care and attention of the nurse and the cleverness and martial arts of Pan Xia, they are more than enough to protect Xu'er.

Yingchun waited eagerly to agree, but couldn't help but whispered: "Madam, the servants are gone, isn't there no one around Madam?"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "What! I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, I don't need you! Besides, there are Hongyu and Maixiang!"

Yingchun waited for a smile, thinking about today's grand and lively festival, there are so many noble people present, expecting that there will be no change, so he retired and accompanied Xuer.

Before the official dragon boat race, there was a ceremony to worship the river god. With the high-pitched singing of the priests, flowers and wine were thrown into the river. A team of vigorous mountain people danced in unison, singing in unison to echo the priest's singing. , Full of vigorous power, full of masculine beauty.Everyone listened to God in a moment.

Lian Fangzhou had never seen such an authentic ancient worship ceremony, which was more shocking than others.

When the ritual was over, it was a trick performance by the 24 dragon boat teams, which also allowed the teams to warm up, familiarize themselves with the venue, and find their feelings.

Accompanied by the fierce gongs and drums, the chants of the various fleets, and the applause of the people along the river, the whole river section fell into a lively carnival.

When the game officially started, each time the six teams competed, with the bright red flag waving, the six dragon boats were like arrows from the string. You rushed to row on the water, "Come on! Come on!" The tidy call is tense and enthusiastic, and the ringing is suppressed!

The female relatives did not know when they left their seats one after another, crowded on the side of the railing facing the river, watching and applauding excitedly.

The maids and women love to watch the excitement more than the masters. At this time, no one will be confined to their subordinates. The maids also looked for the gaps and squeezed and laughed at each other, chatting and discussing disputes. The team is the strongest, who is the best rower, which dragon boat is the most beautiful, etc.

Originally, Lian Fangzhou was talking and laughing with a group of girlfriends, but suddenly felt a little anxious. He felt that he was drinking too much tea just now, so he turned and left when everyone was not paying attention.

When I raised my eyes and saw Hongyu, Maixiang, etc., they were also watching with gusto, so they didn't call them, so I got off the viewing platform.

The small solution is in a temporary shed not far away, just a few steps away.

Unexpectedly, Lian Fangzhou was about to come out, suddenly someone hooped her neck from behind, his nose and mouth were tightly covered by a wet veil.

She never dreamed of being at such a lively scene. Among the crowds of these households, there were people who had the courage to attack her, and she couldn't help but feel cold, and the desperate struggle was futile!

Consciousness suddenly sank, and instantly fell into the dark abyss, Lian Fangzhou smiled bitterly to herself: She was careless again!I hope, just for her alone...

At this time, the outside is still noisy, drums are noisy, cheers are noisy, everyone's attention is attracted by the fierce competition on the river, no one noticed it, and set up a temporary building here. In the wooden house, an unsurprisingly unsurprisingly-looking wooden box was carried out and loaded into a carriage.

The coachman raised his whip, his horse hooves stomped, and the sound of the chariot was reeling farther and farther away from the bustle. Soon, it disappeared...

When Lian Fangzhou woke up, he was in a simple room.

Through the gaps in the windows, sunlight came in. From the brightness and angle of the sunlight, if it had not been a day, it would have been within half an hour of her being hijacked!

Judging from her feelings, the latter is more likely.

As soon as she struggled, she found that her body was firmly tied up with hemp rope into zongzi, and there was a ball of cloth in her mouth.

Yeah, I don’t know who managed to get him, how could he let his hands, feet, and mouth be free?Lian Fangzhou smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Wake up? Look, hehe, we're seeing each other again!" A coquettish voice sounded, and a cold snort full of jealousy.

Lian Fangzhou tried his best to look up and see the faces of the two women in front of him. The problem he was thinking about why she woke her up so quickly was solved, and he suddenly understood: it was them!If they don't show off in front of themselves, how can they be willing?

The proud woman with a coquettish smile was Zhu Yuying! And the other one with a long scar obliquely on his left side is naturally Deng Menghan!
