Chapter 45 Pingle Village, the enemy for generations
The Shahe Dragon Boat Race is organized voluntarily by the private sector. Many urban villages in Huadu will sign up to participate, such as nearby Chebei, Liede, Zhucun, Xiancun, etc.
The reason why the Shahe Dragon Boat Race is famous is that the most exciting part is that the Shahe River is very narrow, with an average width of only 6 meters, and is very curved, so it is difficult to control large dragon boats.
Especially in the Shuanglong Bridge section, the river here is S-shaped.
After the 25-meter-long dragon boat passed the Dalong Bridge, it needed to make a sharp 90-degree turn to the right. Before the crew could breathe a sigh of relief, it had to make a sharp 90-degree turn to the left in order to successfully pass the Xiaolong Bridge.
Commonly known as "one drum turns three turns", the most thrilling stage is also the most attractive.
The Double Dragon Bridge section is a great test of the cooperation of the Dragon Boat Team members.
Especially the six helmsmen need to do it in one go. If they are not careful, they may crash the faucet or even capsize the boat. It will become a big joke in the entire Huadu, and the villagers will not be able to hold their heads up even when they go out.
Therefore, the Shahe Dragon Boat Race is not only about speed, but also about skill and courage.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a public holiday. People who go to work, go to school, or go on business trips will rush back to cheer for the dragon boat fleet in their village.
Even bedridden patients would borrow the second floor of a villager's house along the river to watch the dragon boat race from upstairs.
Early in the morning, Lin Musen and Wang Wenjuan, as the elders in the village, had gone to the village to help.
Lin Musen was assigned to the medical service point at the starting point as the "event health doctor", while Wang Wenjuan went to the ancestral hall to prepare a celebration banquet with other women in the village.
Only Lin Sanqi was still asleep, fully demonstrating the mental outlook of contemporary college students who are unable to do anything and eat everything they want.
Lin Bingqiao opened the door and became angry when she saw her brother still lying down:
"Brother, why are you still asleep? Get up quickly. If you get there too late, you won't be able to get a good seat at Shuanglong Bridge~~~"
Every year, the Shahe Dragon Boat Race attracts tens of thousands of tourists to watch, but only villagers from Shilou Village and Pingle Village are eligible to occupy the most thrilling section of the Shuanglong Bridge.
Because there are private houses next to Shuanglong Bridge, unless people from the village are allowed to go to the house to watch, strangers from outside are of course not allowed to enter.
However, the seats are also limited. Generally, it is first come, first served. Those who arrive early can occupy the C seat by the river and watch the dragon boat race up close.
Lin Sanqi yawned and looked at her phone. It was already 8 o'clock, so she quickly got up, washed her hands, wet her hair, and styled her hair in a very boring way.
Wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of large pants, and a pair of flip-flops, I took my sister out with me.
Along the way, Lin Bingqiao was so angry that she kept urging: "Boss, can you go faster?"
Lin Sanqi replied angrily:
"Why are you anxious? Lin Hai must have reserved a good seat for us, and the seat he reserved must be the best and the front of the river port. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet!"
"Hmph, I won't fight you!"
Lin Sanqi was ranked 13th among his peers, and Lin Hai was ranked 14th. They were of the same age, from the same clan, and were classmates from kindergarten to high school. They were pretty close to each other and had a close relationship.
Lin Hai's family is next to Shuanglong Bridge, and the yard faces the river. On the day of the dragon boat competition every year, Lin Hai's family will not let anyone in except close relatives.
Because of the close relationship between Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai, Lin Hai would help Lin Sanqi occupy a good position early every year, and it would be difficult for anyone to do it.
Ten minutes later, Lin Sanqi and Lin Bingqiao had arrived at the front door of Lin Hai's house, and Lin Hai couldn't wait to open the security door.
"Qizai, why did you come here? If you don't come, your position and that of my younger sister will be taken away by those relatives."
Lin Sanqi was not polite. After entering the door, she looked left and right: "Hurry up, is there anything to eat? I was woken up by Ah Bing early in the morning and I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
Lin Hai pointed at a box on the table and said, "There are cold rice rolls."
Lin Sanqi didn't choose, so she took the box and walked to the river, taking the rice rolls and eating them while walking.
At this time, the Shuanglong Bridge was already crowded with people. At first glance, it was densely packed with people. The north bank of the river was full of villagers from Shilou Village, and the south bank was full of villagers from Pingle Village.
As soon as Lin Sanqi, Lin Bingqiao, and Lin Hai sat down, they saw a group of young people chattering among the villagers of Pingle Village opposite, and this group of young people was quite familiar.
Lin Hai touched Lin Sanqi and said with a smile: "Did you see that Miss Yin is here too!"
Lin Sanqi was dazzled: "Where is it?"
Lin Hai stretched out his hand and nodded: "Over there, you pig, the one wearing a white hat, sunglasses, and a small green electric fan in his hand."
Lin Sanqi put her hands on her eyes and searched carefully, and sure enough she saw Yin Lianyi sitting in the crowd, chatting with a few girls next to her.
As if feeling the gaze from the other side, Yin Lianyi raised her head and met Lin Sanqi. Their eyes collided and sparks flew everywhere!
Yin Lianyi wrinkled her nose and waved her fist at Lin Sanqi.
Lin Sanqi also extended his middle finger, and then gestured downward a few times. Lin Hai immediately raised his middle finger.
This time, a few small actions immediately set off the young people in the two villages. Some of the angry young people had already jumped up and cursed.
The villagers nearby were already used to it. The older people on both sides were laughing and cheering, happy to see the young people despising each other and greeting each other to the eighteenth generation of each other's ancestors.
Although Shilou Village and Pingle Village are feuding families, they share the same elementary school and junior high school.
As you can imagine, the feud between the two sides was also brought to school. Students from the two villages started fighting in kindergarten and continued until they graduated from high school. They have been in love with each other for more than ten or twenty years.
Yin Lianyi was actually a classmate of Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai. They were in the same class from kindergarten to high school. It was a bad fate.
Yin Lianyi is 168cm tall, her weight is unknown, and her bust size is unknown, but according to Lin Sanqi's years of analysis and research, she should be at least C.
The figure is absolutely in golden proportion, concave where it should be, convex where it should be, and just looking at her back makes you want to commit a crime.
It doesn’t matter that she has a good figure, but she has a face that is a disaster for the country and the people, and has long black and shiny hair. She is recognized by the perverts at school as “Little Liu Yifei”.
In front of others, Yin Lianyi looks like a goddess, attracting countless boys to fight for her since she was a child.
But in front of old classmates and enemies such as Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai, Yin Lianyi is just a dark-hearted woman.
In elementary school, because he was the class monitor, Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai kept notes in notebooks and gave small reports to the teacher. As a result, the two of them were often made to stand and copy homework by the teacher.
When they were in junior high school, they met once at the stairs. It was Yin Lianyi who knocked Lin Sanqi down with her foot, causing Lin Sanqi to fall and eat shit.
But when a teacher passed by, Yin Lianyi, who had a bad smile on her face, immediately covered her head and cried loudly, complaining to the teacher that Lin Sanqi brushed her hair.
As a result, Lin Sanqi received a serious warning and was deeply despised by all the teachers and students in the school for three years for bullying a female classmate.
