Chapter 45: Pingle Village, a Generational Enemy
The Shahe Dragon Boat Race is organized spontaneously by the public. Many urban villages in Huadu will sign up to participate, such as the nearby Chepi, Liede, Zhucun, Xiancun, etc.
The most exciting part of the Shahe Dragon Boat Race is that the Shahe River is very narrow, with an average width of only 6 meters, and is very curved, so large dragon boats are difficult to control.
Especially in the Shuanglong Bridge section, the river channel is S-shaped.
After the 25-meter-long dragon boat passes through the Big Dragon Bridge, it needs to turn sharply 90 degrees to the right. Before the crew can breathe a sigh of relief, it needs to turn sharply 90 degrees to the left in order to pass through the Small Dragon Bridge smoothly.
Commonly known as "one drum and three turns", this is the most thrilling and exciting section of the race and also the most attractive place.
The double dragon segment is a real test of the dragon boat crew's coordination.
Especially the six helmsmen, they need to work in one go. If they are not careful, they may crash the dragon head or even capsize the boat, which will become a big joke in the whole Huadu and the villagers will not be able to hold their heads up when they go out.
Therefore, the Shahe Dragon Boat Race is not only about speed, but also about skills and courage.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a public holiday. People who are working, studying, or on business trips will rush back on this day to cheer for the dragon boat team in their village.
Even bedridden patients would watch the dragon boat race from the second floor of the villagers' homes along the river.
Early in the morning, Lin Musen and Wang Wenjuan, as the older generation of the village, went to the village to help.
Lin Musen was assigned to the medical service point at the starting station as the "event health doctor", while Wang Wenjuan had to go to the ancestral hall with other village women to prepare a celebration banquet.
Only Lin Sanqi was still sleeping soundly, which fully demonstrated the mental outlook of contemporary college students who are incompetent at anything and eat everything without leaving any residue.
Lin Bingqiao opened the door quickly and was furious when she saw her brother still lying there:
"Brother, why are you still asleep? Hurry up and get up. If you go 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 and exciting Double Dragon Bridge section.
Because there are private houses near Shuanglong Bridge, only people from the village are allowed to visit their homes, and strangers from outside are of course not allowed to enter.
However, the seats are limited and it is generally on a first-come, first-served basis. Only those who arrive early can occupy the C position by the river and watch the dragon boat race up close.
Lin Sanqi yawned, checked his phone and saw it was already 8 o'clock, so he quickly got up, washed himself hastily, wet his hair, and styled it in a very coquettish way.
He wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of shorts, and a pair of flip-flops, and went out with his sister.
Along the way, Lin Bingqiao was so angry that he kept urging: "Boss, can you please walk faster?"
Lin Sanqi replied unhappily:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Lin Hai must have reserved a spot for us, and it must be the best spot right at the front of the river pier. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet!"
"Humph, I won't fight you!"
Lin Sanqi is ranked 13th among his peers, and Lin Hai is ranked 14th. They are the same age, from the same clan, and have been classmates from kindergarten to high school. They are typical childhood friends and have a very close relationship.
Lin Hai's house is next to Shuanglong Bridge, and the yard faces the river. Every year on the dragon boat race day, Lin Hai's family will not let anyone else in except close relatives.
Because Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai are close friends, Lin Hai would help Lin Sanqi secure a good spot early every year, and no one else could help.
Ten minutes later, Lin Sanqi and Lin Bingqiao arrived at the front door of Lin Hai's house, and Lin Hai couldn't wait to open the security door.
"Qizi, why did you come so late? If you don't come soon, your and Ximei's positions will be taken away by those relatives."
Lin Sanqi was not polite either. He looked around as soon as he entered the room:
"Hurry up, is there anything to eat? Ah Bing woke me up early in the morning and I haven't had breakfast yet."
Lin Hai pointed at a box on the table and said, "There are cold rice noodle rolls."
Lin Sanqi didn't pick and choose. He took the box and walked towards the river, eating the rice rolls as he walked.
At this time, the Shuanglong Bridge was crowded with people. At a glance, it was densely packed. 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 seemed quite familiar.
Lin Hai nudged Lin Sanqi and said with a smile, "See? Miss Yin is here too!"
Lin Sanqi was dazzled: "Where is it?"
Lin Hai pointed with his hand, "Over there, you pig, the one wearing a white hat, sunglasses, and a small green fan in his hand."
Lin Sanqi put his hands over his eyes and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw Yin Lianyi sitting in the crowd, chatting with a few girls next to her.
As if sensing the gaze from the other side, Yin Lianyi raised her head and met Lin Sanqi's gaze. Their eyes collided and sparks flew!
Yin Lianyi wrinkled her nose and waved her little fist at Lin Sanqi.
Lin Sanqi also raised his middle finger and gestured downwards a few times. Lin Hai immediately followed suit.
Now, a few small actions instantly set off the anger of the young people from the two villages, and some of the angry young people jumped up and cursed.
The villagers nearby were no longer surprised. The older people on both sides laughed and cheered, happy to see the young people despise each other and greet each other's ancestors.
Although Shilou Village and Pingle Village are arch-enemies, they share the same elementary and junior high school.
As you can imagine, the feud between the two sides was also brought to the school. Students from the two villages started fighting in kindergarten and continued to fight until they graduated from high school. They had been loving each other for more than ten or twenty years.
Yin Lianyi is actually a classmate of Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai. They have been in the same class from kindergarten to high school. It is really a bad fate.
Yin Lianyi is 168cm tall, her weight and chest circumference are unknown, but according to Lin Sanqi's years of analysis and research, her chest circumference should be at least C.
Her figure is absolutely in golden proportions, with the right curves and curves. Just looking at her from behind makes me want to commit a crime.
It's okay that she has a good figure, but her face is so beautiful that it can bring disaster to the country and the people. She has long, shiny black hair and is known as the "Little Liu Yifei" by all the perverts in the school.
In front of others, Yin Lianyi looks like a goddess, and has attracted countless boys to fight for her favor since she was a child.
But in front of old classmates and old enemies such as Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai, Yin Lianyi is just a black-bellied psychopath.
In elementary school, he relied on his position as class monitor to write notes in Lin Sanqi and Lin Hai's notebooks and report them to the teacher, causing them to be often punished by the teacher to stand in the corner and copy homework.
When they were in junior high school, they met at the stairs once. It was Yin Lianyi who tripped Lin Sanqi with her foot, causing him to fall flat on his face.
But when a teacher passed by, Yin Lianyi, who had a smirk on her face, immediately covered her head and burst into tears, complaining to the teacher that Lin Sanqi had pulled her hair.
As a result, Lin Sanqi received a serious warning and was deeply despised by teachers and students in the school for three years because of bullying female classmates.
