Chapter 146: But into my heart
On the deserted river, orange buoys connected end to end enclose a square area.
In the center of the area there is a white plastic floating platform with a large basketball hoop on it.
There is also a nylon rope that passes through the middle of the floating platform to the other side and then comes back from the other side, like a paper clip.
There are two rowing boats moored by the river, each with a rower wearing a life jacket.
There are two small buckets in the passenger area of the boat, filled with ocean balls of the same color.
Everyone stood on the riverbank, curiously looking at the venue facilities arranged by the program team.
What is this for?!
Facing the guests' inquiring looks, Director Chu didn't keep them in suspense.
"Water pitching competition."
"Two groups of guests boarded the rowboats, each with one adult standing at the stern to pull the rope to steer the boat. The rest of the group threw ocean balls into a basket on the white platform."
"The countdown is four minutes. At the end of the four minutes, the team with the most ocean balls in the basket wins the round."
"The competition will be held in three rounds, and the adult sent out in each round cannot be the same person."
"It's important to note that the position of the platform will change with every passing minute."
"At the same time, the ocean balls used by adults and children are different colors, and the points scored by hitting them are also different. Adults get one point for hitting them, and children get five points for hitting them."
"To ensure safety, adults and children sit on opposite sides and take turns pitching the ball. Each pitching time is two minutes."
[Sounds like fun! Time to see who has the worst sense of direction [raises index finger]]
[Good review, the production team also knew to use buoys to block the ocean balls from floating away.]
[Interesting, interesting, very interesting. Let's start quickly, I can't wait! ! ! ]
…
The rules of the game are quite easy to understand, and the six groups of guests had no questions after listening to them.
After putting on life jackets, everyone was helped into the boat one by one.
The first game begins.
The rower sent by Xu Wanci's group was Yu Haoyu, and the one sent by Ji Wanci's group was Luo Yu'an.
Xu Wanci and Su Qingge sat on the same side and decided to let the three little guys vote first.
The ocean balls they got were purple and yellow.
The former is for adults and the latter is for children.
In addition to the nylon rope of the floating platform, there are two casting lines on the left and right sides of the area, which is a range that rowing boats cannot cross.
Each group was ready, and the whistle sounded.
The boatman and guests at the stern were the first to move.
The boatman pushed hard, while Yu Haoyu and Luo Yu'an pulled the rope to control the direction.
Bamboo poles were propped up on the riverbank, and the rowboat quickly left the shore.
At first, both boats were swimming well, but as they moved towards the central platform, they gradually deviated from their direction.
Yu Haoyu pulled the rope hard to change the direction of the rowboat, but found that he was too close and was about to hit the nylon rope that passed through the floating platform.
The boatman was so anxious that he cried out "Aiya" twice, reduced his strength in rowing, and even wanted to help.
Yu Haoyu hurriedly pushed the rope in the opposite direction, and the rowing boat turned away from the casting line.
On the other side, Luo Yu'an moved away from the casting line and headed straight towards the outer buoy without looking back.
[Two new boat drivers, where are you taking the guests? Will you be back for dinner tonight?]
[Seize the bamboo shoots, seize the bamboo shoots! I'm dying of laughter! If it weren't for the buoys, Luo Yu'an would have rushed into the ocean with the whole boatload [dog head].]
Goodbye, Mom~ I'm sailing away tonight. Don't worry about me, I have the oars of happiness and wisdom~
[Hahahaha, did you see the boatman's expression? He wanted to grab it and do it himself.]
Boatman: What's all this fuss? You're asking a guest to help you with something you can handle alone. Damn! It's hard to make money, and it's hard to do the work!
"Love" is like a hand that reaches out and then retracts. The little ones are so tired of holding the ocean ball, but why haven't they reached the throwing line yet? [Furious]
…
Coincidentally, Luo Yu'an also let the three little guys vote first.
Luo Yuchen endured it, but couldn't help but turned back to urge Luo Yu'an: "Dad, hurry over there."
His chubby little hand pointed at the floating platform that was getting farther and farther ahead.
Luo Yuan: "..."
Please be kind to newbies and give them more tolerance and love.
But he responded, "Okay, right away, I'll go right away."
The direction of the rowboat is controlled by pulling the rowing rope. Luo Yu'an tried hard to recall the boatman's instructions and tentatively pulled the rowing rope inward.
"Brother Yao, is that so?"
The boatman, Brother Yao, nodded hurriedly, "Yeah! Right, right, that's it, I used all my strength."
What I thought in my heart was that this brother has finally found the right path.
Ji Wan's three groups of rowing boats gradually approached the floating platform and finally stopped at the place with the shortest straight-line distance to the floating platform.
"Okay, kids, throw the ball!"
Luo Yu'an said hurriedly, fearing that the next second or minute would be up and the platform would start moving.
As soon as he finished speaking, white ocean balls flew out from the side of the rowboat.
The distance between the throwing line and the basket is 1.2 meters. Unlike the last paper airplane competition, because it is on the water, the force exerted by the people on the boat will cause the boat to shake slightly.
The ocean balls here were thrown out "swoosh", and the boat of Xu Wanci's group 3 had just arrived at the line.
The next second, a yellow ocean ball flew out with a whoosh.
[Hurry, hurry, babies, hurry up! ! ! ! If you don't, the platform will leave. ]
[I'm a little worried. Jiang Yan won the previous time with the paper airplane because he could fold Susan paper airplanes. Now he's throwing ocean balls, so it all depends on his own accuracy.]
[It's okay, it's okay. The three bastards on the other side seem to have average accuracy [covering their mouths and laughing].]
…
Unexpectedly but not completely unexpected, Jiang Yan's accuracy was still on point.
Four of the five made it into the basket.
Yin Lingyi is not that good, but he also performed well and was able to throw three or four out of five ocean balls into the net.
Although Shao Leyi is not as good as them, he is also trying hard.
Not long after it was thrown, the staff on the riverbank pulled the nylon rope and the floating platform moved a distance to the other side.
The boatmen also rowed forward.
The two 'novice boatmen' were equally strong and arrived at almost the same time.
After a while, the two minutes were up.
The platform changed its position again, this time returning to the center, and the pitcher was also changed, and it was the adult's turn to play.
But the rowboat cannot go backward directly, it must make a big circle to keep the bow in line with the forward direction.
After going around, it happened to be the side where adults sat that was closest to the floating platform.
Xu Wanci took out the ocean ball from the bucket and prepared it. Without waiting for the rowing boat to reach the closest point of the throwing line, he started throwing by measuring the distance.
The woman rested her left elbow on the railing, her palm casually drooping inward, her body leaning forward.
He held the ocean ball in his right hand and threw it forward seemingly casually. After throwing it, he took the ball from the bucket with his backhand without turning his head.
And so on.
[Isn't that right, everyone? I'm fascinated by this girl again. I really love seeing her cold face (serious face) [eyes are full of hearts].]
[Director Chu! Someone is cheating here. Xu Wanci's ocean ball didn't even go into the basket, but instead went into my heart [crying].]
[Everyone's voting is pretty accurate, but I can't take my eyes off Xu Wanci. Is that right? QAQ]
…
The four-minute countdown ends.
Two rowboats returned to the riverbank to drop off the guests, and then took the staff back to salvage the ocean balls that had fallen into the river.
The scoring team staff pulled the buoy back to the shore and counted the number of goals and scores of each group.
