Chapter three hundred and forty fifth rowing competition
After reading Shi Qian, Du Jia focused on Ruan Xiaoqi again. This time, Living Yan Luo also signed up for two projects: water and boating. The task was also extremely heavy, especially since his body had not fully recovered, and he was just forced to rely on the medicinal properties of the "Clam Powder Ice Toad Decay and Skin Regeneration Ointment". It would be impossible to say that Du Jia was not worried about him at all.
At this time, the boating competition has begun. This rule is also very simple. Each contestant will take a small boat and two oars. Of course, you can also choose the boat pole and then compete on the same starting line. Whoever rushes through a silk banner a thousand meters away first will be considered to win.
However, this competition is not as few as the "Miscellaneous Hands" that Shi Qian participated before. You should know that this is the Jiangnan water town, and almost everyone is familiar with the nature of water. Many three-foot children can swim happily in the West Lake, not to mention adults. Therefore, basically every force in Jiangnan has sent people to participate in this competition. In addition, there are also a few people from the north to try their luck, so there are more than a hundred contestants, which is under the premise that Fang La's side did not participate.
Because there were too many players, they were only divided into arrays. The first place in each group gathered together to participate in the subsequent competition. At this time, it happened that Ruan Xiaoqi was in the competition. He chose a bamboo pole more than two meters long to sail.
Seeing Tian Bao on Ruan Xiaoqi's stage look even more ugly, he pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and asked slowly, "Didn't this guy say he has been seriously injured and cannot afford to be injured. At least he has to lie in the bed for half a month? Why can he still stand here? And I see that he is very lively, so why do you look like a wounded person?"
How dare the followers talk back and forth? Zhang Wanchun frowned and said, "That day, I clearly saw with my own eyes that this guy was carried back by another person, and his body was covered with blood. It was absolutely impossible to fake. This is really puzzling. Could it be that this kid was holding on?"
Tian Bao groaned, "It's better to do this, otherwise it can only mean that Zhang Jian lied to us. If that's the case, I will definitely not forgive him. I have to let him sweep my autumn wind and fallen leaves out!"
Zhang Wanchun hurriedly smiled and said, "Old Leopard, calm down. No matter what, this guy is like the northerners. They say that northerners ride horses and southerners ride boats. Even if he is not injured, he will be humiliating himself. Let's see how he is embarrassed before paying attention."
Tian Bao thought about it, and his face looked a little better. His cow eyes stared at Ruan Xiaoqi without blinking, and he didn't even bother to watch the rest of the fight scenes.
Many insiders sneered secretly when they saw the long pole in Ruan Xiaoqi's hand. They all knew that this bamboo pole seemed to be useful and seemed to be much more powerful than the oar, but in fact it was not the same thing at all. If this thing was too strong, it would be broken directly. If it didn't work enough, it couldn't get up, so it was very difficult to use. Especially since Ruan Xiaoqi chose the longest one, which increased the difficulty for himself. She was simply a layman. It was probably a bit of a question whether the boat could be driven in the end.
Everyone was waiting to see him laugh. At this time, the referee heard the gong ringing, and everyone hurriedly started rowing their own boats. More than ten small boats immediately started moving, galloping towards the finish line like more than ten wild horses, but surprisingly, Ruan Xiaoqi actually ranked first.
I saw him pushing the long pole deep into the bottom of the water, drawing a beautiful arc, and then slightly. The boat flew four or five feet away, and then supported it a little more. The rhythm was very strong, but his feet were firmly standing on the boat without moving. No matter how the boat floated around, everyone was stunned, even the opponent who played with him was no exception.
After a moment of silence, the audience burst into applause, including Fang La and others. Fang La nodded and smiled: "This young man should be from Liangshan. It is rare to have this kind of skill in using ships. It seems that he is not inferior to the good shipkeeper here. What is his name?"
Li Tianrun, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly replied, "King, his name is Ruan Xiaoqi, and he has a nickname called Living Yan Luo. He is one of the leaders of several major naval armies in Liangshan. It is said that he was born in a small village called Shijie Village on the edge of the river Liangshan. He has been fishing boats since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he has this skill."
Fang La smiled and said, "Although that's the case, he is also a northerner after all. It would be too embarrassing to lose to him so many good shipmen in the south. I hope someone can suppress his limelight."
Li Tianrun smiled and said, "The king is worried too much. Although Ruan Xiaoqi has good skills, he is still not as good as Miao Tianyu, the Red Dragon God here. It's just that according to the regulations, it's a pity that our people cannot come to compete with him. It's a pity that our people cannot end up competing with him. General Zhang Jian, do you think it's?"
Zhang Jian was standing behind Li Tianrun at this time. He was angry and surprised when he looked at Ruan Xiaoqi's vivid performance. He was angry that this guy was very tough in front of him at that time. He thought he had taught him a lesson, but he didn't expect that he had such excellent performance again, which was equivalent to slapping himself in the face. What was surprised that the bird man was beaten by him the day before yesterday was so flesh and bloody that he should be lying on the bed at this time? Even if he could stand up, it would not be easy, but why could this bastard still use the boat like a human being?
When he was puzzled, he heard Li Tianrun’s question and hurriedly said, “What Li Shuai said is very true. If Brother Tianyu takes action, even if he has ten Ruan Xiaoqi, he will definitely not be an opponent. This time he has taken advantage of it, but it is hard to say for the subsequent game, haha.”
Li Tianrun smiled meaningfully: "It's really hard to say. I see that Ruan Xiaoqi always grinned when he was raising a boat. He looked a little uncomfortable. I don't know if he was sick or injured. Hahaha, do you think so, General Zhang?"
The cold sweat on Zhang Jian's head had already come out. He knew that Li Tianrun was a powerful character and rarely looked aimless. This sentence sounded like something in his words. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, Li Shuai, I, Zhang Jian, followed you the day before. Who am I, others don't understand you, don't you understand? Since I followed you, I have always been loyal, haha, haha."
Fortunately, Li Tianrun just asked casually and let him go, as if he believed in what he said. However, Zhang Jian was really shocked after all, and saw that Li Tianrun was no longer confused about this matter, so he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. He glanced at Ruan Xiaoqi who was lying on the boat excitedly. He shot a light of hatred in his eyes, and he quickly planned his plan to deal with them.
