Chapter 768 The Dragon Boat Festival is here

The bodyguard in the sunglasses groaned, but he was still tough enough, so he didn't scream. The other hand that was pressed against his waist hit Ye Rongyao again without thinking.

Ye Rongyao sneered mentally, his body tilted slightly, and he firmly grasped the opponent's wrist with one hand!

The bodyguard in the sunglasses was shocked, and his arms were trembling and he wanted to break free, and even made a counter-catcher. However, he immediately felt cold and felt that the other party's hand was like a pair of iron pliers, firmly fixing his hand, and he couldn't break free for a while!

However, the psychological quality of the bodyguard in the sunglasses is different from that of ordinary people. After being strictly trained, a trace of coldness flashed across his face. The arm that was caught by Ye Rongyao leveraged the force and kicked Ye Rongyao's lower body.

Ye Rongyao immediately raised his legs, bent his knees slightly inward, and raised his toes and stepped on the opponent's calves kicked. He jumped in his mind and thought, "If this is kicked firmly, the happiness with his wife will be over in the future!"

Realizing this, Ye Rongyao was furious and his other hand, which was empty, hit the bodyguard's arm with a "bang". There was a "click" sound, and the latter's two arms were broken!

"ah!"

The bodyguard in the sunglasses could no longer hold it back, and his face was distorted and screamed.

However, Ye Rongyao's anger did not diminish at all. His feet, which had not yet landed, rushed out suddenly, kicked the bodyguard's chest with a "bang", and kicked the latter to the ground.

"Ah! You're looking for death."

Zhao Ningshuo, who was slapped by Ye Rongyao, finally came back to his senses. He attacked from behind a little crazy, but he seemed not aware of the current situation!

"Bang!"

Ye Rongyao responded simply, and he still had a slap. However, this time it was much more than the previous slap. He slapped Zhao Ningshuo's mouth and blood slapped, and two teeth rolled down.

Zhao Ningshuo was once again mistressed. When did he be treated like this by others when he had lived in a superior family since he was a child? His face was so painful that he seemed to have been touched by a bear. His butt couldn't help but separate from the chair and fell shakingly to the ground.

But Ye Rongyao didn't give him this opportunity. He poked out and grabbed Zhao Ningshuo's collar. He slapped his backhand again. This time, it was not inferior to the previous one. He once again made a palm print on Zhao Ningshuo's face! He gave the latter a plastic surgery and changed his face!

Zhao Ningshuo suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Now Zhao Ningshuo was regretful and scared at the same time. Finally, he realized the current situation. The person in front of him was obviously a reckless man with no scruples in his form. He felt that he could calm the other party with his own family affairs.

"No...don't fight."

Zhao Ningshuo said in a stuttering manner.

"I'm scared, don't let me encounter such a thing again, otherwise it's not that simple."

Ye Rongyao said, and ignored these people.

After all, Ye Rongyao has no hatred with these people, and Zhao Ningshuo is even ridiculous. He is jealous for something that does not exist at all. Ye Rongyao even feels a little naive.

...

Tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival, and in the evening, the village chief comes to Ye Rongyao's house.

"Old village chief, why are you late? Have you got something to do with me?"

Ye Rongyao asked in confusion. After all, it was already past supper. Generally, the old village chief came to find him at this point, so there must be something wrong.

"Isn't tomorrow the Dragon Boat Festival? Just like in previous years, several villages will hold a dragon boat race. I hope you and Xiao Sier will participate."

The old village chief Ye Xianghai said. In this year's dragon boat race, each village is very important. Not only does this competition have a generous bonus, but more importantly, it is related to the reputation of a village.

Last year, the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival, Taoyuan Village won the last place, which made the old village chief lose his face.

Summarizing the reasons for the failure last year, several people in the village said that the reason I lost last year was because there were fewer young people going to my own village to participate in the dragon boat race than in other villages.

After all, in addition to technology, physical strength is very important in this dragon boat race. Young people have good physical strength, strong explosiveness, and lasting.

Therefore, several officials in the village all believed that young people would participate in the dragon boat racing this year.

However, after counting Taoyuan Village, there are only a few young people now, so the old village chief came to visit and invited Ye Rongyao to participate in the dragon boat race.

"good."

Ye Rongyao agreed to this matter readily. Ye Rongyao has participated in dragon boat racing more than once. After all, there are not many young people in Taoyuan Village, and Ye Rongyao is so burly.

Ye Rongyao is always indispensable in the dragon boat race every year, but today is different from previous years. Ye Rongyao is now a rich man and a well-known figure in the village.

The leaders of the village did not dare, nor could they notify Ye Rongyao directly to participate in the dragon boat race like in previous years.

There is a kind of forced or command.

This year is different. No one dares to make the decision for Ye Rongyao directly, but asks the old village chief Ye Xianghai to ask for Ye Rongyao's intention.

"This is great. The competition will start at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon and will be held at the village committee around 12:00."

The old village chief explained that although many young people in the village have participated in the annual dragon boat race, they still have to prepare before the competition.

"good."

...

The next morning, Ye Rongyao's family started boiling duck eggs and eggs. In the south, in addition to eating rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, they also ate eggs and duck eggs.

There is a saying in the south: "Cake on the first day of the lunar month, zongzi on the second day of the lunar month, snails on the third day of the lunar month, mugwort on the fourth day of the lunar month, eggs on the fifth day of the lunar month, eggs on the fifth day of the lunar month, eggs on the fifth day of the lunar month are cooked.

However, people are no longer so particular about it now. Basically, in addition to making rice dumplings in advance, they only boil eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the morning, Aunt Liu went to the back mountain to pick some herbs and calamus, and cooked them with eggs. Ye Rongyao smelled the fragrance from a distance.

"Mengmeng is here, uncle will give you two realgar points."

Xiao Mengmeng, who Ye Rongyao was playing with "Xiaobai" in the yard, said.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, families with children will make some realgar, mix it with wine, and point it on the children's forehead to exorcise evil and get rid of diseases.

"Xiao Mengmeng, this is pretty."

Liu Qingqing handed the colorful mesh bag containing red eggs to Xiao Mengmeng and said.

This colorful small mesh bag was specially woven for Xiao Mengmeng last night. It was particularly beautiful. Ye Rongyao had to admit that Liu Qingqing's thread weaving skills were getting better and better.

"Thank you aunt."

Xiao Mengmeng took the beautiful small mesh bag and said happily.

"Hang this around your neck." Ye Rongyao said.

On Dragon Boat Festival, paint the cooked eggshells in red and hang them on the child’s neck, which means wishing the child a good fortune and safety.

Originally, a sumptuous lunch was set up at noon, but because I had to participate in the dragon boat race, this sumptuous lunch was changed to dinner.

After lunch, Ye Rongyao and Xiao Sier came to the village committee.

Because the annual dragon boat race is the only chance to compete with other villages throughout the year.

Therefore, men, women, young and old in the village attach great importance to it. After all, no one can be compared by other villages.

After all the people participating in the dragon boat race arrived, the old village chief will explain the importance of this competition to everyone.

In fact, to put it simply, it is just four words, "bringing glory to the village", but the old village chief expanded these four words into a long and long speech, and it took more than ten minutes to talk about it.

However, this dragon boat race is indeed very popular and highly valued in southern China. It was originally a sacrificial activity for the ancient Yue people to sacrifice water gods or dragon gods, and its origin can be traced back to the end of primitive society.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was no river on the west bank, only a small and dirty ditch. One day, a fisherman caught a small snake in the ditch.

This little snake is very strange, with nine shining scales at its tail. When the fishman touches the scales, the begging light flashes in the snake's eyes, which is very pitiful.

The fisherman suddenly felt compassion, stroked its scales, and put it back into the ditch.

Unexpectedly, the nine scales suddenly fell, and the little snake danced with a long body, turning into a little dragon.

It turned out that it was a divine dragon from heaven. Because it violated the Heavenly Law, it was punished by the Jade Emperor. It became like this. Nine locks were added to its tail, which were nine shining scales on the tail of the small snake.

The Jade Emperor once said: "This lock must be opened unless it is obtained from human yang energy." Just now, the fisherman accidentally opened the thousand-year shackles on the little dragon's body. In order to thank the fisherman, the little dragon kept turning around in the ditch, and kept spraying water from his mouth and pouring it into the ditch.

Slowly, the small ditch turned into a big river, and the river water brought a bumper harvest to the west bank. On the day of the Dragon Dragon Ascension, the Dragon Boat Race was held to celebrate.

...

Put on the vest with the words Taoyuan Village printed before and after the village made, a group of people carried dragon boats to the Aojiang River near the village.

This competition was held on Aojiang River. The selected section of the river in Qiancang Town is the most suitable for this dragon boat competition because that section of the river is straight and wide.

This dragon boat in Taoyuan Village is a standard dragon boat with a dragon head, dragon neck, dragon tail, and the dragon boats participating in the competition are all of this standard specification.

The dragon body is semicircular and long, 1.5 meters wide, 10 meters long, and accommodates 16 pairs of oars, which means 32 people need to row this dragon boat.

The dragon boat is a yellow dragon. The dragon body and abdomen are painted in color according to the shape of the armor. The color is bright and bright, the pattern is beautiful and dazzling. The dragon boat hangs long yellow dragon beards.

After the dragon boat was launched, 36 villagers boarded the dragon boat, one of them was the helm, two of them beat the gong, and two of them beat the drums, and the rest were all the paddlers.

Under the auspices of the old people in the village, a lower offering sacrifice to the water god and the dragon god were held on the edge of the Ao River, praying for victory and good fortune.

After the sacrifice was completed, everyone rowed the dragon boat to the designated competition site, and the helmsman on the dragon boat told everyone what to pay attention to in the competition.

After all, newcomers join in every year, and the villagers at the helm are all experts in dragon boat racing with deep experience.

Thanks to Tan Ranruoshui for this fight scene.
