In the eyes of ordinary people, the Dragon Boat Festival is a great day. From the powerful to the ordinary people, they have to clean their houses, wear mugwort, or go out to bathe in the sun. The cold of the year has completely left this day. But in the eyes of some special people, the Dragon Boat Festival actually has a different kind of liveliness.

In the kitchen of a house where the window smoked mugwort is opened, some of the black ash that floats out of the window chimney are different from ordinary black ash. They twist and aggregate. When they look closely, they are all sesame-sized things, screaming and turning into ashes in the mugwort ash, falling to the ground.

There are also black and gray furry animals driven out of the corners. Ordinary people only think they are mice, but if someone looks carefully, they will find that the thing is shameless and not a mouse. It is clearly a monster that breeds in dark corners and likes to swallow mold.

There are also people who are rusty-like objects on the door beam at the door. If the family is hung with calamus mugwort, the rust will slowly peel off and sink into the soil. When someone is lazy and has not hung it, the door will be covered with such "rust", and the "rust" falling on the doors of nearby people will also slowly crawl over. Ordinary people cannot see it, but this family will touch this "rust" more often when they open and close the door. I am afraid that there will be several minor illnesses this year.

In addition to this kind of little monster that is extremely easy to produce and not much harm, there are also some more difficult guys. For example, under the Qujiang Pond, there is a dark trend. People who see it only think it is fish or water plants in the water. But Wu Zhen knows that it is a drowning puppet that sleeps at the bottom of the river for a winter and spring, awakened by the Dragon Boat Festival sunshine. This thing grows on the bones of people and animals drowned in the river. It looks like the transparent water in the water, but when standing higher, you can see the shadows. In summer, children are prone to drowning in the water, and most of them are the tricks of these things. Once they enter the water where the drowning puppets gather, it is difficult to struggle.

Wu Zhen doesn't like this thing. Every summer, she and Xiaoshe have to catch these unlucky things in the waters of Chang'an City like fish. They are fished out and placed on the shore to wait for the sun to come out and burn, but they grow too fast and cannot be caught every year.

In addition to drowning puppets, there will be a kind of monster on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is loved by Wu Zhen, called "Yangming". It also grows in the water, but Yangming is harmless to people, not only harmless but also beneficial. On the Dragon Boat Festival, Yangming will break out of the cocoon from the water and fly to the sky, with a crisp and nice voice. The only life of this kind of monster is the Dragon Boat Festival. They will choose the person they like and fall on the head of that person. Although the selected person cannot completely eliminate all diseases, they will also feel that their mental shock and fatigue will be gone.

Wu Zhen looked at the river surface as if a gust of wind was passing by, and the river surface was rippling. He suddenly laughed at his mouth, and a horse that was chasing the rain, chased the gust of wind to a place downstream of Qujiangchi. When the breeze stopped, they also stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mei Zhuyu asked.

Wu Zhen only said, "It's nothing. I'm looking for Mei Si and the others, maybe here." She pretended to look at Mei Zhuyu's head unintentionally. Seeing the sun rising from the wind, two of them fell on Mei Zhuyu's head, and she felt relieved.

Mei Zhuyu didn't care about these little things. Although he could see the sunshine flying over his head, the shadows slowly moving on the roadside, the white banners floating slightly on the willow tree, and the monsters mingling in the crowd, he had Wu Zhen around him, so he acted like an ordinary person, without any abnormality.

Seeing Wu Zhen looking around, he asked, "Will your cousin come?"

Wu Zhen nodded, "Yes, they will participate in dragon boat racing every year."

At this moment, someone shouted "Sister Zhen" on the other side. Both of them looked good, and immediately they could see that the group of young men wearing purple clothes on the other side of the river were Mei Si and Cui Jiu and others.

Wu Zhen and others were in the same place. Mei Si and others knew Wu Zhen's character well and took the initiative to come by. As soon as they got to the dock, Cui Jiu jumped off the boat and ran over and said, "Sister Zhen, didn't you agree to wait on the other side of the platform? Why did you come here? We have been looking for it for a while."

Wu Zhen: "I forgot, it's me wrong, let's go."

"Wait a minute!" Mei Si also ran over, "Sister Zhen, why are you not wearing the same clothes as us? It looks so bad later."

Wu Zhen: "I am not ready to participate in this year's dragon boat competition."

After saying that, the remaining husband was panicked, "What! Didn't Sister Zhen participate last year? Why didn't she participate this year?" "Yes, we kept the position of the drummer in front for Sister Zhen. Now Sister Zhen is quitting now. Where can I find someone to come to get together for the moment?" Someone else whined, "Sister Zhen, my dear sister! You are going to kill us. We all agreed that we must win a ranking this year!"

After hearing their wailing, Wu Zhen pointed to Mei Zhuyu next to him, "I mean I won't participate, let him participate."

In an instant, everyone lost their voices. Looking at the tall and thin Mei Zhuyu, a boy finally asked weakly: "Can he beat the drum?"

The question was asked, but everyone understood that he wanted to ask Mei Zhuyu if he had the strength. After all, the drum in front was not an ordinary drum. If you want to beat it loudly, you need some strength. No matter how you look at Mei Zhuyu, you are a weak scholar. What's the use of growing tall?

Wu Zhen could understand their little thoughts and smiled, "Why, don't you believe the person recommended by Sister Zhen?"

Zhao Songyan and Zhao Langjun are different from others. While others were still hesitating, he had already nodded sincerely, "I believe." She has seen Mei Zhuyu's violent side with her own eyes.

Others:... This little guy was shameless and flattered!

So the rest of the people were unwilling to fall behind. No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they were filled with "I believe!" "I believe too!"

Wu Zhen glanced at Mei Zhuyu and comforted his brothers, "Don't worry, I've experienced your brother-in-law's strength."

When the men heard this, they suddenly became unfair and laughed. There was also a short and thin young man who kept laughing. Everyone else stopped. He was still laughing in a lewd manner. Wu Zhen gently whipped it, "It's almost OK, if you laugh again, you will cry."

When they all looked up at the sky, Wu Zhen approached Mei Zhuyu, "I was going to go on my own, but my back hurts, so how about you, your husband, please do it for me?"

When he came before, Wu Zhen didn't say this, but Mei Zhuyu looked at the purple short-skinned robe on her body, and then looked at the purple clothes on the teenagers, and realized that she had already planned.

"Thank you for a hard time, okay?" Wu Zhen said in a coaxing tone. Hearing the teenagers almost took a few steps back. Sister Zhen, can they coax people? No, can they become so gentle after marrying? They can't believe it!

Since Wu Zhen mentioned it, Mei Zhuyu certainly has nothing to do with it, just...

"I have never participated in such an event, I can only do my best and may not be able to do it well."

Wu Zhen tugged at the hair on his cheek and whispered: "It's okay, I don't want you to do anything either. I just think you are too bored and let you go and play with these gangsters."

Jun:... But Sister Zhen, we are not playing around, we really want to get a ranking!

This time, I couldn't avenge my previous shame. The husband, except Zhao Songyan, and Mei Si, were all thinking bitterly.

The annual dragon boat race is very grand. There are as many as 60 boats alone, each with thirty-six people on each boat. Cui Jiu and his team were not enough, so they specially called their friends to call their brothers and brothers in their family, and at least they had enough thirty-six people. However, among these thirty-six people, there were majestic men who could bend their bows and shoot eagles, and there were also weak chickens who were not strong enough like Mei Si. How could this uneven level be compared to those dragon boats that had been prepared long ago and selected team members.

Many famous shops in the city will buy a dragon boat and hire a man with strong strength to compete in this game just to make a name for themselves. In addition to these shops, there are also students from the official schools who will also prepare a dragon boat to compete with others on this day, so that people can see how powerful they are. In addition, there are also royal relatives' houses, and guards and soldiers are also invited to join in the fun. In short, 360 schools will participate.

Looking at the dragon boats, the styles and sizes are similar, but the layout is different. Some are gorgeous like flower boats, some are drawn on the side of the boat, and some are tied with red silk, and all kinds of colors.

These dragon boats will set off in the middle of Qujiangchi and all the way downstream. There is a city tower that spans the water surface. The emperor, the queen and the princes and ministers are watching. The dragon boat that first passed through the bridge cave of the city tower is the victory, because the emperor will also give the top names a reward. In order to get this honor, the people participating in the competition will work even harder and the battle has been fierce from the beginning.

Wu Zhen rode on the horse and heard the sound of drums coming one after another. The people standing on the shore shouted loudly, waving their things enthusiastically. The wife was too excited and threw the handkerchiefs into the river. She even fell into the river by herself, and was pulled up by the people on the shore.

The dragon boats were rowing rapidly. Whenever they arrived at a river section, the people on both sides of the river were excited. Some people stood on the trees on the shore and looked at them. Some even chased the dragon boats forward.

Wu Zhen was also chasing the dragon boat, but she was riding a horse, and she was not by the river, but on one side of the road, and could vaguely see the dragon boat like arrows on the river through the willow trees and crowded heads.

She couldn't see clearly, but she could hear the drum sound. All the drum sounds were very exciting, but there was a drum sound that was the loudest and very regular, as if the drum beater was not completely infected by the passionate emotions around her, and was calmly beating the drum face at her own rhythm.

In fact, the drummer at the front of the dragon boat racing is very important. They can lead the rhythm of a whole dragon boat. Some dragon boats exhaust their energy too hard in the first half, and they will fall at a disadvantage later. Those who are easily led by other dragon boats will wait to slow down afterwards.

Wu Zhen was in a happy mood when he listened to the always steady and loud drum sound. Finally, everyone could vaguely see the city tower at the end. The drummers who beat the drums all the way were a little weak, and the drum sound became much lighter. At this time, the loudest drum sound suddenly became faster, and exploded like thunder, becoming more and more rapid.

Through the gaps of the crowd, Wu Zhen looked at a familiar dragon boat and slowly distanced himself from other dragon boats.

"Ah! Win!"

"oh!"

The result was made on the other side of the city tower, and cheers rang. Wu Zhen led the horse and waited on the side. After a while, a large group of men ran over with laughter. Everyone's faces were flushed and excited. Mei Zhuyu, who was walking alone on the side when he came, was hugged by the men's men when he came, and he became much more intimate.

"I didn't expect that Dalang was so strong! Oh, did you see, the drummer on the dragon boat on our left, what's the use of a body full of flesh? It's far worse than our Dalang. His strength is so small. Later, I saw that his face was purple, and his voice was still not as loud as our drum!"

"Finally, I finally won once and I will never be laughed at again."

"Cousin, I'm convinced, really convinced. Why did your drum beat so well? I pressed down on everyone else. I felt strong all over my body... Oh my hand was too hard just now, and it hurts so much now."
