In the devastated City God Temple east of Mingshui County Town, a fair amount of beggars had gathered. Among them were the little beggar’s terminally ill foster father and little sister.

Su Qingluo took the father’s pulse and thoroughly examined his condition. She put a medicinal pill into his mouth. Turning to the little beggar, she shook her head.

“He has at most three days left.”

The little beggar’s eyes instantly reddened as he hugged his young sister, quietly sobbing.

Although his thievery was detested, he was, after all, only a seven-year-old child, and his sister was even younger, appearing to be just three or four years old.

Su Zixuan and Wang Meng pitied them both, leaving half their food for them and secretly giving them a few pieces of fragmented silver.

Seeing he didn’t refuse, he accepted earnestly. The three siblings left in gloom. Due to this, they lost their playful spirits, and walking all the way from the City God Temple, they returned home directly.

The first day of the temple fair in March began with an exciting start to the dragon boat race.

Villagers who heard the news and tourists from all over crowded in three layers by the river channel, making it impassable.

Without a bit of fearlessness and not minding getting sprayed by others’ spit, one couldn’t squeeze in.

Li Xiu’e had been eagerly looking forward to watching her eldest daughter’s splendid performance in the dragon boat race.

Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, she roused everyone from their beds, hustled them through breakfast, brought her own stool, rushed to the riverside, secured the best spot, and waited for the dragon boat race to start. From early morning until midday, all participating teams in the dragon boat race finally made a grand appearance.

By tradition, the dragon boat races of Mingshui County Town were divided into men’s and women’s categories, and each would have five teams participating.

Mingshui Academy was the most prestigious school in the area and gathered the best talents in the county.

Therefore, it got two chances every year to send both men’s and women’s teams to compete.

The participating students from Mingshui Academy were dressed in uniform.

Their light blue attire showcased the irresistible vitality of young boys and girls. Their high bun hair styles adorned with uniform blue ribbons highlighted their efficiency and elegance.

As soon as the academy’s team appeared, they were welcomed with roaring cheers.

Spectators from everywhere seemed to be satisfied merely by seeing the beautiful young boys and girls, feeling that their long journey to get here was worth it. freewebno(v)el

“Look, dad, it’s Sister Qiao,”

Li Xiu’e sat at the best spot by the river, stretching her neck to look into the crowd from Mingshui Academy. She spotted her daughter’s graceful figure and almost stood up with excitement.

“Hmm-hmm, I see her, keep your voice down.”

Su Hu quickly put his hand on her shoulder, afraid to block the view of the spectators behind them and cause unnecessary trouble.

“Sister looks so cool! So handsome!”

Su Zixuan also saw Su Ziqin standing in the women’s team, wearing the academy’s uniform and adorned with a blue ribbon, looking gallant and especially eye-catching.

Being his sister’s long-time follower, at that moment, he couldn’t help but feel proud and honored.

The dragon boat race began with the five men’s teams competing first.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the participants shouted as one, rowing together. Under the inspiring beats, the five dragon boats moved forward rapidly. freewebnov(e)l.com

Cheers broke out on both sides of the river. Spectators vigorously waved their arms, cheering for their favorite teams.

Supporters of Mingshui Academy were the most numerous, receiving enthusiastic cheers to spur them on.

“Brother Meng, if you competed in the dragon boat race with your strength, it’s called overpowering the crowd. You alone would beat all of them and take the first place..”
