The boat goes faster!
Wen Liang kept the frequency of his hands swinging steadily within a fixed range, neither too fast nor too slow, and made appropriate adjustments according to the status of his teammates to maintain the best coordination and cooperation. Born in Qingzhou, they were all children who grew up playing in the water and boating. Although it was the first time for everyone to cooperate, they all understood that willpower was the most important thing in such a competition. The distance from the pier to the island in the middle of the lake was not far, about 700 to 800 meters, and they had to rush over in one go, without running out of breath or losing strength. Everyone tried their best. Wen Liang was naturally no need to say, Liu Zhihe's gritting teeth could scare a whale to death, and Zhang Song was so choked up that his face turned red and his neck became thick. The veins on his big hands were taut, and he could feel the madness of concentration.
The other three foreign players were also brothers under Liu Zhihe, Ding Xifeng, Deng Wei, and Song Qiang. They were tall and had long arms. Although they were far inferior to Wen Liang in strength, they were also considered to be the best among the students. The depth of the three oars entering the water and the amplitude of the backswing were all OK, barely able to keep up with Wen Liang's rhythm, effectively maintaining the speed of the entire boat.
"one!"
Everyone roared from their chests, stretched out their arms, bent their legs, leaned forward, and lined up their oars high at their sides.
"two!"
The upper body was raised to the limit, the legs were stretched straight, and six wooden oars entered the water at the same time, with a "splash" sound, several deep ripples were torn in the clear green lake water. The splashing water flowed over the edge of the boat and wet the trouser legs of several people. The cold lake water instantly pierced the skin, but it could not cover the burning heat of the whole body at all, and could not stop the forward voyage.
The recklessness of youth has never been so strong.
Xu Yao stood at the bow of the boat, the wind blowing her long hair, which was messily sticking to her ears, eyebrows, and lips. Her rosy lips, fair face, and black hair intertwined together, making the innocent girl less immature and more charming. She put one hand on her waist, twisted her body, and drew a quick and powerful arc in the air with her arm, pointing in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, and shouted with all her strength: "Come on!"
The girl's voice was tender and weak, but it pierced through the rough shouts of Wen Liang and others. It was clear, loud, unstoppable and unstoppable!
250 meters!
The two boats were still less than a bow away from each other. Gu Wenyuan's team had quite a few strong men, who were as tough as Wen Liang's. The initial distance could be crossed with the arm strength of only two or three people, and it was difficult to increase the distance.
Ren Yi found a long branch from somewhere, tied a sky-blue tablecloth to the branch, and wrote two large words with a watercolor pen:
Must win!!!
Two crooked characters and three scarlet exclamation marks fluttered in the air as Ren Yi ran. The battle flags fluttered, and endless passion was stirred wherever they passed. Ning Xiaoning, who was as cold as snow, Ji Su, who was gentle and generous, Meng Ke, who was naughty and cute, and even Ye Meng, who was always quiet, was aroused by Ren Yi, waving the clothes in her hands behind him and shouting that Wen Liang would win!
Soon after, a group of girls from Class 1, all the people present from Class 3, the little witch Zhang Ziyun, the class leader Zhang Tianqi, Li Bao, and even Li Yang and others who had a grudge against Wen Liang stood up. Class 4 was Liu Zhihe's territory, and almost all of them stood on Wen Liang's side. Even some people from Class 7 ignored Gu Wenyuan's threats and all ran. The dark crowd was like a thin black line, flowing rapidly along the lake. The earth-shaking shouts came from the shore, passed through the lake, swept through the autumn wind, and exploded directly in the ears of Wen Liang and others. Four words full of fighting spirit and passion:
Kindness will win!
500 meters! The two boats are still neck and neck!
At this moment, just as the second move was finished, Wen Liang raised the paddle high, leaned back, and shouted, "Let's fight!"
Then five people shouted in unison: "Let's fight!"
Wen Liang no longer cared about his companions' physical strength. As soon as the paddle entered the water, his palms seemed to be burning, but his heart was calm. The noise and chaos in his ears suddenly faded away, and all his energy was poured into his hands. Under the water, he had only one thought, that is, forward, and forward!
Liu Zhihe felt a tightness in his chest, a bit nauseous and breathless. The river breeze that seemed gentle at first now showed its ferocious face. It was like swallowing a knife when it entered his throat, cutting his throat and causing a burning pain. The sweat on his forehead dripped onto his brow, cheeks and body. His autumn clothes on his chest were soaked. The short distance of 500 meters felt like a marathon.
But all of this was forgotten with Wen Liang's roar. Liu Zhihe had always been ruthless. He was trapped in the alley that time, alone and without any strength, but he still dared to fight hard. He refused to give in and refused to admit defeat. The harder he fought, the more excited he became! His blood boiled, and he raised his head like Wen Liang, and his hoarse voice went straight to the sky: "Let's fight!"
Zhang Song controlled the rudder. His arm strength was second only to Wen Liang and equal to Liu Zhihe. He immediately felt Wen Liang's faster pace. He took a deep breath and swung his arms tightly to follow Wen Liang's movements. His voice became shrill because of the excessive force. He shouted, "Let's fight!"
Ding Xifeng, Deng Wei, and Song Qiang all roared like wolves: "Let's fight!"
Almost in an instant, Wen Liang's boat rushed out a long distance, directly leaving Gu Wenyuan behind by more than half a boat body's distance, and quickly pulled further away.
There was an overwhelming cheering on the shore! But I wonder how many of them were for the fairy-like girl at the bow of the boat in the lake!
Gu Wenyuan's eyes turned red, and he turned around and yelled, "F*ck, everyone, use your strength!"
Gu Wenyuan decided to compete with Wen Liang after hearing the suggestion of one of his subordinates named Yuan Ye. Yuan Ye is a student in Class 8 of No. 1 Middle School. His parents run a small business and his family is of average income. He has practiced single kayaking for a year in the youth team and participated in the water club. In his words, if you just find a few strong people, you can sweep No. 1 Middle School without any problems. Since joining Gu Wenyuan's small circle, he has seen many new and strange things that he has never seen before. He has long wanted to show off in the hope of integrating more closely with this circle. Just now, when he saw Gu Wenyuan was very angry at Ji Su dancing on the shore, he came up with this idea.
Gu Wenyuan was suppressing his anger, and when he heard Yuan Ye patting his chest to make a promise, he immediately found a way to vent. So there was Shi Jie's provocation and Mu Shanshan's declaration of war.
But now they are behind! Yuan Ye looked at Gu Wenyuan's outburst of anger and dared not say anything. He also felt bitter in his heart. Let's not talk about the coordination of the whole team. Mu Shanshan, the strong man, the tough man and others are all strong, but once they paddled into the water, they ignored the instructions in advance and used as much strength as they could. Gu Wenyuan and another person were not strong enough. Although they shouted the same command of one and two, the wooden paddles actually fought underwater and almost collided several times, and the rhythm was completely messed up.
The fact that they were able to hold on for more than half of the distance without falling behind was entirely due to Yuan Ye's skills and the strength of Mu Shanshan and the others. At 500 meters, Mu Shanshan and the others' strength declined, and it was difficult to maintain the previous speed. They could no longer find their sense of rhythm, and falling behind was almost inevitable.
Yuan Ye didn't take Wen Liang seriously at first, thinking that they were just a mob, and with him in charge, they would naturally win. However, he didn't know that Wen Liang's own power and control were beyond the reach of people of their age.
The two boats moved rapidly across the lake, one in front and one behind!
700 meters.
There were still 10 to 20 meters away from the island in the middle of the lake, and Wen Liang and his men had already pulled two and a half boats away from Gu Wenyuan. Seeing that they were about to lose the game, Mu Shanshan became ruthless and shouted, "Go ahead and hit it!"
Gu Wenyuan's eyes turned cold, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hit!"
The red monkey, who had been shouting "Come on!", was startled and immediately sat down, holding on to the boat tightly.
Everyone worked together, using up their last bit of strength, and the boat suddenly accelerated and hit the stern of the boat in front.
"Bang!"
"Ah, be careful!"
"careful!"
There were screams from the shore, and there was a commotion. Wen Liang felt a sway, and the boat rushed out of the water, with half of the boat stranded on the sand beside the island. Xu Yao was unsteady on her feet, and fell into Wen Liang's arms, with one hand touching her lower body.
But at the moment, neither of them had time to care about this. There was a splashing sound behind them. Wen Liang helped Xu Yao stand up and turned back. Gu Wenyuan's boat lost its center of gravity due to the collision, and the boat tilted. Six people including Hong Hou fell into the water. Fortunately, the water here was not deep, only a few meters away from the island, and everyone was wearing life jackets. Mu Shanshan and Yuan Ye pulled Gu Wenyuan to the shore, one on each side. They were all wet, and water was dripping, and they looked very embarrassed.
Liu Zhihe pointed at Gu Wenyuan and laughed, ignoring his already livid and cold face. "Wenyuan, you're responsible for your own mistakes. Today I finally understand what it means. MB lost the game, and you wanted to hit someone. What happened? You hit yourself! Hahaha!"
Xu Yao was about to speak angrily, but Wen Liang held her hand and told her to calm down. He walked slowly to Gu Wenyuan and said, "Student Gu, the game is over, I won! Anyway, your clothes are wet, so please jump into the water and swim back. You were so agile just now, you may be able to cover this short distance faster than us by rowing!"
Hearing Wen Liang's mocking words, Xu Yao and others laughed without hesitation. Gu Wenyuan sat on the ground, his face pale, gasping for breath, and said nothing.
When Ren Yi saw that he had won, he jumped up half a person's height with a wow, held up the tablecloth and ran directly into the lake. He was submerged up to his knees without realizing it. He waved a "must win" flag and shouted: "We won, we won!"
Ning Xiaoning and Ji Su hugged each other tightly and jumped up happily. Someone shouted, "The loser, swim back!"
Countless hands were raised above their heads, all shouting the same words: "Swim! Swim!"
Wen Liang held each other's fingers, with a sunny face: "I'll count to three, whoever doesn't go in the water, I'll help him go in!"
