Chapter 236 Stereotypes
The little girl waved her hand confidently, "I believe in them, Qi Xianguan, let's start."
The female members on the boat heard this and glared at the laughing male rowers on the white team next door. "Who says we women are not as good as men? Today we will show you how powerful we female rowers are!"
Qin Yao smiled confidently and said to the leader and the female team members in the middle: "Just focus on the direction, and leave the rest to me!"
All the members of the Yellow Team responded to her in unison: "Okay!"
When Liu Ji heard her words, he felt something was wrong.
He just said that teamwork would reduce individual advantages, but he suddenly remembered that Qin Yao didn't understand those things, but her teammates must understand them!
Liu Ji didn't have much time to think. With a loud gong sound, the dragon boat under him flew out with a "whoosh".
wrong!
It was the dragon boat next door that flew out!
They perceived the dragon boat as flying away, but in fact their dragon boat had not moved at all.
"What's going on!" the captain of the white team said anxiously, "Paddle!"
After all, it was a temporary team, and many people were not professionals. For example, Liu Ji, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, was slow to react.
But with the captain there, things got moving quickly.
But the opportunity had been lost, and even after catching up, they were still half a boat behind the yellow team.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the yellow team immediately beat the drums more frequently, and all the crew members accelerated together to leave the white team behind.
After all, the white team was composed entirely of men, and once they had their strength back, they moved very quickly. Just as the two dragon heads were about to merge together, Qin Yao at the stern took action.
Under the shocked gaze of the spectators on the shore, white splashes suddenly burst out from the tail of the yellow team's dragon boat, and the whole boat seemed to have an electric motor added to it, and it rushed out ten meters away in a "whoosh".
And this powerful force was still continuing, white water splashing up, leaving the members of the white team stunned.
Because they were close, they could see more clearly, so they could see a pair of hands paddling quickly left and right, pushing the entire dragon boat out with their own strength.
Every time she paddled, the water on the entire river surface would ripple, creating layer upon layer of waves.
The White Team behind the Yellow Team immediately felt a huge resistance. No matter how fast they paddled, the effect was almost zero because of the waves pushing them over.
The members of the White Team felt that they should have rushed out more than ten meters, but when they looked up, they saw that they were just spinning in place!
After all, they are a couple, and Liu Ji has a deep understanding of Qin Yao's strength. He looks for power loopholes and finds that the water waves on both sides of the river are relatively weak. He immediately shouts:
"Everyone, stay close to the left side of the river bank. The waves are small here. Everyone, work harder and overtake them at the bend ahead!"
Qin Yao would definitely stop when turning, otherwise the boat would not be able to turn sideways.
If she dared to use such divine power at the bend, the dragon boat would probably be smashed to pieces on the stone embankment at the bend.
As it turned out, Liu Ji was right. The white team tried hard to catch up and finally saw the yellow team's dragon boat blocking above them when they turned the corner.
We are all novices and are slowing down to turn.
This is also the only chance for the white team to surpass the yellow team.
Unfortunately, Qin Yao was sitting at the stern of the boat, standing alone against ten thousand men. With the wooden oar in his hand, the leader of the White Team could not get through.
The captain of the team was shocked. How could someone have such great strength that he could stop the entire ship?
Not only him, the spectators on the shore were already stunned.
The people who had bet on Team Yellow thought that they would not be able to get their bet money back when they saw that there were so many female members on Team Yellow's boat.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically, and the unfavored yellow team was at the forefront from the very beginning.
The female team members cooperated very well, which motivated the male team members who were not familiar with each other on the entire dragon boat to cooperate with each other.
They were not in a hurry when faced with a sharp turn, and did not even do the "routine" thing like swearing. They were civilized and abided by the rules, which was a pleasure to watch.
But the most amazing thing was the female team member at the stern, whose power was boundless and everyone was thrilled to watch.
On the curve, the yellow team still passed first, and then maintained a very fast speed, cooperating tacitly, rushing to the finish line very smoothly!
"Aniang won!"
On the stone bridge, Dalang and his two siblings jumped up and cheered, feeling proud of themselves.
Afraid that others would not know that the woman on the boat was her own mother, Si Niang patted the uncles and aunts around her and kept saying:
"It's my mother, she is my mother! My mother is the most powerful person in the world!"
The uncles and aunts also nodded in cooperation and praised sincerely that it was really amazing.
"That's my mother!" A child on the shore pointed at the female rower on the boat with great pride and said, "My mother usually hits me with great force."
When these words were spoken, everyone around laughed.
However, the performance of the Yellow Team this time did change people's perception that female rowers are not strong enough to win.
It is true that women are not as strong as men, but dragon boat racing also relies heavily on cooperation among team members. Women are more emotionally stable, optimistic and gentle, and their strength should not be underestimated.
However, a big part of the reason why the yellow team was able to win this time was because of the female strongman at the stern.
Without her, the Yellow Team wouldn't have won so beautifully.
The white team arrived at the finish line half a minute later than the yellow team. The winner was obvious and there was no objection.
He Zhanghua laughed out loud and looked proudly at his cousin who was in shock. "See, I told you they could win!"
Qi Xianguan looked at Qin Yao who was getting off the boat and said in an objective third-party tone: "You can win only because she is different from ordinary people."
He Zhanghua's smile disappeared. She didn't like his "objective" tone!
She won and that was it, but he said that, making it seem like he won because he didn't care about them.
In fact, the cousins met for the first time yesterday.
He Zhanghua had heard from her parents about this famous child prodigy cousin a long time ago, so she was very much looking forward to learning from him when they met for the first time.
But after comparing ourselves, I realized that he looked down on me in every way.
The reason for his contempt was not because she was not as knowledgeable as him, but because she was his cousin and he always had to give in to her on purpose.
He Zhanghua couldn't describe the feeling immediately, it was like a fist hitting cotton.
She should obviously feel her cousin's love and care, but her cousin's various "compromises" only made her feel angry, as if she would cry if she couldn't stand losing.
But her parents still said that she didn't know what was good for her, which made her even more depressed.
Thinking that he would leave after the provincial examination, she would just be patient and not talk to him for the next month.
But now that he actually said that, she had to have a good talk with him!
He Zhanghua said: "Qi Xianguan, you are from Qi, and I am from He. Today, our two countries are competing in dragon boat racing. My He country has extraordinary warriors with infinite strength, and your Qi country has carefully selected warriors."
"The result is that my country of He won, but you told my country of He that 'you can win only because you have extraordinary people'. This will only make my country of He think that your country of Qi cannot afford to lose."
"It is a blessing for He State to have a talented person. You Qi State don't have one but you are jealous of me. If He State loses, I will not do this!"
After He Zhanghua finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Xiangguan's darkened face, and the depression in his chest finally dissipated. It was so cool!
He asked the maid to prepare the silver, and the little girl happily walked towards the river bank to give the team members the reward silver~
