Chapter 77
The starting point of the competition is backed by the shallow river, far away from the upstream of the cave beach.The crossing of the horse crossing is about 20 meters wide. Looking around, the track ahead is not a wide and flat road, but is built around the natural terrain of the grassland. There are narrow roads, bends, gentle slopes, and even a section that needs to cross a shallow river.The total length of the race is 2 kilometers. After two laps, the first person to return to the starting point without losing the flag wins.

After the second gong sounded, the emotions of the onlookers were already boiling.The horse seemed to be able to feel this atmosphere. Chen Yangyang shook his head and snorted. Beside him, Sun Jianchuan's warm-blooded horse also started pacing in place.

Sun Jianchuan looked away from Chen Xi.She is relaxed and happy on horseback.When the arrow is on the string, she is still picking grass clippings from the horse's mane.This reminded Sun Jianchuan inappropriately of the many exams they had gone through together in the past.Before the exam, he was always very nervous, worried that if he failed the exam, he would go back and be beaten, and he was even more afraid of being picked up by his family and compared with Chen Xi.

As for Chen Xi, she always smiled and comforted him:
"Chuanzi, come on!"

"Xiao Chuanchuan, don't be sad, I'll take you to play."

She doesn't mind being copied by him, but she doesn't pass notes to him. She can make up for him before the exam, but she doesn't care how many points he scored.When the test results came out, her grades would crush him forever, and when he was beaten by his father, she tried every means to lead him out and excuse him.

Chen Xi was not proud of defeating him, nor did he regard him as an opponent.Later, Sun Jianchuan gradually suppressed the idea of ​​surpassing her, and instead became dependent.She is Chen Xi!It doesn't matter if you lose to her, as long as she is here... until one day he suddenly realized that when she left him far behind, he would lose her completely, and he would not even be able to see her back.

Chen Xi had no intention of fighting against Sun Jianchuan in today's match.Just now he wanted to say some harsh words to her, but Chen Xi told her, "Chuanzi, be careful!"

Sun Zhichuan has never been so eager to defeat her, to defeat the person she desires like now!

As soon as the third gong sounded, Sun Jianchuan's Dutch warm-blooded horse rushed out like an arrow, accompanied by only a minority youth riding a fierce horse, and the rest were left behind.The first narrow track came at the [-]-meter starting point, and the track was tightened by nearly half.This setting is obviously to make it easier for players to compete for colored flags and increase the intensity of the competition.Sun Jianchuan preemptively relied on the advantage of the horse breed, just wanting to pass here quickly to avoid falling into a melee prematurely.Sure enough, not long after he successfully crossed the narrow passage, the laughter of the audience and the neighing of the horse behind him came one after another.

Sun Jianchuan hurriedly turned his head to see that the narrow road was in chaos.He didn't see Chen Xi, but found that the minority youths following him were trying to get closer to him.He didn't want to fall into the hands of this bear-like peer, so he hurriedly restrained himself and ran forward first.

Sun Jianchuan didn't see Chen Xi, because Chen Xi fell far behind him, and also behind the large troops in the narrow road.At the beginning of the race, she did not intend to let go of the run, but let the horse walk forward slowly.Chen Yangyang seemed very dissatisfied with the situation at the bottom, Chen Xi leaned over to comfort her and said, "Good boy, the best part is yet to come."

Someone up ahead had been thrown off a horse in the chaos of the first round.It was a man dressed as a tourist. Due to his slow speed and protective gear on his body, he didn't fall too badly when he landed on his buttocks, but he didn't have the fighting spirit to get on the horse and fight again, so he was supported by the off-site staff to leave.The girl on the pony was pulled out of the flag before she could figure out the situation, and she lost the qualification for the competition amidst the screams.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Xi found a gap and quickly passed through the place of right and wrong.Duan Yanfei was also lucky enough to escape from the narrow passage. Only one corner of the silk scarf on her head was fixed to her hair, and it fluttered in the wind together with the small red flag on the horse's back. The cloak was also blown up by the wind. It looks like a red eagle with wings spread.

When Chen Xi passed by Duan Yanfei, Duan Yanfei, who was still in shock, laughed loudly and cursed: "Little slicker, you are cheating! Is this okay?"

Chen Xi turned her head and smiled: "Why not?"

After lunch, she and Chen Yangyang strolled along the unfenced track, and asked Brother Yang, who was one of the referees, about the rules of the game.In the words of Brother Yang: "As long as you don't lose the flag, it doesn't matter how you run?"

In fact, Brother Yang also said: "Every little girl goes there to throw the flag, and the young man wants to snatch the flag from the beautiful girl. You ride well, don't just think that people can't catch up with you. The lonely family runs first What's the use of one?"

But if she can't win Wei Jia's banner, it's not bad to be a Dugu seeking defeat!
Today Wei Jia was riding a medium-sized black flowered horse.Chen Xi heard that when they were young, they often played the game of chasing sheep on horseback, which was much more barbaric than "capture the flag".As she expected, Wei Jia didn't hurry and didn't fall behind, and passed the narrow passage easily.A tall and plump female rider followed Wei Jia closely.When climbing a hill, his horse's speed suddenly slowed down, and the female rider took the opportunity to make a move, but was unexpectedly attacked by the chef from behind.The blond-haired chef waved the flag of the female rider, and said "yo ha" happily, and the horse circled around the beautiful woman.It's a pity that the joy turned into sorrow, and it didn't take long for him to lose his balance and fall off the horse while snatching another girl's colorful flag. Before he could climb back on the horse, his own flag had already been snatched by others.

After one lap, less than half of the competitors remained.Duan Yanfei was pulled out of the flag at the bend by that tall and tall ethnic minority youth, who was the marksman who gave her big red flowers yesterday.At the same time as pulling out the flag, the young man also took off the silk scarf on Duan Yanfei's head.Chen Xi, who had witnessed their two encounters, whistled loudly, and Duan Yanfei covered her face shyly.

When Chen Xi became the only remaining female rider on the field, she also became cautious.She is now the prey of others, not only Sun Jianchuan is staring at her flag, but also several other male riders.The second time when she passed the gentle slope, two male riders surrounded her, one on the left and the other on the right. She forced her to turn her horse and go around.The sudden flash of Chen Yangyang's breakthrough made people sweat. The rider's center of gravity was slightly shifted or he was not sure of his proportions, and he was bound to be thrown off the horse.Those who can run to the second half of the race are not novices, but the two male riders did not expect that the beautiful chick who looks thin is actually an out-and-out smart girl, and she is very courageous, so they couldn't help drinking for her. sound color.The onlookers outside the venue also showed great enthusiasm for the girl on the bay red horse, cheering everywhere they passed.

Chen Xi knew very well that neither he nor Chen Yangyang had an advantage in a direct collision, and the devious tactics were only a temporary strategy. Then he could win with speed and strive to keep a safe distance from the others.She coveted Wei Jia's little blue flag, but she watched his confrontation with other people, and she tried to get close to him twice, but she really couldn't do it. Even though she was right in front of her eyes, she couldn't reach him, and people who wanted to get rid of him were very afraid Difficult to get rid of.

Wei Jia ran so leisurely in the first half that Chen Xi thought he was suspected of paddling, until she heard exclamations and strange movements behind her, and when she looked back, the two male riders chasing her had left the track. And Wei Jia had two more colored flags that did not belong to him.At the same time, his speed has also accelerated a lot.

Chen Xi's heartbeat seemed to become rapid and brisk following Chen Yangyang's pace.Will he take down her flag?Just like that ethnic minority sharpshooter, only sister Yan exists in his eyes.Chen Xi would not give in to Wei Jia on purpose, but he should know that if he went all out, she would be willing to lose to him.

At this time, Sun Jianchuan also successfully grabbed the banner of another fat young man, leaving only four people on the field.Chen Xi ran at the front, Sun Jianchuan and Wei Jia were in the middle, and the sharpshooter who was temporarily behind was also struggling to catch up.Everyone has the hope of winning, and the distance between the four has not been stretched too far.

Ahead came the most troublesome curve. Not to mention the rugged and changeable path, the ground is full of gravel, and if you don't pay attention, you will stumble.As long as you pass this bend, and then cross the shallow river is the end.Sun Jianchuan had been following Chen Xi for a while, and the most dangerous time he forced Chen Xi into a corner, Chen Xi's violent bay red horse was not afraid of a taller opponent, and when he felt the threat, he raised his head angrily. With the front hoof, Sun Jianchuan had to withdraw his hand to avoid it.However, Chen Xi still sat firmly in the large jolt of the horse. Since then, she has always been two positions ahead of Sun Jianchuan by virtue of Chen Yangyang's explosive power.

Chen Xi thought that Sun Jianchuan would bite on him, but he suddenly took advantage of the terrain to close the horizontal distance with Wei Jia, and turned to attack another target.Wei Jia was also mentally prepared, and when Sun Jianchuan leaned forward, he stomped the horse's hind legs, and he took advantage of the opportunity to lightly whip the rear of Sun Jianchuan's warm-blooded horse.The warm-blooded horse immediately moved away to the other side. If Sun Jianchuan wanted to stay on the horse, he had to shift his focus accordingly.But this time he didn't care to stabilize his body, and still rushed towards the flag behind Wei Jia.

Wei Jia was taken aback by this behavior that would rather take the risk of falling off the horse to get the flag.Sun Jianchuan's hand was not more than half an arm away from the blue flag, and his whole body deviated from the saddle and tilted to the right, about to be overturned to the ground.Wei Jia quickly took the rein of the warm-blooded horse and knocked it in his hand, the water rein on the horse's head was tightened suddenly, and the warm-blooded horse was forced to stop the momentum of galloping in the opposite direction.It is difficult to stop a frightened horse. Thanks to Wei Jia's dealings with reckless tourists on horseback these years, this set of remedial actions is handy.Sun Jianchuan swayed, and sat back on the saddle amidst the exclamations of the female audience.

At this time, Chen Xi had already reached the small river.Before leaving the curve, she took a distracted look at the situation behind her, and Sun Jianchuan's dangerous action made her gasp.She was a little worried, and even more annoyed at his recklessness.There was the sound of horseshoes approaching rapidly behind her, she turned her head and looked back, and the one who followed was Sun Jianchuan—only Sun Jianchuan!Wei Jia's blue flag was held in his hands.

Chen Xi blinked, the distance between Sun Jianchuan and her was still getting closer, and she could even clearly see his smile shining brightly in the afternoon sun.It's hard to describe Chen Xi's mood at that moment. She was relieved that Chuanzi was safe and sound, but she couldn't restrain the disappointment surging in her heart.The finish line is not far away, as long as the speed is maintained, she will be the champion of this race.Those waiting ahead have begun to cheer for the upcoming victor.Chen Yangyang was a little afraid of the water, and Chen Xi discovered it when he walked across the shallow river in the last lap.Even though the river barely covered the horse's hooves, it still wandered uneasily, requiring stronger commands from the rider.Chen Xi suddenly felt it was funny, because of her victoriousness, and also because of the little expectation just now.Why is Dugu Qiubai called Dugu Qiubai?Because sometimes winning is such a boring thing.

Sun Jianchuan also found that Chen Xi's horse was stopping by the river. He couldn't believe that Chen Xi would be waiting for him at the finish line, and he couldn't bear to think about the current pass.Opportunities are beckoning to him, everything on the field today is too wonderful, he can't miss the opportunity again.The moment he was about to walk alongside Chen Xi, Sun Jianchuan stretched out his hand without hesitation, but at this moment, Chen Xi pulled out his own flag from the bamboo tube and threw it into the water.

Chen Xi's flag is light yellow, and in Sun Jianchuan's perception, she deserves a brighter color.That flag was like an annoying butterfly as he chased her.Now the "butterfly" was immersed in the water, circling over the moss-covered pebbles, and soon drifted downstream along with the fallen leaves on the water surface.

Chen Xi, who lost her flag, also lost her qualifications.Sun Jianchuan's warm-blooded horse rushed to the finish line by inertia, and the minority youth followed closely behind and crossed the river.At the end of the game, the only remaining champion and runner-up accepted the applause of the onlookers.Sun Jianchuan's arms and feet were full of little red flowers thrown by the girls. He turned around in a daze, and Chen Xi had already led the horse and disappeared into the crowd.
