Chapter 214 Amusement Park is Hot (2)
As the gongs and drums sounded, everyone took their seats. The first thing they did was swimming. Because there were all the adults and the girl Ruan Qingqing present, everyone went into the water with their clothes on.
This is a single-player competition. Everyone swims from one side of the pool to the other in batches, a distance of 300 meters. Each captain also needs to find out the strength of their team members in this round, so as to make arrangements for the team competition later. As a result, Zhou Zheng, Fu Yuanhao and others were the last batch to enter the water.
The first to go on stage were the top fifty civilians who had competed before. The scene was exciting and lively. Murong Jinyang and others watched these young men swimming in the water as nimbly as fish, and they suddenly felt heroic and wished they could be ten years younger and join in.
Finally, there was a competition between officials such as Zhou Zheng.
"Puchi!" Someone spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Who is that? It would be fine if he was paddling like a dog, but he's been paddling in the water for a long time and still not moving." The passion in Murong Jinyang's heart was immediately shattered by this ridiculous scene.
Shen Huai's face flushed red, and he used the gesture of drinking tea to block the gazes coming from all directions.
Others might not have reacted for a moment, but with his stiff limbs and dull mind, no one could have thought of anyone except his son Shen Zhizui.
But this can't be blamed on Shen Zhizui, he can't swim at all. The others couldn't swim at first, but because they were close, they got the news and practiced in advance. He was delayed for a while because of the war, and there was a lack of water and rivers in the Jialing Pass area, so there was no place for him to practice. When he came here, he was forced to do it.
As expected, Shen Zhizui came in last. Although he came in last, he learned to swim by accident, which diluted his sadness.
The second round was rowing. The boat was a small wooden canoe that could accommodate ten people, and basically one team had one boat. The team members were fine, as most of them were good at rowing. But Zhou Zheng and other young men from the capital were not good enough. They had taken a boat many times, but they could never row a boat.
As a result, the oars collided with each other, the boats swayed, and even capsized... The scene was so chaotic that Murong Jinyang and others could only hold their foreheads and sigh.
The third round was a drifting competition to grab a wooden ball. Not only did they have to compete for the front position while drifting, but they also had to avoid capsizing. After drifting down, they also had to compete for the wooden ball suspended in the calm water area, which was much more difficult than before.
What’s worse is that Zhang Qiuming and several others would get seasick and even afraid of drifting in places with fast-flowing water.
"Sir, why don't you close your eyes first and don't think about anything. Leave the rest to us!" Someone couldn't help it and bravely reminded Zhang Qiuming.
It’s really because their adults are too fragile. If this continues, they will have no chance of getting the reward.
Zhang Qiuming was also very scared. He didn't try to be brave when he heard this. He closed his eyes and silently recited military tactics in his mind to divert his attention.
The fourth round is the relay race. The rules of the relay race are to swim a straight distance of 200 meters, then cross an obstacle in the water, then climb the slide, slide down the longest slide into the water, and then swim another 200 meters, repeating this twice.
After understanding the rules, each group discussed who to send to which stage.
Those who are good at swimming will be arranged in the swimming segment, those who are nimble will be arranged in the obstacle crossing segment, and those who are not good at either will wait in the slide segment.
Because it was the last round, everyone was extremely excited.
Basically, the people waiting near the slide were all young men from Beijing. There was no way, in terms of swimming and physical flexibility, they were not as good as ordinary people.
After the team members finally handed the baton to them, they scrambled to grab the path to the slide, and then slid down the longest slide, only then their mission was completed.
This time, Shen Zhizui saw that everyone was rushing to get on the path that led to the slide, so he took a different approach, jumped into the air, stepped on the handrail of the steps, ran all the way up, and then slid down quickly from the longest slide.
"Shen Zhizui, you cheated!" someone shouted.
"The rules only say to go up from the necessary path, and the handrail is also on the necessary path. I stepped on the handrail to go up, which did not violate the rules." Shen Zhizui said confidently.
"That guy Shen Zhizui is such a cunning guy!" The others were a little slow to understand and became very angry.
Zhang Qiuming followed closely behind, and since he didn't have the chance to go up the stairs, he just walked up the handrail.
"My dear Shen! It's no wonder that your sixth child has been rebellious and unconventional since he was young. Now that he has grown up, his mind is more flexible than that of ordinary people." Murong Jinyang commented.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Shen Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered respectfully.
"And Lord Fu and Lord Yuan, your grandchildren or sons are extremely agile and quick, always taking the lead. Not bad!" Murong Jinyang nodded, and admired these pillars of the country very much.
Minister Fu and Siqing Yuan glanced at each other and hurriedly expressed their modesty.
After four rounds, Zhou Zheng's team, which had been inconspicuous, won the championship, Fu Yuanhao's team came in second, and Shi Anzhi came in third.
After the game, everyone started to have fun.
Looking at the huge thing towering into the sky, everyone was curious about what it was. When they heard that it was a sitting game, the young people were eager to try it out. The older people felt dizzy when they saw such a tall thing.
Finally, Zhou Zheng took the lead and all the younger generations sat on it.
"Eh, no, Minister Shi, the kids are playing on it, why are you joining in the fun?" Everyone soon noticed Minister Shi sitting on the Ferris wheel and asked him hurriedly.
"Although I am getting older, I still feel young in my heart. So, I am sitting here to prove whether I am old in appearance but young in heart!"
Minister Shi responded calmly.
Murong Jinyang found it very interesting, "What a man who is old but not old at heart! Is there any other minister who would like to try it?"
"I'd also like to try this Ferris wheel!" Shen Huai stepped out.
"I'll try it too!"
Therefore, whether the older officials want to try or not, they have no choice but to try given the current situation.
As the Ferris wheel started to turn, everyone's faces turned red and they screamed.
This was the scene that Ruan Qingqing saw when she arrived.
She immediately turned pale with fright, and silently prayed in her heart that none of those old men suffered from heart disease, otherwise the water park would go bankrupt before it officially opened.
"Don't be afraid. They are all people in the officialdom who have seen a lot of ups and downs. How could they be scared by these Ferris wheels?" Wu Shang hurriedly enlightened her.
"Wow!" Amid the sounds of vomiting, Ruan Qingqing looked around one by one. Sure enough, although everyone looked a little wilted, no one was feeling particularly unwell.
"Haha! It's so satisfying! It feels like flying through the clouds. The annoyance that has been accumulating in my heart for many days was completely dissipated by those roars!" Murong Jinyang praised after coming down!
Others also praised with pale faces, "It's really exciting! It's really soul-stirring!"
With the praise of the emperor and the high officials and the grand event, Wanghewan's water park quickly became famous throughout the country of Yunqing. People came to play like a flood, and the scene was extremely hot for a while!
