Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

"Yu Shui, sing another song, I want to hear more." He Lai said with a smile.

Yu Shui was riding her bike with a red face. Many people had already noticed her when she was singing just now.

Just then, Shazhu came back.

"Xiao Laizi, the first place is still a bit far from you. Why don't you speed up? Uncle He is right behind them."

Silly Zhu said.

"Brother Zhuzi, if you sing a song, I will speed up a little."

He Lai said with a smile.

Xu Damao was really speechless behind him. He Lai really knew how to have fun. Fortunately, he had He Lai's good methods, so he didn't feel tired at all when running now.

"Well... okay, you, Brother Zhuzi, are ready to go. Listen, unity is strength, unity is strength. This strength is iron, this strength is steel, and it is harder than iron..."

Whether Shazhu sings well or not is another matter, but his loud voice has inspired people on both sides of the road! Especially the workers!

Soon the song "Unity is Strength" rang out among the crowd.

"Harder than iron, stronger than steel! Towards..."

He Lai had to run faster now, this chorus was a bit deadly! He Lai increased his speed by a lot and left Xu Damao behind in an instant.

Xu Damaoye noticed that He Lai wanted to escape from here. After all, He Lai had repeatedly emphasized to him the need to control the rhythm, but He Lai ended up flying out by himself!

Xu Damao knew that he could not compete with He Lai, so he only increased his speed a little bit and did not choose to catch up with He Lai all at once.

After He Lai ran far away, he realized that he was running too fast, so after he got away from the singing, he gradually slowed down until he was together with Xu Damao again.

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, why are you slowing down? If you speed up a little bit, you can catch up with the team in front."

Sha Zhu said anxiously.

"Brother Zhuzi, wait until we get to Tieshishi Hutong and tell me. I'll do my best then!"

He Lai said to Sha Zhu. Tiananmen Square is about five or six kilometers away in Tieshishi Hutong, which belongs to the second half.

"Ah? OK, I'll wait for you there."

When Sha Zhu heard what He Lai said, he stopped talking and rode his bike to Tieshishi Hutong, ready to wait for He Lai there.

Now He Lai's ears were finally a little quieter and he slowly began to enjoy the fun of running.

However, every time you pass a street, the cheers of the crowd always sound on time, cheering for your arrival, as if they will never get tired. The shouts come one after another, and there are many people beating gongs and drums, and some even set off firecrackers.

As long as people who participate in running are not injured, basically no one will give up.

Of course, Yan Fugui was an exception. Seeing that Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were completely unable to catch up with the others and knowing that they would definitely not be able to get into the top six, he whispered in their ears, "Don't run, there's no hope." After that, he rode his bicycle back.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang also understood what their father meant. They knew that they could not outrun the others, so it was better for them to give up now.

So the two of them pretended to faint and were carried into the medical aid station by the medical team for treatment.

According to the Yan family tradition, if you come to run and don’t get a ranking, you have to put on a bottle of saline or glucose before going back!

He Lai has surpassed more and more people and is gradually approaching the second echelon.

He Lai also saw the figure of Sha Zhu in front of him and knew that it was time for him to exert his strength.

"Yushui, give me the kettle." He Lai said, stretching out his hand.

"Oh, Brother Lai, here you go." Yu Shui rode the bike with one hand and gave the water bottle around his neck to He Lai.

He Lai took a big gulp and gave the kettle back to Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, I'll go ahead and scout the way first. You can start speeding up after ten minutes. Yushui, help Damao keep an eye on the time."

"Okay, Brother Lai!" Yu Shui agreed with a smile. Her Brother Lai was finally going to exert his strength.

Xu Damao didn't say anything. He was not like He Lai, who could distract himself to talk while running. He just silently took a big sip of water and returned the kettle to Yu Shui.

"Rainwater, ten minutes." After He Lai adjusted himself, he rushed forward with all his strength at an astonishing speed.

"Haha, our little Laizi is here." Sha Zhu immediately followed on his bike.

Within five minutes, He Lai caught up with his father He Zhan.

"Hey, Dad, it's getting late. I'll leave first."

He Lai said this with a smile and passed him.

"Uncle He, drink some honey water quickly. Xiao Laizi accelerated because of this."

Sha Zhu quickly handed over a kettle.

He Zhan was now a little overwhelmed, so he just took the kettle and started drinking.

Then he threw the kettle away and quickened his pace, so as not to fall too far behind He Lai.

Poor Shazhu had to go back to pick up the kettle.

He Lai caught up with the first echelon, which consisted of people from Sijiucheng Mining College and Sijiucheng Sports College.

He Lai didn't care about that and accelerated, surpassing them and continuing to charge towards the three in front.

These people were all stunned. They didn't expect that there was someone with such speed at this time. Now everyone was nervous. After all, if there was one more spot in the top six, they would have one less chance, so they all sped up.

Soon He Lai caught up with the third place, and at an extremely fast speed.

This man is the younger brother of the man who made a bet with Yu Shui and said he would come first.

But he has a good attitude. He doesn't think He Lai has the ability, he just thinks he is showing off!

But when I saw him surpass the second place in front of him, and even surpass the first place, Dong Yaolu, who was further away, I felt uneasy.

Soon the top three were stunned. There was no other way. With He Lai leading the way, they had to speed up in advance, otherwise after a while, even He Lai’s figure would not be visible!

In this way, the people in the first echelon were led astray by He Lai alone, and they all began to accelerate in advance.

He Lai deliberately slowed down his pace, and when they were about to overtake him, he accelerated again and quickly widened the distance between them.

After repeating this several times until they reached Mishi Street, Dong Yaolu and his friends realized that they couldn't catch up with He Lai at all! This was embarrassing, as they had almost used up all their strength and couldn't speed up any more!

However, Xu Damao, under He Lai's reminder, began to slowly speed up and was now approaching the first echelon.

Our comrade He Lai was still pulling back and forth with the second person. He deliberately stayed more than ten meters ahead of him and kept looking back, which made the man almost vomit blood in anger. Every time He Lai looked back, his rage increased a little, and his speed could not help but increase a little, increasing his own consumption. A good long-distance run was ruined by He Lai.

Soon, Xu Damao caught up with the second place with only one thousand meters left.

He Lai also saw Xu Damao following him.

"Brother Damao, victory is just ahead! Charge!" He Lai shouted.

"Charge!" Xu Damao also roared, then raised his head and accelerated as hard as he could.

Eight hundred! Six hundred! Five hundred! Dong Yaolu and his men behind also wanted to move forward.

But He Lai seemed to be blocking them deliberately, always getting a little bit ahead of them to block them. If they wanted to bypass He Lai, they had to overtake him from the outside.

In the last 300 meters, He Lai didn't hold them back, after all, it wasn't very glorious.

He Lai took a quick step and caught up with Xu Damao at a distance of 100 meters. It seemed that Xu Damao was a little exhausted.

"Brother Damao, one, two, one, two, come on, we're almost there!"

Xu Damao had lost all consciousness and was just running forward mechanically at a very slow speed!

He Lai looked and saw that the three people behind him were already catching up with him about ten meters away.

He Lai was so anxious that he took Xu Damao's arm and ran towards the finish line together.

"Brother Damao! Reach out your hand!" He Lai shouted, and Xu Damao instinctively stretched out his other hand and touched the tape, which was the finish line.

He Lai said that his rabbit tactics were pretty good and he won without any danger!
