More than 300 contestants came to participate in the competition, and more people came to sign up.
Some of them knew how to skate, so they hired more people. They had planned to bring two people with them, but they decided to bring more people with them.
There were many fields made of rice fields, so there was no shortage of places for training.
The neighboring Zhang Village provided good service, so everyone was in good condition.
The skating competition would be held for three days. When asking for opinions, Li Chengqi gave three numbers: 1,000 meters, 2,000 meters, and 5,000 meters.
Everyone chose 5,000 meters. They probably thought that the longer the distance, the higher their chances.
As for what the meter was, it was just a step.
At this time, one step meant that the left and right feet walked once, which was called one step.
And the Half-step Bursting Fist had the same meaning. Taking a step and punching was called a half-step.
The distance of 5,000 meters was made of ice outside, and it was poured with ice later.
There was no professional dislocation knife, nor year-round technical training.
If one wanted to run 5,000 meters in 6 minutes and 20 seconds …
Therefore, it was not bad if one could skate in 15 minutes. Plus other preparation time, one group would take 20 minutes.
Ten people in a group, 30 contestants in an hour, three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon, 180 people in total.
The remaining contestants tomorrow would compete for the first place the day after tomorrow.
Li Chengqi didn't care. The day after tomorrow was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, he would give commemorative prizes to the eliminated contestants.
The first outdoor 5,000-meter speed skating competition of the Tang dynasty officially began.
"Bang!" As a crashing cannon was thrown to the ground, the ten contestants rushed out.
The track was 500 meters in length, and the innermost circle was 500 meters long.
From the outermost circle to the innermost circle, the contestants were not allowed to press on the lane in the first circle.
It was probably because they had never participated in such a competition. If Li Yi participated, he would never run as hard as he could and then skate as fast as he could.
The ten contestants didn't know how to maintain their physical strength, so they rushed out as soon as the competition started.
The villagers of Zhuangzi shouted, "Come on! Come on! "
The contestants were excited. They were counting the time. It was not enough to run faster than the contestants in their group, but also to surpass the contestants in other groups.
They didn't even know how to use the knife, which meant that they didn't know how to use the curve, so they started to exert their strength.
As soon as they reached the curve, they began to slow down at the same time. They found a place with their feet horizontally and controlled their bodies so that they wouldn't run outside.
If Li Yi was watching from the side, he would find it very interesting and would even laugh out loud.
However, the contestants and audience were very nervous. They felt that this technique was correct and that there was nothing wrong with it. Everyone was the same.
There was also a table and a stove at the front.
There were ten people from the Chong Wen Guan. They were in charge of recording and bringing it back to His Majesty and the ministers.
Each and every one of them had great literary talent, but they couldn't display it now because Li Longji wanted to see the 'scene'. How could those who could memorize have the time to write beautiful sentences?
They never wrote it.
"Contestant No.5 almost fell. No.7 rushed over from the side. No.1 was at the front. No.1 was panting …"
"No. 8 and No. 9 met. No. 9 glared at No. 8. The referee blew the whistle to warn No. 8. No. 8 lowered his head and overtook No. 9. No. 9 was still angry..."
"Number 2, quickly catch up with Number 1. When they reach the turn, Number 2 is anxious and tripped over his right foot. Number 1 is laughing …"
The talented people from the Chong Wen Guan wrote like this. There were no more sentences like 'Everyone fights for the lead. The Falling Ice Blade shines. The posture is beautiful.'
Li Chengqi strolled over to take a look. After reading it, he shook his head. It was not exciting at all. These people from the Chong Wen Guan were not good enough.
Third Brother would definitely not be satisfied. Did he have to go back and rework it? Change it into a poem or a ballad?
There was no sense of realism in that way. It seemed that he had to let them practice more.
"How is it?" A voice sounded from the side.
Without turning his head, Li Chengqi knew that it was Yao Chong. He asked, "Is it not busy over there?"
"From tonight onwards, the night market will charge. I just finished talking, so I came over to take a look." Yao Chong said. He looked around. "Where's Li Yi?"
"He's taking care of a baby. He's sick." Li Chengqi said.
Yao Chong also looked at what the people from the Chong Wen Guan were writing and nodded. "Not bad."
"Not bad? You call this realism? "Li Chengqi was not satisfied.
The people who were writing were angry, but they did not dare to refute. They were not free. They were writing on the spot.
"What else can it be?" Yao Chong spoke up for the group.
The ten people nodded. Yes, they were already the best.
"I'll go take a look at Brother Yi later and call him over." Li Chengqi was not willing to refute Yao Chong. He was ready to use his trump card.
The speed of the people on the field was getting slower and slower. They were bored and regretful.
If they had known, they would not have chosen the 5000 meters. They would have saved some energy at the beginning.
Now, it was not a matter of competing for the position, but whether they could slide or not.
They gritted their teeth and persevered.
The ten people formed a line. One of them was about to be lapped. His legs were trembling as he slid.
The first person to cross the line. The lines were buried in the ice and could be seen clearly.
Three people checked the stopwatch at the same time. 16: 20.57, 16: 19.78, 16: 20.33.
The average time was 16: 20.56.
Li Chengqi looked at three more groups. When the fourth group started, he went to Li Yi's courtyard.
Li Yi was quietly copying books. The palace maids and eunuchs took turns to look after the baby. The little guy was sleeping.
Then … the lower part of his body was wet.
"It's pooping," Taohong said and was about to change the baby.
The little guy opened his eyes. He huffed and coughed.
Li Yi hurried over to check the situation. He carried the baby and applied a medicinal mist. The baby coughed and spat out two mouthfuls of water. He could not exert any strength. His little face showed pain and anxiety.
Li Yi put the baby back and put on the sputum aspirator. As soon as he sucked, the little guy's eyes lit up. He felt comfortable. His little hands and legs kicked and a smile appeared on his face.
He changed the diaper and checked the baby's temperature. It was 38.2 degrees Celsius. There was no problem.
The warm watermelon juice was poured into a milk bottle and put into the little guy's mouth. The little guy drank it happily.
After a few sips, he turned his head, indicating that he did not want it.
He was put back. Not long after, he fell asleep again.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. There was a sense of satisfaction.
Li Chengqi came in and saw the baby. He said, "Whose child is this? He seems to be well fed."
"It's a secret. Doctors have to keep the patient's secret." Li Yi righteously refused to disclose the patient's information.
"It's a secret then. Brother Yi, the palace asked you to write a vivid record. The people from Chong Wen Museum did not write a good record. Do you think you can …"
Li Chengqi looked at the baby as he spoke. He knew that Brother Yi only had the baby in his heart now.
However, the baby just pooped, coughed, drank, and slept. His body temperature was not too high. He should be able to maintain it for a while.
Li Yi did not agree directly. He checked the data of the equipment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just half an hour."
"Watch this, this, and this. Once there is a big change and it rings, quickly come to me. If the baby wakes up or coughs, also come to me. "
Only then did Li Yi agree. He could not stay here all the time. When he slept here at night, the eunuchs and palace maids would take turns to watch over him.
He found that the virus in this era was too weak. It could not be cured with antibiotics.
"Brother, let's go. It's a vivid record, right? I'll take the loudspeaker. There are too many people and it's tiring to shout." Li Yi turned around and said to Li Chengqi.
"Okay, just let them see. There's nothing my Brother Yi can't do." Li Chengqi was proud. Yao Chong said that he could not do it. Then, do you think it's important?
