Rural Strongest Little Divine Doctor

A little entertainment was acceptable to the girls.

Qiao Zai Shui smiled and said, "Place your bets on who you think will win, let's place our bets."

Amused, the other girls started to bet with one or two yuan.

Luo Yang and Tan Shengmei stood on either side of the large pool, warming up first.

This was important as it prevented stiff muscles.

Even for those who were good swimmers, cramps could still happen once in the water.

If something went wrong in the water, it could be a matter of minutes before it became life-threatening.

Some bet on Luo Yang, others on Tan Shengmei.

At this point, Tang Guihua laughed and said, "This competition isn't fair. Niu Zai, you have to swim there and back, while Shengmei only has to swim to the other side. If you can beat her, then that would be reasonable."

After all, Luo Yang was a boy.

Just like in running, girls generally can't outrun boys.

The girls all agreed, "Right. Niu Zai, you have to swim there and back."

If they went by their rules, Luo Yang would indeed need the speed of a fish.

He chuckled, "You're intentionally making me lose."

An Yuying said softly, "Niu Zai isn't a professional swimmer, and can't possibly be much faster than Shengmei. Everyone just swim to the other side, and whoever is fastest wins."

Every time Luo Yang faced trouble, An Yuying was always the first to come to his defense.

And Tang Guihua loved to contradict An Yuying, snickering, "Niu Zai is a boy, he has a higher chance of winning."

Then, turning to Luo Yang, she said, "Niu Zai, it's settled then. You swim there and back. If you take less time than it takes Shengmei to swim to the other side, then you win."

After giggling twice, she added, "I bet on Shengmei to win. Niu Zai, if you lose, you owe ten to one. I'm betting one hundred yuan."

If Luo Yang lost, he'd have to give Tang Guihua one thousand yuan.

Hearing this blatant grab for money, Luo Yang could not help but laugh and say, "Sister Guihua, you really know how to make a profit. I've got to hand it to you."

The other girls also placed bets on Tan Shengmei to win, all betting at ten to one odds.

In truth, Luo Yang hadn't agreed; they were forcing him to do it.

Only An Yuying bet on Luo Yang to win. By Tang Guihua's rules, the chances of Luo Yang losing were quite high.

An Yuying just wanted to support Luo Yang and didn't care about whether he won or lost.

"Hurry up and place your bets, your odds are one to one, only mine are ten to one," Tang Guihua corrected one thing.

Only she was entitled to the high returns.

The other girls didn't argue and just let her take charge.

Luo Yang smiled and asked, "Sister Guihua, what if I win?"

Including Tang Guihua, those who bet on Tan Shengmei to win never considered the possibility of losing.

The large pool was a rectangular swimming pool, approximately twenty meters in length.

Swimming there and back meant forty meters.

Tan Shengmei had to swim twenty meters, Luo Yang forty.

That made winning quite a challenge for Luo Yang.

If it were a land race, say Tan Shengmei ran a hundred meters and Luo Yang ran two hundred meters, the crowd would still think Luo Yang stood a chance to win.

But in the water, it was a totally different story.

Tang Guihua chuckled, "Niu Zai, if old lady here loses, you can ask me to do whatever you want."

After hearing this, Luo Yang laughed and said, "Okay. Sister Guihua, if you lose, you have to cook breakfast for me every day, without pay."

The girls snickered.

At the sound of the whistle, Luo Yang and Tan Shengmei both dove into the water.

From Tan Shengmei's swimming form, it was clear she knew how to swim well.

But ever since Luo Yang received the "Shennong Scripture", his constitution had improved qualitatively.

In the water, his diving capabilities were also stronger than others.

He didn't need to come up for air often and could swim a long distance in one breath.

As it turned out, despite swimming there and back, Luo Yang still managed a narrow victory over Tan Shengmei.

Tang Guihua laughed coquettishly, "Niu Zai, this time doesn't count. We'll compete again next time."

After that, she went to play in the smaller pool.

The other girls followed, and they allowed Luo Yang to join in playing in the small or medium pool, where they started a game of eagle catching chicks in the water.
