Our village makes a living by breeding eels.
Every June, around the time of Xiaoshu, the village holds sacrifices to bring good fortune to the eels.
The most eye-catching among the sacrificial activities is undoubtedly the dragon boat race.
But there is a taboo: women cannot board the boat.
I sneaked into the dragon boat pavilion and saw a golden dragon boat drum placed on the bow of the boat.
But the black spots on the drum are exactly the same as the moles on my sister's back!
"Xiuxiu, it's time for a new drum this year."
