Chapter 211: The Other Shore
Since Xiao Hong gave Flying Fish Island to Xiao Diyuan, Xiao Diyuan will come here every six months or so, and the specific date of coming is uncertain, which is related to his eclectic style of doing things, and secondly, it can achieve the effect of surprise inspection. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info He also plans to go to the Dongyun City that Xiao Hongxin gave him every six months or so in the future.
This day was the second day of his arrival on Flying Fish Island, and after learning about the situation of the entire Flying Fish Island yesterday and getting enough sleep last night, he woke up today feeling relaxed and refreshed, so he decided to go to the beach.
So he walked to the beach accompanied by Pang Yi, the designated person in charge of Flying Fish Island, followed by three guards.
Pang Yi is in his forties this year, with a medium build, well-rounded facial features, his eyes are full of wisdom, and he has a relaxed temperament in his gestures.
He is a talent personally selected by Xiao Diyuan.
The two have basically the same views on how to manage Flying Fish Island.
The sea is calm in the early morning, with a slight morning mist flowing on the surface and the occasional seagull or two hovering over it. The sea breeze is also gentle, and when it blows in your face, you will suddenly forget all your troubles.
"Chancellor likes it very much. Pang Yi suddenly stopped, bent down and threw back into the sea a fish that had been sent to the beach by the tide and was dying, and said with a smile.
Because he liked it, he applied to Xiao Diyuan to bring his wife, children and mother with him less than two months after he came here, and he hoped that they would be able to see the sea every day, walk on the beach every day and watch the sunrise and sunset on the beach like him.
Pang Yi has no ambitions, in his opinion, being able to do what he likes to do, and being able to support his family with this work, and seeing the sea every day is already very satisfying, so he feels like a big idler, and there is always a contented smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes everyone who comes into contact with him feel extremely relaxed.
Hearing him say this, Xiao Diyuan also smiled and said, "It's good if a huge person likes it." ”
So the two of them continued to walk forward unhurriedly.
When he walked to a stone cliff, Pang Yi said, "There is a freshwater lake not far ahead, which is rich in swordfish (1), would Your Highness want to go fishing and come back for lunch?"
The taste of the swordfish is very delicious, and it has the reputation of 'fresh on the river', most of them live on the river, and some of them will also live in freshwater lakes, and this freshwater lake that Pang Yi said is rich in this kind of fish.
Xiao Diyuan, who wanted to use the past few days to relax, immediately agreed.
Pang Yi hurriedly asked people to go back and prepare fishing tackle.
Soon after, the fishing tackle was brought in, and the group went down the slope to the freshwater lake.
This freshwater lake is located at the junction of the two countries, so this side of the lake belongs to the Akebono country, and the other side is the territory of the Akikuni.
Pang Yi and Xiao Diyuan sat down on a stone slab by the lake, threw the fishing rod into the lake, and began to wait with bated breath for the fish to take the bait.
While waiting for the fish to take the bait, Pang sprinkled a handful of steamed bun crumbs on the surface of the lake from time to time as bait.
In about half an hour, Pang Yi caught one.
Although Xiao Diyuan had not yet fished, he was not panicked, and after carefully analyzing his problem, he continued to hook and fish, and soon caught a swordfish that was twice as big as the one Pang Fangcai caught.
Pang Yi was even happier when he saw that he was catching a fish, and he ran over to help catch the fish in a hurry, and said, "Second Highness's skills are good!"
Because there were large trees behind them, even when the sun rose, they would not be exposed to the sun, and they fished unhurriedly. Later, because Xiao Diyuan's skills were getting better and better, he was not as nervous as before when fishing, so he and Pang chatted slowly while fishing.
The topics of conversation are basically about Flying Fish Island, and there is no talk about political topics in half a sentence.
Of course, Pang Yi is not interested in political affairs, so he will not take the initiative to ask about this matter.
Not long after, the topics that should be talked about were finished, and the two fell silent again.
At this time, Xiao Diyuan raised his eyes and looked around.
Originally, he had only looked casually, but he quickly fixed his gaze on one place—on the shore of the other side of the lake, there stood a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes and a graceful figure, and beside the beautiful woman stood a young man dressed as a scholar.
Judging from their age difference, they don't look like mother and son, nor like a couple, but judging from their behavior, they seem to be closer than friends.
As if suddenly attracted, Xiao Diyuan stared at the beautiful woman steadily.
He wasn't a womanizer, but he felt something about this beautiful woman that made him feel very kind, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
The Queen Mother walked along the border line and stopped when she arrived at this freshwater lake.
When she looked across the lake, she immediately met Xiao Diyuan's gaze.
At this time, although Xiao Diyuan was not wearing a formal dress that represented his identity, a white dress was enough to set off his noble atmosphere, and people knew at a glance that he was not from an ordinary family.
At this glance, the Empress Dowager was stunned - the person on the other side of the lake looked seven or eight points similar to Emperor Li Pei.
The Queen Mother suddenly felt as if she had been touched by something, and her whole body trembled violently.
The lake was not very big, so Xiao Diyuan could see the Empress Dowager's every move clearly, and he couldn't understand why this beautiful woman had such a frightened expression on her face when she saw him, and even fell on the young man beside her as if she had received a major blow.
He frowned unconsciously, but his eyes remained fixed on her.
Then, he involuntarily nodded and smiled at her, which was kind of a greeting to her.
The Queen Mother smiled at him as well, and then was helped away by the young man.
If it weren't for the high barbed wire fence installed on the border line, if it weren't for the fact that crossing the border was a crime, Xiao Diyuan would definitely swim over this lake and meet her up close.
The beautiful woman, he felt that there was a story about her, and he was very interested in that story.
She walked slowly, but as she went, she glanced back at him from time to time.
Xiao Diyuan watched her walk away in a daze, not even noticing that the fish had been hooked.
Pang Yi noticed it, and immediately ran over to catch the fish, and asked in a tentative tone: "Did the beautiful woman on the other side of the lake remind His Royal Highness of someone?"
Xiao Diyuan hurriedly shook his head.
Pang Yiyi: "If you don't believe it, the eyes of the second hall are straight." ”
"It's just déjà vu, but it's not really seen. Xiao Diyuan closed his eyes and said, for a while there was a sense of trance that he didn't know whether he was in a dream or in reality at the moment.
