Wen Ning hurriedly picked up the oars and rowed in the direction he pointed. Not long after, the ferry turned into a diversion and traveled for a while into a lotus lake.

The lotus leaves in the lake are high and low, and the pavilions are like covers. The slender ferry boat broke through the crowded lotus branches and rowed deep into the lotus pond. From above, the place where the ferry passes is swaying with a line of green leaves.

Walking through the blue umbrella, opening a wide lotus leaf, and suddenly seeing one after another full big lotus canopy hidden underneath, the mood at that moment seemed to be a small treasure suddenly discovered.

Wei Wuxian smiled and was about to reach out to pick it up, when Lan Wangji suddenly said, "Wei Ying." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "What's wrong?"

Lan Wangji said: "This lotus pond has an owner. ”

Wei Wuxian had a clear conscience: "Of course not." ”

Of course. Ever since Wei Wuxian was eleven years old, he often stole lotus pods in Yunmeng's various lotus ponds. I had been washing my hands for many years, but now I had to get some rations and continue my journey, so I had to go back to the rivers and lakes.

Lan Wangji said lightly: "I heard that the lotus ponds in this area are all mastered. ”

"......" Wei Wuxian said, "Hahahahahaha I've never heard of it. Let's go, then. ”

After being exposed, he was naturally embarrassed to ask Lan Wangji to do these nonsense things with him, and he went to steal other people's lotus pods to eat, how could he not listen to it. He was about to take the oars, but Lan Wangji raised his hand and took the lead in picking a lotus pod.

He handed the lotus to Wei Wuxian and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

Wei Wuxian frantically picked up his anger and desperately piled up on the boat, so that there was almost no place to stay on the ferry, and the three of them were sitting in the turquoise lotus pile. Tear open the green skin, and inside is a fluffy brown layer. One by one, the lotus pod is tender and green, the lotus seeds are snow-white, and the lotus heart is more delicate and watery.

They filled their stomachs with a boatload of lotus canopy, and floated down the river for another hour or two before they landed at another pier in Yunmeng.

The dock was located in a small town, and the shallow water was full of small fishing boats, and several fishermen and a woman on the shore were shouting and cursing something, as if they were eager to have a harpoon fight. Some shirtless, wheat-skinned teenagers swam around the river, watching the excitement and pricking the fierce sons. Suddenly, a ferry boat came slowly, and one of the men in the stern of the boat bowed his head, but the two young men in the boat were both outstanding. Especially the man in white sitting at the front, plain clothes like snow, with a dusty bearing, it is usually difficult to see such a character, and the two sides who are scolding can't help but stop their mouths and stare at each other, and look this way.

Lan Wangji had already been able to turn a blind eye to this kind of gaze from others, and when the ferry docked, he was the first to stand up, go ashore, and turn back to pull Wei Wuxian. Several teenagers swimming in the river gathered like fish, and seven or eight heads floated on the side of the ferry. A teenager said, "There are so many lotus pods, are you selling lotus pods?"

Wei Wuxian showed them the hollowed-out lotus skin, and said with a smile, "Sell it to you, are you willing to eat it?"

The woman who was scolding was very sensitive, and immediately changed her face and said with a smile: "Where are the sons? Are you visiting relatives? Are you still here to play? Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

Wei Wuxian's original intention was to go ashore from here and rush to Lanling again, so he had no intention of staying, and was about to decline with a smile, but Lan Wangji said, "Stay in the hotel." ”

Wei Wuxian was stunned: "Hanguang-jun?"

Lan Wangji looked at him: "Your physical condition is unknown. ”

Wei Wuxian had consumed too much energy in the mass grave before, and his mind and body had been tense for a long time, and a few hours ago, he was so angry that Jiang Cheng was so angry that he almost bled out, and it took a while to recover, such a situation really needs to be checked carefully. Although he feels fine now, if he holds on, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no accidents at critical moments. And he was not the only one who was exhausted in the past two days, and Lan Wangji didn't stop for a moment. Even if he didn't need to rest, Lan Wangji needed to rest.

Wei Wuxian said, "It's me who is impatient. Let's find a place to stay and check it out. ”

Both of them went ashore, but Wen Ning couldn't get off the boat. The group of young men swimming in the water saw that his complexion was pale and there were strange lines on his neck and cheeks, he lowered his head and was silent, looking strange, he didn't feel afraid, but he felt funny, and more than a dozen hands grabbed the side of the boat and couldn't shake it, shaking so that Wen Ning could hardly stand on his feet.

Wei Wuxian looked back and immediately said, "Hey, what are you doing, don't bully him." ”

Wen Ning hurriedly said: "Childe, I can't come down." ”

As he was asking for help, two more teenagers slapped the water with their hands and splashed him. Wen Ning smiled bitterly and was helpless. If this group of teenagers knew that this "person" who was surrounded by them and making a fuss could easily tear them into scattered pieces with their bare hands, and even crush the bones and slag, I am afraid that they would have fled home in a long time ago, how could they dare to have fun like this.

Wei Wuxian tossed the few remaining lotus pods over and said, "Go on!" The teenagers immediately dispersed and snatched the lotus pods. Wen Ning jumped ashore and patted the hem of his clothes.

The three of them walked into the city, and Wen Ning didn't like a place with many people, and after a while, they disappeared again. The woman followed her from the docks, where she had run an inn in the city and had quarreled with a few fishermen who had bullied her buddies. She enthusiastically recommended herself, wanting Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji to go to her inn to rest, pestering all the way: "Really! Whether it's wine or food, it's all home-cooked food, and the package is satisfied. ”

Wei Wuxian listened all the time, laughing without saying a word. This kind of active solicitation everywhere is generally a small shop, and he himself can live anywhere, with money to sleep in a luxury house, but no money to sleep in tree roots. But at this time, Lan Wangji was by his side, and he definitely couldn't imagine Lan Wangji lying under a tree or crammed into a dirty small room, he just wanted to find a decent inn. At this moment, passing by a three-story inn, Wei Wuxian paused and said to Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan, that's it......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the lobby of the inn and stopped talking.

The woman glanced at it and exclaimed, "Ouch, the two sons don't want to live here, do they?"

Although this inn is very magnificent from the signboard to the storefront, the lacquer is golden, the tables and chairs are polished, but there is only one guest in the lobby, an old man in a cloth shirt is eating peanuts with a bowl of tea. The guys are also cowardly, listless, yawning. The second floor is directly locked with a large lock.

Wei Wuxian said, "What, is this business very bad?"

No. Looking at the repair and decoration, the owner of this inn should not be short of money or manpower. Sitting north and facing south, it is airy and transparent. The location is even better. But the empty lobby has told them that business is indeed bad, very bad.

The woman said, "Let's go, let's go, the two sons should go quickly." You can stay anywhere, just don't stay here!"

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are both good night hunters from the family, as soon as they heard this, they knew the reason, and when they looked at each other, Wei Wuxian deliberately said, "Why? The inn is very beautiful." The food and drink in this room are not good?"

The woman waved her hand: "Of course it's not for this reason!" She said mysteriously: "I'm not a person who likes to chew the root of my tongue, I'll just say that this store has changed three owners." A jewelry store, a clothing store, and an inn are the ones now. But every family can't do it for long. How could this be the reason for the food in the room? I say that, you get the idea?"

"Oh-" Wei Wuxian smiled, "I don't really understand." ”

The woman said, "Look at this standing on the street, I can't tell for a while......, right?"

Wei Wuxian understood, and looked to the side. Lan Wangji said directly to the woman: "Take the trouble to lead the way, go to your store." ”

The woman happily led them back to her inn. At first glance, I was quite surprised. The inn is not big, but it is not small, it is indeed cleaned up and organized, and the guests on the first floor are almost full, which shows that the person in charge is a capable person, and the proprietress is not a lie. Most of the people in the shop are women, from teenage girls to chefs and aunts with big shoulders and round waists. Seeing the two young men who came in, one black and one white, their eyes lit up, and the girl who swept the floor was even more stunned when she looked at Lan Wangji.

The proprietress beckoned them to cook and entertain, and personally led Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji upstairs to see the house, asking as she walked, "How many rooms do the two sons want?"

At first glance, Wei Wuxian's heart jerked up, and he glanced at Lan Wangji quietly.

If it had been a month ago, this question would not have been asked. When he first came back, in order to disgust Lan Wangji, no matter how many rooms he wanted, he would eventually be entangled with Lan Wangji. In the end, Lan Wangji saw this, and from then on, there was only one room.

Not only that, he dared to do anything embarrassing, and counted them at his fingertips: yelling to squeeze a quilt with Lan Wangji, pillow a pillow, questioning why Lan Wangji was lying in his clothes, forcibly helping him untie his clothes, sleeping until midnight, and suddenly inserting his cold hands and feet into Lan Wangji's quilt, and then looking at his eyes innocently and affectionately......

For the first time, Wei Wuxian was shocked by his shamelessness.

After glancing at it three times, Lan Wangji still lowered his eyes and didn't speak, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Wei Wuxian began to think wildly: "Lan Zhan used to ask for one, why didn't he speak today? If he asked for two rooms this time, it means that he really minded." But if he still wants one, it doesn't mean that he doesn't mind, maybe it's just to make it look like he doesn't mind so I don't mind......"

Mind coming and going, the proprietress answered herself decisively, and said in a sonorous voice: "One room, right? One room is enough! My room here is comfortable for two people." The bed is not crowded. ”

After waiting for a while, Lan Wangji didn't say anything against it, and the soles of Wei Wuxian's feet stopped floating. The hostess pushed open a door, led them in, and poured two cups of tea. Wei Wuxian thanked him and said, "That big inn just now, you go on, what the hell is going on?"
