Chapter 179: Begging for a boat
The two walked side by side on the road, at this time the sky was dark, but there were thousands of lights lit, illuminating this world, many men and women walked together, stepping on the lake.
There are many boats in the lake, all of which are lanterns of different colors and shapes hanging on both sides of the curtains, and the melodious sound of the piano comes from the boats, making the crowd on the shore linger.
Yu Yao felt the scene in front of him, turned his head and raised his eyes to look at the master beside him, the other party's smooth chin, slightly drooping eyelashes did not show half of his emotions, and with the shaking of the lantern on the boat, the sparkling lake water also shone on his face.
"Today is the Day of Beggars. Ling Anfeng seemed to understand the doubts in Yu Yao's heart, and explained loudly.
Yu Yao said secretly, it turned out to be the Begging Festival, a day for men and women to go out and walk together, looking for a lifelong partner by the lake.
Ling Anfeng turned his head to look at her and asked softly, "Do you want to go boating?" Seeing the other party nodding, he turned to leave, instantly blending into the crowd and disappearing.
Seeing the familiar smell slowly dissipate, Yu Yao suppressed the discomfort in her heart and stood on the shore looking at the boats in the lake.
Suddenly, a gust of palm wind swept towards her back, Yu Yao's eyebrows froze, and she didn't move away immediately, and only when she was about to hit her back did she turn around and fall to the side.
And a figure flashed in her place, and before she could see the man's face, he had already fallen into the lake, splashing three feet high. Thanks to her precautions, the splash didn't wet the hem of her skirt, otherwise she would have given the man another kick.
"Help, help, girl, I can't swim, give me a hand. "The man's head will fall into the water, and then it will sink into the water, and it will be a man. He was shouting at Yu Yao, attracting other people to watch from the wall, and no one reached out to pull him.
Yu Yao ignored the other party, let the person keep calling for help, and looked at the other party with his hands on his chest.
The people around looked at this scene, a little unsure of the relationship between the two, and their eyes scanned back and forth between the two.
A woman said: "Girl, this boy asked you to pull him along, and saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter." โ
Yu Yao smiled slightly, poured over the crowd around her, and lightly opened her red lips, "I don't know him, why do you want to save him, since you said so, you have the final say in this floating slaughter." โ
The people around them widened their eyes and felt that this woman was so flamboyant, and she had a natural temperament, which was even more charming.
The woman thought that if she said this, the other party would reach out to fish out the woman who fell into the water for the sake of face, but she didn't expect the other party to point the finger directly at her, and she was stunned for a while.
Seeing the eyes of the people around her, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are really a femme fatale, no matter how beautiful you are, you can't hide your selfish heart." โ
"If you want to save you, you have this time to talk nonsense, and you have already rescued people. Yu Yao raised her chin in the direction of the man and continued to smile, "Isn't this coming up?" โ
After speaking, she saw the dull eyes of everyone, and the next moment she knew the reason, she asked the unique cold fragrance on the master's body, and her heart was suddenly relieved, and she turned to look over.
"Master, I ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Childe, the little woman's name is Xiaoyue, can you ask Childe to accompany me to the lake?"
Before Yu Yao finished speaking, she was squeezed aside coldly, and looked at the woman in front of her master with a wry smile, the one who had just asked her to save people.
Ling Anfeng didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, his footsteps moved, walked beside Yu Yao, looked down at her little face and said, "Let's go, let's go boating." โ
After he finished speaking, he motioned for Yu Yao to turn his head and look, and there was a very gorgeous shipyard there, very large, with lanterns hanging around the boat, and many beautiful patterns carved on them. As soon as it came to everyone, it grabbed everyone's attention, and the exclamations kept ringing out.
Yu Yao nodded, and he Shizun walked directly onto the boat, and the boat workshop gradually faded away in the amazed eyes of everyone.
There is a lot of space in the shipyard, there are many beautifully made decorations in it, there are large open windows on both sides, the wind blows the light gauze curtains, and the moonlight shines through the tulle and shines on the boat, a hazy feeling.
In the middle was a low table with a plate of snacks and two cups of tea, and the mist rose in a mist.
Yu Yao sat down directly, picked up a piece of dim sum, took a bite gently, looked at Shizun sitting opposite with bright eyes, and asked curiously, "Shizun, how do you know that I like to eat this snack?"
She never told anyone about her favorite food, and generally speaking, she ate two bites at each and then stopped eating them.
The smile on Ling Anfeng's face instantly fascinated Yu Yao, what it would look like for an iceberg to melt, she didn't know, but when Shizun laughed, she felt a crackling sound in her heart.
"I have quite a few properties in this town, and this ship is for my own use. โ
Yu Yao suddenly looked at each other, her eyes widened, she quickly got up and sat next to the other party, poured a cup of tea for the other party, and said doggedly: "Master, you are thirsty, come and drink water." โ
When she saw the other party looking at her, her breath stagnated, her head suddenly went blank, and she had to look at the other party blankly.
Ling Anfeng took the teacup handed by the other party, used the teacup to hide the corners of his lips slightly raised, and nodded without responding.
The atmosphere between the two was a little strange, Yu Yao came back to her senses, coughed lightly, and was about to get up and return to the opposite position, but was stopped by Shizun. She looked down at the other party suspiciously, and continued to sit beside him as the master intended.
The two were quiet for a while, just drinking tea and eating snacks, and then looking out at the lake through the window screen, their mood was very peaceful.
Yu Yao supported a few cases on her elbows, supported her chin with her fingers, closed her eyes, listened to the sound of the piano outside, and suddenly felt something on her lips. She hurriedly opened her eyes in shock, and saw that her jade-like fingers were pinching a piece of dim sum and putting it on her lips, and when she looked up along her fingers, she saw Shizun looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them were so close that they could see the reflection in each other's eyes.
Yu Yao hurriedly distanced herself, "Ahem, Master, I'll come by myself." Stretched out his hand to take the snack in the other party's hand, but the other party did not let go, and looked at the other party with some doubts. The temperature on her face rose more and more, and she felt the heat rise from her neck, which made her face even hotter.
Ling Anfeng didn't speak, just looked at her, still pinching the snack and putting it in the air.
Yu Yao gritted her teeth, got up to leave, lifted the curtain of the boat and walked out, the cold wind of the night blew away the heat on her face, she really couldn't stand this kind of unexplained action of Shizun.
She waited for a while, and saw that the master had not come out yet, so she was a little puzzled, and hesitated for a while before returning inside. As soon as I entered the room, I saw Shizun sitting next to several cases, his head buried very low, I couldn't see his expression, I could only feel that his mood was not high, and he was still holding the piece of dim sum in his hand.
With a sigh, Yu Yao sat down beside him, bit down the piece of dim sum with his hand, and then saw Shizun raise his head, his eyes were red, and his expression was very aggrieved.
Yu Yao was shocked, and she didn't feel the snack in her mouth when she fell down, she only felt her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her heart, which simply hit her heart.
Shizun's appearance made Yu Yao couldn't help but touch the other party's head, and after touching it, Yu Yao withdrew her palm in fright, a little helpless,
Ling Anfeng didn't seem to feel the other party's movements, but his mood obviously improved, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea gently, and then lifted the curtain and walked out.
After a while, Yu Yao also walked out, standing side by side with Shizun on the bow of the boat, looking at the other ships, immersed in this hazy moonlight for a while.
Ling Anfeng stood in the night, looking ahead, as if talking to himself, "It is said that if you make a wish on the lake tonight to get a lover, the lake god here will grant your wish." โ
Yu Yao looked at the many boats on the lake, and the first thing that came to her mind was that the lake god would probably be busy to death.
The other ships had been curious about the owner of this gorgeous shipyard, and when they saw a pair of beautiful people walking out, they all gasped.
After a while, many boats appeared around the two, and many people stood on the boards of those boats, all asking to be on the two-person boat.
"Two, can you get on your boat?" a man in a short black coat and brocade boots bowed to Ling Anfeng.
"No, you can't. The tone was indifferent, as brief as ever.
"Childe, can the little girl go up?" The voice was very excited, and there were two points of familiarity, Yu Yao raised her eyes and looked, it turned out to be the woman just now, but she didn't expect the other party to give up, and she chased here.
Yu Yao clasped her hands around her chest, leaned on the sill of the boat behind her, looked at the woman, and then looked at Shizun's expression, and didn't say anything, just wanted to see how Shizun chose.
"No, I can't. โ
When the woman heard these two words, she immediately hid her face and cried, which provoked the man next to her to quickly hug her into his arms, glaring at Ling Anfeng angrily, and her tone was very unkind: "Why do you bother with a woman, there is no tolerance at all." โ
Before he finished speaking, the woman in his arms left the other party's arms and retorted directly: "I believe that Childe is not such a person." As she spoke, the woman looked at Yu Yao and begged her, "Girl, please help me, I just want to come up and say a few words to my son." โ
Yu Yao pursed the corners of her mouth, her eyes rolled, she immediately straightened up, stood half a step behind Ling Anfeng, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I'm just Gongzi's personal servant, I can't make decisions for him." โ
As soon as he said that, the audience was silent, and even the woman's eyes widened, with two tears on her face, which was particularly ridiculous.
It's funny, who has such a beautiful maidservant, this person doesn't think they are blind, and just talk about a lie and prevaricate them.
After hearing this, the woman subconsciously shook her head and replied: "If you don't help me, forget it, and play with me as a three-year-old child, it's really too much!"
As he spoke, he stared at Yu Yao with fire in his eyes, wanting to burn the woman opposite out of a hole, and the towel in his hand was twisted into a twisted shape.
Yu Yao walked out from behind Shizun, smiled faintly, looked at the other party, and replied unceremoniously: "Then why aren't you coaxing me like a three-year-old child, what can't you say now, it's not that you can't hear it, you still need to get on the boat to talk about it?"
The woman was debunked by the other party, her face was white and red, very funny, and then she ran back to the boat crying. The man beside her glared at Yu Yao and the others fiercely, and then hurriedly walked in, and he could still hear his voice comforting the woman.
Ling Anfeng said lightly: "Yu Yao, row the boat to the lotus pond in front of you." โ
This ship is driven by spirit stones, so you can choose your own speed, the disadvantage is that you can only swim in the lake, and there is no possibility of combat.
The two of them rushed out of the surrounding boats, and the speed was so fast that the boat was lost in everyone's sight, so they could only return in disappointment.
Yu Yao drove the boat to a lotus pond according to what the master said, but unfortunately there were no lotus flowers, and the lotus leaves were all yellow, and the scenery was not beautiful.
"Master, what are we doing here?"
Yu Yao couldn't help but ask the other party, it was almost midnight, and it was very cold at night, Yu Yao's snow-capped mountain fog gauze skirt could avoid the cold, and she was not afraid of the cold at all.
She turned her head to look at Shizun, the other party's lips were slightly purple, and her face was pale, obviously she couldn't stand the cold air, she unconsciously held the other party's palm, and used spiritual power to warm the other party.
Seeing that Shizun's face had recovered its bloody color, she was relieved, she felt the other party's eyes staring at the palms of the two of them, and felt that the hand was a little itchy, but she didn't let go of the other party's hand.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, she continued to persuade: "It's too cold this night, Master, you have no cultivation, you can't hold it." โ
Ling Anfeng shook his head, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, staring at Yu Yao's face, and replied lightly, "I want to ask for someone." โ
One sentence proved that he was very determined, even if he knew that this legend was only a legend, but he still did not want to let go of any possibility.
Yu Yao didn't ask who the other party was, she was afraid that the answer was the answer in her mind, and she was afraid that it wasn't, so she shut up in time and didn't ask anymore, but quietly approached the other party, wanting to give him a little more warmth.
The moonlight shone on the two of them, as if gilded with a layer of divine light, like a beautiful picture.
As soon as the time came, Ling Anfeng hugged Yu Yao, as if he whispered something, but as if he didn't say it, he let go of Yu Yao after a while, and then said lightly: "Let's go back." โ
Yu Yao was confused, she suspected that Shizun had frozen her brain and didn't know what she was doing. She sighed, placed the spirit stone in the groove of the boat, and held Shizun's hand again to dispel the cold of the night.
Half an hour later, the two returned to the inn and each went back to his room.
Before Yu Yao was resting on the bed, she heard a knock on the door, and immediately opened the door to look, but saw that it was not knocking on her own door, but the door of the master next door.
The woman during the day.
She walked up to the other party in two steps and asked, "Shizun is asleep, I will talk about it tomorrow if I have something." After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction, so he went back to the room and lay down to rest.
However, my mind was full of Shizun's behavior tonight, which was a little incredible, but there were ripples in my heart, and I couldn't sleep at all, but after thinking about it, I felt that Shizun's attitude towards him had always been like this, and it didn't mean anything.
Yu Yao thought carefully about getting that hug in the lotus pond, could it be that Shizun was too cold?
In this way, she kept her eyes open, and fell asleep in the second half of the night, but in her sleep it was still what happened tonight, and even the expression of the master was exactly the same.
However, there seems to be something more in the dream, and it is inexplicable, and people can't figure out what it is.
