Lu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Yin Qingqi said.

His martial arts are too low, even if he follows the two of them to the island, he will only become a burden to them at that time, it is better to stay on this shore and wait for them to come back, it may be safer here.

Lu Xiangxiang has been wandering here for nearly twelve hours, and he has not encountered anyone or anything other than Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan, thinking that there should be no such things here, and naturally he understands that there is not much danger here. Lu Xiangxiang's own strength is low, and it is the best choice to stay here.

It's just that for some reason, Lu Xiangxiang always feels a faint sense of loss.

Maybe she still has a dream of pointing to the end of the world, and it is a pity that this place is so close to that dream that she can almost reach out and touch it, but she wants to miss it.

Yin Qingqi originally planned to let her go to the top of the cliff to find Shaocan, after all, he is now seriously injured and may die soon.

If someone is taking care of her, there is still a possibility of survival, but thinking that Lu Xiangxiang once said that she is not very sensitive to the road, Yin Qingqi gave up this idea.

Lu Xiangxiang watched Yin Qingqi and them get on the boat, while she sat on the ferry obediently, she knew that she was easy to get lost, so she had no plans to go around.

Yin Qingqi thought about it for a while, and left some of the dry food he brought from Cangling Town to Lu Xiangxiang.

Then he said to her: "Although I am very confident that I can solve this matter quickly, but just in case, I will leave you some food, there may be fish or something in this lake, if you are bored waiting, you can try to catch some, it will not be left with nothing to do." ”

Yin Qingqi just suggested, she suggested according to her own personality, if she is too bored by herself and always wants to find something to do, it is naturally impossible to sleep in this case, so it is better to cook, which can not only replenish your physical strength, but also keep your guard at all times.

Lu Xiangxiang thanked Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan gratefully, she did have this plan, but she was very suspicious that there were any living creatures in this lake, because the lake was as silent as stagnant water, and it really didn't look like there were fish.

But in any case, she is very grateful to Yin Qingqi, and with this food, she may be able to wait for a while.

After saying goodbye, Qi Yuan rowed a small boat and carried Yin Qingqi forward, but soon he discovered a strange thing.

No matter how much he controlled the direction of the ship, the ship would not change, as if it had a predetermined track, straight in the direction it wanted to go.

Yin Qingqi laughed and said to Qi Yuan: "Maybe it's not because the ship has ghosts, but because your skills in driving the boat are not good enough." ”

Qi Yuan's face darkened, and he tried his best to change the direction of the boat, but on this lake, there were not many methods he could use, and he had to control not to break the boat, which was not a simple matter.

Yin Qingqi pulled him to sit down and said to him: "Okay, since it has a place to go, we don't have to worry about it, perhaps, it is precisely because in this thick fog that no one can see the direction clearly, so this boat needs to be able to distinguish the direction by itself." ”

Yin Qingqi is looking forward to it more and more, looking forward to what kind of secrets are hidden in the back mountains of Cangling Town?

It's strange to look forward to what kind of landscape will appear after the fog clears.

"Hmm."

Qi Yuan sighed and sat opposite Yin Qingqi, and the two sat looking at each other, but they had the illusion of peace for a moment.

If there is such a technique of letting the boat swim on its own, it may be very useful, at least when boating on the lake, you don't need a dedicated helmsman to control the boat, so that you might be able to do more.

"What are you thinking?"

Yin Qingqi glanced at Qi Yuan strangely, only to feel that his expression was very subtle now, as if he had thought of something good.

"I'm wondering how this little boat is able to swim on its own."

Qi Yuan was telling the truth, but it was only half of the truth.

"Oh...... I think that after this matter is discussed, I should send a message to Ruoxi, there may be some heavenly secret hidden here, as for this ship, it may be Lubanshu......

As long as we win, we can naturally get the corresponding technology, I remember, there is no such magical thing in the shipbuilding technology of the Wa Kingdom that Aoi provided at the beginning, maybe they can come over and study it together, and there is ......"

Qi Yuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at Yin Qingqi without speaking, and Yin Qingqi suddenly realized that she and Qi Yuan were leaving the palace without permission to find freedom, but why was her mind full of things in the court?

Perhaps, after working all their lives, it is not so easy to give up, or maybe thinking about people's livelihood and social affairs has been melted into their minds.

"Well, I'll let them come over and have a look at it when the time comes, after all, these are things that are meaningful to the country."

"Forget it."

Yin Qingqi pursed her lips, thinking a little rebelliously that she didn't need to worry about these things.

"Qingqi, what do you think of coming here?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, do you think you'd like to let you live like this for the rest of your life?"

Yin Qingqi was a little confused, looked at Qi Yuan and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"In this life, as long as you are here, anything is fine."

Qi Yuan held Yin Qingqi's hand and said, "This is my lifelong wish, I have no other wish other than to be by your side." ”

Yin Qingqi frowned, and suddenly realized that he seemed to want too much, and he was too greedy compared to Qi Yuan.

"Qi Yuan, I want to live freely, but now I'm confused, what is freedom?"

Yin Qingqi spoke out about her troubles for the first time, she originally thought that it was the rules in the palace that bound her, but after leaving the palace, she still felt that she was not free, perhaps it should be said that it was not the kind of freedom she wanted.

But when she really asked her what she wanted, Yin Qingqi couldn't say anything.

Qi Yuan tapped Yin Qingqi's forehead with his finger and said, "I don't know if you ask me, after all, all I want is you." Perhaps, only one person can answer your question. ”

"Who?"

"Yourself."

Qi Yuan said with a smile, and at the same time he also sighed in his heart.

There is no free person in this world, everyone has formed an invisible shackle on the body because of various things, which is a shackle at some times, maybe a drag, but sometimes it is an indispensable existence.

As a human being, there will always be various connections with the outside world, which determines the nature of freedom, which is relative and needs to be given up.

But in any case, there can be no absolute freedom.

Yin Qingqi lowered his head, sighed and said: "Perhaps, only I think this is "freedom", this is "freedom". ”

After she said this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she pointed to the distance not far in front and said, "We seem to have arrived." ”
