Qiuqiu's gaze followed the man and the horse, blocked by the trees in the distance, and he could no longer see it. "What is that man here for?" Qiuqiu muttered in her heart, but suddenly heard Xiang Kang's voice coming from outside the door: "Ning'er? Mengtang? Pack up and come down, and let's go for a walk by the lake while it's still dark. ”

Qiuqiu turned around and saw Ning Er running lightly to open the door, and asked Xiang Kang with a smile: "Brother Xiang, are we still taking the night boat?" Xiang Kang turned his head to look at the sky and said, "Tomorrow, the night boat is ...... after all." Okay, well, depending on the situation, I'll go down first. Probably because Ning Er made some pitiful expression, Xiang Kang temporarily agreed.

Su Mengtang and Bihu turned out the small hats they brought to Qiuqiu and Ximen in the suitcases they brought, originally because they were worried about the wind and sun on the lake during the day, but they didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment. "Come here, Xiaoqiu, Ximen. When you go downstairs, you wear this, and you are not afraid of being seen by outsiders. She said as she helped Qiuqiu put her hat on her head.

Bihu was helping Simon tie the strap of the hat behind his chin, and Simon obediently raised his face and asked, "Master, why can't we be seen by outsiders, don't they like us?" Hearing this, Ning'er continued: "It's the two of you, it's too likable, what if it's taken away by Hanako?" So, remember to keep your head down later, understand? ”

Simon hurriedly nodded heavily, seeing him so solemn, Qiuqiu laughed a little, but Simon told her: "Xiao Qiu'er, you have to be careful, you are more likable than me, and you are the easiest to be photographed." Several people laughed when they heard this, and Su Mengtang said, "Hurry up and go down, it will be dark later." So they took their purses and went downstairs.

A group of people went west along Gushan Road, and on one side of Gushan Road, is the back lake of West Lake, in other words, the undeveloped part of West Lake, so there is no artificial scenery mixed in the lake and mountains, and it is a resort for famous artists to enjoy the scenery and paint. The back lake narrows and deepens to the west, and from under a small bridge, it joins the main lake in front.

Although the main lake of West Lake is large, there are two long causeways connected to the east and west. There are also countless islands and water ports, all of which are lined with places for fun and fun, or large and small, colorful boats, which are the favorite places for tourists to linger. The Southern Song Dynasty was strict in science, and there were few female dependents among the pedestrians, so from the beginning of going out, Li Zhuoran told a few girls not to laugh and swagger, just enjoy the scenery and walk. Everyone walked and looked, about half a cup of tea, saw that there seemed to be a horizontal road in front, at this time you can already hear the sound of the lake rippling in front of you, smell the fragrance of osmanthus. Everyone quickened their pace and walked forward, and saw that there was a wide road around the West Lake, called "West Lake Road", which was so big that it was almost impossible to see that it was a road, like a racecourse built around the West Lake.

There is no end in sight to this large circle of venues, but the place where it settles is connected with Gushan Road, so it is particularly lively, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Wine Inn, all of them are high and low and staggered and built facing the West Lake, and countless lanterns are lit up at this moment. Between the buildings, there are many small alleys, and the high walls of the taverns on both sides of the alleys are also hung with strings of lights. Countless lights reflect the lake on the shore red.

"Although I've been here a few times, but every time I come, I still feel that the scenery of this West Lake is beautiful, Yunhua, what do you think?" Zhao Qingzhou looked around at the scenery around him and asked. "Every time I come, every word in my mind is Liu Qiqing's "Wanghai Tide", the so-called 'southeast shape wins, Sanwu will be, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people's houses...... The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. Zhang Yunhuaxing came from it and memorized Liu Yong's words for a while.

When Qingzhou heard this, he took out the second half of the que, and just wanted to discuss with Yunhua and the two of them about the viewing route when Liu Yong made this word, but was suddenly interrupted by Xiang Kang not far in front: "Qingzhou, Yunhua, you see, how do we swim in the lake tonight?" Before he finished speaking, Ning Er ran to the front, shook Xiang Kang's arm and said:

"Brother Xiang, if you promise, you can take a small boat. I inquired clearly, let's go to Womei Bay over there, take a boat with lanterns, and go to the island in the middle of the lake at night, I heard that there is a theater on the island, and it is dedicated to talking about legends at night, and these days we will talk about "Liu Yi's Biography", let's go and listen to it. She said a long time, Xiang Kang was dizzy when she heard it, and turned back to ask everyone: "Do you all want to listen to the play?" ”

"Yes!" Ximen was the first to shout in March, and Ou Jinshu raised his hand and smiled: "I want to go too!" Ning'er happily ran over to high-five Ou Jinshu to congratulate her. Then I'll go too. Li Zhuoran hurriedly shouted. Bihu, Zifeng, and Ah Feng also tentatively asked if they could go to the play together, and everyone readily agreed.

Zhang Yunhua saw that Su Mengtang didn't say anything, so he asked her: "Is Mengtang also willing to go to the play?" Su Mengtang shook his head and said, "I've heard this legendary story a few times, so I won't go." Li Zhuoran knew that Zhang Yunhua was bound to accompany Su Mengtang, so he only asked Zhao Qingzhou: "Brother Qingzhou should go together." ”

Zhao Qingzhou said: "I've also seen it in Jiangning, so I won't watch it, but it's getting dark, let's try not to separate, let's take a boat to the island in the middle of the lake together, you watch the play, let's go around." Everyone headed south to Womei Bay, and as soon as they turned a large piece of rocks by the lake, they saw rows of green canopy boats lit with lanterns, neatly docked on the shore.

Li Zhuoran stepped forward and negotiated the price, each small boat plus the boatman, up to four people, but not too light or too heavy. So Xiang Liang took Tong Ning'er and March a boat, Li Zhuoran took Ou Jinshu and Qiuqiu a boat, Zhang Yunhua, Zhao Qingzhou and Su Mengtang a boat, A Feng and Bihu and Zifeng.

The small flower boat in Womei Bay is specially designed to take visitors to enjoy the night view of the West Lake, so it will go to the scenic spots of the West Lake, such as "Autumn Moon on the Flat Lake" and "Moon in the Three Pools", which takes about an hour, and finally returns to the island in the middle of the inner lake. The return journey is to go directly back to Womei Bay from the island in the middle of the lake, and the kung fu of two inches of incense will arrive.

For the journey from the departure boat to the island in the middle of the lake, there is a fear that the boat will be congested due to the same route, so the order of visiting several attractions is not consistent. So everyone got on the boat from the same place, but several small boats went to different spots. At first, Qiuqiu could still see Ximen March waving to him from the bow of Xiang Kang's ship, but after the distance slowly widened, he could only see the faint lights on other ships, and he couldn't see people or hear human voices.

There was silence, only the sound of the boatman rowing the water, one by one, and she suddenly had an idea: If she jumped off this boat, would she be able to return to the real society, her own home?
