Tong Fu sat at the front of the boat, a pair of slender feet as white as frost and snow, soaked in the lake water, like the bright moon Lingbo.

The blue water surface was stirred by the toes, and the water ripples were silent, rippling in circles.

A purple coarse cloth shirt with a moon-white cloth skirt and a skirt tied around a belt. The double screw bun was not very well combed, and a few strands had been loosened and hung softly around the neck.

The age of the golden hairpin cardamom does not need any makeup, and it is already beautiful.

At this moment, the distant mountains and rivers gradually disappeared into the night, and several small islands in the lush lake were also blurred, leaving only a dark outline.

She looked at the shadows of the lotus leaves in the night, and lost her patience.

The mountain in the distance is called Zhoushan, behind the mountain is the palace wall of the Ming Dynasty, the east foot of the mountain is the Guozijian, and the city wall in the west. And this extremely open water, known as Sangbo in ancient times, is now called Houhu.

There are large lotus pods in the lake, and the best time to pick them is in the evening, but no one dares to enter the lake at that time.

In fact, no one is allowed to enter these waters at any time, except in the evening.

No one knows why this place is forbidden, but something is hidden on a few small islands in the lake. At first, they were not allowed to go to the island, but later, even all boats were not allowed to enter the water, nor were they allowed to catch fish and shrimp or pick Lingci grass......

"Sister, Brother Suyuan, they also moved away, why don't we go?" Behind him came my sister's muffled voice.

Tong Fu turned around and motioned for her to be quieter, glanced at the dense reeds behind her, and then lowered her voice, "Xiaorou, Daddy is reluctant to be here, and I am not willing to do so." ”

Tongrou pursed her lips, with a look of grievance, "I can't catch fish and prawns, I'm always hungry, I learned words with the female gentleman today, my stomach growled, and they all laughed at me......"

"What are they doing? They are just jealous of our little soft characters and good reading. Kiri Fu took one of the cattail mats on the boat in his hand.

She tidied up the lotus leaves used for covering, "Xiaorou, I'm going to pick the lotus canopy now, don't make a sound, if I haven't come back after this incense is burned, you can go home first." ”

Tongrou looked at the incense burning on the bow of the boat with some concern, and then looked up at her sister.

Tong Fu rubbed her bun and gave her a big smile, "Sister, I'll bring you delicious lotus seeds back tonight, just wait." ”

With that, she tidied up her clothes slightly, slid silently into the water, and swam to the middle of the lake with a cushion of cattails covered with lotus leaves.

The lake water that basked for a day, in that night, was like a thousand poured glass and warm jade, and Su Bo was warm, showing her delicate and dexterous figure.

Tong whisk swims very fast, since she was a child in this waterside fishing shrimp picking lotus, her water nature is in the original between the households, it is also considered to be first-class.

At this moment, she looked into the distance, and large lotus leaves were clustered around several islands in the middle of the lake. She had never been to the deepest island, where there were no lights at night, but there were people patrolling the island day and night.

Compared with the school guards in the city who wear flying fish brocade clothes, these people seem to have unicorn python patterns on their robes. According to Daddy, it is only available to thousands of households.

What's more, they are equipped with a gilded and silver Changyue scimitar around their waists, and they have a very nice name, called Xiuchun.

Tong Fu always felt that this name was really gentle, which made people always think of the weaver girl in front of the big flower building wooden loom near the window of Jinfang, and the beautiful face...... It is far from the bloodthirsty and terrifying killing intent of this knife that is rumored......

Jin Youzi looked at the lake that had reached his waist, closed his eyes and calmed down a few times before opening his eyes again.

In front of him is a dark lake, with a lot of shadowy lotus leaves. In the middle of the lotus leaf, there should be a brilliant Xuanwu red lotus. On the island's Kukaku, he would observe the colors of life every day.

But right now, those figures of Huan Ting who used to look at the railing in the distance are within reach, but half of his body is immersed in the lake, and he is already in a cold sweat.

He didn't know much about water, and he was desperate to take this risk.

If it weren't for the person who saw the person who was in charge of the lake that day, patrolling the underwater embankment hidden among the lotus leaves, and the water level of the lake gate dropping recently, he would not have thought of such a way to leave the island in the middle of the lake......

It's just that the underwater embankment is not smooth, and the part near the island can still walk freely, and the closer it is to the shore, the more bumpy it becomes, and it shows a downward trend.

He pulled the gourd on his back tight, and he had seen fishermen use gourds as floats to prevent drowning, which should not be a lie......

After walking more than ten steps, he suddenly felt that his feet were slipping and tired, and something was wrapped around his ankles, so Jin Youzi hurriedly leaned over to pull it. The action was a little haste, and the whole person immediately fell into the water.

Although it did not make a splash or make any sound, he drank a few sips of water in a hurry, and the person sank.

was doing it in violation of the prohibition without permission, and he would never dare to call for help, otherwise it would be a crime to lose his head directly if he was dragged up......

The moonlight was clear, and when people reached the water, they saw that it was the aquatic plants that wrapped their ankles. He was surprised that the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake were so luxuriant.

I was secretly sighing that I was afraid that I would be a life here, when I suddenly saw the lush and fluttering water and grass suddenly part, and a figure jumped out from there.

I saw that the man took out a sharp weapon from his waist that looked like an arrow, not an arrow, a knife, not a knife, and turned sharply between his fingers, and soon twisted all the aquatic plants wrapped around Jin Youzi's feet.

When he got his feet free, the man put a rope in his hand, and he pulled the rope and stepped up the water, until it broke out of the water.

He grabbed an object on the surface of the water and inhaled heavily.

After breathing, Jin Youzi saw clearly that what he was holding in his hand was a pampas mat, which was covered with lotus leaves, and under the lotus leaves were more than a dozen lotus pods.

He looked around, but didn't see the man he had just rescued. Just as he didn't know what to do, the water beside him moved slightly, and a man came out of the water, and also climbed the cattail mat, looking at him.

The eyebrows and eyes are soft, the red lips are lightly pursed, the black eyes are rippling, the face is as bright as the moon, and a few strands of ink hair are snaked between the forehead and temples. Occasionally, droplets of water fell from the tail of the hair and fell into the lake, rippling several times.

Jin Youzi was speechless for a while, and the words turned in his throat several times before he could speak, "But the fairy in the lake ......"

The woman burst out laughing, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, which reflected the moonlight and water.

Jin Youzi looked at it for a while, only then did he feel reckless, and hurriedly looked away, "Sudden girl, don't look at the girl......"

"You're from Liang Zhou?" She asked in a whisper.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"You want to go ashore?" She looked at him and asked, "Why don't you take a boat?" ”

"Every 10 or 6 days, you can sail across the lake and go ashore. Today, I heard that my mother was sick, and this is ......" There was a sad color between his eyebrows.

She stared down for a moment, "I can help you get ashore, but, can you not steal me...... The matter of poaching is reported to the patrol guard? ”

Jin Youzi was overjoyed when she heard this, "If the girl can help me go ashore, how can I take revenge and never hand you over to Huwei." I will thank you for the day to come......"

"There's no need to thank you again," she said with a smile, "and if you see me again in the future, just pretend you can't see it......"
