All the talk has been said about this, what else can others say?

There were a lot of them, and there were seven of them, plus the boatmen, so they chartered a medium wooden boat.

Such boats are all prepared for tourists to enjoy the scenery, and it is only in the past two years that they have emerged.

There is no canopy on the ship, but the bow and stern are equipped with wooden handles, and a large umbrella is tied, which can also play a certain shade role, but the effect is not obvious.

When Yuan Ning came, he specially prepared a straw hat for each person, so he couldn't sunburn his younger brothers and sisters just for playing, right?

Actually, she herself can't play well, after all, the four are still young, and she has to always pay attention to their safety, especially Ji Xiu, who is always in her arms.

This lotus pond is about two miles square, and there is a two-foot square "island" in the middle of the lotus pond, on which grows an old willow tree that does not know the age of the tree.

At this time, the water is shining and sunny, the lotus leaves are blue and the sky is blue, all kinds of lotus flowers are blooming one after another, and entering the lotus pond is entering the sea of flowers.

Yuan Ning pinched a lotus leaf and put it on Ji Xiu's head, which was much more comfortable than wearing a straw hat, which made Ji Xiu giggle.

The boatman reminded: "Girl, if you pinch one or two lotus leaves, it's fine, but if you pick lotus flowers, you can't do it." This lotus pond is the private property of Master Dong, and visitors are not allowed to pick flowers.

"If you like it, when we go back, the villain will take you to Master Dong's small lotus pond, where you can have as many lotus flowers as you want, two pennies a piece, and a fresh lotus pod, also two pennies a piece."

Yuan Ning tilted his head to look at Su Heting, "This person is quite good at business!" ”

Su Heting frowned, how could he not know whose private property the lotus pond was?

So he began to slowly set the boatman's words, and then he realized that it had been more than 30 years since the family of Master Dong moved here, and when he first moved here, he was called "Uncle Dong", but now that 30 years have passed, and he is also old, so he changed his name and became "Master Dong".

This old man Dong has always been inconspicuous, but everyone nearby knows that his family is super rich.

The Dong Mansion looks inconspicuous from the outside, but according to those who have entered it, it is extremely luxurious inside.

Moreover, there is no one with the surname of the Dong family living in that Dong family village, all of them are close to the Dong family.

Dozens of acres of land around Dongjia Village are all owned by the Dong family.

Su Heting knew that there was a Dongjia village not far from here. However, he still does not know the specific situation of Dongjia Village, according to the file records, Dongjia Village has regular tax rules, and there has never been a weapon fight in the village.

If he hadn't listened to the boatman's words, he wouldn't have thought much about it, but now that he heard these words, he felt a little strange when he thought about it carefully.

Tianqing County was so chaotic before, almost to the point that the people were not able to make a living, but at that time, Dongjia Village also paid taxes in a regular manner and lived quietly.

No matter how serious the bandits in Tianqing County are, it will not affect the normal life of Dongjia Village.

It seems that it is necessary to make a field trip.

Of course, he can't take everything the boatman says, but it's always good to have such a doubt.

Soon the boat arrived at the place where the lotus flowers were dense, and the boat was among the lotus bushes, even if there were lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the top of the head without wearing a straw hat, it was not so hot.

Bo Zhong and Shu Yu held the side of the boat, looked down at the swimming fish at the bottom of the boat, grabbed a handful of water from time to time, and laughed very happily.

Su Heting saw that Yuan Ning couldn't play well with Ji Xiu, so he reached out and took Ji Xiu over, and took a small aquatic flower from the water and stuffed it for her.

Ji Xiu was even happier, leaning over to get enough, Su Heting sat on the side of the boat with her, and took off her shoes and socks, and a pair of tender white little feet were soaked in the lake water.

Of course, the lake water at this time is not cold, but it is still lower than the body temperature of people, Ji Xiu felt that the little feet were cold and soaked, and she smiled and patted the water.

The boatman simply stopped the boat, "The scenery here is good, you can watch it for a while, and when you get bored, let's move forward." ”

Ji Xiu suddenly lifted her feet up, laughed and said, "Itchy!" ”

Yuan Ning was nervous and almost pounced, but when he saw Su Heting holding his sister steadily, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Heting saw that Ji Xiu was a little naughty, always struggling to get into the water, so he scared her: "That's the fish fish gnawing on your little feet, if you accidentally fall into it, you will be eaten by the fish!" ”

"Fish!" Ji Xiu was so frightened that his feet were in the air, and he didn't dare to put it down, "Go back!" Get back! ”

Su Heting brought her back again, took out his handkerchief to wipe her feet clean, put on her shoes and socks again, and educated her: "You can only play if your brother and sister let you play, you can't do whatever you want, you know?" It's dangerous! ”

Ji Xiu was ignorant, but he still nodded obediently, "Hmm! ”

Su Heting couldn't help laughing and said to Yuan Ning: "You little girl is so interesting! ”

Yuan Ning grabbed the hem of the two younger brothers' clothes in his hands, lest one of them accidentally fall into the lake, Zhong Ling didn't have to worry too much, this little girl has always been steady, and she has always sat obediently.

A few people played here for a while, looking at the lotus flowers that were close at hand but couldn't pick them, and they always had regrets in their hearts.

The boatman took them to the middle of the lake to see the legendary old willow tree, and the waterfowl that made its nest on the old willow tree.

On weekdays, few people come to the island in the middle of the lake, and a large number of waterfowl choose to perch on the old willow tree, because the old willow tree is also four or five feet in radius.

As soon as you get closer, you can hear the chirping of birds and see colorful feathers weaving between the green leaves.

Yuan Ning told his younger brothers and sisters in advance not to make loud noises when they came here, so as not to disturb the birds.

So they watched quietly and left quietly, and the birds on the old willow tree were still doing what they were doing, and it was natural.

The wind came from the lake, the fragrance of flowers lingered, and Bo Zhong sighed: "It would be nice if I could come every day......"

The boatman smiled and said, "Little brother, if you live here every day, you will be tired of it!" Let me tell you, here, even if you see mosquitoes in broad daylight, it is not uncommon, but at night, if you are not prepared, you can be swallowed alive by mosquitoes! ”

Yuan Ning asked the boatman: "Can I fish?" ”

"Yes, yes, even if I don't have a fishing rod on me, and I don't have any fish food," the boatman was a little embarrassed, "if you want to fish, let's go back and rent a fishing rod with someone and come back."

"Of course, if you don't want to have the fun of fishing, it's easy to just want to eat fresh lake fish, there is also a fish pond at Mr. Dong's house over there, it is very convenient to catch fish, and the water in it is also led from the lake."

Yuan Ning looked at Su Heting and gestured with his eyes: There is such a hidden rich man under your rule, do you know?

Su Heting tugged at the corners of his lips, he really didn't know.

In an instant, he thought of his master.
