Shui Ling grew up in Baiyangdian. The water spirit is as beautiful as the water of Baiyangdian Lake. The descendants all said: "The water spirit is the beautiful lotus flower in the lotus lake, and you can feast your eyes when you look at it from afar!" After speaking, he smacked his lips.

Shuiling dropped out of junior high school without graduating. Shui Ling's parents saw that the people in Dianbian were grabbing a lot of money, and they felt that Shui Ling's study was not interesting. So he let Shui Ling enter Wukui's floating restaurant as a waiter.

Wukui's floating restaurant is located on Pearl Island. The four sides of the island are full of water, and the small island rises by the water, but it is also not beautiful. The ingenious Wukui planted colorful flags around the island. Tourists from all over the world rowed to their heart's content, tired of playing, and happened to arrive at Pearl Island. Not to mention, the floating restaurant is waiting for the delicious smell of water. Stir-fried snails, boiled river crabs, smoked dace, boiled prawns...... The whole nine yards.

The arrival of Shui Ling made Wukui's business the icing on the cake. The beautiful scenery on the lake, the unique flavor of aquatic products, and the colorful waitresses, for a while, tourists gathered, and the floating restaurant of Wukui was unprecedentedly prosperous.

Wu Kui's pockets puffed up like a blow, and Wu Kui's courage also grew. At the end of the day, Wu Kui burped, stepped in front of Shui Ling, who was picking up the tableware, and threw a wad of banknotes on the table: "Sister Shui Ling, your salary, collect it!" ”

Shui Ling stopped working and counted the money with wet hands: "Ah! Thousand? Why are there so many? ”

"It's been a busy month, and you're tired. I make too much money, so naturally I can't lose you! Wukui sat on a stool, crossed Erlang's legs, swayed, swayed: "Shui Ling, do you want to cooperate with your Wukui brother for a long time?" ”

"Absolutely! As long as you think I can do it! Shui Ling's eyes were covered with Wukui, full of joy.

"Then do you want to be a boss lady?"

"You're bad—" Shui Ling's face turned red, and he came over to tear Wu Kui's mouth. Wukui grinned, rattling.

Wu Kui began to run to Shui Ling's house. First he sent things in large pockets, then gave money for 35,000 yuan, and finally helped Shui Ling's parents poke four large tiled houses on the shore and buy a brand new fishing boat. Shui Ling thought: It's not bad to follow Wukui. Wu Kui looks older and looks poor, but this kid is capable! If you are capable, you can earn it. If you make money in this world, you are not afraid of anything. Isn't it just to be happy?

Baiyangdian Lake in autumn is the most fruitful season. This season's floating restaurant attracts a middle-aged man with a painting clip on his back. The man went to the island, asked for wine and food, and drank it alone in a very chic and serious way.

The water spirit moved over and secretly opened the man's picture folder. Ho! The inside is full of landscape paintings of Baiyangdian Lake. Reeds in the distance, lotus in the distance, ducks on the water, fluttering sails...... It's all in his paintings. The picture is colorful and lifelike.

"You're a painter?" Shui Ling asked softly, with a kind of admiration and envy in his words.

The man turned, nodded, and handed over a polished business card that smelled like it.

"Our Baiyangdian is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes," said the painter, pausing and pushing the wide black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, in a deep voice, "she is quiet, indifferent, delicate, delicate, delicate, and not lacking in wild fun, very fascinating." However, it is okay to travel, and it is too monotonous and sad to live here for a long time. Especially a pretty girl like you! ”

"Why?" Shui Ling saw that the painter was energetic, and he was also interested.

"Oh, this...... Have you ever been outside of Baiyangdian? The painter took a sip of wine and asked, "The outside world is still very big!" ”

Shui Ling lowered his head, stroked the famous film, and tasted the painter's words, but he didn't squeak for a long time.

Before leaving, the painter painted a portrait of her, and the image was inscribed with four words: water and beauty.

Shui Ling hung the portrait at the head of the bed, and the business card was nailed under the portrait. In the evening, Shui Ling looked at his portrait and sighed to himself. She loved to paint when she was in school, and she has always fantasized about being a painter and depicting her own water town. Can ...... now She suddenly felt that she was not happy. It seems that something is missing mentally. And what?

Wu Kui was drunk all day long. After getting drunk, Wukui broke into Shui Ling's room.

"Water spirit! Again...... What do you think? We'll be together tonight...... Go to sleep! ”

"No!" Shui Ling avoided Wukui and looked at his portrait.

"Afraid of what? You're me anyway...... My people. Your parents agreed, and no one could take it away. Sooner or later, we'll be different. Hehe...... "Wu Kui pounced forward as he spoke, grabbing Shui Ling's shoulder.

Shui Ling struggled, looking very helpless: "But I didn't agree." I'm still young, only eighteen ......."

"Eighteen-year-old girl, a flower. What Lao Tzu spent money to buy was —...... A flower. ”

Wu Kui snorted with wine, his tongue curled stiffly, and his thick arms encircled Shui Ling's knot. Shui Ling was powerless to resist, and she thought of her parents, her eyes full of tears.

There are fish jumping out of the water in the lake, fishing fires are lit in the distance, and lotus fragrance floats in.

In the morning, Wu Kui woke up and disappeared from Shui Ling, the portrait and the business card. Wu Kui thumped his head vigorously and tore his hair. He rushed out of the house, looked around, and saw a vast pool of clear water. At the end of the water is the shore, and there is a road on the shore. The road leads into the distance.

"Water Spirit—" Wukui shouted hysterically.
