Chapter Seventy-Five: Laughing and Throwing a Lotus Bed Through the Water



[Chapter 3, Volume 3]

Section 206

Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying didn't know Cao Yingmei's thoughts, although they hadn't arrived in Luwei Tingzhou yet, they didn't see the purpose of this trip; But when people are at the head of the boat, they feel the boat riding the wind and waves, and the lake breeze blowing towards them, and they also feel indescribably comfortable.

The two finished drinking a pot of agarwood drink with a smile, and the boat finally approached the first bush of reeds. The cyan reeds fell and rose in the lake breeze, and the cooing of water birds was everywhere one after another, and occasionally there were flying in and out, Wei Changying recognized it as an egret, very bold, not very afraid of people. Even when the boat passed, it still concentrated on treading water and fishing, and did not hide.

Wei Changying's eyes were sharp, and he also saw a water snake swimming quickly from the water, bringing out a wisp of water...... Then the bold egret before also saw it, and flew in the water, and the water snake that was too fast to dodge was caught in its mouth and flew away.

"That egret ......" Wei Changying turned her head and was about to tell Shen Zangfeng what she saw, but Shen Zangfeng pointed in another direction and said with a smile: "Do you think it's a coincidence?" ”

"What coincidence?" Wei Changying thought that he had met an acquaintance again, so he hurriedly tidied up his skirt before looking over, but saw a pair of red-billed mandarin ducks swimming by a bush of reeds, leisurely, and when he saw the boat coming, he also went into the reeds in a hurry.

Wei Changying also felt that this omen was good, so he picked a piece of pastry from the basket and crushed it, raised his hand and threw it into the reeds: "I'm scared of them, send a snack to apologize!" ”

Shen Zangfeng smiled: "They think you're going to hit them." ”

Wei Changying said: "Nonsense, I am obviously ......" But before he finished speaking, he heard a panicked cry from the reeds where the pair of mandarin ducks hid in, and the pair of mandarin ducks flapped their wings and flew up, stepping on the water, fluttering the reeds, and flying deeper with a hula, and sure enough, they looked like they were embarrassed and fled after being attacked......

"......," Wei Chang Ying's face was red-eared and equatoring, "this pair ...... I really don't know the hearts of good people! ”

Shen Zangfeng laughed and said, "This Spring Grass Lake is rich in water and grass, where will they have less food?" Naturally, no one cares to feed them, and they have already avoided the reeds, and when they see you throwing snacks into it, don't you think you want to hit them? ”

Wei Changying was annoyed and ashamed, suddenly knelt down, leaned over the side of the boat, scooped up a handful of water in the lake, and threw it at Shen Zangfeng's head, and said angrily: "Then you don't remind me!" Make me laugh! ”

The head of the boat was like this, Shen Zangfeng wanted to hide but couldn't hide, he was splashed, and the chest of the jade-colored Yueluo round-necked robe was dyed with a slip of water, dyeing the jade color into emerald color, which was very conspicuous. Seeing that Wei Changying was still going to fetch water, he smiled and said to forgive: "I will go to the Jiejia wine shop in a while, good lady, spare my husband." ”

In fact, after Wei Changying splashed him, he also thought of this section, and regretted it in his heart, so he took advantage of the situation to step down when he heard the words, and hummed: "I think you are pitiful, this will spare you." ”

Then he gave him a handkerchief to wipe it.

Shen Zangfeng wiped two handfuls and returned them to her, and said with a smile: "Look, the lotus flower is there." ”

Wei Changying looked to the right - at this time, the left side was to block the sun, so he lowered the curtain, and sure enough, the lotus leaves appeared in twos and threes, either floating on the water surface or out of the water.

Shen Zangfeng introduced: "Furong Island is the center of this lotus, because there are many tourists in spring, there are three or two wine shops there. It's just that as soon as spring passes, there are fewer tourists, and most of the wine shops are closed. For example, Jiejia Liquor Store is one of them. ”

"It turns out that there are islands in this lake."

"But it's not an island." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "If you want to talk about the island, it will have to dry up in autumn and winter before it can come to the surface." The so-called wine shops are all painting boats, because the Chuncao Lake is vast, there are often tourists to the center of the lake, want to drink, if it is a larger can open their own painting boat, it is just that, like our small boat can't, carrying dry food or turning back to the shore is not a disappointment. The people who have the spirit set up a wine shop in Furong Continent, and choose Furong Continent, where the water is shallow and the waves are small, and it is not easy to be affected by wind and rain; Second, in the spring of Furong Island, the grass is full of water and blue sky, there are small lotus tips, summer lotus Tingting, autumn and winter have residual lotus and snow can be chanted, than let visitors turn back to the shore to take food much more elegant; Three, this Furong Island is not far from the center of Chuncao Lake, from all over the shore to get into the water, as long as you play in the lake for a long time, it is convenient to get here. ”

Wei Chang Ying said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the painting boat is not good to enter here?" ”

"They took advantage of the rising water in the spring, and the lotus leaves were not dense enough to open the painting boat first." Shen Zangfeng said, "Actually, these painting boats are specially used as wine shops here, and they never go out, and a few of them are also equivalent to running aground." ”

Between the words, the lotus leaves around are also dense, and sometimes the lotus leaves with the high heads of the two of them swaying through the porthole, bursts of lotus fragrance and fragrance attack, and dragonflies, bees and butterflies clustered on the side of the flowers, buzzing and noisy.

"Let's see if there's a lotus pod." Shen Zangfeng rolled up his sleeves, moved to the porthole, and beckoned to his wife, "Pick two, you promised to peel lotus seeds for me to eat." ”

Wei Changying chirped: "Who promised you?" So he said that, but he moved to the side of the boat as he said...... I felt the boat suddenly shake! She was startled, and quickly didn't dare to move, but Cao Yingmei seemed to be taken aback when she heard it, and said loudly: "Childe, young lady, but you want to pick lotus near the water?" ”

Shen Zangfeng was much more experienced than Wei Changying, and when he heard this, he immediately understood, and said, "Yes, we just got to the side of the gunwale, but it scared you?" ”

Cao Yingmei smiled: "The little woman is on the water all day long, how can she not be scared?" It's just that this boat is light, and if the boy and the young lady want to pick lotus in the water together, they have to talk to the little woman, so that the little woman can adjust, so that the little woman will not know, and if the boat capsizes, it will be offensive to the son and the young lady. ”

Wei Changying quietly pinched Shen Zangfeng and complained: "It's all you, and you won't say anything to me." He asked, "I'll pick lotus, you go back and sit down!" ”

Shen Zangfeng smiled: "You go and sit, I'll come, you see there are a lot of bees here, don't sting you." ”

Originally, Wei Changying had to pick it herself, but when she heard that there were many bees, she looked at the flying insects that were going in and out around the lotus, and hurriedly picked up the fan and prepared to flutter in, and advised: "You pick a bigger one." ”

Cao Yingmei is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, knowing that the couple wants to pick lotus for fun, so she deliberately slowed down the speed of the boat, and walked dexterously between the flowers and leaves.

Wei Changying sat back on a few sides, staring at the outside of the boat with a good eye, and suddenly said happily: "Look over there, look over there, there's one!" ”

Shen Zangfeng smiled: "I also saw ......" and knocked on the curtain behind him with his backhand, allowing Cao Yingmei to row over.

Leaning over like this, Wei Changying realized the dense flowers and leaves here, the boat they were in was already very narrow, but they still forced to squeeze a batch of flowers and leaves before leaning next to the lotus canopy. At this moment, the flowers and leaves on both sides are squeezed by the small boat that is inserted into the boat very much, there is a sense of impermeability, this is still a narrow flat boat with a narrow body, and the painting boat is going to be changed, not the season when the lotus flowers are withering, and it is really impossible to want to come in.

Wei Changying watched Shen Zangfeng lean over to pick it with joy, who knows, just when Shen Zangfeng was about to touch the lotus canopy and had not touched it, a pair of delicate and delicate wattles suddenly stretched out after the lotus canopy, holding the stem under the lotus canopy, and with a very skillful force, only to hear a soft sound of "click", the lotus pod was picked off under the gaze of the couple!

…… If it weren't for the fact that a wooden pot was drawn between the dense flowers and leaves, and through the dense gap between the flowers and leaves, a dark-skinned girl could be seen sitting in the pot, looking over with a smile, Wei Changying almost thought that he had met the spirit in the lake......

She raised the fan and half-covered her face to hide her frightened face, and looked at the girl suspiciously. saw that the girl was about twenty-eight years old, and like Cao Yingmei, she wrapped her head with a piece of flower cloth, and wore a willow hat to cover her shade in addition to the flower cloth. Wearing a short shirt and skirt sewn from coarse cloth, he sat cross-legged in the basin, and there was already a small pile of lotus canopies, wild lings and other things in front of him...... The co-author is a lotus picker.

Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief, and found that there was a false alarm, and he couldn't help but be stupid.

It's just that for a lotus pod and a lotus picking girl to care about the loss of identity, she settled down, turned her head to Shen Zangfeng, who also showed disappointment, and said, "Let's change places." ”

Seeing that there are many lotus pods in the wooden pot of this lotus picking girl, I think that even if there are other lotus pods in this vicinity, she has also picked them up.

Shen Zangfeng was about to nod, but he didn't think about the lotus picking girl, but asked with a smile: "Does the son want to pick the lotus pod?" ”

Shen Zangfeng glanced at her and said, "My wife does have this intention. ”

Wei Changying saw that he didn't bother with this lotus picking girl, but this lotus picking girl talked to Shen Zangfeng in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy, and when he heard Shen Zangfeng open his mouth, he mentioned himself, so he turned his anger into joy, deliberately softened his voice, leaned over and grabbed Shen Zangfeng's sleeve, and said, "It doesn't have to be, let's go first." ”

Shen Zangfeng didn't answer yet, but saw that the lotus girl picked the fattest one from a pile of lotus canopies in her basin, and threw it into the boat across the water, Shen Zangfeng saw that this lotus canopy was rushing towards Wei Changying's face, and hurriedly reached out to catch it, frowning slightly, but the other party was just a young girl, and the boat was narrow, and there was not much room to throw it in, the other party may not have done it on purpose, so he handed the lotus canopy to Wei Changying, and reached into his arms, saying: "Thank you, girl, but I don't know how much silver it is?" ”

I don't want the lotus girl to throw away the lotus canopy, so she lifted her cheeks with a smile and looked at him intently, but when she heard the words, she grinned and said, "Don't want money." ”

Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying were both stunned, and then they heard the lotus-picking girl laugh and said: "The son is as rich as jade, handsome and handsome, and when the little woman saw it today, she suddenly made a secret promise." It's just that the son already has a wife, and the little woman can only take a few more looks, give a lotus pod, and talk about her heart! ”

Saying this, Wei Changying almost didn't throw the lotus pod back into her basin!
