forty-four

Eight hundred miles of peace, the beauty of the scenery of Taiping Lake is a must in Gaochang. The 'Tai' of Taiping Lake refers to the time when the sun has just risen, and at this time, Taiping Lake is sparkling, flashing with dreamy colors in the morning light. Its 'flat' refers to its still water, when you only need to paddle a small boat to take in the view of the bottom of the lake as if you were in an aquarium.

In addition, Taiping Lake also has a must, that is, the thousands of years old white lotus tree in the center of the lake. This tree looks exactly like a lotus, the only difference is that they are different in size. This white lotus tree is extremely large, and just one of its 'lotus leaves' is tens of meters in size. And whenever it blooms, the whole Taiping Lake can smell a faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

But few people know that the most beautiful scenery of Taiping Lake is under the leaves of this white lotus tree. Under the leaves of the white lotus tree, where the sun does not shine all year round, there is a magical and dreamy aquatic plant: the star (flower). Although the roots of the star grass grow in the water, its flower branches grow in the air. It is a very rare kind of yin-loving magic stamen of the water and light family, and its flowers will follow the direction of the moonlight when the moon comes out at night, and when it comes, they will hide in the shade where there is no sunlight in the daytime. Because their flowers and branches are crystal clear, like small stars in dark places, they are named stars.

And at this time in this 'starlight', a young man was lying lazily on a very peculiar boat, looking at Erlang's legs, lazily muttering:

Half a day is idle, half a day is idle, not envious of wealth and not envy immortals.

Come and fish in peace, and exchange the fish for wine money.

Drunken dreams and dead dreams, the avenue is three thousand points on both sides.

Sit and watch the clouds rise from the mountains, and the sunset is full of stars.

Ahh Xiaobao yawned, moved his body, and stretched. At this time, a fresh breeze blew, and the wind chimes hanging on the ship rang beautifully again. Tea was being boiled on a small table beside Xiao Bao with the dew he had picked up in the morning, and the beep of the water seemed to tell its owner that it was about to be boiled.

Xiaobao is supporting his head with one hand, but the other hand is feeding the fish with today's surplus bait. Today, Zhao Xinyu's girl gave herself another 'problem', and she must fish a Taiping red for her. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to complete my task in a short time. The fish was caught, but it was a little early to go back. The little girl's anger has not subsided, and it will only be boring to go back at this time.

Suddenly, the boat shook slightly, and the group of fish that had been surrounding Xiaobao were immediately startled and scattered, and ran away. Xiaobao moved his eyes slightly, and looked at the two extra 'boys' on his boat. Puzzled: "Something?"

Xiaobao only glanced at them and knew that they were two Xibei goods, but Xiaobao was not interested in demolishing them. Hey, this fish is gone, what can I feed the fish? Xiao Bao sprinkled the bait in his hand into the water with a little interest, then slapped his palms, changed to a more comfortable and more comfortable position to lie down and chat with them, and waited for their next step.

Looking at the other party's lazy, even very arrogant appearance in the eyes of some people. The 'little brother' dressed as an entourage was not happy, and only heard her say angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have! Our son-in-law is here. ”

Xiaobao was happy when he heard it, and asked with a slight smile, "Do we know each other?"

The little brother shook his head when he heard this!

Xiaobao continued to ask, "Whose boat does this ship belong to?"

The little brother was very unhappy when he heard this, and said, "Of course it's yours!"

Xiaobao smiled slightly, and said happily: "Since we don't know each other, this ship is also mine! Then what kind of attitude do you still ask me? If I am not mistaken, now I am the master, as for you! It's up to me what I think!"

"You..." Before the little brother finished speaking, the boy immediately stopped her, and then apologized: "I'm really sorry, please forgive me for how rude this friend of mine was just now." Please bear with me if we take the liberty of bothering you, but the reason why we bother you is only because we want to borrow your place to enjoy the star flowers. Just because there is only one ship under the white lotus tree that can stay, I am really sorry. ”

The attitude is good, and what is said is the truth. Xiaobao touched his bare chin and said, "I see, please!"

It was the turn of the two of them to be slightly stunned, this is too easy to speak, right? But Xiaobao didn't bother to pay attention to what they thought! Listening to the sound of boiling water, Xiaobao knew that the water was ready! With the morning dew of the star flower and the rare best fire cloud ear, Xiaobao has been looking forward to it for a long time. For tea, Xiaobao loves it as much as it does for fine wine, and it can even be said that he likes it a little more. Good wine is not hard to find in this other world, but this good tea is very valuable. Let's just say that this Huoyun Ear was 'borrowed' by Xiaobao from a high-ranking and powerful person's house to taste, if it weren't for the little girl's dislike of tea, it is estimated that these taels would have been in the soup.

When Xiaobao made the tea and was about to drink it. Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly sniffed, and then exclaimed slightly: "The best fire cloud ear?"

Hey, I didn't think I would meet a fellow practitioner, Xiaobao smiled slightly, and said, "That's right! It's the best Huoyun Ear." Then he suddenly became interested and asked, "Since this boy can smell it, then I'll test you! Guess what kind of water I use?"

I saw her smile slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky and smiled: "Your Excellency thinks this is necessary?"

Xiaobao was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud: "It's extreme! Then he made a gesture of invitation very generously and freely: "Are you interested in tasting together?"

"Then it's better to be respectful!" the boy smiled and saluted, "Please!"

"Please!"

Looking at the sky full of 'stars', listening to the bells of the wind chimes blowing in the breeze, and sipping tea. The boy was suddenly a little stunned, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.

I listened to the sound of the wind chimes, metal, bamboo and wood, but when the wind rose, they could harmonize with such a special and beautiful sound, which was really amazing. I don't know who it came from, but I want to buy one too. The boy said.

"Hehe! No, it's just a little bit below!" Xiaobao smiled: "But I'm sorry, only this one has been transformed many times to get to its current appearance.

"I see!" The boy said with a little regret: "There is a way that a gentleman does not win people's love, and he is abrupt! Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet! But because of my identity, it is inconvenient to tell you directly! But I don't want to deceive Your Excellency, so please forgive me!"

"Why do you have to know each other when you meet, everyone inevitably has their own inconveniences. Xiaobao said softly as he pulled the human skin mask on his face.
