Located on the top floor, the restaurant is decorated in a romantic style like a couple's restaurant. Because the meal was already past this time, there were only a handful of customers in the restaurant, and there were not as many waiters as there were. However, the advantage of fewer people is that you can sit in the popular window seat. Dining while enjoying the lake and mountains is also one of the selling points of this hotel.

The four of them sat down in pairs, and after ordering their meals, they all couldn't help but look out the window.

Enjoying the view of the lake from the 14th floor gives you the feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance. From this angle, the lake is very vast, the smoke is vast, and it is almost impossible to see the edge at a glance, and the mountains on the opposite bank are as imposing as small mounds under the halo of the protagonist of the lake. It's just that the crowd of people swimming around the lake and the many pleasure boats paddling on the lake make the whole picture lack a lot of dreamy feeling.

"This lake is as beautiful as a huge jade embedded in the mountains, no matter how many times you look at it, you won't get tired of looking at it......" Yue Lin's eyes looked out of the window without blinking, and she exclaimed with emotion, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed much deeper.

Wei Xiaofeng asked, "Yes, Auntie, you are a native of H City, right?" I'm sure I've been here a few times. ”

Yue Lin turned her head back. "Hmm. We live in the city of H, which is not far from here, so we come to play for a few days at this time of year. ”

Now Wu Yun asked: "You come here at this time every year?" Is there any particular reason? Seeing the slightly surprised look on Yue Lin's face, Wu Yun said more curiously, "Now the road into the scenic spot was paved more than a year ago, as far as I know, the road to the mountain is a yellow mud road, the roadbed is uneven, and there is a lot of gray sand, although it can be driven, but it is also very bumpy." You guys can endure this bump every year and come here, I guess it's not just to see the scenery, right? Of course, I was just curious to ask, and if my uncle and aunt had something unspeakable, I didn't ask. ”

Yue Lin was speechless and looked at her husband with an embarrassed expression. Chen Wendong paused slightly at her.

"Okay," Yue Lin sighed lightly and said, "We didn't deliberately want to hide it. We come to the lake at this time of year mainly to pay tribute to our daughter. Six years ago, tomorrow, she accidentally fell into the lake while visiting here and died. If she were still alive, she would be about your age by now......" Yue Lin choked up and couldn't continue, a thick sadness crept up her face, outlining the wrinkles on her face even more obviously.

"Ah, I'm sorry......" Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly said apologetically, pinching Wu Yun's waist under the table with his right hand and glaring at him.

Wu Yun immediately apologized: "Uncle and aunt, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to arouse your sadness......"

Chen Wendong's face was calm, but there was still a faint sadness in his eyes, and he said: "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." Besides, it's all in the past, and we have long accepted this reality. ”

Sadness swirled around the four of them, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was hard to speak. Fortunately, at this time, the waiter brought the dishes they ordered to the table one by one, breaking this unpleasant situation.

The dishes are all cooked with local specialties from Lianhu Lake and the vicinity, and the style is ordinary but home-cooked, but after the chefs carefully plating and decorating, it reveals a high-end atmosphere and high-grade feeling, and the taste style is instantly much higher.

"It's all here, it's a late lunch, let's eat it quickly. These dishes are all considered to be the characteristics of the lake, and they may not be eaten in other places, so you can eat more. Chen Wendong raised his hand and gestured.

Wei Xiaofeng and Wu Yun nodded, and they were not welcome, picking up chopsticks and enjoying them.

After Yue Lin wiped the corners of her eyes with a napkin, she also started to eat.

The two young men who came to the lake for the first time were full of praise after tasting each dish.

"Let's go to the night stall by the lake for dinner." Chen Wendong said, "Although the food there is not as exquisite as here, it is also a special taste to sit by the lake, blow the lake breeze, and feel the lively atmosphere around you." ”

Wei Xiaofeng and Wu Yun naturally nodded in agreement.

After the five flavors of the dish, the sadness on Yue Lin's face had completely disappeared, and an amiable smile resurfaced. She opened her mouth and asked, "Xiaoyun, you are a magazine reporter, what about Xiaofeng?" You don't seem to have mentioned what you do. ”

Wei Xiaofeng replied a little shyly: "I haven't worked yet." I'm still a college student, and I'm only a sophomore this year. ”

Yue Lin glanced at the two people in front of her, a little surprised, but quickly relieved. "Are you seniors and juniors in the same school?"

"No, I graduated from a university in the Northeast." Wu Yun replied, "But one of my high school buddies and Xiao Feng are from the same school. The person Wu Yun said was Gu Xiaoteng, the boyfriend of the late Zhong Xiaoye four years ago.

"Oh, so he's pulling the thread for the two of you?" Yue Lin had a smile on her face like a little girl in her first love. At this time, she seems to have become like a little girl who loves to listen to gossip.

Wei Xiaofeng's face was flushed, I don't know if it was because he was choked by chili peppers or because of what Yue Lin said. She said angrily: "Auntie, what are you talking nonsense about? I don't have that kind of relationship with Wu Yun......"

Wu Yun was happy in his heart, and explained: "My buddy didn't enter Xiaofeng until he graduated, so he and Xiaofeng didn't know each other. Xiaofeng and I met when we went to Dongmingshan in S City five months ago.,Because it's more chatty.,There's been contact since then.,This time I came to play in Lihu and brought her with me.。 He took a very general and familiar reason, withholding everything about Liang Yi.

Yue Lin already knew the relationship between the two of them, so she didn't use the topic anymore.

Because of the late hour, lunch was a bit rushed. Wu Yun took the opportunity to go to the toilet and paid the bill at the front desk. When the old couple learned about it, they wanted to return the meal money to Wu Yun, but he refused. The old couple did not insist, but insisted that they must be treated for the dinner in the evening.

Out of the hotel, the afternoon sun was shining, driving away the slight coolness of autumn. Looking at the lake, there are painting boats, speedboats, canopy boats, swan boats...... A variety of pleasure boats decorate the surface of the lake with colors and paddle down the white trail of waves.

Facing the huge lake of mercy, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng, who had just arrived, had no idea at all about how to visit, so they had to consult the old couple beside them. The old couple suggested that the four of them first sit on the painting boat and go around the lake to see the whole picture of the lake. At the speed of the boat, it takes almost three hours to circumnavigate the lake, which is enough to entertain this afternoon, and it is right to relax the tired body.

Four people will travel to the cruise terminal. The boats that should have docked at the pier were already full of tourists roaming the lake, but the tourists waiting on the dock shore were still weaving. Chen Wendong persuaded Wu Yun to buy four tickets for the boat, and then the four of them lined up in the queue waiting to board the boat. A painting boat can carry 80 people, and there are about 30 people waiting in front of them, and it seems that there are not many people who are willing to spend three hours leisurely swimming around the lake.

The most popular of all the cruises is the speedboat. The speedboat here is fully open and can carry up to 12 people at a time. The speed of the speedboat is fast, and you can feel the excitement of the wind whistling in your ears and the waves splashing around you when you ride, which is obviously more in line with the taste of people living in a high-paced life today.

There are three marinas for boats and boats, and boaters and speedboaters can choose to disembark at any of them, or they can re-board the corresponding available boats with their ticket stubs on the day.

The second most popular is the canopy boat, rocking the oar slowly, the ancient style and ancient rhyme, the older tourists use it to be nostalgic, and the younger tourists taste it fresh. The swan boat is the least popular, and it is mostly the choice of young couples and a family of three, after all, the swan boat is small in size and has to rely on human foot force to step forward. Both boats travel by hand and can't travel far, so they don't go far for those who want to see the lake and get to other destinations quickly.

A painting boat docked, and after the tourists on the boat descended to the pier one after another, the tourists in line, including four people, boarded the boat one by one. The whole body of the painting boat is red, and the top is golden yellow, and the shape looks like a classical Chinese pavilion. The cabins are hollowed out on both sides and supported only by a few pillars, so with the exception of the wheelhouse at the rear, visitors can enjoy a near-unobstructed view of the surrounding lake.

Wei Xiaofeng and his entourage grabbed a few seats near the bow of the boat and sat down. After about five minutes of waiting, two-thirds of the seats in the boat were filled, and then the staff on the dock removed the boarding pads and put away the cables. Then, after the sound of the engine starting, the boat began to move forward, gradually moving away from the lakeshore.

Wei Xiaofeng had hardly taken a boat in her life, and she felt a little tightness in her chest after the painting boat swayed slightly from side to side with the waves for a while. Fortunately, the cool lake breeze blowing from the bow of the boat slowly dispelled this boredom, and she slowly adapted to the irregular bumps of the water voyage between this balance.

After a brief chat with the old couple, Wei Xiaofeng walked to the bow of the boat, crouched on the railing, looked up at the scenery in the distance from time to time, and looked down at the blue waves below from time to time. Occasionally seeing a few river fish kissing the surface of the water, she couldn't help but feel slightly excited, and hurriedly turned around and asked Wu Yun if there was any bread and other food that could feed the fish.

Wu Yun shook his head in motion, and then also walked up to the bow of the boat and stood side by side with Xiao Feng. He took out the DSLR camera in his bag and hung it on his chest, and began to record the scenery along the way to the memory card.

After driving for more than twenty minutes, Wu Yun seemed to have discovered something, and asked Xiao Feng beside him: "Xiao Feng, do you know why Manager Hu of the Lianhu Hotel invited me to write an article for Lianhu?" ”

"Asking newspapers and magazines to write articles is nothing more than publicity, so that more people can know and understand Lianhu Lake through reading articles, and make readers have the urge to come and play. There are more people who come to Lihu Lake to play, and the related industrial chain, such as hotels and hotels for food and accommodation, can benefit from it and get more customers. Xiao Feng replied with what he had learned in class.

"It's really worthy of studying advertising, and it's the truth." Wu Yun praised from the bottom of his heart, "But that's not the main reason. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Feng had roughly guessed what Wu Yun was going to say next.

"In fact, last Friday night, two tourists accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the lake." Wu Yun pointed to a shoal on the side of the bow with a stern expression and said, "It's the water near this shoal." ”
