Chapter 79: South Lake
Time passed little by little, and the old grandson beside Xiaoba gradually recovered from his emotions, raised his head, and the resolute color on his wrinkled face was revealed, he was no longer the wimply man in the past, time would not stop, just like now should not be immersed in the memories of the past.
"See and laugh" Lao Sun's voice was very low, but Hachi could hear it clearly.
"It's okay, I just listened to a story" Xiao Ba's tone was flat, his words and flat attitude made Lao Sun a little surprised, this young man has an extraordinary calmness, and maturity far beyond his age.
From the first time he saw this young man, he felt that this person was not the age he looked like on the outside, although he looked like a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, but the perseverance in his eyes was definitely not what young people would have.
The two tacitly agreed, although they didn't say anything, they both understood each other's thoughts and didn't say more.
"I'm so hungry! Have you eaten? Behind him, an incongruous voice came, it was the voice of You Zifang, and You Zifang's voice returned to its previous state.
Xiaoba and Lao Sun turned around at the same time, only to see that the wanderer behind him was probing his brain in the room, holding a pie found from the luggage in his hand, while gnawing on the pie, he looked everywhere, looking like a person who had just recovered.
Lao Sun was completely relieved at this time, and sure enough, as Xiao Hachi said, this young man naturally had a way to solve it, so he stood up and whispered a few words to Xiao Hachi, and then walked to the bow of the boat to observe its position.
Xiao Ba got up and walked into the room and said to Youzi Fang.
"You wake up Xiaoyu and let her eat some too, and then go to sleep after eating," he said and walked to the bow of the boat.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Hachi looked at the dark mountains around him and spoke.
"How long will it take to get to South Lake?"
"The wind direction here changes greatly at night, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, you need to constantly adjust the sails, I will watch, you rest for one night, you should be able to get to Nanhu around midnight tomorrow morning"
"Okay" Xiaoba arched his hand and retreated to the room, just as Xiao Yu'er was woken up by Youzifang, and was looking at Youzifang with an unhappy face when he got up, and Youzifang didn't take anything to eat.
"Look at this doll, don't give it to her" You Zifang complained to Xiaoba helplessly.
"Don't, I'm sleeping, he woke me up!" As soon as Xiao Yu'er heard that Youzifang complained about her, she immediately complained in a milky voice.
"I asked him to wake you up, you eat something, and then sleep when your stomach is full" Xiao Ba opened his mouth to explain, and You Zifang immediately squeezed his eyebrows on the side, indicating that it was not my fault that he said it.
"Hmph, that's okay" Xiao Yu'er pouted, her little eyebrows furrowed, although she heard Xiao Ba explain that he asked You Zifang to wake her up, she still frowned and glanced at You Zifang.
"Oh, you little girl will roll her eyes when you're so young" You Zifang was given a blank look and exclaimed.
"Okay, don't mess with her, you also have to rest more, eat and rest quickly" Seeing that the two of them were about to squeeze their eyebrows and deal with each other, Xiaoba spoke up in time, interrupting the spell casting of the two, and blocking the middle as an intermediary, so that both of them finished eating.
After eating, the wanderer didn't say much, he walked to the stern of the boat to lay a bed for himself and fell asleep, Xiao Yu'er lay next to Xiao Ba, tilted his head and looked at the old grandson on the bow of the boat, and then looked at Xiao Ba and said.
"Doesn't the old uncle sleep?"
"He'll rest later," Hachi said softly, Xiao Yu'er nodded slightly, and after a while, his eyelids fought, and his eyes fell asleep half-open.
The boat will shake slightly from time to time, and it is inconvenient for him to stand and sleep in front of Lao Sun, and he seems to be very strange, this time Xiaoba sits and rests in a meditative posture.
After closing his eyes, Hachi reached out and touched into his arms, grabbed the Yin Yang Fish Plate, and urged the Yin Fish concentratingly, and the black threads extended along his clothes to his body, and then spread along the chamber to the outside of the cabin, the top, the bottom of the boat, and even silently spread to the bow of the boat, all of which Lao Sun did not feel anything.
After the black line wrapped around the entire hull, the line gradually disappeared, and after all this was done, Hachi relaxed and began to rest.
The night passed quickly.
At the end of the day, the newborn sun shines through the mountains, and the morning sun shines on the water sparkling, and the boat sways slightly on the water, and at this moment the boat has entered an open water along the undulating mountains on both sides.
The old man at the bow of the boat sat on the small bench at the bow of the boat, closed his eyes and rested, this person was the old grandson who supported the boat last night, and the old grandson could only rest intermittently when he supported the boat, but it was somewhat similar to the previous Xiaoba, and quickly recovered his spirit through a short rest, and they only had to do this as long as they ran the boat.
In the room of the boat, a young man who meditated slowly opened his eyes, it was Xiao Hachi, who had rested all night, last night's rest was not very stable, but it was also very good, last night, the black line transmitted back to the water and the underwater message, the wind and the current, plain.
Xiaoba got up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the room, and the old man who was resting at the bow of the boat sensed it, raised his head, looked at the young man who woke up, and said with a smile.
"The little master is still resting peacefully, and many people are not used to sleeping on the boat for the first time."
"Lao Sun, you are skilled, the boat is very stable, and I have a good rest" Xiao Ba told the truth, Lao Sun is worthy of being an old boatman for decades, and the level of this boat is absolutely first-class.
"A handful of old bones, you can use a little bit to beg for food" Lao Sun said with a humble smile, he is thin-skinned, and he feels embarrassed when he is praised by others.
"Are we entering the South Lake?" Hachi looked at the open water around him, unlike the previous river, which was sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the water here could not be seen at a glance.
"This is the South Lake, you can't see the end at a glance, this has just entered the South Lake, wait until noon, you can probably walk to the middle of the South Lake" Lao Sun raised his head and looked around, and made a judgment, with his experience, he could calculate how long it would take to get out of the South Lake, and he had walked this waterway countless times, which was very familiar.
Hachi looked around silently, only to see that the lake was as green as a dark jade, and it could be seen that the water was clear and very deep, and the water surface was slightly fluctuating by the wind, and it was completely impossible to see that it would be the place where that kind of terrifying rumors occurred.
On the contrary, such a beautiful scenery is a good place to have fun on a cruise.
"Old Sun, why don't you see a fishing boat?" Hachi wondered why he didn't see a fishing boat.
"Fishing boats have to go to the middle, and usually the big fish move in the middle of the lake, and the fishing boats also fish in the middle area, but they don't go to the center of the lake," Sun explained.
"If the fish in the middle are bigger, why don't you go to the very center of the lake?"
