When Lan Qiao woke up again, the sky over Dongting Lake was already filled with morning glow. The golden sunlight almost touched the lake surface and shot toward him, stinging him so much that he almost couldn't open his eyes.

He subconsciously moved his body, only to find that he was being held tightly by someone. When he raised his upper body and took a look, he realized it was Li Jingshu.

It turns out that this sampan is too small. After Li Jingshu helped Lanqiao lie down last night, she found that she didn't even have a place to sit. She had to lie her upper body on the sampan, with her legs still soaked in the water, and pulled

Holding the rope that controlled the small sail on the sampan, she used her legs to pump water forward. Later, she was too tired, so she lay on Lan Qiao's legs and fell asleep in a daze.

The small sampan floated with the clear waves of Dongting Lake, ups and downs, and the two ropes holding the sail fell out of Li Jingshu's hands at some point. Lan Qiao looked at her sleepy look and thought of it again.

The scene where I fell from the Bishui Jie Tian Building with her last night made me feel a pity in my heart.

He picked up the rope and straightened the sail. Just as he was about to sit up straight with his legs crossed, Li Jingshu suddenly opened her eyes, smiled at him and said, "Sir, you're awake." She was sleeping very lightly, and when Lan Qiao moved, she immediately

Then he woke up.

Lan Qiao embarrassedly sat cross-legged and stepped back to make room for Li Jingshu to sit down. Just when he was about to reach out to pull her, Li Jingshu had already climbed up on the sampan.

Seeing Lan Qiao's eyes looking strange, she looked at her torn dress, and explained, "At that time, you broke through the plank and fell into the water. I tore it open myself to make it easier to swim. Later, I bandaged your wounds on the boat."

I pulled a few pieces, so don’t think too much about it.”

Only then did Lan Qiao realize that his wound had been carefully bandaged with the rags she tore off her body. He thanked her gratefully and asked, "Where are we?"

Li Jingshu looked around and said, "Last night, in order to avoid that man's pursuit, I carried you on the boat, pulled up the sail, and ran desperately into Dongting Lake without paying attention to the direction."

Lan Qiao sighed softly and said, "Thanks to you yesterday."

"Why are you still saying this?" Li Jingshu said softly, "You took the risk for my sake, and you got hurt trying to protect me. How could I not save you?"

When Lan Qiao heard her mention the injury, he couldn't help but perform some self-examination and found that except for the external injuries on his left hand, calf and back when the board broke through, there didn't seem to be any serious internal injuries.

At that time, he was exhausted and suffered an impact on his back. The huge instantaneous pressure blocked his meridians and made him unable to regain his breath for a while. Then he fell into the water again and almost suffocated to death.

Thinking of this, he felt much better, and suddenly felt thirsty again. He wanted to bend down to drink some lake water, but he felt a pain again.

"Let me do it." Li Jingshu moved over, stretched out her jade hands to scoop up a handful of water from the lake, brought it to his face and said with a smile, "Drink quickly."

Lan Qiao drank all the water in Li Jingshu's hand in two gulps. Li Jingshu then grabbed another handful of water, and Lan Qiao drank it all again. It was not until the fourth drink that Lan Qiao waved his hand to indicate that he had enough.

Li Jingshu took out an embroidered handkerchief, wiped the remaining drops of water from the corners of Lan Qiao's mouth and face and said, "If you go back like this, Xiao Ye will definitely blame me."

"Oh, don't mention it." Lan Qiao thought of Arutai's terrifying stick skills and said with lingering fear, "It's okay to be beaten. The key is that you didn't get back your dowry jewelry."

"If it doesn't work this time, then try next time." Li Jingshu said with a smile, "There is always a chance. I'm not in such a hurry to get married."

Lan Qiao nodded slightly, not sure if he heard Li Jingshu's consolation, but suddenly said, "You have been tossing with me all night, and now you stay up until dawn, you must be hungry."

Li Jingshu looked at Lan Qiao without saying anything, and just shook her head slightly. She was actually so hungry that she was weak, but she just thought that it was useless to say she was hungry on this vast lake, so she didn't want to say it to make Lan Qiao feel uncomfortable.

"I feel sorry for you." Lan Qiao rolled his eyes, and suddenly pulled out the jade sword with a "swish" sound, and then plunged into the lake on the side with a "pop".

He endured the pain from the wound, pulled up a big herring from the water, and while using his internal strength to clean the fish scales neatly, he said, "Look at me."

The oil blossoms sizzled, and the green smoke curled up.

Lan Qiao holds the fish tail in his left hand and holds the sword in his right hand. He rubs and slides the back of the sword repeatedly on the fish. He infuses the sword with zhenqi, causing the sword to generate heat. The fish meat is heated to release fish oil, and the fish oil in turn cooks the fish meat. Special

It was the oil that flowed out from the belly of the fish. Lan Qiao carefully collected it on the sword, then turned it around and applied it to the back of the fish.

In a short while, a fried fish that was charred on the outside, tender on the inside, hot and fragrant was ready. Li Jingshu said with envy, "I only thought there was no charcoal on this small sampan, but I didn't expect that you could cook fish out of thin air. It's really amazing."

"

Lan Qiao secretly felt ashamed. He was actually inspired by Bai Xueyin's iced watermelon. He did the opposite and came up with this method of internal heat generation. He smiled and said, "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. We are sitting on the Dongting Lake."

How can we go hungry with this huge treasure house of aquatic products?”

Li Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Although it sounds nice, looking at the quality of this fish, I'm afraid it's not even close to being cooked."

"That's just because I haven't done the last step yet." Lan Qiao smiled proudly at her, and suddenly cut the jade sword along the back of the fish, and immediately the aroma of hot fried meat wafted out.

Lan Qiao held the incision with his hands and let the jade and sword with hot oil slowly pass through the fish body. This not only divided the whole herring into two thin and even pieces of fish, but also fried the inner surface of the fish into a beautiful shape.

Nice golden color.

"This is really done." Lan Qiao said as he picked off the fish bones and handed a piece of fish to Li Jingshu, "Try it and see. This is called using local materials and adapting to changes."

Li Jingshu chuckled lightly and took the fish, took a bite and said, "She can cook well, and she also takes the opportunity to show off. No wonder Xiao Ye let you deceive her so easily."

Lan Qiao was dissatisfied and said, "Don't say such ugly things, and don't forget to be short-tongued. Although we are now destined to be inseparable, don't tear me down."

"Isn't it okay to envy you?" Li Jingshu responded to the situation and changed the topic, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I owe you this time. I will make it up to you when I get back."

Lan Qiao stared at her face carefully, and then said for a long time, "You have really changed."

"Oh" Li Jingshu said calmly, "What has changed?"

"You would never have said so many words to coax me in the past." Lan Qiao thought for a moment and smiled, "What you said to me after we met again is probably worse than what I said to Uncle Xu back then."

Many months add up to more.”

"People will always change and grow." Li Jingshu lowered her head and said quietly, "If back then, I mean if, if I was willing to say so many words to you, would you still leave me?"

This is a question that is extremely difficult for Lan Qiao to answer. The reason why he can now calmly face Li Jingshu, whom he once admired when he was young, is not only because he has let go of the past, but also because he now belongs to someone in his heart.

If he says he will leave her, it would be like admitting that his feelings for her back then were not pure enough. If he says he won't, it would mean that his love for Feng Yeling is not strong enough now.
