Although the pier is not close, there is an ox cart, so it doesn’t take too much time.
In less than half an hour, we arrived at the pier and saw boats on the river coming and going. When the boat boss saw someone, he waved his hand: "Let's sail!"
Today, the river is busier than usual. There are boats passing by constantly, but most of them are small boats. The Yu family ordered a medium-sized boat, leaving Ye Buhui to live alone in a small room, Su Ziji, Yu Lu, and a book boy.
Not too particular about it, just live in a big room.
The boat was chartered with both men and women. There were two boatmen, one big and one small. They looked like father and son. They both kept quiet, which made Yu Lu and Su Ziji very satisfied.
At noon the next day, after eating, Yu Lu felt a little seasick and lay down to rest. Su Ziji was not yet sleepy. At this time, the lake was quiet and the sky was dark. It had become overcast at some point. He turned around and saw the cabin opposite.
It was open, so I knocked on the door.
The light in the cabin opposite was very dark, with only the small window letting in the faint light. Ye Buhui held up his palm-sized face and looked at the chessboard seriously. This frowning and meditative look was very different from usual, and the chess pieces were pinched by his small hands.
Stay, it makes your face even more white.
"No wonder the boy from the Tan family keeps thinking about him. Although he is a disgusting guy, his vision is not bad." Even Su Ziji had to admit that although Ye Buhui was still young, he was already quite stunning.
"No wonder Uncle Ye would urge Buhui to participate in the chess match. It would be better for an orphan girl from a poor family to have an ordinary appearance, but with an outstanding appearance and no means of livelihood, she will be prone to suffering in the future."
"However, as long as I am here, no one will bully this girl!"
"Huh? This chess game looks a bit familiar." Su Ziji thought, and when he got to the front and looked at the chessboard, he couldn't help but make a sound.
Unexpectedly, Ye Buhui "awoke" from deep thought. She immediately glared at him, frowned, scrambled the chess pieces, rearranged them, and hummed: "This chess game evolved from your family's chess record. This alone,
You can tell that you haven't looked carefully."
There was quite a bit of displeasure in his tone.
Su Ziji touched his nose and knew that he had accidentally encountered the habit of "idiot".
A person who is crazy about painting, crazy about chess and calligraphy, a person who is crazy about art and skills must treasure the field he loves very much. I don't see people like Su Ziji guarding the "treasure mountain" but abandoning it.
"By the way, I see that Brother Yu seems to be a little seasick. Are you okay?" Just when Su Ziji felt that he had better leave to avoid being accused of being innocent again, Ye Buhui asked again seemingly awkwardly.
"I'm fine." Su Ziji was also quite surprised by this. He knew that he suffered from seasickness in his previous life, but he didn't expect that there would be nothing unusual in this life.
"Don't talk about me, talk about you. It will take four or five days on the road. The waterway does not stop day and night. We will reach Fucheng in one day. The boat is bumpy. Although playing chess is good, you still need to pay attention to rest." Su Ziji met Ye.
No regrets, no rest, no help but reminder.
Ye Buhui, who had expressed concern just now, returned to his normal nature and waved his hand to chase away: "I know, hey, you are so verbose, you want to take a nap, go back to your cabin and sleep!"
This girl!
Su Ziji almost laughed angrily, not wanting to argue with this girl, so he rubbed her head and Shi Shiran went out before her hair exploded.
Sure enough, when I heard an angry "Su Zi Ji", I felt a little calmer.
"It's not the end yet, let's read for a while." Returning to the cabin where he and Yu Lu lived separately, Su Ziji sat down and read in a low voice with a volume in his hand.
Although I don’t have a lot of experience, when I read a chapter, [Experience 1] floated before my eyes.
"I still have 200 experience points to upgrade. Let's get 150 points today!"
Yu Lu and his book boy Xian had fallen asleep, and there was no movement. Su Ziji deliberately lowered his voice. After reading three volumes, he finally gathered up his experience for the day. Just as he was about to take a rest, he suddenly heard a faint sound of a piano coming from outside. The sound of the piano flowed like a clear spring and came faintly. Even Su Ziji, who didn't know much about music, couldn't help but listen.
"Are there any students who are on the same journey?" It was not too late at this time, and Su Ziji was a little bored with reading, so he simply put the scroll on the table, stood up and walked out.
When we got out of the cabin, we could see at a glance that the fog had started to appear. The reeds were gradually becoming more and more lush, but now they were even more dense.
"This fog is a bit weird!" Su Ziji thought, a little further away, through the reeds, a boat appeared looming, which made people hesitate.
"Although I knew there was a boat when I heard the sound of the piano just now, this fog is strange."
"Before I burned the incense, I had never seen fog."
Su Ziji thought about it, and when he saw that it was a painted boat, he already felt that the painted boat was dyed with a layer of weirdness.
"This is a bit like the story of encountering a ghost in the lake in the biography of strange monsters." Su Ziji has reshaped the world view and no longer dares to say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. At this time, looking at the painted boat, he became more vigilant.
The fog was heavy. Normally, my boat was relatively small and moved along the reeds, while the boat was large and sailed in the river. Most of them were invisible. Su Ziji did not relax his vigilance and just listened.
The sound of the piano that I heard just now was indeed coming from the boat, but this time, it started ringing again.
After staring for a while, he didn't see the boat coming too close. Su Ziji breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that even if the boat's origin was unknown, it shouldn't do much harm to him.
"It seems that I am in a state of panic." Su Ziji was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of irrelevant matters, so he turned around and went back.
At this moment, a slightly familiar female voice sounded in the mist, and Su Ziji paused.
"...Third aunt, the sensor is near Linhua County, but we still can't find it. Could it be that we are looking in the wrong place?"
Su Ziji listened hard and heard an older female voice saying: "This is normal. Since it is a secret, how can it be found so easily?"
"Tianji, induction? Are they looking for someone nearby?" A girl figure suddenly appeared in Su Ziji's mind.
That day in the shrine, she reminded her that Su Ziji would never forget her.
The boats passed by each other, and although the conversation continued, it was inaudible. Su Ziji glanced at it and saw that the window was open under the boat lights, and a girl was about to look out of the window, and their eyes happened to meet, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.<

"Xiyan, what's wrong with you?"
In the painting boat, half separated by a screen, all you could see was a bronze goose fish lamp emitting soft light. In front of it was a five-foot wooden table with several fruits. Mrs. Hu sat in front of it, playing with a small ball fan in her hand.
Without raising his head, he asked.
Hu Xiyan heard the question, pinched half a piece of red sandalwood in her sleeve, but said: "Nothing, just looking at the scenery, the lanterns on the boat set off the quiet blue of the lake -"
The painting boat rowed leisurely, but very fast, with ripples in the water. In the blink of an eye, it was several feet away. Hu Sanyi did not become suspicious, but just sighed: "The lake is quiet and green, and we are about to enter Panlong Lake. Did you know that this lake
But those who have a master, at least had a master before."
Hu Xiyan secretly "poofed" at herself. The sight just now made her heart beat a little. Although it was covered by the fog, it was not absolute, but she was surprised to be seen by this young man again.
If it weren't for the half piece of red sandalwood that didn't move, or thought it was a destined person, and pondered at the moment, could this be my unlucky fate? This is not impossible, the fate is so unreasonable.
Thinking in her mind, without revealing anything, she asked in surprise: "There is a master, is it occupied by a big demon from the water tribe?"
Aunt Hu San sneered: "Calling it a big demon is an insult. Who do you think it is?"
Hu Xiyan's eyes fell on the river covered by thick fog, guessing who the third aunt said was even an insult to the great demon.
"Could it be a dragon?"
Hu Xiyan's first impression of the most powerful being in the aquatic tribe is the dragon.
"It is indeed a dragon, and there is a dragon palace."
"Third Aunt, it seems that the Dragon Palace is not here, but at Yueqin Lake, right?" Hu Xiyan couldn't help but half-cover her face with a small ball fan, and asked in silence.
Yueqin Lake is the first lake, with an area 68 times larger than Panlong Lake. It is almost the size of a county and looks like Yueqin, so it is called Yueqin Lake. This is a well-known fact.
"Yueqin Lake is the place of the Dragon Palace, but it is not the first Dragon Palace. Panlong means hidden dragon. This is the hidden residence of the Dragon King." Hu Sanyi said, her smile stopped in a blink of an eye, and she said straightly: "This
Regardless, we have found connections to take over the Fu Chess Tournament this time. Since there are many students in the Fu Chess Competition, maybe there will be someone we are looking for."
"Yes, Third Aunt!" This was the first priority, and Hu Xiyan responded with a slight smile.
Looking back again, within a few words, the boat was no longer visible, and then gradually disappeared, along with the fog on the river.
Seeing that the fog had dissipated a little, Su Ziji no longer covered his body and hurriedly went to the deck to look around. At this time, the sun dropped a ray of light in the dark clouds, illuminating the deep river with waves of silver light. On the huge river, only a solitary man was left.
A boat.
"The boat is so fast. Did you find me eavesdropping?"
Su Ziji was thinking, when there was a noise behind him, he turned around and saw the boatman's father and his son. The boatman, who was almost forty years old, warned: "Sir, the wind is chilly at night. If you come to Fucheng to take the exam, don't stand for a long time to avoid being exposed to the wind."<
/p>
Su Ziji felt disappointed and smiled: "Thank you for reminding me, I'll go back soon, oh, by the way."
He asked seemingly unintentionally: "What sound did you two hear?"
The father and son looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Then it's okay." Su Ziji was sure that he was the only one who saw this scene.
Back in the cabin, soft snoring could be heard from across the curtain. Su Ziji's attention was focused on the information frame he had summoned.
Glancing at the numerical value above, Su Ziji put it away and thought to himself: "There is no change. Is it because of this golden finger that I am different from others and can see a little bit of inhuman things?"
There was no reason for this speculation, and Su Ziji was not sure. After thinking about it for a moment, he gave it up.
Although I regret that I missed the girl again, the top priority is to go to Fucheng, accompany Buhui to participate in the chess match, and participate in the government examination to become a scholar. All other things can be postponed to later.
After Yu Lu got up from sleep, he heard the boatman shouting: "Entering the lake, entering the lake."
Looking from a distance, one can see a vast lake surface. This Panlong Lake is not small in area, with seven rivers flowing into it. Su Ziji can see rippling blue waves and clear water. This unpolluted water source is indeed a beautiful sight.
"No wonder we chose to hold the chess match here, it is an environment that can make people calm down." Su Ziji thought, would it be better to hire a boat and study in the lake before the exam?
But when I thought about the rental fees, I shook my head again.
"To dock here, we need to hire a big boat for daily life and study. Small boats are not possible, but the cost and rent of a big boat are more expensive than a single room in an inn, so it is not cost-effective."
As expected, poor people should not think too much.
After laughing at himself, as dusk approached, Su Ziji saw several painted boats in the distance. These boats were more luxurious than what he had just seen. They formed a continuous lantern boat. The lanterns were already lit, and the lights were brightly lit up and down.<

"Sir, this is a chess boat, with seven boats connected in a row." The boss of the boat introduced.
