Xiao Moyan shook his head imperceptibly and said, "I haven't heard of it." After a pause, Xiao Moyan continued, "I think he is."
All he heard was that the people from the four states followed Shui Lianche to the Water Viewing Platform.
Before leaving the inn, Ji Xingzhi specifically gave the inn's waiter some silver to help him buy two masks, and gave the remaining silver to the waiter as a reward.
After leaving the inn, I looked at the gentle water town in front of me. The white carved buildings were reflected on the gurgling water. Dozens of small boats were moored on a wide ditch, and there was a person sitting on each boat, both a man and a woman.
The men were between 20 and 60 years old, wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, revealing their bronzed, muscular arms and calves. They wore a gauze scarf on their heads, a white towel on their shoulders, and straw sandals woven from some unknown type of hay. They looked very energetic in this attire.
The women were all in their thirties and forties. Compared to the men's refreshing attire, the women dressed more conservatively. Their hair was tied up in a single bun with wooden or silver hairpins inserted in it. They wore simple dresses with narrow sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing a small part of their arms. Their skin was whiter than the men and they looked tougher than other women.
Some boats move on the water with the current, with several men and women sitting on them. There is a low table on the boat with cakes, tea, or wine on it. People sit on the boat and talk and laugh. When they are hungry, they eat a piece of cake. When they are thirsty, they drink a cup of tea. When they are in high spirits, they laugh out loud and drink a pot of good wine freely and happily.
Perhaps because today was the Holy Day of Peace, some boatmen rowed their boats into the middle of the water and deliberately overturned the boats, causing everyone on the boat to fall into the river. The boatmen swam back to the shore and laughed happily. Many people who fell into the water did not know how to swim. Soldiers who knew how to swim had already been standing by on the water corridors on both sides, ready to jump into the water to rescue people at any time.
The boatman overturned the boat, not because he had any grudge against the people on the boat, but because the Book of Peace just wanted to have some fun.
There were also some more restrained boatmen who rowed the boat to the center of the water, jumped into the water holding the oars, swam back to the shore, and smiled innocently and happily at the helpless people on the boat.
No one was offended by the prank; it was a special day.
Looking at the peaceful and happy Shuizhou City, Ji Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh once again, "What a wonderful place..."
As soon as the voice fell, Ji Xingzhi suddenly looked at Xiao Moyan with interest and said, "Uncle, do you know how to swim?"
Xiao Moyan paused for a moment, and immediately saw what Ji Xingzhi was planning. Even so, he still replied honestly, "I don't know."
But the flowing water can do nothing to him.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi showed a cunning smile. Although her face could not be seen because of the mask, her eyes had already betrayed her.
Ji Xingzhi looked up at Xiao Moyan, her eyes filled with evil amusement. "I know him."
Ji Xingzhi had never seen Xiao Moyan make a fool of himself before. This time, in order to see Xiao Moyan make a fool of himself, Ji Xingzhi specially chose to take a boat to the opposite side.
Xiao Moyan did not object, and silently followed Ji Xingzhi and boarded Ji Xingzhi's pirate ship.
No, I got on a small boat.
The boatman was a man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He was dressed like other boatmen, but he was younger, with a full forehead, clear eyebrows and eyes, and looked more energetic.
After getting on the boat, Ji Xingzhi and Xiao Moyan sat facing each other. Because the boat was very small, two people could not sit side by side, so they had to sit facing each other.
