Li Nianfan had heard the words "Jingyue Lake" more than once, especially when buying fish. The fish shop owner liked to mention Jingyue Lake the most. It was a famous tourist attraction in Luoxian City.
He had been there before and was shocked by the beauty of Jingyue Lake. However, he was a single man at that time. Although he wanted to, he felt that there was no need to go boating. Now, on a whim, he prepared to take Daji to the lake.
The two of them first came to Luoxian City, and then took a carriage. In less than an hour, a mirror-like lake appeared in sight. The sun shone on the lake, emitting a sparkling light. From a distance, it was like a light show covering the ground, magnificent and incomparable. After
driving for a while,
the driver said, "Mr. Li, we are almost there. If you are interested, you may as well come out and take a look. The lake breeze is very comfortable."
The driver was a local of Luoxian City. He was a big man with a beard and a rough voice.
"Haha, all right!"
Li Nianfan laughed and took Daji out of the carriage and sat on the driver's rack outside the carriage.
Suddenly, a damp wind blew from the direction of Jingyue Lake, like a delicate hand caressing the face, indescribably comfortable.
"It is indeed comfortable." Li Nianfan felt it and couldn't help but exclaimed.
He looked around. Although he had been here before, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is hard to imagine that nature can actually give birth to such a wonderful scenery.
On both sides of the Jingyue Lake, there are towering mountains, surrounded by dense forests and many strange rocks. However, there are no rocks protruding from the surface of the lake, as if they don't want to break this mirror. The
calm lake surface and the steep mountains on both sides form a sharp contrast, which makes people feel the tranquility and beauty of the Jingyue Lake.
"The reason why Luoxian City is so prosperous has a lot to do with this Jingyue Lake. Even many people who are too idle will come here to see it."
The driver obviously often solicits customers and knows Jingyue Lake very well. He pointed to a place and said, "Mr. Li, look, that's the Nuxia Gate."
Looking up, the two banks converge there to form an extremely narrow terrain. Because Jingyue Lake originates from the sea in the east, the water flow is very strong. Suddenly it narrows, naturally forming a turbulent water flow, which is indeed like a raging wave, rolling out.
However, the most magical scene appeared. When the raging wave passed the Nuxia Gate, it suddenly became extremely peaceful and instantly merged into the tranquility of Jingyue Lake without causing any ripples.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but say, "It looks like the lake is very deep."
"Yes, it's unfathomable!"
The driver responded and reminded, "Mr. Li, you'd better be careful when you go boating. You are more delicate than those fishermen. If you accidentally fall into the water, it will be dangerous."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I don't need to. Thanks for the reminder."
"Whoa..."
The driver pulled the reins and the carriage stopped steadily. "Mr. Li, Jingyue Lake is only a hundred meters away from here. The road ahead is not easy for the carriage to go. I can only take you here."
"Okay, goodbye." Li Nianfan paid the bill and took Daji out of the carriage and walked towards Jingyue Lake.
A large number of people had gathered by the lake, mostly fishing and fishing, and many boatmen deliberately moored their boats on the shore, waiting for people to take the boat.
Looking at the lake in the distance, there were hundreds of boats competing for the current. On the golden lake, fishing boats floated slowly forward, forming a picture of thousands of sails.
Li Nianfan walked up to an old man wearing a bamboo hat and said with a smile, "Old man, do you want to rent this boat?"
"Rent? Young man, if you want to travel on the lake, I'll charge you two taels of silver for two people. If you want to go to the other side of the lake, you have to add another two taels." The old man said.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Old man, we are indeed here to cruise the lake, but we want to rent a boat and row it ourselves."
The old man was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking, "You row the boat yourself? Do you know how to do it?"
Li Nianfan said modestly, "I've learned a little, it's not a big problem."
"I naturally agree to this good thing, but rowing looks simple, but it's actually very difficult. Don't try to be brave." The old man didn't forget to remind him.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, how much deposit do you need?"
The old man was stunned again, "Deposit? What is a deposit?"
Li Nianfan shook his head with a wry smile, "Nothing."
He looked at the sky and it was already late. If he had a lot of fun, he would probably have to spend the night on the boat, so he directly paid the old man two days' boat fare.
"Old man, let's go." Li Nianfan waved his hand, then slightly rowed the boat, and the black-sailed boat drifted steadily towards the center of the lake.
The old man was relieved and immediately praised: "Wow, young man, you are amazing. Your father is also a boatman, right?"
"Haha, no."
Gradually, the shore was moving away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the people on the shore turned into small black dots. There were fishing boats that passed by Li Nianfan from time to time, and the people on them almost all looked at Li Nianfan curiously.
It was rare that a young man rowed his own boat, and he was obviously an old boatman.
As for Daji, they didn't dare to look at her. They often just glanced at her and looked away. She was too beautiful, and they really didn't dare to look at her.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, Li Nianfan put away the oars and let the boat drift with the waves.
"Little Daji, how is it?"
"I didn't expect that the young master is so good at rowing, and his movements are so smooth, pleasing to the eyes, and calm and indifferent. It's amazing." Daji said almost without thinking.
The corners of Li Nianfan's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm asking you how the scenery is?"
Daji said lightly: "The scenery is beautiful."
Li Nianfan couldn't help but pause. He was holding back a poem and was about to recite it to show off, but he swallowed it back immediately.
Alas, little Daji is a little unromantic, a straight woman.
Li Nianfan walked into the black-awned boat and said, "Come in and pack your things first."
He had specially chosen this black-awned boat. The boat had a nice hull and plenty of space. There was a square table in the middle of the black-awning boat, and there was a space on each side that was big enough for one person to walk in, just like a small room.
Daji asked, "Sir, are we really not going back tonight?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Probably not. It's getting late now, and it's rare to go out for a boat trip. It's actually nice to enjoy the night view of the lake. Look, I even brought the lantern."
"Oh."
Daji felt a little happy in her heart, and immediately came to help Li Nianfan pack his things. Because there was a system space, it was very convenient to bring things, and the basic equipment for food, clothing and shelter was all available.
