Chapter 513 Saving People
After An Yan finished taking care of the old lady, she went back to the boat with Li Rongsen. They were not in a hurry to get back, so they slowed down the boat and moved closer to the ground so that they could enjoy more scenery.
"Let's go take a look outside." Li Rongsen looked out the window. He suddenly felt like going out to see the scenery.
An Yan would naturally follow his wishes and said, "Okay, it's still early now, so there's no need to rush back. We just need to go back before dinner."
Li Rongsen nodded, took An Yan's hand and went out.
I didn't know where I was, it seemed like I was driving in a mountain range. There were bright colors everywhere, which was very refreshing. Many of the trees were very tall, and some even touched the edge of the bed.
Li Rongsen stood by the railing outside the boat, pointed at a place and asked, "What's that? Is it a valley?"
An Yan looked in the direction he pointed and found that the valley was covered with azaleas. They were as red as fire and stretched out continuously across the entire mountain. It was really a delightful sight. She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "It's so beautiful, it's no worse than the scenery in our West City."
"If you like, shall we go down and take a look?" Li Rongsen asked her, as if he was going out on a trip with her.
At this time, they saw a long silk ribbon waving below, as if there was a person underneath, greeting them.
An Yan said: "Is she calling us?"
"Let's go down and take a look." Li Rongsen said.
An Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a break." Then he used his mind to let the boat sink and stop at an open space in the valley.
The big ship was naturally still suspended in the air, but it was very close to the ground, only about a foot high, and there was a plank extending out for people to walk on.
Li Rongsen walked in front and motioned An Yan to slow down. Rhododendrons were everywhere here and one could pick a bunch with just one hand. The fiery color made An Yan's face look very beautiful.
"I never thought this kind of flower was that beautiful, because it is very common. Compared with other flowers, it doesn't seem to be anything special. But when I saw it today, it was different. Perhaps it is because of the vast expanse of it like an ocean that we can appreciate the beauty of this flower." Li Rongsen said.
An Yan also thought the scenery here was very pleasant, and she could smell a refreshing fragrance in the air. She said, "It's really beautiful. There are no mountains in our West City." Seeing Li Rongsen picking fruits, she asked him, "What are you doing?"
"You said they are all beautiful, so I will pick some and plant some in your yard." Li Rongsen said.
"No need to pick too many. We can come here to play some other day. Bring Yan Qingqiu, Mei Die and the others along. It's more fun when there are more people." An Yan chuckled, then walked forward and said, "There seems to be a house up ahead. It must be the people there waving at us."
It seems that there is only one family here, with three thatched houses. They are not very simple, but plain but not poor. They are surrounded by fences to form a small courtyard, which is exquisite and compact.
A person in a long skirt ran out of the yard, holding a long piece of silk in her hand. From her clothes, it was clear that she was a woman, but she was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen. She said to her, "Hello, we are just passing by and just saw someone waving at us from below. Is that you?"
"It's me. I'm waving to you." The woman's voice was very thin and gentle.
"Do you recognize us?" Li Rongsen asked. Otherwise, why would she wave at them? It was obvious that she intended to let them come down.
"Are you from outside?" the woman asked.
Li Rongsen took a step closer to An Yan. He had to be on guard against her to prevent her from having any bad intentions. Why was she the only girl here in the wilderness? It was a bit suspicious.
I heard An Yan say, "This is our first time here."
"It's not that I don't want to show my true face to people, but my mother made me swear since I was a child that I must marry whoever sees my face. I hope you can forgive me." The woman first explained.
Li Rongsen quickly said, "It's okay, don't pick it." He didn't want to look at it either, and was afraid that she would pick it.
"I beg you to help me, I'm at my wit's end." The woman was about to kneel down on the ground, but fortunately An Yan strode forward to support her and asked her, "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Why are you being so polite?"
"The Sea Kingdom is selecting talented and beautiful women to enter the palace. I wanted to participate in the selection, but my sister wouldn't let me go. She lured me here and trapped me. I have no way to escape. I just hope someone can pass by and help me. Today is the last day of the selection. If I miss it, I won't be able to go." The woman's tone began to get a little anxious.
"Why doesn't your sister let you go?" An Yan asked.
"I shouldn't be too proud, but I can be sure that apart from me, no one else in the Sea Country can be more beautiful than my sister." The woman said calmly, showing her confidence in her appearance.
Li Rongsen chuckled, thinking that he had seen all the women in the world, and there had never been one more beautiful than An Yan, but he didn't care, no matter whether she was bragging or not.
An Yan didn't care about appearance. She asked, "How do you want us to help you?"
"Just take me out and send me to the Sea Country," the woman said directly. She placed something in front of An Yan and said, "I can use this as a thank you gift. Please accept it. Although it's small, the gems on it are rare."
An Yan lowered her eyes to look at the item in her palm. It was a pair of beautiful earrings, inlaid with valuable gemstones. They were probably the most valuable things on her body. She said, "No need. It's just a small favor for us. We'll send you out right away."
"Thank you very much." The woman did not force herself, thinking that this pair of earrings was nothing after all. When she became the mistress of the Sea Kingdom in the future, she would naturally be able to give him a huge sum of money. It would not be too late to thank him then, so she took back the earrings.
An Yan said, "Come on, come with me to the boat."
The woman nodded and followed An Yan, while Li Rongsen followed them back to the boat.
The woman was also seeing such a novel mount for the first time. She said, "What kind of boat is this? It's decorated with so many flowers. It's really beautiful. Although it's not the red of the azalea, it's also elegant in white."
"Come, let's sit inside." An Yan motioned the woman to follow her into the cabin, and led her to the table, motioning her to drink tea and have some snacks.
But the woman refused to accept it. She only said, "I'm not hungry or thirsty. Thank you for your kindness."
An Yan waved her hand, and the big ship started to move, slowly flew into the sky, and then moved forward.
Li Rongsen was not in the same cabin with them. He just stood outside, glancing inside from time to time. Although he thought this woman did not cause any harm, he still had to be careful in case her intentions were not pure.
An Yan didn't force the woman to eat, but simply asked her, "Is it your sister who trapped you?"
"She is my biological sister from the same mother. Before I was born, she was the most beautiful woman in the city, but after I was born, this title was given to me. She has always been dissatisfied with it." The woman said bluntly.
An Yan just listened quietly without expressing any opinions. Besides, she didn't want to ask any more questions. After all, it was someone else's private matter.
