The second floor of the cruise ship presents a unique and charming scene.
There is only an extremely spacious platform here, on which is built an exquisite sunshade pavilion, like a shining pearl inlaid in it.
There are many comfortable seats on the platform, enough to accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
Looking around from this position, the view is wide and unobstructed, and you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every corner.
Whether it is the sparkling lake, the rolling hills in the distance, or the lush woods and colorful gardens on the shore, you can see it all.
Obviously, this cruise ship is specially designed and manufactured for tourists to enjoy the scenery.
At this time, the boatman of the ship came over.
He was a burly middle-aged man with a warm smile on his face, and his every move revealed a simplicity and honesty.
After properly arranging Jiang Ling and the others, he smiled and asked:
"Guests, are you planning to attend that lively poetry competition or martial arts tournament?"
For Jiang Ling, he did not come here specifically for the poetry competition and martial arts contest.
He doesn't have much interest or feelings about this kind of activities.
You know, China has experienced thousands of years of cultural heritage, and has accumulated a vast variety of poems and songs.
For example, the world-famous "Three Hundred Tang Poems", although he was unable to memorize all of them and could only recite a few of them, at least he was not completely unfamiliar with them.
So, Jiang Ling smiled and slowly replied: "To be honest, my family and I are all strangers who came from far away, and this is our first time to set foot on the land of Nanyu City.
We really have no idea what beautiful sights and places worth seeing are here!
If you have a recommendation for a place that you think is beautiful and famous, you might as well take us there to broaden our horizons and give it a good tour. "
After hearing Jiang Ling's words, the boatman's face suddenly showed a warm smile, and he quickly responded: "Oh! My goodness! You guys are so lucky to have come at the right time!"
"During this time period, our Nanyu City is simply a paradise on earth!
Not only is the climate pleasant and the temperature just right, making people feel extremely comfortable;
Moreover, at this moment, the whole city is surrounded by flowers, and the whole city is filled with fragrance and beauty!
Look at those colorful flowers on the shore, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow...it's so beautiful!"
Having said this, the boatman paused for a moment, then pointed to the Nanyang River flowing by, and continued with excitement in his eyes:
"Look at our Nanyang River, the scenery there is even more amazing!
The sparkling water reflects the blue sky and white clouds and the green mountains and trees on both sides, as if a natural ink painting is unfolding before your eyes.
Especially these few days, it’s the busiest time of the year for the Nanyang River!”
"A grand poetry competition, martial arts tournament, and flower viewing event are being held on the central section of the river!
This was all hosted by the government, with the active assistance of several major families in the city to create such a wonderful event.
Speaking of this year, it is much more lively than previous years!
Participants in the competition come from all over, and each of them has unique skills and talents.
The prizes for this competition are also very generous and attractive. I heard that the first prize winner will receive a priceless treasure!"
The boatman really loves his city and became more and more excited the more he introduced it.
It feels like I am one of the contestants.
At this time, the boatman couldn't help but look at both sides of the river and sighed.
“Actually, it’s quite beautiful just to quietly admire it.
Look, the wind blows gently, the petals fall one by one, and the river surface becomes particularly beautiful."
I felt like I was talking too much and was afraid of disturbing the two guests. As for the two little guests, they were eating various snacks and delicacies and had no time to appreciate the scenery.
"Oh, my two guests, I won't bother you anymore. I'll take you on a tour first, and then we'll go to the competition stage. However, we may not be able to squeeze in."
"It's okay. The boatman is busy. We'll go see it if we can. It's up to fate. It's all up to fate."
After the boatman left, the second floor, which had been a bit noisy, suddenly became extremely quiet, as if time had frozen at that moment.
Jiang Ling just leaned quietly on Yue Qianli's broad and warm shoulders, their fingers intertwined.
The picture is that one person is looking leisurely at the sparkling river, while the other person's eyes fall on the person who is concentrating on appreciating the beautiful scenery by the river, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering.
At this moment, there was not much verbal communication between them, but the quiet and peaceful atmosphere made people feel an indescribable beauty, as if the years had stopped at this moment, leaving only the heartwarming picture of the lovers accompanying and relying on each other.
However, in this silence, two lightning-fast figures suddenly crossed the river in the distance.
The two figures flew across the water as lightly as birds, and in the blink of an eye they landed steadily on the top of a super huge ship in the middle of the river.
This sudden change broke the original calm, and exclamations were heard one after another on both sides of the river.
People put down what they were doing and stretched their necks to look towards the big ship, wanting to see clearly what amazing thing had happened.
Even the cute little cubs who were eating with gusto were attracted by the noise around them. They raised their heads curiously, and their big round eyes kept looking around.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
The little cub blinked his clear eyes and asked in a baby voice.
Jiang Ling's eyes were still fixed on the two mysterious figures in front of him. He just casually replied, "It's okay, son. Just focus on eating."
Hearing his father say this, the little cub nodded obediently, "Oh, okay."
Then he lowered his head again and continued to immerse himself in the food in front of him, thinking it was super delicious.
However, the little guy did not forget to share his delicious food with his uncle sitting next to him.
While eating, the two children discussed which dish was delicious and they wanted to eat it again, and then wrote it down with a smile.
Yue Qianli glanced at the two people fighting fiercely in the distance and frowned.
Jiang Ling asked as if he had sensed something.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these two people?"
"Well, I have a feeling they're not from the tournament.
The two men's moves were strange, and each carried a strong murderous aura.
"A martial arts tournament shouldn't allow any casualties." Yue Qianli spoke slowly in a deep voice.
