Hearing the old voice from the lonely boat, Li Yu raised the paper umbrella in his hand a little, so that the sight in front of him was wider.The lone boat came so fast, even though the lake was rolling with waves, it didn't affect its speed at all.In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the shore, and the penny was gently tapped in the mud.

", but going to the center of the lake?" The clear voice came to the ear again, and the female-specific voice sounded even more weird. []

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Yu suddenly wanted to laugh, because he remembered a very old, very old video.It is about a group of people who were waiting for a boat to cross the river, and suddenly saw someone coming in a boat from the center of the river. When they were carried to the center of the river, the bottom of the boat suddenly disappeared, and the boatman also jumped into the river and disappeared into the river.

"The boat cost only ten taels of silver." Seeing that Li Yu hadn't been there for a long time, the old woman continued in a courteous tone.However, the asking price for this short section of waterway is ten taels, which is really ridiculously expensive.

Li Yu immediately took out a bank note from his arms, walked a few steps closer to the boat, and handed it over.

"Oh, it's hard, I can't find such a big money." The old woman only looked at it for a while and then yelled and handed it over.

Li Yu didn't go to pick it up. The old woman came here in a strange way. Now that it's not clear, it's hard to see her five fingers when she raises her hand. She knew the number above just by looking at it.But after thinking about it, it seemed that she had no intention of concealing her identity.Seeing that the misty rain in the Dongting Lake is pouring, the night is getting thick, and she can still sail the boat like flying, it's just a matter of explaining everything.He stepped lightly, and he jumped into the cabin while moving, and the paper umbrella had already been put away.

"Trouble sailing the boat in the middle of the night!" Li Yu said and walked to the interior of the cabin, but did not accept the silver ticket.

"Ah, thank you so much, what a good man, good man!" the old woman chattered to herself, but with a little effort in her hand, the boat broke through the waves and got out before the penny was retracted.

Like the previous carriage, there was actually a furnace of incense burning in this small boat, and the pleasant scent of sandalwood permeated the cabin.There is also an oil lamp on the low table in the cabin, and the wick inside can be seen flickering through the glass cover.The wick is properly picked, the light is neither too dim nor too bright, and the smell of smoke after the lamp oil is burned is not felt at all.This lone boat looks like it should be used for fishing. The moment Li Yu jumped in, it was clear that there were several fish baskets hanging outside the boat.He took another deep breath and screened it carefully. There was no fishy smell, but there was some strange scent, very thin and very light.Seems to be somewhat the same as the one on the wagon, but doesn't seem to be quite the same.

Li Yu sat on the ground by the low table, and there was nothing on the table except an oil lamp.Thinking of the stories that came to mind when I got on the boat, I couldn't help but smile.

"It's the first time I've come to Dongting Lake!" Just as Li Yu was about to sink into self-study, the voice of the old woman talking outside the cabin was still clear in his ears through the wind and rain.

Li Yu nodded, and after seeing a curtain blocking the front of the cabin, he said again, "Yes." In fact, he did the same thing, it was superfluous, and the person outside must be clear about every move in the cabin .But sometimes, even if it is superfluous, it has to be done.

"No wonder you're waiting on the shore in the middle of the night!" He continued, "It's raining too much today, and the lake can't be seen clearly. The boatmen on the lake have already gone to the shore to rest! Fortunately, my eyes are still sharp. You can see it from a distance." Then he babbled about the daily life of the boatman on Dongting Lake, and carefully told him not to rush at night when he came next time, just agree with ordinary boat girls.

Li Yu was a little dumbfounded for a while, and it was not easy to interrupt, so she kept letting her narrate.

"By the way, where are you going in the lake?" The old woman asked after finishing her chatter.This should have been asked by Li Yu before boarding the boat, and she asked this question, it is a bit knowing, it should be intentional!

Li Yu replied lightly, "Junshan."

The old woman seemed to be very talkative, "Recently many people have gone to Junshan, but nothing happened two days ago, those beggars on Junshan suddenly blocked the way to the shore and prevented them from going up. The swords were on the verge of breaking out, it was very scary What!" She should be talking about Wuhua and Nangongling's plan to seize power, but Li Yu continued to listen to her if it didn't work out. "That's really hard for our boat family. Seeing that many people are going to Junshan, but there is no way to earn the money. Those beggars are really hateful." Just like staring, she also has the habit of tantalizing people, and then It's all about the little things.

"Oh, my son forgot to pour tea for you. Boating on the lake has to be done, so you do it! Although this tea is only produced locally, it is also a royal tribute. It would be a pity not to taste it. The old man It's useless!" the old woman said as if suddenly remembering.

"Gudu, Gudu", Li Yu heard a soft sound suddenly coming from the side. Looking back, at some point, there was an exquisite teapot placed on the small incense burner, which was steaming outwards.When he came in, he saw clearly that there was nothing on the small stove except for the light smoke rising slowly.

"The tea set and tea leaves are under the table."

While Li Yu was hesitating, he felt that the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and the boat that was originally flat and stable suddenly shook, and the frequency of coming was getting higher and higher.He turned his head and glanced at the teapot on the small stove. It was still steaming, but no boiling water was spilled out, and he knew it immediately. "Then thank you very much for the hospitality." As he spoke, he reached out and groped under the table, and found a disc very easily.When I took it out, I saw that it was a beautiful tea set.While he was making such movements, although the hull was still shaking, the amplitude was much smaller.

"Sit still, the wind and rain are really too strong." The old woman reminded.

Li Yu slowly brewed tea following Tiantong's method of making tea in his memory. After a while, a wisp of tea fragrance spread out in the cabin.Although he learned eight or nine points in the movements, he knew in his heart that there was probably a gap of eight or nine points.

"Hehe, I don't see it, I still have some insights into the tea ceremony!" The old woman said, her words were much lighter, and she was quite pleased with the success of her plan.

When Li Yu drank the first sip of tea, the cabin was completely stable, and he could no longer feel the slightest shaking. It was not like walking in the stormy Dongting Lake at all.

Li Yu put down the small teacup, "It's rough and fur, I'm laughing at you. I can't taste good or bad tea, I don't know if this tea has a name."

"It's really modest. This tea is the world-famous Junshan Yinzhen." The old woman said very proudly, and she looked very proud, but it was very strange to Li Yu's ears.After all, what he said was the truth. "Where is the air in the front, but you can't enjoy the beauty in this cabin?"

After hearing what the old woman said, Li Yu stood up helplessly.If the ship is willing to come up, then the consequences must be borne, and no one can blame others.He opened the hanging curtain and sat cross-legged on the hatch of the ship, his eyes were still dim, and the beautiful scenery could not be seen.

The old woman seemed very satisfied with Li Yu's behavior, and while transporting the penny easily, she said, "Have you heard the legend of Junshan?"

At this time, there was no longer any occlusion between the two, so Li Yu shook his head to show he didn't know.

"Nowadays, there are not many people who can calm down. Naturally, there is no place to listen to legends and stories." Li Yu's eyes froze when he heard the old woman's words. But he couldn't grasp the subject.

Regardless of Li Yu's surprised eyes, the old woman told a sad story in that old voice.She said that in this area of ​​Junshan, if you have the heart, you can hear it everywhere.The protagonists of the story are two women, one is Ehuang and the other is Nvying.Li Yu still has no impression of these two names. It seems that these two people are not important in memory or in the database.The story tells that when they heard that their husband had died in a different place, they were distraught immediately, and looked at the river and wept, and their tears spilled on the bamboo forest, and the spots stained it, forming a special kind of bamboo called mottled bamboo.

This story was narrated by the old woman. Under the rendering of the old voice, coupled with the current scene of bleak wind and rain, Li Yu was instantly infected.This is really strange, he was not such a weak person who is easy to change his mind, but now he is naturally sad, thinking that the first thing after going ashore is to see the magical mottled bamboo.

"The two souls of the emperor and concubine will last forever, and the mangosteen will be full of tears." The old woman ended the story with a couplet.

"Their husband is really not lonely under the spring." Li Yu murmured.

Seeing Li Yu's expression, the old woman's eyes flashed, and there were some movements that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Do you know who this husband is?"

"who?"

"This king's name is Shun."

Li Yu read along, "Shun?"

"It seems that I haven't even heard of this name, what a pity!" The old woman sighed, "It's windy outside, please go back to the cabin to rest, Junshan will be there in a while." As she spoke, the penny in her hand stroked faster , as if dancing.

Hearing the old woman's words, Li Yu didn't move, he was still muttering to himself, and at the same time, he was still thinking about what she said just now.

"Junshan is here, get off the boat!"

Looking at the shadowy Junshan in front of him, Li Yu looked up, then stood up, ready to jump to the shore with his feet.Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and a penny stood in front of him, "It's raining, you forgot to take your umbrella."

Li Yu moved his feet, already avoiding the penny, "Please help me return it to her! Thank you! Farewell!" The figure flickered, and he had already climbed Junshan in the rain. The disciples of the beggar gang who were guarding these places disappeared .

"Hehe, goodbye!" The old woman danced the penny in her hand, and the boat shuttled away like an arrow and disappeared on the lake.
