Chapter 163 Wandering around the lake

Now that we have come to Dongting Lake, how can we not go to Yueyang Tower?

Of course, Yueyang Tower is on the east bank of Dongting Lake. They came from the south, and now they are on the south bank, which is still far away.

However, the two of them were not in a hurry. They just wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way when they went out for sightseeing. If they were anxious, they would lose the original intention of the trip.

The two of them went downstairs and took a casual walk towards their destination.

The background here is, after all, the world of martial arts. Excluding the players, there are also many well-dressed people in the martial arts world, carrying weapons behind their backs or around their waists.

On the head, men tend to wear hats, while women tend to wear veils.

Murong Fu understood this very well. If you run outside all day long and are exposed to the wind and sun, if you don't take some sunshade or sun protection measures, you don't need to take more measures. If you are exposed to the sun for a week, all the children in the world will be reduced to black charcoal!

In addition to the people in the martial arts world, there are also many ordinary people who are busy coming and going.

Although this is the area of ​​influence of the Nujiao Gang, they mostly occupy a number of islands in the lake. Although there is radiation on the shore, they seldom set foot on it openly, and they never bully men and women. This is how Dongting came to be.

Bustling scenes around the lake.

Moreover, here you can avoid the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the government and only need to pay a certain "protection fee".

The good reputation of low taxes and not harassing the people has led many people to move here on their own initiative and live here all year round. Some people even directly joined the Nujiao Gang to feel at ease.

After years of development in Nujiao Gang, some of the islands in the lake have begun to open to the outside world to welcome tourists. The island's specialty - Qingxi Spring, which is on special sale, can only be purchased when entering the island, gradually revitalizing the economy and increasing financial resources.

Think about it, how exciting it is to visit the "bandit den"! Even if it is actually very safe, it can't stop people from speculating about the unknown, and directly attracts a large number of "adventure" enthusiasts, and these people are often

Some wealth.

"Um, hello~"

There was an old man who had been ferrying people all year round on the shore. When he saw Murong Fu and the two approaching the water, he quickly rowed over. And there were more than one. There were three small canopies rowing over.

The old man rowing the oar in front of him moved the oar very quickly and shouted at the two of them from a distance: "Are you two gentlemen going to swim on the lake?"

"My uncle's guess is good!" Murong Fu also shouted from a distance.

The old man speeded up and rowed over. Seeing that there was no chance, the other two boats slowed down and turned around.

"Are you young couple going to visit the island? Our specialty is the clear stream spring? It is really unique, there is no other. Drinking it will definitely make you forget to come back and don't want to leave. Because, if you leave here, you will never leave.

I can’t drink anymore! Even if I, the emperor, want to drink? I have to come in person!"

The old man was beaming as he spoke. It was obvious that he was also a drinking buddy, and he was a loyal fan of Qingxiquan wine.

Murong Fu smiled. He had a good impression of the old man. When he was rowing, the other man moved the oar like flying. He obviously had martial arts skills, and he did not hesitate to recommend the two of them to the island. He was frank. He guessed that the old man was probably from the Angry Jiao Gang.

Someone in the family? Or maybe someone in the family has joined the gang.

"We are siblings, not husband and wife!" Dongfang Muxue waited for the old man to finish speaking and quickly explained.

The old man showed an ambiguous smile: "I understand, I understand. Many of the children from the Jianghu who come to play with us advertise as brothers and sisters to avoid trouble. But you actually call yourself brother and sister? It seems that girls are usually stronger."

Murong Fu was very happy and secretly said that the old man is awesome!

Seeing Dongfang Muxue's frustrated expression, he quickly answered: "We plan to go to Yueyang Tower for a tour first, and then we will talk about the island. I wonder if this old boat can be sold, and I will buy it at a high price."

"Why don't you go to the island first?"

The old man was startled at first, then nodded and suddenly realized: "Young people should think carefully. Once you live on this island, you won't want to leave. Of course, you must have fun elsewhere before doing so."

"Young man, are you asking if my boat is for sale? It depends on what price you pay. I usually make a living on this, and I can't build another boat without it. But there are some days, and you can't let me spend my days building boats.

Starve to death!"

What the old man said was interesting. Although he was raising the price, it was not annoying.

Murong Fu directly handed over a large ingot of silver, which amounted to a hundred taels: "We are destined to meet each other, old man, do you think this money is enough?"

The old man's eyes lit up, but he didn't take it: "Enough is enough, young man, have you thought about it? It seems that you are at a disadvantage, but don't say that I am bullying you when the time comes."

"How come? If it's enough, I'll do it next."

Murong Fu took the initiative to stuff the money over.

Having money makes things easier. The old man even smiled and pointed out the characteristics of the boat and how to operate it, and then left the boat.

"I didn't expect that you were quite generous, and you were even taken advantage of." Dongfang Muxue got on the boat and said to him angrily.

Murong Fu started the boat, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "People say that once a woman gets married, she starts to save money for her husband. I can know Miss Muxue's thoughts with just a hundred taels. It's really true."

It’s so worth it.”

"You!" Dongfang Muxue was startled.

Yes, what does it have to do with her that the other person took advantage of her? Why should she be angry? Did she really fall in love with him?

The relationship between the two is relatively complicated. Although they got in the car first, their relationship was obviously not yet in place.

Dongfang Muxue fell silent for a moment.

He was so excited that he hummed a little song. Murong Fu ignored her and rowed his own boat slowly toward the northeast.

It's said to be slow, but that's only relative to the speed after he uses all his internal energy. In fact, it's not slow at all.

"Hey, there are schools of fish!"

Dongfang Muxue came back to her senses and leaned on the side of the boat with her chest. She stretched her white jade hands into the lake and touched the passing small fish. Although she didn't laugh out loud, the upturned corners of her mouth had completely revealed the meaning.

Her mood at the moment.

"I've never seen such an interesting scenery."

Murong Fu thought for a while, but suppressed these words and did not say them out, so as not to irritate this self-esteemed woman.

Seeing the other person showing a rare innocent smile, he remained silent and said nothing.

It must be very tiring to maintain pressure at all times on Blackwood Cliff and not be able to show your true feelings.

Then just relax.

"Hey, sister, please be gentle!" He said suddenly, stepping hard on the other side of the boat, "If you keep doing this, the boat will capsize."

It turns out that after Dongfang Muxue touched fish for a while, her childlike innocence became so great that she actually wanted to catch fish with her bare hands!

And it was without the use of martial arts. Looking at the way half of her body leaned out of the boat and clumsily caught the fish, you knew that no martial arts was used.

"I don't care, you're the only one asking if the boat capsizes!"

Dongfang Muxuejiao smiled and turned her head to glance at him, and continued to catch fish happily.

"Okay, I'm scared of you!"

Murong Fu pretended to be helpless and said that in front of this strong woman, he also knew how to show weakness occasionally to make her happy.

With the effort of turning a thousand-jin pendant on one foot, no matter how the woman tossed it, the boat remained stable.



After playing all the way, when it got dark, we docked and set up shop.

The boat was originally going to be abandoned by the river. Murong Fu tried it and found storage space, which made him overjoyed. It seemed that after becoming a master, the size and weight of things that could be stored increased. How much was added?

It has not been tested. I only know that in the past, this small boat would never be able to be taken in.

Just stop and go, sometimes by water and sometimes by land during the day. If you happen to run into a lively market, you have to walk through it and buy some things.
