It's getting dark.
Wang Yuyan picked up the package she had packed in advance and left the courtyard quietly.
The entire Mantuo Villa was quiet.
Wang Yuyan was sneaking all the way, looking left and right, her footsteps were as light as silent, and when she stepped on a wooden branch, her heart almost rose to her throat.
When he arrived outside Langhuan Jade Cave, he was completely relieved.
Li Qingluo, who was observing Wang Yuyan in the dark, was speechless for a while.
It's really tiring to cooperate with this daughter in acting.
When the stone door opened, there was a sound, and Wang Yuyan felt nervous again.
When the stone door was completely opened, there was no movement at all. I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and patted my chest.
Li Xianyu had already packed the package and hung a knife on his waist. He stood in front of the exit of Langhuan Jade Cave and felt a little... greedy when he saw Wang Yuyan patting her chest.
"Let's go." Li Xianyu said, then stretched out his hand, took off the package Wang Yuyan was carrying, and put it on his shoulder.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Wang Yuyan did not refuse Li Xianyu's kindness.
The two of them walked down to the attic together with gentle steps.
"Where to go?" Li Xianyu asked.
"Gusu City is on the east side of Taihu Lake, let's go east." Wang Yuyan whispered, she had already planned the route in advance.
"Well, it's all up to you." Li Xianyu nodded.
The two walked slowly among the camellias. Li Xianyu's steps were calm and calm, as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden; Wang Yuyan looked sneaky, as if he was a thief with a guilty conscience.
When they arrived near the east bank, the two stopped and Wang Yuyan frowned.
There is a team of maidservants guarding the shore.
"What should we do now?" Li Xianyu asked, with a smile flashing in his eyes, thinking that Crescent Island is in the west, how could he go east?
Wang Yuyan hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "Do you still have the sad breeze?"
She remembered that Mr. Li collected some sad breeze from the small mill outside Wuxi city.
Li Xianyu raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded: "There is one more bottle, but Sadu Qingfeng is not just a drug. Unless they are all killed, they will still be able to scream even if they are poisoned.
I'm afraid my aunt will be alarmed by then. "
"That's true." Wang Yuyan's face fell a little, "Then what should we do?"
I was so focused on planning the route that I forgot about on-site inspections.
"Let's change the route." Li Xianyu muttered, "Mantuo Villa is not a small place and it is impossible to have guards everywhere."
"Oh well."
The plan was frustrated from the beginning, and Wang Yuyan had no idea.
The two retreated and circled along the shore.
Come to the west bank.
The shore is quiet and unattended, and there is also a small, slightly quaint fishing boat parked.
"There is no one here, and there is a boat." Wang Yuyan was delighted.
"It's true, it seems that God is helping Miss Wang." Li Xianyu chuckled.
Wang Yuyan's cheeks turned red and she whispered, "Let's go there quickly."
"good."
Li Xianyu nodded.
The two of them walked to the shore together.
After Wang Yuyan got on the boat, Li Xianyu pushed the bow of the boat and then jumped onto the fishing boat.
"Miss Wang, since you live in Mantuo Villa, you must know how to row a boat, right?" Li Xianyu asked.
Wang Yuyan blinked and lowered her head in shame.
She won't.
"Hey, without me, even if I give you a boat, you can't escape." Li Xianyu sighed.
While Wang Yuyan was embarrassed, she couldn't help but raise her head and said with a smile: "Master Li, you are so powerful, you must know how to row a boat, right?"
"Neither can I." Li Xianyu smiled.
Wang Yuyan was stunned.
"However, I can give it a try." Li Xianyu walked towards the stern of the boat with a smile on his face.
This is a small fishing boat without a cabin, with two wooden oars fixed to the boat at the stern.
Li Xianyu held a wooden oar in each hand and tried to paddle. After some fiddling, the small fishing boat started to move slowly.
Wang Yuyan's face showed joy and she was completely relieved.
The fishing boat turned around and started sailing slowly.
Wang Yuyan squatted in the boat, looking at the gradually shrinking Mantu Villa, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally escaped."
On Taihu Lake, the mist is vast, the slanting moon is reflected in the lake, and the water and sky are the same color, with sparkling waves.
"All the way west."
Li Xianyu determined the direction and paddled the oars.
After paddling for about half an hour.
Li Xianyu couldn't help but sigh.
He found that the imaginary night boat trip was not very beautiful or poetic.
Especially when a rowing song is needed.
"Master Li, why are you sighing?" Wang Yuyan asked curiously. After getting on the boat, she realized that she and Li Xianyu were the only ones around, and she felt embarrassed to talk to Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu said quietly: "Let's go to Xixia together. I'm afraid that I will not only be a boatman, but also a groom, a guard, and even a servant when we get ashore. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
"Oh." Wang Yuyan whispered, her cheeks turned red, and she didn't know how to answer.
"Especially, the beauty I escorted should find another man." Li Xianyu sighed.
Wang Yuyan lowered her head, her cheeks turned even redder, and she whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Li."
"If you really feel that you are troubling me, shouldn't you take the initiative to come over and help me row the boat now?" Li Xianyu said with a smile.
"Oh." Wang Yuyan stood up shyly and quickly walked towards the stern of the boat.
When she got close, she looked up at Li Xianyu and whispered, "I'll paddle."
"No need." Li Xianyu said.
Wang Yuyan blinked and thought to herself, "If you don't need me to paddle, then what did you want me to do just now?"
"The night is too dark to see you clearly." Li Xianyu said leisurely, "It's just right for you to stand here."
Wang Yuyan: "..."
"Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more immoral."
Wang Yuyan lowered her head and muttered.
She understood Mr. Li's thoughts in front of her, but she didn't dare to respond, let alone expose him.
"That's because you underestimated your beauty in every song." Li Xianyu said, humming softly, "Clear water brings out hibiscus, and nature removes the carvings.
When the moon sees you, it will shy away. "
Wang Yuyan felt her cheeks on both sides were getting hot, and her heart was pounding even more.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are exaggerating." Wang Yuyan whispered, looking extremely coy, as if she was happy but also ashamed.
Li Xianyu smiled and said nothing more.
Next…
Before going ashore, there is one more important event.
The fishing boat passed through a reed forest, and under the moonlight, the outline of an island appeared in front of it.
Like a crescent moon.
"Where is that in front?" Li Xianyu asked proactively.
Wang Yuyan was startled, and quickly turned around, saw Crescent Island, and said hesitantly: "I think I heard Abi say before that there is an island in the shape of a crescent deep in Taihu Lake, called Crescent Island."
"Really?" Li Xianyu said calmly, "It seems that this island is Crescent Island. What did Abi tell you about Crescent Island?"
"I didn't say anything." Wang Yuyan thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is a swarm of poisonous bees on this island, which can sting people very painfully."
"Then we have to be careful." Li Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Yuyan didn't know that this Crescent Island belonged to Mantuo Villa.
After rowing for a while, he visually estimated the distance between the fishing boat and Crescent Island... Li Xianyu exerted a slight force on his right foot, and a 'clicking sound' suddenly sounded from the bow of the boat.
Wang Yuyan heard the sound and glanced at the bow of the ship.
When he saw it, he was immediately startled.
The bow of the boat actually cracked, and the lake water gurgled up.
"No, this boat is too old." Li Xianyu said solemnly, "No wonder it was abandoned on the west coast."
As he spoke, he rowed the oar vigorously.
The fishing boat is sinking.
"What should I do?" Wang Yuyan was so nervous that water from Taihu Lake was already soaking up under her feet.
Li Xianyu raised his head and looked at Crescent Island in front of him, and calmly analyzed: "It's not serious. We should be able to swim across this distance."
"Swim over?" Wang Yuyan was startled, and her face fell, "I can't swim."
As the eldest lady of Mantuo Villa, she would definitely not be able to get into the water whenever she wanted like A'Zhu and A Bi.
"I knew you couldn't." Li Xianyu secretly said.
In fact, he never learned to swim in this life.
But in his previous life, he could swim.
As for swimming, once you learn it, you will never forget it and you will never be able to throw it away.
