The moon can't be seen in the night sky, but the twinkling stars are occasionally reflected on the endless waves of the river.
The river water around the boats boating along the shore with lanterns and prawn cages flickers. On the high ground, the lights on the pavilions are much brighter, but they can't shine into the river.
Mixed with the sound of wind and water, the sound of stringed and woodwind instruments and singing comes from afar.
At the bottom of the river, the terrain is not so complicated. On the shore where the waves are gentle, flower boats move slowly.
At the intersection of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, the city tower of Baling is brightly lit. Here, scholars drink wine and write poems to meet friends.
Women of all identities participate in the party. When they are slightly drunk, they sing along with the singers.
"The waves run, the waves flow, the thousands of miles of the river never stops …"
While people are enjoying themselves in a daze, a boat that seems to be made of lanterns appears on the river downstairs.
The ups and downs of the river can't stop the boat at all. Accompanying the arrival of the boat are very pleasant shouts and flying 'lanterns'.
"Attention, boats in front! The cruiser is on its way. Get out of the way. Don't move if you can't avoid it. The boats in front … "
The flying lanterns fly around the boat like fireflies. From time to time, some lanterns fall back to the boat, and some quickly fly out.
It gives people the feeling that the boat is a beehive with bees flying around.
"Like the river never stops, thousands of bends, thousands of beaches …"
In the song, the boat goes away as quickly as it came. The lanterns gather and scatter, changing with the boat.
The people upstairs are dumbfounded. What a beautiful boat.
"Whose boat is it? Can I borrow it? "Someone holding a wine bottle asks absent-mindedly.
"Wake up. Stop drinking. I just shouted. It's the cruiser of the Tang dynasty. It's the boat of the Li Family Zhuangzi in Baishui. "
"The boat in the river of the Tang dynasty is naturally the boat of the Tang dynasty. Can't the Li Family Zhuangzi borrow a boat? Who's in charge of Zhuangzi? "
"Take Brother Nian down to have a rest. Everyone else, continue! The waves run, the waves flow … "
The yacht is flying, faster than expected.
The drone above flew out first and shouted at the front. The news of the Tang dynasty's cruiser had already spread all over the Yellow River.
When the Yellow River was navigable, the boats entering Chang 'an could go to the Li Family Zhuangzi's side to look.
It is said that cruisers do not sail on water, but fly.
This time, he saw it for himself. He was really flying. Whoosh, whoosh.
There were fewer boats at night. The boats that were already close to the shore all moved closer to the shore. Those in the water had no time to hide, so they could only listen to orders and maintain their course.
The dazzling yacht shuttled between ships like a fish. Every time it passed by another ship, the people on the ship would cry out in surprise.
The sky gradually brightened, and many people got up early to work.
A small boat that was collecting prawn cages rowed along the shore. Next to it was a large boat, and the waves were pushed towards the shore.
A shrimp cage that had just been scooped up had its fixed object taken away. The waves came crashing over and the small boat swayed. The youth on the boat lost his balance and the shrimp cage fell when he tried to control his balance.
The waves came and went, and the prawn cages rolled into the river.
The youth reached out to grab the shrimp cage, but he did not manage to catch it. He quickly turned around and grabbed a pole. When the pole reached his hand, the shrimp cage was just out of reach of the pole.
The youth put down the pole and paddled. Another large boat passed by. The waves surged a few times, and the small boat swayed violently.
The youth was reluctant to give up the shrimp cage. He stubbornly steered the boat towards the middle of the river. He wanted to get it back.
"Buzz ~ ~" A special sound was heard.
"Attention to the boats in front! The cruiser is on its way. Get out of the way. If you can't avoid it, maintain your course and don't move … That small boat, don't move. "
The voice on the drone changed and pointed directly at the youth's boat.
The youth's boat was small, and it was already difficult to control. He was told not to move, and the small boat began to spin when the river rushed over.
He paddled left and right, trying to control the boat. When the paddle fell into the water, it was removed by the fluctuating river water before it could produce any reaction force.
The people on the other boats saw that the small boat seemed to have encountered an undercurrent and was moving in circles on the river surface like a leaf.
A large boat approached at high speed. The large boat adjusted its direction slightly. According to the situation, the large boat could avoid the small boat.
The youth was anxious and continued to paddle. He didn't know when he used more strength, but the small boat was pushed by the river water towards the large boat that had already adjusted its course.
The youth panicked and paddled blindly again.
The others couldn't bear it. It was over!
According to the speed of the large boat, the distance of tens of meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
The large boat that was moving forward at high speed seemed to slow down a little. Then the drone shouted, "Don't move, don't move!"
The large boat also said, "Left rudder three, front right paddle reverse, front left stop, back left start, back right stop. Right rudder five, front right forward, front left reverse, back left reverse, back right reverse. Left rudder two, back right forward, front left forward, front right forward. Left rudder two, back right forward, front left forward, front right forward. Goodbye!"
The large boat operated on the water surface and drifted past the youth's small boat.
"Oh ~ ~" The nervous crowd exclaimed. The youth's small boat was still shaking, but the large boat was already far away.
Immediately after, someone rowed a boat to pick up the youth. The youth stayed on the boat and drifted with the current, no longer thinking about the lost shrimp cage.
A drone flew over and threw a package on the small boat. "Don't worry about losing the shrimp cage! Come on! Young man! "
After leaving this sentence, the drone flew back to chase the yacht.
Two boats approached the youth's small boat. Two people directly jumped on and helped to paddle.
The youth was in a daze. His head was always facing upstream.
"Lu Xiaohu, it's okay. You saved your life." A man with a birthmark on his forehead said to the youth.
Another bald man said, "Our Tang dynasty's cruiser can still sail like this. I've learned something today."
"That boat is big and beautiful. It's good to be able to go up and take a look." The youth finally said.
"Don't think about it. Unless Li Dongzhu stops here to do something, then you can ask someone to take a look. He said it's fine to stop by the Ba River."
"Something that can fly. I'll send you a package. See what's inside."
"Oh!" The youth was still regretful. He responded and lowered his head to open the package.
After opening it, there was an exquisite piece of paper, an inkstone, a box of ink sticks, and a bundle of writing brushes.
In addition, there was a stack of currency coupons of different denominations and a box of ten pills sealed with wax paper.
"The four treasures of the study! I told you to go study. Don't live in Jiang Li. Keep the money. Don't tell anyone. We won't tell anyone either. "
The bald man took a look and told the youth.
"There's no need to be afraid. Who dares to steal Li Dongzhu's money?" The man with the birthmark had another theory.
"That's true. Now the state government will send someone to see Lu Xiaohu and ask about the situation. What medicine is this? "
The bald man agreed with the new theory and was curious about the medicine.
"Calming pill. It's for me." The youth looked at the words and said. He learned some pinyin from the students and learned to read from the newspaper.
