Li Nianfan had heard the name 'Clear Moon Lake' more than once, especially when he was buying fish. The fish shop owner loved to mention the Clear Moon Lake. It was one of the more famous tourist attractions in the Fallen Town.
He had been there before and was shocked by the beauty of the Clear Moon Lake. However, he was single at that time. Although he wanted to go, he felt that there was no need to go boating. Now that he had a sudden impulse, he decided to bring Daji to the lake.
The two of them arrived at the Fallen Town and boarded a horse carriage. In less than two hours, a clear, mirror-like lake appeared in their field of vision. The sun shone on the surface of the lake, making it sparkle. From afar, it looked like a light show covering the ground. It was magnificent.
After a while, they started to travel.
The coachman said, "Young Master Li, we're almost there. If you're interested, you can come out and take a look. The lake breeze is very comfortable."
The coachman was a local of the Fallen Town. He was a bearded man and had a rough voice.
"Haha, alright!"
Li Nianfan laughed and brought Daji out of the horse carriage. They sat on the coachman's seat outside the horse carriage.
Suddenly, a humid wind blew from the direction of the Clear Moon Lake. It was like a slender hand caressing one's face. It was indescribably comfortable.
"It's indeed comfortable." Li Nianfan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
He looked around. Although he had been here before, he could not help but be amazed.
It was hard to imagine that nature could give birth to such a wonderful view.
Tall mountains stood on both sides of the Clear Moon Lake. It was surrounded by dense forests and many strange rocks. However, there were no rocks protruding from the surface of the Clear Moon Lake. It was as if they did not want to break the surface of the lake.
The calm surface of the lake formed a sharp contrast with the steep mountains on both sides. Under this contrast, one could feel the calmness and beauty of the Clear Moon Lake.
"The reason why the Fallen Town is so prosperous is because of the Clear Moon Lake. Many people who have nothing better to do would come here to take a look."
The coachman was clearly a frequent customer, so he was very familiar with the Clear Moon Lake. He pointed at a spot and said, "Young Master Li, look, that's the Furious Gorge Gate."
Looking up, the two shores converged, forming an extremely narrow terrain. Because the Clear Moon Lake originated from the sea in the east, its water flow was extremely large. Suddenly narrowing, it naturally formed an incomparably rapid current. It was indeed like a raging wave that surged out violently.
However, the most miraculous thing happened. When the Nu Wave crossed the Furious Gorge, it suddenly became peaceful and blended into the tranquility of the Clear Moon Lake without raising any waves.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but say, "From the looks of it, this lake should be very deep."
"Isn't that so? It's unfathomable!"
The coachman replied and reminded him, "Young Master Li, it's better to be careful when you swim in the lake. You're more delicate than those fishermen. If you accidentally fall into the water, you'll be in danger."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I know. Thanks for the reminder."
"Shhh —"
The coachman pulled the reins and the carriage came to a steady stop. "Young Master Li, the Clear Moon Lake is only a hundred meters away from here. The road ahead is not easy to travel, so I can only send you here."
"Alright, goodbye." Li Nianfan paid the bill and got off the carriage with Daji. They walked towards the Clear Moon Lake.
A large number of people had already gathered by the lake. Most of them were fishing or fishing. Many boatmen had deliberately docked their boats by the shore, waiting for people to board.
Looking at the surface of the lake in the distance, there were hundreds of boats competing with each other. On the golden surface of the lake, fishing boats floated slowly, forming a picture of a thousand sails.
Li Nianfan walked in front of an old man wearing a bamboo hat. He smiled and said, "Old man, do you want to rent this boat?"
"Rent? Young man, if you want to swim in the lake, I'll charge you two taels of silver for two people. If you want to go to the other side of the lake, I'll charge you another two taels, "said the old man.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Old man, we are indeed here to swim in the lake, but we want to rent a boat. We'll row it ourselves."
The old man was slightly taken aback. He could not help but ask, "You'll row it yourself? Do you know how to do it? "
Li Nianfan said humbly, "I've learned a little. It's not a big problem."
"Of course I'll agree to such a good deal. However, rowing a boat may look simple, but it's actually very difficult. Don't try to be brave." The old man did not forget to remind them.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry. How much is the deposit?"
The old man was stunned again. "Deposit? What's the deposit? "
Li Nianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's nothing."
He looked at the sky. It was getting late. If they had fun, they would probably have to spend the night on the boat. He paid the old man two days' worth of boat fare.
"Old man, let's go." Li Nianfan waved his hand and then shook the oars slightly. The boat floated steadily toward the center of the lake.
The old man was relieved. He immediately praised, "Oh, young man, you're amazing. Your father is also a boatman."
"Haha, no."
Gradually, the shore moved away at a speed visible to the naked eye. The people on the shore also became small black dots. There were fishing boats that passed by Li Nianfan from time to time. The people on the boats would almost all look at Li Nianfan curiously.
It was rare to see a young master rowing a boat himself. Moreover, it was obvious that he was an old boatman.
As for Daji, they did not dare to look at her. Often, they would just glance at her and then look away. She was too beautiful. They really did not dare to look.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, Li Nianfan put away the oars and let the boat drift with the waves.
"Little Daji, how is it?"
"I didn't expect young master to be so good at rowing a boat. Moreover, his movements are like moving clouds and flowing water. It's pleasing to the eye. He's calm and indifferent. Too amazing." Daji said almost without hesitation.
Li Nianfan's mouth twitched slightly. "I'm asking you how the scenery is?"
Daji said lightly, "The scenery is very beautiful."
Li Nianfan could not help but be stunned. He had originally wanted to recite a poem to show off, but he immediately swallowed it back down.
Sigh, little Daji was a little unromantic. She was a straightforward girl.
Li Nianfan walked into the canopy and said, "Come in and tidy up your things first."
He had specially chosen this black awning boat. The hull was not bad, and it was spacious enough. In the middle of the black awning, there was a square table. On both sides, there was enough space for one person to sit. It was just like a small room.
Daji asked, "Young master, are we really not going back tonight?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Most likely not. It's not early now. Moreover, it's rare to come out to the lake. It's not bad to enjoy the night view of the lake. Look, I even brought a lantern."
"Oh."
Daji was secretly delighted. She immediately helped Li Nianfan pack up. Because of the system space, it was very convenient to carry things. The basic necessities of clothing, food, and shelter were all available.
