Chapter 89 Starfall Lake

In several places, early orioles compete for warmth in the trees, while new swallows peck at the spring mud.

When Chen Tianfeng and the others arrived at Xingluo Lake, green buds had sprouted on the branches beside the road. From a distance, they looked like a hazy green. Only when they got closer could they notice the tenderness of the buds.

The three of them walked around the lake and found a boat mooring.

The Wupeng boat can only seat three or five people at most. If you want to lie down, only one room is spacious, but the two of you will feel cramped.

"Boatman, what's the price for renting a boat?" Chen Tianfeng stepped forward and asked the boatman.

The boatman was a middle-aged man. When he heard this, he raised his head happily and glanced at Chen Tianfeng and the children behind him: "What's the renting method for a guest?"

"What are the rental laws?"

"One is that I will rock the boat, and the guest can just sit back, and the price is calculated by the hour; the other is that the guest rows the boat by himself, either for the day or the time, it all depends on the guest's preference. If the guest just wants to go to the lake For small and medium-sized islands, prices are also available on a per-person basis. The scenery on the island is very good, and there are also hotels for rest.”

Chen Tianfeng looked across the lake at the small island in the middle of the lake. The most eye-catching thing was the statue of the Seven Heavens God standing in the center of the island: "After landing on the island, can I pray under the statue?"

"sure."

"No tickets?"

"Who dares to charge admission fees!" The boatman immediately stared: "Besides, even the West Wind Church is not qualified to set up railings around the statue to collect entrance fees! The wind is free!"

"The boatman is right."

Chen Tianfeng agreed and looked back at Ying: "Ying, can you row a boat?"

Yingzheng looked at the Seven Heavens Statue curiously, and nodded confidently when he heard this: "My paddling skills are very good!"

Okay, just think you are talking about rowing... Chen Tianfeng turned back and asked: "How much is a full day package?"

"Two thousand molas." The boatman stretched out two fingers with a smile on his face.

Chen Tianfeng paused when he took out the money and frowned slightly: "It's a bit expensive."

"Customers also know that Mondstadt is not peaceful recently, and it is normal for prices to rise."

"It's not peaceful? Can the boatman tell you in detail?"

"How many...?"

"We are travelers in a foreign country, new to Mondstadt."

"Oh, no wonder." The boatman nodded, took out his pipe and was about to light it, when he saw Paimon's small one, smacking his lips, sniffing the pipe and putting it back: "Half a month ago, a pipe came out of nowhere. A giant dragon appeared and caused a storm around Mondstadt, making everyone's life uneasy. "

"Dragon?"

Paimon scratched his hair and wondered: "What kind of dragon is it?"

"It is said to be blue, with eyes as big as millstones and white claws. It can eat three or four forest pigs with one mouth!" The boatman said: "Everyone calls it the Wind Demon Dragon, saying that although it can control the power of the wind, But it is the enemy of the wind.”

"Sounds so scary!" Paimon thought about the size of the forest pig, and quickly came to the conclusion that "the Wind Demon Dragon can eat twelve Paimon in one bite", and he immediately exclaimed.

"Who says it's not the case? Alas, there are fewer people visiting Xingluo Lake these days." The boatman sighed, then thought of something, and quickly added: "But sir, don't worry, there is a statue of the God of Wind in Xingluo Lake. The Wind Demon Dragon doesn’t dare to come here, it’s very safe.”

Chen Tianfeng glanced at him, silently put away the idea of ​​asking for a discount on the grounds of danger, and instead asked: "When returning the boat, do I have to row it back here?"

"No, no, sir, please look for this sign. There is one on the lake and on the island. Just tell the person guarding the sign when the time comes." The boatman waved his hand and pointed to the wooden sign stuck on the ground beside him. He explained with a smile: "I will issue you a voucher, which will record the start time of your boat rental."

Chen Tianfeng looked at the wooden sign and saw the words "Xingluo Lake Dandelion Boat Club" written on it. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's not easy for boat owners... Is the competition fierce?"

"Fortunately, okay, everyone sticks together and the competition is not fierce."

The boatman said happily, "Speaking of which, we first got together because there was a little girl in the Knights who liked to come to Xingluo Lake to fry fish. It is said that she was a knight with a title. Although this little girl has never injured anyone, But always bombing fish will also affect business, so it is not an option.”

"But she is from the Knights. If three or two people try to persuade her, it will probably have no effect. So we thought of a way. We all got together and selected someone who everyone believed in to come forward and organize a boat party. Name, go and discuss with the Knights if you can let that little girl fry fish somewhere else."

"and after?"

Chen Tianfeng found it interesting and guessed who the little girl the boatman was talking about was.

[Spark Knight] Keli, a very cute little girl, is deeply loved by everyone in the Knights.

"Later, the little girl came to apologize with a gift. She looked so well-behaved and pitiful. We couldn't stand it. So we dug a big pond for her next to Xingluo Lake and threw a dozen fish in it. She blew up, she was a good kid, she was just having a little fun, it was no big deal.”

The boatman shook his head with a smile and said: "Speaking of which, we also taught that girl to fish and fried fish with her. She is indeed a member of the Knights. Such a small bomb is thrown into the water and explodes! The water splash can be two to three meters high!"

"The boatman is kind-hearted." Chen Tianfeng praised.

"Well, I just feel that a good, obedient and sensible boy like this should be treated kindly." The boatman's face was full of a kind smile, and then he waved his hand: "No more chatting, how many days do you plan to rent?"

"I wonder how long it takes to take a boat from here to the island in the middle of the lake?"

"...If the guest officer is skilled and does not stop on the way, one hour will be enough."

"Then two hours."

"..."

The boatman's expression suddenly became interesting. He raised his hand and pointed at Chen Tianfeng. Finally, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Sir, you are really thrifty!"

"Thank you." Chen Tianfeng accepted it calmly without changing his expression.

Ying laughed softly, while Paimeng looked at Chen Tianfeng in amazement.

"Three hundred Moras."

The boatman shook his head, muttered something after quoting the price, and stretched out his hand: "The boats are all here, sir, pick one, they are all good boats."

Chen Tianfeng paid the money and gave Ying a look.

So Ying stepped forward, rubbed his chin, and carefully picked a small boat with a string of wind chimes hanging on the black sail.

The three of them got on the boat. Chen Tianfeng and Ying each held an oar and paddled on the water, creating waves. The small black sail boat swung out and slowly moved towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Paimeng lay on the side of the boat, watching the wide wooden oars swinging in the water, creating one small whirlpool after another that slowly moved away from the hull and dissipated.

Occasionally, a fish would approach, quietly float to the surface, reveal its body, and then seem to be startled by the waves, and dive down with its tail swung, and never be seen again.

"I always feel like something is missing."

The boat slowly reached the center of the lake, Ying put away the oars, supported her chin with her palms, frowned slightly, and then suddenly spread out: "Oh, there is no singing!"

How can there be no corresponding singing when boating on the lake!

Chen Tianfeng agreed deeply, and after a brief thought, he put away the oars and took out his suona from the Eye of God.

Then the melodious sound of suona rang out on the calm lake.

"Huh?"

The girl looked at Chen Tianfeng playing the suona, with a wonderful expression, and was hesitant to speak.

No matter how you think about it, this scene doesn't match the suona very well!

Suddenly, the wind blew, and the lake surface was rippling with waves. The small black-sailed boat swayed slightly, and under the push of the perfect wind and waves, it floated towards the island in the center of the lake.
