The wind blew and the lake surface rippled.
The reeds in March are green, and they complement the green lake, creating a feeling of spring.
Just as Zhou You and others said, the scenery of Feiyan Lake is really good.
So, everyone got off the boat and began to enjoy the scenery along the lake.
After playing for a while, it was approaching noon.
Everyone felt a little tired, so they found a good place to watch the scenery and sit down to rest.
Zhou You then looked at Lin Ju'an: "Brother Lin, doesn't he have a slingshot skill? Why not take this opportunity to show it off again?"
Lin Ju'an naturally replied happily: "Okay, everyone, please sit here. I'm going to hunt some birds for us to roast and eat together."
Naturally, there were people accompanying him.
The two people left.
Then, someone else said, "Then I'll go pick up some firewood."
Two more people went to collect firewood together.
The others stayed where they were and started digging a stove on the ground.
Li Suijiu thought to himself, the world is still good.
If it was the previous world, hunting birds?
That is very punishing!
"Meow~"
The black cat found a haystack and lay down.
Li Suijiu also lay down to rest, closing his eyes slightly and basking in the warm sun.
…
time flies.
In about two-quarters of an hour, Lin Ju'an harvested eight birds.
In terms of slingshot skills, he is indeed very good. Basically, he is accurate every time, which attracts constant praise from his fellow travelers: "Brother Lin is so skilled!"
"Haha, it's just a small trick. I'll shoot six more... no, seven! This way everyone will have birds to share."
"Why seven? Aren't there only fourteen of us?"
"Did you forget that Huaijin brought a cat with him?"
"I see, Brother Lin has thought carefully!"
"Let's go a little further."
The two walked forward for a while and soon harvested four more.
So there are twelve in total.
Lin Ju'an looked at the time and thought that everyone should be almost ready, so he said: "Let's go back. We will shoot three more on the way back and that will be enough."
"good!"
The fellow travelers nodded.
With the full harvest, the two of them felt a little more relaxed.
Just walking back while talking about yesterday's events.
Naturally, we talked about the scroll I bought yesterday.
A fellow traveler asked: "Brother Lin bought that scroll for ten taels of silver. I wonder what is painted on it?"
Lin Ju'an just shook his head: "I chatted a little late with Brother Zhou and others yesterday, but I forgot to look at it. Is there anything special about a painting sold by a child?"
"I'm a little curious, does Brother Lin have the painting with him?"
"I happen to have one."
"Why don't you take it out and watch it."
"good."
Lin Ju'an nodded, took out the scroll from his arms and unfolded it.
At first glance, both of them's eyes lit up, because the scroll was actually very well drawn, and the girls on it were all lifelike, and their clothes were not covering their bodies.
"I didn't expect it to be such a scroll?"
"Hahaha!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing expressions that all men would understand.
Then, they got together and watched carefully.
"Brother Lin, which woman in this painting does you think is the most beautiful?"
"Of course it's the one in the red dress."
"But I think it is a green skirt. This green skirt is petite and cute, and there are two small dimples on the face, which is very beautiful."
"Well, the one in the green skirt is not bad, but the one in the red skirt is more voluptuous. I like voluptuous ones. Such women are the best."
"Brother Lin, do you feel that... the woman in this painting seems to be smiling at us?"
"What you said is true."
"Wait a minute, Brother Lin, why do I feel like the woman in this painting is moving!"
"!!!"
…
The shore of Feiyan Lake.
The two people who went out to collect firewood had already returned.
However, Lin Ju'an and his wife, who went to hunt birds, never returned.
And time has passed half an hour.
"Why has Brother Lin been gone for so long?"
"I'm afraid it's too far away. This bird is not easy to fight."
"Yesterday I saw that Brother Lin has extraordinary skills. He should be able to catch birds soon?"
"There are fourteen of us here... we have to fight more."
"Yes, then just wait a little longer."
So, everyone waited for another half an hour.
Only then did I finally feel that something was not right, because no matter how far I went, I couldn't come back within an hour.
"That's not right. Brother Lin is always attentive. He knows that we are going to Taihua Mountain for fun in the afternoon. Even if we don't catch enough birds, he will probably come back."
"Is it possible that I got lost? There are reeds all over the road. It's normal to get lost."
"It's possible, then let's go look for it."
"Okay, but don't go looking for it alone. Don't split up in a team of two. We will meet here again in two quarters of an hour."
"Can."
"Huaijin and I will stay here and wait. If Lin Ju'an comes back, we won't be unable to see anyone." Zhou You said, looking at Li Suijiu.
"That's fine."
Li Suijiu nodded.
Always leave someone waiting where they are.
After all, he wasn't too familiar with the others, so it was best for Zhou You to stay where he was.
Then, the other ten people were divided into five teams and all scattered to search.
…
Two quarters of an hour later.
The first team came back and only said: I didn't see it. I don't know where they went?
Not long after, another team came back and said the same thing: they didn't see Brother Lin, probably because they were heading in a different direction.
Then, the third team and the fourth team came back together, also shaking their heads.
It seems that it was not found either.
So, everyone waited for the fifth team to come back.
Waited for another quarter of an hour.
But it was discovered that the fifth team had not returned yet.
"What's going on? Where did Brother Tang and Brother Lu go?"
"I don't know. We searched separately. I don't know where Brother Tang and Brother Lu went to search."
"What to do?"
"Will there be any accident?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.
But it's daytime now. According to common sense, there shouldn't be any surprises, right?
"I think this is a bit weird. Although it is daytime, this is the shore of the lake after all. I have heard that if there are water ghosts in the lake, they will also appear during the day."
"Yeah, I've heard of it too!"
"Brother Zhou knows a lot about ghosts. Do you know anything about this water ghost in the lake?" Everyone looked at Zhou You.
Zhou You pondered for a while: "I do know something. The water ghost in the lake usually does not appear during the day, but if you go swimming in the lake, it is possible to bump into it!"
"Brother Lin, you won't go swimming in the lake at this time of year, right?"
"Well, I don't think so either." Zhou You nodded, and then said, "Then let's go search again and look for the location we haven't searched just now."
"If we continue to search, what should we do if someone gets lost again?" Someone asked a question.
"This..." Zhou You was also a little undecided.
After all, four have been lost.
If you lose it again...
I really don’t know when we will find it.
Li Suijiu's brows wrinkled slightly, this was obviously abnormal.
But Qian'er did say that you usually won't run into ghosts during the day, so she said, "Why don't we go look for it together? Even if there is a water ghost doing evil, there are still ten of us, so naturally we won't be afraid. If it weren't for The water ghost is doing evil, but the bandits are robbing, so we can just deal with the bandits and rescue Brother Lin and others."
"Huai Jin's words make sense!"
"Okay, then just do as Huaijin says and let's go find it together!"
