AWB Chapter 339 Little Fish
Chapter 339 Little Fish
Gu Fengyue planned to stay in Linyuan City for two days. That night, King Linyuan prepared two adjacent rooms for them. However, he himself did not expect that these two people would be so bold as to sleep in the same bed before they were even married.
However, this "sleep" simply means sleeping, not a verb.
At night, Gu Fengyue went to bed after washing up, but Song Chunlin did not sleep. Instead, he released his mental power, covering the entire Linyuan Palace, and even separated out a few strands to wander around Linyuan City.
The last time he came here, Song Chunlin saw the strange sky lake on the top of the mountain. This time, a bit of his mental power also came here.
Tianchi was quiet at night, with only soldiers patrolling back and forth on the mountain road. Song Chunlin looked at the tranquil lake and once again marveled at the magic of nature.
"Where does such a large lake come from?" Song Chunlin didn't understand. From the sky, the mountains here looked like a huge bucket with water inside. But it was impossible that all the water inside came from rain from the sky. There must be a source.
Last time I forgot to ask King Linyuan where the water came from. I will ask him tomorrow if I can go to the entrance of Tianchi to take a look.
"Go to Tianchi?" King Linyuan didn't expect that this boy actually wanted to go to Tianchi. Is that a place for fun? So he immediately showed a look of disapproval.
"There's nothing fun over there at Tianchi. It's just a platform for getting water. Other places are very dangerous. Even people who can swim don't dare to go down easily. Do you really want to go there, Young Master Song?"
Song Chunlin rolled his eyes around for a few times, then said firmly: "Go, I'll just stand aside and take a look, just a glance, okay?"
Gu Fengyue and King Linyuan didn’t quite understand. What was so good about the lake? It was surrounded by cliffs and no grass at all. What was there to see?
Even though both of them thought that place was not fun, Song Chunlin still insisted on taking a look. Gu Fengyue had official duties and could not get away, so King Linyuan naturally had no time either. Not only did he have to deal with official duties, he also had to work part-time as a nanny to take care of the baby.
When Song Chunlin heard that King Linyuan was actually taking care of the baby himself, he couldn't help but look shocked.
When King Linyuan saw his look, he immediately got angry: "What kind of look is that? Can't this handsome prince take care of a baby?"
"I guess so." As long as you are happy.
King Linyuan originally wanted to ask someone to take Song Chunlin there, but Song Chunlin refused. Instead, he asked King Linyuan for a badge, which was a badge of King Linyuan's palace. With this badge, he could go straight to the top of the mountain unimpeded. After getting the badge, Song Chunlin happily went out.
King Linyuan looked at Gu Fengyue, who was still calm, pointed at Song Chunlin who had already run away, and said to Gu Fengyue: "You are so confident that you can let him go out alone, and go to Tianchi. I think you are a little too careless."
Gu Fengyue: "Why shouldn't I feel uneasy? Chunlin has killed three or four times as many barbarians as I have on the battlefield. I am more worried about those who are foolish enough to provoke him."
King Linyuan was dumbfounded: "Ah, are you serious? Did that guy really kill barbarians on the battlefield? I thought you were just kidding. How could such a young man be a sharpshooter?"
For the first time, Gu Fengyue realized that not everyone believed that Song Chunlin's reputation as a sharpshooter was earned through his own fighting. If it weren't for the skills Song Chunlin showed at the palace banquet, those powerful officials would have thought that the things he reported were all nonsense.
Yes, how could a young man who looked not even as tall as Gu Fengyue's shoulders have the qualifications to take someone's head on the battlefield? Maybe his legs went weak the moment he saw the barbarian.
"On the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. Even a woman can wield a sword and kill the enemy. King Linyuan has lived in the border for a long time, so he should understand this principle better than me."
After Gu Fengyue finished speaking, he left, leaving King Linyuan sitting alone in the hall, deep in thought.
It was not until Gu Fengyue left the palace that the depressed mood in his heart eased a little. He took a deep breath and turned to look at the towering mountain.
The mountain is steep, and no one can see the lake hidden inside from the outside. Such a magnificent lake, unless someone climbs to the top of the mountain, there is no way to see its true appearance.
The prejudice in people's hearts is like the mountain in front of us. It blocks the view and also creates many obstacles for those with prejudice. Those obstacles are like the chasms in the world, which are difficult to cross.
Gu Fengyue adjusted his mood before walking towards the government office, intending to finish his work here as soon as possible so that he could leave early the next morning.
Unlike Gu Fengyue's heavy mood, Song Chunlin was like a bird released from a cage, happily running towards the foot of Tianchi Mountain. He had already chosen the route, and as soon as he stepped out of the city gate, he strode forward. When he was tired, he drank a sip of water to replenish his strength.
Linyuan City is built at the foot of Tianchi Mountain, so the city gate is not too far from the foot of the mountain, but climbing the mountain is quite physically demanding. When Song Chunlin climbed halfway up the mountain, he began to miss the very convenient cable cars and escalators in modern society. It would be great if an escalator could be built here so that he could stand all the way up and he wouldn't have to be exhausted.
"Huh, it's still quite far away. Why should I be so desperate as to come and see Tianchi?" Song Chunlin reflected on himself for the umpteenth time, wondering why he made such an impulsive decision.
The road up the mountain was actually quite flat, after all, a horse-drawn carriage had to be used to fetch water. But it was really far, and when Song Chunlin was two-thirds of the way there, he had already figured out how to take a shortcut.
He looked at the pedestrians carrying luggage, observed the routes they took, and finally found a shortcut for him.
The shortcut was a small path that went through the middle. Perhaps because there were too many people walking on it, a small path was forcibly created. Song Chunlin followed those who were fetching water and went straight through the small path. Sure enough, the journey was much faster than the original one. He was so angry that he wanted to slap his thigh and scold himself. Why didn't he think of this good idea earlier?
Walking up the path, Song Chunlin finally reached the top of the mountain as scheduled, and then showed his badge to the soldiers. The soldiers felt that Song Chunlin was very unfamiliar, but he had a badge from the Linyuan Palace, which could not be faked. After looking at him several times, they finally let Song Chunlin in.
Song Chunlin had already taken in the whole scene inside from the door. To be honest, there was nothing interesting about this place. It was just a flat ground, and the government sent people to build a row of boards on the ground. There was a hole in the middle of the boards, which was used to draw water directly. The outside was surrounded by railings to prevent people from falling in. This area was not large, and the remaining side close to the cliff had three or four small houses, which should be reserved for the soldiers on night watch to spend the night.
There are actually many small houses like this along the way. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a heavily guarded fortress. Although it is simple, it can be seen that it is indeed very important.
Song Chunlin stood on the wooden board. He leaned against the railing and looked at the opposite side. It was not very clear because it was too far away. Using his mental power, he saw that there was nothing around except water. The hillside was bare with only stones, and not even a piece of dogtail grass grew.
But the lake water is still very clear, and you can see the small fish swimming in it. Song Chunlin has never seen this kind of fish, so he doesn't know whether it tastes good or not. But with such good water quality, the fish raised in it must be very delicious.
Song Chunlin stared at the fish swimming in the water, and various ways of eating the small fish popped up in his mind, fried with salt, boiled in water, and deep-fried. Deep-fried fish should be good. Such small fish should be fried until crispy and sprinkled with some barbecue seasoning. It must be delicious.
"Hey, little brother, don't be in a daze anymore. Be careful if you fall in. We can't get you out."
Just as Song Chunlin was drooling at the lake, a soldier who had been staring at him came up to remind him that this young man holding the badge of Linyuan Palace was not from an ordinary family just by looking at the material of his clothes. If anything happened to him, they would be in trouble. Therefore, he had been keeping an eye on him since Song Chunlin came in. Seeing that he was leaning against the railing in a daze, he couldn't help but come over to remind him.
Song Chunlin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, put on a normal expression, and responded: "Oh, okay, I'll just take a look, it won't fall."
The soldier laughed when he heard this, thinking that the boy must be too well protected by his family, otherwise how could he feel that Tianchi was safe?
If you ask him, this Tianchi is the most dangerous place in Linyuan City. Over the years, no one who fell into it has been pulled out alive. They have to wait until the person stops struggling before taking a boat to salvage him. Usually, the person is already dead by then. The water is salvaged just to keep the water of Tianchi clean, to prevent the corpse from rotting after being soaked for too long and polluting the water. This is the life-saving water for people in several surrounding cities. Who would want to drink water that has soaked a corpse?
Seeing that the soldier did not leave after his reminder, Song Chunlin obediently moved back a few steps. When he saw that the soldier had retreated to a safe area, the soldier returned to his original position, but he kept staring at Song Chunlin with a burning gaze.
It was the first time that Song Chunlin saw such a magical terrain, and he couldn't help but want to take pictures. He looked at the soldiers and thought about the possibility of hypnotizing them with his mental power. However, after seeing the people coming up to fetch water in an endless stream, he gave up the idea.
There are too many people here. It is true that he has a lot of mental power, but he is not interested in tampering with the memories of these people one by one. After thinking it over, he finally decided to take a few photos secretly. He will have the chance to come here in the future. Then he will take a video with Gu Fengyue and save it in their mobile phones. They can watch it anytime they want.
Thinking of this, Song Chunlin took out the mobile phone in the space, and relying on the fact that these ancients could not understand what a mobile phone was, he actually held up the phone and started taking selfies in front of those people. Not only did he take selfies, he also recorded a video. Because the phone was facing away from those people, these people could only see him holding a strange black sign and dancing towards the sign, which looked particularly weird and crazy.
The soldier who had been staring at Song Chunlin had a confused look on his face. He didn't understand what this guy was trying to do. Was that badge something extraordinary? Like a gold medal for immunity from death, or something like that? Otherwise, how could he explain this guy's strange behavior?
Song Chunlin didn't know what the other party was thinking, but judging from their expressions, it was definitely not a good thing. Maybe they thought he was a psychopath.
But, who cares? They wouldn't understand anyway. After taking the video and photos, Song Chunlin put away his phone and planned to go back and copy them. It would be best to make an album for Gu Fengyue. He could take it out and look at it whenever he missed him in the future. How convenient.
At first, he thought of leaving a mobile phone for Gu Fengyue. The mobile phone could not be used for communication, but it could be used to open the downloaded videos and pictures. However, thinking that the mobile phone would have to be charged after it ran out of power, Song Chunlin gave up the idea.
He still had solar panels in his space, but if he installed it in Bai Ta City, there would be too many things to explain. If he installed it in the grape manor, he wouldn't live there all year round, and Gu Fengyue wouldn't be able to go there often. The Fang family members didn't know how to operate this thing, so he had to give up in the end.
Since he couldn't keep electronic devices like mobile phones, Song Chunlin set his eyes on the printer in the space. He had pulled this thing out from a pile of express deliveries. Song Chunlin hadn't figured out how to use it yet, but when he saw that there were a lot of photo printing papers in the box, he thought he could print some photos, so he thought of making an album for Gu Fengyue.
During their journey, whenever there was no one around, Song Chunlin would take out his cell phone and take photos and videos of himself and Gu Fengyue. At night, when Gu Fengyue went to bed, Song Chunlin would hide in the quilt and look through the photos and videos taken during the day. He would select some of his favorites and put them in a special folder. When they arrived in Baita City, he would be able to print out these photos.
He did not tell Gu Fengyue about this matter, intending to leave it for him as a surprise. Gu Fengyue also thought that Song Chunlin was simply recording their daily lives. He did not know that the image on this small piece of iron could actually be transferred to paper.
After taking today's photos, Song Chunlin's eyes fell on the small fish in the water again. He had never tasted these fish and didn't know if they were edible, so he ran to ask the soldiers guarding here. The soldiers were a little surprised when they heard him say that he wanted to eat those fish.
"There are a lot of fish in this lake, and they are also sold in the restaurants and taverns at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to eat fresh ones, young master? Then we will get some in a basket and bring them up for you later."
Hearing that the fish were sold at the foot of the mountain, Song Chunlin specifically asked about it. The soldier enthusiastically introduced him to several restaurants. All of them were very skilled in making these small fish. Each restaurant had its own exclusive secret recipe, and the prices were very affordable.
