Chapter 392 Jade Ink Painting
As dusk approached, a biting autumn wind swept across the river, creating waves that caused the pleasure boats to bob up and down.
There was nothing wrong when he first boarded the ship, but not long after the ship started sailing, Guan Ziheng began to feel seasick. Before he had even put his luggage away, he rushed out to the slop bucket to vomit, feeling like his intestines were about to come out.
Many others also experienced seasickness.
The owner of this pleasure boat is truly considerate; he placed many slop buckets at the corners of the boat and even provided water for rinsing the mouth, deliberately separating it from the rest area.
Although it was a large dormitory-style dormitory, each small room was separated by curtains, and the sheets and blankets were kept very tidy.
It provides both privacy and increases the stability of the ship.
Before boarding the ship, Lam Lok-chi saw that there were many fun things on the three floors of the cruise ship and had always wanted to go to the top floor to see the world.
Lin Lezhi gently patted Guan Ziheng's back, easing his discomfort while simultaneously trying to suppress her curiosity, urging, "Once you've vomited from seasickness, your body will adjust to the ship's rhythm. When you feel better, let's go to the top floor together and take a look around. The surrounding area is full of mountains and water; the scenery must be exceptionally beautiful, with a unique charm that will surely lift your spirits. Seeing it might even help you overcome seasickness."
How could Guan Ziheng not understand Lin Lezhi's little scheme?
With his face still buried in the bucket, he took out a small bag of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Lezhi's hand. His voice was weak and hoarse, and because it was buried in the bucket, his voice was somewhat distorted, with a slight muffled sound.
"Go have fun by yourself, I'm feeling really unwell. When you come back, you can stop by on your way..."
Halfway through his sentence, Guan Ziheng grabbed the edge of the bucket and started vomiting violently.
Seeing Guan Ziheng in such distress, Lin Lezhi felt guilty for leaving him unattended and going out to play. He gently patted Guan Ziheng's back and said with concern in his eyes, "You're in so much pain, I'll stay and keep you company."
By this time, Guan Ziheng had emptied almost everything out of his stomach, and there was nothing left to vomit.
He rinsed his mouth with the water that the boatman had prepared earlier, then took the handkerchief Lin Lezhi handed him and wiped the corner of his mouth.
He calmed his breathing slowly before speaking, "Go ahead, I'm so full, you can buy some food while you're at it. I'm not going anywhere, I'm too exhausted. Come back when you've had your fun, I'll be waiting for you inside."
Unable to resist the urge, Lin Lezhi said, "Okay, then I'll take you back to your room first, and I'll go out once you're more comfortable."
After escorting Guan Ziheng back to his room, tidying up his sheets and blankets, and watching him lie down, they left the cabin.
As soon as I went out.
A gust of wind blew in from outside the boat, making him shiver.
Even though it was cold, his curiosity couldn't be suppressed. Lin Lezhi went up the stairs to the top floor in one go. When he reached the middle floor, he deliberately slowed down and glanced at the room with two guards with swords standing at the door.
Both guys looked serious, as if they were unapproachable.
More than who the room's occupants were, Lin Lezhi was curious whether these two guys were cold.
but.
Those who practice martial arts may have a different sensitivity to the outside world than ordinary people.
Seeing that the two of them were constantly watching their surroundings and standing perfectly straight, Lin Lezhi felt even colder. Before they could look at her, Lin Lezhi crossed her arms, quickly rubbed them together a few times, and hurried up to the top floor.
Upon reaching the top floor, Lin Lezhi's eyes widened in amazement, sparkling with excitement.
Not only is there a viewing platform on the top, but benches connected to the pavilion are also built around it for travelers to rest.
There are numerous stalls in the center of the pavilion, offering everything from food and drinks to entertainment.
There were people everywhere on the long pavilion.
As darkness fell, lights were lit around the pavilion and at the various stalls, creating a warm and lively atmosphere that made it feel less cold.
This was no ordinary pleasure boat; it was practically a small gathering, leaving Lin Lezhi overwhelmed with choices and unsure where to begin.
Such a lively scene, coupled with the antique ship-shaped architecture, and the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains under the afterglow of the setting sun, is truly breathtaking.
I really wish Guan Ziheng could have come along too.
It's fun as it is.
Playing alone always takes away some of the fun.
As Lin Lezhi walked, her gaze wandered among the many stalls.
The vendors selling sugar paintings, lanterns, calligraphy and paintings, and storybooks all made Lin Lezhi's face flush when she saw her own book among them.
Noticing Lin Lezhi's gaze, the vendor immediately became perceptive and enthusiastically greeted him, "Young master, why don't you buy a book? This is the hottest novel right now, written by Wuyouke. I heard it's related to the disappearance of Huaifeng Village. Buying this book will definitely be a great deal!"
"Thank you, no thanks."
Lian Ji looked away and quickly walked past the stall.
The vendor, not wanting to miss the opportunity to sell, shouted, "Hey, young master! I heard from the bottom of the air that he's stopped writing. If the bookstore stops printing them, these will be out-of-print books! Trust me, even if you buy them and never read them, they'll definitely hold their value!"
Despite missing out on this customer, the vendor didn't lose heart. He immediately moved on to the next potential customer, beaming and enthusiastically using the same sales pitch: "Young master, why don't you buy a book? This is the hottest novel right now..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lezhi quickened her pace and fled into the crowd. The noise and commotion drowned out her shame, which lessened considerably.
Lin Lezhi wandered aimlessly around, wondering if it was because these things that were usually on land had been moved to the ship, because everything seemed new and interesting.
When he first came into this world, he thought that these things could be brought to the modern era, they must be real antiques.
It's worth a fortune.
Reaching the pinnacle of life is just a matter of minutes.
Even though I know it's unlikely, just imagining the scene is still exciting.
Sudden.
His gaze was drawn to a stall selling trinkets. The stall was filled with all sorts of small items, mostly carved objects, only slightly larger than quail eggs. Some were wood carvings, others jade carvings, all incredibly lifelike.
After a quick glance, a jade pendant caught Lin Lezhi's eye. She seemed frozen in place, her eyes rippled, and her gaze flickered in the lamplight.
It was a jade pendant that looked as if it had been filled with ink. Although the jade was not pure and contained some impurities, it made the white part within it appear extremely warm and smooth, like a natural ink painting.
The carving is precisely placed on the white part of the jade, which contrasts sharply with the surrounding black jade, creating a striking yet complementary effect, like a wisp of smoke floating gently in the night.
