It's not too far from the capital city of Chonghua to Lin'an. It only takes one day by boat and by water.
Along the way, the wind and water were smooth, and the mountains on both sides of the river were singing to each other. The towns we passed gradually changed from the magnificent buildings with deep eaves and brackets to the houses with white walls and black tiles, pillowed by the water.
The person steering the boat for them was a boat girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was from Lin'an and traveled on this waterway all year round. Aiden Mo and Blake Gu were traveling in regular clothes. The boat lady usually only cared about how many pounds of fish and shrimps there were and what the wind and waves would be like tomorrow. She had no interest in political affairs, so she didn't recognize the two of them.
Along the way, she spoke Wu Nong's soft language, giggling and chatting with the two of them. Sometimes she talked about the customs of Lichun Country, and sometimes she talked about the severe winter in Yanbeicheng. The pancakes sold at a pancake stall in Jing are crunchy and crispy.
Blake Gu was biting the small dried fish given to them by the boat girl, and listening in a daze, when he suddenly said: "You have been to many places."
