Chapter 320 Can't swim

Only three days after Ling Yue left the State of Chu, Emperor Chu died. However, because the State of Xia has unified the whole world, the new emperor must go to the State of Xia to worship and obtain the approval of Emperor Xia to succeed to the throne. For a king, this can be said to be a great insult, but the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, which is the eternal truth. Reluctance, but there is nothing you can do about it.

And when Emperor Chu died, Ling Yue and Liu Ye were already on the boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery of rivers and lakes.

Stealing through the curtain, you can see the sparkling water. Liu Ye likes to lie on the table and enjoy it, and sometimes he will stand outside to watch the fish in the river. After all, he is still a child, although he is in his twenties.

Most of the time, Ling Yue stays in the cabin and does nothing.

"Ha, it's better to take a boat, la la..."

Ling Yue said with a smile, "Liao Ye, do you like to take a boat? It seems that I haven't heard you talk about it before.

"Well, because you can see the water." Liu Ye said, "It feels like freedom."

"When it comes to freedom, birds should be more free."

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Birds are not comfortable at all and are easy to be shot down by bows and arrows. If they are in the water, as long as they swim into the depths of the sea, there will be no danger, but... they are easy to be eaten by more powerful opponents, which is very worrying, but compared with birds, they still do it. Fish are happier.

"Ha ha, then you can be a fish in your next life."

Liu Ye said, "No, don't be a fish."

Huh? Why? Didn't you say that it's happier to be a fish?" Ling Yue asked doubtfully.

Liu Ye held his chin and said solemnly, "If you become a fish, you will be eaten. I don't know whether it will be braised or steamed. It's miserable, miserable, so don't make fish."

Ling Yue held her forehead: "Well... well, then don't be a fish."

"Sister, what are you going to do after seeing those bodies?"

"I haven't thought about this yet." Ling Yue said, "In a word, let's go to Cangguo first. If there is no big problem, how about visiting the mountains and rivers next?"

Liu Ye said, "No problem, sister, you are the imperial concubine now."

What about the imperial concubine? Can't the imperial concubine go to the mountains and play in the water?

"That's right, but you're not as good as before..."

"Well, all right." Ling Yue sighed and said, "But it's just a tour of mountains and rivers. This level should be acceptable."

Liu Ye said, "I hope so."

"Two objectively, it's going to rain soon. Stay in the cabin and don't come out." The boatman raised the curtain and said, "The boat will shake a little later. You two don't have to worry. I have 30 years of experience."

Ling Yue's mouth twitched a little: "Well, you don't mean to tell me that the ship is going to sink."

"Ha ha, how can it be?" The boatman said with a smile, "No, no, how can this ship sink... hehe."

Ling Yue said, "Just when I see you like that, I feel that the boat is sinking, but it doesn't matter. I can swim."

"I can also swim." Liu Ye said, "So it doesn't matter if the ship sinks."

The boatman said, "It turns out that you two can swim, so you don't have to worry about it, but I can't swim."

Ling Yue and Liu Ye said in unison, "You can't swim. Are you kidding?"

"Ha ha, I really can't swim."

"You can't swim. You can't swim. What kind of boatman are you?" Ling Yue said, "In case the boat really capsed, are you going to let the two of us save you?"

"Aren't you two able to swim? So it shouldn't be that I, an old man, will die."

Ling Yue and Liu Ye sighed at the same time.

Sure enough, as the boatman expected before, the boat began to shake violently, but it seemed to be very calm and there was no problem at all. Ling Yue and Liu Ye, sitting in the cabin, suddenly began to regret why they chose such an unreliable boat, and the boatman could not swim. Only when they said this kind of thing came out, the ghost believed it. No, even the ghost might not believe it.

"Sister, I'm regretful now." Liu Ye said, "Well, at that time, I thought he was old and should have experience, but I didn't expect him to be a dry duck."

Ling Yue said, "Maybe it's because of the dry duck that the boat's technology is particularly good. Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay."

"Okay, I hope nothing will go wrong."

The two spent an hour in the shaking, and after an hour, everything recovered as usual. Ling Yue walked out of the cabin and found that it was bright outside, and the sunshine was simply unreal. Then, Liu Ye also came out, then stood in the bow and stretched exaggeratedly: "Ah, there is really no problem."

The boatman turned around and smiled: "I said, there is no problem."

"Well, so your skills are very good." Ling Yue smiled and said, "But then again, if the ship really capsed and we don't save you, what should we do? Isn't your life finished?

"Ha ha, that can only be regarded as my old man's bad luck."

"You are optimistic." Ling Yue said, "If ordinary people can't swim, they won't be a boatman at all. Is there any special reason?"

The boatman shook his head and said, "There is no special reason, just because I like rivers."

"In that case, why not learn to swim?" Ling Yue continued to ask.

"Because I hate swimming, it's very uncomfortable to do what I hate." The boatman said, "Don't look at me like this. Thirty years ago, I was the champion. Alas, although I like to take the top exam, I don't like to be an official, so I came to be a sailor."

"Ha ha, it's really special. Never do what you don't like, otherwise would you rather die?"

"That's probably what it means. It's not easy to live. Wouldn't it be miserable to do something you don't like?" The boatman said, "It's obviously painful, but I have to endure it desperately. I can't do this kind of thing anyway, haha."

Ling Yue smiled: "Oh, so it is."

"That will die quickly." Liu Yefang threw out such a sentence.

"But the old man has lived for so long, hehe." The boatman smiled and said, "When people live in the world, they always want to be more open. Why bother themselves?"

"I think you are very much like a psychologist, and you are hazy." Ling Yue said, "Then I want to ask you a question."

"Oh? What questions does the girl want to ask?

Ling Yue said, "If you live in a world built by lies, what will you do? No, maybe it's not true. It should be said that you live in a fictional world. What will you do in that case?

The boatman thought for a moment and said, "Then live well."

"Live well? Is that all?" Ling Yue asked, "But if the world you live in is all fictional, then what are the joys and sorrows?"

"That kind of thing is decided by yourself, even if it's all fictional, as long as you are real. Is it true that in a fictional world, even you are fictional? The boatman said.

"If you are even false, what will you do?"

"Is even your own fiction? That's really strange, but there should be no such thing. It's impossible for you to make it. The ship said, "As long as it is your own thinking, there is no such thing as fiction. It doesn't exist at all. If you really care too much, I'm afraid that nothing is true. Because of this, the default is that everything is true. This is the right idea, and it's not the right idea, but... Haha, I don't know what to say.

Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is also very special, but after talking for a long time, I feel more and more confused."

The boatman said with a smile, "Ha ha, isn't it? That's really embarrassing; the old man didn't give you an answer, but made you more and more confused.
