Chapter 382 The Bet
After patrolling the surface of Weishan Lake, aside from once again witnessing the deep blue sky and the vast expanse of water, there was no other gain.
The sky was getting brighter, the fog gradually dispersing, and a spray of the red sun showed half its face above the green water, dyeing the surface a layer of dazzling gold, making people feel unusually warm.
Luo Ning nestled beside Lin Wanrong, the golden morning sun shining on her face, setting off spots of golden red blush, contrasting with her snow-white skin, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Ning'er's eyes were filled with the glow of happiness as she hugged Lin Wanrong's arm and softly said, "Big brother, if I could watch the sunrise with you every day, Ning'er would have no other wishes in her life."
Women are emotional creatures, just worrying about not finding money a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, longing for a beautiful future. Lin Wanrong gave a wry smile and said to Luo Yuan who was standing to one side, "Little Luo, instruct the brothers on the boat to stop for now. After breakfast, we'll continue to investigate."
Luo Yuan nodded in agreement and passed the message along. For those who lived on the water, their entire livelihood depended on a small boat. Soon, the surrounding boats were seen with curling smoke, and the aroma of fish and rice drifted over.
The boatman, an old man, hurried around and handed a bowl of fish soup to Lin Wanrong, saying, "Sir, try our fresh fish soup from Weishan Lake. I caught it overnight. It's not easy to catch fish in the lake during early spring. Originally, I wanted to give it to Lord Luo, but then this happened."
Lin Wanrong quickly took it with both hands, expressing gratitude with a smile, and handed it to Luo Ning first, saying, "The fish of this spring are those that escaped the nets in winter. After a cold winter, well-fed on water grass, they are plump and robust, just when they are most nourishing. Ning'er, you are frail, take a sip of the soup to warm up. You lost blood last night; you need to replenish yourself."
Luo Ning was deeply moved by his first words, but the latter words seemed frivolous. She looked at her big brother reproachfully and pinched him secretly on the waist, taking the bowl and taking a small sip.
