Chapter 379: Whirlpool (4)
We left Lee Tae’s base and headed back toward Dongting Lake aboard Geumdo.
Maybe it was the heat of the sun soaked into his body during the sunbathing—but Geumdo moved with noticeably more vigor.
As Geumdo sped downstream and a thick reed field appeared on the right, Lee Tae pointed and said,
“Lord So-ryong, we need to go in there. That’s Songzi Mouth.”
The spot he indicated was where the water of the Yangtze flowed into the center of the reed forest.
Tilting my head, I asked,
“Didn’t you say there were three entrances? Do we just use the first one we find?”
“Whichever one you take, they all converge eventually.”
“Really?”
From what the steersman had told me, there were three ways into West Dongting Lake.
Songzi Mouth, Ouchi Mouth, and Taiping Mouth.
I’d assumed they each led along different paths, but it turned out they all fed into a single water route.
