Chapter 89: Wu Yu 12 (1)
The following day and night were peaceful on the ship. Only the weather somewhat worried me. It had been raining continuously for the whole night, and even during the day it would drizzle sometimes. The passengers complained a lot about this, as the clouds blocked off the scenery on both sides. However, even though there were many that complained, no one talked about getting off the ship. After all, the ship had gone somewhere uninhabited.
I went to the captain about this, but the captain seemed confident. “Don’t worry, young man. There’s a huge dam downstream that regulates the water. I’ve seen worse weather and gone through them without a problem.”
His explanation seemed logical, and there did not seem to be anything to worry about. However, Tan Jiao and I knew that something abnormal would surely happen.
Yet, none of us could have imagined how this mysterious force would appear before us. That was also my first time witnessing the power of nature.
On the second evening, the ship came to a plateau lake. The sky was unexpectedly clear, making the trip seem unusually peaceful. My mood also became somewhat relaxed.
The ship arrived before the grassy plains, and a guide brought us down, introducing the place proudly. “This place is totally undeveloped. A primitive plain untouched by civilization...”
I helped Wu Miao down the ship while Tan Jiao followed behind us. When Wu Miao got down, I put out my hand toward Tan Jiao. She ignored my hand and stepped off the ship with one step. Then a smile formed on her lips as she went to Wu Miao.
I could only follow behind them, watching her.
“Ah Yu…” Chen Ruying called out to me from not far away. Her pace hastened, seemingly to catch up to me.
