Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

Chapter 204 016 Journey to Bjork Island (Part )
Solovyov knew that his fishing skills were not very good, so he prepared some extra hooks and a custom-made fishing rod. He was not in the boat yet, but was waiting for the fish on a small gravel beach.

He only knew that there were many fish in Lake Mälaren, but what he could catch depended on luck.

Such a comfortable life is indeed rare, and there are so many fish in the lake that even though he often has no idea what is hooked on his fishing rod, he quickly caught two bass.

“That’s not bad luck.”

He thought that there was a very small island in between, and he couldn't see what was happening over there.

Louisa took her two sisters to swim, but Mary was always shy. When her toes touched the water, she felt cool and comfortable, but she just didn't want to go in.

If she went into the water wearing a "swimsuit" of this era, even if it was the "simplified" version her sister gave her in St. Petersburg, she would probably sink to the bottom after swimming a few times. Fortunately, the water here was not deep and there was a small island in front for shelter. She still walked in like this in her skirt, but she couldn't move at all.

"Mary, this won't do. You should get rid of the constraints of your swimsuit today."

Louisa was helping Wilhelmina take off her clothes. The cumbersome dress was indeed not suitable for swimming in such a clear lake. Although the younger sister had spent little time with her elder sister, she was still very obedient and was quickly disarmed.

"Mina, come and help your sister undress, and that timid Mary too."

Luisa gave the maids a day off today, and they all went to rest. Even Natalia was on a date with her fiancé today, so everyone needed to relax.

But considering that the northern part of the island is actually the site of the "Birka" town or market place that Louisa had read about, and there are thousands of cemeteries nearby, I wonder what these girls would think.

The southern part of the island is indeed beautiful, and the sight of three girls playing in the water is still quite beautiful.

However, because of the small island between them, Solovyov could not see his lover's current natural cute and a little funny appearance.

She doesn't breathe when she swims, and sticks her head out, which makes her look like a cute doggy paddle.
She stumbled on land, but was very free in the water and was able to pull the clumsy Mary forward. The younger sister was very agile and had already swam to the small island in the middle.

"Sister, come here quickly."

There was no way she could help it; Mary was still a little timid. When they were little, she swam in ponds in Karlsruhe. The ponds were so shallow that even when the children's feet reached the bottom, their heads were often visible.

This is a natural lake. They are free from the constraints of clothes in a purely natural posture, and their whole bodies are in close contact with the cool lake water.

"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. It's so wonderful."

Louisa pulled Mary and floated on the water. The current here was very gentle and would not carry them to open water. There was no one around except a few maids.

Then she could feel the water splashing on her face, chest and abdomen, which still felt cool.

"Mina, you naughty girl."

Even quiet sisters like Louisa and Mary couldn't stand Wilhelmina's behavior, so they started splashing water at each other and had a water fight.

It is more fun to "hurt each other" when playing in the water. After playing for a while, the sisters were tired, so they hugged each other, then lay on the beach, letting the lake water wash their bodies.

“This is really fun.”

Louisa was still holding Mary. They both looked younger than their actual age based on their faces, but that was not the case with their figures. Mary was lying on Louisa's body, with her back and buttocks receiving the sunlight.

In high latitudes, it is difficult to get skin color even if you sunbathe for a while in the summer. They are usually wrapped tightly, with only the shoulders and a small part of the northern hemisphere exposed, which makes their skin look even whiter.

"Sister, your skin is so white."

Mary rested her head on her sister's chest, enjoying Louisa's caress, like two docile kittens snuggling together. Wilhelmina wanted to come over, but she didn't think it was interesting, so she swam back to her side.

"Mary, can you swim back by yourself?"

"It's only a short paragraph, it doesn't matter, I just..."

"There are only us sisters here, and the maids waiting over there. You guys can enjoy the cool air on the beach over there. I want to swim for a while longer. The lake water here is very clean. I want to swim for a while longer."

Mary was not worried about her sister. Louisa was a good swimmer and could often swim for a long time without feeling tired.

Maybe contact with water can make her feel more relaxed.

She swam back slowly and rested together with her sister under a blanket. The maids were also a little sleepy and did not notice where Louisa had gone.

Solovyov had a good harvest at the lake. He caught a lot of fish and threw them into a wooden barrel. He would grill them later. He had to thank the Dutch for their advanced technology of removing the herring's internal organs with one knife. He had seen this method on the streets of Sweden.

However, there is no fresh herring here, but there are perch and pike. The taste of perch is always delicious, no matter how it is cooked.

Of course, Solovyov has always been a clean person. He opened the belly of the fish and cleaned it carefully, then began to add salt and light firewood.

Now he didn't even have the unsafe matches, so he had to use the fire bottle to make a fire. The firewood pile was ready, but the fire still needed to burn for a while. He would go find some more firewood to add to the fuel, and that would be enough.

But he didn't notice someone coming from behind and covering his eyes.

He could feel that the small hands belonged to Louisa, but they were wet.

"Louisa, did you swim here?"

"What else? Turn around and look at me, Mishka, turn around and look at me."

After Louisa withdrew her hand, Solovyov saw the completely uncovered white skin, which was so beautiful that he blushed instead.

"You greedy green-eyed little wolf, you've been intimate with me so many times, and you still blush when you see me."

"Louisa, why are you here like this?"

"It's okay. Mary and Mina are sleeping on the beach over there. I came here by myself. The maids won't say anything, and they don't know I came here. They might even think I'm a good swimmer and swam far away."

"But you..."

Solovyov held Louisa in his arms, caressing her wet and silky back and waist, and felt a different kind of happiness. If it were just the two of them, living a peaceful life, it might be a different picture. "I really want to be with you for the rest of my life, even if you become an old lady. But fate has arranged it this way. The goddess likes to play tricks on people, and she always arranges it this way."

"You know that this is an unlikely fate. I'd be happy if you were always by my side. Come on, let's go to your cabin. Is there no one there now?"

"Of course no one is there. Eat the fish I grilled first before going over. And it would not be good if someone saw you like this. I'll wrap you in a blanket. Wipe your body clean first so you don't catch a cold."

"But I have to swim back, Mishka. If you row the boat to take me back, everyone will know."

"Maybe so. I have a clean shirt here. You can sit on a blanket and eat the grilled fish. But the only seasoning is some salt."

Of course, in Russia, the context of "borrowing salt" is very subtle. Although Louisa was the queen of Russia, she was born a princess of Baden. Bread and salt might just be a way for her to show respect during activities. She certainly didn't know the meaning.

As for the enjoyment of eating fish, although salt is added, the taste is still good because of the freshness of the ingredients themselves.

“You can’t eat this kind of food anywhere else, you have to discover it yourself.”

Louisa put on Solovyov's shirt, but she felt that the shirt was still a little big and blocked the areas that should be covered, which made her look somewhat seductive.

In the past, Louisa was always pitiful, not like this with her legs showing.

Her focus was still on eating the fish, and her appetite was pretty good, which was different from usual.

"That's great, but it's only for a few days. I'll swim over to you at night like a water demon and pull you under the water. You haven't seen me swim yet, have you?"

"I was fishing just now, too, and I didn't see it. Louisa, are you swimming like a mermaid?"

"Of course not, you'll know soon."

After Louisa unbuttoned her shirt, she jumped into the water like a fish, but except when she was treading water, she was still doing an adorable doggy paddle.

"Luisa, the way you swim is something that everyone who loves you will like. It's cute, but your swimming efficiency is too low. Let me teach you."

"Mishka, I know you saved Constantine from the water, so it would be great if you could teach me."

"Come on, Louisa, you need to turn over. I'll teach you."

If Louisa had used the breaststroke posture to kick the water, her legs would not have felt as powerful due to their lack of muscle, but this posture was easier to learn because of her treading water posture.

I have to say that she has a beautiful figure and any swimming posture she strikes is pleasing to the eye, especially this state of being in harmony with nature.

"Pay attention, I'll hold your stomach, just kick your legs and swing your arms. If you can, try to breathe as well."

Even though the two had a close relationship, Solovyov couldn't put his arms on Louisa's chest. When he wanted to touch Louisa's conscience and feel her heartbeat, the fairy he was holding in the water always grabbed his hands with both hands.

Just looking at the back is already pleasing to the eye, especially the large area of ​​fair skin, which looks even more attractive when it is soaked in the cool lake water and illuminated by the afternoon sun.

Louisa plucked up the courage to breathe in this way, and she didn't choke on the water. However, the lake water was not that sweet, and she couldn't taste any special taste.

"Very good, that's it, you have mastered the essentials of breaststroke."

This swimming style is now the most mature one, but among several standard swimming styles, it is also the slowest.

"What about underneath? What if it turns over?"

When Louisa relaxed, she was still a little lively, but she only did that when she was with someone she was close to and let go. She turned around in the water and just floated on the surface, allowing Mishka to admire her body.

"It's nice to float like this. You can try to use your legs to paddle, and then your arms, like this."

However, the student who was teaching swimming also noticed that his student's lips were in a position for a kiss.

"Thank you, Mishka, I am very happy to be with you."

"Me too, Louisa."

Kissing in the water, the two hugged each other, and Louisa asked her lover to watch her. They played in the water and basked in the sun lazily on the blanket. This pure natural scenery was also beautiful. Louisa still had a very fair complexion after basking in the sun, but her delicate skin was pink and tender, which made people love to touch.

Although Louisa could confirm that her sister and the servants were now resting, this could not last too long.

"I still have to swim back, Mishka. I won't come over tonight, but you have to be careful of water monsters crawling into your cabin."

"Then I will lock you, the little water demon, in the house, and you must listen to me carefully. I will make you delicious grilled fish, boil fresh perch soup with lake water, and then serve you to sleep well, just like the breeze passing by."

"You are definitely not Qingfeng when you look like that, but I like it very much."

"Luisa, it's good that you like it, but you have to be careful. I heard that the pike here are very fierce."

It was a bit messy, but Louisa still giggled.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I have to go back. See you tomorrow."

Then she walked into the water and swam back from whence she had come.

The way she swam back on her back was very beautiful and hard to forget.

After the fair-skinned fairy swam back like this, she was still a little smug. When she came back, she only saw her sisters still sleeping, and the maids were also a little tired and were taking a nap.

After Louisa came back quietly, they crawled into the blanket to sleep together. She especially liked to hug Mary, who was of the same size as her. Such an afternoon nap seemed very beautiful.

In the next few days, she had to go to the wooden house over there to find Mishka.
