Infinite Streamer

Chapter 176 Sparse shadows and clear water

Lin Chong did not bother to avoid suspicion and carried Li Qingzhao back to the inn where he was temporarily staying. He watched as small boats came in from the various docks outside the city wall of Hangzhou, carrying the freshest vegetables, fruits, fish, snails, shrimps and crabs from the suburbs to the restaurants and teahouses along the Imperial Street.

From time to time, there are fishermen or boatmen sitting at the bow, humming the Hangzhou tunes with a strong Jiangnan style, while fishing and rowing.

Lin Chong returned to the inn and temporarily hired two maids to take care of the sleeping Li Qingzhao. Then he left the inn and strolled along the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, looking for houses, shops and various industries that he was interested in selling.

There are fish baskets outside Wulin Gate, silk baskets outside Genshan Gate, racing horses outside Fengshan Gate, salt baskets outside Qingtai Gate, vegetable baskets outside Wangjiang Gate, wine jars outside Houchao Gate, manure baskets outside Qingchun Gate, firewood baskets outside Qingbo Gate, rowboats outside Yongjin Gate, and incense baskets outside Qiantang Gate.

Small boats passed through the damp mist, and the beautiful and luxurious city of Hangzhou slowly appeared before Lin Chong's eyes like an unfolding scroll.

Lin Chong strolled through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou City, and unknowingly came to Phoenix Mountain. There were not many tourists on Phoenix Mountain, and there was also a Moon Rock on the mountain for moon viewing. It is said that "every Mid-Autumn Festival, moonlight shines through the holes in the rock, transforms into a bright moon, and just happens to be projected into the pool." "Xihu Youlan Zhiyu" describes this scene.

Most tourists may not have heard of Yueyan, but it is one of the three famous moon-viewing spots along with Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake. Like the city gates of Hangzhou, Yueyan not only tells the story of the present, but also bears witness to the history.

Fengshan Gate is close to Phoenix Mountain and is a city gate named after Phoenix Mountain. Because it is located at the southern end, it is also called Zhengyang Gate.

Qingbo Gate is on the other side of Fenghuang Mountain, very close to West Lake. Other city gates close to West Lake include Yongjin Gate and Qiantang Gate. Qingbo Gate was first built during the Wuyue Kingdom period of the Five Dynasties. In the past, woodcutters on Nangao Peak would pass through this gate to sell firewood in the city, making it very lively.

Rowing outside Yongjin Gate refers to the West Lake outside Yongjin Gate. Now it is the Song Dynasty, and the West Lake is not in the city, but outside the city. At this time, there are few tourists in the West Lake, and even fewer tourists in Gushan.

"Ding, ding, ding", the sound of the Buddhist temple bell outside Qiantang Gate resounded through the sky. Hangzhou's title of "Southeast Buddhist Kingdom" was earlier than "Paradise on Earth". Lin Chong crossed the water to the shore of West Lake and walked through the Broken Bridge Scenic Area with a sea of ​​people to take a look at the ruins on Phoenix Mountain.

As the day ended and the sun set, Lin Chong continued to walk along Bai Causeway and Su Causeway. The evening scene around West Lake was obviously different from that in the daytime. With the moonlight shining in the lonely night, it was indeed a good place to enjoy the plum blossoms under the moon.

"Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, becoming graceful and beautiful as dusk approaches." Lin Chong couldn't help but be obsessed with the gorgeous scene at dusk.

By the time Lin Chong came to his senses, the sun had already set and the night had fallen. His stomach was rumbling, and the hungry Lin Chong quickly returned to the inn through the space-time router system's transmission function.

Li Qingzhao was still in a coma. Lin Chong lifted the hypnosis and Li Qingzhao woke up slowly. Seeing Lin Chong guarding her side, she felt inexplicably moved and her love for him increased. If Lin Chong had not used special means, she would have died in the leopard's mouth today.
