Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Darkness, flickering candlelight.

Silence, amidst a cacophony of sounds.

The first batch of information obtained through Fu Zhao's secret search was quickly passed on to Xia Youmi and Fu Shi.

Four people went missing on this large ship: the Crown Prince, Xia Youtian, the Crown Prince's eunuch, and one of the Crown Prince's personal guards.

However, Xia Youmi was able to determine this number immediately upon scanning the ships every year.

just,

She couldn't identify the other two missing persons, nor could she speak openly about it in detail.

The disappearance of the Crown Prince and Xia Youtian was confirmed the moment Fu Zhao woke up.

And those four people,

They have completely left the area of ​​this lake.

Even the tour boats that were supposed to be providing support nearby, and the people who were supposed to be on board, have all disappeared.

Xia Youmi wanted to send a message to her older brother.

Although they sometimes came home later, they never did so without saying a word.

Besides, my second brother is taking an exam the day after tomorrow. It would be inappropriate to distract him now by having him skip the exam to look for someone. Alternatively, it would be better to keep the news from him until after the exam and then update him on the situation. Neither of these options is suitable.

She can't control her own nature.

At last,

Given the urgency of the situation, Xia Youmi asked Fu Zhao to open a small checkpoint so that the guard Bai, who had been resting in the cabin, could return and deliver a message.

The letter was opened by the eldest brother, and it explained the suspicious circumstances surrounding her falling into the water at noon, hinted at the boat owner's identity, explained the younger sister's disappearance, and expressed his opinion on whether the second brother should be informed.

Nothing is more important than the safety of my family.

Isn't that what the Xia family has always done?

Fu Shi was not in good condition, but she listened to advice and obediently returned to her cabin so as not to cause trouble for anyone.

Xia Youmi, upon confirming that Fu Zhao had begun searching the surrounding area despite the risk of the boats leaking, also launched his own operation.

Before disembarking,

Xia Youmi first borrowed a dark men's outfit and covered all her hair.

She took everything she could get her hands on immediately, including tinder, daggers, and medicinal powder. Fu Zhao and Fu Shi each assigned a guard to accompany her.

I mentally sketched out a rough map of the area around the lake, and planned to return to the shore first, then search along the waterways of Qingtan Lake one by one.

After she rode the borrowed horse around the lake quickly, Nian Nian reminded her that Xia Yisong and Xia Yibo were coming from behind.

The three siblings nodded to each other without delay.

They went straight to the direction where Xia Youmi had found the trail.

In fact, there are traces of new pedestrians along about three river routes extending outward from the lake.

among them,

There were two paths, both unclear, with traces of panic resembling a kidnapping, but Nian Nian carefully discovered fragments of Xia Youtian's jade bracelet.

And just then, a road appeared that showed no signs of kidnapping.

She believed it was a code left by her sister.

She then relayed this discovery to Fu Zhao in a simultaneous manner to the bear guards who had been following her.

The three Xia siblings then rode off first.

They also habitually conceal their voices and traces.

They were able to move forward smoothly only thanks to the bright moonlight, which seemed to be clearing a path for them.

......

The moon rises above the treetops, and a gentle night breeze blows.

Two girls dressed as young women were sneaking around on the bamboo raft, whispering to each other under the cover of the water plants.

"It's my fault for dragging you down." The person in the light pink dress suppressed the chill and trembled, her lips were pale, and her eyes were filled with guilt and dejection.

"It's alright, anyone who happens to you would save you." The woman in the light blue dress was still damp with sweat, and her voice trembled slightly, but her tone was more cheerful and generous.

Even while hiding, the woman in blue didn't forget the common sense her family had taught her. She gently wrung out a handkerchief and kept wiping her hair. She also carefully avoided the draft and massaged her head with her fingers.

The other person's hair was tightly wrapped in a dry cloth, and for the first time, he felt uncomfortable about taking advantage of the situation.

"Give me the things, and once I'm out, you can tell me what reward you want." He thought the other party would refuse, and then he could forcefully bestow a rich and amazing reward upon them.

Unexpectedly,

The woman in blue smiled and said:

"Hehe, then give me some good paints!"

The person in pink was taken aback, but quickly agreed:

"Okay! However, I'm afraid that if I make empty promises, and then we can't go back, what will happen..."

"Oh dear, don't think the worst! My second sister said that if you always think positively, the god of good fortune will consider you a family."

"You actually believe that?"

"How could I not believe it? They all say I'm a fairy child under the God of Good Fortune." Xia Youtian, dressed in blue, puffed out her cheeks, full of confidence and pride in her identity.

See here,

Even the Crown Prince, dressed in pink, couldn't help but say:

"That makes some sense, otherwise we would all have drowned by now."

"Just you wait! My older brothers and sisters will be here to save me soon."

"Then my cousins ​​will come to save me too!"

"Want to make a bet and see who gets here faster!"

“Let’s gamble! If you don’t play, you’re a coward.” The prince perked up immediately, a blush returning to his face as he watched Xia Youtian proudly boast about how much her family loved her.

"Hey! I'm sure I'll win!" Xia Youtian had no doubt that she would be found, and that her family would find her location before the authorities.

Unexpectedly,

The prince, being mischievous, confidently blurted out, "Who said that? I never said I would bet on my cousins ​​arriving faster. I bet on your second sister arriving even faster, hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Youtian gritted her teeth and said, "You brat, you even gamble like this!"

"You didn't say it was impossible! Anyway, I was the one who said this result first. If you want to bet, you have to choose another one." The Crown Prince grinned, revealing his teeth in a wicked smile.

"Then I won't play."

"If you don't play, you're a little cricket! That's what we agreed on."

“Then I’ll bet on my eldest and second brothers to arrive first. What’s the wager? I’ll say it first: if I bet right, you have to keep an eye out for a case for me!” Xia Youtian was quite clever and couldn’t help but want to use his power to clear his father’s name.

“Alright.” The Crown Prince did not hesitate. He raised the corners of his lips and stated his bet, “If I bet right, I’ll have your second sister draw a picture for me.”

Xia Youtian was a little confused; how did he know that Xia Youmi could draw?

Furthermore, the painting I did for her today is still on that ship; I haven't received it yet.

"But I can't make that decision for my second sister. If she doesn't agree, then it doesn't count!"

"It's alright, you just need to convey the message."

"Alright then..." Xia Youtian agreed. Excluding the extremely low possibility that her second sister would refuse, this request was really not excessive.

even,

She suspected that the other party was just making up an excuse to give her a reward.

If my second sister comes to save people first, I must find a reason to be very grateful to her.

After they finished speaking, the two remained silent for a while.

Sleepiness was swirling around her, and Xia Youtian would pinch her palm every now and then to keep herself from closing her eyes.

I always carry qi-boosting pills and sugar granules with me, and I estimate the amount carefully, taking a small one every now and then.

On the way to Beijing,

Her older brother and sister were telling her how to survive and how to escape danger.

Why do I feel a little proud when I finally manage to put this into practice and save a living person?
