The nine princesses of the East Palace

The paddle didn't seem to be as easy to control as I thought. I let it go forward, but it just wanted to go backward. Therefore, the boat was shaken by me, and the more I rowed, the more frightened I became.

"Li Chengyin, what should I do, the boat is going to capsize." I was so anxious that my palms were sweating, I stared at Li Chengyin, and hurriedly asked him for help.

Li Cheng Yin curled his lips, but he could still laugh, "I didn't know who it was just now, but I swore that it was much more stable than me."

"You can't blame me, who told you not to teach me." I was a little aggrieved.The guy who promised to teach me how to row a boat, but when he gets here, he just makes fun of me. He is really bad.

Li Chengyin said: "You said you knew it, so why should I teach you?"

"I... I just thought I would..." My voice weakened, but my eyes fixed on Li Chengyin, I really wanted to make a hole in him.

I was really afraid of falling into the river.

"Okay, don't stare at me anymore, I'm most afraid of you staring at me, looking like you're going to eat people, I'll just teach you." He stretched out his hand to hold the rudder, and muttered again, "If every day Being stared at by you like this will shorten my life for several years."

He just pressed it lightly, and the hull of the boat seemed to return to its original position, and began to stabilize. I was a little dumbfounded. My movements were obviously similar to his. Why did the boat listen to him, but refused to listen to me? What about?

I don't give up.

"Don't you want to learn? Go and sit opposite me." Li Chengyin said.

I quickly sat down obediently, "And then?" I stared at him intently and asked.

"Put your hands on the helm."

I put my hand on it as I said, and he let go of the hand that was originally steering. I suddenly panicked, and I didn't know whether to push forward or backward, so I moved forward all at once, and all at once backward, the ship was taken by me. Make a mess.

"Help me quickly." I was really scared by him several times today.

He held down my hand and stabilized the boat, "If you want to go forward, go forward, if you want to go backward, go backward, don't go forward and backward at once, you're so stupid!"

I said angrily: "If you call me stupid again, I will throw you into the river!"

While rowing the boat while holding my hand, he said: "If you dare, before I go down, I will pull you down too."

I said, "If you pull me down, I will sue my grandma and punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall."

But he wasn't afraid at all: "Grandma loves me the most. If I tell her the reason, she won't punish me. On the contrary, you may have to copy "The Commandments for Women" a dozen times."

I froze for a moment, "Isn't it just copying "The Commandments of Women", Yong Niang will help me find a way."

Li Cheng Yin said with a smile: "If Yong Niang helped you, you might have to copy it thirty times."

I stammered a little angrily: "You, you... at worst, I won't let you into the river, so I won't copy "The Commandments for Women."

Li Chengyin grinned, as if he was waiting for my words.

Sometimes, I always feel that he has known me for a long time, and he can even guess what I want to say next, but it has not been half a year since our first meeting in Xizhou.

Rowing is really not too difficult. After learning for a while, I figured out the temperament of this boat and wanted to show my skills.But Li Chengyin still pressed my hand and didn't let go, saying that he didn't trust me, afraid that I would drag him into the water.

He was sitting opposite me, with a smiling face on his face, staring at me calmly, we were so close, I felt uncomfortable all over, and the back of my hand was hot when he touched it.

"Let go of your hands, go over." After suffering for a long time, I finally couldn't help but say.

Not only did he not stay away from me, but he got closer, "I didn't know who it was just now, and begged me to teach her to row. Now that I have learned it, she will turn her face and deny anyone. It is unreasonable to drive me away." .”

"Who begged you? I obviously wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for Buddha, but you didn't let me go, you insisted on pulling me and telling me to teach me how to row. When I got here, you didn't teach me for a long time." I have a good memory, so I I won't let him be fooled.

"I don't care what you say, I just won't let go." He actually acted like a rascal, which really pissed me off.

My hand was held by him and I couldn't move, so I had to lean over and push him with my elbow, but he sat like a stone pier and couldn't push him.I pushed it once and nothing happened, then I pushed it a second time, and a third time, and I finally pushed him a little farther and snatched the oar, but I didn't hold it tightly, and the oar slipped out of my hand and fell. Into the river, washed farther and farther by the water, and then disappeared.

I'm really dumbfounded, what should I do now?

Li Chengyin was also dumbfounded, "Look at you, you are really stupid, the oars are gone, how do we go back?"

"I..." I looked around, we were far away from the shore at this moment, and there were no other boats on the river, "Who said paddles must be used for rowing?" I said.

"Then what's the use?" Li Chengyin asked.

I raised my hand and shook it, "Use your hands."

Li Chengyin's face was full of black lines when he heard this, "That's too stupid, I don't need it if you want to use it. If someone finds out, I think I can laugh all day long."

"Well... I can use it if I use it." I said unreasonably.After finishing speaking, he stretched his hand into the river and started paddling, but the boat did not move, and there was a tendency to lean to one side.

Li Chengyin took a look at me, then put his hands into the water resignedly, "Paddle together."

I saw him pushing forward, I was thinking whether I should go forward or backward, I just wanted to row backward, Li Chengyin said: "Stupid, row backward, going forward will only get farther and farther away from the shore."

I thought it might be the same, so I rowed in the same direction as him.

The river water is really cold right now, it hurts my hands.I withdrew my hand, rubbed it, and took a few breaths.

"You work hard there." Li Chengyin shouted at me with his hands red from the cold.

"I'm working hard." I rowed hard again.

"Quickly work hard."

At last the boat started to go back, though only a little distance.But if you are not careful, the force is not synchronized, the boat will retreat, and it will be in vain again...

We rowed and rowed, desperately rowing, we didn't care about anything, the only thing we thought about was to quickly row the boat to the shore. At first, our hands were frozen like ice picks, but slowly, we didn't feel the cold. up.

I don't know how long we paddled, it was dark, and we haven't reached the shore yet.Yongning and the others couldn't find us, and they probably died of anxiety.

"Li Chengyin, how far is it?" It was pitch black and I couldn't see my surroundings, so I asked him weakly.

Li Chengyin thought for a while, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to go back before dawn."

"How long will it be until dawn?"

"Don't talk, row quickly."

"I've been paddling, but you didn't move."

"You didn't move at all." Li Chengyin said.

"It's over, it seems to be stuck and I can't move." No matter how hard I tried, the boat didn't move.

Li Chengyin said: "Back up a little, back up a little and you can move."

It took a lot of effort to finally move the boat again.After more than half an hour, the boat finally docked, but I was exhausted.

As soon as I got ashore, I folded my arms and breathed fiercely, freezing to death.

Li Chengyin is not much better than me, "Come here, I'll cover you." He said suddenly.

I leaned in a little bit, he pulled me over, I staggered, and bumped into his shoulder, and was about to back away, but he said: "Don't move around, give me your hand."

I raised my face and raised my hands that were red with cold.

He put my hands into his sleeves. His sleeves were very wide. I didn't feel warm at first. He tightened the sleeves and wrapped my hands, and then slowly warmed up.
