I escaped from natural disasters and won by relying on the system.

After being renovated by Lin Yi and others, the house that Lin Chenyu bought in the capital has been almost ready.

On the second night, Lin Chenyu brought Lin Ke to his house in the capital through the space gate.

There happened to be a biweekly temple fair that evening, so the two dressed up and went to visit the temple fair in the capital.

The temple fair was crowded with people and cars, and from a distance it looked like a swimming dragon.

On both sides of the road are rows of shops with business signs hanging on them.

There are also some people setting up stalls on the roadside outside the shops.

For a while, the sounds of hawking were endless.

Lin Ke looked at everything in front of him curiously, wanting to see what the difference was between this purely ancient and quaint capital city and the antique-style city that never sleeps before the end of the world.

It’s true that although there were no colorful lights like today in ancient times, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Lanterns of various colors lit up the entire street as bright as day. Lin Ke couldn't help but think of a sentence he had seen before: "The lights in the flower market are as bright as day." Now it seems that this is not an exaggeration at all.

The two walked along with the flow of people, and vendors on both sides were entertaining customers from time to time.

"Sir, come and take a look. My rouge is definitely the best on this street. After you put it on, I guarantee you will be more beautiful than flowers, and the young man next to you will definitely be unable to take his eyes off you."

When Lin Ke heard this, she turned around and saw a man and a woman choosing rouge in front of a rouge stall. After hearing what the vendor said, the woman looked at her lover beside her with a shy face.

The man's eyes were full of stars when he looked at the woman. He smiled as he watched his beloved woman pick out a suitable rouge. After thanking the boss and paying the money, he took the woman and continued shopping forward.

Seeing that Lin Ke was always looking at the couple, Lin Chenyu thought that she wanted something too, so he said, "Are you jealous? How about I buy some for you?"

Lin Ke rolled her eyes at him. She was just an elementary school student now, why did she need rouge?

Besides, can this ancient rouge compare with the cosmetics in her mall?

What a foolish man.

Lin Ke turned around and ignored Lin Chenyu, and walked straight forward.

Seeing that Lin Ke was angry, Lin Chenyu hurriedly chased after her and handed her a candied haws he had just bought.

Lin Ke took the candied haws and took a big bite. It was sour and sweet and tasted good.

With delicious food, Lin Ke's mood became sunny again.

The two bought funny masks on the roadside and each wore one.

Whenever Lin Ke saw something delicious or fun on the roadside, as long as Lin Ke said it was good, Lin Chenyu would buy it for her.

However, they didn't expect that the combination of a boy and a girl had been targeted very early on.

As they were strolling, they came to a waterside with many pleasure boats on the water. Standing on the shore, they could hear the sound of the pipa "big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate" from the pleasure boats.

Lin Ke wanted to go on the pleasure boat to experience it, so Lin Chenyu let her do it, and the two of them asked on the side how to get on the pleasure boat.

But at this moment, a seemingly honest man in shorts came out to solicit customers.

"Sir, do you want to go on a pleasure boat? If you don't mind, I have a pleasure boat at home with seats available. Would you like to go on board and have some fun?"

The two looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small pleasure boat parked not far away with a few young men and women on it.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Chenyu said in a dandy manner, "I wonder if there is anyone on the pleasure boat who can play the piano to entertain us? How much does it cost?"

The man nodded and bowed, "Sir, our pleasure boat is small and we cannot afford to hire a musician to play the piano, but I have a daughter at home who has a pretty good singing voice. I wonder if you two are interested?"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Chenyu cautiously, waiting for his answer.

"Okay, how much is it to board your houseboat?"

When the man heard Lin Chenyu's agreement, excitement flashed in his eyes, but it was suppressed in an instant.

He continued leaning forward and said, "Our pleasure boat is small. You two only need to pay twenty taels of silver to enjoy it for an hour."

Compared with the price of hundreds of taels that I just asked about, this price is indeed not expensive.

The two nodded in agreement and then walked towards the dock.

The man exchanged a glance with the person behind him, waved a small flag at the water, and the pleasure boat headed towards the shore.

After the pleasure boat stopped, the two of them stepped on the pedals and got on board.

A woman in her thirties came up to greet them. She was obviously surprised for a moment when she saw Lin Ke and the others. Then she bowed and said, "Welcome to Mengxi Painting Boat. Please come in."

After passing through the reception room near the bow, the two were taken to a small room of about three or four square meters.

The whole room was obviously carefully decorated, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

There is a coffee table on the floor in the room, and the floor is covered with a snow-white carpet. The windows are decorated with silk curtains. Through the windows, you can see the sparkling water outside and other gorgeously decorated houseboats passing by.

The beautiful singing and the melodious piano music outside added more color to this lively night.

After a while, there was another knock on the door.

When Lin Chenyu opened the door, he saw the woman coming in with a tea tray containing some snacks and two drinks.

The woman smiled and said, "My dear guests, this is the food and drinks that the boat has prepared for you. I hope you will have a pleasant night."

Lin Chenyu brought the food to the coffee table, and Lin Ke immediately smelled that something had been added to it.

Lin Ke let Xiao Zi absorb the medicine inside, and the two of them ate slowly while looking at the scenery.

I have to say, these snacks and drinks taste really good.

After a while, another girl of about sixteen or seventeen knocked on their door. She was sent by the owner of the houseboat to sing.

The two of them ate while listening to music.

The girl's voice is clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Lin Ke felt that the trip was worth it as he could hear such a moving voice.

The girl sang one song after the first one she sang, and only after she saw them finish eating the food on the table did she bow and leave.

The pleasure boat slowly moved to the center of the lake, and the two saw someone sneaking towards their room.

The other young men and women all fainted without exception.

The two looked at each other, and when the person walked to the door of the room, they also lay on the coffee table and pretended to faint.

With a creaky sound, the wooden door opened and a man and a woman came in. They were the man who had introduced them to the ship and the woman who was about thirty years old.

The two men searched Lin Ke and the other two separately, and only found a purse containing more than one or two taels of silver on Lin Chenyu, and some sundry items such as wooden hairpins that he had bought.

"Poor bastard!" The woman cursed and said to the man, "Why are you following us? These two are so poor, and they are leading them to the boat. I'm afraid they can't even afford the boat fare. All the food I prepared with all my heart is wasted."
