Li Xian said, "We should be able to escape." Nangong Liuli, hearing this, felt a slight joy and said, "How can you be so sure? Are you trying to trick me into feeling happy?"
Li Xian replied, "Why would I trick you? When you two were hung in the cell, I was practicing Martial Arts on the deck. I encountered several fishing boats filled with their catch."
"At that time, Ye Cheng ordered me to call the fishermen onto the boat and buy their fish. If the fishing boats had fruits and vegetables, or other foods like dry cakes and pickled vegetables, we bought them at a high price. After all... everyone had been eating fish for days, and the mouth was full of fishy odor, so having other foods would naturally be a pleasure."
"When the fishermen boarded the boat, I went to chat and negotiate. The Dongran Lake area is vast, and water bandits often threaten, but it is rich in fish, shrimp, and crabs, incredibly prosperous, and a vital survival ground for countless fishermen."
