A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

After taking a shower in the evening, Yu Chu looked at the full-length mirror and pinched the soft flesh on his stomach, thinking that he couldn't go on like this, he had to start exercising.

For the next few days, every morning and evening, he would go out for a run. The island is quite big, and it took him more than half an hour to run along the lanes around the island, and it took him half an hour to run. Every time I pass by the only small pier, I see that there are not many thugs guarding there, but there is not a single boat, only an empty pier.

There are few people, and the boat is gone, so I still can't get out of this island.

Fortunately, although the days on the island are boring, they are not particularly difficult. Every day I run, look at the sea, and chat with Rugosa.

When Rugosa came to clean every day, he would chat with Yu Chu for a while. She likes the second son more and more. Not only is she good-looking, but she also likes to listen to her speech. And without a trace of impatience, no matter what she said, she listened carefully, looked at her with those round eyes that seemed to be soaked in water, and asked questions from time to time.

“Don’t the poor have to go hungry? Just work to earn more money?”

"You can be educated, right? Then why did you only read secondary school?"

“Nationwide without curfew at night? Nationwide?”

In Rugosa's slightly sympathetic and loving eyes, Yu Chu obtained more information about Yu's family and the world through the Internet and her mouth, and also knew about the information sent by Yu Shiqing. People are going back to the island today. Including Zhou Mu, who hadn't seen him for a few days.

Of course, when the people come back, so will the boat.

Around eleven o'clock at night, Yu Chu was about to fall asleep when he heard long and short whistles from the direction of the pier. He quickly got up from the bed and walked to the window to look out. It was raining again on the island, and there were a few bright lights on the sea in the distance. It was not clear from the rain, but he knew that it was a boat docked at the pier.

About ten minutes later, the gate of Yujiabao was opened, and a large group of people poured in, and Yu Shiqing was walking in front.

Yu Chu hid in the dark and stared at them, and saw Zhou Mu behind the crowd.

He was wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt, which was the most inconspicuous position, but his tall and straight figure could still be seen at a glance. The light from the building shone on his face, and his deep eyes were trapped in the shadow of the eyebrows and could not see clearly.

Yu Chu felt that, after seeing him for a few days, this person seemed more stern than before.

Everyone went upstairs, including the thugs guarding the gate, to Yu Shiqing's study on the third floor. The surroundings fell silent, except for the rustling of raindrops on the grass and windowsills.

Yu Chu did not turn on the lights, checked the wave forecast on her mobile phone, and changed her clothes in the dark after knowing that it was within the safety level tonight. He left behind his mobile phone and bank card that could easily reveal his whereabouts. He only took the wallet containing the cash and went downstairs lightly, avoiding the surveillance at the gate, and turned over the backyard wall.

It was not raining much, just light rain, and there were street lights on both sides of the road. Yu Chu was already familiar with the road to the pier. After walking for a while, he saw the lights of the pier and the shadows of several boats.

There were a lot of people on the dock tonight, unloading on a cargo ship, but everything was as Yu Chu guessed, although there were many people, it was actually messy, and no one noticed his trace .

He took a chance, walked through the dark woods beside the pier, sneaked to the farthest boat, and hid quietly.

This is a kayak similar to a lifeboat, which is tied to an iron stake on the outermost side of the pier and rises and falls with the waves.

The cargo on the cargo ship was not much, and it was quickly emptied, and those people began to return to their accommodation one after another. The dormitory building of the thugs was not far from the main building of Yujiabao, and Yu Chu listened to their eloquent voices and gradually disappeared until they finally disappeared.

It rained heavily, and the rest of the staff on duty also entered the small building, and there was no one on the dock. Yu Chu got up from the bushes where he was hiding, ran quickly across the beach, and got on the kayak.

He knew that there were more than ten kilometers from the island to the shore, and it would take two hours to paddle by kayak. He untied the rope of the tethered boat, felt the wood pulp hanging on the side of the boat, and shoved into the water, and the boat slipped into the sea like a swimming fish.

As the distance gets farther and farther, Xingyuan Island gradually shows its complete outline, like the skeleton of a stranded giant whale, huge and hideous. Continuing to move forward, the skeleton became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared in the darkness.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the sea is also surging with waves, and the kayak rises and falls on the waves with a bit of an arc. After Yu Chu connected for half an hour, both arms were sore and soft, and they had to rest for a while. Anyway, in the middle of the night, no one would find him leaving the residence, so he simply put down the pulp, pulled out the life jacket under the seat and put it on, and then kneaded his shoulders against the body of the boat.

Wait for a short rest, then pick up the paddle and continue to row forward.

When he came out, he had checked the weather, and these winds and waves would not overturn his boat. But the weather at sea is unpredictable, and there will always be times when the forecast is inaccurate, so you can speed up the speed.

You can worry about anything, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, and it has exceeded the forecast level. The kayak was rolled up and dropped by the surf, completely out of control. Yu Chu fell forward unsteadily. When he grabbed the side of the boat, the oar in his hand fell into the sea. He hurriedly rushed to the side of the boat to fish, but watched the oar was swept away by a wave.

Fuck! He cursed inwardly, and had to hold on to the handle beside him to stabilize his body so that he would not be thrown into the sea. But the situation was worse than the current one, he had also encountered it in the past, so although the kayak was tossed by the waves and was about to tip over halfway, he remained calm.

There was a hazy black shadow in front of the left. According to the distance and size, he judged that it was a small piece of land exposed to the sea, and was ready to swim there once it fell into the sea. But looking at the direction of the wave, it should be against the current, and I don't know if I can reach it safely.

What the **** is this weather forecast! Yu Chu cursed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the engine's motor, faintly mixed in the wind and waves. He was wondering if he had heard it wrong, and the voice became clear, it was indeed the engine motor.

He followed the sound and saw two bright beams, penetrating the thick darkness and rain curtain, and a speedboat was breaking through the huge waves, rushing towards him.

The speedboat came from the direction of Xingyuan Island, Yu Chu's first reaction was that Yu Shiqing discovered that he had left the island, but then he realized that something was wrong. There was only one boat, and there was only a figure on it, but his eyes were illuminated by the light, so he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came.

The speedboat rushed to the side of the kayak and stopped, and the people on the boat stretched out their right hand to Yu Chu, who was half-squatting on the kayak, and shouted loudly: "Come up!"

It turned out to be Zhou Mu's voice.

When Yu Chu saw it was him, his heart dropped a little, and mixed emotions that he couldn't explain also surged up. Being discovered by Zhou Mu, he must not be able to escape this time, but he was able to come alone to prove that he did not tell Yu Shiqing that he had secretly left the island.

But now he can't bear to think about it, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, the kayak is in danger, and it is about to be overturned by the waves. The speedboat couldn't get too close, Zhou Mu struggled to control the direction, raised his foot and kicked a thick rope over: "Catch it."

Yu Chu grabbed the thick rope in the air, jumped into the sea before the next wave hit, and swam along the thick rope to the speedboat.

Zhou Mu leaned over and grabbed one of his arms and lifted it up, with a clatter, Yu Chu was carried on the boat by the arm with the sea water flowing all over his body. At the same time as he plunged into the hull, the speedboat accelerated and charged forward like an arrow.

Yu Chu raised his head and looked back, and saw that the kayak had been overturned by the waves, buckled upside down in the sea and swept away into the distance.

"Grasp the handrail." Zhou Mu shouted again.

Yu Chu sat up, panting and grasping the handrail on the boat. He soon discovered that the speedboat did not return to Xingyuan Island, but was heading towards the land he had just seen.

The wind and waves were raging, and where the lights of the speedboat shone, the sea water was dark and bottomless, like a roaring and angry giant beast, opening its hideous mouth, trying to devour everything.

Yu Chu felt a little bit of fear, thinking that if Zhou Mu didn't come, he might not be able to swim to the land, or he might drown in the sea. I don't know if it really died so silently, or if it will return to the original world...

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Mu who was driving the speedboat.

The speed of the speedboat is not comparable to that of a kayak, and it only took a few minutes to reach the land. The two worked together to fix the speedboat on a big rock, making sure that it would not be swept away by the waves, so they walked to the island.

Zhou Mu walked in front with a flashlight, and Yu Chu followed closely behind him. This area was full of jagged rocks and it was very difficult to walk. Zhou Mu's legs are long and his feet are fast, so he can easily lift those rocks. But Yu Chu couldn't do it. He followed very reluctantly, plus the wind, rain and darkness, he stumbled and fell several times.

Zhou Mu clearly heard the movement behind him, but he didn't look back once, he just continued to move forward. Yu Chu didn't snort, got up and caught up with the figure in front.

When Zhou Mu stopped, Yu Chu found that he had entered a naturally formed cave. The cave was only half the size of a room, and because it was not deep, some raindrops slanted in from the cave entrance and wet the ground.
