Relying on Liang
Chapter 54
The moment the hand was placed on the shoulder, the exclamation was choked in his throat, Zhong Yunqing held his breath, his whole body stiffened, and a series of thrilling plots flashed through his mind, it cannot be blamed for his rich imagination, it is really the current situation. The environment and atmosphere are too suitable for the situation in the horror movie.
The neck was as stiff as clockwork, Zhong Er slowly turned his head back, in the dimly lit wine cellar, when he saw the pale old face emerging from the shadows, his tensed shoulders immediately collapsed as if he lost his strength.
"What are you doing here?" Withdrawing his hand, the voice of the old butler of the mansion was calm, and his expression didn't seem to show much surprise when Zhong Yunqing appeared here.
"Well..." Scratching his head, Zhong Er's eyes wandered, and he glanced around the wine cellar, "I was just wandering around, and came here before I knew it..."
Guilty tone, lame excuses, unless he is blind, anyone can see that Zhong Yunqing is lying, let alone the old housekeeper who knows this house better than anyone else.The old man unexpectedly did not expose Zhong Er's lie, he held a bottle of wine in the other hand, his eyes were somewhat deep, he looked Zhong Yunqing up and down, and then his eyes stopped when Zhong Er held it in his hand and brought it down together In the picture book of fairy tales.
Seeing him staring at the book, Zhong Er hurriedly took the book and explained: "This is..."
"I know." The housekeeper interrupted Zhong Yunqing, a crack appeared in his always rigid and rigorous expression. He looked at the book in Zhong's second hand, just like looking at his own child, under the slightly drooping eyelids due to aging, even a flash of light appeared. Tears came out.
Zhong Yunqing was so dumbfounded that he couldn't believe his eyes.Is this still the arrogant butler grandpa who doesn't even change his face when he points a gun at his head?This style of painting is wrong!
"Everything is predestined..." Sighing deeply, when he saw this fairy tale book, the old man already had a solid idea of how Zhong Yunqing came down.Seeing Zhong Er looking at him with worried expression, the old butler's eyes became darker and darker. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "You go. Go on to the depths of the wine cellar, keep going, don't go turn back."
After all, this child is not like the young master. If the young master is the moon at night, then this child is born to be the shining sun during the day, and he will never become the second suzerain of the Lin family.
Now that the Lin family is gone, he, an old fool who has been deceiving himself and others for so many years, should wake up.
Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Zhong Yunqing had an incredulous look on his face.This bastard began to seriously suspect that the housekeeper had been transferred. Otherwise, he was so tight-lipped a few days ago, why did he suddenly make a 180-degree turn now?
"Hurry up," seeing that he was still standing still, the old housekeeper urged again: "Once he finds out that you are gone, he will get the news soon, let alone this island, the whole Qianlong City is his. Eyeliner, you don't have much time."
Who is this 'he', Zhong Er and the butler naturally know it well.
"Then you..." Zhong Er wanted to speak.
Shaking his head, he seemed to understand what he was worried about. A rare smile appeared on the butler's serious face, "Even if he knew that I let you go, he didn't dare to do anything to me."
Those who knew those things back then are dead and scattered, and now only his old bones are left.And the reason why he stayed here was nothing else, just to show the young master what happened to the people who betrayed him back then!
Ji Hongming and Ji Honglang, two white-eyed wolves who are unfamiliar with each other, now feel worse than death every day, and the young master should also smile and die in peace under the nine springs.
Zhong Yunqing was repeatedly urged by the housekeeper, as if a lost person suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. The excitement and enthusiasm in his heart could not be suppressed no matter what. In the direction of the wine cellar, he went to the deepest part of the wine cellar.
Running to the end, counting from left to right to the third wine rack, the fifth row of wine racks from bottom to top, and then counting from right to left, facing the third bottle of wine, Zhong Er stretched out his hand and pressed go down—
There was another bang, and the entire wine rack sank slowly, revealing a door leading to another flight of steps.
This time, Zhong Er walked in without the slightest hesitation.
The long rocky steps spiraled downwards. At first, at intervals, there would be a light to light up. As it went down, the lights disappeared, and so did the steps. They had probably reached the bottom and appeared in Zhong Yunqing’s In front of him was a narrow passage.
This passage is sandwiched by the rock walls on both sides, and the width is only enough for a single person to enter and exit. The faint light is shooting in from the other end.
After Zhong Er took a look, he walked in.He is thin, and there is still some room for walking this narrow path. If he were replaced by a big fat man, he would probably have to get stuck in it.Thinking of this possibility, even though he was in the process of running away nervously, the second guy Zhong Yunqing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Laughter passed back and forth on the mountain walls on both sides, and when the echo completely dissipated, Zhong Er also reached the end of this passage.
Drilling out of the crack-like passage, he is now in a huge cave.The salty sea breeze poured in from the entrance of the cave, making intermittent sounds like the roar of wild animals.The faint light that Zhong Er saw just now was also reflected from the sunlight outside the cave entrance onto the sea surface.
The entrance is connected to an underground river in the cave. Compared with the huge volume of the entire cave, the entrance of the cave is very narrow, half of which is exposed to the sea surface, and the remaining half is hidden under the water. If there is a high tide, it will be completely submerged by sea water. It can be called very hidden.
Walk down a section of reef steps that are close to the natural formation. At the end, on the ground and the walls of the cave, you can see many dried shell corals and white salt crystals. It should be the landscape caused by the tidal fluctuations year after year.
Looking around, Zhong Yunqing quickly saw the small speedboat tied to a stone pillar on the water.
Jumping into the cabin, he found the box in the mouth of the old housekeeper and opened it. Zhong Er quickly put on the life jacket, then took out the flashlight, map and an operation manual, and checked it quickly with the light of the sky and the flashlight outside.
The operation of this small speedboat is not complicated, you only need to remember a few simple steps and key points, and what is even more fortunate is that Half Moon Island is not too far away from the land.His palms were sweating, and after two failed attempts, Zhong Er successfully launched the speedboat on the third attempt, and the streamlined boat began to drive slowly along the dark river towards the entrance of the cave.
After successfully passing through the narrow hole, the waves beat against the cliffs and rocks, the sound of the wind passed through the ears and hair, and the vast blue sea and blue sky suddenly opened up to Zhong Er.
This long-lost expanse and freedom made him feel a little dazed for a moment, as unreal as a dream.
Is he... escaped?
Shaking his head, he turned his head to look at the hidden hole hidden behind a few rocks. His black eyes were shining brightly under the sunlight, and the smile that made people unable to look away grew bigger and brighter. Zhong Xiaoer With a complete cheer, he stepped up the accelerator and drove the speedboat like an arrow off the string, away from the entire island.
But having said that, Zhong Yunqing is a road idiot, let alone in the vast sea.
Although he had been carefully reminded by the steward that as long as he turned his back to the direction of Half Moon Island and sailed westward for about half an hour, he could see the outline of the land, but he was... lost.
Flying around on the sea like a headless fly, until the fuel of the speedboat was exhausted, there was still no shadow of the land.Zhong Xiaoer, who gave up on himself, simply turned off the fire, took out a pack of compressed biscuits and mineral water from the life-saving box in the cabin, and gnawed on it.If it were an ordinary person who lost his way at sea, his hair would have turned gray with worry, but as a bastard, um...that's how confident he is.
Perhaps Erhe Xingfu is a pair of good friends by nature, and there is always some kind of wonderful connection in the dark. When Zhong Yunqing finished eating a pack of compressed biscuits hungry, in the evening sunset, the golden-red broad sea is far away. A fishing boat sailed far away.
Squinting his eyes, he was sure it wasn't Ji Hongming's men chasing him, Zhong Er immediately stood up, took off his orange life jacket and waved it vigorously——
"Hahaha, you are really lucky! If you didn't meet us, you don't know where you would go!"
On the fishing boat, a group of bold and rough northern men heard Zhong Yunqing's slightly embellished lost passage, and they all slapped their legs and laughed loudly, calling Zhong Er a lucky star.Only then did Zhong Er realize how wrong he was this afternoon. Driving the speedboat, he almost drove from the near sea to the open sea!No wonder he was looking forward to seeing through, but he couldn't see the shadow of the land.
At this time, the flame-out speedboat was dragged by the cable, and the shrimp fishing boat was returning to Qianlong City with a full load.Tables and stools were set up on the deck, and there were big pots of potato stew, hot and sour fish, and several stacks of wine and side dishes. It was time for the fishermen on board to have dinner.
Zhong Er was surrounded by a group of people. He was not short, and he looked a little weak against the backdrop of the big men with broad arms and round waists around him.
He held a glass in his hand, which was poured for him by enthusiastic fishermen.The wine was not a good wine, just ordinary and cheap Erguotou, but seeing those straightforward eyes and smiling faces, Zhong Er was also smiling, and took a big gulp of the wine in his glass.
"Okay! Come, come, drink more, you're welcome!"
Seeing that Zhong Er didn't even frown, he drank very happily, and the people around him looked at this young man who was more handsome than the older girl, and their favorability increased even more.For these fishermen who rely on their strength to make a living at sea, being able to drink is a friend worth making!
The folk customs in the Northland are tough, especially in Qianlong City, a city where you chase me and slash on the streets every day. Even the elders in their [-]s and [-]s in the teahouse can scream and shout like a group of punks holding watermelon knives. , without changing face, continue to drink tea and listen to books calmly.
Seeing that Zhong Yunqing was a foreigner, on the fishing boat, a group of people were happily drinking and eating meat, while talking to him about the unique folk customs of Qianlong City, which is hard to find in the whole of China.
While talking, the topic changed to not long ago, when several bigwigs on the road suddenly formed an alliance, and they got into a fight with the Ji family brothers who are now overshadowing the sky with one hand.The friction between the two sides continued, and there were several firefights one after another. One of the Ji family brothers was injured and almost died, but the bullet missed by half an inch.
The fishermen spoke vividly, and when Ji Hongming's name popped out of someone else's mouth, Zhong Er's little heart jumped with fright, and his head, which was a little dizzy from the alcohol, immediately sobered up—he At this moment, they have not completely escaped from the clutches of the enemy. When they land on the shore, they have to notify Lei Zhen and the others immediately.At least report for safety first, and then find a way to look back at Haishi.
But what Zhong Xiaoer didn't know was that Lei Zhen, whom he was thinking of, had already secretly arrived in Qianlong City at this moment.For him, Lei Zhen and several of his cronies are going all out, planning to forcibly land on the island, and are going to compete with Ji Hongming for someone.
Not long after the front foot left, Ji Hongming was so angry that he vomited blood when he received the news of Zhong Yunqing's escape.In a fit of rage, he immediately issued an order to block the entire city.Helicopters and speedboats searched back and forth for an afternoon near the waters between Half Moon Island and the mainland, and did not remove them until it was confirmed that the people had landed.
Fate is so wonderful.
If Zhong Yunqing hadn't lost his way on the sea, if he hadn't headed towards the open sea which completely runs counter to the land, maybe at this moment, he would have been packed by Ji Hongming's men and sent back to the island.
Zhong Xiaoer, who has half of his talents and skills assigned to him, is such a lucky Max guy.
The neck was as stiff as clockwork, Zhong Er slowly turned his head back, in the dimly lit wine cellar, when he saw the pale old face emerging from the shadows, his tensed shoulders immediately collapsed as if he lost his strength.
