Chapter 122 The Haunted Island
Well, a luxury yacht, Lin Xue's own luxury yacht. This "yacht" that can almost be classified as a medium-sized ship is said to be a birthday gift specially customized for her by her father last year...
Since we didn’t want our rare adventure to be interfered with by irrelevant people, we didn’t bring anyone with us—including the necessary staff on the yacht. Fortunately, for Pandora and Little Bubbles, such a simple mechanical thing was not easy to operate at all. Due to the difficulty, the two of them temporarily played the roles of captain, helmsman, engineer, and... At the same time, Pandora also assumed the function of super radar to help us find that small island in the corner of nowhere.
What I want to say is that it’s so funny how two little guys over one meter serious about sailing a boat, especially when Pandora stood in front and said with a serious expression: "Go at full speed!" Then Little Bubbles snuggled along. He agreed without hesitation while stepping on a stool behind the console to reach the messy buttons and joysticks. It was really full of comedy no matter how you looked at it...
"Ah...the sea..." It was Qianqian's first time to ride on such a high-end gadget. Looking at the sea scenery that was completely different from the one on the beach, she couldn't help but excitedly leaned on the railing and went crazy at the waves, while I was cautious. He grabbed the collar of her clothes to prevent this crazy girl who looked like a country bumpkin from going to town from falling - even though with her ability she could completely ignore such a danger.
"I guess that Liu Zicai is just a rich country man in your eyes." I lifted Qian Qian down from the railing for the fourth time while sighing at this luxurious mechanical gadget. "It turns out that I thought that guy's The family is considered to be extremely wealthy, but now look at your yacht - I think it would make Liu Zicai feel so ashamed that he would drown himself in the river..."
"That's not the case," Lin Xue stood next to me in standard jungle adventure equipment, looking as heroic as a jungle warrior. "The Liu Zicai family is actually quite a powerful force. It's just that the Ding family and the Lin family moved like this." The super family that can make the whole world tremble is a bit out of place in comparison, but in terms of development prospects, their family has a bright future. As long as Liu Zicai has a little bit of ability, it is possible for the Liu family to become an important family in China. Perhaps it was also because of this that Uncle Ding agreed to his pursuit of Ding Ling - but judging from Ding Ling's attitude, she completely regarded Liu Zicai as a toy. That was true. Liu Zicai's character was somewhat rumored in the outside world. Although Ding Ling Uncle may not know it very well, but that ghost Ding Ling must know a lot. That ghost girl who has no profit and cannot afford to get up early will never find a fire pit and jump by herself."
I am now very interested in the secrets of these big families mentioned by Lin Xue. I am very curious whether such big families are really as strict and lifeless as mentioned in the book. When I raised this question, Lin Xue Xue's face has obviously changed, but I can't tell whether it's happy or unhappy. How should I put it, there seem to be very...complicated emotions in it.
"Compared to you, Ding Ling and I's childhood was indeed a bit boring." For the first time, Lin Xue's face no longer had a playful expression, but instead wore a smile that was unfamiliar to me, a kind of well-received smile. The temperament of a well-educated lady has magically appeared in Lin Xue. "From a very young age, we have to learn a lot of things we don't like, meet people we don't like, and we have to be surrounded all the time. Others remind you to pay attention to etiquette, pay attention to words, pay attention to many, many things, but over time you will get used to it. When people gain something, they will definitely lose something. This is not unfair to us, and now think about it, It didn't seem that bad when I was a child - my parents loved us very much, and although they were strict, the elders in the family were actually kind most of the time. Although they couldn't go out and play around at any time like other children, the elders We always try our best to arrange entertainment activities for us under permissible conditions - although I don't like it, haha. In addition, the lifeless family rules you think of do not exist. There are rules, but ours The family is not from the old feudal era. Take Ding Ling for example. Although Uncle Ding seems to have arranged for her and Liu Zicai to be together, if she is not willing, Liu Zicai will not have any chance at all, let alone anything. Situations of forced marriage have appeared, and since we have grown up, the family's control over us, the younger generations, has also been relaxed. Before inheriting our share of the family business, we can freely arrange our own lives."
Lin Xue finished such a long call in one breath, and seemed to be relieved. She relaxed all of a sudden, and the cheerful smile appeared on her face again, as if the lady just now was completely my imagination.
"I feel much better after talking so much," Lin Xue laughed and patted me twice on the shoulder, "It seems that wood also has its benefits. At least you can listen carefully when I speak, no. As for the guy like Ding Ling who interrupts me every three seconds, what else do you want to know now? I am in a good mood now, so I will reluctantly answer you once!"
I slapped Lin Xue's hand that was slapping my shoulder away, raised a finger and said, "Just a question: Since the discipline at home was so strict when you were a child, how did you have such a secret childhood base? Is it possible? When you and Lin Feng were young, you used to drive a yacht and stay away from home?"
I'm really curious about this question. According to what Lin Xue said, apart from the various gatherings arranged at home, she and Lin Feng didn't have many opportunities to go out and play when they were young. So this "secret base" far away in the depths of the ocean is It's a bit unbelievable... Ahem, in fact, no matter what, the secret base of the two children actually needs to be reached by yacht. This is a bit difficult to understand. Could it be that Lin Xue, a super troublesome aggregate, had something that caused all kinds of problems when he was young? The ability to do incredible things? So that she and her brother could be involved in a bloody plot like Desert Island Survival at any time while they were locked up at home?
Lin Xue also imitated me and wagged her fingers in front of my eyes, and said with a proud smile: "This is easy to understand, because the island we are going to and even the surrounding islands are the private property of our Lin family. Those grandpas won’t care about what you do in your own back garden~~”
Qian Qian, who was lying on the railing facing the sea with all kinds of flowers blooming, suddenly froze in place, and then with a plop... fell backwards on the deck.
"The most evil rich man!"
I helped Qian Qian up distressedly, and while rubbing her head, I sighed loudly. Such a super family is really rich. The so-called world's richest people who are publicly known to the public are compared with these super rich people. After all, they are working class people!
Qianqian hugged my arm, eyes full of little stars, and said with longing: "It turns out to be a private island, how many three-bedrooms and one living room can be built?"
"What an evil rich man!" I said distressedly, rubbing Qian Qian's head again, while comforting the girl in front of me who had three bedrooms and one living room as her ultimate goal in life: "Good boy, I'll let Little Paopao make you a baby in two days. Faith level, that thing is definitely bigger than Lin Xue’s island. When the time comes, I will dismantle all the naval guns and build them into three rooms and one living room for you..."
Lin Xue's proud smile suddenly stiffened, and after a moment, she sighed in the exact same tone as me: "What an evil rich man..."
More than two hours later, a group of rich people like us, who were already suffering from boredom, finally landed on the shore.
An uninhabited island, this was my first impression of the island that Lin Xue said had been a secret base for her and Lin Feng.
The area of this island is actually not small, with a radius of about ten kilometers. Most of the entire island is covered by lush forests. The forests are full of thick fallen leaves and rotten branches. There are no traces of human activities at all. That's why I said this is an uninhabited island.
In fact, there are indeed no humans living here. Not only Lin Xue promised, but even Pandora's life radar did not detect the presence of humans other than us on the island.
But Lin Xue told us that there was a huge house in the middle of the island.
We decided to camp on the shore for one night. When preparing dinner, Lin Xue said to us: "No one knows why there is such an abandoned house on the island. Although this is our family's property, in fact we I got this island more than 20 years ago. The former owner was an old foreign nobleman. He had a deep relationship with my grandfather and even gave this island to me before he died. Grandpa, but I don’t know why, grandpa has never sent anyone to check this place, and also strictly prohibits other people in the family from getting close... Damn wood, no matter what you look at, I don’t believe that you were always well-behaved when you were a child! Anyway, this lady is born Being smart, it’s not a trivial matter to trick the two stupid stewards in the family into secretly bringing me and my brother over to play..."
"Anyway, my brother and I secretly came here when we were children, and we also discovered something amazing - the big house on the island!"
"Then what?" We were completely attracted by the story told by Lin Xue and asked one after another. When I saw that she was still trying to sell her off, I immediately used my super kill method: I hugged the girl next to me who was staring curiously at the barbecue grill and drooling. Little Bubble looked at Lin Xue with a pair of shining star eyes. Little Bubble cooperated very well and immediately showed a very curious and eager to listen expression - okay, I admit, Little Bubble is like this most of the time. Secondary expression...
Lin Xue glared at me with contempt, and then said simply: "No more!"
"Huh?" we collectively said, and even Pandora, who had been pretending not to be interested, couldn't help but lean forward.
"It just disappeared. How old were my brother and I at that time! Of course we were scared, and the two family members who brought us here were also afraid of something happening, so they took us back quickly. Later, my brother and I were beaten by our grandfather... ..." Lin Xue said in a reluctant tone, seeming to feel disappointed for the expedition that was abandoned halfway, and then she continued: "But, I secretly heard other elders in the clan talking about - that house, as early as The island was demolished once when it was first handed over to grandpa!”
