Chapter 145: The Dark Path [Second Update]

Of course, she would never mention these words to Zheng Fei, she would only let them rot in her stomach, because Zheng Fei's current image is that of an inspector.

Sitting under the trees, the moonlight spilling down, and the sound of crickets in the grass made the late night less silent.

Scarlett pressed her face to her knees, tossing the green grass under her feet, and remained silent.

But from her reactions, Zheng Fei was able to read a lot of valuable information.

She said that she was the daughter of a prisoner, so she must have not come to the island of her own free will, perhaps because of her father, or because she was born here.

He knew that taking prisoners across the ocean to reclaim uninhabited land was a common occurrence in the European Middle Ages, and could even be called a large-scale migration, most notably Australia, which began as a place of exile for prisoners and developed into a prosperous country in the twenty-first century.

From Scarlett's helpless eyes, he saw a desire for freedom.

He didn't plan to confess now, that would probably put himself in danger, after all, there were hundreds of troops stationed nearby, and his base camp was still dozens of kilometers away, if his identity was revealed, in case Scarlett was not as he thought, it would be a big trouble.

He also understands that if he doesn't confess, Scarlett won't be able to tell the truth.

To confess or not to confess, that's a question.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing a little cold, coupled with the long silence, both of them were a little sleepy, and went back to the house to sleep, after all, they had to take care of themselves after fighting for so long at night.

Oh, before going to bed, Scarlett warmed a bowl of goat's milk for him very kindly.

The next day, early in the morning.

It wasn't early in the morning, the sun was already high, and the herders and milkers were already at work, and the tranquil pastures were busy again.

Ares and Santiago took the sailors to run circles around the ranch, which was a good habit trained by Zheng Fei, running a few kilometers in the morning and refreshed all day.

On the other hand, it is also convenient for this group of rough men to attract the attention of the girls, and it is easier to win the hearts of the girls if they run fast and have good endurance.

They were full of energy, scrambling to catch up with each other, Zheng Fei had never seen them fight so hard.

After a simple breakfast, a glass of milk and a few slices of butter bread, Scarlett was going to take them to other places to visit the industry, Zheng Fei began to think about how to let her confide in her without revealing her identity?

The last industry is the military industry.

This time, Zheng Fei only took San Diego, leaving the sailors to help in the ranch and pick up girls by the way.

Riding horses, through endless meadows, over a gently sloping hill, wading through a few streams, and finally through a field of delightful violet flowers, they came to the sea cliffs.

Scarlett stopped on her horse, and the sea breeze ruffled her long flowing hair, which made Santiago's mouth water.

Standing here, you can see the silver-white sandy beach, extending into the distance, the light green sea water washes on the beach, sending some small fish and shrimp, the sea and the sky reflect each other, beautiful, very Maldivian feeling.

There were two paths in front of them, one a wide avenue that had been built, and the other a path in the woods, dark and deep, as if a bear would pounce at any moment.

Scarlett blew the wind for a while, enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the sea for a while, took a sip of wine like a man, winked and smiled: "Follow me!"

With that, she led her horse towards the avenue.

"Isn't it okay to go over there?" Zheng Fei stared at the path curiously, faintly feeling that there was a sense of mystery.

Scarlett shook her head and said, "That's not a road, it's been trampled out by a wild beast." ”

"I want to go in and have a look. He grinned, and raised his feet to go inside.

"Hey!" In a hurry, Scarlett panicked and hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't go in, it's dangerous!"

He paused, turning his head to look into her eyes, which she avoided, seeming a little cramped.

After a moment of stalemate, he shrugged his shoulders in relief and said with a smile: "Thank you for caring about me, I won't go in." ”

Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Come with me, take you to visit the military industry, it is guaranteed to surprise you." ”

He nodded, and when she turned around, he glanced at Santiago, and said in a low tone, "I'll attract her attention, you go and have a look in the path." ”

"Huh?" Santiago was puzzled and said, "It's such a big hole, maybe it's a bear, I can't beat that guy." ”

"Trust me, it's definitely not a beast, this rifled gun is for you, whatever you see in it, you have to quickly withdraw and find me, understand?"

"I seem to get it"

"Ahem, you guy, when can you be serious?"

"Cut, it's the men you say are not serious that are likable!"

"I'm only not serious in front of the girl, okay, go quickly!"

At this time, Scarlett twisted her eyebrows and turned around and said, "What are you doing, you still haven't followed." ”

Zheng Fei finally glanced at Santiago, then quickened his pace and said, "It's coming, it's coming!"

He and Scarlett walked side by side, chatting as they went, which distracted her from Santiago's movements.

What would appeal to her the most? Storytelling, of course, a story that girls loved, and so he retold the classic film "Roman Holiday" from memory, just as he had done in Atlanta and at Pars Manor.

She listened fascinated, because the heroine was Princess Anne, and in the Middle Ages, what girl could not have a princess dream?

Halfway through the story, the munitions factory arrived, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelled from a distance, and when I looked up, I saw many porters holding boxes, laboriously walking along the edge of the sea cliff, and after a short rest, the overseer's whip would be ushered in.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Fei frowned and said, "They are slaves?"

"In fact, everyone is a slave in the world. Scarlett said flatly, with no sympathy for these people in her eyes, only the usual indifference.

"Hey, I don't see you're still a philosopher. Zheng Fei joked, looking at surprise.

She pursed her lips and beckoned to the overseer, shouting, "Kerry, come here!"

Overseer Kerry didn't dare to snub the prince's appointed island boss, so he quickly ran over and sneered, "Miss Scarlett, what do you command?"

"Someone to clean up the warehouse, I'm going to take the inspector to see what was produced last quarter. ”

"Okay. The overseer glanced at Zheng Fei in awe and ran away.

At this moment, Zheng Fei was not interested in shells or anything at all, his mind was not here.

After about five minutes, he was interested. (To be continued.) )
