47 [Chapter 47^1] The Xiang family of Western Chu

Leng Xiaotai had a dream.

He dreamed that he was standing in the middle of the street, surrounded by a thick yellow-green gas, like heavy chemical pollution, and every breath was accompanied by a burning pain. He walked numbly through the smoke of low visibility, past the hospital, past the elementary school, and the sound of people wailing and falling to the ground was constantly in his ears. The scene in front of me is like an oil painting in yellow-green tones, with hideous human shadows everywhere. Some struggled to pass by themselves, some fell at their feet in response, Leng Xiaotai looked sideways indifferently, looked at the corpse at his feet, and couldn't help frowning-Is this the island?

At this time, Leng Xiaotai heard the footsteps slowly approaching him, he turned his head, and through the yellow-green eyes, he saw the outline of the oncoming man - it was a young man who was only about twelve years old, wearing light single clothes and bare feet. He breathed steadily, his expression was indifferent, his head was lowered, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, which never fluttered at all times, and his eyes did not blink, out of place with the walking dead around him.

"Min..." Leng Xiaotai stopped talking, watching the young man silently walk past him, as if he couldn't see him.

Leng Xiaotai hurriedly turned around and found a young man standing not far behind him, the young man's pace was still the same, the man waited silently, and finally, the young man stopped in front of the man. Leng Xiaotai looked at this scene dumbly, and saw that the man raised his hand and slowly held the young man's chin, the man had a pair of smiling eyes, and he narrowed slightly at the moment when he saw the young man's face, but there was no trace of laughter.

Suddenly, Leng Xiaotai felt a chill on his forehead, and he was full of excitement, and suddenly opened his eyes. The blurred vision began to focus, and he saw Lanche looking down at his face.

"I..."Leng Xiaotai opened his mouth with a thick nasal voice.

Before he could think about what to say, a cherry was stuffed into Leng Xiaotai's mouth, and Lanche said, "Are you sober?" The ship was about to dock. ”

Leng Xiaotai held the cherry in his mouth and looked blankly at the starry sky. He found that he had fallen asleep at some point, and he slept into the night in a groggy state. Lanche sat on the side of the deck bench, and he was resting on Lanche's leg, bent on one leg on the bench.

There was a small plastic bowl on his chest with some washed cherries in it, and Lanche squinted at the lights on the shore, and his cold fingers lifted Leng Xiaotai's forehead and stroked it along the gap between his foreheads. This move was ambiguous for Leng Xiaotai, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and at some point, the tacit understanding between him and Lanche was established silently.

The sea breeze caressed and blew Leng Xiaotai's heart was relaxed. He relaxed physically and mentally, and he didn't know what was slipping off his belly, making a muffled sound, Leng Xiaotai just wanted to look sideways, but Lanche suddenly bent down and picked up the thing. Lanche's chest leaned towards Leng Xiaotai's face, and the pendant around his neck was attached to Leng Xiaotai's forehead, cold and cold. Lan Che straightened up and put the thing on Leng Xiaotai's stomach again, letting it obediently rise and fall with Leng Xiaotai's breathing.

Leng Xiaotai: "What's it?"

Lanche: "The journal you brought back. ”

Leng Xiaotai raised his eyebrows, if it weren't for the fact that he would be dizzy and nauseous as soon as the boat opened, he wanted to read the diary for the first time, "Have you read it?" ”

Lanche nodded. Leng Xiaotai slept on his lap for a while, and Lanche was bored, so he scribbled through the journal. He put his hand on Leng Xiaotai's mouth, Leng Xiaotai turned his head tacitly, and spit the cherry pit in his mouth on Lanche's palm, "What did you say?" Leng Xiaotai asked.

"That ship is no ordinary passenger ship." Lanche pondered for a moment, "I'll start with you." ”

Thirty years ago, there was indeed a family force that imprisoned a large number of criminals of bad character on this island. There are two wavelengths in the human soul that are the most observable and controllable, the sin wavelength and the pain wavelength. In addition to the oppressive life on the island, the perpetrators also faced physical and mental torture during the experiment. Most people are paralyzed by drugs to survive in this twisted living environment, with people dying every day, their bodies missing, and before long, a new boatload of 'garbage' is dumped on the island.

The island continued to operate in an orderly manner under the expectation of the latter, until thirteen years ago, when the laboratory exploded.

"Isn't there a lot of toxic gas leaking?" Leng Xiaotai interjected nervously.

Lanche took a cherry in his hand and put it in Leng Xiaotai's mouth, "The diary does mention that the whole island is covered with yellow-green polluting gas, and that explosion is very serious, and it is bound to attract the attention of the outside world. ”

"Has the matter on the island been revealed?!" Leng Xiaotai asked.

Lanche took three cherries and plugged them into Leng Xiaotai's mouth this time, and continued, "Before this, Xiaodao has been disguised as a person who lives and works in peace, and if all kinds of relationships are dredged up, few people will ask about it. But that explosion involved a large-scale poison gas leak, and the relevant departments will definitely come to investigate. So the gang immediately sent a boat to the scene, and the one you see in the grotto is. ”

Leng Xiaotai chuckled in his heart, his eyes widened, Lan Che chuckled, and his fingers picked up a strand of Leng Xiaotai's hair and played with it, "With the concentration of that poisonous gas, almost all the people on the island are dead, and the reason why they sent the boat is just to find the lucky ones who survived in the corpses all over the ground..."

Leng Xiaotai puffed out his mouth full of cherries and said indistinctly, "Save people? ”

Lanche shook his head, "Silence."

Hearing this, Leng Xiaotai felt a chill in his heart. Originally, the spread of poisonous gas to the whole island was already like the end of the world, and even the ships that came ashore at the first time were not to save them, but to investigate one by one and clean up the mouth. It's a great thing to do.

As if seeing through Leng Xiaotai's thoughts, Lanche added, "What's more, the ship was in distress on the way back, looking at the handwriting in the grotto, it should have been wiped out twice, and none of the people sent out came back." ”

Suddenly, Leng Xiaotai seemed to remember something, and sat up suddenly, "Is there any mention in the diary of a teenager who is about twelve years old?" ”

Lan Che obviously didn't expect Leng Xiaotai to suddenly say such a thing, and this sentence corresponded to the content of the diary, he nodded a little stunned, and said, "Yes." The diary only mentions that the boy was the only survivor who was picked up by 'that person' and brought back with him as an exception. ”

"That person..."Leng Xiaotai muttered in his heart, "Is that smiling man in the dream?"

According to Leng Xiaotai's guess, the accident of the ship was caused by the man and the boy, and when he left the island and returned, the whole ship was sealed into the grotto, and the man took the boy to abandon the ship. As for the news of the gas leak, since that man can even play with human spirits, it is not impossible to cover up these crimes. Even if some people heard it at the time, remembered it, and posted it on the Internet, but today, thirteen years later, it will only be regarded as crazy words by netizens to spread rumors.

Leng Xiaotai dared to guess so firmly, but it was just because he knew both the man and the boy.

He bit his lower lip and was silent for a while, then let go of his lips, "Did the diary mention what the boy's name was?" ”

At this time, the door of the cabin was opened, and Qian Duoduo popped up from inside and reminded, "The ship is docked, you two come in and pack your luggage and get off the boat." ”

Lanche nodded in thanks and placed the log on Leng Xiaotai's leg, "I didn't look closely, you can read it yourself." ”

...

At 8:20 p.m., the ship docked at the port of a second-tier city. The crew stayed in a five-star hotel near the port, Leng Xiaotai took a simple shower, and at nine o'clock on time, the Manchu and Han seats on the top floor were waiting.

This meal is of great significance, not only to celebrate the successful recording of the first three episodes, but also to the people who escaped from the storm. The most important thing is that Li Dadong, who is responsible for paying out of his pocket, is still there, and Director Wu's knife for slaughtering sheep has already been sharpened, so it is naturally all expensive.

When Leng Xiaotai arrived, the hall was almost full, except for the empty seat next to Lanche, so he walked straight over, sat down beside Lanche, and looked up to Li Fei.

After half a month, the crew has become very familiar, and there are no polite words at the dinner table, but they are happily gag. I don't know who asked at the table, "Director Wu, whose property is the island we went to this time?" ”

His voice was mixed in many people's voices, and Leng Xiaotai heard it clearly. He immediately pricked up his ears and listened to Director Wu hesitantly reply, "This... It is a real estate developer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang..."

Real estate developers? Who is it?

Director Wu pondered for a moment and smashed his mouth, "I want to say... This isolated island amusement park is not a small industry, from buying an island to building a large number of buildings, the money thrown into it is not a small amount. But then the amusement park turned yellow, and no one cared about it there, and this rich businessman didn't expect to be so rich and rich. ”

As soon as Lao Wu said this, the people at the table became even more curious, and they all wanted to hear the name of this rich businessman and have a long insight.

At this time, Li Fei suddenly spoke, "Xiang family." ”

"Xiang family? That Xiang family in Xichu? Big Wave interjected, "Isn't it a real estate developer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" If it's the Xiang family, how could we not know? ”

It's no wonder that the big waves reacted violently, after all, the Xiang family and Dongtang in Li Yuan's mouth are really familiar with each other.

Xi Chu, a good friend of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. The reason why they are good friends is because this pair of industry ssangyong, who seem to kill each other, are actually two bandit leaders who are rampage around. Like Dongtang, Xichu Entertainment is only a side branch of the Xiang Group, and there is a larger industrial background after that.

Li Fei put the soup bowl on the table with a sip, and slowly pulled a paper towel, "It's no wonder you don't know, the owner of the amusement park is a real estate developer on the surface, and I also checked the flow of funds, only to find that the money was taken from the Xiang family's account." ”

"That..."Da Lang was still puzzled, "What did the Xiang family do deliberately borrowing someone else's name?" ”

At this time, Qian Duoduo, who was also from a big capital family, said with a smile, "The Xiang family must have his intentions in doing this." Brother Li, since your family and the Xiang family are world friends, why do you have to talk about things so casually? ”

Qian Duoduo is right, the Xiang family's big move must not want others to know that the amusement park is his family's industry. The Li family has a deep relationship with the Xiang family, and Li Fei really shouldn't have said this matter easily at the wine table.

Li Fei raised his eyes and smiled at Qian Duoduo with a flat expression, "I'm curious about what he is doing to hide this." ”

Hearing this, Leng Xiaotai still had a question that he wanted to confirm, but he didn't think much about it, and opened his mouth to Li Fei and said, "Li Fei, do you know who the Xiang family bought the island from?" ”

Li Fei obviously didn't expect Leng Xiaotai to take the initiative to talk to him, so he first paused imperceptibly, slowly turned his head, and cast a meaningful look at Leng Xiaotai - I'll tell you when you come to my room tonight.

The corners of Leng Xiaotai's mouth grinned, he didn't smile, and silently fxxk Li Fei in his heart.
