"Poof!"

A few minutes later, on the calm surface of the lake, a black thing suddenly poked out of the water, made a 'poof, puff, puff' sound, and slowly swam in the direction of the dinghy. 『』

Hang Xue really couldn't see what it was, thinking it was Ma Lie, but it was too dark to confirm whether it was him.

She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look directly, covered her eyes with her palms, and asked tremblingly, "Ma Lie, is it you?" ”

"Ma Lie, isn't it you?"

"Is that you, quick to reply?"

Hang Xue really shouted a few times, but the black thing didn't respond, and still kept moving slowly towards the boat.

She panicked all of a sudden, where had she seen such a strange thing in her usual life, and there was no one else present, so frightened that she lost her face, and hurriedly tightened to the innermost end of the boat, and kept praying in her heart: Don't come, don't come.

But the more she prayed, the more God refused to bless her. I saw that the dinghy suddenly tilted to the left, and a suspicious person grabbed the left sidebar of the dinghy with the palm of his hand, and then heard a 'whew', and a naked figure struggled to climb into the dinghy.

Hang Xuezhen screamed: "Ah, who are you? ”

"Whew......" The black shadow spit out a splash of water from his mouth, and waved his hand weakly: "Xue Zhen, don't scream, it's me?" ”

"Ma Lie...... Is it really you? Hang Xue really heard the voice of the black shadow, it was Ma Lie who she was looking forward to coming back.

"Are you alright?" In the few minutes he dived, Hang Xue really felt that it was like a few hours, for fear that something would happen to him in the water.

"I can dive, what can happen!" Ma Lie smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I didn't go down in vain this time, I discovered a secret. ”

Hang Xue was really taken aback when she heard this, and asked, "What did you find in the water?" ”

"Wait for me to catch my breath...... his body felt very tired from the long dive just now, spread his legs on the side of the dinghy, gasped for breath, and said: "The bottom of this lake is about ten meters deep, and under the lake, there seems to be a private space such as a tunnel or a dark room. ”

Hang Xue was really shocked: "Tunnel, what the hell is it?" ”

"I'm not sure what it is." Ma Lie Chu briefly recalled: "However, I touched several walls around me, and I almost caught a glimpse of me. The square space is supposed to be made of a thick glass wall separating the lake, about 25 meters high, and the area of this space is about 10 square meters. ”

Hang Xuezhen asked curiously: "How can there be such a thing under this lake?" ”

Ma Lie spread his hands and said, "I don't know, didn't your grandfather mention to you before that there was anything else at the bottom of the lake or in this island in the middle of the lake?" ”

"No......"

Hang Xue really muttered, secretly recalled, vaguely remembered that when her grandfather took her to the lake to relax, she seemed to have said a word, and said to herself: "Regarding the origin of this island in the middle of the lake, my grandfather seems to have said a word to me......"

Ma Lie asked urgently, "What are you talking about?" ”

Hang Xuezhen frowned and said, "He told me, what was this new lake called before..."

"Say no more!" Ma Lie interrupted: "The origin of this new lake, everyone on the earth knows, it used to be used by your Hang family to develop tourism, but later because of poor capital turnover, the plan was stranded, right?!" ”

"It's not those, let me think about it again!" Hang Xuezhen frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "My grandfather once told me that the origin of Xinhu Island is not the same as rumored by the outside world. ”

Ma Lie cooperated and asked, "So what is it?" ”

Hang Xuezhen said: "Actually, more than 30 years ago, our Hang family's headquarters was in Beijing. However, the climate and transportation in the capital are too poor. My grandfather was a very knowledgeable man, and he decided to relocate the Hang family to the south. ”

"The largest city in the south is Donghai City, whose economy is also just starting, which is just right for the Hangjia real estate business. Grandpa made a decision and moved his family here. ”

"After many investigations, my grandfather valued the environmental advantages of this new lake island, and intended to buy the island in the middle of the lake and the surrounding areas as a residential area for the Hang family."

"However, at that time, the land rights to Huxin Island were in the hands of the Donghai city government, and under normal circumstances, the government would not sell the land to private individuals for residential purposes."

Ma Lie suddenly said: "So, your grandfather bought this new lake island for the purpose of developing tourism?" ”

Hang Xuezhen nodded and said: "Almost, our Hang family bought a hundred years of Xinhu Island contracting rights, responsible for developing it into a tourism project, and later you all know that this tourism project was aborted because of fund problems, in fact, it is just an excuse for the Hang family to the outside world." ”

Ma Lie was stunned and said: "I know that your Hang family has been building according to the needs of the Hang family's residence from beginning to end, and you have never thought of developing it into a tourist attraction. ”

Hang Xue Zhen said: "Well, before the Hang family moved in, it turned out that there was no small island in this lake, and it was not called the island in the middle of the lake. ”

"I see!" Ma Lie guessed: "The layout inside and outside this island in the middle of the lake is all built by your Hang family, or by the old man, so to speak, the mysterious space under the lake may also be a private place built by your grandfather?" ”

Hang Xuezhen was also skeptical: "If there is really a secret place below, it is really possible that grandpa built it, then will grandpa hide underneath!" ”

"The secret passage, it should be in the castle......"

Ma Lie thought of the Hang family's Ziyuan Gong, according to the clues provided by Jiang Shen, the Hang family's Ziyuan Divine Gong was hidden in a very secret place, and only Old Man Hang knew about it. Hang Tianxiong and the others have been peeping at Zi Yuangong for a long time, but they still can't find Zi Yuangong's whereabouts.

Hang Xue Zhenjian said: "The castle is so big, how can you find it?" ”

Ma Lie pondered: "If the people guarding the mourning hall did not lie, the old man had only one possibility to leave the coffin and leave the mourning hall under their noses." I suspect that the secret passage must be near the mourning hall. ”

Hang Xue really suddenly said brightly: "Yes, let's go back and find out." ”

Ma Lie nodded: "Wait a minute, it was very dirty under the water just now, I'll take a bath by the way." After speaking, with a pop, he jumped into the water again, and a wave of water splashed on Hang Xuezhen's clothes......

A waning moon emerged from the clouds at the right time, giving them the light to see each other.

Ma Lie did not dive under the water again this time, but scrubbed his body on the side of the dinghy while looking at Hang Xuezhen on the boat.

She bent at the end of the dinghy, wearing only a light purple dress, and the bright moonlight shone on her body, like a fisherman girl under the moon, as delicate and hazy.

Hang Xuezhen lowered her head and saw him swimming in the water, but her mind came to mind Ma Liena's majestic body, and in the future, he might be her future husband.

Thinking of Ma Lie or **'s body under the water, she couldn't help but fly a red cloud on her face.

"Ma Lie, I'll help you wash ......"

She had never been out of the castle at night with a man, let alone up close to a bare-bottomed man. Fortunately, this man is his fiancé, and sooner or later the two will be so close to each other.

She has acquiesced.

But now is not the time, and she finds it even more interesting than shy. Holding the guardrail on the edge of the dinghy with his left hand, he bent down, and his right palm was just within reach of the rippling water, and then he pulled the water to Ma Lie and laughed: "It's so fun in the water." ”

Ma Lie stretched out his hand to resist the water point she poured and said, "I think it's fun, why don't you come down and play too?" ”

Hang Xue was really embarrassed and said, "I'...... I can't swim. ”

"I'll teach you......" Ma Lie blurted out, but he felt that at this time, the lonely men and widows were playing together, and there was inevitably physical contact, plus the night was too dark, the old man's accident and a series of problems, it was not good if there was an accident.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Well, forget it, the bottom of this lake is very deep, why don't I teach you another day." ”

"It's okay..."Hang Xue really can't swim, it's not that she hasn't thought about learning to swim before. It's just that she has an instinctive fear of water, and even if Ma Lie strongly invites her to go into the water, she doesn't dare to go down.

Unexpectedly, the more vigilant she was, the more unsteady her left wrist became, and as soon as her hand slipped, she fell into the water from the boat.

"Ah, Ma Lie, help!" Hang Xuezhen, who fell into the water, was like a landlubber, struggling desperately and screaming, choking the lake water into her mouth and swallowing it into her stomach.

Fortunately, she didn't endure this thrill for long, a strong and powerful hand had already hugged her waist and abdomen, and a thick male voice comforted her in her ear: Xue Zhen, don't be afraid, there is me!

As she spoke, she straightened up, her head was above the water, and she saw that it was Ma Lie who supported her.

She was frightened, like a monkey hugging a tree, and hugged Ma Lie's neck: "Quick, help me get it." ”

"You... You want to strangle me......" Ma Lie struggled to pull her wrist, and when she saw the usually cold and noble Miss Hang in the water, she couldn't help but laugh: "Xue Zhen, since you have come down, why don't you try to swim, and you will have a survival skill in the future." ”

Hang Xuezhen hurriedly shouted: "Don't, I'm afraid!" ”

Through the clothes, Ma Lie held her little waist and said, "Don't be afraid, I can teach you ......"

Hang Xue really reluctantly said: "Don't, I want to go up!" ”

Seeing her insistence like this, Ma Lie was no longer reluctant, and sighed: "Okay, you hold the dinghy first, and when I finish taking a bath, let's go up together!" ”

Hang Xuezhen shouted: "Don't, you push me up first." ”

Ma Lie asked suspiciously: "The boat is so high, how can you push it?" ”

"Stupid, you push me......" Hang Xue really blushed for a while, feeling that the other party seemed to have something hovering and shaking on the side of his thigh from time to time, frowning and said: "Push me there......"

Ma Lie asked, "Where?" ”

Hang Xuezhen gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Push me...... Hips there. ”
