Chapter 202 The Underground Dark River Doubts No Way Falling into the Cloud Ladder at the Critical Moment
George was terrified, his legs squeaking and screaming from the cold underground water. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. The bottom of the river is covered with polished stones, slippery and slippery if you are not careful. Overhead are stalactites formed by typical karst landforms, with different shapes, and a few drops of cold lime water dripping from the cold.
George instigated Lee Kwang Han to go to the front, and he followed closely behind, pulling the corners of Lee Kwang Han's clothes tightly.
"Elizabeth" looked at his cowardice, and said with a smile, "George, how have you forgotten that ladies come first, and that you still have the gentlemanly demeanor to throw me at the back." If they catch up, I'll be the first to take them out. ”
"It's impossible to catch up. This secret passage and underground river are only known to me and the butler William, and I haven't told the current butler Louie, let alone others. Who would have thought of a bell tower.
"Then if these men in black and William are in a group, William is bold and greedy, and took advantage of the chaos to steal the Dzi of the Law Eye to make huge profits, maybe he will be in collusion with the men in black now" "Elizabeth" disagreed.
"If William had returned, they would have found out where the safe was hidden, instead of wasting time trying to question me. Besides, William will definitely send someone to guard the entrance to the secret passage at the top of the bell tower, and we can't get close, how can we slide down so smoothly. "George was very sober at this time, and it was probably stimulated by the cold river water.
"That's good. George, do you wonder that Dr. Emmons came by chance at dinner yesterday, and that your new butler, Louie, seems to have known Dr. Emmons for a long time. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading. "Elizabeth" bluntly pointed out that Louis was doubtful.
George said, "Yes, I have sensed that Dr. Emmons has come to the manor on purpose to block you, and his attention is on Lee Kwang Han. I also found out that the manor has ghosts. Therefore, I deliberately asked Wei Jiajun to carry a lockbox after dinner to attract the attention of the inner ghost, and sure enough, Wei Jiajun encountered a robbery on the mountain road. This shows that the inner ghost is ventilating the news. Uh, why do you doubt Louie"
Louis saw in the drawing-room that Dr. Emmons' car had come in through the gate of the manor, and before he had reached the gate of the castle, he was ready to go out with an umbrella to meet him; When he reached the table, he diligently pulled out a chair for Dr. Emmons and pushed it back just right; He also helped Dr. Emmons with the dishes. The two cooperate tacitly and naturally, and their movements are extremely skillful. Although they didn't talk, they were like old friends, and they knew each other's next move. "Elizabeth" uttered her observations and inferences in one breath.
George didn't think too much. "Although Louis has just arrived, he is a housekeeper with many years of experience, and these tasks of serving people are all within his share and should be done, which is called professionalism."
"But do you see what he did to me and Guanghan, Wei Jiajun and Michael, what did Michael say, he is still from our Hecate family. When Michael arrived, the rain hadn't stopped, and Louie didn't go out with an umbrella to greet him, and he didn't help Michael get seated. Now it seems that at least he knew Dr. Emmons' car. "Elizabeth" was unrelenting, and had to convince George to agree with her, and she looked a little outrageous.
"Oh, Sister Elizabeth, your stubbornness has come up again, and it hasn't changed after all these years. Well, but you're still very careful, I'll think again. George said as he tightened the corners of Li Guanghan's clothes. At this moment, he did not doubt the true identity of the "Elizabeth" in front of him, and still regarded her as his Elizabeth cousin.
George asked again how Lee Kwang Han had single-handedly subdued the two heavily armed special forces, and he thought that "Elizabeth" would certainly not be of much help.
George said hatefully, "The men in black thought it was my men who killed the antique dealer, and I suspect they did it." You say, it's possible that someone killed the antique dealer."
"We can't guess who the killer is, let's wait for the results of the police."
The underground river is twisted and turned, and the soles of the feet are slippery, and the muscles of the whole body must be tense when walking, and they must not be sloppy. George's bulky body walked for more than half an hour before he was too tired.
George pulled the corner of Li Guanghan's clothes and said, "I remember when I was a child, I rowed a boat with a few friends in the town to the underground dark river under Longfeng Mountain, and encountered a flash flood, and the sudden rise of the water washed the boat overturned, but I was fortunate to hold on to a stone pillar on the shore so that it was not washed away by the water." After returning home, I had a fever, but fortunately, Deng Lao sent me to the hospital in time, so there were no sequelae. George was out of breath as he spoke.
Li Guanghan heard George mention Deng Lao, and his heart sighed with emotion. I have been abroad for so many days, experiencing stormy waves every day, facing jackals, tigers and leopards, and the slightest carelessness will be wasted. However, I can't keep in touch with my family back home, and the people at home who care about me must be anxious.
"How is Deng Lao now, and how has he changed much when he was young," George asked this question like a Chinese.
Li Guanghan saw that George was so interested, and further guided him to go back to China and Xiangxi.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the cave in front of him suddenly became very low, and the strange rocks were craggy, like the jagged teeth of the devil biting the doorway. If you want to pass, you have to dive to lie on the bottom of the river and crawl forward. It is clearly impossible to move forward.
George was also a little confused, he hadn't personally walked into the underground river, but only looked at the entrance for a while, and then struggled back down the slide. No one thought that one day they would really use the secret passage and escape from the underground dark river.
Since it is a manor castle with a history of hundreds of years, there must have been a lot of grudges, hatreds, and bloody scenes, and there should be no shortage of human tragedies such as chasing and fleeing. Secret tunnels are used to escape, not just to meet the dodge function. And once the underground river rises, you can't hide if you want to. There must be an exit here.
Li Guanghan took a flashlight and shone around, knocking on the wall of the cave with his hand. "Hey, there's a loose stone."
The loose stone was removed, revealing a thick metal handle. It seems that this is a mechanism left by the predecessors. Li Guanghan tentatively pulled the handle, and a sound of iron rings and chains rolling and rubbing came from the top of his head, and the three of them subconsciously dodged to the side, and a long wooden plank above his head cracked, and a thick layer of fine soil and dust fell down at once. It is estimated to be hundreds of years old, with a strong musty smell.
A ladder made of iron hoops hangs down in the dust. Dangling in front of the eyes of three people, this is really a life-saving ladder.
