Chapter 166: Confession
The pirates have been waiting for me to come again since I last negotiated a trade deal with Arthur and left Paradise Island, but they have waited for a long time and have not waited for my shadow, so some people have begun to speculate whether I am a liar or not, but then again, they are just a bunch of pirates, and I don't seem to have much to fool them. Arthur thought about it again and again, and suddenly thought that Sister Hua had said that she had been to Paradise Island, so he sent someone to arrest Sister Hua, and then asked her to take two of her men to Paradise Island to explore the truth.
But after waiting for the boat to go out for a long time, Sister Hua suddenly remembered that the last time she went to Paradise Island was purely by mistake, she only vaguely remembered a general direction, and the rest was to rely on the so-called Lord Poseidon to guide her all the way, but the boat had already sailed out, and at this time she went back to Arthur and told her that she didn't know the way, and Arthur estimated that she could really kill her, so she had to pray for the Poseidon to appear.
After going around on the sea for a long time, Sister Hua finally failed to be as lucky as last time, and the supplies she brought had been almost consumed, and then she could only eat even Lord Poseidon, but she still couldn't see the shadow of Paradise Island.
How many ups and downs Soros has gone through, what all kinds of people have not seen, Sister Hua's little cleverness is too naΓ―ve in his eyes, but he doesn't plan to directly demolish her.
After ordering someone to settle Sister Hua, Chu Yi found Soros and asked puzzledly: "Lord Earl, that woman is obviously lying, why do you want to take her in?" β
"But she does know Han Dong's name, doesn't she?"
"Han Dong is the manager of the Paradise Island Distillery, it shouldn't be strange to know his name, right?"
"But isn't it strange to meet a woman on this sea who knows him?" Soros smiled and continued, "I know you've heard Grace mention Han Dong and you've always been curious about him, isn't this just an opportunity for you to get to know him better?" β
On Paradise Island, Long Xin'er began to talk to me about the theoretical basis of horseback riding, but this thing is the same as learning to drive and test for a driver's license, theoretical knowledge is theoretical knowledge after all, after memorizing for a long time, I still don't know anything about horseback riding, and Long Xin'er actually let me first thing is to learn to establish feelings with horses, and establish feelings with horses? I think it's a fantasy, people say that it doesn't work to play the piano to the cow, but does it work to play the piano to the horse?
Long Xin'er said to me: "The horse is a very human animal, as long as you have a relationship with it, it will become very docile, but if you forcibly control it, then it will definitely be rejected and resisted, in fact, it is very simple to establish a relationship with it, as long as you pet it more, feed it more." β
I looked at Long Xin'er suspiciously, "Isn't this similar to raising a dog?" β
Long Xin'er nodded, "It can be said that it is almost the same, or it can be said that it is different, so let's do it, or I will take you to sit on it and feel it first?" β
I shook my head decisively, "I don't want to give it a try, my injuries are just right, and if I fall off my horse again, my old bones will have to fall apart." β
Long Xin'er shook her head helplessly: "I usually see that you are quite majestic, but I didn't expect you to be so timid, and I didn't let you ride a horse alone, I'm with you!" β
Long Xin'er wants to take me on a horseback ride? I made up the picture in my head, I feel a little ambiguous, in case An An and the others see it, then I can't explain it with a hundred mouths.
Long Xin'er didn't care about this, she turned over and sat on the horse's back, and then stretched out her hand to pull me up, at the same time Rockefeller and several other technicians were also watching, I thought that I felt a little timid if I didn't go up again, so I climbed on the horse's back with my feet, and almost dragged Long Xin'er off with a nervousness.
Sitting on horseback, I was a little overwhelmed, I didn't know where to put my two hands, normally I should be holding Long Xin'er, in fact, this is nothing dirty and dirty, it is purely normal, but I feel too intimate, I want to find something else to grasp, but I can only pull the horse's hair when I look for it.
Long Xin'er asked me, "How is it, do you feel okay after sitting on it?" β
I nodded and pretended to be calm and said, "Well, it's okay, oops, it's quite easy to ride a horse." β
"That's good!" Long Xin'er suddenly smiled, and then said Hurry up, and then urge the horse to gallop, this time I was unprepared, almost fell down directly, I subconsciously grabbed Long Xin'er's clothes, and my mind was blank.
Long Xin'er rode a horse along the seashore all the way, in fact, the speed was not so fast, but for me it felt like taking a high-speed train, and finally arrived at a deserted beach, Long Xin'er stopped with a sigh.
After getting off the horse, I sat on the beach, and Long Xin'er asked me with a smile: "It's really not difficult to ride a horse, right?" How about you ride back later? β
I shook my head and said resolutely, "Don't even think about it, I'd rather crawl back!" β
Long Xin'er giggled and held her waist and said, "If you resist like this, what will happen to the next game?" Time is running out! β
"It doesn't matter what kind of game it doesn't play! I really can't, and then I will say that I am not feeling well and cannot ride a horse. β
"Okay, I've already told you how to ride anyway, if you really resist, forget it." As she spoke, Long Xin'er walked to the side of the horse, gently stroked the horse's mane, and muttered something to herself, as if she was chatting with the horse.
After resting for a few minutes to calm down, I suddenly asked Long Xin'er, "There is no one here, can you tell me what happened later?" β
Long Xin'er turned to look at me, her originally cheerful mood suddenly disappeared, and she said, "I really can't tell you much now, I still say the same thing, and you will naturally know when the time is right." β
"So what's the right time? Let's be honest, I think your identity must be more than just a county lord, you stayed on Paradise Island to marry me, and it was never to escape the so-called parents' marriage, you must have other secrets, maybe all this was planned when you first came to Paradise Island, right? β
"I," Long Xin'er didn't dodge in the face of my direct gaze, but she didn't know how to answer.
I struck while the iron was hot and said: "The last time I went to the Golden Islands, I did see an Oriental named Qiu Linhai, but I can tell you very frankly now that he didn't mention you to me, and of course I didn't take the initiative to ask him, so when I came back, I said that he knew you, and that was also what I deliberately deceived you." β
"Hmm", Long Xin'er nodded and didn't show anything unusual, and the expression on her face was not shocked.
"But," I continued, "I did see a few of his men exposed, and the secret weapon used by one of them was exactly the same as the one I asked you before, so that time I was attacked on the island, it was not you or your men who rescued me, right?" β
"Yes!" This time, Long Xin'er admitted it very happily.
"You've been sending people to stalk me in the shadows?" I asked in a tough tone.
"I didn't mean to send someone to follow you, I just happened to encounter you!"
"Do you think I can believe that?"
"I won't hurt you, and I won't hurt the people around you, that's all I can tell you."
My conversation with Long Xin'er came to an abrupt end, and there was still no result from the conversation as before, and her secret was only the tip of the veil for me, and I could no longer snoop on.
