【Chapter 231】The Mysterious Island Owner
When they were eating together, Han Xu found that there were more than a dozen servants here, and there were many servants who walked back from the outside of this house, and roughly estimated, about twenty of them, together with the old man, sat at the long table that was not luxurious.
The food is quite hearty, most of it is seafood, and it is probably because of the relationship between living in the middle of the sea, and it is also nutritious with local materials.
Han Xu admired this old man at the beginning, a master and a group of servants, naturally sat together and ate the same meal, without a little shelf, just like those servants of different ages were his family, there was no estranged chatter.
This is the complete opposite of the Song family, which is a place where even the kitchen needs a special person to enter.
If in the future, the Song family can be like here, up and down and happy, as the master, it will be a pleasure to watch.
After eating, the old man said that they could go around, but don't go to the master's villa next to it, so as not to damage the master's things, and he couldn't explain it.
"Aren't you the master here?" Han Xu and Li Tianhu asked in unison.
The old man smiled and said, "Me? Of course not! ”
Han Xu unexpectedly learned from this old man that he was not the master, no wonder, when she was eating, she felt that the master and the maid could get along, and there was no distinction between high and low status, and she was also envious of the Song family.
Unexpectedly, the old man was just the butler who took care of this private island, called Mickey, and the servants here all called him Mickey Butler, who had been here since the time of the previous master.
“mickey? Mouse? Li Tianhu stupidly said that the mouse was not the other mouse, but for people who are not familiar with it, it is a bit abrupt to joke with the other party without understanding other people's customs.
Han Xu looked at Mickey's housekeeper's face slightly apologetically, he was not angry at all, and his voice full of vicissitudes was still very active: "Haha! That's right, I'm Mickey Mouse, I used to have a Chinese name, I have been on this island for thirty or forty years, no one called me my Chinese name, and gradually it was forgotten, they only called me Mickey Butler. ”
It turns out that Butler Mickey and all the servants here are all Chinese, no wonder the accent has no other country weirdness.
Speaking of his master, Mickey Butler gushes endlessly.
He said that he was friends with the previous owner, and that more than 20 years ago, the previous owner no longer set foot on this small island, and he thought that his master was busy with business, or bought an island to live on somewhere else, so he did not have time to come to this island, so he has been waiting on the island for his master to return.
After waiting for twelve years, from the original five or six servants, he gradually ran out, and in the end he was left alone, and he also became a middle-aged uncle from the original young man, but he never thought of leaving here.
Later, one day, a handsome boy came to this island and took the will of the previous owner to inherit the island, and Mickey Butler learned that his master had been dead for twelve years, and the handsome boy in front of him, who looked similar to his master, was the new owner.
After the new owner came to this island, he was moved to see Mickey's butler who was loyal to protect the island alone, and gradually recruited more than 20 servants, who were led by Mickey's housekeeper to continue to take care of the island.
Mickey's housekeeper called the new owner the young master because of his heartache, so as to express his nostalgia for his old friend.
"Time flies really fast, eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, my young master, from a childish teenager, has grown into a man who is amazing and elegant, and he is still ......"
At this, Butler Mickey's wrinkled face flushed slightly.
Han Xu and Li Tianhu were interested when they heard it, and the two rushed to ask, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Mickey's housekeeper looked happy: "A few years ago, the young master saw that I was lonely and lonely when I was guarding the island, and introduced me to a lady, and I finally had a home, but now she is in China, and it will take some time to get the certificate to reunite with me." ”
This is quite satisfying, it seems that this young master is also a human host, and Mickey Butler will treat this island as his home.
When Han Xu walked outside from this not too big house, his eyes lit up instantly.
It turned out that the villa where she and Li Tianhu ate and lived was a maid's villa, and right next to it, there was a super large and extremely luxurious villa, it seemed that that villa was the house of the young master in the mouth of Mickey's housekeeper.
"Is the master at home? Can I go and say thank you? Han Xu said to Mickey Butler.
"The young master is not on the island, he comes once or twice a year at most, and I often call the young master's assistant, and they all say that he is very busy."
Butler Mickey said as he led them away: "I will keep an eye on the passing ships, and if there is a ship returning home, I will notify you, but your hope is not great, this place is too remote, and it is not open to the public, and few ships will come around the nearby waters, and the ship that rescued you came here by accident." ”
Han Xu chuckled in her heart, thinking that she was in the middle of the sea, and she could see the ship anytime and anywhere, how could she go out, but now that Mickey Butler told the truth, she immediately became worried in her heart.
And she suddenly remembered another very depressing thing, she had fallen into the sea near the broken island of Zarun before, and her documents were all lost in the sea, and now she may have to contact the local embassy to return to China.
Looks like we're going to have to stay here for a few days.
Before eating, I told Nan Junze that I would go back soon, but now I find that it is difficult to take a single step.
Han Xu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go back, so he was nervous, and after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to contact Nan Junze again, after all, he and Li Tianhu were penniless now, even if they went to apply for temporary documents, it would cost them to walk back and forth to do something.
Can't you borrow money from Mickey's butler on this island to buy a plane ticket back home, right?
It's one thing to dare to open your mouth, and it's another thing for people to be willing or not...... No, it's obvious that people know that the money borrowed won't come back, and when the time comes, everyone will leave, who will ask for the money?
Thinking of this, Han Xu immediately asked Mickey's housekeeper to borrow the phone here, and really called Nan Junze's mobile phone back, but it was just a meal, and Nan Junze's mobile phone had been turned off.
She then called Ren Qifeng's mobile phone, which was also turned off, it seems that Nan Junze may have boarded the plane back to China and is flying back.
"What should I do?" Han Xu reluctantly put down the phone and said to Li Tianhu: "Don't wait any longer, it's about three or four hours, and when the sun goes down in the evening, his mobile phone should be turned on." ”
Li Tianhu pondered for a moment: "Just let Han Er fly over, if Han Er gets on the plane now, it shouldn't take so long to get here, if you wait for your husband, he will return to China and get off the plane and turn back, at least in the middle of the night." ”
This island is so secluded that most people really can't find it.
If Nan Junze is allowed to return to China and then buy a ticket to fly out to the vicinity of the Philippines, Nan Junze is in a hurry, if she tells the actual situation, she may search in the sea overnight, and then look for the islands one by one.
It is not very peaceful in the sea area at night, and it is more difficult to find it at night, according to Nan Junze's vigilance, it is unlikely that something will happen, at most it will take a little longer.
But he was so busy, he didn't approve of her going out with Li Tianhu to play before he went abroad, but now that something really happened, he wanted him to run back and forth, and he always felt that he had no face to face him.
Forget it! Clean up the mess by yourself, and you can be tougher when you go back to talk, and you can be a little shorter than him.
Han Xu immediately obeyed Li Tianhu's decision and called Han Er.
It's okay to lie to Han Er before, but now you have to tell the truth, Han Er scolded Li Tianhu eighteen times on the phone, from hair to toenails.
This island is small and exquisite, hidden in the dense thousands of islands in Southeast Asia, and it cannot even be searched on the map, and the location can only be determined to the island within a radius of more than ten nautical miles.
Han Xu had to find Mickey's housekeeper to describe Han Er's approximate location, and as for whether Han Er could find this place, it depended on luck.
Han Er also knew that it was not a joke this time, so he recorded it very carefully, because he had never been to this place, and he asked over and over again what he didn't understand, but fortunately, Butler Mickey was a warm-hearted person, and he took the trouble to explain as many times as he asked.
It took a lot of effort to finish explaining to Han Er, and Han Xu thanked Mickey Butler and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's early afternoon now, and if nothing else, when Han Er's license is complete, the plane will be able to go to the Philippines in the evening, and then transfer to various means of transportation to go to sea, but I don't know how long it will take him to find this island.
Li Tianhu looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him: "This island is so beautiful, it should be regarded as a tour, Han Er probably doesn't want to leave when he comes." ”
Han Xu also felt very enjoyable: "Although it is very unlucky to meet Xiao Hei, it is indeed a kind of fate to be able to come to this small island that is not open to the public, and it should be said that we are very lucky!" ”
Butler Mickey pushed a tandem bicycle from the back of the servant's villa, and Han Xu and Li Tianhu looked over, their four eyes flashing with surprise.
This tandem bike is a very strange car, with two wheels, two fronts, two directions, back to back like two bicycles condensed in opposite directions.
A bicycle with two fronts, just like a train, can be driven in two different directions without turning around.
Butler Mickey said, "If you're bored, take this bike around the island, and you won't be disappointed." ”
Han Xu and Li Tianhu couldn't bear it anymore, so they both rushed over, snatched the strange tandem bicycle from Mickey's butler, and rode it in one direction and one person.
If you want this kind of bicycle to really run, you need two tacit friends, and Han Xu and Li Tianhu are naturally the best partners.
