Chapter 15: Arriving on Long Island
Liang Ruoyi did arrive at the antique shop at nine o'clock, I cooked a bowl of fried noodles for her, ate and drank to her heart's content, these gods rested in the guest room upstairs, I prepared things with my second uncle, and rested early.
Early the next morning, Lao Clam took a train to Taibai Mountain, and I, the second uncle, the seventh master, and Liang Ruoyi drove to Long Island.
I can't help but think of more than a year ago, there were old clams and cloth bag monks sitting in this car, and later there were pockmarks, pigs' heads and toads, but now, there are only a few of us left.
"The destination is Penglai!" Liang Ruoyi said while driving: "Stay in Penglai for one night today, and charter a boat to Long Island early tomorrow morning." ”
"Miss Liang, Mr. Liang Dong, the source is very powerful!" The seventh master, who was sitting in the back, said with a smile: "Even things like the yin and yang coffin can get news, and I really admire him." ”
I sat in the co-pilot's seat and heard Liang Ruoyi sigh lightly: "Seriously, I really want to quit...... Although I have not met Mr. Liang Dong in person, from recent correspondence, I can sense that Mr. Liang Dong seems to be preparing for a major event, since the beginning of the Hanjia operation, Mr. Liang Dong has been suppressed by Xu Zeming or others, and so far, among our various forces, Mr. Liang Dong has received the least reward. ”
I was stunned: that's right, I didn't even think of this before. The Han Jia, which he had obtained with great effort, was snatched away by Xu Zeming with a trick, and the ten secret realms, Tai Chi Halo were also abolished by Xu Zeming, except for getting a piece of priceless dragon blood ink jade and the Sun Moon Lotus of Tianshan Medicine Garden, there were no other previous items......
You must know that the mastermind of the whole operation is Liang Dong, but now, he has almost nothing.
Listening to Liang Ruoyi now, I think Liang Dong did it on purpose.
"What's the big deal?" The second uncle asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Liang Ruoyi replied: "I just feel it, with my understanding of Mr. Liang Dong, I can hear something from his words, anyway, I think ...... This operation is becoming more and more dangerous, and it is not only the operation itself......"
Liang Ruoyi didn't say any more, but everyone knew the meaning of the words, and suddenly became silent.
"Seventh Master, how is the old clam's injury?" I turned on the stereo and asked as I listened to the song.
"Alas......" The seventh master was not easy to hear this question: "Originally, I thought that I couldn't be saved, but with the method you said, it's okay, at least, there are still descendants left in the Nanpan faction." ”
"Hey, in a few years, when you retire, we will call Lao Clam the eighth master!" I laughed.
"Well, I hope so." The Seventh Master also laughed.
"Miss Liang, do you have a specific location?" The second uncle asked.
"Nope." Bing Meiren shook her head: "However, Mr. Liang Dong said that the Seventh Master will have a way." ”
"Me?" The seventh master smiled bitterly: "I'm not an immortal!" There is a sea area as big as Long Island, and there are countless small islands, do I have to look for them one by one......"
"The Seventh Master laughed." The corners of Liang Ruoyi's mouth curled: "You have even found such a difficult place as Nanpan Divine Palace, that place must no longer be your problem!" ”
Everyone laughed, looked at the reversing highway outside the window, and fell silent again.
The second uncle and the seventh master quickly closed their eyes and rested, I listened to the song and chatted softly with Liang Ruoyi, and stopped at a service station for more than ten minutes until one o'clock at noon, we came to Penglai City and stopped at a seaside inn called "Happy Time".
"The owner here is my friend." Liang Ruoyi got out of the car and introduced: "Call Brother Cai." ”
"Beauty, your friends are everywhere!" I took the backpack in Liang Ruoyi's hand, followed behind her and said, "Is this also a soldier brother?" ”
The ice beauty glanced at me: "That's right, the backpack is full of fine red wine, you be careful, you will pay if you break it." ”
"Oh! Yes, sir! I gave a military salute and walked in with the ice beauty with rolling eyes.
As soon as I entered the door, walked through the corridor, and entered the small courtyard, a yellow mangs rushed over and threw themselves directly into my arms, and I fell backwards with a stumble!
Before I could react, I saw a round figure pass in front of my eyes, and then I felt a strong arm on my back, and I was caught by force!
"Huh......" I looked at it, and the yellow mang turned out to be a golden retriever, squatting on the ground and sticking out its tongue to look at me.
"Oh, this is my red wine! If this shatters, it's worth it! ”
The man behind me spoke, and I hurriedly stood up, turned my head to look, and saw a man about six feet tall, with a round face, and a fat man, standing behind me, one hand clutching the backpack on my back.
"Cai, Cai, brother, right?" I was still a little apprehensive, and looked at the white-faced man who looked like he was in his thirties with a smile: "How do you know this is red wine?" ”
"Of course, Ruo Yi said to bring me red wine, just you carry a bag, not red wine!" After that, Brother Cai shouted at the golden retriever: "Pudding, if you don't behave, I'll put you in a cage!" ”
"Oh woo-woo!" The golden retriever named Pudding barked, turned and slipped into the corner and lay down.
"Everyone, please come inside!" Brother Cai beckoned a few of us and let us into the house, and immediately smelled a refreshing aroma.
"Brother Cai is good!" Liang Ruoyi smiled: "The cooking skills are still excellent, the seafood feast is good, isn't it?" ”
"That's nature!" Brother Cai looked serious, walked two steps, opened the door of the restaurant, we took a look, and suddenly our appetite was opened: on the table in front of us, there was a baking tray in the center, surrounded by a plate of fresh seafood that had not been cooked, and then a circle outside, it was a fragrant seafood feast, with clams, sea cucumbers, lobsters, lupper shrimp, oysters, starfish, scallops, etc., etc., just take a look, my saliva is about to flow down!
"I can't help it, let's eat!" It seems that the ice beauty has a good relationship with this talented brother, and she doesn't see anything outside, so she directly wiped her hands with wet wipes and sat down to eat.
"Please be seated!" Brother Cai smiled and stretched out his hand to invite us: "I'll go open a bottle of wine!" ”
The three of us also sat down with a smile, and the second uncle asked Liang Ruoyi: "Miss Liang, this talented brother still looks like a master!" ”
"Hmm!" The ice beauty is dealing with the angler shrimp in her hand: "His skills are not under me!" If you lose a little weight, you're much better than me! ”
Brother Cai quickly opened a bottle of wine and came back, everyone feasted, praised Brother Cai's craftsmanship, a large table of seafood, from one o'clock to more than three o'clock, there was nothing left.
In the afternoon, we rested for a while, and the dinner was a seafood bun specially made by Brother Cai, and told Liang Ruoyi about what to do early tomorrow morning, and at ten o'clock, everyone went to sleep.
At four o'clock in the morning the next day, we got up and packed up, rushed to the beach with our backpacks, and my brother hired a small yacht from a friend, and set off after having breakfast at the beach, and at ten o'clock in the morning, we arrived at Long Island.
This is my first time on Long Island, because it's almost early winter, and the island looks gray and abrupt, but it's still beautiful.
Liang Ruoyi took us to the hotel that had been booked for a while, this season is also the off-season for tourism, there are not many tourists, eat lunch and rest, when I woke up, there was a light rain outside, and the whole sky was gloomy.
"Seventh Master, this time, we don't have any clues!" The second uncle looked out the window - the gloomy sky, and said to the seventh master with a wry smile.
"Well......" The Seventh Master didn't seem to have a clue: "I'm wondering, why did the First Emperor conclude that there was a treasure here...... That's the only clue we have. ”
After that, the seventh master turned his head to look at me: "Xiao Gu, you accompany me to take a look outside." ”
"Me?" I was stunned for a moment, then answered, took two umbrellas, and walked out with the seventh master.
The light rain outside was dripping, and the sea breeze was blowing, and I couldn't help but feel a little cold. I tightened my clothes, followed the seventh master to the beach, and slowly circled the island along the coastline.
"Seventh Master, this long island is not small, if you go around like this, it is estimated that it will take several hours......" I said with a wry smile: "But it's also good to look at the scenery, I really didn't expect that there is such a beautiful island in Shandong." ”
The seventh master smiled and nodded: "China's coastline is so long, there are many beautiful islands, if you are okay in the future, you can take your family to walk around, don't be like me, when I was young, I ran around, and when I was old, I realized that I had wasted so many years, regret it!" ”
I didn't know how to answer what I said, so I could only laugh and follow the Seventh Master to continue walking, and soon, we went around from the south to the north of Long Island.
The Seventh Master suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, looked at the sea in the distance, and asked me, "Xiao Gu, look, is there anything special?" ”
"Special?" I squinted my eyes and looked out - the sky was still gloomy with no end in sight, large dark clouds hung over us, the cold wind of early winter blew through the thin curtain of rain, and the air was filled with a bleak smell.
"It's no different......" I said with a wry smile after a moment's pause.
"Look closely." The seventh master pointed to the sea in the distance: "Look at the waves in the distance." ”
On the north side of Long Island, there are several small islands, I don't know the name, from where we stand, you can see the outlines of the islands, and when you look closely, you can see the white waves, at first I thought they were coming towards us, but soon we realized that they were heading towards the east, and after a few minutes, the waves in the west suddenly disappeared, and the waves in the east started again!
"Huh?" I was immediately intrigued: "It's kind of amazing!" ”
