Chapter 523 - It's Sweet to Say
So she believed my death. But after that, I followed her secretly like a shadow. I thought it was possible for her to decipher the mystery of the seven-pointed candlestick and find the treasure's hiding place accordingly. At that point, it's not too late for me to take it back.
"But, hatefully, during this time, this woman actually killed multiple of our companions. Some were pushed down from a height by her and died, and some were struck to death by her. She almost became a murderous witch. ”
"Nope! I haven't done any of these things! I didn't kill anyone, it's a rumor!"
Mrs. Li Yue retorted desperately. However, Niu Zhang smiled coldly and said in a contemptuous tone:
"Well, since you don't admit it, I'm not reluctant. But I'm a man who stands up to the sky, and I won't do that kind of stingy thing. Of course, if we keep you here, it may ruin our good deeds, so we can only send you to live abroad. ”
"Going abroad? What do you mean? I don't want to go! ”
"That's right, there's a country E ship passing by tonight, and we're going to put you on this ship and let it take you to the rehabilitation center to recuperate.
"Well, that's ten thousand times better than killing you, right? In this way, we can work with peace of mind. How is it? Dear Mrs. Li Yue, I almost became the person who killed you with a knife, treating you like this can be regarded as repaying your grievances with virtue, right? You should be impressed by my magnanimity!"
Niu Zhang said secretly.
Li Yue remained silent, but her expression had returned to normal, and she was much quieter than just now. Maybe she really believed Niu Zhang's words and was relieved of her future.
However, Shirarou knew their ruse. Niu Zhang's mouth was very sweet, but in his heart he wanted to put Li Yue to death.
Shirarou pondered what to do. Suddenly, Bai Lang had a plan. He slipped quietly along the rattan to the ground, then quickly ran towards the cliff near the coast.
After Bai Lang hid, he quietly observed the surrounding terrain. After a while, a flashlight flashed in the distance. When I got closer, I saw two people carrying a stretcher, walking this way with difficulty.
Bai Lang took a closer look and found that one was Tan Jihong, the other was his cousin Ma Quan, and the one who was being carried on a stretcher was Mrs. Li Yue, who was tied up.
"Hey, the stone steps are very steep, be careful!"
Tan Jihong instructed in a low voice. At the same time, with the help of a flashlight, I walked up the stone steps. Because the stone steps were too steep, the stretcher was seriously tilted back and forth, so that Li Yue, who was lying on it, almost slipped down. And because there was a right-angled bend on the road, they finally passed it with great effort.
When they finally reached the shore under the cliff, the two men immediately sat down on the sand and gravel, as if they were falling apart. After a long time, the two of them were still unable to stand up.
"Hey! What a chore!"
"Put out the flashlight. In the middle of the night, fishermen can cause trouble when they see the lights. ”
The sea is as silent as death, and the sky is like black satin, and you can't see your fingers. At this time, Bai Lang had already arrived on the reef across the sea, waiting for the opportunity.
"Alright, it's not too early, it's time to do it."
The two men came to the beach, where there were two small boats. The silent sea, without wind or waves, is like a mirror. The two of them worked together, placed the stretcher on the small boat with the hole, and then, tied a rope to the other boat they were driving, silently and stealthily, rowed towards the deep sea.
The two boats sailed silently on the dark sea, rounding many reefs, and after about 20 minutes, they came to the deep sea area.
"Alright, here it is."
Tan Jihong stepped lightly onto the small boat behind, pulled out the rags that were stuck in the hole in the bottom of the boat, and quickly returned to the original boat. The water poured into the boat, making an eerie noise. The two men cut the rope that connected the two boats, and then quickly rowed back to shore.
Soon, the leaky boat was sinking. The cold sea surrounded her, and Li Yue wailed miserably and struggled to death.
However, her hands and feet were tightly bound with ropes, and no matter how hard she tried, the ropes could not be loosened in the slightest. In the fear of dying, she lost consciousness.
After some time, the lady came to her senses and noticed that someone was shaking her shoulder. She was taken aback and looked at the other in horror. She wanted to shout loudly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out of danger." She heard a deep baritone.
"My name is Luo Lian. It's okay now, I've plugged the hole in the bottom of the boat with rags, don't worry, be refreshed!"
Shirarou cut the rope from his wife with a knife and threw the rocks from the boat into the sea. So, the boat was much easier. Then, Bai Lang cleaned up the seawater in the boat.
"I've wanted to save you for a long time, so I've been waiting on the rocks over there beforehand." Bai Lang said in a homely tone as he rowed towards the shore.
"So, now I only have a pair of shorts on me. However, it is dark tonight, and I will not let a noble lady like you see my ugliness. ”
Bai Lang said humorously.
"How could I save you? How did I know you were in danger? You must be wondering, right? In fact, I was watching you closely when they carried you into the ancient tower. Therefore, I know everything they say and do. ”
"Oh...... But you have such outstanding swimming skills......"
"It's just a piece of cake for me, swimming is my forte. I'm also proficient in wrestling and boxing. With me here, you can rest assured...... Well, it's time to get to the shore. ”
From the bottom of the ship there was the sound of the boat hitting the gravel, and soon the boat stopped moving.
Bai Lang jumped to the beach quickly, and then reached out to pick up Li Yue, but the lady struggled a lot, but she couldn't get up.
"My foot seems to be injured, probably just done."
"Be careful, I'll pick you up."
Bai Lang stretched out his strong arms, gently lifted his wife, and lowered her to the flat sand. Then, Shirakuro stepped onto the boat, lifted the oars, rowed back to the deep sea, and pulled out the rags that plugged the hole. After the boat sank completely, Shirarou swam back to shore.
After going ashore, he first found his clothes, pants, shoes and socks and quickly put them on, then picked up Li Yue and walked towards the stone steps.
Madame's foot was injured and she couldn't take a step. Although Bai Lang has full strength, it is still very difficult to climb the steep stone steps with a large living person on his back. As a last resort, Bai Lang rested three or four times on the way.
Finally reached the top of the cliff, but reason told Bai Lang that he couldn't stay here for long, because Tan Jihong's gang could appear at any moment. It is imperative to hide the lady in a secluded and safe place as soon as possible.
