Mother and son returned to the garden, sat on a stone bench, and poured out what had happened to them over the past fifteen years.

Xiao Yong was still immersed in the sad news of his grandfather's murder and was very sad, but because of the reunion with his mother, the sadness in his heart was slightly diluted.

However, when he heard his mother say that Mr. Maro was also killed and fell off the cliff, he finally couldn't help crying bitterly. It took his mother's comfort to stop his grief. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Mom, I don't think the teacher will die, the teacher is a strong swimmer, and his body is very strong, even if he is hit by a stone, he can hold on, not to mention that you haven't seen his body with your own eyes, so according to my speculation, the teacher has a good chance of survival."

"I hope so, too."

"Come on, Mom. Let's pray for Mr. Maro and bless him with a safe return...... See! Golden! Look how cheerful it is! ”

The golden retriever wagged his tail, flew over, and jumped on Xiao Yong's body in one fell swoop.

"Golden Retriever, you really make me anxious, I can't see you all the time, where did you go?" Xiao Yong hugged the golden retriever and said:

"Mother, let's get out of this island, it's full of dangers, and we can't stay any longer." "But we don't have a boat, how can we go?"

"I have a boat, it's a little rowing boat, I'm hiding in one place."

"Where?"

"At the northern end of the island, there is a cliff where the terrain is very steep, but my teacher and I succeeded in making a path there that leads to the sea, and at the end of the path there is a small harbor, and the boat is tied to the big rock on the shore.

"But what if the gangsters find out and they chase after them?"

"The gangsters are all on the big island, they can't come!"

"But they have airboats."

"It doesn't matter, the gangsters will never be able to find the small harbor, even if you look at it from the sea, you can only see two big stones sticking out of the sea, and you can't see the boat."

"Then let's go now!"

"No, the island is surrounded by reefs, and it is too dangerous to sail at night, so you can't leave until dawn."

"And we're going to wait until dawn?"

"It's only five or six hours before dawn, and we can still row to the place where Mr. Marlowe fell off the cliff, maybe the teacher has climbed ashore on his own, waiting for us to save him."

"God bless he's alive!"

"My hunch tells me he must be alive, Mom, you must be very tired, rest early!"

Xiao Yong spread out the blanket, and the mother and son slept on it. The golden retriever lay beside him, and at the slightest sound it pricked up its ears vigilantly.

The day finally dawned, and the brilliant morning glow painted the garden with a brilliant sheen. Mother and son wake up from their sleep.

"Mom, let's go!"

The sun rises above the sea level, reflecting the morning sky and the sea, and the sea reflects the light like a mirror.

The mother and son crossed the forest trail and reached the cliff at the northern end of the island.

"Can you go down?"

"In order to open up this path, Mr. Maro and I spent a lot of effort and time, and the old man Hu Gan also helped a lot at that time."

Under the leadership of Xiao Yong, Huangfu Xiunan and the golden retriever followed him and walked down the path made of rock cracks. The road was narrow enough to pass a single person.

"Mom, be careful!"

Xiao Yong saw that the golden retriever was also coming, so he said to it: "Golden retriever, go back quickly, you don't need to come down!" ”

The Golden Retriever seemed to understand, turned and ran back to the top of the cliff.

Huangfu Xiunan followed Xiao Yong down the path, and when he looked back, the golden retriever looked at them as if he was not at ease.

The mother and son finally grabbed the protruding place of the rock and climbed onto a big rock, and with Xiao Yong's support, they climbed behind the big rock.

There was a small boat tethered to a stake on the shore.

"It's so secluded that you can't see it from the sea or from the shore, Mom, let's get on board...... Oops, that's bad! ”

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot to bring the oars from the warehouse, I'll go back and get them."

"Come back soon!"

"I'll do it as soon as possible."

After Xiao Yong finished speaking, he climbed to the top of the cliff. Huangfu Xiunan sat in the boat and waited for him to come back. The waves gently crashed against the boat. She felt that there should be no more trouble going to save Maro this time.

Time passed quietly, and she waited patiently, but Xiao Yong never came back. "It's strange, I've been gone for so long, and it's time to come back, could it be that I met a gangster halfway again?" Huangfu Xiunan's heart rose to his throat again.

The bridge to the big island was burned and the tunnel mouth was blocked, could it be that the gangsters had another way to the island and caught Xiao Yong?

Thinking of this, she became more and more restless, and her heart was at a loss, and finally she couldn't help jumping off the boat and climbing back to the top of the cliff along the path. Xiao Yong and Golden Retriever were not there, she shouted loudly several times Xiao Yong and Golden Retriever, but she couldn't hear an answer, and her heart was even more uneasy. She ran back to the garden in one breath and shouted Xiao Yong's name, but there was silence all around.

She scoured all corners of the garden, but there was nothing but blooming flowers and bees busily collecting honey. The buzzing of bees adds to the quiet atmosphere in the garden, which makes people feel a little scary.

She looked in the direction of the boulder altar and found many newly cut branches piled up on the ground, and she could smell a fresh smell of branches and leaves.

Who cut down the branches so much? She involuntarily looked up - "Oops!" With a thud, she fell to her knees in fright.

The old cedar tree behind the boulder was cut down to the main trunk and two thick branches that stretched out to the left and right, forming a huge cross shape.

The bark on the upper part of the trunk was stripped off, and on the white body, the special signature of Huangfu Xiunan was prominently painted in red.

This is the fourth cross, exactly like the one drawn on the strange picture in the hut in Da Yu Village.

Huangfu Xiunan felt trembling all over, and she no longer had the strength to stand up again. "Ah, the devil's curse has finally come, and I am about to be crucified."

After a long time of delay, she barely managed to stand up, stood up and ran towards the old school.

As soon as she ran into the old school, she called out to Xiao Yong in a hoarse voice. There were two screams in a row, but there was no sound except for the buzzing echo coming back from the empty hall.

She ascended the stairs to the room at the end of the stairs, where her father's bedroom had been, and where she had witnessed Xiao Lei kill her father.

She pushed the door open and looked in, "Ahh

That face...... Precisely...... It was her divorced husband Xiao Yuyuan!

She was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't know what to do, and she barely leaned against the wall, standing dumbfounded.

"Ahh My Xiunan! ”

Xiao Yuyuan called her name and walked over to her.

"Don't come near me!" Huangfu Xiunan screamed and took a few steps back.

"What are you afraid of? I'm your husband! ”

"Don't come here! Don't touch me! You're not my husband! You're a demon! You make me sick! ”

"Oh, you're still mad at me."

"You still have the face to say! You let Xiao Lei kill my father, Xiao Yong was imprisoned in the dungeon by you, and Teacher Maro was also killed by you...... You are the devil...... You let go of me! Don't touch me! ”

"You are my wife, how can I let you go so easily! Although you didn't say goodbye back then, I still love you and I want you to be happy! Now listen to me, my dear!
