On the second day, early in the morning, the precious calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and guqin in Xiaolu's room were placed.

After closing the door of the secret room from the inside, cleaning the room and turning off the generator in the underground secret room, Guan Hao took the historical mission of Wan'er and the Huang family and began to explore along the underground river to find a way home.

With the modern equipment in the storage room, the two of them are relaxed and confident.

After walking about 3 kilometers downstream along the man-made sidewalk, Guan Hao found an underground dock, and counted carefully, there were four small wooden boats of all sizes.

Three of them were hoisted in mid-air by winches away from the water, and the small boats tied to the small berths were worn out by visual inspection due to long periods of immersion in the water.

Guan Hao approached the boat hanging in the air and touched the hull with his hand, a thick layer of tung oil, dry and hard, without the slightest bit of decay. It seems that although it has not been used for forty or fifty years, because of the good anti-corrosion treatment, the three ships can still be used normally.

"Luckily, these boats are still usable, this is a secret dock on the island, and these boats are supposed to be used for escape. With a ship there must be an exit, and we will definitely be able to get out. ”

"There's a light ahead, and the underground river should be coming to an end."

Together, the two of them put down one of the smallest dinghys, took their backpacks, and got into the dinghy.

The dinghy has exactly two pairs of rowing, and the paddling is fixed to the strings on both sides by cables, just like a competition kayak, and people only need to row left and right in the cabin, which is convenient and labor-saving.

Guan Hao asked Wan'er to sit in the front cabin, and he rowed as an oarsman in the back.

"Wan'er, are you seated? We're going to sail! I'm about to get out of here! You've got a minute to say goodbye! The good boy said mischievously.

"Let's go! To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to leave! Let's come back when we have a chance in the future! ”

"We'll definitely come back in the future, there are still a lot of unsolved mysteries waiting for us to explore! What do you think if I want to buy this Bailu Island? ”

"Okay, this island Huang family has already donated it to the hospital, it should cost a lot of money to buy it, right? I don't know if I can sell it? ”

"Don't worry, this island leprosy hospital has been abandoned, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to buy back the ancestral property in the name of the Huang family in the future. As for money, that's not a problem, now is the best time to make money! Hee-hee! ”

"Good! I'm sticking with you! ”

"Let's sail!" The boy rowed the boat with all his might, and the boat rushed forward like an arrow.

The good boy was full of spirit and waved his arms with confidence.

Because he knew that there was a girl sitting in front of him who was looking sideways at him, and no matter what he did, the girl would support him without hesitation.

Because he knows that in the near future, he has the ability to do a lot of meaningful things for his beloved, for his family, and for this country.

The boat is getting faster and faster, and the light in front of him is getting brighter and brighter, and Guan Hao is getting more and more excited when he thinks about it.

Cao Wan looked at Guan Hao, who was working hard to paddle like this, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was very happy.

Wan'er had already secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would do her best to grasp her happiness.

The happiness of Haozai and Wan'er came a little suddenly, and as the light at the exit of the underground river became bigger and bigger, the two also felt that this time they were really out of the secret passage, and they had a feeling of escaping.

After coming out, I found that the outlet of this underground river is very small, and if it is at high tide, there is no hole at all, and only at low tide can a small boat enter and exit. It is so hidden that it is difficult for outsiders to be unfamiliar with it.

Out of the hole, the two were excited and reluctant.

But it's finally out!

The boat sailed out of the underground river hole, and the two of them were so blinded by the harsh sun that they couldn't open their eyes, so they quickly put on the goggles in their bags to get used to it.

At this time, it was already three poles of the sun, close to noon. In June, it was already summer in Lingnan, and the sun was vicious.

The two of them were draped in tarps to hide from the sun, and the good boy rowed the boat hard to the west.

"According to the map, this is supposed to be the Qianshan Islands at the mouth of the river. We can only row to the west to see if we can meet the ships on the fairway, or dock and return to Suicheng. ”

After rowing west for about 2 hours, a patrol boat with the flag of country H approached with a good luck, and there was still a distance of about thirty meters, and the loudspeaker on the patrol boat shouted in Chinese:

"I am the border patrol team of Qianshan J Reserve District of Country H, you have entered the waters of the Qianshan Islands of Country H, please stop the ship immediately for inspection!" After shouting in Chinese, I shouted again in English.

Guan Hao and Cao Wan were relieved, obediently stopped the boat, and waited for the patrol boat to come and inspect.

After tedious testing and repeated inquiries, it was determined that the two of them were missing people who fell into the water during the Dragon Boat Race in Suicheng, and the J people on the patrol boat were surprised.

In order to keep the secret of Bailu Island, the two of them had already unified their caliber before: Guan Hao fell into the water together in order to save Cao Wan, and was finally swept away by the whirlpool and left on Bailu Island.

After verification by Party J, the information was completely true, so after Guan Hao and Gou Wan stayed in JB District for one night, Party J notified Suicheng to send someone to pick them up and take them home.

At this time, sixteen days have passed since Guan Hao and Cao Wan fell into the water, and the two families used various rescue methods to find them to turn the entire lower reaches of the river upside down, and searched along the river for more than ten days, and finally felt that there was really little hope before giving up.

Unexpectedly, sixteen days later, the two were suddenly rescued and were notified by the comrades of Team B that the two families sent someone to lead people back, which was a great thing.

After a night of waiting, and breakfast the next day, the two dressed up in the military uniforms provided by the JB district early and waited for their respective homes to pick them up.

The two discussed early on how to get in touch.

Guan Hao is one year older than Cao Wan, and now one is a high school student and the other is a sophomore in high school. Contact can only be made by letter and telephone.

In 1995, mobile phones were still a luxury, what was the experience of a high school student holding a brick-like hand? Good boy really wants to feel it.

The time is still relatively early, about 8:45, only to see 6 black cars almost at the same time to arrive at the JB district station, on the right hand side is a black S320 tiger head Ben, behind is a line of 2 black Toyota RZJ95 off-road vehicles, on the left hand side is a black BMW 740 head, behind a line of two Mitsubishi V33 off-road vehicles.

Almost at the same time, the driver got out of the car at the beginning of the car and opened the door for the person in the back seat. Waiting for the important person to get out of the car, the entourage on the off-road vehicle behind got out of the car and stood neatly behind the important task.

So Guan Hao and Cao Wan saw the family who picked them up at the same time: it was Guan Jinru, the sixth uncle of the Guan family, who got down from the Mercedes-Benz, and Cao Zhenxuan, the father of Cao Wan, the third son of the Cao family, who got down from the BMW.

"Uncle Six!"

"Daddy!"

"Let's go home!" All four spoke almost simultaneously.

Guan Hao's eyes fell on Cao Wan, who was full of tears, and after a while, he said softly: "Wan'er, take care, we'll contact you again!" ”

Cao Wan looked at Guan Hao, gritted her teeth, and finally mustered up the courage to run over and hug Guan Hao's neck, and raised her head to kiss Guan Hao's mouth.

The parents who came to pick up the people on both sides were stunned, only to see the sixth uncle of the Guan family with a proud face, while the father of the Cao family was full of distress as if he had been robbed of his lover.

"Take care!" The good boy politely patted Wan'er on the shoulder.

The two young men reluctantly separated, and Cao Wan stood behind her father wrigglingly, not daring to open her eyes to look at her father.

Guan Hao walked straight to Cao Wan's father, stretched out his right hand, and said respectfully to Cao's father: "Uncle Cao, hello, I'm Guan Hao!" "After all, the first time I met Wan'er's parents, I had to make a good impression.

"You are the kid of the Guan family who saved our Wan'er? Not bad! Not bad! Not bad! Hello, I'm Cao Zhenxuan, thank you for saving Wan'er! Father Cao looked at Guan Hao carefully, and also stretched out his right hand to hold Guan Hao's outstretched right hand vigorously.

During the whole process, there was no communication between the two seniors.

The sixth uncle took Guan Hao into the car, and Cao's father also took Wan'er into his own car.

The entourage in the back all got into the car. Each drove home.

Along the way, Guan Hao told his sixth uncle the whole story.
