Just when Ba Ye said that Starfish Island was saved and people cheered,
The smoke and dust on the rock wall cleared, revealing a large pit with a radius of about one meter.
"Water..., where's the water?"
"Didn't the scholar say there is water? How could there be no water?"
"There is no water at all. Alas, the scholar lied to us."
"Yes, the scholar is a big liar..."
The dissatisfaction with Hou Yao among the crowd reached its peak.
Nothing is more heartbreaking than giving someone hope and then destroying it alive.
The crowd dispersed one after another, with disappointment written all over their faces.
If Hou Yao knew that the result of his desperate blasting on the rock wall was the abuse of the islanders, he would probably be sad for a while.
Fortunately, he was now feeling the softness of Yu Xiuer's breasts with all his heart, and had no idea about the words spoken on the deserted beach.
Yu Xiuer struggled to sit up. At this moment, she just wanted to see if the water source Hou Yao mentioned existed.
Without the soft breasts to rely on, Hou Yao also opened his eyes and looked at Yu Xiuer's face:
"Madam, are you okay?"
Yu Xiuer shook her head gently:
"Ms. sir, I'm fine. It's just that my hand is slightly strained. I'll be fine after a while of rest."
Hou Yao sat up and moved his body a little, only to feel that there was no pain anywhere on his body:
"That's good. I feel like I'm falling apart. Can you help me? I want to go to the cliff."
Yu Xiuer stood up with support and used her body to lift Hou Yao up.
Here Zhou Tiesheng also picked up the unconscious Liu Ergou and walked towards the cliff step by step.
Everyone's purpose is the same, which is to see if the water source has come out.
There is no water?
The result was so disappointing...
Hou Yao never expected such a result. He could see moss, so how could there be no water?
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard some strange sounds coming from below:
"Gulu gulu gulu..."
The sound was very loud and lasted for a long time,
Everyone on the deserted beach also heard this strange sound,
What is that sound?
Everyone was puzzled and looked around to find the source of the sound.
I don’t know who shouted:
"The sound came from the top of the rock wall..."
Then everyone's eyes turned towards the rock wall.
"Gulu gulu..."
The sound grew louder and louder, like thunder,
Everyone held their breath, full of hope and afraid of disappointment, with their hearts in their throats.
Is the water coming out? Is the water coming out?
"Gulu, gulu... bang - swish, swish, swish."
A torrent of water spurted out from the large crater in the rock wall in the shape of a jet.
After the first wave of jet-like water flowed out, the following water flowed down the rock wall in the shape of a waterfall.
The people on the beach were all running towards the bottom of the rock wall like crazy.
A naked child would fall down while running. Normally, he would cry for a long time.
But today I didn’t even hum. I got up and kept running.
Finally someone rushed to the bottom of the rock wall and couldn't wait to grab the water and take a sip.
It tastes extremely sweet, really fresh water,
The crowd burst into earth-shattering cheers and jumped into the water to play.
On the top of the cliff, Yu Xiuer and Zhou Tiesheng shed tears of excitement.
Hou Yao's heart also returned to his stomach:
"It's just that you got a little wet. Are you so happy?"
Yu Xiuer kissed Hou Yao on the mouth excitedly:
"Of course, sir, you saved us and everyone on Haixing Island."
Zhou Tiesheng knelt in front of Hou Yao on the spot:
"Mr. Hou, I'm sorry. I was the one who offended you before. From now on, I, Zhou Tiesheng, will leave my life to you.
As long as the young master gives the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Hou Yao laughed twice and said:
"You get up first, I don't have the strength to help you now, okay, this is just the beginning, the good days are yet to come.
Come on, let’s go back first. In this state, we can only go back from behind the cliff. Damn, it’s so far..."
…
Just when there was a lot of joy on Starfish Island,
A group of uninvited guests came to Blackfish Island,
When Yu Xiuer brought people to the island to ambush Bai Tao, they only briefly cleaned up the conspicuous places on the island.
The corpses killed by Jiang Hong and his group were taken to the cave and discarded.
Yao Yingzhe took Fu Bo and several other guards to the island successfully.
After wandering around the island, I found the cave where Bai Bo hides his treasure.
As soon as we reached the entrance of the cave, a choking stench came out.
Yao Yingzhe frowned and cursed:
"Those big soldiers are really unreliable. So many people searched the island, but no one found it here."
Fu Bo sighed softly:
"In the past two years, the imperial court has been lacking in voice and the troops have no fighting spirit. If the commander had not subsidized part of the military resources himself,
The army has mutinied long ago. Look at the north. How many times have they mutinied?
You can’t expect them to work hard.”
Yao Yingzhe covered his mouth and nose with a piece of fragrant handkerchief and walked towards the cave, looking around as he walked:
"There are no signs of large-scale fighting in this cave, but there are more than 20 corpses. It's really strange.
You guys, see if you can find out the cause of death of the body."
Uncle Fu said "yes" and then knelt down to look at the rotting corpses.
Yao Yingzhe walked to the opened stone door and exclaimed:
"I never expected that such a broken island would have such a sophisticated stone gate. I had underestimated the Kaiba Gang before.
If this person can be mine, the success rate of the great cause will be several percent higher."
Forbes finished examining all the corpses:
"Master, the old servant has finished checking. There are twenty-one corpses, two of which were hacked to death with random knives.
Apparently there had been a fight before his death, and there were three other corpses with obvious fatal injuries.
Like being hacked to death by a master with a knife,
As for the other corpses, there were no obvious injuries or signs of fighting.
However, there were cuts on the neck bones of two corpses, which seemed to have been caused by someone slitting their throats.
The old servant guessed that these people were attacked unprepared."
Yao Yingzhe smiled in surprise:
"Sneak attack? That would be interesting. With such a sophisticated mechanism here, it must be the most important treasure hiding place of the Haima Gang.
Those five corpses who died in the fight should be the treasure keepers here.
The rest of the corpses should have been brought here after being killed, which is interesting.
I heard that Bai Bo has always been mean to others, so it’s not surprising that some of his subordinates rebelled.
But since you chose to rebel, why did you have to laboriously move these corpses into the cave?"
Fu Bo smiled and said:
"I guess they are planning to set up an ambush outside, but judging from the situation outside, the ambush is probably not effective.
Or maybe they ended up solving the problem at sea."
Yao Yingzhe nodded and said:
"It's possible that Bai Bo's skills are not weak and it's not that easy to deal with. Who do you think won in the end?"
Fu Bo shook his head:
"The old servant can't guess, but judging from the current situation, Bai Bo has probably lost, and the winner must also know something.
And they have good ingenuity, otherwise they will not abandon Heiyu Island."
Yao Yingzhe smiled and said:
"I think so too. Bai Bo never trusts people easily. There are no more than three people who know his secrets.
And the only one who can have such a clever plan is Jiang Hong, who has no plan at all."
Uncle Fu sneered:
"Does a failed scholar deserve to be considered a mastermind?"
Yao Yingzhe laughed loudly:
"It's not 'yi', it's 'one'. I was confused for a while when I heard this rumor before.
Later I found out that this was the title Bai Bo had given him when he was teasing him.
He was not ashamed, but proud of it, so he was used.
But now it seems that this Jiang Hong is much deeper than imagined, and he is also a rival."
Uncle Fu raised his head in surprise and said:
"Young master, you actually regard Jiang Hong as your opponent? Are you looking up to him too highly?"
Yao Yingzhe shook his head and said:
"A scholar who can put his face aside and lower his stature to such a low level is definitely not an easy character to deal with.
Let’s go, this island has no value anymore…”
A group of people walked out of the cave. Uncle Fu thought for a while and said:
"Master, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we're afraid we won't be able to go back to Fucheng.
In my humble opinion, let’s spend the New Year in Hai County before leaving.”
Yao Yingzhe thought for a while and said:
"That's fine. Ren Hongcai and Hou Er said two days ago that they would hold a cultural gathering and asked me to hold the flag.
Originally I wasn't interested, but since I want to stay for the New Year, I'll let them do it.
Just take a look at the literary talents of Hai County scholars."
Wen Hui holding the flag means referee,
Usually when holding cultural gatherings, famous Confucian masters are invited to hold the flag. Yao Yingzhe was just a scholar.
Theoretically speaking, he is not qualified to be the flag bearer of the Xiucai Cultural Association.
But he is recognized as the most talented person in the South China Sea, and he has a prominent family background and background.
In addition, there are no famous Confucian masters in Hai County itself, so it is reasonable for him to fill the role.
Fu Bo chuckled:
"Now the scholars in Hai County are very lucky. They can get the blessings from the master's guidance in their previous lives."
…
Find the water source and revitalize the entire Starfish Island,
Hou Yao's status in the minds of the islanders has reached its peak.
But no one would shirk anything he ordered.
His words are more effective than the leader of the gang, Yu Xiuer.
This also enabled everything he had to do before to be implemented smoothly.
For example, they planted sweet potatoes and corn and forced the children on the island to learn how to read from Jiang Hong.
You are not allowed to drink raw water, build toilets to go to the toilet, and you are not allowed to defecate in public, etc.
Everything is slowly getting on track, and it’s already the eve of New Year’s Eve.
Hou Yao took Yu Xiuer home to celebrate the New Year.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhou Yu leaning his head and asking:
"Hey, why are you two alone? Where is Shen Yuluoyan? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Hou Yao has a black line on his head:
"Mom, why are you asking them? Why would a young girl like this just go home with someone else?"
Zhou Yu said with a dissatisfied look:
"Sooner or later we are all one family, what's there to care about? Oh, Xiu'er, come in quickly."
Yu Xiuer walked forward quickly, bowed and said:
"Happy New Year, aunt."
Zhou Yu took Yu Xiuer's hand affectionately and said:
"You don't need to be so polite as a family. By the way, my aunt happens to be looking for you for something. Let's go to the back room to talk."
Yu Xiuer nodded and was pulled into the room by Ren Zhouyu. When she saw Hou Fu holding a book and reading it, she called out:
"Happy New Year, Dad."
Hou Fu nodded slightly and smiled:
"Happy New Year."
Zhou Yu took Yu Xiuer's hand and dragged her into the house with an impatient look:
"Ignore that nerd, go and go into the back room. I have something to tell you."
