Chapter 282 Secret Passage
Gritting his teeth, he lifted Daniel onto his shoulders. The 1.8-meter-tall fat boy almost hurt Ye Dashao's pampered waist. Ye Lin stumbled back two steps, and with the strength of his right leg, he pushed against the sofa and finally managed to stabilize his body.
Glancing sideways at the wall clock, they only had two minutes and seventeen seconds left.
This won't work.
Carrying Daniel on his back, he couldn't get out at all at his speed.
Jumping off the building is even more impossible. When this castle was first built, in order to defend against enemies, the foundation was built very high. The height of the third floor is about the same as the eighth or ninth floor of the building outside. If you jump down, you can be directly cremated.
Beads of sweat slid down Ye Lin's forehead to the floor, and his heart beat faster, almost bursting out of his chest.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment,
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashed across my eyes.
He remembered a way out.
Two minutes and nine seconds,
Ye Lin carried Daniel out of the bedroom and took the side stairs straight to the main study on the southeast side of the second floor.
Ah Hui ran up to the second floor in one breath. Before he could catch his breath and was about to rush to the third floor, a figure wearing a beige backpack flashed by on the east side of the second floor corridor.
It's strange. There is only a study over there, and it's a dead end. Why would the young master run there?
Thinking he had seen it wrong, Ah Hui chased after him and called out tentatively, "Master? Is that you?"
Ye Lin stepped out of the study room just as he was about to enter.
After seeing who is coming,
The hope that had just risen in his heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and he almost collapsed and shouted: "Oh my god, what are you doing here!"
Seeing that it was really the young master, Ah Hui ran over faster and said, "I came to find you. There's no way here, young master. Are you dizzy?"
No time to talk to him anymore,
Ye Lin lowered his head and quickly glanced at the watch he was holding.
One minute and thirty seconds,
The castle is so large that even without any burden, it would take at least two minutes for a person to run out of here at full speed.
It seems that someone will fail here today.
"Oh,"
Ye Lin laughed helplessly.
Since everything is a foregone conclusion, why rush?
"My young master, it's already this late and you're still laughing. The stairs are over there! Give me Daniel." Ah Hui felt that the young master was probably so frightened that he couldn't even find the way.
He pulled Daniel onto his back and motioned Ye Lin to go back with him up the stairs.
Seeing that Ye Lin had no intention of moving, Ah Hui was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters: "Master, why don't you leave!"
Ye Lin shook his head slightly and stood there without moving.
Suddenly, his eyebrows curved, and he looked at Ah Hui with a smile. His eyes, as deep as the starry sky, revealed infinite tenderness. If you look closely, there seems to be a hint of reluctance.
I looked at the two people in front of me carefully again, and the image was deeply imprinted in my heart.
Ye Lin turned his gaze away from Daniel and turned to Ah Hui's anxious face.
He had many bodyguards, but the only one who foolishly followed him after he had clearly forbidden them to do so, knowing that he would die, was Ah Hui.
The moment Ye Lin came out of the study and saw Ah Hui, he knew that he would not be able to leave today.
Patting Ah Hui on the shoulder, he said softly, "Ah Hui, if you choose to catch up with me, then I choose you too."
"Come in, there is a secret passage in the room."
Not understanding Ye Lin's flowery little prose, Ah Hui tilted his head and uttered a puzzled sound: "What? Chasing me?"
One minute and fifteen seconds,
Under the desk in the castle master's study, there is a secret passage leading to the back mountain.
Two hundred years ago, the Fairburn family was still a bandit leader, fighting and robbing everywhere every day, their main goal was to rob the rich to support themselves.
In order to prevent the family from being defeated in a war one day, the head of the Fairburn family at that time built an escape route for himself.
It's a pity that Fairburn was invincible, with successful robberies every day and rich rewards. However, this escape tunnel has not been used for more than two hundred years.
Unexpectedly,
Ye Lin actually used it in peacetime, which is really a shame to his ancestors.
Ye Lin took out an inconspicuous blue book from the fifth shelf. Inside the book was a thin diamond-shaped copper piece.
After getting the key, Ye Lin quickly walked back to the windowsill behind the desk, bent down to look for the slot hidden under the windowsill, and ran his hands across the deep wall. After touching a groove, he quickly inserted the copper piece in his hand into it, rotated it parallel to the groove half a circle, and then pushed it up with force.
The desk and the floor, originally located in the middle of the study, suddenly slid to the right, and a bottomless tunnel appeared before them.
There is no ladder, and there are smooth stone walls all around, which you need to jump down.
There is a secret compartment under the tunnel entrance. When it is opened, there is a simple speed reducer inside, and an escape rope is installed next to it.
"So cool! Brother, how come I didn't know there was this thing at home?" Daniel stretched his neck on Ah Hui's back and looked down, expressing his surprise.
Ah Hui wanted to ask, but when he saw that even Daniel, the second young master of Fairburn, didn't know, it was normal for him not to know, so he took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
This secret passage was originally built for escape. For safety reasons, only the then head of the Fairburn family knew of its existence.
From then on, only the successive heads of the family could know this secret, and it gradually became a custom.
When Ellie was alive, Ye Lin was the definite next head of the family, so he naturally knew about the secret passage.
Even Rebecca didn't know about the existence of the secret passage until Irene passed away.
"It's not that I didn't have time to tell you." Ye Lin said to Daniel casually.
He bent down and fished out the rope from the secret passage, stretched out his arms and pulled it hard to both sides to confirm that it was still strong.
I heard from Irene that this rope was replaced ten years ago. I hope Ah Hui and Daniel won’t fall down halfway.
"Stand still, I'll tie you both up." Ye Lin waved his hand to signal Ah Hui to come over with Daniel on his back.
Until Ye Lin tied him up with a safety rope,
Ah Hui finally realized something was wrong and pulled up Ye Lin, who was squatting on the ground adjusting the rope for them. Staring into Ye Lin's calm eyes, he suddenly felt a little panicked: "Master, why is there only one rope? Why aren't you tied with us?"
