"No, there really isn't …" Han Dewang, the private tour guide, said. "I checked and asked my friends. There aren't any martial arts clubs on the island!"
"No? Mm … "Zhao Yu was disappointed. According to his understanding of Miao Ying, the local martial arts clubs, especially those with unique features, would definitely be attractive to her. But, it was a pity that there weren't any on the island.
"Mm … I don't know if Mister Zhao did any research before coming here." Han Dewang was indeed a competent tour guide. He immediately started talking about his profession. "Do you know what the Landing used to do?" he asked.
"I know, I know …" Su Jinmei raised her hand and said, "I did some research. The Landing used to be a gathering place for the aborigines. There was even a war in the nineteenth century! Then, because the island produced a type of propolis, they built a breeding farm. There were many bee farms on the island. Mm … The bees were called … Mm … "
"Manuka …" Han Dewang smiled and said, "Just as I expected. Actually, the information that you found on the internet was added by the local government! Many things were skipped over in a hurry! "
He then added, "Since the nineties, the local government has been working hard to develop the island. They wanted to turn it into a tourist attraction.
So, they made some changes to the island's history and made it look new. Then, they promoted the island in various tourist products in Auckland. After many years of hard work, it became what it is today! " Han Dewang suddenly changed the topic and said mysteriously, "But, you don't know that the Landing is actually not a gathering place for the aborigines, nor is it the hometown of propolis. Its history is full of darkness!"
He then added, "The Maori performances on the island are performed by performing groups from all over the world. The bee farms are just a gimmick, mainly to sell honey and propolis! Actually …
"Hehe … Let me tell you. A hundred years ago, the Landing was the biggest prison in New Zealand! At least half of the criminals on the north island were sent there, and most of them were felons! "
He then added, "The island's location is unique, making it an ideal place to imprison prisoners. I heard that, under the backward conditions, there wasn't even a single prison break!"
"Wow!" Su Jinmei was shocked. "It's actually a place to imprison prisoners! It sounded so good! "Director Han, I don't quite understand. If the government uses the name of Prisoner Island, just like" Brave Adventure on Deadly Island ", wouldn't that be more of a gimmick? More attractive? "
"That's true, but …" Han Dewang smiled and said, "The Landing isn't just a prison. It's also a famous execution ground! All the death row criminals were killed here! In the past hundred years, the locals had called this place the Island of the Dead! Think about it, with such an unlucky gimmick, the government wouldn't dare to gamble on it!
"In comparison, it's better to follow the tourism model of China. Do cultural performances and sell local specialties. It's more sunny and reliable!"
"The Island of the Dead? Oh my god! "Su Jinmei furrowed her brows." This name is really unlucky! I don't want to go anymore! "
Zhao Yu felt the same way. When he thought about his purpose of going to the Landing, he felt that it was a little inauspicious.
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry!" Han Dewang quickly said, "Things are different now! The prison and execution grounds of the past had long since disappeared! The security on the island was also not a problem. There were more than 3,000 locals living on the island. Every year during this season, more than 20,000 tourists would come to the island for sightseeing. Other than watching performances and shopping, there were also recreational activities such as diving and speedboats. No one would go back to reminisce about that dark and horrifying history!
"Oh, yeah …" Han Dewang was excited when he talked about his own business. "There's a new shooting range on the island. New Zealand doesn't prohibit guns, so you can indulge yourself with guns …"
Zhao Yu and Su Jinmei didn't pay attention to the rest of what he was saying. They were there to look for someone, so how could they be in the mood to have fun?
When the ship arrived at the pier of the Landing, it was already past nine in the evening. The Polanti Hotel that Zhao Yu had booked was the largest and most luxurious hotel on the island. They even sent a special bus to pick up the tourists at the pier.
As it was the last ship, there weren't many tourists on the ship. Most of them were locals. On the bus, besides Zhao Yu, Su Jinmei, and Su Jinmei, everyone else was basically the hotel's staff.
When they arrived at the hotel and were about to check in, something unexpected happened.
Before this, Zhao Yu didn't know that Su Jinmei would be coming, so he had only booked a room in the hotel. Later, when they arrived in Auckland, Zhao Yu asked Han Dewang to contact the hotel to book another room for Su Jinmei.
However, when they arrived at the hotel, they suddenly told them that there weren't any extra rooms available!
It turned out that a European tour group had been stranded, so they couldn't book another room!
Sigh!
When Zhao Yu heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh.
Everything in the world is unpredictable! Zhao Yu knew that this was probably the power of the "Kan" hexagram that day!
Once upon a time, he had hoped that he would be able to travel with a beautiful woman, only to find that there was only one room left in the hotel! However, when he looked at Su Jinmei with her big and cute eyes, he didn't feel proud at all.
"Oh no!" Su Jinmei said nervously to Zhao Yu. "Master, you said that as long as I was obedient, you would take care of me! It's already so late, so you can't let me sleep on the streets! "
"Mm …" Zhao Yu looked at Han Dewang for help, then asked, "Tour guide, where are you staying tonight?"
"Oh … Of course, I can't afford to stay in such a luxurious hotel! I will pick you up tomorrow morning. As for breakfast, you can go to the restaurant directly … "Han Dewang said.
"I'm asking you where you are staying?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"Oh … It's like this. The tour guide fee that you gave me includes my accommodation, but the standard is naturally different from yours!" Han Dewang said honestly. "Originally, I could book a room in a small hotel nearby, but I happen to have a friend here, so I will be staying at their place tonight. So, I can keep the money for myself! "
"Then …"
Seeing that Zhao Yu was hesitating, Su Jinmei quickly said, "Master, you aren't asking me to go with him, are you? I am a girl! You can't be so heartless! "
"Mm … Cough cough …" Han Dewang coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, the policies in New Zealand are very relaxed. When a man and a woman stay in a hotel, they don't need to look at their marriage certificate!"
"What the f * ck? Mm …" Zhao Yu wanted to curse, but he felt that it wasn't the right time to do so. So, he said angrily, "You don't need to do that in China!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Han Dewang was afraid that he would annoy his big client, so he immediately nodded and said, "Then … Then, I will leave first! If there is a language barrier, the hotel has a manager who specializes in Chinese. It's getting late, so you two should rest early! Rest early! "
After saying that, he slipped away like a streak of oil on his soles …
