It was still early before dark, so Xin Yi went to Miss Cao's house and borrowed a fishing net and a few bundles of thick hemp rope. He said he was going to catch a net in the evening to see if he could catch some fish and sell them to make money to supplement his family's income.

Mrs. Cao kept saying that she didn't have to work so hard and quickly found a man to marry her, but she felt a little sorry for this thin little widow who had lost her husband. Her perception of her was no longer the vicious stepmother she disliked so much at first.

.

While borrowing the fishing net, Mrs. Cao asked her Tiedan family to bring a bucket of small crucian carp...

Xin Yi was not too polite to her and asked her husband to keep the crucian carp in the water tank in the yard. When she saw three little ones squatting next to the fish and chattering, she smiled and called her husband into the room and took out the things in the cage.

Come out and place them on the bed one by one.

For this operation, Xin Yi made full preparations.

Bianjing City has developed commerce and there is no shortage of any commodity. Two days ago, she spent a lot of money to buy a water bag and a fish skin hat from a fishing shop.

Water jacket is a kind of clothing used by fishermen on the seaside to collect pearls in the water. Most of them are made of fish skin, sea dragon skin or shark skin, and are conjoined from top to bottom. They have a smooth appearance, are very warm, and can swim quickly underwater.

The diving time will also be longer, and the appearance is somewhat similar to modern diving suits.

The sharkskin bodyrest and fishskin hat she bought for twenty taels of silver felt of good quality, and she was full of confidence.

"Close the door and help me."

My beloved looked at the clothes on the bed in confusion.

"Sister, what is this..."

"Wear it when you go into the water."

My beloved said in admiration, "Sister knows everything."

Just in case, Xin Yi carefully checked the water support, tried it on again, and then handed it over to his beloved with satisfaction.

"When I enter the water at night, I will tie a hemp rope around my waist. You must pay attention to my movements at all times on the boat. If I shake the thick rope, you will pull me up. Do you understand?"

My beloved nodded, with a little excitement in his eyes.

At night, when the three little ones fell asleep, Xin Yi secretly took his beloved and boarded a small boat out of the Bian River.

The wind was strong at night and the boat was rocking. My husband used his memory to find the reef he had seen during the day.

Xin Yi glanced at Zhuangzi across the river, silently tied a thick rope around his waist, inserted a dagger, and then did warm-up exercises and breathing adjustments on the boat for at least two quarters of an hour before tentatively entering the water...

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Xinyi was so cold that he gave up even if he was wearing water.

After surfacing, she took a deep breath, repeatedly adjusted and mentally built up, and sank to the bottom of the river again.

She slowly tried it from shallow to deep, several times, and her body became colder and colder. She finally made up her mind and plunged in hard.

The beloved man shouted softly on the boat.

"Sister, you have to be careful."

She was too scared, but Xin Yi told her not to make a sound. She could only bite her lower lip tightly, open her eyes wide in the river breeze, and stare motionlessly at the thick hemp rope swinging slightly on the water, thinking constantly in her heart.

"Buddha bless".

After Xin Yi entered the water, she had no goggles and poor visibility, making it difficult to stay underwater for too long. She held her breath and concentrated, groping for it underwater with her hands and her physical memories of doing this task.

Nearing the bottom of the river, her body was almost numb from the cold, but the human body's functions were powerful and she gradually adapted to the water temperature. The time she spent in the water became longer and longer each time, and the scope of her exploration became wider and wider each time.

Slippery water plants, thick floating mud, hard rocks...

Where is that sunken ship?

Xin Yi kept adjusting his direction. When he sank to the bottom of the water for the umpteenth time, he finally touched a hard wooden board in the thick layer of silt. He continued to explore and confirm that it indeed looked like a ship board...

This is it!

Xin Yi's heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of her throat.

She was only one step away from huge wealth. Her perseverance to make a fortune made her not rush to the surface, but to explore based on her memory...

She remembered that the wooden boxes containing fragrant medicine were wrapped in tin sheets and were just under the ship's plank. Xinyi pushed the plank little by little and used his extraordinary strength to lift the plank and push it to one side.

But no tin or wooden box was found.

She was afraid that she would deviate from her position when she entered the water again, so she tied another rope she had prepared in advance to the boat board and grabbed the end of the rope to get out of the water for air.

"Sister!" My husband saw her jumping out of the water like a fish, and nervously lay on the board of the boat and asked, "Did you find it? Did you find the treasure?"

Seeing her nervous look, Xin Yi laughed.

"It's almost time. Pass me the fishing net..."

The beloved man panicked and did as he was told.

This time, Xin Yi pulled the fishing net and went into the water along the rope. He was going to find the box and use the fishing net to pull it up.

The existence of the sunken ship proves that the chief planner's brain damage has not been cured, and the mission has not changed at all. Even if there is a difference in location, it will not be too far away.

Xin Yi's heartbeat quickened.

Where is it?

Where is the tin suitcase?

It was very torturous under the dark water. Just when Xin Yi felt that she was approaching the critical point of entering the water and needed to surface again for air, she finally found a box...

It's a box, square and made of smooth tin.

Xin Yi was overjoyed and pulled the fishing net over...

Well, the box was a bit light. She subconsciously felt something was wrong, but without a chance to hesitate or think, she pushed the box into the net...

At this time, my hand slipped and touched a strange object.

Soft, like a dead fish. There are also knotted ropes and stones...

Xin Yi pulled off the rope, lifted up the stone, and continued groping for a while, his fingers suddenly became stiff.

People! That’s a person!

No, technically a corpse.

The corpse was stuck between the box and the stone, and the rotten skin felt like stinky tofu...

Xin Yi's mind buzzed, as if he was lacking oxygen, and he shook the rope almost subconsciously...

The husband quickly pulled her up.

"How is sister? Have you found her?"

Xin Yi breathed heavily and stared at his beloved, his eyes were strangely strange, and it took him a long while before he said a word.

"Corpse."

"What?"

"There are bodies under the water."

"Ah!" My beloved turned pale, "Should we report it to the official?"

Xin Yi took a breath, calmed down, and shook his head calmly, "No. At least not now."

Once she reports to the official, all her fragrant medicine and her white bean will be ruined.

Xin Yi made up his mind to pick up the box first before talking about it.

"Don't be afraid. It was probably the boatman who fell into the water and drowned when the ship sank..."

She lowered her head and tied the rope around her waist, took a deep breath, and was about to enter the water again, but she saw her husband's expression suddenly changed.

"Sister, sister... look, what's behind you..."

Xin Yi turned around suddenly.

Not far from the reef, a body surfaced.

The color of the rotten clothes could not be seen clearly, and they were floating there quietly. In the dim night, it was hard to see clearly, but it was extremely scary.

My husband was just surprised at first, but when he saw the long hair of the floating object, he screamed reflexively...

"Dead people. They are dead people."

The body was originally stuck between stones and a tin wooden box and could not come out. It was Xinyi who flipped the wooden box and let it surface.

Xin Yi's head grew bigger.

There are also boats traveling on the Bianhe River at night.

Once the body is discovered, it is not a question of whether she should report it to the authorities.

"Sister, what should we do? Should we report it to the official?"

The husband was timid and frightened. Xin Yi pulled the rope and half of his body was floating on the water. He frowned slightly and looked past the boat to a river work boat with night lights that was approaching not far away.

Looking at the man standing facing the wind on the bow of the boat, he couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that Fu Jiuqu has never trusted her and has always sent people to monitor her.

"No need to report to the official. The official is right in front of you."

The wind on the river became a bit stronger, and the cold wind made the tarpaulin flutter.
