"Dad, this year's rice is really good. It seems that we finally don't have to go hungry this year!"
Looking at the rice that had begun to bow its head in the field, Xiwang's heart was full of surprises.
The land of Lingnan has been in chaos recently, but fortunately, for people like them living at the bottom, the impact is not too great.
"God will reward you with food, let's go! Go back and catch some fish in the river. Let's eat meat tonight!"
Xiwang's father also had a smile on his face. The father and son have been busy for more than half a year, and now they finally feel confident.
Children in Lingnan have grown up in the river. Fishing in the river is naturally a necessary skill for children from poor families.
In this time of famine, this is the only way to support the whole family!
"okay!"
Xiwang has been a master of middle school since he was a child. Now that his father said this, he felt even more happy.
"Dad, this is a picture I got when I went into town yesterday to sell fish. It looks so much like our Toad Bay. How about we go there today?"
Xiwang asked tentatively while his father was happy.
"How can there be such a good thing in this world? Our father and son's family are all poor. We just need to work hard on the land. It is not our turn to do this kind of thing!"
"It's not far anyway, just two or three miles! If you don't want to go, I will take the pillar with me!"
Seeing his father's frown, Xiwang was a little scared, but hearing about people getting rich one by one made him feel a little itchy.
"Go and go, whatever you like, but remember, come back early in the evening! You are not allowed to go to the center of the river, there are undercurrents there!"
Although Xiwang's father was a little unhappy, looking at his son's honest and awkward smile, he still felt soft and said directly.
"okay!"
After Xiwang heard this, he turned around and ran away with a proud smile on his face.
"Brat!"
Seeing his son's relaxed look, Xiwang's father had a sad look on his face.
My son is already a grown man. When can I get him a wife?
But Xiwang didn't think so much. He hurried to Zhuzi's house and quietly called Zhuzi to come out. The two of them took the pig urine bubbles and the long hemp rope and headed towards Toad Bay.
"Brother Xiwang, how did you escape?"
Two young people always have endless things to talk about together, especially since they grew up together.
"Of course, it's while my father is happy, otherwise how could he escape! Stop talking nonsense, I'll go down first in a while, and you can watch the rope for me on the shore!"
Although the two of them often come to Toad Bay, there are many undercurrents near the location on this map.
Xiwang is really a bit timid by himself. After all, many people drowned in this place when he was a child.
This is not only a problem of water quality, but also requires the carefulness of the waiters on the shore.
"How about I go down and explore first? It's so hot on this hot day, it's quite comfortable to go down and take a shower!"
Zhu Zhu said with a playful smile.
"Let's get down to business first. After exploring the baby, are you still worried about not having time to drink?"
Xiwang glared at him angrily. The sun was about to set. If he didn't hurry up now, he wouldn't be able to see anything when it gets dark.
"Then I'll listen to you!"
Zhuzi also smiled honestly.
The two of them arrived at Toad Bay. Xiwang looked at the location on the map again. After comparing it with the map for a long time, he finally discovered that the location of the big box marked on the map seemed to be right in front of Toad Bay. center.
"I'll go down and take a look first. You can keep an eye on me on the shore! If I don't come back after half a stick of incense, you can pull me up quickly!"
There is a turbulent undercurrent in the center of the river, so even if Xiwang has good water quality, he would not dare to get close to it.
"Brother Xiwang, let's forget it. That place is really evil. If you get stuck in it, how will I explain to your father..."
Seeing that Xiwang was about to go into the water, Zhuzi suddenly wanted to retreat.
"It's already here. If I don't go down and take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep these days. Don't worry, just watch the rope for me! If we can find something, the two of us will marry each other. You don’t have to worry about anything anymore!”
Children from poor families have become parents early, and Xiwang and the two of them grew up together.
The situation of the two families is actually similar. Seeing that both of them have reached the age of marriage, however, in today's age when it is difficult to eat, it is really difficult to find a wife.
Seeing a great opportunity right in front of him, Xiwang was really unwilling to give up.
"Then, be careful..."
Zhuzi's face looked a little solemn.
"Don't worry!"
After Xiwang finished speaking, he stretched his waist and legs, and then jumped directly into the river with a splash.
He grew up in the river, so the water quality is naturally very good.
It didn't take long for him to reach the middle of the river.
Although he passed two undercurrents along the way, fortunately, he was quite lucky and managed to break free after spending some effort.
After blowing up the pig urine bubble in his hand, Xiwang took a deep breath and plunged directly into the river.
Calculating the location, this is probably where the picture is, but after groping around the bottom of the river for a few times, Xiwang still didn't find anything.
This made Xiwang a little depressed. It seemed that he really didn't have this life...
"How's it going, Brother Xiwang?"
He returned to the shore dejectedly, and the pillars hurriedly gathered around him.
"Nothing, all the hard work is in vain! It seems that the two of us really have no fate..."
Xiwang was a little frustrated.
"Why don't you talk about all this? Just rest for a while and I'll go down to the river and catch some fish for you!"
Although Zhu Zhu was a little disappointed, he still comforted him.
"Be careful!"
Xiwang said dejectedly.
"Don't worry, I know!"
After Zhuzhu finished speaking, he also went into the water directly.
He didn't have much time, so he caught a few big grass carps and landed them directly.
On the way back, Xiwang was still thinking about what happened just now. It would be great if he could figure out something...
It's just a pity that I was born...
"wrong!"
Xiwang seemed to suddenly think of something.
"What's wrong? Brother Xiwang!"
Zhu Zhu looked at Xiwang curiously.
"If you said you were asked to hide something, should you just throw it off the boat and leave..."
Xiwang's eyes suddenly widened.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Is it possible that the things they threw down could not be washed away by the river for a certain distance?"
After hearing what Xiwang said, Shunzi suddenly understood.
This damn place looks calm on the water, but when you actually get into the water, you will find that there is a turbulent undercurrent in the middle of the river.
If someone really hides something here, no matter how heavy the box is, if it is dropped, some of it will be washed away by the river...
"Go! Go back!"
