Chapter 279 Two teachers came

The boss of the ship whispered to Xing Yi that he was not No. 1 in spying on the shipwreck.

When the boss of the boat closed his mouth, Xing Yi asked: "You said I came late, does that mean someone has already come to salvage it?"

The captain's cigarette went out, he lit the lighter again, took two puffs and said, "Yes, someone came to inquire about it a month before you did."

"Who is here? Found the sunken ship?"

"I won't say who is coming. It doesn't matter what happened to him, because the result is the same."

"I understand, there are no shipwrecks in the river, is this the result?"

"You know everything, so that's fine. But just tell your friend, if he doesn't believe it, just wait until January or February for a visit."

"January or February? What will happen when that time comes?"

"At that time, I was free and had nothing to do."

"I know what you mean. It doesn't rain for a long time in January and February, and the water in the river recedes."

"Yes, by that time, the water in the Xingjiang River will be less than five feet deep. The water will dry out and the rocks will appear. All the rocks at the bottom of the river will be exposed. People can walk to the middle and it will be clear what the situation is."

Having said that, there is no hope for this Xingjiang River, so are there any other rivers?Xing Yi looked around and asked the boat boss: "Based on your common sense, do you know that there are larger rivers within a hundred miles nearby?"

The boat boss looked up at the sky: "As far as I know, there is no river bigger than this Xingjiang River. If there is one, hundreds of miles away, Wujiang River and Yuanjiang River, that is the river you want."

The boss of the ship was just joking. Xing Yi couldn't be more verbose.There happened to be five people here, and they all wanted to go to the other side. With Xing Yi, there were enough people.

The boat boss stood up and started to collect the money. When it was Xing Yi's turn, he opened his palm to block the boat and said, "Your boat fare back is free, so I'll treat you."

After landing, Xing Yi said hello to the boss of the ship and followed those people.

The boss of the ship said: "You're leaving now and don't want to talk anymore?"

Xing Yi took out his cell phone, raised it, and said, "I need to go up a little to call my friend back. There is no signal by the river. Sorry for delaying you."

The boss of the ship said: "There is nothing about the shipwreck. Do you want to hear about the sinking of the suitcase?"

Xing Yi stopped: "Has anyone sunk a suitcase into this river?"

"Come on, I'll tell you."

The boss of the boat smoked leaves and told him about it.

"It didn't happen long ago. It happened three years ago, and it was on my boat. It was winter at that time, and there were very few people crossing the river. It took most of the time for two people to come.

“The ones who came were a man and a woman, both young. When they arrived, they said they were willing to pay a high price and let me take them to the middle of the river to look for a suitcase.

“I said there were pigs, cows, horses and sheep that fell into the river, there were tables, chairs and benches, and suitcases fell into the river, but I’ve never heard of that.

"They repeatedly asked me the name of the river and whether there was any place wider or deeper than this section of the river. I repeatedly explained the situation to them, but they still didn't believe it, and finally took out a letter and showed it to me.

"I read very little and couldn't recognize a few words, so they read it to me.

"It's about an old officer who led his troops to fight with others, but was defeated and chased by the other party all the way to the river. The old officer was accompanied by a wife, a suitcase, and two horses.

"When we got to the middle of the river by boat, the enemy came after us. They set up machine guns and started shooting. My wife, two horsemen and the boss of the boat were shot one after another and fell down. The officer was also injured. Before the enemy got on the boat, he threw the suitcase away. Into the river.

"The officer was arrested and stayed in a cell for ten years. However, there was still war and the cell was blown up. He was able to escape, and after many twists and turns, he went to Hong Kong.

"Twenty years later, when he was old, he was thinking about his wife on the boat and the suitcase in the river, so he was ready to look for it. Before he left, he suddenly fell ill and became bedridden. His condition became more and more serious. , there was no hope in the end. He had no descendants, and the nurse was very kind to him, so he left this letter to the nurse.

"The nurse wanted to come back but couldn't go through the procedures, so she told her cousin in the mainland and sent this letter to her, and she brought her boyfriend over.

"The water in the Xingjiang River is shallow, so it is difficult to sink a boat, but it should be possible to sink a box, so I accompanied these two young people, looking for suitcases on the river during the day, and arranged for them to live in the village at night.

“I searched for it for a whole week, and my wormwood stalk poked through the bottom of the river inch by inch, but I couldn’t find it.

"On the morning of the eighth day, I waited for them by the river. No one was seen for most of the day. I went to the residence to ask, and they were told that they had left.

"I agreed in advance that I would be paid 50 yuan a day, but I didn't get any of it."

After he finished speaking, the cigarette was gone. He rolled it up again, but his eyes were fixed on the river.

Xing Yi asked: "They are gone, will you continue to search?"

"To tell you the truth, I pay attention to it every day. When I insert the stalk, I am looking for a feeling. It feels like nothing but a stone. As time goes by, the hope fades away."

"Have you told this story to others?"

"Come on, whenever anyone mentions the shipwreck, I will tell them."

"How did they feel after hearing your story?"

The boss of the ship shrugged: "Old man, they say you are good at telling stories. Why don't we just set up a table here and increase the money for tea. It's a good idea, what do you think?"

Xing Yi disagreed and subconsciously took another look at the sparkling river.When I first arrived at the river, it felt quite wide, but now that I saw it, it felt very narrow. I stood up, picked up a stone, and threw it to the other bank without using much force.

Someone shouted from across the river: "Boatman, ferry over."

The boss of the boat went to untie the rope on the wooden pile, and then waved his hand to him to say goodbye.

When the car returned to the road, the mobile phone signal was restored. I took it out and saw three missed calls, all from Bao Xiaogang.The purified water direct sales point was moved to Guangming Hotel. He graduated from a vocational school, had a moderate level of education and could do accounting, so they were handed over to him.He also entrusted him to find someone to raise sika deer. He had raised cattle and had experience.

Wei Junlong is running the hotel, and he is also studying to complete his studies.It was estimated that he was about to leave and Bao Xiaogang would be too busy by himself, so he asked for help.

Called back and said, "I'm in the countryside and on my way back. There was no signal before, but it's fine now. Xiaogang, what's the matter?"

Bao Xiaogang said: "Two teachers from the university came and asked Boss Wei for money."

"The teacher came to Wei Junlong to ask for money? What money do you want?"

"Values ​​storage fee."

"Isn't he at the hotel?"

"No."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know. Early the morning before yesterday, he gave me the key and said he was going to do something. Then he left and he hasn't come back today."

"Where are the university teachers who came?"

"Stay here and wait for him."

"Did you ask what valuables it was?"

"They didn't tell me, and I didn't pay the housing fee. I really don't know what to do. Please come back quickly."

What valuable item, how much does it cost to keep it, is it worth sending two people to ask for it?

What valuables can Wei Junlong leave in school?Painting supplies?That's not worth much money.
