Chapter 306: People Die for Money
"I understand...... Oh yes, Brother Qian, who is that old man, and what did he say? "York was curious.
I groaned for a moment.
"His name is Dr. Liu, and he's my reborn parent......" I said slowly.
"Physician Liu? Is it a doctor? York asked.
"Not a doctor, but more powerful than a doctor." I replied softly.
"Oooh...... So what did you talk about? York then asked.
"He taught me a lot, a lot...... Arguably, make me* a real tough guy. He also helped me analyze who was the one who harmed me...... Together, we discussed ways to escape. I looked at the fish swimming in the nets and replied slowly.
"And how did you end up escaping?" York was curious.
"That's a long story. However, our first plan failed, and when we implemented the second plan, we were knocked unconscious by those people, and I was seriously injured in the thigh! However, just when I was most desperate, a miracle happened! What an endless road! I said out loud.
"What miracle?" York opened his mouth wide.
"You may not believe it, but it happened. The rat friends who played with me every day in the sewers of the dungeon rushed out, attacked the bad guys, and saved me! I gritted my teeth.
"How amazing is that?! Rats save people – it's amazing! York couldn't believe it.
"That's it, so ...... When I tell my own story, I am saying a truth, don't give up, the opportunity may really be waiting for you in the next second! York, do you get it? I said out loud.
York nodded thoughtfully.
"The treasure is wonderful and the wealth is coveted, but ...... Don't forget, it's all about preserving your life right now! With life, there can be everything else! Many times, we turn upside down, desperately pursuing those things outside of our bodies, and when we have everything, our lives are almost gone...... Isn't it common to see such people in our lives? I looked at him.
York froze, looking at me thoughtfully.
"Whether or not you can bring back this treasure under the sea, whether you can have this wealth in the future, don't think about it now, you know? The most important thing is that we are rescued safely! There is an old but philosophical saying in China: people die for money, and birds die for food - this is the truth, we cannot die for money! The treasure at the bottom of this sea is actually a great temptation, and its existence is fatal every minute! Let us die without a place to be buried! So! York, don't think about the treasure yet, okay? Let's leave this matter behind for a moment and concentrate on the question of survival, shall we? I stared into his eyeballs.
York's eyes widened and he nodded.
"Take advantage of the time now, big brother, even if you don't think about it, you can let me go down and grab a few more gold coins, okay? At least even if we can't come back to salvage in the future, we still have some gold coins in our hands! York said suddenly.
"Alas...... You stupid boy, you still don't understand after talking for a long time. Okay, but this time, I can't be as greedy as last time, and I want to swim up immediately, understand? I said out loud.
"Understood! Yes, sir! York nodded, shoved the coins into my hand, and jumped into the sea.
After a while, he finally emerged from the bottom of the water, panting. I pulled him up and sat on the log. He pulled out a lot of heavy gold coins from his trouser pocket.
"Good fellows! It's beautiful! He laughed.
"I wasn't greedy anymore, so I grabbed a few handfuls and stuffed them in my trouser pocket, and I swam back...... However, there is a situation ......" York frowned.
"What's the situation?" I asked right away.
"I felt like there was something in there...... It's staring at me, it's like a green monster, it's scary, it's scary! Actually, I wanted to catch a few more, but when I saw its green eyes, I immediately returned! Scared the hell out of me! York had palpitations.
"Huh? It must be some underwater animals, right? It's possible! Because there are hundreds of thousands of creatures in the ocean, many of which have not been discovered by humans, don't scare yourself! I laughed.
"I hope so...... Brother Qian, let's find a way to get out of here......" York was still a little scared.
"These animals, stay at the bottom of the sea all year round, do not see the sun, they dare not surface! Because I can't stand the stimulation of those lights...... "I comforted him.
"And what about the night?" York suddenly asked, "Could it be that they are guarding these treasures, and now that I have taken so many gold coins, they will rush to the water at night to settle accounts with me?!" His face was full of fear.
"Alas! York, there is a saying in southern China: eat salted fish to be thirsty! Since you have done it, you have to bear the consequences! Even if they do come to us to settle accounts, just deal with it, what are you afraid of? "I scolded him.
"Hee-hee-hee...... That's too. When York heard this, he was much more relieved.
"This is called: the soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth! Right? York laughed.
"You guy, you really learn a lot of Chinese culture! In those two years of experience in Shanghai, I learned a lot - it seems that the children can be taught! "I complimented him.
"Hahaha......" York laughed, completely devoid of the fear he had just had.
We counted them together, and this time we took a total of more than fifty gold coins, plus the previous ones, there are now almost eighty gold coins...... The sale of these gold coins alone is already a huge fortune! York grinned as he counted.
"Sell all these gold coins, and I guess you can hire a salvage boat to come here!" York laughed.
Damn, this guy is calculating this.
"But...... Brother Qian, I'll hand over all these gold coins to you, and you can use them however you want, because you are my lifesaver! You've saved me twice! Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now! York looked at me and said loudly.
"Anyway, I'll listen to you for everything." He added.
"Don't think about it yet, put these gold coins away, even if you encounter a passing boat, don't show your wealth when you go up...... Otherwise, it will cause death! Got it? "I warned him.
"Understand, God knows about this matter, you know and I know! There won't be a third person who knows! York said aloud.
"Hurry up and eat some fish to replenish your strength." I smiled.
"Good!" York quickly picked up the knife and cut some fish to eat.
