The boss of the ship whispered to Xing Yi that he was not the first person to spy on the news of the shipwreck.

When the ship's boss's mouth closed, Xing Yi asked, "You said I was late, which means that someone has already come to salvage?" ”

The ship's cigarette was extinguished, and the lighter was lit again, and the horn came and said, "Yes, a month before you, someone came to inquire." ”

"Who is here? Found the shipwreck? ”

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

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

"You know everything, you have it. But tell your friend that he doesn't believe it, so he'll let him come in January or February. ”

"January or February? What happens when you come? ”

"At that time, I was idle, and I didn't have anything to do."

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

"That's right, by that time, the water depth of this Xingjiang River is less than five feet, the water is dry and the stones are visible, and the rocks at the bottom of the river are all exposed, and 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 is there any other river? Xing Yi looked around and asked the boat boss: "As far as your common sense goes, do you know that there are larger rivers within a hundred miles of the neighborhood?" ”

The boat boss looked up at the sky: "As far as I know, there is no bigger river than this Xingjiang River." If you have it, a hundred miles away, Wujiang River, Yuanjiang River, that is the river you want. ”

The boat boss is joking, Xing Yi is not good at being long-winded. It just so happened that there were five people here, all of whom were going to the other side, and with Xing Yi, the number was enough.

The boat boss got up and began to collect the money, and when it was Xing Yi's turn, he opened his palm to block it, and said, "The boat fare for you to go back is free, count me as inviting you." ”

On the shore, Xing Yi said hello to the boat boss and followed behind the people.

The captain said, "Let's go, no more talking?" ”

Xing Yi took out his mobile phone and raised it, saying, "I want to go up a little bit and call my friend back, there is no signal by the river." I'm sorry to delay you. ”

The captain said, "There is no matter about the shipwreck, do you want to hear about the sunken box?" ”

Xing Yi stopped: "Did someone sink a suitcase into this river?" ”

"Come on, I'll tell you."

The captain of the boat smoked cigarettes while telling him.

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

"There was a man and a woman, both young, and when they came, they said they were willing to pay a high price, and asked me to take them to the middle of the river to find a suitcase.

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

"They asked me again and again the name of the river and if there was anything wider and deeper than this section. I explained the situation to them repeatedly, but they still didn't believe it, and finally pulled out a letter for me to read.

"I didn't read much and couldn't read a few words, so they read them to me.

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

"When the boat reached the middle of the river, the enemy came after him, set up his machine gun and opened fire, and his wife, the two horses and the captain of the boat were shot one after another, and fell, and the officer was wounded, and before the enemy got on the boat, he threw his suitcase into the river.

"The officer was taken and spent 10 years in a cell, but the war was still raging, the cell was blown up, and he was able to escape, and after several rounds, he went to Hong Kong.

Twenty years later, when he was old, he was ready to look for his wife on the boat and the suitcase in the river. Before he could move, his body suddenly fell ill, he was bedridden, his condition became more and more serious, and finally there was no hope. He had no offspring, and the nurse was very nice to him, so he left this letter for the nurse.

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

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

"After searching for a whole week, my artemisia pole poked the bottom of the river almost inch by inch, but I didn't find it.

"On the morning of the eighth day, I waited for them by the river, and for most of the day there was no one there, and I went to my lodgings and asked them, and said that they had gone.

"I agreed in advance to pay 50 yuan a day, but I didn't get a cent."

When he finished speaking, the cigarette roll was gone, and he rolled it again, but his eyes were fixed on the river.

Xing Yi asked, "They are gone, do you continue to look for them?" ”

"Let's tell you the truth, every day I pay attention, the artemisia rod is inserted, I am looking for a feeling, I feel that in addition to the stone or the stone, after a long time, the hope will fade."

"Have you told this story to others?"

"Tell me, whenever anyone mentions a shipwreck, I'll tell them about it."

"How did they feel after listening to your story?"

The boat boss shrugged: "It's said that the old man, you are very good at telling stories, why don't you just set a table here and add a sum of tea money." That's a good idea, don't you think? ”

Xing Yi disagreed, and subconsciously glanced at the sparkling river again. When I first arrived at the river, I felt that it was quite wide, but now I look at it, but I feel very narrow, so I got up and picked up a stone, and without much effort, threw it on the other side.

Someone on the other side of the river shouted: "Boat man, ferry here." ”

The captain went to untie the rope from the stake, and then waved his hand at him to say goodbye.

When the car returned to the road, the mobile phone signal was there, and when I took it out, there were three missed calls, all of which were just from Bao Xiaogang. The pure water direct sales point moved to the Guangming Hotel, he graduated from vocational school, his education level is not shallow, and he can still do accounts, so he handed it over. He was also entrusted to find someone to raise sika deer, who had raised cattle and had experience.

The hostel is run by Wei Junlong, and he is also reviewing and completing his studies. It was estimated that he was leaving, but Bao Xiaogang was too busy to be alone, so he asked for help.

I called the phone back and said, "I'm in the countryside, I'm on my way back, there was no signal before, now it's okay, Xiaogang, what is the matter?" ”

Bao Xiaogang said: "Teachers from two universities came to ask Boss Wei for money. ”

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

"Valuables storage fee."

"Isn't he in the hostel?"

"Not there."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know, early the day before yesterday, I handed over the key to me, said to do something, and left, and I didn't come back today."

"Where's the university teacher here?"

"Stay, wait for him."

"Did you ask what valuables they were?"

"People don't say it, and the housing fee hasn't been paid, I really don't know what to do, come back quickly."

What valuables, how much can the storage fee be, and is it worth sending two people to ask for it?

What valuables can Wei Junlong put at school? Drawing utensils? That's not worth a lot of money.
