Chapter 32: Jewel Street
Yesterday, the family discussed and decided to try their luck in Jewelry Street today.
Although the jade wrench added 40 cubic meters of space to her last time, it was still far from enough compared to the materials she had to stockpile.
The top priority is to find the right jade and try to see if the space can be increased again.
If you don't have enough space, your plans to stock up will have to change.
Along the way, in addition to the official rescue assault boats, there are also many non-governmental spontaneous rescue teams working to evacuate the victims.
There were two small rubber boats that were picking up people from a residential building, but there were many people on the boat, and the crowd began to push and shove for a while, and the volunteers were desperately trying to maintain order.
Seeing that there were only two people on Lin Wanqiao's oversized rubber boat, he waved at her and shouted, "Heyββ! Come here and help! β
Lin Wanqiao waved her hand to indicate that she was not available.
Shen Shaoyu was afraid of being entangled, so he deliberately distanced himself from the residential building and sped up his speed.
Seeing this, the crowd scolded and accused Lin Wanqiao and the others of being inhumane.
Leaving all the insults behind them, the two leaned against the high-rise building to identify the direction of Jewelry Street.
On weekdays, it only takes about ten minutes to drive from Lin Wanqiao's house, but today I paddled a rubber boat and had to pay attention to the movements around me, and it took me an hour to find the iconic bell tower.
The commercial street where Jewelry Street is located is the lowest place in the entire county, and now it is an ocean, only a sharp tip on the top of the bell tower, indicating that this is the most prosperous place on weekdays.
In addition to Jewelry Street, there are three shopping malls in the county, and the two largest are located here.
In order to create a commercial street, all the residents in the neighborhood were relocated a year ago, and the shopping mall has already been built and put into use, but the foundation for the high-rise residential buildings to house the residents has only been laid.
Therefore, at this time, this area is uninhabited.
Finding the location, Lin Wanqiao took out two sets of diving equipment and handed them to Shen Shaoyu, fortunately, both of them can swim.
After putting them on, the two hung their self-defense weapons from the tool pouch around their waists and descended into the water.
Lin Wanqiao carefully observed left and right to confirm that there was no one, and then the rubber boat was put into the space.
The water was a bit muddy, the visibility was not high, and the two had no diving experience, so in order to prevent them from getting separated, they both tied ropes around their waists.
Down from the bell tower to the south, there are all kinds of gold jewelry shops within 500 meters.
Lin Wanqiao planned to search them one by one.
The glass door was locked with a big lock, and she took out a pointed hammer and knocked it directly, the resistance of the water made the force of knocking on the door much smaller, and it was intact after smashing for a long time.
Shen Shaoyu turned on the flashlight and motioned for her to give him the hammer.
He took the hammer and dived to the bottom of the glass door, slamming it against the edge of the corner.
The glass door soon cracked and shattered to the ground.
When I went in and scanned with a flashlight, the things on the counter were still neatly arranged, all kinds of gold, jade, platinum, and silver.
Lin Wanqiao was in charge of collecting jade, and Shen Shaoyu was in charge of gold and others. The antiques of the prosperous times, the gold of the troubled times, are coming, and they don't take the hand that is sorry for their oars for an hour.
She swam to the counter with the jade and smashed the glass in Shen Shaoyu's example.
Jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade rings, jade ornaments...... All thrown into space.
After turning around, he confirmed that there was nothing missing, and then he met Shen Shaoyu, who had also been searched over there.
The two tacitly began to look for the next one.
searched three or four houses in a row, and the two of them went out of the water to change their breath, and their chests were stuffy after staying underwater for a long time.
Shen Shaoyu handed the sack containing gold to Lin Wanqiao, who took it and poured it into the space without looking at it.
"How?" Shen Shaoyu asked, "Has the space changed?" β
Lin Wanqiao's consciousness probed into the space.
The jade artifacts that were thrown in just now were not five hundred, but also four hundred, which were originally piled up in the space, but now that they looked, only half of them were missing.
And the space is only five or six square meters more.
Lin Wanqiao hung her head and said: "Half of them don't eat, only five or six square meters more, it seems that the IQ tax of these jewelry stores is the majority." β
Unscrupulous merchants, it's so hateful, several of them with a price of four or five hundred thousand are still lying in the space!
It's all parallel imports!
Shen Shaoyu comforted when he heard this: "It's okay, it's good to have changes." There are also several shops, let's look for them again, maybe all the good things are hidden, pay more attention. β
Lin Wanqiao nodded: "Hmm." β
The two of them rested for a while, and then dived down again to continue.
The 500-meter jewelry street took less than two minutes to walk, but the two of them were tired.
In addition to the glass doors, most jewelry stores also have a roll-up door, and the two of them picked the lock at first. Later, he simply dived straight to the second floor and entered through the window, and then went down to the first floor. The doors inside are basically wooden doors, which open as soon as they are twisted, and there is no lock.
Instead, they discovered several small hidden vaults.
Especially in the boss's room behind an invisible door, two large stones and a safe are found on the Bogu shelf.
The stones were pitted, soaked in muddy water and looked a little buried, Lin Wanqiao didn't know the stones, and almost kicked them aside as garbage.
It was Shen Shaoyu who stopped him and motioned for Lin Wanqiao to collect the stone as well.
By the time everything was done, it was already dark.
The two surfaced, took out the rubber boat in the dark, turned over and climbed up.
Lin Wanqiao changed out of her diving suit and put on a raincoat, and then asked Shen Shaoyu why she took the two broken stones.
"If I'm right, those two stones should be jadeite rough."
It shouldn't be bad if it can be treasured by the boss and the safe.
After hearing this, Lin Wanqiao hurriedly entered the space to find a stone.
Gone!
Where the stones were once placed, there is now only a single safe.
The space is more than 100 square meters!
The two people in front of them swept so many jade artifacts in the display case, and they only added fifty or sixty square meters after they were tired and tired, and these two broken stones were dried to one hundred square meters?!
Lin Wanqiao took out the safe and excitedly shared the good news with Shen Shaoyu.
"Those two stones are a good thing, more than all of us put in front of us combined! Ayu, find a way to open the safe and see what's inside~"
Shen Shaoyu reached out to take the safe, picked it up, and put it down again.
Lin Wanqiao was puzzled: "What's wrong?" β
He laughed, "There's no need to open it. β
"Why?"
"Pick it up and see for yourself."
Lin Wanqiao picked up the safe when she heard this.
Wrong! It's a lot lighter than before!
Shake it, and there is no sound inside.
"...... this?"
Shen Shaoyu nodded: "That's right." The contents should also be jade, and it has already made your space to eat. β
In other words, the increase of more than 100 square meters also has the credit for the contents of the safe, but it is unknown what is inside.
After sinking the safe back into the water, the two decided to go home.
After coming out for an afternoon, there was an extra suite in the space, and Lin Wanqiao was very satisfied.
Although they were exhausted after a busy afternoon, in order not to arouse suspicion, the two still picked up a lot of wood, table legs, branches and other firewood on the way back, and put them on the rubber boat to pretend to be.
