Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1641 7 Heart Tablets 22

The equipment Jiang Xinxin requested arrived quite quickly. After two days of waiting, Yan Hongsha became much closer to everyone. At least 13,000 people admitted that she was a rich woman with a good figure and good looks.

As soon as the equipment arrived, Luo Ren took on the task of debugging and using it. Everyone unanimously decided to explore the area in the center of the lake first.

The area in the center of the lake is quite large, but it is mostly swampland and cannot even bear the weight of a person, so Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua picked up the abandoned boats on the shore and brought everyone to the water hole in the center of the lake.

As the detector continued to descend, everyone was surprised to find that there was no fish or shrimp in the center of the lake, which was clearly a pool of running water.

Luo Ren, a man of extensive experience, offered what he considered a reasonable explanation: "Perhaps it's because the old clams have settled here that the fish and shrimp have gradually become extinct, or have migrated to other waters through the connected waterways underneath."

After the detector sank to the bottom, we slowly explored the surroundings and found more and more animal skeletons.

Cao Yanhua stepped aside with disdain and fear, and asked Yiwansan, "No, Third Brother, was there a slaughterhouse in your area in the past?"

Thirteen snorted and explained, "We used to have the custom of offering sacrifices to the water god here. During festivals, we would sacrifice three kinds of animals. In good years, we would sacrifice whole pigs and whole sheep!"

Luo Ren observed that the underwater bones were mainly distributed in and around a pit and explained, "This is a pit. The current must have brought the sacrifices here."

Yiwansan suddenly had an idea. Perhaps his parents' bodies would also be brought here by the current. He went straight to Luo Ren and looked carefully, hoping that he could find his parents' remains in the next moment and fulfill his wish.

Yisan's parents had not been found yet, but everyone soon found Yan Hongsha's second uncle Yan Jiuxiao.

Yan Jiuxiao was wearing the diving suit that appeared in his tablet video. He did not fall to the bottom of the water, but stood steadily, as if the surrounding water flow could not shake him at all.

Yan Hongsha couldn't help but tear up when he saw the familiar figure, and said directly: "I want to go down and bring my second uncle back!"

Mu Dai was a little at a loss for words and managed to find an excuse, "How about we take a look at the front?"

Yan Hongsha immediately stopped Luo Ren's action, "No need, just bring him up. My second uncle is the only one who went down wearing a diving suit recently. It must be him..."

Cao Yanhua looked at the situation below and couldn't help but say, "It seems that Miss Yan's second uncle is entangled in water plants. But speaking of it, water plants in freshwater areas are far less tough than seaweed. As long as you stay calm, you can tear them apart with your bare hands..."

Yisan nudged Cao Yanhua with his elbow, "Why are you talking nonsense? Isn't he Miss Yan's second uncle? Just pick him up and that'll be enough."

Although there was an undercurrent at the bottom of the water, there was no other danger, so Yan Jiuxiao's body was brought up easily. When Yiwansan stood up, he accidentally touched Luo Ren's hand that was operating the detector, and the lens of the underwater detector was tilted.

Luo Ren hadn't noticed anything wrong yet, but Yiwansan saw a familiar object in the picture - the amulet his father wore when he went out!

Yisansan suppressed his excitement and sadness and successfully brought Yan Jiuxiao's body up. He quickly pulled Luo Ren aside and asked, "Luo Ren, the video has been recorded and backed up, right?"

Luo Ren understood Yi Wansan's concern and quickly turned on the computer to find the video he wanted.

He had also seen the amulet worn around Yisan's neck, and the same amulet also appeared underwater. If there was no accident, the corpse should be Yisan's father.

Even though they luckily found the remains of Yiwansan's father, Luo Ren still reminded Yiwansan, "Your parents fell into the water many years ago. You've seen bones scattered around along the way. Perhaps the old clam's frequent visits to this place have removed some of the silt covering your father's remains, revealing the amulet."

"If I want to find your mother, I'm afraid it won't be that easy..."

Thirteen Wan forced a smile. "I understand the logic. My mother was swept directly into the water by the wind and waves. I didn't even dare to think that she could stay at the bottom of the lake..."

Yiwansan still remembers that his father fell into the water accidentally, and was unable to get ashore because of a sudden leg cramp, so the body must have been intact after drowning, and there would be no blood.

His mother was sitting on the boat first, and was hit by something on the boat, and then capsized into the water with the boat. There were many fish and shrimps in the lake at that time, so he didn't dare to think that his mother might have left anything behind.

After some effort, all of the remains of 13,000-year-old father were finally brought up. Two people built a bonfire and burned the remains of their loved one into ashes.

After burning paper and offering wine, Yan Hongsha wiped her tears, stood up, and said to Mu Dai, "Will you come back to Huacheng with me to report, or will you go back to Lixi directly with them?"

The friendship between Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha developed very quickly. She replied solemnly, "Even if it wasn't for the sake of reporting to your grandfather, given our relationship, would I really let you go back alone?"

Besides, Mu Dai remembered Jiang Xinxin's guess and felt that Yan Hongsha would have to face many things when she returned with her second uncle's ashes. At least she had some skills and could at least intimidate those debt collectors.

Without anyone knowing, Yisan accepted the old patriarch's apology. Just as Jiang Xinxin guessed, in those days, the village's only source of income was fishing, shrimping and pearl diving, unlike today when some folk activities can attract people to come and travel.

Therefore, not only their Wuzhu Village, but also several neighboring villages attach great importance to the division of water areas, because it is directly related to the income of each family.

Yiwansan himself also felt a little regretful for implicating other villagers who he thought were innocent. All the grudges were wiped out with the old patriarch's admission of fault and apology.

Because they had to entrust Yan Hongsha to sell the pearls and collect the money, Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua both wanted to follow Yan Hongsha to Huacheng, while Jiang Xinxin chose to fly directly to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. She did not plan to stay in this world for too long, and most of the industries in her hands had to be dealt with from now on.

Of course Luo Ren wanted to stick with Jiang Xinxin to go to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, but his current status was unknown, so he simply followed the group to Huacheng. After all, Huacheng was only a morning's drive from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so traveling back and forth was very convenient.

After the Yan family handled Yan Jiuxiao's funeral, within two days, all the creditors came to the door. Old man Yan took out the title deed of his family's mansion as collateral and gave it to them, buying them a month's time. Then he hired Mu Dai again to accompany him to open the treasure well.
