564 Shipwreck

Because of the first dragon boat race in Taohua Lake, the city and district paid great attention to it. As a supporting small scenic spot for the future scenic spot, the village committee team of Wenjia Village and several respected elderly people were also invited.

In the afternoon, we took the yacht that came from the scenic spot and went to the dam in advance in a lively and cheerful manner.

This allowed Zhao Changan and Wen Ye to escape tonight's drinking party.

The two of them had a delicious meal of old hen stewed with mushrooms in a clay pot, one of them drank Xiao Erliang's grain wine, and went to Huchazi not far away to take a bath.

Then we and Grandma Wen Ye would enjoy the cool weather in the yard under the moonlight and chat.

"Quack quack~"

"Gugu~"

"Oh, oh,~"

"Woof woof woof~"

The chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and pigeons were fed so well that they all screamed restlessly in the cage.

Wangcai is having fun in the yard.

The swallows under the eaves and the magpies on the big trees have all fallen asleep.

And the little owls in that nest of owls were hooting non-stop, reminding their parents that night was coming and they could get food.

"This matter can be traced back to 1933, when I was only seven years old,——"

Wen Ye's grandma slowly recounted that past event, her vicissitudes of voice trickling through the quiet yet noisy summer night.

Wen Ye had obviously heard it before, he just sat next to his grandma and shook her cattail leaf fan.

Zhao Changan listened with great interest.

"At the end of 1937, when the Japanese army came to Jinling, the Jinling group got a small fishing boat in advance to let us cross the river. They said it was a small fishing boat and threw away the unnecessary things, leaving behind more than a dozen boxes of gold brought from Suzhou.

Silver jewelry, ocean weapons and ammunition, and other valuables, those sealed ancient paintings and calligraphy, emeralds, jade, and yellow stones, even if it can accommodate twenty or so people, it will still be no problem."

"Grandma, please wait a moment."

Wen Ye and Zhao Changan looked at each other. He only knew some vague things about these things. This was the first time he heard grandma explain it carefully.

He went into the house and got an electric fan, pulled on the cord and turned on the fan.

Fill the cup with tea again.

He opened the door to the courtyard and came back two or three minutes later, shaking his head slightly towards Zhao Changan to indicate safety.

"When we were preparing to cross the river in the middle of the night, two people came over from Mingzhu, Ye Changguang and his father Ye Deming. They said that the Japanese had destroyed Mingzhu's Ye family, and they were the only ones to escape. The lives of the rest were uncertain. But Ye Changguang was a national soldier.

The major officer was stopped by Jinling before boarding the ship.

As a result, the ship arrived,"

Grandma Wen Ye's voice paused, and she said to Wen Ye and Zhao Chang'an: "I should tell you this location, and the ship suddenly exploded. I wanted to relieve myself at that time, so I went to the stern of the ship. Your great-grandfather and

My great-grandmother was also holding on to the stern of the boat to prevent me from falling off and the whole boat exploding.

Thanks to the elixirs and medical skills, your great-grandfather always carried those legal coins with him. - Where did the bomb come from on that fishing boat? Except Ye Deming!

Your great-grandmother came from a martial arts family in Jinmen and had studied abroad. When she was in Jinmen, she and your great-grandfather often went swimming at the beach. In addition, she was afraid of colliding with big boats when walking in the middle of the river. The fishing boats were very close to the shore, so the three of us

I escaped with my life. But the river was too cold—"

In the dead of night, Zhao Changan and Wen Ye were lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a while.

"Dong dong dong~"

Grandma Wen Ye knocked on the door and entered the house.

Close the window and draw the curtains.

Handed Wen Ye a piece of paper.

The paper is a very old paper with no words on it, only a river flow pattern drawn with a brush and an oval distribution map.

Wen Ye carefully put the piece of paper away: "Grandma, it's been more than sixty years. Even if it's salvaged, it won't be that easy. But if it's not salvaged, it's very likely that it will be buried forever. We will find it."

When the time comes, fish them all out.”

"I've been worried about this for so many years, and I'm really afraid that I'll suddenly leave one day and I won't have time to tell you. Grandma can have a peaceful sleep tonight."

"Grandma, what are you talking about? You will live a long life!"

"Okay, okay, grandma is still waiting for you to marry a wife and have grandchildren!"

Grandma Wen Ye's face became more relaxed, and the wrinkles on her face relaxed a lot, and she left the room.

Zhao Changan turned off the lights, opened the curtains, and opened the windows to let in the cool breeze from outside.

In my heart, I was filled with sadness.

If his guess was correct, in his previous life, Grandma Wen Ye would not have had the chance to hand over this matter and this drawing to Wen Ye.

Otherwise, this kid wouldn't have sent him WeChat messages from time to time asking for help in the first few years after he crossed over.

Of course, Wen Ye borrowed money frequently and paid it back quickly, but it was obvious that this guy really had no money.

"Actually, grandma never understood their motive for blowing up the ship. By 1938, the river was under Japanese control all the way to Jiangcheng. So what would Ye Deming and the others do?"

"Holy crap, you mean they're doing it for money?"

Zhao Changan also felt that something was wrong when he heard it just now, but thinking about the Ye family's ancestral motto of "no more than three", it was obvious that his thinking had entered a misunderstanding.

Wen Ye took out the piece of paper and handed it to Zhao Changan in the dim moonlight: "Put it away. Even if that place has been salvaged, the technology sixty years ago cannot be compared with now. If it is filtered again, it might be wrong.

A ruby ​​is worth dozens or millions."

"Okay, when our brothers get rich in the next two years, we will buy a yacht and go there to spend a few days diving and hunting for treasures."

Zhao Changan collected the paper, put it into the pocket of his leather bag, and zipped it up.

He said casually: "Since your great-grandfather drew such uncertain pictures, is it certain that Ye Deming will not be able to get to the shore?"

Wen Ye was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "I feel the same way."

Judging from the information we have about what happened that night, there are many things that don’t make sense.

For example, my great-grandfather should always carry his valuables with him, but how could he keep the box of elixirs and medical books?

The Ye family also had a lot of customers and business partners along the Yangtze River. Why didn't they ask for help after that, and instead went directly to the northern foothills of the Dabie Mountains.

There are still many doubts.

It can only be said that Grandma Wen Ye was too young at that time and was almost killed by the cold. There were many things that her father did not tell her.

Then when we arrived at the mountain city, we encountered bandits again and were both killed.

"Go to sleep; we'll find out when we salvage it.

"Go to sleep."

Wen Ye nodded and approved Zhao Changan's approach.

If a large amount of things can be salvaged, it means that Ye Deming failed to go back; on the contrary, it means that Ye Deming not only went back, but also salvaged a huge amount of wealth accumulated by the Ye family in Gusu for decades.

The two stopped talking and fell asleep quietly.

I have to get up early tomorrow morning and go to Shancheng to drink Zhou Ji's mutton soup.

Until now, neither Grandma Wen Ye nor Zhao Changan and Wen Ye mentioned the matter of salvaging the remains.
Chapter completed!
