Chapter 219 Finding the Remains
Chapter 219 Finding the Remains
Author Zang Li's latest work, "My Fishing Raft Can Ask for Help," is exclusively released for the first time!
Pei Yunxi's sudden appearance did not affect Zhou Miao's daily life.
Luo Qianqian didn't react much when she arrived, but something else made her take it more seriously.
After dinner, she didn't go home but stayed at the fish raft, clearly planning to stay in a cabin that night.
After singing softly, Luo Qianqian nestled against Zhou Miao, her fingers playfully tracing patterns on his chest.
"Ah Miao, my aunt wants to thank you and invites you to dinner. If you agree, we'll schedule it for this Sunday."
"You'll meet my parents then, won't you?"
Zhou Miao paused his hand, which had been wandering over Luo Qianqian's back, hesitated for a moment, and then refused: "Never mind, I just happened to get the iron box back, there's no need for your aunt to thank me specially."
"As for your parents, I will bring them gifts when the time comes."
Zhou Miao had only been dating Luo Qianqian for about a month, and he had no intention of meeting her parents.
Once he meets his parents, the next step will probably be for both sets of parents to meet, followed by engagement and marriage.
In fact, because of Lu Xiaoxiao, Zhou Miao never thought about getting married.
Because once he gets married, this girl will be forced to become a mistress.
Lu Xiaoxiao is the kind of woman Zhou Miao would never hand him a knife if he wanted to kill someone, but she would be the first to rush in and kill the person. She is a woman he can completely trust.
Zhou Miao was certain of Luo Qianqian's feelings for him, but he also knew she couldn't do what Lu Xiaoxiao did; she would even hesitate to hand him a knife.
Therefore, he always treated her only as his girlfriend, and in his heart, she was not as important as Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Okay!" Luo Qianqian's expression was slightly downcast.
After all, she wasn't a fool, and she had some guesses about Zhou Miao's thoughts.
She glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, who seemed completely uninterested in their conversation, and felt a mixture of envy and sudden relief.
If it were me, I would treat her better too.
But at least on the surface, Zhou Miao treated them both the same.
Even to outsiders, she was Zhou Miao's real girlfriend.
Sometimes, playing dumb is the best way to maintain a lasting relationship.
Moreover, no other man possesses Zhou Miao's unfathomable physical strength and stamina.
For the sake of her happiness in the second half of her life, Luo Qianqian would not be willing to leave.
Seeing that she didn't make a fuss about it, Zhou Miao was very satisfied.
He reached for the bottled water on the bedside table and handed it to her: "Have some water, I'll reward you again later."
"!!!" Luo Qianqian trembled and her eyes widened.
Feeling her noodle-like legs and slightly aching kidneys, she shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not thirsty at all."
Seeing that he was still staring at her, Luo Qianqian simply buryed her head in the sand, pulled the blanket over her head, and muffled sounds came from under the blanket.
"I'm so sleepy, time for bed!"
Seeing this, Zhou Miao smugly put the water back and then lay down to sleep.
Indeed, the best way to cure a child's ulterior motives is to frighten her or exhaust her until her mind goes blank.
But neither of them noticed that Lu Xiaoxiao, who had kept her eyes closed and made them think she was asleep, had a slight smile on her lips.
......
The next day, Luo Hao brought a large bag of breakfast to the fish raft.
Zhou Miao is full of energy now and can't sleep for more than a few hours, so she still gets up early.
As I walked out of the room, I heard a noise coming from the kitchen. When I went to check, I was surprised to find it was Luo Hao.
"So early today?"
"Let's get up early and leave early, and we also need to go to the club to buy diving equipment later."
"Why buy anything? Just rent one. You won't be going out to sea often anyway."
"That's true. Let's have breakfast first, I bought a lot."
After breakfast, Zhou Miao drove his pickup truck to the club.
I took him to rent a set of equipment and filled my own air tank.
Luo Hao also rented two large-capacity air tanks. Since they were already at sea, Zhou Miao took the opportunity to have him do the hard work and help him collect sea urchins.
So after leaving the club, they went to the market, bought noodles and some meat, and carried a case of bottled water before returning to the fish farm to set off.
Upon arriving at the waters where the fishing boat was located, Zhou Miao received the intelligence information he had inquired about the previous day.
[About three nautical miles in the direction of the fishing boat's 15 o'clock position, there is a sandy area that needs assistance.]
Wow, that's impressive! They can even gather intelligence from three nautical miles away?
The fishing boat really gave Zhou Miao a big surprise.
Activating the request for help requires Zhou Miao to be within a certain range.
With such a vast sea area, there are naturally many help requests that can be activated.
Unfortunately, his range of activities was limited. Even though he would deliberately seek out locations he had never been to before each time he went out to sea, he still rarely encountered a mission.
With the help of fishing boats, at least some jobs around the fishing boats can be taken on.
After the mission is over, he can still ask the fish for information, which is indeed much better than other one-time rewards.
However, Zhou Miao still needed to go into the water first to find the remains of the fishing boat owner.
"Ah Hao, you go inside the fishing boat and search. I'll dig around in the sand near the boat. Some items will be scattered around after the boat sinks; maybe we can find something."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao, who had also started changing clothes, froze.
The thought of potentially finding the remains of my uncle and grandfather inside the fishing boat, even though they were my own family, sends a chill down my spine.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word of refusal.
In the end, they had no choice but to resign themselves to changing clothes. After all, they had already come all this way, and they couldn't just give up now!
After changing into her diving suit, Zhou Miao turned around and noticed Luo Hao's pale face, immediately understanding what was going on.
He chuckled to himself, not intending to tell him that there was nothing on the fishing boat.
With an air tank on his back and a mask on, Zhou Miao pointed to the water's surface, indicating that Luo Hao, who was also dressed neatly, should go into the water first.
Luo Hao took a few deep breaths, nodded to him, sat on the gunwale, and then flipped himself into the water.
This was his first time diving, but he had done short dives before while swimming, so he didn't panic after entering the water.
Instead of swimming to the surface, he stayed underwater, experiencing the feeling of scuba diving and slowly moving his body.
After a while, Zhou Miao also came down.
Seeing that he was alright, she took the lead and swam downwards at a slow speed.
Seeing this, Luo Hao immediately followed. That's the advantage of being able to swim; you can adapt quickly.
It wasn't deep here, and the two of them quickly reached the bottom of the water.
Zhou Miao looked quite surprised as he observed the various small fish around the fishing boat.
There were no fish last time I came, how come there are none today?
Do fishing boats gather intelligence using these small fish?
Suspecting he had found the truth, Zhou Miao didn't really care about that. Instead, he pointed to the fishing boat at Luo Hao, calculated the location where the remains were buried, took out a small shovel he had just gotten from the club that morning, and started digging and digging in the sand.
Luo Hao watched silently for a while, suspecting that he didn't want to go into the cabin and was just making up this excuse.
Shaking his head, he resignedly swam toward the fishing boat, unaware that he found it easier to swim there.
As he cautiously approached the cabin, Zhou Miao, who was digging a pit, stopped.
He didn't expect that he would find a piece of bone after digging only thirty or forty centimeters deep.
