"What are you doing?" Miss Xu fiercely pushed him away. Her pretty face was dyed a charming pink and her eyes contained a hint of anger as she glared at him.
Lin Official was so pleased with himself that he was pushed by her that he lost his balance and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Luoyuan's eyes and hands were quick and he managed to pull him back. Luo Ning saw Xu Zhiqing's angry expression and quickly explained, "Big sister Xu, big brother didn't do it on purpose. He was just too excited and forgot his manners. Please don't blame him."
"That's right, that's right. Miss Xu, please don't misunderstand. I just couldn't help myself." Lin Wanrong giggled and smacked his lips. The lingering fragrance still lingered on his lips. Thinking back to that gentle touch just now, that soft and warm feeling, this Miss Xu was really seductive.
Xu Zhiqing turned her head away in embarrassment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Shameless person, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Luo Ning also glared at her big brother. Seeing his overjoyed expression, she changed the topic and said, "Big brother, what did you say just now? You found it? Did you find the silver?"
"Of course." Looking at the grand scene of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, Lin Official's brows danced and his face was filled with joy. His previous dispirited appearance was swept away and he waved his hand at Luoyuan, "Kleinloh, do you see that big circle? Tell the brothers to put down the buoys in this area."
Luoyuan immediately became excited and said in a loud voice, "Big brother, are you saying that the silver is under this dragon gate?"
Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile, "Most likely."
Luoyuan happily accepted the order and left. Dozens of small boats shot over like arrows, surrounding the circle formed by the fish leaping over the dragon gate and putting down the buoys. Layers of fish jumped up and landed on the small boats, forming a strange scene. As the nets got closer and closer, more and more fish gathered around the circle and jumped higher and higher. It was as if a silver dragon gate had been built on the surface of the lake. When the surrounding commoners saw this, they were shocked. Some of them had already knelt on the ground and shouted, "The Carp Leaps Over The Dragon Gate, The Dragon God Appears!"
"You said that the silver is under the Dragon's Gate?" Miss Xu couldn't help but ask. A faint smile appeared on her lips.
"What? Does Miss Xu have a different opinion? Look, this is a carp leaping over the dragon gate, rarely seen in a thousand years! "Lord Lin had an excited look.
Xu Zhiqing's expression became incomparably serious, "Lin San, don't blame me for not reminding you. Do you know how much land three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver takes up?"
"I know, I know. Of course I know." Lin Wanrong chuckled. "I took them away in a truck. I know this better than you do. "
"How can you be so sure?" Seeing Lin Wanrong's confident look, Lin Wanrong was surprised. Miss Xu couldn't help but wonder, "Did I suspect wrong?" Also, what is this truck that this guy is talking about?
"I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I have an eighty percent chance of success." Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "Miss Xu, I admire your patience and attentiveness, but you shouldn't be too cautious when you encounter something. You have to think of all the situations together. Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver doesn't take up much space, so how can you be at ease burying it in the lake? Forty boats to transport silver, don't you think the target is too big? Use your brain, use your brain more! "
Sir Lin lightly patted his temple twice. His appearance of a small person intoxicated by success made Miss Xu so angry that she snorted. She didn't feel like talking to him anymore, only silently thinking about what he had said.
When Luoyuan and the others had completely lowered the buoy, Lin Wanrong waved his hand and the hundreds of underwater experts that had already gathered rushed over in small boats. Lord Lin was in high spirits. He tore off his long robe, only wearing his underwear, revealing his muscular upper body. Miss Xu let out an "ah" in fright. She hurriedly turned her head and said angrily, "You, what are you doing?"
"What else can I do? I'm going to swim in the lake. "Lin Wanrong rubbed his arms a few times, moving his blood vessels as he spoke in high spirits.
Luo Ning was his wife in the end. Although she felt that her big brother taking off his clothes in broad daylight in front of Elder Sister Xu was a bit offensive, her mood was understandable. Her small face was slightly red as she pulled on Lin Wanrong's arm and said in a soft voice, "Big brother, are you going to go into the lake as well? There are so many underwater experts, so let them go! "
Lin Wanrong smiled and patted her small hand. "Ning 'er, don't worry. You should know that I, your big brother, am known as' two spears on land, one dragon in the water '. This reputation is definitely not undeserved. You just wait here, I'll be right back."
Hundreds of underwater experts had already gathered. Although it was early spring and the weather was still a bit cold, these were all fishermen on Lake Weishan. They were skilled in swimming and had strong physiques, so the weather was not a problem. Especially when they saw that this man had taken off his clothes and wanted to go into the water with them, their hearts were even more excited.
Lin Wanrong looked at the position of the buoy and hundreds of people formed a large circle around the buoy. Then, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of people jumped into the water at the same time. There were circles of waves on the water, but in the blink of an eye, it was calm again.
Seeing that her big brother went into the water, Luo Ning waited for a while, feeling anxious. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Why hasn't big brother come up yet? I'm so anxious! "
As soon as Lin Wanrong went into the water, Miss Xu returned to normal. Hearing her words, she shook her head and smiled. "Ning 'er, you are too impatient. He just went down, how can he come ashore so soon? Don't worry, this person is so thick-skinned, he won't freeze. "
Luo Ning blushed and grabbed Miss Xu's hand. "Sister Zhiqing, you are also making fun of me. I am worried that big brother will be sad if he can't find the silver. "
Miss Xu sighed slightly. "Originally, I also expected that his judgment was wrong. However, he said it so confidently, which made me hesitate. Could it be that the silver is really buried here?"
Luoyuan, who was next to her, interrupted, "Sister Xu, I believe in big brother's words. Otherwise, how could big brother use a fishing strategy to create a miraculous scene of a fish leaping over the dragon's gate? "Luo Ning nodded in agreement, probably also unable to figure out the trick. Miss Xu thought for a long time, looking at the countless boats floating in the distance. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and her beautiful face was dyed with a layer of bright red. She whispered, "Am I really going to lose? This shameless guy, he already had a plan! "
Seeing Luoyuan and his brother looking at her in confusion, Miss Xu could not help but lower her head and said shyly, "The logic of a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, I originally did not understand. However, after seeing what he had done and hearing what he had just said, I could roughly guess what was going on. Luoyuan, tell me, if these three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver were to be placed on land, how much space would it take up? "
Luoyuan thought carefully and said with a smile, "I have never seen so much silver. But since those thieves transported dozens of boats, naturally it would take up as much space as dozens of boats."
Miss Xu shook her head gently. "Dozens of boats? That's just your imagination. According to the density of pure silver, three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, if poured into one piece, would probably take up as much space as three of you, Luoyuan, standing together. "
Luo Ning opened her mouth. "Sister Zhiqing, you can't calculate it like that. These silver are all made into silver ingots, and the space it takes up is more than twice the size of the original. If lined up together, the length, width, and height should each be about one square foot. "
"So Ning 'er has also studied it." Miss Xu tapped Ning' er's nose lightly. "Little Ning 'er is really smart. You're right, this silver should be about one square meter. But why did they have to use forty ships to transport a square piece of silver that was ten feet long? Don't you think it's strange? "
Big Brother had asked this question just now, and it really stumped Miss Luo. Ning 'er laughed. "Sister Zhiqing, you are becoming more and more like Big Brother. You like to speak in riddles."
"Why bring him up all of a sudden?" Miss Xu's face was red as if she had put on rouge. "We are talking about ourselves, but you can't forget him for a moment. The thieves used forty boats to transport silver, was it all an empty fort stratagem? I don't think so. Forty boats to transport silver is too big of a target, and it will be easily discovered. They have no need to take this risk. "
"Yes." Luo Ning frowned and snorted. "Big Brother must know, but he won't tell us. It's so infuriating."
That shameless person really can't be missing even a moment. Are all married people like this? Miss Xu was slightly stunned, and heard Luo Ning whisper in her ear, "Sister Xu, just tell Ning 'er what is going on."
"If you don't mention that despicable person again, I will tell you." Miss Xu smiled.
Luo Ning giggled and covered her mouth. "Sister doesn't let me mention it, but you keep talking about it. You are really making things difficult for Ning 'er."
This girl had a sharp tongue. She was becoming more and more like a shameless person. Xu Zhiqing's face heated up slightly as she asked, "Ning 'er, if you were a thief and you stole the silver and buried it in Lake Weishan, would you be at ease if it only took up a square meter of space?"
Luo Yuan had been listening for a long time. Finally, he had a chance to interrupt. He said, "Don't worry. Of course they're worried. That is three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. If it was washed away by the water, there would be nothing left. If it were up to me, it would be best to bury the silver into a small mountain. Only then would I be at ease. "
"Luoyuan is right." Xu Zhiqing smiled approvingly. "It should be buried into a small mountain, and it should be stable in the water. Only then will it be safe. If I'm not wrong, those forty ships aren't just transporting silver. I'm afraid that there are other things inside as well. "
Filled? Luo Ning clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, that must be what Big Brother meant. Increase the area that the silver occupies to resist the impact of the water. Only then will it be safer and more reassuring. Sister Zhiqing, you are so smart! "
That shameless person is much smarter than me. Miss Xu shook her head and smiled. "Forty boats transporting silver. If I am not wrong, the silver must be filled with a large amount of tin or copper. This way, it will occupy a large area underwater, and it will be safe to store it. Estimating, the length and width should be about fifty to sixty feet, and the height should be about twenty feet, which coincides with the area of the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate. Lin San put down three hundred thousand fish fry to increase the density of the fish in the water, and to catch them from all sides, forcing them closer to the center of the lake. The fish will swim in groups from all directions, and when they meet the silver mountain, they will be unable to pass. Those in the deep water will naturally squeeze into the shallow water, and those in the shallow water will jump up. The higher the density of the fish, the more crowded it will be. A cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite. When it is crowded to a certain extent, there are pursuers behind, and the path forward is completely blocked. Thus, the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate, a situation that is rarely seen in a hundred years, was created by him. "
Luoyuan made a long "oh" sound, and said with a smile, "Big Brother is really amazing, to be able to think of such a method. I am completely convinced of him. Eh, that's not right … "He seemed to have thought of something. He continued, "Big Brother said that the nets used to catch the fish are made of tin, and cannot sink to the bottom of the lake, so why don't the fish fry drill through the bottom of the net?"
Xu Zhiqing nodded, "Little Yuan is right, this is also what I don't understand. But looking at the actual situation, the fish fry rarely slip through the net, this is strange. "
The boatman at the side heard this and laughed, "This Young Master, two Misses, you must have never caught fish before. If we follow your calculations, we will never be able to catch fish on Lake Weishan, because no fishing net can completely sink to the bottom, then wouldn't the fish escape? "
Miss Xu's face turned red, and she said humbly, "This boatman, can you tell us what is going on?"
The boatman said with a smile, "This reason is actually very simple, we common people have a saying, called the civet blind fish! The eyes of a cat. It changes three times a day, sometimes big, sometimes small, but regardless of day or night, it can see clearly. This is called a civet. "
"Then how do you explain the blind fish?" Luoyuan asked.
"The blind fish is the opposite of the civet. Different fish have different living areas, some in deep water, some in shallow water. Most of the fish in the sea live in deep water, like the fish in our Lake Weishan, most of them are used to shallow water, and a small number live in deep water. When you cast the net down, those that are used to shallow water rarely drill into deep water, they all swim straight forward, and they just happen to drill into the net. Because they don't know how to adapt, we can catch fish, this is called the blind fish. Today, three hundred thousand fish fry went down together, and the lake was crowded. Some of the fish fry drilled into deep water, but they are not used to it, so they can't wait to squeeze up. This is also one of the reasons why the school of fish jumped into the water. "
Luoyuan suddenly understood, "The civet blind fish, so that's how it is, it's really blind! I usually see Big Brother eating, drinking, and playing, but I don't see him reading any books, how does he know so much? "
"How do you know that Big Brother doesn't study?" Luo Ning snorted, defending her husband, "If you ask me, Big Brother has a deep mind, that's why he can predict everything."
Miss Xu was silent for a while, then sighed, "Looks like I'm looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. I learned a lot of books, and thought that I know everything, I'm really wrong. Truly useful knowledge is accumulated in life, on this point, I really can't compare to Lin San. "
Between her and Lin San, one was from the academic side, the other was from the practical side. After a few clashes, they were unable to gain the upper hand, so it was not strange for them to feel this way.
As the three of them were talking, they suddenly saw bubbles appear on the surface of the lake in the distance, and one head after another popped out. It was the hundred strong men that had just entered the water, all of their faces were red, and they were panting heavily, water droplets dripping down from their hair.
"Where's Big Brother?" Luo Ning searched for a while, but did not see Lin Wanrong's figure. Just as she was feeling anxious, she suddenly felt the boat under her feet tremble, and Ning 'er screamed in fright.
Miss Xu's eyes were sharp, and her feet were quick. She stretched out her small feet, and her embroidered shoes stepped on a pair of big hands that were stealthily swaying on the side of the boat. She forcefully stepped on it twice, and tenderly snorted, "Shameless scoundrel, quickly show your head."
"Aiyo — —" Official Lin's scream came from below the boat, "Miss Xu, you're playing for real?!"
"Big Brother?!" Luo Ning cried out in shock, and hurriedly bent down, only to see Lin Wanrong clinging to the bottom of the boat, grinning at her.
"You're so bad!" Ning 'er softly cried out in pain, and stretched out her small hands to pull him. Luoyuan hurriedly came over to help, and Miss Xu turned her head and snickered. You shameless person, do bad things, and I'll let you have a taste of suffering!
Lin Wanrong flipped himself up the boat, and took a few long breaths. Ning 'er hurriedly handed him a bowl of steaming hot ginger soup, and seeing him gulp it down in a few mouthfuls, she finally felt at ease.
Luoyuan was the most anxious, and after waiting for Lin Wanrong to rest for a while, he hurriedly opened his mouth to ask, "Big Brother, how is it? Did you find the silver?"
Lin Wanrong seemed to look at Miss Xu unintentionally, and his eyes narrowed as he laughed, "Miss Xu, you just stepped on my feet a few times on purpose, right? Hehe, do you want me to find the silver, or not? "
Xu Zhiqing panicked, and did not dare to reply. Luo Ning angrily said, "Big Brother, what are you saying? Sister Xu came all the way here to help us find the silver, didn't you?"
"Is that so? Oh, I've forgotten. " Lin Wanrong shook his head and laughed, and then his expression changed, and his tone became heavy, "I'm sorry, Ning 'er — —"
"What?" Xu Zhiqing cried out in shock, and could not believe her own ears. This shameless person was full of confidence before entering the water, could it be that it was all a lie? How could he be like this?
Luo Ning's joyful face instantly turned snow-white, and large teardrops rolled down her cheeks. She firmly bit her lips, and slowly caressed Lin Wanrong's cheeks, and softly said, "Big Brother, don't worry, don't blame yourself. This is Ning 'er's life. To be able to become husband and wife with you, Ning' er is already satisfied, and does not care about anything else."
Lin Wanrong deeply sighed, and hugged her soft body in his arms, and bit her ear, "I'm sorry, Ning 'er. Big Brother tried his best, but only found — — three hundred and fifty thousand silver!!!"
"What?" The two girls were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other. Then, they crazily pounced on him, and their fists rained down, "I'll hit — —"
