Chapter 296 is relatively complete

Ye Mingzhu turned over and went into the sea along the rope. Wang Dahu was waiting on the deck with a worried look on his face.

Although there were lights hanging on the bow and stern of the ship, it was obvious that these lights did not shine into the sea. Ye Mingzhu swam down for a while and directly released the sea beast in the space.

The moment the sea monster came out, it squeezed next to Ye Mingzhu and wanted to play with her, but it soon stopped, shook its big head, and there seemed to be a flash of doubt in its eyes.

Ye Mingzhu could probably guess what it meant. The sea here was different from the sea in the village. The temperature of the sea water was slightly different. Compared with humans, sea beasts living in the sea had more acute senses.

It’s just like the scenery in other places looks similar to us, but only local people know the difference.

Fortunately, the sea beast was quite brave. After only a moment of confusion, it began to churn in the sea, and the water in the sea area immediately began to shake.

Ye Mingzhu had to stop its actions. She had a mission to go to the sea this time. Even if she couldn't see, she could imagine that her uncle must be waiting for her news on the deck. She couldn't wait too long on the seabed.

She conveyed the message to the sea beast that she was looking for the shipwreck.

This was not the first time Ye Mingzhu asked a sea beast for help. It quickly understood what Ye Mingzhu meant and began to swim quickly towards the bottom of the sea.

Ye Mingzhu took a deep breath and swam forward quickly to catch up with the sea beast.

Although she could find the shipwreck much faster with the sea beast, it was too fast and it was very hard for her to follow it. If she was not careful, she might not be able to find any trace of the sea beast.

For example, now, a group of fish passed by her, and when she looked again, there was no trace of the sea beast.

She had no time to have any other emotions, and just continued to swim downstream in the direction the sea monster had just swam.

Fortunately, the sea beast still had a conscience and soon turned around to look for Ye Mingzhu.

The deeper Ye Mingzhu went downstream, the more worry appeared in her eyes. She had just used counting to calculate the time of diving, but she didn't feel that the depth was deeper than the depth Hu Da told her. But why was there no sign of a shipwreck in the sea?

When she felt that the time was too long and she couldn't help but swim to the surface, she saw the shadow of a large ship in front of her. A sea monster used its big head to butt against her body, as if asking for credit.

She forced a smile, patted the sea monster's head, and began to dive upwards.

She had stayed at the bottom of the sea for too long. It would be unreasonable to stay there any longer.

Even if she was a pearl diver, she could stay underwater longer than the average person, but if she stayed too long, it would easily arouse suspicion.

This time she didn't have to look for anything, she swam up very quickly, almost half the speed of the previous one.

But what she didn't understand was why she appeared about a hundred meters away from the boat. She gestured in the direction of the boat, but no one noticed her shadow.

She had no choice but to swim another hundred meters and climb onto the boat along the rope.

When Wang Dahu saw Ye Mingzhu, he had already stretched out his hand and was waiting there. After Ye Mingzhu got on the boat, he immediately wrapped her in a quilt and handed her a water bag. She drank it in one gulp and coughed twice because of choking.

This is not hot water, it seems to be a hot soup with shredded ginger in it. After taking a sip, it feels hot from the mouth to the stomach, but it can also dispel some of the coldness in the body.

Just as she was about to speak, Wang Dahu interrupted her and said, "Drink some water to warm yourself up first. We can talk later if you have anything to say."

Ye Mingzhu knew that Wang Dahu was worried about her, so she could only put the water bag to her mouth again and drink half of the soup in the bag.

Wang Dahu wanted her to go back and rest, but she shook her head and refused, whispering, "Uncle, I only saw the shadow of the boat, I didn't get on it, and the sunken ship wasn't under it, it was over there, I just swam over from there."

Ye Mingzhu pointed in the direction they had just swam from: "Going down from that side will probably save half the time compared to going down this way."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to go down and take a look, but was stopped by Wang Dahu: "Mingzhu, no one has ever talked about the situation you mentioned. I want to take you to talk to the steward."

"Now?" Ye Mingzhu glanced at the sea and shook her head in refusal: "Uncle, I want to go down again to check the situation of the ship first, and then report to the steward."

What was she going to say now? She saw the shadow of a boat? Isn't that funny?

Wang Dahu had been the steward for quite some time, so he naturally understood what Ye Mingzhu meant. He gritted his teeth and handed Ye Mingzhu a handful of dried meat: "If you want to go down, your uncle won't stop you. Eat this dried meat before you go down."

Ye Mingzhu didn't refuse. Working in the sea was physically demanding, and she had to eat her fill. But who on earth made this dried meat? It was so hard that her cheeks ached after eating it.

Wang Dahu didn't notice Ye Mingzhu's resentful look. He was thinking about how to tell the steward that the shipwreck was in the wrong location.

Ye Mingzhu couldn't eat half of the dried meat anymore, so she got off the boat again along the rope. This time she swam to a distance of 100 meters before diving down.

Wang Dahu watched Ye Mingzhu's figure disappear on the sea, and immediately went to find Manager Jiang to report the problem of the wrong location of the shipwreck.

Ye Mingzhu had a target, so she swam very quickly this time. She swam to the deck of the boat in almost the same time as she had just swam up.

The whole ship looked relatively intact, very different from the shipwrecks she had seen before. She thought about it and released the sea beast. In case of any danger, the sea beast could still protect her.

The sea beast followed her around the shipwreck and found no danger.

She mentally prepared herself for a lot before she swam to the outside of the cabin of the young lady from the host family. She tried to open the cabin door with trembling hands, but the door didn't move at all. She increased her strength, but it still didn't work because it was locked from the inside.

Ye Mingzhu remembered that Manager Jiang said the ship sank in the middle of the night and everyone was asleep. But no matter how soundly they slept, how could they not wake up after the entire ship sank?

This is strange no matter how you look at it.

But the hatch couldn't be opened for a while, and she didn't bring any sharp instruments, so it was difficult to break in. She simply tried all the hatches she could see, but most of them couldn't be opened.

While she was busy all over the ship, a sea monster was playing near the shipwreck. After a while, it swam back and used its big head to nudge Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu was about to open the cabin to see the cargo on the ship, so she waved her hands back, but the sea monster kept nudging her, so she had to look back.

A huge coral tree stopped right behind her. She couldn't help but widen her eyes. What was going on?

The sea monster's huge tail kept swinging, and Ye Mingzhu could feel its joy.

A warm feeling surged in her heart, and her fear of seeing the "people" on the boat subsided a lot, but she no longer had the mood to investigate.

She quickly collected the corals and sea beasts back into the space and swam to the surface of the sea again.
