Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 503 Going out to sea alone
Ye Mingzhu decided to go find Jiang Hongyu herself. After all, she had the pearl and could swim in the sea.
With an idea in mind, Ye Mingzhu didn't want to listen to Ye Wu's comforting words anymore. She nodded and interrupted Ye Wu: "Fifth brother, I understand. Let's go home and wait."
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou immediately became anxious: "Sister, brother-in-law must have encountered difficulties and is waiting for us to save him."
"Well, I know, but you have to trust Fifth Brother. They will definitely find a way to rescue your brother-in-law." After Ye Mingzhu finished speaking, she walked straight towards the carriage.
Jiang Hongyu and Luodou looked at each other. They both couldn't believe that Ye Mingzhu was gone like this.
"You go and comfort Mingzhu. We have sent people to look for Hongyu and they will find him soon." Ye Wu urged the two to get on the carriage.
Although Ye Yun'an was worried about Jiang Hongyu, he was also worried about Ye Mingzhu, so he pulled Lu Dou onto the carriage.
Ye Wu watched them drive away and felt that Ye Mingzhu left a little too easily, which was unlike her usual character. He wanted to chase after them and ask them, but the carriage had disappeared. He sighed and could only return to the barracks first.
When the carriage reached the city gate, Ye Mingzhu said to Ye Yun'an, who was driving the carriage, "Yun'an, go to the dock."
"What are we going to the dock for?" Ye Yun'an stopped the carriage and frowned, hoping it was not what he thought.
"I'm going to find Hongyu." Ye Mingzhu urged Ye Yun'an to hurry up.
"Sister, I know you used to go pearl diving and diving is no problem for you, but now, we don't even know where my brother-in-law is." Ye Yun'an said this with difficulty. Of course he was worried about Jiang Hongyu, but he was reluctant to let Ye Mingzhu take the risk.
"Don't worry, I will only go to find Hongyu after ensuring my own safety." Ye Mingzhu said patiently.
Ye Yun'an still looked worried.
"Yun'an, maybe your brother-in-law is somewhere, waiting for me to rescue them. I now know that I might find him, so I have to go. But I promise you, I will never put myself in danger."
Although Ye Mingzhu was anxious, she still patiently explained to Ye Yun'an.
Ye Yun'an bit his lip, not wanting to agree, but Ye Mingzhu's expression became more and more anxious, so Ye Yun'an could only spit out: "Okay, sister, I will take you to the dock, but you must promise me that you will come back safely."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "You don't know my sister's ability yet. The sea water is just like our own. There is no danger. Don't worry."
Of course Ye Yun'an was worried, but he was afraid that if he didn't let Ye Mingzhu go, Ye Mingzhu would go secretly. If that was the case, he might as well send her there.
Ye Yun'an drove the carriage towards the dock. Lvdou was in disbelief. He didn't dare to stop Ye Yun'an from driving the carriage. He could only growl, "Brother Yun'an, we don't know where my brother-in-law is. Just let me go find him."
"Lung Bean, we can't stop my sister." Ye Yun'an only said this sentence and began to concentrate on driving the car.
Green Bean glanced back at the carriage and said hesitantly, "Sister, are you going alone?"
"Of course." Ye Yun'an took the time to glance at Ludou. "I haven't been to the sea many times since I was a child. I guess you can't swim. The two of us won't be of much help and might even be a burden. When we get to the dock, let's buy some more food and drinks. I'm worried that my sister will be at sea for several days."
Green Bean retorted: "I can water."
"That's just swimming at best. Once you get into the sea, a wave will knock you over. You'd better give up." Ye Yun'an stopped looking at Lu Dou and quickened his pace towards the dock.
When she arrived at the dock, Ye Mingzhu looked around and went straight to a fishing boat. Without saying much, she gave the other party fifty taels of silver and bought the other party's fishing boat.
The old fisherman's face was full of joy. He abandoned his boat and left without even taking his fishing net.
Ye Yun'an bought a bunch of food and brought a bucket of water. Luodou carried a large bed of bedding. Ye Mingzhu had already figured out the structure of the boat and was ready to set off.
"Sister, is it really okay for you to go by yourself?" Ye Yun'an hated himself at this time. Why couldn't he dive?
"Don't worry, I've been in the sea since I was a child, I'll be fine." Ye Mingzhu comforted Ye Yun'an: "Whether I can find Hongyu or not, I will be back in five days."
Ye Yun'an felt more at ease. His lips trembled, and he finally said only one sentence: "Sister, you must come back safely."
Green Bean also said: "Sister, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring your brother-in-law back." Ye Mingzhu waved to the two of them and drove the boat away from the dock.
The boats on the dock saw her leaving alone in the boat. Some people shook their heads and some were worried, but fortunately no one followed her, so Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou felt relieved.
The two sat on the dock for a quarter of an hour, and only went home after they could no longer see Ye Mingzhu.
On the boat, Ye Mingzhu rowed while observing the surrounding environment.
Although there was water all around her, she could tell the direction by feeling, a skill she had acquired almost since she came to ancient times.
Of course, she also had a huge golden finger. She waited until she was the only one on the sea surface around her before she released the sea beast into the sea.
The sea monsters hadn't come out to play for a long time. When they came out, they had fun on the seabed, stirring up the surrounding sea water, causing waves to roll, and countless small fish fled far away.
Ye Mingzhu waited for it to play for a while before calling it and telling it that she wanted to find Jiang Hongyu.
The sea monster's big head was against the bow of the boat, and I didn't know if it could understand.
Ye Mingzhu tried to describe Jiang Hongyu's appearance in simple words. As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the time when she was on the gold mine island and overturned the boat of those who were stealing silver mines. The sea beast must have seen Jiang Hongyu.
She looked at the sea beast with expectant eyes: "Can you find him?"
It was not known whether the sea monster understood or not, but it dived into the sea and swam forward. Ye Mingzhu hurriedly drove the boat to catch up. The sea monster stopped from time to time, and Ye Mingzhu was able to catch up.
The swimming lasted until night, and the sea monster still did not stop. Ye Mingzhu kept rowing, and her arms were already a little stiff. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and let the sea monster stop.
The sea beast swam for a long time and was a little tired. Seeing that Ye Mingzhu didn't need it, it dived into the water to play and brought back a small coral for Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu was not as excited as usual when she saw the coral. She was only worried now. The sea beast threw the coral directly onto the boat, so she had to put it in the space.
When her hand touched the coral, she found a piece of dark blue cloth on it. She didn't know much about the material of the cloth, but the cloth was smooth and shiny, so it should not be cheap. She didn't know how it appeared on the coral.
She had an idea and asked the sea beast to take her to the place where the coral stone was found.
