Fu Wan was somewhat disappointed that there was no gold.
But at the same time, she couldn't help but be curious about the two cloth bags.
Something that can be sealed in a wooden box at the bottom of the sea is probably not as simple as it looks.
She reached out and picked up the smaller cloth bag, which was already soaked through from being immersed in seawater for so long.
Fu Wan untied the knot on the cloth bag, reached in, and pulled out a roll of cloth.
Strange, what is this?
Full of doubt, she untied the thin rope next to the roll of cloth. When the roll was unfolded, Fu Wan was completely dumbfounded.
To her utter surprise, the bag contained a row of gold needles!
Various sizes of gold needles were stuck in that dull gray cloth, and even after who knows how much time had passed, those gold needles still gleamed.
God, there really is a wonderful treasure!
Fu Wan was overjoyed, having already found a home for the scroll of golden needles in her heart.
She was worried about what gift to give Bai Qianzhou in return, and this scroll of golden needles was just the right thing to do!
After carefully re-rolling up the cloth covering the gold needles, Fu Wan looked at another cloth bag.
This small bag contains gold needles, so what's in the other, larger bag?
Could it also be a gold needle, or even a larger one?
Fu Wan then denied this speculation.
Because when she held the cloth bag in her hand, she could clearly feel that the contents inside were neat and tidy, and they felt like books or something similar.
The place next to the gold needles must be a medical book.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan didn't open it rashly. Since the person who threw the wooden box into the sea dared to put these two items inside, they must have waterproofed the medical book.
She is still underwater; opening it rashly would only damage the medical book.
If she damages the medical book, it will be a huge loss for her.
Jinzhen carried medical books, and she was quite certain that these things were from China.
Although she didn't know when it was in China, or who threw these things into the sea, since she had encountered them, she had an obligation to bring them ashore and let them see the light of day again.
With this in mind, Fu Wan quickly and nimbly gathered the two cloth bags into her arms. The wooden box couldn't be brought up; after being soaked in water for so long, although the initial prying hadn't been very loud, the box was already in pieces.
Before leaving, Fu Wan carefully checked the wooden box again to see if there were any partitions on the wooden planks, but unfortunately there weren't.
Fu Wan was quite satisfied with this unexpected surprise during her swim. She sheathed her dagger, then picked up her harpoon and prepared to return.
Upon picking it up, he realized that the harpoon hadn't been retracted yet, and the large leopard-spotted moray eel was already silent, floating in the water.
A number of small fish that love the smell of blood are already circling around the moray eel, wanting to go up and dismember it.
This is also the normal state of the food chain in the sea. Fu Wan was somewhat relieved that the smell did not attract sharks that also love the smell of blood.
She hurriedly stepped forward, removed the arrow from the eel, and then put the arrow back into the harpoon.
The moray eel was quite large. After thinking for a moment, she took out a net and put the moray eel in it. Then she planned to take the harpoon and her catch and prepare to surface.
The water here is much deeper than before. Because she was holding something in both hands, it took Fu Wan more than ten minutes to swim to the surface.
"Look, there's Ah Wan over there!"
Before Fu Wan could even wave in their direction, Fu Ming shouted, and Ye Lin and Fu Liang had already taken the oars and paddled the kayak toward her.
"Awan, quick, let me pull you up."
Fu Ming reached out his hand, but Fu Wan still handed him what she was holding first.
"Holy crap, this is a huge moray eel!"
Fu Ming cursed, and after taking a look and finding that the eel was indeed dead, he dared to touch it.
As expected of his sister, she managed to catch such a large leopard-print moray eel.
"What's this?"
Ye Lin took the cloth bag from Fu Wan's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
At this moment, Fu Wan was also pulled onto the boat by Fu Liang.
There was some fresh water on the boat. Fu Wan took a sip, slumped down on the kayak to rest for a while, and then replied, "I picked this up underwater. I'll see what it is once I'm on the boat."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming and Fu Liang exchanged bewildered glances.
They knew about Fu Wan's previous incident of going into the water to pick up gold bars and bricks, so they instinctively felt it was that kind of thing again.
Fu Wan knew what they were thinking at a glance. She shook her head and said, "It's not what you're thinking. The unopened bag inside feels like a book to me."
"Oh, it's a book!"
Fu Ming lost interest instantly, as did Ye Lin and Fu Liang.
These three brothers are all cut from the same cloth; apart from story collections and various novels and novellas, they have absolutely no interest in books.
Fu Wan glanced at the empty sea before raising her hand to check the time.
There's still half an hour until their appointment with Chen Balang, so it should be soon.
What did you find in the water?
Fu Wan asked casually, before she had even opened the fish tank.
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming perked up.
He opened the fish box as if presenting a treasure, and Fu Wan took a look. Good heavens, the fish box was actually full!
There were several parrotfish and goatfish inside, but what surprised Fu Wan the most was that there was also a grouper weighing about two pounds on the surface!
"Wow, this Su Mouse Spot is so beautiful, who did this?"
"Of course it's me!"
Fu Ming proudly raised his head, "Awan, Su-type grouper is even rarer than Eastern Star Grouper and Mouse Grouper. It's not a bad deal for me to bring it into the water today, is it?"
"Of course it's worth it!"
Fu Wan responded, picked up the fish and looked at it twice. It was indeed Su Shuban. She didn't expect there would be such a thing in this sea area.
The Sumatran grouper, scientifically known as the black-spotted grouper, is a type of coral grouper. It is typically brownish-grayish-green in color, with spots the size of mung beans scattered throughout its body.
Although its name contains the character for "rat," Su Shuban's head and neck do not have the same prominent hump as the rat-spotted camel.

This type of grouper is very rare. Although it is not as expensive as the rat grouper, it tastes good. The meat is firm and refreshing, and it is best steamed.
She hadn't expected that Fu Ming would be so lucky today, even managing to catch a Su-style spotted dog.
However, when her gaze lingered on Fu Ming's face, she noticed something amiss.
"Brother, what happened to your face?"
Upon closer inspection, there was a scratch on Fu Ming's forehead. Although no blood was seeping out, it still looked quite shocking.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally bumped into it while fishing."
Fu Ming waved his hand dismissively, but Ye Lin mercilessly exposed his lie.
"What do you mean by 'accidentally'? Ah Wan, you have no idea how hard this guy works underwater!"
After he shot the grouper with his speargun, it hid in a crevice in the coral reef. This guy just went and tried to pull it out by hand, which is how he got scratched by the coral next to him!
