Su Dahai and Su Chenggong looked at Su Chengguo and shook their heads.
The corpse terrified them; in their utter disarray, who could remember him?
The body was still tied with a rope, still soaking in the seawater...
Su Chengguo explained as she pulled the rope.
“Dad, let me tell you, Yuqing said that this corpse disturbed the boat. We need to send him home so that he can rest in peace. That way, it will be more convenient for us to use this boat.”
Hearing what Su Chengguo said, Su Chenggong and Su Dahai also came to help.
Together they dragged Chen Baiyu's body onto the boat.
Su Dahai sighed, "What a young kid..."
He doesn't even look as old as his son.
No wonder he disturbed this ship. So young and yet he died in this cold, dark seabed. Since we were destined to meet, we should send him back to shore so that he can rest in peace.
"Let's not delay any longer, let's head back."
Su Dahai got up and walked towards the computer room.
He was exhausted today. He hadn't done anything, but he just felt tired and wanted to go home, drink a bowl of hot ginger water, and see his wife, Liu Xiaohua.
Su Chenggong looked at Su Chengguo: "You really scared us today..."
Su Chengguo looked at Su Chenggong with remorse and said, "Big brother, I'm sorry."
What happens underwater is beyond his control, so there's nothing he can do about it.
Su Chenggong patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder, and the two brothers leaned against each other.
Once she calmed down, Su Chengguo changed out of her diving suit.
This diving suit belongs to Jason Chan; it might become evidence to find his family.
Yuqing said that they should just send him to the police station, and they didn't need to worry about the rest.
Su Chengguo carefully cleaned the water plants off Chen Baiyu's body.
Su Chenggong went to find a piece of cloth to cover Chen Baiyu's body later.
Su Chengguo looked at Chen Baiyu and murmured to herself, "Brother, I don't even know your name. You see, we are destined to meet. Rest in peace. This life's karmic ties are now severed."
Su Chengguo brought out a cloth, and the two of them carefully wrapped Chen Baiyu up.
At 3 p.m., the large ship docked.
When Liu, the fishmonger, saw this, he waved, and many people looked at the Su family with envious eyes.
But when I got closer, I was a little dumbfounded. Where were the fish?
The ship was completely empty.
Fish Collector Liu was also a bit confused. Seeing that the Su father and son looked very tired, he thought they had struck it lucky and found a good catch, but there was nothing on the boat.
"Brother Su, what's going on with you guys today?"
Liu, the fishmonger, looked at Su Chengguo with a puzzled expression. He couldn't help but wonder to himself, "Could it be that the Su family has also been affected by this ship? Can't the Su family suppress this strange ship either?"
"Brother Liu, we've recovered a body. We can't talk for now. I need to report to the village chief. This also needs to be reported to the authorities."
Su Chengguo briefly explained the situation to Liu, the fish collector, and then went ashore to the village.
Liu's expression changed repeatedly as he collected the fish.
Many people who had gathered around started discussing it.
"Finding a body on the first voyage is bad luck... Sigh... Aren't the Su family supposed to be very lucky?"
"Looks like even good luck has its limits. I even ran into a corpse... tsk..."
Some sighed, some laughed; at least I feel a bit more at peace.
Some people expressed their concern and tried to reassure Su Dahai, telling him not to take it to heart.
Su Dahai simply smiled faintly and said nothing.
We will not discuss the matter of the corpse at all.
Fish Collector Liu knew there was probably something going on, so he said to everyone, "Just mind your own business, why bother with others?"
After everyone had left, Liu, the fishmonger, asked Su Dahai, "Uncle, is there anything I can help with?"
Even though everyone thought that the Su family's good luck had run out after bringing back the body, he still wanted to help.
Su Dahai shook his head: "Thank you, but it's not necessary now. Once the village chief arrives, we'll take him to the police station, and then it'll be none of our business."
Not long after, Su Chengguo arrived with the village chief and several other people, including soldiers.
Upon closer inspection, the soldier looked familiar.
"Old Su, Comrade Xing heard that you recovered a body, so he came to check on the situation."
The village chief, Qian Feng, was in his forties. He was very calm and experienced, and he treated Xing Yuan with great respect.
Xing Yuan asked Su Dahai, "Where is the body?"
Su Dahai pointed to the boat, and Xing Yuan quickly boarded it.
He was followed by several soldiers, and many villagers who wanted to watch the spectacle were stopped.
Xing Yuan walked to Chen Baiyu's body, uncovered the cloth covering him, looked at it, covered it again, and then said to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, "Prepare to take it to the army."
After Xing Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and went to Su Dahai's side, bowed to them, and said gratefully, "Thank you for bringing him back. He is the youngest son of one of my cousins. This child has always loved to wander around since he was little. His family was extremely worried when he went missing..."
"No matter what, we'll see the person alive or dead."
Xing Yuan couldn't remember what that distant aunt looked like. He had never even met Chen Baiyu; the photo was only delivered to him after Chen Baiyu disappeared.
Unfortunately, when she finally saw him, he was already gone, but her great-aunt had already foreseen this ending.
"No need to thank us, we just did it as a favor. We hope he can be laid to rest soon."
Su Dahai said with a sigh.
Xing Yuan nodded, and soon his men carried Chen Baiyu's body away.
People gradually dispersed as the excitement died down.
Village chief Qian Feng lowered his voice and said to Su Dahai, "Old Su, your family is about to get its turn. Recently, someone from higher up has been investigating your daughter and Yi Guohai. Just wait, your daughter will get justice."
Looking at the honest and kind-hearted Su Dahai, Qian Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Good people are indeed rewarded."
Su Dahai was taken aback, unsure of Qian Feng's intention. He didn't have time to ask further, and simply smiled politely and thanked him, "Thank you for telling me, Village Chief."
Qian Feng waved his hand, saying there was no need for thanks; the Su family would know the news in a couple of days anyway.
After everyone left, the Su father and son packed their things and went home.
When they arrived at the door, Su Chengguo called out as usual, "Chunmei, Mom, we're back."
Zhou Chunmei came out happily when she heard the shouts, but she was a little puzzled when she saw that Su Chengguo had empty hands and looked tired.
Liu Xiaohua and Li Xue then had their own questions.
That doesn't make sense. This big ship has such good equipment, there's no reason for it to be air-defended.
"Let's go back inside and talk."
Su Dahai was completely listless. He wasn't frightened by the corpse, but by Su Chengguo.
After entering the house, Su Chengguo explained the whole story in detail.
The family listened with mixed feelings, as if they had a lot to say, but in the end they could only sigh.
Liu Xiaohua stood up and said, "It's good that you're back. Go take a hot bath, drink some ginger water, rub your face with medicinal wine, and rest well for a while. We'll have dinner later. A'Luo and the others had a great haul from beachcombing today."
The crabs have roe, and the shrimp are collected bucket by bucket. These shrimp are all good, and the children love to eat them, so we simply stop selling them and take them home. The ones we can't finish are made into dried shrimp to eat as snacks.
