Chapter 178 The truth is right before our eyes!
The water in the pond is quite clear. Although it is not running water, it is relatively clean here, otherwise the naughty kids would not come here to play in the water.
However, no matter how clear the water is, it is not living water. You cannot see the bottom at a glance. There is a lot of moss and algae growing underneath, which is green and covers the bottom. A notebook is not very big, so if it falls into any gap, it will be a big project to find it.
But Xia Xian did not retreat after seeing it. She took a deep breath, held her breath and dived into the water. She poked the ground with a bamboo pole. When she poked something hard, she immediately bent down and dug with her hands!
But it's actually just a piece of stone, not a notebook.
She was a little disappointed and couldn't hold her breath anymore, so she quickly floated up to take two breaths and then dived back in.
While she was looking for something, Zhou Xingshi had already caught two naughty kids not far away. They were only seven or eight years old, but they were so daring!
Zhou Xingshi would beat them up first when he caught them, then clamp their heads with his arms and prepare to drag them up.
The two naughty kids rolled their eyes in despair. After being beaten into submission, they dared not struggle anymore to avoid being beaten again.
"Hey, look, what is she doing?"
A little child suddenly pointed in Xia Xian's direction and asked.
"I don't know. Retrieving something? Did she drop something? I can help her retrieve it! Uncle, uncle, you two are here together, right? This sister is your friend, right? Let us go and let us help her retrieve her things!"
"Yes, yes! We can help!"
The two little kids haven't had enough fun playing in the water, so how could they bear to go up like this? They would rather soak in the water to help Xia Xian find things. However, he calls Xia Xian sister, but calls Zhou Xingshi uncle.
Zhou Xingshi's heart felt like it was pierced by an arrow!
"That's enough! I'm only a few years older than her, why are you calling me uncle? Call me brother!"
Zhou Xingshi simply couldn't bear it anymore!
“Oh, good brother, brother~~~ please, let us go and help!”
"No, get back to the shore and don't go in the water again! Do you know how dangerous it is to play in the water alone without an adult?"
"How many people have drowned in this pond? Don't you know that? If I see you playing in the water again, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhou Xingshi threw the two men onto the shore and threatened them in a vicious tone.
"knew."
The buttocks of the two naughty kids were aching slightly. Although they felt very unconvinced after being scolded by him, they thought about it and let it go. They did not dare to refute. However, they still did not want to leave, so they squatted over to Shen You and watched Xia Xian salvage things.
Zhou Xingshi threw them up and swam to Xia Xian to help.
But after fishing in the pond for a long time, they only found a lot of random things, including half-rotten straw sandals, moss-covered slingshots, and even potion bottles...
The only thing missing was what they were looking for.
Yes, if it was so easy to find, it should have been found years ago. How could it have been preserved until now?
Could it be that the diary was not found in the pond in the previous life, then where did she hide it?
Xia Xian was puzzled. She emerged from the water, panting and unable to hold on any longer.
"Sister, what are you looking for? Can't you tell us? Maybe we have fished it out before? My second brother and I come here every day to play in the water and have fished out a lot of things!"
"Look, this slingshot is the one we dropped. We tried to get it last time but failed. But we got a box of candy instead. Hehehe."
"I just don't know when it fell off. After we ate it, our stomachs started to hurt and we rolled around on the ground. We didn't dare to tell our family and we almost died outside."
Talking about that experience, both of them were still a little scared. They remembered it and would never dare to eat carelessly again.
"sugar?"
"What box? Is there anything else in it besides candy? Where did you salvage it?"
Xia Xian suddenly smelled the truth. In her imagination, if the notebook could still be preserved underwater, it was probably put in a waterproof bag or a box. However, it was impossible to put only the diary in the box. There might be some food in the box, and she would take it together with the girlish thoughts in the notebook to show Yue Hang.
As Xia Xian thought about it, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Chen You and Zhou Xingshi also looked closely at the two naughty kids with some anticipation.
"It's a red biscuit box, about the size of my palms, and it contains 10 candies, including White Rabbit milk candies, fruit candies, and some chocolate. It's a pity that I can't eat it anymore."
The two of them still feel heartbroken when they think of the candy. How can such an expensive thing not be eaten? !
"Get to the point! Is there anything else besides sugar?"
Zhou Xingshi gritted his teeth. How could these two little brats not grasp the key points?
"Oh, I think there is one. It's a paper crane made of paper, right?"
The taller one had bigger eyes, and his eyeballs were rolling around, making him look very smart. He thought about it for a moment, then asked his friend uncertainly.
"And there are hearts! They are folded very beautifully, but they are useless, so we just threw them away."
Naughty Kid No. 2 nodded affirmatively. His hair was not short, and it looked a bit like a bob. He looked quite cute.
But now everyone has complicated feelings and doesn’t think they are cute!
"Where did those papers go? Take us there!"
Xia Xian said anxiously and quickly climbed out of the pond.
Instead of putting a whole diary in, tear off the papers that record her girlish thoughts, fold them into small animals and hearts, etc. and put them in. It makes it more romantic and seems to be in line with Tao Ruxin's behavior!
She had a strong premonition that the box belonged to Tao Ruxin, and the paper crane inside was folded using her written notes!
"Yes! If this is what we are looking for, you don't have to waste the candies. Eat as much as you want!!"
Zhou Xingshi said in a strong and powerful voice, and climbed out of the pond swiftly.
Shen You brought money, so she directly took out two dollars and handed them to the two naughty kids, speaking briefly and to the point.
"lead the way!"
Could it be that what they lost was what they wanted? That's a bit troublesome.
The naughty kid scratched his head, but still couldn't bear to refuse the temptation. Even with the sugar-coated bullets, which kid could resist it?
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
"I still remember where I lost it, but if it gets blown away by the wind or soaked by the rain, it's no longer our business. The money has already been given to us, and we can't take it back!"
Naughty Kid No. 1 knew to speak frankly, after all, they threw these things out separately and took the boxes and candies away.
Who knows only a few of them can withstand the wind and sun of nature?
"What is given to you is yours, and I will never ask for it back. Lead the way!"
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, the two children immediately ran excitedly to the front to lead the way, and Xia Xian and the others quickly caught up!
The truth is right in front of us!
