Fu Shijian stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Li up.
Bai Li climbed up to the cave entrance, his whole body wet. His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and even his voice was trembling. "Master, you are really as good as a god! There are dozens of large brown wooden boxes wrapped in oil paper and sealed at the bottom of the lake! I opened a small crack in one of the large wooden boxes, and wow, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry! It was exactly what we were looking for before!"
"This group of bandits are really good at hiding things. If it weren't for your wisdom and intelligence, who would have thought that the bottom of the lake is actually their treasure trove!"
"However, the lake bottom is more than ten meters deep, and the boxes are extremely heavy. It is indeed difficult to salvage them all." After Bai Li's excitement, he began to feel worried again.
Not everyone is as adept at water and breath-holding as he is.
Shifujian looked at Baili and said, "Don't you feel cold now?"
"A-choo!" Bai Li covered his nose and mouth and sneezed. He rubbed his arms with his hands, his teeth were chattering, and he stamped his feet on the ground. He looked at his master with resentment and complained, "Master, I didn't feel cold before you said it, but after you mentioned it, my whole body started to feel cold. A-choo, A-choo~~"
Finally it was quiet and Fu Shijian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Shijian threw Bai Li's sword back to him and said, "Take it and go."
Bai Li hurriedly caught the sword and looked at the master who left without saying goodbye. "Master, where are you going?"
"Nonsense, let's go back and find someone." He asked his men who were good at swimming to come and salvage the box.
"Oh, A-choo, A-choo~~ Master, please slow down and wait for me!" Bai Li held his sword in one hand, rubbed his nose with the other, shook his body, and trotted to catch up with Fu Shijian.

On the other side, after Feng Jiuyan and the other seven people had eaten and drunk their fill, Song Ning and Song Chen were responsible for cleaning up the pots and pans.
Since the water source in the stone cave was quite far from the camping site, Feng Jiuyan originally planned to take the pots and pans to the stone cave, go through the motions, use the space cheat, and concentrate his mind on washing the pots and pans.
But Song Ning and Song Chen, brother and sister, said that the officials had found a small lake not far away. They hurriedly persuaded Feng Jiuyan and the others to go and have a rest, and leave small matters like washing the dishes to them.
In this way, Feng Jiuyan and his family of three returned to the donkey cart to rest.
Zhang Chong and Zhang Xiaowu also staggered back to their resting place. This time, they returned empty-handed, not even taking their bowls and chopsticks back. According to Zhang Chong, since they would all come to Feng Jiuyan's place for free meals in the future, it would be a bit troublesome to take the bowls and chopsticks back and forth, and it seemed that their relationship was not very close.
Feng Jiuyan curled his lips. He didn't know the two of them yet. It was purely because of laziness.
After Feng Jiuyan, her mother and brother got on the donkey cart, they each took a corner, covered themselves with soft and warm quilts, and fell into a deep sleep.
Because the exile team was traveling so fast, the officials were also very tired. Therefore, this time the rest time was half an hour longer than usual.
For a moment, except for a few officers who were on duty, almost everyone, including the prisoners and officers who were not on duty, fell asleep leaning against the trees.
......
"Dong~Dong~Dong~"
"Get up, get up, we're about to set off. Everyone, everyone, get up~~"
The officers struck gongs to wake up all the prisoners.
Feng Jiuyan and his family of three were still lying in the donkey cart, continuing to sleep soundly.
The family of three was very tired, especially Madam Feng, who was busy dealing with the refugees who came to loot. And Feng Jiuyan, although she was dealing with four refugees alone, she was not tired. She was still unwilling to get up, purely because of laziness.
Weather like this, neither too hot nor too cold, is perfect for sleeping.
She had nothing to do anyway, and she had to go out at midnight tonight, so she just went back to sleep. Only after a good rest could she do something big tonight.
Outside the carriage, after the officers counted the number of people, the team continued on their journey.
On the way, Feng Jiuyan was half asleep when he seemed to sense that the team had briefly paused, accompanied by a burst of noise. After a while, it returned to its usual calm, and the donkey cart continued to move.
Feng Jiuyan slept for an hour before waking up.
Feng Jiuli and Madam Feng also woke up.
Feng Jiuyan rolled up the quilt in the carriage and put it away, and then set up a small square table in the carriage. Then, he took out the golden wound medicine and other medicines used for bandaging wounds from the "messenger bag" and changed the medicine for the wound on Madam Feng's hand.
After changing the medicine, Feng Jiuyan reached into the bag she was carrying and took out strawberries wrapped in oil paper, as well as snacks, rice cakes and mung bean cakes wrapped in oil paper and placed them on the small square table.
"Afternoon dessert, come and eat." Feng Jiuyan invited Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli to eat.
Although Feng Jiuli was not dragged into the group chat between Madam Feng and her daughter, Feng Jiuli was small and smart, and he could vaguely guess something. He was no longer surprised that his sister could always take out delicious food anytime and anywhere.
At the same time, he also knew that this matter was very important and needed to be kept secret. He himself could not know too much, so as to protect his sister.
Therefore, Feng Jiuli didn't ask anything. She just ate whatever she had, didn't ask questions, wasn't curious, and didn't have any desire to pry.
He thought that he would always know what he should know.
If he is not supposed to know something, he should just swallow it and pretend he knows nothing.
Thanks to Feng Jiuli's good advantage, Feng Jiuyan didn't feel any pressure when taking things out of the space, and she no longer had to rack her brains to come up with excuses to take things out.
After thinking for a while, he reached into the "bag" again and took out a water bag and three white jade tea cups.
Feng Jiuyan placed a white jade teacup in front of the two of them, unplugged the water bag, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
The tea aroma is dense, exuding the unique fragrance of tea, which makes people feel refreshed.
Feng Jiuyan picked up the white jade teacup in front of her with her slender white fingers, brought it to her nose and sniffed it, "As expected of the emperor..." She almost blurted out something when she was not careful.
"Emperor what?" Feng Jiuli picked up the teacup in front of her, took a gulp, and said casually.
Feng Jiuyan bit the tip of her tongue and said with gritted teeth, "Haha, it's worthy of being the Imperial... the Rain-Predawn Dragon Well that is produced in abundance in the Imperial City."
Madam Feng glanced at her daughter, somewhat puzzled.
Is it because she has lived in the borderland for so long that she doesn't know that the imperial city also produces a lot of pre-rain Longjing tea?
Feng Jiuli nodded ignorantly. So that’s how it tastes. It’s quite delicious.
After saying that, he drank another cup.
Feng Jiuyan raised his sleeve to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. It was a close call. He almost let the cat out of the bag!
This tea was actually obtained by her when she raided the dog emperor's private storehouse!
She picked up the teacup and drank another cup to calm herself.
Not to mention, it tastes pretty good.
