Chapter 297 I Promise
When Ye Mingzhu approached the water surface, she noticed something different. There seemed to be a small boat floating on the sea. She hesitated for a moment and floated to the side.
"Mingzhu, come up quickly." Unexpectedly, the person on the boat was Wang Dahu.
Although Ye Mingzhu was surprised, she still turned over and got into the boat and put on the quilt handed to her by Wang Dahu.
Wang Dahu handed her the ginger soup, watched her drink it, and then asked, "Are you feeling better now? If you are, let's go back to the boat first."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Better."
Wang Dahu didn't ask about the situation on the seabed and slowly rowed back.
Back on the ship, Wang Dahu asked Ye Mingzhu to go back to the cabin first, and he went to get some hot water so that she could wash herself.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect such good treatment. She had been in the sea many times, but this was the first time she could take a bath after going into the sea.
Originally wanting to change her wet clothes as soon as possible, since she could take a shower, Ye Mingzhu waited for Wang Dahu to bring over a basin of hot water.
There was less hot water than Ye Mingzhu had imagined, but it was enough for her to wash her body and hair. She was very satisfied.
There wasn't much water, and since she was preoccupied, she washed very quickly.
She wrapped her hair and went out to get some water. Wang Dahu was waiting outside the door. He took the basin, glanced at Ye Mingzhu, and lowered his head: "Mingzhu, dry your hair first before coming out."
Ye Mingzhu touched her wet long hair and missed the hair dryer cap and hair dryer infinitely.
By the time she finally dried her hair, half an hour had passed and Wang Dahu had already paced outside several times.
"Mingzhu, you're out? Shall we go find the steward now?" Wang Dahu's eyes were full of joy.
"Well, uncle, I entered the shipwreck this time, but there were some unexpected situations. I want to tell the steward." Ye Mingzhu's face was not looking good.
Wang Dahu's heart sank. Without asking any more questions, he took Ye Mingzhu to see Manager Jiang.
Manager Jiang did not sleep and was waiting for news from Ye Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu, what's the situation at the bottom of the sea?" He had a bad feeling when he saw Ye Mingzhu's face darken, but the ship had sunk, so what bad thing could happen?
Ye Mingzhu glanced at Wang Dahu before saying, "Manager Jiang, I want to talk to you alone about what happened under the sea."
She thought about it all the way and always felt that the situation on the seabed was unusual. She saw the situation on the seabed and couldn't refuse, but she could still get her uncle out.
Manager Jiang's eyebrows were furrowed like two caterpillars. He licked his cracked lips and looked at Wang Dahu: "Dahu, you go out first."
"No, I'll stay here with you." Wang Dahu had guessed that something unusual was happening under the sea, but he couldn't guess what it was.
Ye Mingzhu is his niece, and Manager Jiang is his future father-in-law. He cannot bear to see anything happen to them.
Ye Mingzhu lowered her head and said nothing. Butler Jiang immediately got angry: "Just go out when I told you to. Why are you making so much trouble? Just keep an eye on the outside and don't let anyone else get close."
Wang Dahu looked at Ye Mingzhu again, but she kept her head down and his expression could not be seen clearly.
He knew that if he didn't go out, Ye Mingzhu would not tell him what happened under the sea.
Even though he knew that Ye Mingzhu was trying to protect him, he still felt very upset.
He bowed to Manager Jiang, glanced at Ye Mingzhu again, and then walked out.
Ye Mingzhu didn't look up until she heard the door close. She walked to the door and locked it thoroughly before walking in to see the steward Jiang. She lowered her voice and said, "Steward, I dived to the bottom of the sea and saw the sunken ship. The exterior of the ship is intact, but most of the hatches can't be opened. The hatches that can be opened are all empty."
Steward Jiang blinked and quickly understood what Ye Mingzhu meant. He asked with trembling lips, "The master's lady's hatch?"
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "It can't be opened."
Manager Jiang's heart sank to the bottom of his chest. This was too strange. Who had sunk the boat? Why did everyone lock the door?
This kind of thing is really rare.
When they were sailing, of course someone would lock the hatch, but some boatmen only knew how to close the door and not lock it. Besides, if the boat was about to sink, why would everyone still lock the door instead of opening it and escaping?
unless?
They fell asleep and had no idea that the ship was sinking.
It was a cold day, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on the back of Manager Jiang.
Who did it? The list of everyone on board flashed through Jiang Daguanshi's mind, but he had no clue.
Ye Mingzhu stood there without saying a word. Anyway, she had told the news, and she would not get involved in other matters.
Manager Jiang thought for a long time with a tense face, but he had no clue at all. It was not until his head started to hurt that he came to his senses.
Ye Mingzhu was still standing in the middle of the room.
"Mingzhu, sit down quickly." Manager Jiang felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "Do you think the door in the sunken ship can be opened?"
Ye Mingzhu had already thought about this question, and it was not difficult to answer.
"If you want to open those doors, you'll probably need an axe or a saw, and it might not work in one go."
This answer did not satisfy Jiang Daguanshi: "If we want to rescue all the people from the sunken ship, how long will it take?"
Ye Mingzhu just looked at Manager Jiang without saying anything, her eyes expressing impossibility.
If many people went down, there would be no problem, but so much time has passed since the incident happened, and they still don’t understand the situation of the shipwreck. It is obviously unrealistic to expect those people to rescue people.
What if Ye Mingzhu goes to fish it out herself?
She could only laugh!
From Ye Mingzhu's reaction, Jiang Daguanshi realized that he had asked a stupid question. He thought for a moment and asked, "Wouldn't it be faster to just pull the young lady out of the master's house?"
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "I have never used tools like an axe on the seabed. I don't know how long it will take."
Manager Jiang's brows relaxed. "As long as we can get it out, it's fine even if it takes a little longer."
Ye Mingzhu was mentally prepared, but still unwilling. Rescuing a "person" is different from rescuing something.
Whenever she thought of that scene, she got goosebumps all over her body and was filled with rejection.
"Mingzhu, I know this is putting you in a difficult position. You're even younger than Xiaoyue," said Jiang Daguanshi, with a wry smile on his face. "If I send a letter to the main family and they reply, they will rescue the young lady from the side branch at all costs."
Ye Mingzhu swallowed hard before saying, "She's been in the water for so long, I'm afraid..."
"No matter what, fish it out." Steward Jiang shook his head. "This is the master's order. I have to obey. I can only entrust this matter to you. Not only because you can go to the sea, but also because the master's daughter is not married yet."
Ye Mingzhu tried hard not to roll her eyes at the other person. The person was dead, and she still cared about who rescued him.
"Mingzhu, please help me with this matter. I will agree to any request you make." Manager Jiang said solemnly.
Ye Mingzhu didn't want to ask for too much, she was just a little resistant to this matter, and she was also worried.
"Master, I know about this. I won't be silenced, right?"
