Chapter 212 Wang Chi is back?
The seawater was clear, and Song Jiaojiao could clearly see Ge Yuanshan swimming towards the seabed.
There are many colorful corals on the seabed, and various beautiful sea fish swim around the ship below.
Five minutes passed, and Ge Yuanshan still hadn't come up. Song Jiaojiao asked worriedly, "Village Chief, why hasn't he come up yet? Is he alright?"
"It's alright. Yuanshan has held his breath for almost a quarter of an hour at most, so it's still early for him." Village Chief Ge wasn't worried about Ge Yuanshan in the water at all. He was worried at first, but after seeing it so many times, he no longer felt that way.
A few minutes later, Ge Yuanshan finally came up.
“Madam, I saw two corals on the seabed, each as big as a bathtub, one red and one yellow. I’m afraid I can’t carry them by myself, I need a few more people with me.”
Ge Yuanshan recounted the coral he saw on the seabed.
"Okay, you can decide which people you need and arrange accordingly."
"Haizhu, Hailang, and the two of you, come down with me!" Ge Yuanshan knew very well how long the villagers could hold their breath underwater.
Haizhu was the only girl among them. Despite her small stature, her diving skills were only slightly inferior to Ge Yuanshan's, and many of the men in the village couldn't compare to her.
The people who were called out were making preparations, and Ge Yuanshan was also preparing the things they would need later. The tide had almost completely receded, the sea was completely calm, and the sunlight was dazzling on the sea.
"No need to rush, Yuanshan, rest well before you go down." Village Chief Ge said as he prepared the things, glancing at Song Jiaojiao as he finished speaking, worried that she might find the time too long.
"Yes, the village chief is right. Don't rush. Safety is the most important thing. If you encounter danger, protect yourself first."
Song Jiaojiao said with a smile, looking at the many snails on the cliff edge, piled up densely together, which almost gave her trypophobia.
It was midday, and the sun was shining directly on everyone on the fishing boat, which had no canopy. They were all drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, hoping that Ge Yuanshan and his team would succeed on their first try.
"They're coming up!" Village Chief Ge had been keeping a close eye on the situation on the seabed, and he saw the dark shadow below the ship growing larger and larger.
With a splash, the five people emerged from the sea one after another, and the people on the boat quickly pulled them aboard. "Alright, the coral below has been tied up, we can start pulling it up now."
As Ge Yuanshan spoke, panting, the people on the boat heard him and began to pull the rope. A minute later, two corals emerged from the sea.
When Song Jiaojiao saw the food arrive, she ordered people to start walking back. With the sun so strong, they were afraid they would get heatstroke if they waited any longer.
After arriving home, Song Jiaojiao took out two hundred taels of silver and gave them to Village Chief Ge, asking him to distribute them.
The village chief was surprised to find so much money; he thought it would be at most ten taels per person. He took the money and quickly thanked Song Jiaojiao.
The two corals were indeed beautiful. Taking advantage of the fact that they had just set sail, Song Jiaojiao broke off two branches with roots and put them into her spatial storage.
The rest should be arranged in nice flowerpots by Shang Xiaoxiao to make a good impression. Such a large coral would fetch a good price even if sold, especially given its bright red and yellow colors.
She planned to give the yellow coral to Liu Xuewen and the red one to Wang Ziyi.
After giving these instructions, Song Jiaojiao went back to her room.
Upon entering the space, a flying tiger appeared in front of me.
"Host, you're here. Did you bring something good?" Fei Hu asked, noticing that Song Jiaojiao's hands were empty.
"I put the things in earlier, didn't you see them?" Song Jiaojiao thought Fei Hu had come to deliver something to her.
"Ah! You mean those two red and yellow things! I thought they were some kind of items that were put in the warehouse." Fei Hu scratched his head and smiled ingratiatingly.
After hearing this, Song Jiaojiao silently went to the warehouse and took out the items. She herself had no idea whether these things could be planted.
Song Jiaojiao chose to plant coral in the black soil area. She dug a hole, filled it with stream water, and planted the coral. As soon as she finished planting, Song Jiaojiao was kicked out of the space. It seems that the space recognizes coral as a plant, and it is a rare type.
"Congratulations, host. The space is upgrading. This upgrade will take ten days." Fei Hu's excited voice came. Song Jiaojiao sighed. After this upgrade, the space is only one level away from being fully upgraded. Once it is fully upgraded, she can raise animals.
This was something Song Jiaojiao had been looking forward to for a long time, especially the cattle. In the Great Jin Kingdom, cattle could only be reported and consumed after they died of disease.
"Madam, a letter has arrived from the Sifang Escort Agency." Zhou Dayong came over with the envelope just as Song Jiaojiao came out.
"Where is the letter from?" Song Jiaojiao asked as she took it.
"It's from Yunshui Town. It seems to be an urgent letter. I wonder if something urgent has happened at home." Zhou Dayong noticed the urgent mark on the envelope.
After reading the letter, Song Jiaojiao quickly said, "Give the order to pack your things and return to Yunshui Town tomorrow. While you're at it, go to the village chief's house and return the house."
After saying that, Song Jiaojiao started packing her things.
In the evening, Mu Xue, who had just returned from outside, learned that she was suddenly going to Yunshui Town, and hurriedly went to ask Song Jiaojiao for advice.
"Mother, why are we going back so suddenly?" Mu Xue ran in from outside the courtyard and asked.
“Your eldest sister wrote a letter saying your father is back!” Song Jiaojiao said without stopping her work.
In Mu Qing's letter, she not only mentioned that Wang Chi had returned, but also said that Wang Chi was not a son of the Wang family. He returned this time for two reasons: first, to pick up Song Jiaojiao and her group to go to the capital; and second, to thank Old Lady Wang for raising him over the years.
Old Mrs. Wang was trying to use this incident to move into Song Jiaojiao's house, but the village chief and the others suppressed the matter.
"What? Father is back? Didn't Father die on the battlefield? How come he's suddenly back?" Mu Xue asked in shock. She had never met Wang Chi since she was a child, and her knowledge of him came mostly from other people's stories, so she was more shocked than happy about the news of his return.
"It's hard to explain in a short time. You'll understand when we get back. Mu Xue, you should hurry up and pack your clothes. We're going home tomorrow, so please travel light. Anything you can't take with you can be sent back by the escort agency."
Song Jiaojiao didn't explain much, and she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics. She would only find out when she returned to Yunshui Town.
"I understand." Mu Xue's voice was muffled. She didn't know how to face Wang Chi, her father. Although she was young, she had heard the rumors in the village.
Especially before her mother became a better person, many people in the village called her a bastard behind her back, saying that she was not Wang Chi's child, but was born to her mother and another man. The children in the village would not play with her and would even make up nursery rhymes to bully her.
These were things Song Jiaojiao hadn't noticed. She was in a panic, not understanding how the dead could come back to life!
She even changed her identity, but the problem is she's not the original owner of this body!
In her memory, Wang Chi was exceptionally kind to the original owner of this body. Everyone in the village knew how much Wang Chi doted on Song Jiaojiao. That's why so many people spread rumors about Song Jiaojiao's identity after she gave birth to Mu Xue following Wang Chi's military service. Even though they knew that Song Jiaojiao had never left the house, they still didn't let her off the hook.
