Chapter 567
The boss groped for a while, and finally found a sign of the cross before his fingers froze.

The cross mark is engraved on the place where the hull is close to the water surface, and it is difficult for ordinary people to observe. Even if they see it, most people will not take it to heart, thinking it is just a scratch or something.

But the boss was overjoyed. He swam to the position of the cross mark, took a deep breath and plunged down. After diving for about three feet, the boss saw a row of boxes at the bottom of the river, and his old face suddenly showed great excitement. Look, the dog planed all the way to the side of the box.

But the next scene made him a little bit troubled. Those boxes were still bound and fixed to the bottom of the river by chains. The boss tried to move a box, but it took a long time for the box to stay still. At this time, the boss The oxygen in the lungs was almost exhausted, so I had to put down what I was doing for the time being and float to the surface of the water to breathe.

While the boss was breathing in the fresh air greedily, his head was also spinning rapidly.

There is no doubt that the place below is a small treasury of the Qinghe Gang. It is impossible for someone as prudent as Jiang Zheng to put all his accumulation in one place for so many years, so the treasure chest is only a part of the treasure.

Jiang Zheng once inadvertently mentioned that he would knock the valuable and hot things looted into the box and sink them into the bottom of the river, because these things are invaluable but the owner behind them is very powerful. The risk of selling is very high, and the price is also kept very low. Jiang Zheng will store these things first, and then sell them after two or three years when the limelight has passed.

The boss was looking for this part of the treasure. He successfully found the treasure chest at the bottom of the river, but he didn't expect that there was an iron chain on the chest. The root of the chain was wrapped around a huge stone plate, and there was a keyhole on the stone plate. But even with his butt, he could guess that the key corresponding to the keyhole was in Jiang Zheng's hand.

The boss hated and was afraid of Jiang Zheng. Given the gap between him and Jiang Zheng, it was almost impossible to steal or rob him. He could only think of other ways, and sneaked back to the boat. An ax was found at the stern, and the boss sneezed while holding the ax, and plunged into the water again.

Because of the addition of the weight of the axe, the speed of the dive was significantly improved this time. The boss moved his wrists and ankles, raised the axe in his hand, and slashed down with all his strength.

As a result, under the buoyancy and buffer of the water flow, the shocking ax that the boss used with his breastfeeding strength looked like a slow-motion replay of an elderly dementia patient. The ax slowly chopped on the iron at a speed of 0 centimeters per second On the chain, there was not even a trace left in the end.

However, the boss himself had to surface again to take a breath because of the increased oxygen consumption caused by this violent underwater action. After some simple calculations, the boss finally realized a cruel reality. A year and a half of water grinding work from spring to autumn is probably hopeless, and this has not taken into account that the Qinghe gang will come to deliver him meals every day, and whether he will freeze to death after soaking in the water for so long.

After thinking about all this, the boss couldn't help but also started to feel anxious. He didn't have much time left. He didn't know the result of the fight between the otaku and Jiang Zheng on the other side. The Leping Village under the night was always very quiet. The Qinghe gang showed no signs of mobilizing manpower, which surprised the boss somewhat.

Not daring to waste time, after a short rest, the boss went underwater again. This time he circled the stone plate to find out if there was anything he could use, but the result disappointed him a lot. , the iron chain passes through the center of the stone plate, unless the entire stone plate is destroyed, the iron chain and the box cannot be carried away.

Wait... a box?The boss suddenly realized something, slapped his head, how could he be so stupid, there is no need to think about how to take the box away, anyway, his goal is only the things inside the box, the difficulty of breaking the chain is too high, all he needs to do is destroy the box Yes.

The box is just ordinary wood. Although it is painted with a layer of grease, it has shown signs of decay after soaking in water for a long time, so you can still try it.

The boss slashed up with an axe, and as expected, the ax easily fell into the box. Although it got stuck without going too far, this undoubtedly gave the boss a lot of encouragement. It should be a matter of time.

The boss was so shocked that even the cold on his body was temporarily thrown aside by him, he picked up the ax in his hand and started to work.

Slash—breathe—slash—breathe—…

This cycle goes on and on, the boss at this moment is like a hardworking bee. After a lot of hard work, he finally succeeded in splitting a small gap in the box. The boss immediately threw away the ax in his hand and couldn't wait. He reached into the gap and took out a small package of greased paper.

"Hahahaha~" The boss came out of the water holding the oiled paper bag, opened it, and found a jadeite cabbage and a snuff bottle inside, the value should be around 5000 taels of silver, even if it is sold on the black market, it can be sold for a thousand or so Two, he couldn't help laughing wildly up to the sky, of course he consciously controlled the volume to prevent the laughter from being heard by others.

Originally, he wanted to dive down and split another box, but after calculating the time, an hour and a half had passed, so the boss had no choice but to let go of this tempting idea.

Climbing on the boat, the previous excitement was almost gone, the boss started to tremble again when the wind blew, quickly took off the water jacket on his body, found a clean linen cloth to wipe his body, and put on his clothes again Only then did he feel a little better, but he was old after all, did he have internal energy to protect his body, the cold air had already invaded his body just now, it would be best if he could light a fire to drive away the cold air at this time, But it's a pity that on the Qinghe gang's territory, the boss didn't have the guts even if he wanted to.

After wiping it carelessly, the boss is ready to run away. With this small bag of things, as long as he finds a suitable buyer to exchange it for silver, it will be enough for him to squander for a while, even if he pays a little price for it, even a serious illness is worth it.

The boss suppressed the excitement in his heart, jumped onto the bank, and ran towards the gate of the village, but was taken aback when he reached the gate. The gate of Leping Village was actually open, and there was no guard at all.

The boss was startled, and suddenly had the feeling that Sima Yi saw Zhuge Liang.

What the hell is this?Where did the people in Lepingzhai go? No matter how many drunk people there were, it was impossible for no one to guard the gate. It was too strange that there was no one pretending to be there.

The more the boss thought about it, the more weird he felt. He never guessed that Jiang Zheng would shake hands with the "Mr. Wide open, this scene fell into the eyes of the boss, who only felt that the Qinghe gang seemed to have ulterior motives, and the open door also seemed full of murderous intent.
