5. Treasure chest in Shenbao Lake

It was cold in the early spring, and Auerbach sent Qin Shiou back to the hotel. In the bathroom, Qin Shiou adjusted the water temperature and lay in the spacious bathtub to explore the strange changes in his eyes.

First, he was sure that the heart of the sea god had disappeared, and at this moment only a circle of red ropes remained on his neck; in addition, after several experiments, he found that the previous scene was not his illusion, and he could indeed control the underwater movements of Chenbao Lake...

He could see everything in the lake from the surface of the water to the bottom, just as his consciousness could enter the water and control the movements of more than a hundred cubic meters in the water.

With his body soaked in a warm bathtub, Qin Shiou's consciousness went to Chenbao Lake. Within the control of his consciousness, the water was transparent. No matter how deep the sunlight was, even at the dim bottom of the lake, it was as bright as daytime in his consciousness!

Chenbao Lake is an ordinary inland lake. The bottom of the lake near the water is snow-white and delicate sand. Occasionally, small grass carp or small carp are happily drilling into the sand and mud. When they drill out, they will bring up some algae sediments and swallow them.

This made Qin Shiou very curious. As an ocean enthusiast, he could see the identities of these small fish at a glance, with black back and white belly, thick and short body, and this omnivorous small fish should be the grass carp and carp that he was very common in the reservoir ponds of his hometown when he was a child.

There are also traditional Chinese freshwater fish in Canada? Qin Shiou is a little puzzled.

Consciousness shifts from shallow beaches to deep waters, and some fish with slightly larger bodies appear, but they are mainly grass carp, carp or black fish.

Some carp and grass carp are more than one meter long. They move fiercely and powerfully, and their postures are arrogant and arrogant. They are simply the overlords in Chenbao Lake.

A ball of aquatic plants trembled, and Qin Shiou's consciousness shifted. At this time, two small loaches about twenty centimeters drilled out from under the aquatic plants.

He looked at it and found that the little loaches were gray-yellow and covered with black spots, which looked very similar to the black spotted loach he had seen in the Marine Museum before. The black spotted loach is a common freshwater fish in North America, so he had some impression of this.

Two black-spotted loaches opened their mouths and tried to find the seeds of water plants to eat. As a result, a carp with an adult's arm length rushed over, and opened their mouths and ate the balls of water algae.

The black-spotted loach was frightened and escaped. The carp ate the aquatic plants, and then shook its head and tail proudly wandered around.

It’s very interesting that Qin Shiou felt the anger from these two black-spotted loaches.

The angry little loach? Qin Shiou couldn't help but feel happy.

As his consciousness continued to wander, he saw white pikes in the lakes, Baikal small white stripes, raspberry bass and black bass in North America, but the most common ones were carp, grass carp, etc., and the latter was also the ones that grew larger.

Although the world in the lake is not as rich and colorful as the land, it is also colorful. His consciousness only transited a small part of the lake, but he had seen dozens of species of fish, most of which he did not recognize, let alone those strange-shaped aquatic plants.

Qin Shiou always thought that the species of freshwater fish were very single, and he had gained some knowledge in Chenbao Lake. It turned out that freshwater fish were also colorful and colorful. Unfortunately, he had paid special attention to fish before, but now he didn't know the fish he met.

It took more than two hours to transfer consciousness to Chenbao Lake. Qin Shiou changed the water four times. Finally, he moved to the bed and huddled in the bedding to continue exploring the lake. He felt a little tired, so he planned to withdraw his consciousness and take a break.

At this moment, a big carp that was more than half a meter long suddenly rushed out, chasing a colorful salmon with a bright color. The colorful salmon was extremely angry for some reason and grinned and chased after him.

The carp was chased too quickly and had nowhere to escape, so it crashed into the bottom of the lake, probably because it wanted to get into the thick mud to hide. As a result, it hit the mud, and a large hole about three or four meters square was suddenly collapsed at the bottom of the lake.

The colorful salmon followed closely behind, and the carp fled to the distance. Qin Shiou saw the big hole at the bottom of the lake and was a little curious, so he stumbled into it and took a look.

This glance made his heart jump excitedly because he suddenly saw two oak boxes piled up in the mud hole at the bottom of the lake.

The two oak boxes are one large and one small, both in the shape of a cube. The large one is about one and a half meters long, width and height, while the small one is about eighty centimeters. The two wooden boxes are simple in style and are firmly confined by iron chains, which easily reminds people of the legendary treasure chest.

The location of the oak box is almost in the middle of the bottom of the lake. Qin Shiou estimated that the center of Chenbao Lake must be more than 80 meters deep. In this weather, it is estimated that it must be a professional salvage team.

This made Qin Shiou very depressed. Where can he have money to hire a salvage team now? Even if he paid for the money, can there be a professional salvage team in the desolate farewell town?

It would be great if his consciousness could lift the treasure chest up, Qin Shiou thought regretfully.

As a result, after he had this idea, the lake water around the oak box suddenly began to rush, and then under the impact of the water flow and the strong water pressure, he lifted the box up!

Qin Shiou was shocked!

His mind trembled and his consciousness was distracted. The floating box fell to the bottom of the lake again, stirring the mud and sand to make the puddles extremely confused.

Taking a few deep breaths, Qin Shiou calmed down. After that, he once again developed the awareness of holding up the box, and the two boxes slowly floated slowly again.

It's just that it's very difficult to control the water flow and float the box. Compared to previous consciousness, it's simply incomparable to wandering in the lake.

The box was only about ten meters high, and Qin Shiou was so tired that he could not bear it. In this way, the oak box fell into the lake again.

The treasure chest was so close that he could not get it, but the feeling that he could not get it really made Qin Shiou crazy. Later, he thought of a solution. After he rested for a while, when his physical strength recovered, he let his consciousness control the direction of the water flow and rolled the treasure chest toward the shallow water shore.

This way, he saves more effort.

Hiding the treasure chest on the shore, Qin Shiou put on his clothes and ran out of the hotel. He saw that the hotel owner had a Ford pickup truck parked in front of the door, and said, "Man, that's right, my grandfather's fishing ground has something to deal with. Can you lend your truck to use it? Well, I will fill you up the gas."

The chubby white boss laughed and said, "Qin, your grandfather is a great man. I admire him very much. For his sake, you can use the car as you want. Of course, if you fill me with gas, it would be even better."

Auerbach has introduced Qin Shiou's identity. After the boss heard that he was Qin Hongde's grandson, he also gave him a 20% discount on the room fee.

It was already afternoon, and the town began to become lively. However, Chenbao Lake was located five kilometers away from the town, and the surrounding area was still very quiet and lonely, which made Qin Shiou easy to start.

While there was no one around, Qin Shiou used his consciousness to control the water flow and pushed the two oak boxes to the shore, and then moved them to the carriage.

After putting the oak box, Qin Shiou drove directly to the Daqin Fishery. There were many houses in the fishery. Qin Shiou found a two-story maple building. Auerbach said that this was his grandfather's residence during his lifetime. Two maple trees next to the small building were planted by his grandfather when he first came to this fishery.

After going upstairs, Qin Shiou opened the small box, and the iron chains wrapped around it had peeled off in the water. There was a hammer in the small building, and he smashed it open in an instant.

After the box was smashed open, Qin Shiou's eyes lit up because it was a roll of paintings sealed with plastic bags!
