When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Hearing this voice, Su Qing was startled and quickly focused her attention on looking at the ice hole. At the same time, she concentrated her attention on listening carefully to the sound outside the ice hole. There were at least two men outside the ice hole.

"Third brother, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? You idiot, are you afraid that the police can't catch us?" a man's voice said viciously. Su Qing couldn't see the two men's faces, she could only hear their voices. The man who was speaking had a very low voice, and he was obviously suppressing his voice. But even though the man was suppressing his voice, Su Qing still heard a hint of familiarity in it, but Su Qing couldn't think of where she had heard this voice before.

"Brother, this is the only relic my father left me. He told me to wear it with me at all times. But now it's gone. I've looked everywhere but couldn't find it. I figured it must have fallen into the river. I have to go down and take a look. Brother, let me go in the water and take a look. If I can't find it, I'll come up right away, okay?" The speaker was a younger man with some anxiety in his voice. It was obvious that the thing was very important to him.

"Are you tired of living? Don't you know how cold the water is in the winter? You ran down there in the middle of the night. Are you sure you won't freeze to death in the water? What's more, you're not sure if your stuff really fell here." The man called the second brother warned in a low voice: "Besides, if you freeze to death in the river, it doesn't matter. But don't implicate us. If the Gongan finds us because of you, we'll tear you into pieces."

"I... my second brother..." The younger man seemed a little hesitant and unwilling, but after being scolded by the second brother, he stopped.

Then, Su Qing could no longer hear the voices of those two people, and thought that they must have left the puddle.

Su Qing narrowed her eyes and looked at the hole in the ice. She suddenly understood something. No wonder the female corpse was swollen, while the hole in the ice looked like it had just been dug. It turned out that the man who killed the girl had returned and wanted to look for something in the water.

Could it be that the young man’s things really fell into the water?

Su Qing withdrew from the perspective of the water plants and began to look around. The visibility in the water at night was too low, and Su Qing could not see everything clearly. She simply groped slowly under the water. After all, the sea was still deep at night, and she was protected by the green mist. The cold air in the river water could not hurt her, and it could support her to hold her breath for a long time underwater. Therefore, Su Qing planned to look carefully under the water.

So Su Qing began to search around in the water.

About half an hour later, Su Qing found something. It was a thin stone tablet about two fingers wide, polished with stone. There were simple patterns carved on the stone tablet. There was a hole on the top of the stone tablet, and a thin hemp rope was passed through it.

Su Qing thought about it, took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on, then picked up the hemp rope of the stone tablet, took out a handkerchief and quickly wrapped the stone tablet, and then put it in the space.

After wandering around in the water for another round, Su Qing didn't find anything else, so she swam farther away and ran to the water a hundred meters away from the big ice hole to pull out some black fish and silver carp. Then she got out of the water quietly, avoided the two guards on duty, and returned home without anyone noticing.

When she returned home, Su Qing saw Cheng Beilin sleeping soundly, so she quickly changed her clothes and quietly went to bed.

The next day, when Cheng Beilin saw two big black fish swimming in the water bucket at home after getting up, she shouted in surprise: "Oh my God, Su Qing, when did you go to catch the fish? Why didn't you call me?"

Su Qing took breakfast out of the kitchen with a smile and said to Cheng Beilin, "I pushed you this morning, but you were sleeping like a pig and I couldn't wake you up. I thought you might still have some trauma from the puddle, so I went to the puddle by myself. The ice hole we dug the day before yesterday can still be used, so I simply caught two black fish. Don't you like braised black fish?"

"I've recovered." Although Cheng Beilin was still a little worried, she was stubborn. When she saw the black fish, her eyes sparkled again: "Su Qing, the black fish here is so delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious black fish in Xiangcheng. How do your black fish grow? Why are they so delicious?"

Su Qing smiled and said, "This black fish is wild black fish from the puddles here. It is naturally raised here. The water quality here is good, so the meat is naturally delicious. And, as you know, local water and soil nurture local people. The same black fish is in your Xiangcheng, but because of the different water quality, the taste of the cooked black fish is naturally different. So, you will naturally feel that the taste is slightly inferior when you eat it."

"Sure enough." Cheng Beilin nodded and said, "I told you, you really can't eat such delicious black fish in Xiangcheng."

"When you go back, I'll catch some more black fish and make them into smoked fish. It tastes good too. When you want to eat it, just ask the chef at home to make it for you." Su Qing smiled and said, "However, this smoked fish can only be stored for three months at most. Don't keep it for too long."

"Don't worry, I have a bunch of foodies at home, I guarantee it won't last more than three months." Cheng Beilin was in a very good mood knowing that she could eat black fish when she returned to Xiangcheng. However, because Cheng Beilin was more or less uneasy about the death in Shuiwazi, she did not clamor to go to Shuiwazi for the next two days, but instead decided to go to the county town with Su Qing.

"Su Qing, let's go to the county town and take a look at the supply and marketing cooperatives here." Cheng Beilin was curious about everything here.

"Okay." Cheng Beilin's suggestion hit Su Qing's mark. She was thinking about finding an opportunity to give the stone tablet to the county government. Maybe the stone tablet was left by the criminal and it could be a useful clue.

It just so happened that Old Man Sun was also going to the county town today, so Su Qing and Cheng Beilin took Old Man Sun’s ox cart and went to Xiyuan County together.

Su Qing looked at Cheng Beilin who was excitedly wandering around the supply and marketing cooperative, and felt deeply that at this moment Cheng Beilin was just like a little mouse that fell into a rice jar. He was really... too excited.

"Oh my god, Su Qing, the things here are so cheap! How can they be so cheap?"

“These snacks are only a few cents per pound!”

"This pair of little leather shoes is pretty, and they only cost a dozen dollars!"

"Ah, a watch is only over 700 yuan? Oh my god, it's a Rolex! How can it be so cheap?"
