Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Gao Haoming, the short-bearded man, was heard teasing in front of him, but Xu Wenli didn't even look at him and just rolled his eyes.

The door hinge made a familiar creaking sound, and he pulled the door shut, shutting out the obscene words inside.

It didn't get out.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. If you really like her, as a brother, I will definitely support you."

Gao Haoming pursed his lips to suppress his smile.

"Do you really think I'm obsessed with sex?"

Xu Wenli glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer.

"Not really! It's just that your reaction is a little abnormal."

Gao Haoming pondered for a moment. He had been a chaste man for more than 30 years, but he was suddenly curious about a young lady.

Anyone who sees this will find it unusual.

"Get lost, do you really think I'm some frivolous person who can't even walk when he sees a young lady? Can't you just use your pig brain?

Ping'an Town was born by the sea and has lived off it since ancient times. I heard that the people here can swim from the womb, and their underwater skills are truly amazing. Since that young lady is known as the best swimmer in Ping'an Town, she must have some extraordinary qualities.

Gao Haoming, however, didn't take it seriously, thinking that those people were just exaggerating.

"She's just a cook who knows how to cook. Is she worth your attention?"

"Idiot!" Even a good-tempered person like Xu Wenli couldn't help but curse.

She signaled with her eyes, asking him to call out the two foreign devils who were snoring by the window.

Then he whispered cautiously, "The previous dynasty mobilized ships from Fujian and Zhejiang to transport gold ingots northward, but one of them sank at Guiya Reef, and both the ship and the gold were lost.

At that time, we sent several groups of water ghosts to search for the boat, but they were either swept away by the undercurrent or couldn't find the boat's location. Later, the tide signal was disturbed, so the matter was put on hold.

Gao Haoming's eyes widened in surprise: "Could it be that... those gold ingots are still down there?"

Xu Wenli closed his eyes and nodded.

"But that damned place called Ghost Tooth Reef has many whirlpools and strong undercurrents. Ships can easily run aground when passing through it. It's not an easy place to go."

Xu Wenli sneered, "It's because I can't go that I need to test that young lady's abilities. Otherwise, why would I bother with all this effort?"

As Xu Wenli spoke, he leaned against the window and watched what was happening on the dock.

At that time, Ah Da was selling his catch when he noticed a pair of eyes watching him.

He looked up and waved hello.

Xu Wenli smiled subconsciously.

"A few months ago, a fisherman saw a golden glint in the cracks of the reef at low tide. It's most likely the gold ingots that have been dispersed by the tide, leaving only a few exposed. If we delay any longer, it will be even harder to find them."

Gao Haoming, who was sitting behind him, was full of confusion and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Our caravan is now quite wealthy, considered the leading merchant company in the North. Why would we go to such great lengths to value that long-lost shipload of gold ingots? While the quantity is certainly substantial, it's not worth mobilizing so many troops just for them."

Xu Wenwenli slowly turned his head and looked at Gao Haoming's stupid and naive appearance, and sighed helplessly.

"You don't know the reason behind this. The truly crucial item on that gold ship isn't the gold ingots, but another rare treasure. This treasure is related to the secrets of the imperial court. If we can recover it and present it to the master, it will help him gain a firm foothold in the court and bring him great benefits."

After hearing this, Gao Haoming's face showed a look of enlightenment.

"I said, you are not a person who loves money."

Speaking of his master, Gao Haoming's nonchalant look became a little more restrained.

"But we haven't even seen anyone, so how can we go fishing?"

Gao Haoming remembered that kid was talking very eloquently in the restaurant just now.

He was almost so angry that he couldn't speak.

"No rush! We'll meet someday. After the restaurant closes, she'll bring some of her brothers and sisters back to the island. We can just wait at the pier and we'll definitely run into each other."

Xu Wenli had sharp ears and heard more than just the gossip of others.

"Send the order down. Instruct Manager Wu to quickly inventory the supplies. Instruct Chen Congshi to lead a survey of the surrounding terrain. Instruct the warriors to be more alert and protect the cargo on the ship. We will then wait patiently for the beauty to appear..."
