Gong Qianyu frowned. Although he wanted to cross the bridge every day to find his wife, he thought that the project was too big and it was better not to tire his wife.

He nodded at the moment, "No need to cover it, you can just develop your own side. This Pearl City is not ours, so why bother."

"Okay." Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Not building the bridge would save time and effort.

Gong Qianyu said: "Let's go outside the city."

"Okay." Shui Ling nodded.

The two came outside the city, to the right side of the city, and found a cave near the rock mountain. The weeds at the entrance of the cave were very high, and no one had probably walked through it for a long time.

After entering the cave, Shui Ling took out a lamp for lighting. The outside was a little damp, but it became drier as we walked, and it was still diagonally going downwards.

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect there to be a natural cave here. Have you gone in and taken a look?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "No, I'll wait for you to come together."

Shui Ling smiled slightly, it felt so good to have someone who always took him into consideration.

The two held hands and walked deeper and deeper. It was a little damp when they reached the depths, but there were three forks here, so the two of them took the middle one first.

The road in the middle leads to the well, and you can hear the sound of water being drawn outside against the closed copper door.

The two of them went back to the original path and took the path on the left. At the end was a natural grotto, but there were actually several iron cages placed in the grotto.

There were human bones in the three iron cages. Looking at the bones in the cages, Shui Ling frowned and said, "They are women."

Gong Qianyu asked: "Is it another place where babies are bought and sold?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "I don't know, let's see what's at the other entrance."

The two returned the same way and went to another cave. There was an earth bed in the cave, and the bedding on the bed had begun to rot.

There was a bonfire next to it. There was a pot hanging on an iron frame on the bonfire. There were also white bones in the pot, chopped into pieces. I don't know what the bones were.

There were also a lot of bones piled up in the corners on the ground. Shui Ling put on his gloves and picked them up, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's not some cannibal maniac."

Gong Qianyu pondered for a moment and said: "It is rumored that a Taoist priest escaped when the temple was occupied by the government ten years ago. No matter what, I will ask someone to investigate."

Shui Ling looked at him and asked, "Do you suspect that the Taoist priest lives here?"

"When the government occupies the Taoist temple, is it a direct robbery? Do the people above not care about it?"

Gong Qianyu nodded, "The roads were not open at that time and we had to walk through mountain roads, so the news was not available and no one thought of filing a complaint."

Shui Ling was speechless, well, sometimes people are so bullied that they can't remember to resist. Fortunately, there is no resentment on these bones. It is estimated that the little soul left when he died, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"But it seems like no one has been here for a long time. Let's go out and have a look." She wanted to find the owner of the little paw she saw last time.

The two of them came out of the cave. Here they could see the sharp rock mountain on the opposite side, and the area between the two sides was very deep.

Shui Ling looked into the sea and saw a pair of small eyes...

"Wow...so cute."

Gong Qianyu lowered his head and saw the guy in the sea, and frowned, "Sea rat."

Shui Ling chuckled, "This is a sea otter, how cute it is."

She couldn't help but fish out a fat sea oyster from the space swimming pool and shook it. Unfortunately, the sea otter was very alert and did not come close even though it wanted to.

Shui Ling threw the oysters down and said, "Here you can eat, I still have some."

The sea otter plunged into the sea and quickly caught the oysters. He lay on the water, put the oysters on his chest, and then grabbed the stone he picked up at some point and started banging it.

Shui Ling looked up and saw Gong Qianyu looking at her. She asked, "You want to eat too?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head quickly, "No, I don't need it."

"Huh?" Shui Ling didn't think much about it. Isn't it necessary to eat anything, even if it's delicious?

The sea otter was not full after eating an oyster, so he flopped to the beach and stared at the water spirit with his little eyes.

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Let me touch it and feed it to you."

The sea otter climbed ashore and tilted his head to look.

Shui Ling wondered for a while, then took out a pile of oysters and gave it to it.

Gong Qianyu said: "Let's go back and take you to the restaurant in Pearl City to try it."

"Okay." Shui Ling nodded.

The two of them returned to Mingzhu City and came to Mingzhu Restaurant. I don't know who opened it. The facade was very impressive.

The plaque above is embedded with a circle of dove egg-sized pearls, which will glow at night.

When the two of them entered the door, a waiter wearing a cyan twill satin tight-sleeved dress came up to greet them.

"Please come inside, please. Do you two want a private room?"

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Gong Qianyu, asking with her eyes: "Can civilians wear silk?"

Gong Qianyu also responded with his eyes, "Let's talk later."

He said to the waiter: "Yajian'er."

"Okay, please come upstairs."

When you go upstairs, you can see several private rooms, and the waiter leads them inside.

Passing by an elegant room called Yulan, the door suddenly opened, and a girl wearing a bright moon gauze came out, with a cold face and a hint of anger.

Someone in the elegant room shouted: "Mu Shuangyue, don't be arrogant. If you don't marry my brother, then you will wait for your father to die in the pearl mine."

"To tell you the truth, there is a sea beast under the pearl mine, which often comes up to eat people. The real purpose of those absentee workers is not to fish for pearls, but to fill the belly of the sea beast so that it does not come up to harm the people."

Shui Ling looked at Gong Qianyu. Could it be that after he killed the big crab, there were other man-eating sea beasts?

Gong Qianyu was also very skeptical. Although he didn't know what was in the sea, the things that could eat people must be quite big.

He couldn't help but ask: "Girl, can you tell me what kind of sea beasts there are in the sea?"

Mu Shuangyue was stunned for a moment when she saw Gong Qianyu, and then she forced a smile when she looked at Shui Ling, who was holding Gong Qianyu's arm.

Shui Ling got out of the way and Mu Shuangyue left in a hurry.

The woman in the room said: "Who wants to ask this lady? Come in and talk."

Gong Qianyu wanted to go in, but was afraid that Shuiling would be unhappy, so he looked down at her.

Shui Ling shook his head and whispered: "There is a big crab, but it's dead. Is there anything else it looks like?"

As soon as Gong Qianyu heard this, he ignored the people in the room and took Shuiling to the side room inside.

After entering the door, you can see a screen with pine trees painted on it. Going around it is the large Eight Immortals table. Behind the table is a window, which allows you to see the scene facing the street.

The waiter asked: "What do you two need?"

Gong Qianyu said: "Let's have a portion of the signature dish, ginger tea."

"Okay, wait a moment, you two." The waiter immediately withdrew.

Gong Qianyu asked: "Did you kill that crab?"

Shui Ling nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Yes, except for that crab, I haven't seen any other ferocious beasts."

Gong Qianyu frowned, "Don't take risks in the future. No one cares about the civilians here wearing silk."

Shui Ling nodded obediently on the surface, but made a face in dissatisfaction in her heart.
