Chapter 278 Entertaining Guests Tomorrow

try again.

After saying this, everyone fell silent.

If I make another mistake, I'm afraid the second floor will also be flooded...

Even Li Li, who was originally determined, could not help but hesitate and did not dare to make a decision easily.

Talking and laughing, he was a little confused. Looking at everyone's faces with different expressions, he asked: "What's going on? Haven't we already found the beads? Why are you all looking like this?"

Li Li said irritably: "Aren't you worried that you made a mistake..."

"How could it be wrong?" Tanxiao opened his eyes in confusion, "If it's not beads, what else could it be?"

Everyone looked at each other.

yes……

If not beads, what else could they be?

This house has been searched by them countless times inside and out! Except for the boat taken out of the whale doll, there is nothing that can be called treasure.

These shining beads are their only hope right now!

Shen Mo thought for a moment and said: "Just in case, move the things that are needed on the second floor to the attic first. If the second floor is flooded, the things here will not be used."

Teacher Cheng said: "Bring up the books you haven't finished yet!"

Shen Mo nodded.

Maybe there are other clues hidden in the remaining books.

Everyone cheered up and moved the things on the second floor to the attic. Some people moved books, and some moved mattresses and pillows.

During this period, Zhu Shu went into the water once and found a bead.

She took a short rest and went into the water for the second time to look for beads, but she was no longer lucky and found nothing.

As for the attic, 10 people squeezed in, adding books and bedding for household use. It was so packed that even the air became stuffy.

Lu Ang was strong and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he asked Tanxiao to open the window.

There is only one small window in the attic.

The buckle was rusty, so Tanxiao pushed hard twice before pushing the window open.

The salty wind blew in with the rain, bringing in fresh air and making the floor by the window wet.

Talking and laughing, he stuck his head out the window and looked out - as far as he could see, there was only endless water. All the hillsides and woods are gone, and the house is like an island in the ocean, facing the risk of being submerged by the tide at any time.

He sighed and pulled back his head, saying: "The window is so small, if this place gets flooded, we won't even be able to get out."

"Then let's fight it!" Lu Ang said rudely, "There are ten of us. Think of a way, can't we kill a fish?!"

"It has rough skin and thick flesh. How can we do it?" Tanxiao was distressed, "We don't even have weapons."

The only fruit knife fell into the water while rescuing Lu Ang.

Shen Mo heard this and said calmly: "The fruit knife should be near the stairs. It's not difficult to find it, but we still need to confirm the beads."

Including the one Zhu Shu found just now, they have a total of 33.

But are there only 33 beads?

If a few beads are missing when giving them to a guest, will the guest go berserk?

Yan Qingwen said: "Let's check again one last time. This time we go down one by one. The beads are too small. When swimming underwater, the water waves caused will cause the beads to shift. Please be gentle when searching."

Except for Lu Ang and Li Li who were injured, and Teacher Cheng and Bai Youwei who couldn't swim, the other six people all went to the second floor.

Even Xiaoxin went down.

Everyone took turns going into the water to find beads.

Before I knew it...another two hours had passed.

It's three o'clock in the morning and everyone is extremely tired.

They dragged their wet and cold bodies back to the attic and put together all the beads they could find——

"Everyone rest where they are, and we will entertain guests tomorrow." Yan Qingwen made the final decision.

I have shelf syndrome. The more nervous I am, the less I can write, and my mind goes blank...I decided to lie down and wait to die...
