Chapter 1009: Finding the sunken cargo ship (7000 words)(2/3)

Is there any hot water in there?"

"Yes, I'll ask them to add more water and boil it more."

He really couldn't bear to take off his clothes. It was so comfortable to sit there. If there was no gain from this, then he was really asking for trouble.

Even though he was just on the verge of getting there, he didn't hesitate and decisively took off his cotton-padded clothes, trousers, sweaters, and even his autumn clothes. He only put on a pair of boxer shorts and did warm-up exercises over and over with his naked body.

Then he put on his mask and flippers, took a deep breath, and jumped decisively into the sea again.

His warm body was instantly invaded by the cold sea water, and a familiar feeling came to his heart again. He suppressed it, and after the initial intensity subsided, he felt comfortable afterwards.

It's just a little worse than being wrapped in a quilt on a boat. No wonder there are so many winter swimming enthusiasts, they probably just fall in love with this feeling.

The people on the two boats shivered when they saw him jumping into the sea naked, but the expressions on their faces were still full of admiration.

"Ah Dong deserves to be rich...how cruel to jump like that..."

"He has jumped several times..."

"It's good to be young..."

The people on the boat were chatting and waiting, and he quickly adapted to the situation underwater, and then slowly dived down, with the reef right in front of him.

But at this time, the sky was gray with thick clouds, the sky was not that bright, and even the light reflected in the sea was gray, with visibility less than three meters.

But it also allows him to avoid hitting the reef.

He swam down carefully, and after a while he looked down with eyes filled with surprise.

He discovered it only two minutes into the dive. When he saw the tilted bow of the ship, he felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and his whole body was filled with energy.

It was great to find the boat, and it was not worth enduring the cold water and jumping into the water again and again.

He approached slowly, ignoring the small fish and shrimp swimming around, and then circled around the fishing boat for a short while before he discovered it.

This boat is stuck between two reefs protruding from the bottom of the sea. It is stuck just right, so the stern is facing down, the bow is tilting upward, and the bottom of the boat is hollow and leaky.

It can be stuck, and its support depends entirely on the reefs on both sides. The reefs on both sides are like a line of sky, but they are wider than a line of sky.

He thought that it would probably not take long. Due to the tilt angle and the fluctuation of the waves, the ship would continue to sink to the bottom of the sea, and then sink heavily to the bottom of the sea. Like many sunken ships, it would never see the light of day.

It has only been two days since the ship sank, and the sea water is buoyant and can still hold it, preventing the ship from falling directly.

It wasn't long before he entered the water, and he didn't feel any discomfort. He also wanted to make a quick decision, so he directly aimed at the position of the fishing boat and swam slowly over.

Not only does the bow of this fishing boat tilt upward, but the sides of the boat are also tilted. When he swings his flippers closer, people don't have to stand on the boat.

The ship was empty, nothing was left, everything that could have fallen into the sea fell into the sea, and only the machines were fixed and locked on the deck, so they were still there.

The structure of every ship is similar. The cabin and cockpit are basically near the stern of the ship. He is familiar with the way and directly touches the cabin door.

There was no lock on the cabin door, but the iron handle held the latch there and was easily unlocked.

However, he did not dare to open the door directly. He was afraid that the goods inside were different from the boxes piled on the deck before and had no buoyancy. Once he opened the hatch, they would all roll out and sink to the bottom of the sea.

Then there was nothing he could do. He didn't know how many meters deep it was, and he was almost at the limit at this position. He had to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.

He is not afraid of buoyancy. Once the hatch is opened, all the boxes will float up. Anyway, there are two ships on the sea. If his father sees any boxes floating up, he will definitely ask everyone to follow them and salvage them.

He held the iron handle in his hand and struggled for a while, whether to float up first or open it directly. He hesitated for a while, but there was no other way.

It's not that convenient to move around underwater, let alone trying to stop the items in the cabin from rolling out. As soon as he opens it and the items inside roll out, he has to be pushed away every minute.

Moreover, because the ship tilted, rocked, and fell, the cargo inside must have been messed up. What could probably be pressed against the back of the hatch was probably stuck at the back. If it was opened, it would definitely roll out, and there was nothing that could be done to stop it.

It was just a momentary thought, and after thinking about it, he decided hard, gritted his teeth, and directly pulled back the iron plate in his hand.

Before he could react, the boxes leaning against the hatch immediately rolled out, and the others were also knocked back by the hatch.

One box after another, they rolled out like dumplings, and then slowly floated up again.

Ye Yaodong was overjoyed, as long as it didn't sink, it didn't matter what was in it, as long as it could float, let them catch as much as they could by luck.

He immediately swung his flippers and followed the boxes that were floating one by one as they were washed by the waves. Regardless of whether they were still floating out of the cabin, they would eventually float up.

Father Ye stretched his neck and stared into the water, fearing that something might happen to his third son. The cold sea water in early spring is not a joke. If one of your legs gets cramped or your blood pressure rises, and you can't move, it will be a big deal.

Finished.

Father Pei was also comforting him, "Dongzi, he is already familiar with the road, and it is not the first time he has gone into the water. There is nothing to worry about. Haven't you been in the water many times before? If there is anything wrong, you must go straight to it."

It’s coming up, and it’s probably still exploring underneath, so let’s just wait here with peace of mind.”

Father Ye had no desire to speak and just nodded.

The boatmen were also curious, chatting among each other on the deck, and waiting there.

His trip down this time took longer than the previous trips into the water. Many people thought he should go down as usual and come back up again after a few minutes.

Everyone looked at the sea. Unexpectedly, they saw no one. Instead, they saw boxes suddenly floating on the sea.

And they floated up one after another, some floating far away, some right next to each other, some far away and some close, and they were moving precariously with the waves.

"Box! There is a box!"

"Look! There is a box..."

"There are many boxes..."

"Ye Laosan, Ye Laosan, there are many boxes..."

"In-laws, Dong Zi must have done this!" Father Pei's eyes widened in surprise, and then he shouted excitedly, "Quickly, salvage it quickly, this is similar to the box that floated out that night when the cargo ship sank.

It must have been opened by Dongzi..."

There was a splashing sound, and Ye Yaodong also surfaced. He immediately took off the air tube on his face and shouted to his father, "Hurry up and salvage, don't float away!"

Father Ye quickly reacted from his surprise and shouted to the boatman on the boat, "Hurry up and get the bamboo poles and fishing nets, hooks that can hook, nets that can net... Don't let go of any floating box, start with

Hurry and fish if you are close..."

No one waited for him to say anything. As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, everyone started to move.

He himself immediately took a bamboo pole that was always available on the boat, one end of which was specially tied with a hook.

Father Pei hesitated for a moment, and then quickly called the boatmen to salvage it, lest it really floated away, which would be a pity.

Ye Yaodong saw that the people on both boats were moving. He slowly swam towards the fishing boat, and then slowly climbed up. There were more boxes on the sea.

The quick-footed man had already fished a box up, threw it on the deck, and then turned around to fish it out again.

He was naked, with his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, "You try to catch as many as you can, and try not to let anyone go. If something good comes out of the box, I will give each of you a red envelope."

The best way to treat employees is to give out red envelopes. Ye Yaodong is not a picky person. As long as he can make a lot of money and get big benefits, people around him will definitely not treat him badly.

In addition, being a boatman is hard work. Everyone is working hard for him. While he is benefiting, he cannot leave others behind.

If these boxes are all canned fish and caviar, then he will really make a fortune, no matter how bad he is, he can't be worse than these things.

The boatmen instantly felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They were happier and worked harder. Who doesn’t love money?

Although doing these things at sea is what they should do, but with extra red envelopes, everyone's enthusiasm will of course be greatly improved.

While Ye Yaodong was breathing heavily, one box after another floated up, all rolling out from the opened hatch below.

At a glance, there are boxes floating everywhere on the sea, and almost everyone on the boat has salvaged the boxes and is still working hard to salvage them.

The boxes looked like tofu soaked in oil.

He smiled a little funny, feeling the sea breeze blowing over and feeling a bit colder. After sneezing three times, he quickly put on his cotton-padded jacket and felt relieved. He immediately went to get hot water and prepared to warm himself up again.

Take a bath and come back to help.

Anyway, there were so many people salvaging, and he had to take care of himself first even though he went into the water many times.

Even the Harvest ship next door was also salvaging there at the same time, and I didn’t know what regulations to get for a while?

Is this considered public or personal? Moreover, it took him a long time to find the position and he kept going into the water. It was also he who took the risk to go into the sea and open the hatch.

As he bathed, he thought about it. It was impossible for the Harvest to swallow up the fruits of his labor.

Later we have to adapt to the situation and discuss how to divide the goods on the Harvest. It will not work if we don't give them. Those who meet will have a share, and they will also help.

His thoughts spread out and he continued to wash himself.

After his body warmed up again, he put on his clothes and hurried out to help.

A dozen boxes have been fished out on the deck, and the places nearby are already out of reach. Seeing him getting dressed and coming out of the cabin, Ye's father quickly called him to the cockpit and sailed toward the floating boxes on the sea ahead.

The box should be closer to make it easier for them to salvage it.

It just so happened that he spent too much energy underwater, so he didn't need to do this kind of work. He could just sit in the cockpit and help steer the boat.

After Ye Yaodong responded, he picked up the anchor that had been lowered into the sea, then looked at the direction, returned to the cockpit, and drove towards the boxes scattered in front.

Everyone was busy fishing there, and did not look to see if boxes were still floating on the sea. They only noticed that the boxes were being washed away by the waves and blown by the sea breeze, drifting further and further away.

The Harvest was more anxious than they were, and had already started the boat and moved forward for a short distance to retrieve the box.

The two boats were like racing. The boatmen on his boat all took off their cotton-padded jackets to avoid being unable to move, and everyone was very active.

On the contrary, Harvest's enthusiasm for salvaging is relatively low.

After Ye Yaodong drove forward for a while, he immediately stopped the boat and went down to the deck to help.
