Chapter 1221 Notice
There was no way to communicate underwater, so both of them dodged separately.
The whale's mouth is like a jet, and the things it sprays out are like pear blossom needles in a rainstorm, scattering into the water.
What came out of its mouth were not only long strips, but also small iron boxes, iron barrels, and some sawdust. From behind, more fish and seawater were sprayed out, densely packed like a storm.
The fish that were ejected were confused and confused in the surrounding water, and they collided with each other. Some actually hit them, and then quickly dodge in fear.
After Ye Yaodong waited for the surrounding fish to scurry away, he curiously swung his flippers toward some long floating things nearby, and then caught one at random.
He ignored the surprise in his hands and looked down again. He was heartbroken that some of the iron boxes and iron barrels were floating in the sea, thinking that they would sink into the water.
Unexpectedly, it was washed by the waves in the sea and slowly floated upwards. However, the floating speed was slower, which was not as good as that of the long outer film packaging.
Chen Shi also grabbed one in his hand. He also thought that the iron boxes were going to sink to the bottom of the water, and he was rushing towards the bottom of the water. He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
Fortunately, as soon as he pounced under the water, he saw the iron boxes slowly floating upward due to the waves under the water, and he stopped plunging down.
As soon as Ye Yaodong swam to him and wanted to give him a signal to float up, he saw the big whale swaying after vomiting and then diving underwater. Passing by.
He didn't know what kind of whale it was. There were so many marine species, and the same fish had different subdivisions. Anyway, it looked like a whale.
However, whales generally take a big gulp of food, roll it into their stomachs like a tornado, and swallow it directly. Except for toothed whales and killer whales, they hunt through their teeth.
He estimated that this whale must have sucked a few boxes from the sunken ship into its stomach. It found that the things in the entrance were not right, and after biting them, it vomited them all up.
Even though this whale was hungry, he didn't take them seriously. He scurried past them and went to the bottom of the water.
But Chen Shi just froze there, not daring to move.
After the whale swam away, he looked at Ye Yaodong excitedly, and then made up and down gestures.
At first glance, you can tell that he is asking whether he should go straight up or go up.
Originally, Ye Yaodong grabbed one in his hand and thought about going straight up and telling his father to let him salvage quickly when he saw something floating up. But now he saw the whale rushing down, and he also thought about whether to go back again. Go down and have a look.
Anyway, here we come.
As long as his father is not stupid, he will definitely fish for something floating when he sees it. He does not need to remind him at all, not to mention that it is obvious that it is a good thing at a glance, and he would be a fool not to fish for it.
He was already in the water anyway, so he could only descend a few more meters, which was better than waiting to go up and then come down again.
After thinking about it, he made a downward gesture to Chen Shi, and then swam down first.
However, there were hundreds of meters deep below, and they could only go down to a dozen meters at most.
When they reached the point where they could go no further, they found nothing. There was only water around them and small fish and shrimps swimming around, so they had no choice but to float up.
At least this trip was not in vain.
This seabed is truly unfathomable.
The two made gestures and swam towards the surface of the water one after another.
When they rushed out of the water, Father Ye and several crew members were holding hand nets, and they almost hit their heads.
"I was shocked..."
"You also shocked me, the water suddenly appeared..."
Father Ye smiled happily and said excitedly: "Dongzi, did you find the sunken ship underneath? Did you bring up the smoke?"
"You must be so lucky. You can still find this ship even if it sinks into the sea. Isn't the bottom of the sea not very deep?"
"It's impossible. If this was shallow, our fishing net would have been stuck at the bottom..."
While Ye Yaodong was still soaking in the water, his father was already talking excitedly.
He didn't have time to reply at the moment, so he stretched out his hand and waited for his father to pull him up. Then he threw away the cigarette he had been holding and wiped the seawater from his face.
"I'm lucky, but you think too highly of me..."
"Did you bring it all up? Then why did all this smoke float up all of a sudden? Not long after you entered the water, luckily I saw it. They were all lowering their heads to grab the fish..."
Chen Laoqi said with a smile as he fished it out: "We thought the sea was very deep. A Dong could only walk around for a while when he went down to the water. We really didn't expect that there would be cigarettes."
"Yeah, I thought I wouldn't gain anything, so I just kept my head down and worked hard..."
"The boat just now was actually filled with cigarettes. This is too generous..."
"How much does that ship cost? Dongzi just said it was worth millions, and he was really right. What a pity, my God..."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "Just the ones that floated up cannot represent the whole ship. How could the whole ship be filled with cigarettes? Didn't we see it before? The walls and decks of those ships were covered with thick raincloths. If they were all cigarettes, If so, is that okay?”
my country's tobacco supports 90% of the People's Liberation Army's military expenditures.
With such a large quantity of cigarettes, even 10 shootings would not be enough.
He thinks it only accounts for a small part. After all, small household appliances are still the most popular these days, and demand exceeds supply.
Father Ye thought about it and felt that it made sense. The goods that these smugglers carry in a whole ship should basically have everything. It shouldn't be so simple.
"That's right. If it's a whole ship, it would be terrible."
"These cigarettes were not brought up by me. We just went down and saw a super big whale. No wonder we were dumbfounded. We saw it open its mouth and spray out a bunch of cigarettes packaged in various shapes. There were also a lot of fish and wood sticks behind it."
Chen Shi also said quickly: "It scared me to death... It just swam past... It was bigger than me... I thought it was going to eat me."
Ye Yaodong said: "Generally, it won't eat people. If you are next to it when it is hunting, it is very likely that you will be swallowed directly into its stomach."
"It has already... vomited, and I am worried that it will open its mouth again and eat... in."
Everyone was surprised when they heard what they said. They didn't expect that it was vomited by the whale.
"Whales can also swallow things from the sunken ship?" Father Ye was a little surprised.
"It's possible that the fishing boat sank, or it may have capsized due to too much cargo when it sank, and a small part of it was washed away by the waves, or it may have floated out from under the awning because the fishing boat tipped over, and it was swallowed by the whale that was preying on it."
How else can we explain the whale's mouth spewing a bunch of cigarette sawdust and a large number of fish.
It must have been ingested by mistake, and then it vomited out because it felt the taste was not right.
Then there was the scene they saw when they just got into the water.
"That makes sense, I'll go and drive the boat to move it, some of it has drifted far away and can't be reached, don't waste it. Wait until I come back..."
"Forget it...Chen Laoqi, you go and drive the boat...just move it over there, try to catch as much as you can..."
"Don't waste it, this cigarette is precious, you have to catch it when you see it."
Father Ye thought about it and still wanted to listen to Ye Yaodong's story, so he sent Chen Laoqi to drive the boat.
Then he asked, "What about you guys? Did you guys go into the water? It took you a while to get these things up."
"Yes, I went down to take a look, but I couldn't go very deep, and I didn't see anything, so I had to come up first."
"I said it was very deep down there, and it was an accident that the smoke was sprayed out by the whale. Normally it should have sunk directly to the bottom, but it's hundreds of meters deep, how could it be reached."
Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "I knew you kept urging me to go down."
Father Ye smiled innocently, "Isn't it because you are very skilled in diving? You have been in the water a lot in the past two years, so I'm not that worried. Don't you also want to take a look before giving up?"
"Brother Dongdong ...That whale, if it goes down again, will it...spray again?"
"You're not that lucky, right? Let's fish out the ones on the sea first."
Father Ye picked up another iron box from his hand, "What are these cigarettes? Can you understand them?"
"You think too highly of me, Dad. Your son has just gotten rid of illiteracy, and you want me to understand foreign languages? I can't digest books that fast."
"You smoke every day but you don't know anything about it. You're nothing."
"Hurry up and fish out yours."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about his father's disdain. He was very excited when he saw everyone fishing up a cigarette or a can every once in a while.
He had only seen these foreign cigarettes in the Friendship Store, but he didn't recognize any of them, and he had only seen small packs.
All of these were packed in whole cartons or boxes, and even more strangely, there were barrels.
Fortunately, there was a layer of plastic film on the outside, so water couldn't get in, otherwise they would be ruined if soaked in sea water.
The outer plastic film is good, it ensures that these cigarettes are intact, otherwise they probably wouldn't dare to pile them directly on the deck.
Seeing that everyone was still fishing for cigarettes scattered on the sea, he first changed his wet clothes, and then stood on the deck again to sort out the cigarettes that everyone had salvaged.
He waved to Chen Shi, "Come on, choose one. Anyway, I don't know what kind of cigarette this is, and I don't know which one is expensive and which one is cheap. You pick one yourself, and I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Brother Dongdong... I don't smoke..."
"If you don't smoke, you can take one back for your family to smoke, or keep it as a souvenir, or go to the Friendship Store to see how much it is, and then resell it. Anyway, just treat it as a reward for your hard work. With me, of course, the more you work, the more you get."
"Hey, good..."
Chen Shi was very happy. In their cognition, foreign things are not cheap, they are all good, and any cigarette here must be better than domestic ones.
Since they didn't know it anyway, he chose a long iron box.
He thought that since it was packed in an iron box, it must be more high-end than the one wrapped in plastic film!
The barrels are too small. They are just a small barrel, which is only slightly larger than a tin can.
"Is this... okay?"
"Okay, I also think the tin box ones should be more expensive. I know how to choose. I'll keep them when I get them back. I'll go to the Friendship Store sometime and sell them to save some money."
He smiled and nodded.
Ye Yaodong looked at the envious eyes of others and said, "Don't blame me for being partial. You are on the boat, and he and I are in the water. The risks we take are different. The more we work, the more we get."
What's more, he worked so hard, and he responded every time.
If others gave him papayas, he would give him plums in return.
By the way, let others see that working hard is a visible reward for him, and he will not treat people unfairly.
"But after the salvage is finished, you can also choose a pack. Whatever you want, just open the package, choose one and take a pack. These foreign goods are imported, so there should be no cheap ones."
Everyone has a share, and it can also stop their mouths.
"Haha... we didn't say anything..."
"We are just envious. Haha, it would be great if we could share a package. It must be very valuable. You need foreign exchange coupons to buy it."
"We are also lucky. Following A Dongcai, we can get some good goods from time to time. It's worth it. How can I say that you are partial, haha, other ships don't have this kind of treatment."
"Yes, the boatmen on those ships are all envious of us for being able to work with you. In addition to wages, if you are lucky, you can also get some surprises occasionally."
Ye's father was also a little pleased. He just said, he still had to get on Dongzi's boat.
Look, several other boats are still working, and they have already fished out dozens of cigarettes.
"The sea surface here is gone. Take your telescope and take a look. See what else is there on the surrounding sea surface. Don't fall down. You can get a lot of money from this one."
"It's in the cockpit. Go ahead and tell Uncle Qi after you look at it. Ask him to move to another position while I sort out the goods."
Father Ye reluctantly looked at the cigarettes on the deck, "Okay, I'll go up and take a look."
Ye Yaodong has already sorted them into categories, "Which one do you want?"
"This...I can't tell which one is more expensive..."
"Haha... Otherwise, it's just like Chen Shixuan. This guy seems to have good luck. Take one out and open it, and everyone can share a package?"
"That's okay. Anyway, we don't know which one is more expensive and which one is cheaper. It's better for everyone to choose the same one."
Ye Yaodong also laughed, "That's right, no one can take advantage of anyone else if you choose the same one. Otherwise, if you choose different ones, if yours is more expensive than mine, it won't be a big loss. I'll be heartbroken."
"Hahaha, yes, that's it. If everyone is the same, it will be balanced. When the time comes, whether it is expensive or cheap, there will be no gap."
Everyone was so happy that they had a pack of imported cigarettes for free, and everyone felt very beautiful in their hearts.
Ye Yaodong took apart Chen Shi's cigarettes in the same iron box and gave each of them a pack. He planned to leave the rest to his father later.
The rest he put into the basket according to the type and piled them up.
After his father asked Chen Laoqi to change directions three or four times, he fished out eight or nine more pieces. He put them all into a basket, and then used his wet clothes to cover them. Anyway, there was a film outside, so he was not afraid. wet.
Then he lifted the basket to the helm and took a bag to Chen Laoqi, who was driving the boat, and asked him to go down and rest.
He gave the rest of the disassembly to his father, and then took the basket into the cockpit. Fortunately, he planned to dock in the evening, and then lock it directly to the warehouse in the city.
Father Ye happily played with his newly acquired cigarettes.
"Dongzi, what are you going to do with these cigarettes? Isn't it difficult to sell these cigarettes? It wouldn't be good if others saw them, right?"
"If you don't want to sell it, keep it in your hands first."
These cigarettes require foreign exchange to purchase, and they are also rare items. He had just salvaged them and counted more than 70 cigarettes, plus 18 cans.
If it were sold, it would probably be worth several thousand dollars.
But he didn't think it was necessary. He had too much cash on hand and there was no need to exchange everything for money.
If these things are given as gifts, they are very respectable and have a long shelf life.
He planned to put it in his hands first. During the New Year and holidays, he would inevitably give gifts to Zeng Weimin or his godfather.
Fang Jingfu also had to express his feelings occasionally.
In the future, you can also use it if you need help from someone or to maintain a relationship.
As a person, it can't always be smooth sailing, there will always be times when you encounter difficulties.
After calculation, these quantities are not very large. You can keep them in your hands first to save money from having to spend money to buy them later. If you want to buy them, you will have to pay for them and you will need foreign exchange coupons.
Foreign exchange coupons are not easy to get either.
"Do you keep so much in your hands?"
"Well, keep it as a spare. It's also a good gift."
"That's right. You're not short of money anyway, so just put the things in your hands first. If you sell them, there may be risks."
"If you've admired it enough, come and sail the boat and take a look around here. I don't know if there are any more. Let's try our luck."
"Okay", Father Ye put the cigarette box on the console, "Should we go to another shipwreck to have a look?"
"It's okay, it's up to you."
"Then let's go around here first, and then go to another sunken ship."
"Well, give me a pack of your cigarettes, open them and let's taste them? It just so happens that I'm almost out of cigarettes in my pocket."
Father Ye's hands were faster than his brain and he immediately pressed the iron box of cigarettes, "You have so many..."
"There are so many of them that haven't been opened yet. They are all intact and packed in one carton. I can't bear to part with them. You just happened to have them all opened and you don't want to give them a try. What does foreigner's cigarettes taste like?"
"No, it looks very expensive."
"Scrooge, you've been smoking hookah for half your life, where's the fun in it for you?"
"You can't bear to tear one piece apart, and of course I can't bear to part with it either."
"If you take it back, it will be confiscated by my mother anyway."
Father Ye hesitated for a moment, "This is cigarette, shouldn't it?"
"But it has foreign writing on it. My mother must know the goods. Can she give it to you?"
"Okay, then I'll open a pack for you. Don't tell her when you go back. I'll hide it secretly."
"Okay."
The father and son reached a consensus.
However, when Ye's father saw him standing on the rudder tower puffing out smoke, he felt a little sad. He didn't even know what it smelled like. Anyway, it had been opened and given to Dongzi. It would be a waste for him not to smoke.
Ye's father shouted to the outside, "Dongzi, come here."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and walked over, "What for."
"Give me one."
"Have you figured it out?"
He handed the cigarette in through the window, and also put in the half-held cigarette butt in his hand, asking him to borrow a light.
Ye's father said nothing and changed the subject, "You haven't responded here for a long time. I'll go to another sunken ship. Do you want to go down again?"
"Well, go down and take a look. If there's nothing, cast the net again."
"Okay."
Ye Yaodong also went down to the deck to prepare while his father was sailing.
The boatmen also squatted on the deck to sort the goods, excitedly discussing how much the cigarettes they had just obtained were worth, and no one was willing to take them out to smoke.
After arriving at another sunken point, Ye Yaodong named Chen Shi to go down with him.
After the others had tasted the sweetness, this time they all paid attention to the sea surface after they went into the water.
But this time there was nothing.
It took them a long time to come up, of course they returned empty-handed, and they saw nothing below, the seabed was too deep.
"It's better to go down and take a look, and give up."
"It's not that there is no harvest, the harvest just now is already big."
"Well, prepare to put the Internet cafe and continue the work, and we will dock in the evening."
"Okay."
Ye Yaodong handed the remaining work to others, and went back to the cabin to change clothes, and wrapped himself in the quilt to lie down for a while to warm his body.
It was evening, and he had already collected two nets in a row, and then someone came in to call him, saying that his father was looking for him.
"Should we go and collect the groceries on other ships now? I just contacted them. Some of them are about to collect the groceries, and some have already collected them. It's just right for us to take turns to go there and collect the groceries on the ship?"
"Okay, then you take a look. If someone has finished collecting the goods, let them know in advance and we will go to collect the goods."
"Okay."
Father Ye went to Shunfeng to collect the goods first.
Ye Yaodong also told his father about his idea on the way. Father Ye also thought that this idea was good. By the way, he could make a little more money, so he wouldn't have to dock directly with his own ship.
There would be no loss to others. They are brothers, and he is there to watch. There is nothing to worry about.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua are indeed easy to talk to. Ye Yaodong mentioned it, and Father Ye helped to say it. They nodded directly and handed all the goods to him and asked him to take them back to weigh.
Of course, Ye Yaodong also promised them that he would definitely be realistic.
It's just that the two brothers didn't want Father Ye to follow Dongzi back like this. Father Ye is their pillar of support.
After he left, the three boats on the sea were all small chicks, and no one would feel at ease.
So, after discussing, Ye Yaohua first exchanged with Ye's father.
Ye's father temporarily returned to the Shunfeng and continued to stay on the sea, and Ye Yaohua followed Ye Yaodong to the shore first.
Ye's father actually wanted to go back and see what would happen to the smugglers after they were caught. After all, they were also from their nearby villages.
He was quite curious about who else was there besides Zhou Yechi, and whether there were people from their village? But he had to watch them on the sea.
After the two exchanged, he went to A Guang again.
A Guang was the same, very easy to talk to.
"I have nothing to worry about the goods for you. Anyway, after you weigh them on the shore, you can just make a bill and bring it to me. I will go to your place to settle the bill and get the money when I get home."
"Okay."
What he didn't expect was that Zhou's brothers were also easy to talk to.
When moving groceries, they took the initiative to ask why there were so many goods on his deck.
As soon as he said that, the brothers discussed it and agreed immediately.
He hadn't said anything to persuade him, and his mouth was still open, but he was stunned for a moment, looking very surprised.
Zhou Da laughed and said, "Haha, didn't you say that? We have no objection, are you still surprised?"
"I still want to say a lot of things before you agree."
"We believe in you. It's better to give you the money than to let the freshwater boats make money. We are all neighbors from the same hometown. We help each other at sea. There is nothing we can't trust."
Zhou Er also said, "Yes, not to mention that you have a big family and a big business, so why would you covet our goods, and so many people are watching."
Zhou San echoed, "You are also our brothers' lifesaver. It's okay to give these goods to you, not to mention that we are just selling them to you."
Ye Yaodong listened to their words one by one, and the smile on his face deepened.
It's easy to interact with smart people who know how to repay their gratitude.
"Okay, trust between people is also built up bit by bit. Sell the goods to me, and you can rest assured. I seek truth from facts, and of course the price is based on the price of other fresh-collecting ships. Bring it back to me directly for weighing, and it will save time to weigh it at sea."
"That's the truth." Zhou Dada waved his hand and asked others to lift the goods in the fish warehouse and move them over.
"There are marks on our baskets, so they won't be confused with other people's goods. You must bring the baskets back tomorrow, otherwise we have nothing to load the goods."
"I know, everyone has a mark, so they can't get lost. They must weigh the goods one by one, and they will definitely bring them back to you tomorrow."
"Okay."
They chatted for a while while moving the goods. The Zhou brothers were very curious. Why did he suddenly want to dock and go back early?
Normally, he should stay on the sea and wait until he is ready to go home before docking.
They just privately guessed whether it was related to the law enforcement ship yesterday, but Ye Yaodong only evaded a few words and said that he had something to do and had to dock, and didn't say anything else.
Let them guess whatever they want. Anyway, they are all on the sea. No matter how much they guess, it won't spread to the village for the time being.
When everyone docks and goes back to the village in a few days, it's hard to say.
After all, they saw the smuggling ship being attacked by the law enforcement ship on the spot, and then forced to stop and captured all the personnel, detained the ship, and sank two ships.
When encountering such a wonderful thing, they have to brag a little and discuss it. The villagers will always think of the people in their village or nearby villages who have heard about smugglers, and they will definitely bring it up for discussion.
There will definitely be some rumors, and Linji will definitely be mentioned.
His cousin was arrested, and it was only a matter of time before he was reported by the locals.
So after the fishing boat docked, he divided the goods on the boat into several batches and took them to the workshop for weighing. He went to the market to call home as soon as possible, regardless of the fact that it was already dark.
He called his wife.
There was an old man who was a gatekeeper living in the village committee. It was not very late yet, and as long as he was not asleep, someone would answer the phone.
He called Lin Xiuqing first, and then asked Lin Xiuqing to tell Linji’s wife.
As for whether his wife could contact him, it was none of his business, anyway, he had told her what he knew.
Linji was so elusive that he had no way to contact him, so he could only tell his wife and try his luck.
It all depended on his luck.
If he was lucky, he would know earlier and hide earlier.
If he was unlucky, he had done his best.
He was relieved after the call.
He didn't know if there was anyone behind them. If there was, he could find a connection in advance and maybe there would be some hope.
However, this was none of his business.
He would go to the Ocean Bureau to ask his godfather tomorrow morning. After all, they met at sea, and it was normal to ask curiously after landing.
Updated 11,000... Go to bed, good night
