Chapter 825 Found the Box
Of course, the rope is not used to tie people or tie rocks to sink into the pond. It is used to prepare for emergencies.
They dragged one net at night and two more nets at dawn, but no needlefish was seen in the nets. Both father and son were relieved.
Potential dangers are difficult to control, but you can choose not to take risks when the risks are high.
After lunch, Ye Yaodong changed with Brother Asheng as usual, and switched to the same boat as his father.
Last night's weather forecast finally turned out to be true. As expected, the sky is clear again today, and the sun is shining brightly. Looking at the sky in the middle of the sea, it looks like blue waves, and it is exceptionally clear, and the viewer is in a good mood.
Thinking of the rope his father mentioned last night, he also deliberately brought the rope from his own boat to his father's boat, so that when he goes into the water, he can directly bring two bundles of rope to tie them up. Depending on the size of the box, one trip can Tie one or two more to get twice the result with half the effort.
In case there are too many boxes, he won't be able to finish them all in one day. After all, he has to rest for a long time every time he goes down and comes back up.
Beautiful and thoughtful!
Father Ye directly drove the boat to the spot where it had been a few days ago. There was a reef there. This was a natural mark. It would never be difficult to find the location in the vast sea, and there was no need to place a buoy to mark it.
And Ye Yaodong was taking out the rope on the boat, pulling the rope to test the length, and his mind began to make sense.
Father Ye took a good look at the position, stopped the boat and came over, "Will it be too heavy to bring two bundles down and affect your ability to get into the water?"
Two bundles of hemp rope are not light.
"Are you stupid, Dad? You can tie one end of the rope to the boat and the other end to my waist. Wouldn't it make it less heavy? Why do you have to carry the whole bundle on your back?"
"Ah, that's right. The tide is out now and the reefs are exposed. How about going down now?"
"Well, get down now."
The sea breeze ruffled the calm sea surface, and the nearby reef was splashed by the waves. As soon as Ye Yaodong got into the water, his head was covered with spray. He shook his head and dived slowly.
This time he learned to be smart. No matter whether he saw big fish or small fish, big shrimp or small shrimp, he would take the initiative to move aside. He, an outsider, did not have the capital to be arrogant.
The position on the sea is easy to remember, but there will always be some deviations when you get down into the water.
With the dim light, he circled around the reef underwater for a while and saw three gaps, but the largest one could only be stretched out with his head, and no one could squeeze in.
Although he did not find the big gap where the box was hidden for the time being, he also saw several small green dragons hiding in the gaps in other rocks.
In line with the principle of never letting go if you have seen it before, he pulled out the small hand net stuck on his waist behind him, slowly stretched it into the gap, and covered a small green dragon.
I saw it curled up in shock, its shrimp tail swooping left and right. This one was a bit big, and the impact in the water was a bit strong. He was holding the handle of the hand net in his hand, and he kept moving around due to the shock.
Although the other little green dragons on the side didn't know what was going on, they looked at the unusual movement around them and the water flow was not right, so they shrank back twice in fright.
Ye Yaodong held the handle with both hands and moved the mouth of the net against the reef wall with all his strength. Only when his hands could reach it, did he grab the little green dragon and the net together in his hand.
After subduing it, he fiddled with the opening of the net with his other hand, grabbed it, and put it into the net pocket on his waist.
This is the first lobster given to Director Chen.
But there was only one, and it was a little lonely. He took the hand net and looked for the target in the gaps. He was going to catch another one, so he went to look for a box next to it.
Don't forget the main purpose of coming down here. At least we have to find the right place first and tie the two ropes to the box. If there is still time, we can come over and catch two more.
He is already an expert at catching the little green dragon. As long as he is not hiding too far inside and can get it with the hand net, he usually won't let it escape after covering it.
These little green dragons are rarely threatened by alien species on the seabed. They live quite comfortably, are not very vigilant, and are not difficult to catch.
Moreover, it is sometimes easier to catch it in the crevices of the rocks, because it stays there, unlike outside, where it runs slippery and has to be chased behind.
"Done!"
Successfully catching another one, Ye Yaodong narrowed his eyes with a smile. After stuffing it into his net bag, he did not hesitate to fight. He swung his flippers and backed away. He took a closer look at the surrounding environment and memorized the position before returning. Continue to search around.
Fortunately, his father remembered the location very accurately. He searched for about two minutes before he saw the gap in the back where he had come down before. This was after he swam a few meters up and looked down from the top, only to confirm it when he saw the box inside. .
The position of this gap at the bottom of the sea was covered by lush aquatic plants, making it particularly easy to miss. No wonder when he first came down, he looked around. The light was not that good from a distance, so he didn't notice it and continued to move forward.
I just searched forward for a short while but couldn't find it. Then I thought about looking back and found a gap blocked by lush aquatic plants.
When I was just playing with the water plants, I felt that the opening was a bit too small for people to get in, and there was a piece of mud inside. Some fish and shrimps swam through, and the water instantly became turbid.
There were aquatic plants growing inside, and I couldn't see clearly. Others couldn't get in, and I wasn't sure if there was a box, so I came up again and planned to take a look from above.
Originally, when he discovered it, the person was also at the top.
The man looked down from above and found it all at once. He clenched his hands into fists in excitement.
Then try to drill into the gap. This gap is also a bit strange, big on the top and small on the bottom, a bit like an inverted trapezoid, and it is big on the inside and small on the outside.
That's when I happened to encounter a needlefish, so I hid in a gap. Because my clothes got caught on the rocks, I turned around and looked down to find it.
If he really went down to the bottom of the sea, he would definitely not be able to find it even if he wandered around the opening ten or eight times.
Who would have thought that there is something else inside, something else hidden inside?
There are lush seaweeds growing in many places around the seabed. Who would fiddle with the seaweeds for no reason? Even if they are looking for sea cucumbers, they will not search all over the place.
Opportunities always fall from the sky like this, for those who are lucky enough to have great luck.
Ye Yaodong carefully walked along the edge of the reef, and occasionally saw one or two adsorbed conches and abalone, but he did not move to break them off.
They looked as big as his fist, and the soft flesh on them was quite large. It was adsorbed on the reef wall. Without tools, it was impossible to break it off with just brute force. You might even get injured if you used too much force.
Wait for him to go down and explore the situation of the box first, and then he will have enough time to slowly struggle with the things adsorbed on it.
This gap looked a bit like a funnel, getting narrower as it went down. Ye Yaodong carefully moved down. It felt narrower, and his back was pressed against the reef, so he continued to move in.
The location close to the opening will be smaller than the location in the middle hinterland.
When he moved to the bottom little by little and stood on the box, his clothes and trousers had been scratched by the reef wall, and the mud on the seabed was spreading upwards, making his vision blurry again. Fortunately, he was not far away. close.
He fiddled with the covering seaweed around the box and exposed the original appearance of the box, wanting to see how big it was and whether to bundle one or two at a time.
He didn't care about the silt and turbid sea water around him, and he was just pulling at the seaweed, but suddenly a sea red spot popped out from the waterweed. The fish's tail gave his arm a hard slap, and then swam away.
"Grandma, you're such a badass~ I'll catch you sooner or later..."
He cursed secretly in his mind and continued to pull. Then he tried to move the box, but found that it didn't seem to weigh much?
It was so easy to let him move?
What kind of stuff is inside that makes it so light and airy?
His heart suddenly became cold. Gold and silver jewelry should be heavy!
hateful!
Those who ride horses in the Gobi must first tie up the rope and pull it up to take a look. No matter how hard they work, they know what is inside.
However, after moving a little bit, he saw that there were more boxes underneath, not just the three or four piled on the surface.
Ye Yaodong first untied a rope tied around his waist. Since it could be moved, it would not be so strenuous to tie it up. He wrapped the rope around the box and then tied it with a bow.
When it's done, go and knock on the box inside again.
The one here is about the same size as the one outside, and it looks very ordinary.
He tried to move, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
This is good, this is heavy!
That's right. Only with weight can there be surprises.
He was full of energy in an instant, feeling like he had been given a shot of blood.
But this box is too heavy, which means it is difficult to move and bundle.
Under water, it is not as easy to tie up as it is on the shore, and it also has to be turned over.
He moved the bundled box outside to the side, letting it fall to the side to make room for him to flip through the bundles.
I originally thought that if the boxes were small, I could tie two boxes at a time to save time. But now I think about it, he was naive. In this small space, it is already very difficult for one person to tie up one box without help. Not bad, do you want to bundle two more?
Ye Yaodong struggled to push the box to the edge, and the bottom was halfway suspended. Then he used the rope to wrap the box around once, then moved it in another direction, and then circled it around again.
If you don't go around like this, when you pull it up later, if it loosens halfway and falls down, it will be difficult to find it and you will have to work hard twice.
After tying up the two boxes perfectly, he moved the box next to him and pulled a circle of seaweed around. After the turbid seawater became clear again, and after confirming that there were seven or eight more underneath, he Climb up first.
Time is running out. After the people go up, he will ask his father to use the machine to pull the two boxes up.
