Chapter 826 Unpacking

Father Ye was waiting anxiously above with his neck stretched out, and from time to time he would take a look at Ye Yaodong's watch on the stool.

"It's been a long time, why haven't you come up yet? Have you encountered any problems?"

The old father's heart was really broken.

This son is really having a hard time. He has lived for more than 20 years and there is no time to calm down. It makes people so worried no matter how long it takes.

Father Ye felt that he had to continue to see him for a few more years, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable to sit at home and wonder what he was doing.

He walked back and forth frequently, looking at the nearby sea from time to time, and then at the distant sea, feeling that time passed particularly slowly.

However, he did not dare to pull the rope tied to the side for fear of affecting his activities below. It was not until there was a splash on the water and a human head emerged from the water that his heart returned to his stomach.

"Why did it take so long this time? Didn't we just find a box? Isn't the box nearby? I remember it very well from the past few days. It's at this location, so there shouldn't be much error?"

Ye Yaodong took away the mask from his face and then wiped his face and said, "Let me go up first."

Floating in the water for too long and tying up a large box of things took too much energy.

"Come up first, come up first."

As soon as he got up, he didn't even bother to take a breath. He immediately asked his father to use a machine to pull the box up, and then he collapsed on the deck, gasping for air.

"You found the box? Two ropes were tied to the box? Why are your clothes so torn?"

Father Ye looked at his ragged appearance and thought he had just returned from begging.

"It's tied up. One box is very light and the other is very heavy. I don't know what's in it. I don't have to choose when stacking them. I can only tie up the top one and drag it up first. You put the two boxes away first." Come up first."

He looked down at the tatters on his body again. He went up and down from the cracks in the rocks, and his clothes and pants were scratched with many holes. His arms and thighs were also scratched several times, with several red marks.

But I didn't feel any pain. Now that I've reacted and seen it, I do feel a little pain, and it's still salty and feels a little burning.

He shook his arms and stretched his legs, "When I was tying them up, they were scraped against the reef wall."

As he spoke, he took off the pocket from his waist, "When I was searching underneath, I happened to see a few small green dragons hiding in a gap, so I caught two of them."

After pouring the two little green dragons into the bucket, he told his father what happened underneath, and also told his father about the strange gap.

Listening to his description, Father Ye asked with some confusion: "Are those boxes hidden inside on purpose?"

"I think so too. If it hadn't been hidden there intentionally, the boxes in that gap wouldn't have been placed so well. If they had fallen off the ship, the boxes would have been scattered everywhere and wouldn't have been stacked neatly."

"That's right. How could the things that fell down be properly stored inside?"

Ye Yaodong frowned, held up his chin, and looked at the green mountains and green water on the island in the distance, thinking silently, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Ah dad, do you think this was hidden by pirates?"

"ah?"

He patted his knees and said, "It must be. This reef is so close to the island. Didn't the border guard find a very hidden cave on the island before? They said they only found a few boxes of cultural relics, porcelain and calligraphy and paintings. of."

"Weren't you unwilling to search for several days before evacuating? The pirates must have been hiding everywhere, and the treasure must not be hidden in just one place. If they were caught all at once, there would be nothing left. This location on the seabed is far away from the island. It’s so close and not very deep, so they must have hidden it too!”

"Yes, it's definitely true! These boxes must be hidden treasures hidden by pirates. The cunning rabbit has three burrows. The eggs will not be put in one basket. These must be secretly hidden by pirates under the sea."

He stood up excitedly, his face full of excitement. Did he not expect that he could get a bargain?

In ancient times, there were pearl divers, as well as fishermen who specialized in fishing for abalone and sea cucumbers. Going down to the seabed with a water depth of more than ten meters was nothing for some professionally trained people.

When I found the box before, I didn't bother to figure out where it came from, because I just took a glance at it. The bottom was covered with aquatic plants and mud, so I couldn't see clearly and didn't know what was going on underneath.

Now that he went down there and saw it clearly, he couldn't help but ponder it.

I feel that I must have guessed correctly, otherwise who would have stacked the boxes on the seabed for no reason, and it is not a sunken ship. Besides, if the ship sinks, the boxes on the ship will be swayed.

Father Ye also thought about it in his mind and felt that what he said made sense. He didn't know the situation of the box on the seabed before, but only knew that there was a box. Now it seems that it is in line with his guess.

"First pull it up and open it to take a look. According to what you said, the border station only found a few boxes before, so there must be more. Let's first see if there is anything valuable inside? What if it's calligraphy, calligraphy, paintings, spices or something else? Soaking it in water is of no use.”

"It's definitely not those things. I'm not a fool. I put things that can't be soaked in water and deliberately put them in the water to hide them. These things must be put on the shore, so that gold, silver and jewelry can be hidden under the water."

"Well, it's very possible... it's coming up... it's coming up..." Father Ye got excited thinking that it might be gold, silver and jewelry. When he saw a box emerging from the sea, he quickly called out and called him to come over and lift it together.

"Huh? So light?"

Father Ye was a little surprised. This was a bit beyond his imagination. Shouldn't it be heavy?

"One is light, and the other is heavy. Lift this one up and put it aside first, and then collect the other rope. This one is light, and the other one is heavy."

He wasn't sure what was in this light box, and he couldn't even think about it. How could it be light if a whole box of gold, silver, and jade was packed in?

The father and son carried the box, and the water splashed all the way down to the deck.

The box was badly faded due to blisters, and it was still entangled with a few water plants and stained with a little mud, but it still had an ancient look, which is not something you can find in modern times.

When the father and son put the box on the deck, they heard a crisp banging sound.

"Huh? Fragments?" Ye Yaodong felt that he heard wrongly. He raised his head slightly and heard the crisp sound of fragments again.

"Hey, is it porcelain inside? Then it broke into pieces, so there is a sound of pieces?"

"It doesn't sound like it, does it?"

Father Ye was a little unsure, so he raised a corner like him. Both of them pricked up their ears, and they were both a little unsure.

"Can't hear it."

Ye Yaodong shook the rusty lock on it and made a clang, "Pull up the other box to take a look at it first, and then we can open it together later."

He was afraid that if he cut off the lock of the box now, he would be disappointed when he saw what was inside, so he would just pull up the two boxes together and then open them to see.

At least the other box is heavier and feels more interesting, so I won't be too disappointed.

There are so many boxes at the bottom. If one box can reveal treasure, it will be a big profit for him.

Father Ye nodded and turned to get another rope.

Ye Yaodong circled around the box and kicked it twice more. The crisp sloshing sound was still the same. It felt like the sound coming from the fragments, but he didn't know if they were fragments of porcelain.

"Stop kicking it. What if there's something that's not broken, or it's originally good, but you kick it and break it?"

"All right."

He had nothing to do for the moment, so he had to lean against the side of the ship and wait for another box to be pulled up.

The scenery of the island in the afternoon is particularly magnificent. The summer sea breeze ruffles the calm sea surface. The vast water surface sparkles under the fiery red sunlight. From a distance, it looks like shimmering broken silver. From a close look, it looks like crumpled green satin. charming.

Maybe it's because people are in high spirits during happy events. Now he wears filters when looking at everything. He feels that today's scenery is particularly beautiful, and today's sky is particularly beautiful. Even the nearby reefs that have risen due to the low tide feel quite beautiful. Yes, the sea breeze feels fresh and sweet.

"I'm coming…"

He was so excited that he immediately went over to help, hoping that after the box was fished out and opened, it would give him a shocking blow. He no longer counted on the light and airy one just now.

"Come up, one person per side."

"This is really heavy, be careful when you pick it up."

As soon as Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he saw that his father's hand that had just been carrying the box dropped hard and his expression became distorted.

Although he himself was well prepared, when he actually reached out to take it, he almost couldn't hold it steady and his face turned red.

"Is this so heavy?"

"Yes, I told you a long time ago, this is very heavy, and it is difficult to tie the front under water."

"Be gentle... put it down... don't press your hands..."

After the two boxes were placed flatly together, Father Ye couldn't wait to get the kitchen knife. Originally, because of the longline fishing, there was a broken kitchen knife on the boat, specially used to kill fish, and he just happened to bring it now. Cut the lock, and you won’t feel bad if it breaks.

"Which one should I open first?"

"This, this, the heavy one, let's see what it is first?" He said as he kicked the box twice with his feet. He only heard a thick banging sound, and the sound was different.

Anyway, he had given up hope.

If the good is good first and then the bad is bad, you won't feel so disappointed. Anyway, there are already pearls ahead.

He was very confident in this heavy box. It didn't even make a shaking sound. It was so heavy and the sound was deep. It must be packed tightly and there must be good things inside.

"Okay, let's open this box first, and wait for that box."

I don’t know if this lock had been soaked in the sea for a long time, and the inside was corroded. It was extremely brittle. Father Ye chopped it off a few times, and the whole lock fell off.

The father and son were excited now.

Ye Yaodong's eyes flashed, he rubbed his hands back and forth, and then opened the box.
