Chapter 510: Opening the blind box (two chapters combined into one)(1/3)
But it was a little far away, and the two boats on the opposite side were blocking it, so they couldn't really see what was going on.
Moreover, Ye Yaodong is also a little curious about that huge swordfish, and he doesn’t know if it is still there?
Will the three boats join together to round them up?
But these boats are used for smuggling, so there should be no hunting tools on board, right?
He stretched his neck and squinted his eyes, but he could only see the cargo piled on the two boats opposite. What was going on with the other boat and how it was turned over, he couldn't see clearly.
"How about we get closer? Don't get too close, just take a look?"
After hearing this, Ye's father shouted to the other boats and asked. After everyone had no objections, he sailed the boat in that direction.
Unexpectedly, just as they were approaching, a swordfish with its flag fluttering flew across the water in front of them, startling them and causing Ye's father to stop the boat urgently, and the two boats next to him also stopped suddenly.
The sharp snout is something that most ships cannot bear.
But fortunately, it swam directly over at high speed, but then I saw it staying on the sea surface not far away, poking here and there, swinging its body back and forth.
Ye Yaodong moved a stool to put his feet up, stepped on it while holding on to the strong wall of the cabin, and looked into the distance.
I saw many fish corpses floating on the sea. Then, it opened its mouth and sucked wildly. In an instant, all the blood of the fish corpses was swept into its mouth. Then, it quickly swam away and continued to rush forward like a speeding sailboat.
.
It turned out that it had encountered a school of fish, so it stopped and used its long, sharp sword-like snout to stir up and stir up the sea, chasing them wantonly, stirring up the sea surface until blood boiled, and the fish carcasses floated, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"Ah, let me go. It turns out that there is a school of fish over there that it discovered, so it stopped there and launched an attack."
"This fish is too scary. It flew past at such a speed that even a person in front would be penetrated."
"So that boat was so miserable..."
"Eh~ Those two boats seem to be dragging that boat away?"
"It seems to be heading to the foot of the opposite mountain?"
"There seems to be something in the sea?"
Ye Yaodong stood high and looked far away, and said in surprise: "It's a box and a sack! Dad, drive the boat over and have a look."
"good."
Anyway, the fish had gone away, and they were all curious about what those boxes and sacks floating on the sea were? Why didn't they sink?
The three boats moved forward quickly. The fishing boats in front also noticed them, but they were unable to care about them at this time. What they had to do now was to reduce the losses and drag the attacked boat to the shore first to avoid sinking.
The losses were heavy.
As long as the fishing boat didn't sink, it could be repaired anyway, and there was still some cargo left on the boat and it didn't fall into the sea, so maybe it wouldn't be a huge loss.
Because two boats were dragging one boat in front, the boat was not moving that fast. Everyone in the back also discovered that most of the things on the boat were scattered. The boat was in a mess and there was no one on it. It was probably that the boat tilted before.
It had already fallen into the water.
"Dongzi, those boxes and sacks must have been dropped when the boat tilted." Ye Yaosheng was overjoyed.
Chen Jianian echoed, "That's right, otherwise they wouldn't all be concentrated in this area."
"Get rich, Dongzi. Let's salvage all these boxes and sacks. There must be good things in them..."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, not as excited as them, "Not necessarily. Generally, things just sink to the bottom. The weight floating on the sea is relatively light. It may be just some small things. I don't know for sure."
Good things like watches and radios must have sunk directly. How could they be floating on the sea?
"That's true."
"But there are so many boxes and sacks, and they are all picked up for free. You can pick them up first to see what they are. These things on the ship must have been sold back for money."
"That's right, they came all the way from the high seas and must be sold for money. Let's catch them first." Father Ye agreed excitedly, and slowly moved the boat closer to the floating objects on the sea.
The same goes for the two boats next to them, both approaching the floating objects on the surrounding sea surface.
At this time, no one was paying attention to the three boats in front, and they didn't have time to take care of them anyway.
The boxes and sacks were either big or small. The smaller ones were each taken out with a hand-made net, but the big ones were difficult to catch. Ye Yaodong took out the hand-thrown net from the cabin, carefully cast it out, and then dragged it forward.
.
The three boats all planned to seize the time to fish and leave as soon as they finished fishing. They still had to hurry, and they were also afraid that the two boats would turn around after dragging the boat to the shore.
"This sack seems to be quite heavy..."
"It's floating on the sea and hasn't sunk, so it shouldn't weigh much, right?"
"Is it possible that the wood is causing the contents to float to the top?"
"Things that are heavy will still sink..."
"Fill it first. Let's leave as soon as we finish it. Then we can slowly open it and take a look."
"Hey good..."
There were only a dozen or twenty floating objects floating on the sea. The three boats took them all aboard in just a few words and a few clicks.
Ye Yaodong counted and found that they had fished 3 small boxes and 4 sacks on their own ship. Mainly because these were relatively close to his ship and easy to salvage. The principle was to stay close.
I don’t know how many other boats caught. They quickly drove away as soon as they finished fishing. No one had time to stop and chat.
"Open them all and see what's there. On the way back, I didn't expect to find a bargain. I don't know if it's worth it."
"You go ahead and drive, you're in luck!"
"No matter how worthless there are, there are so many bags, and they were all picked up for free. Let's take a look first."
"The shapes of these two bags look the same. They are both long strips. Could they be made of fabric?"
"It's possible, the fabric is quite good. Take it back, wash it, dry it and you can use it to make clothes..."
While everyone was discussing, Ye Yaodong randomly picked one of the two bags they were discussing, untied the rope tied to it, and saw that polyester knitted fabrics of various colors were neatly placed vertically inside.
Everyone was instantly surprised!
"It's really cloth! Several bolts of cloth!"
"It's all fabric, a lot of it..."
"This cloth costs several yuan per meter..."
Ye Yaodong was also excited about the fabric. It would be fine if the fabric was soaked in some sea water. Anyway, they were going back today. Then they could just take it back and spread it out with water to rinse and dry it in the sun.
"The fabric is good. There is another bag with the same shape. It must be made of fabric. Open it quickly and see what kind of fabric it is. The colors are colorful and very beautiful." Father Ye was eager to go up and open it himself.
"Okay..." Ye Yaodong also continued to untie the sack excitedly.
There is no doubt that the second bag is made of fabric when opened, but this bag is made of tweed, which is even more surprising.
"It's a woolen fabric used to make clothes in winter. I heard it's very expensive. It's good for making coats in winter."
"I found a treasure, and there is actually cloth inside..."
Everyone was even more excited. Woolen cloth was more expensive, and coats were not cheap.
"There are several in black, red, beige, and black and white plaid. They are all beautiful colors. I heard that a coat costs over a hundred yuan. How many can we make?"
"You're really good at fishing. I caught all the cloth for you."
Ye Yaodong smiled and narrowed his eyes, "The things floating in front of you are all sacks. You can catch them with your eyes closed. I also caught two at random. Let me take a look at those three small boxes and what are the other two bags? Wait a moment.
Let’s all pick something.”
At this moment, they also heard the boat next door exclaiming, and everyone else looked over.
"They also opened boxes there, and they must have found something good."
"It's leather shoes. They got a box of leather shoes!" The second cousin lay on the side of the boat and exclaimed loudly.
Others also looked over and saw them taking out their leather shoes, and they were all envious.
“These leather shoes are not cheap!”
"There are really good things in these boxes..."
"It's a pity. We should have picked up a few more boxes just now. I don't know how many boxes sank into the sea..."
"It's not a pity. Anyway, these are all picked up for free. It's good if we can pick up a few pieces. And those things that sank probably won't be usable even if they are soaked in sea water. These are just the fabrics. Let's take them back and wash them.
It can still be used." Ye Yaodong is in a good mood.
I just made a lot of money, these are just the icing on the cake, it's already great to have.
Father Ye also nodded, "If this is a radio, camera or recorder, it can't be used if it's soaked in water, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's open it and take a look. What else is in those items?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at the parallel boat next door that was opening boxes, and he enthusiastically planned to open one first and check, "You guys should also open the other bags and boxes."
"well……"
"It's a digital watch!"
"Electronic watch..."
"Boom~ This small box of things is an electronic watch...has it been soaked in water? Can it still be used?"
