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 it sprayed out of its mouth was not only long strips, but also small iron boxes, iron buckets, and some sawdust. It also sprayed out more fish and seawater from behind, densely packed like a storm.
The fish that were ejected were confused and confused in the surrounding water, colliding with each other, and some even bumped into them, and then quickly dodge in fear.
After Ye Yaodong waited for the fish around him to scurry away, he swung his flippers out of curiosity and swam towards 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 barrels were floating in the sea, thinking that they would sink into the water.
Unexpectedly, it was washed by waves in the sea and slowly floated upwards. However, the floating speed was slower, which was not as good as the long outer film packaging.
Chen Shi also grabbed one in his hand. He also thought that those 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 underwater, and he stopped plunging downward.
Isn't this kid too honest-minded?
When I saw the iron box falling to the bottom, I still wanted to rush down and pick it up, but it couldn't fall into his hands, so I kept trying so hard.
As soon as Ye Yaodong swam next to him and wanted to give him a signal to let him float up, he saw the big whale swaying its body after vomiting, and then also dived 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 into its belly from the sunken ship, found that the stuff in its entrance was not right, and vomited them all after biting them.
And 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 stood there frozen, 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 up directly and telling his father to let him see something floating up and salvage it quickly. But now he saw the whale rushing down, and he also thought about whether to go back again.
Go down and take 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, and it was better to just descend a few more meters than to wait until he had gone up and then come down again.
After thinking about it, he made a downward gesture to Chen Shi, and then swam down first.
However, the depth was unknown for several hundred meters, and they could only go down to a dozen meters at most.
When they couldn't go any 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 didn't come back in vain.
This seabed is truly unfathomable.
The two of them 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 them. 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, and A Dong could only walk around once in the water. We really didn't expect that there would be cigarettes."
"Yes, I thought there would be no harvest, so I lowered my head 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, "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?"
Our 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 thought it made sense. These smugglers should basically have a whole shipload of goods, and it shouldn't be possible for them to be so single.
"That's right. If it's a whole boat, that would be huge."
"I didn't get these cigarettes. As soon as we went down, we saw a huge whale. No wonder we were dumbfounded. We saw him open his mouth and spray out a bunch of cigarettes packed in various shapes, followed by a lot of fish and wooden sticks.
.”
Chen Shi also hurriedly said: "I was scared to death... just swam by... and it was bigger than me. I thought... it wanted to eat me."
Ye Yaodong said: "Normally he won't eat people. If you are nearby when he is hunting, you will most likely be swallowed directly by him."
"It... vomited, and I was worried. It opened its mouth again, ate... and went in."
Everyone was surprised when they heard what they said. They didn't expect that it was spit out by a whale.
"Whales can still swallow things from sunken ships?" Father Ye was a little surprised.
"It's possible that the fishing boat sank, or that there was too much cargo, and that it rolled over when it was sinking, and a small part of it was washed away by the waves, or that the fishing boat tipped over and floated out from under the awning, and was swallowed by a predatory whale.
It’s possible to get in.”
How else to explain the whale's mouth spitting out a bunch of cigarette and sawdust, as well as a large number of fish.
I must have eaten it by mistake, and then I spit it out because it didn't taste right.
Then came the scene they saw when they first entered the water.
"It makes sense. I'm going to sail the boat and move it. Some of them are drifted far away and can't be reached. Don't waste it. You can wait until I come back..."
"Forget it...Chen Laoqi, go sail the boat...just move over there and try to fish out as much as you can..."
"Don't waste it. This cigarette is very valuable. If you see it, you have to pick it up."
After thinking about it, Father Ye still wanted to listen to Ye Yaodong's story, so he sent Chen Laoqi to sail the boat.
Then he asked: "What about behind you? Did you go down into the water? These things floated up for a while before you came up."
"Yes, I went down to take a look, but I couldn't go very deep and didn't see anything, so I had to come up first."
"I just said it's very deep down there. It's an accident that the smoke was sprayed out by the whale. Normally, it should just sink to the bottom. But it's hundreds of meters deep, so how can you get it?"
Ye Yaodong said angrily: "I know you still encourage me to go down."
Father Ye smiled naively, "Isn't it because you are very skilled in the water? You have been in the water a lot in the past two years, so you are not that worried. Don't you also want to take a look before giving up?"
"Brother Dongdong... if that whale goes down again, will it... spray again?"
"It's not so lucky, okay? Let's fish these out of the sea first and then talk about it."
Father Ye picked up another cigarette in an iron box from his hand, "What kind of cigarettes are these? Do you understand?"
"You think so highly of me, dad, your son has just escaped from illiteracy, and you want me to understand foreign languages? I can't digest books so fast even if I eat them like food."
"Look at you smoking every day and not finding a reason to do it. It's nothing."
"Hurry up and get yours."
Ye Yaodong didn't care about his father's disapproval. He was very excited when he saw everyone fishing out a piece or a can every now and then.
He had only seen these foreign cigarettes in the Friendship Store, but he didn't recognize any of them, and what he saw was only a small pack.
All of these are packed in whole bars or boxes, and even more strangely, they are also packed in barrels.
Fortunately, these have a plastic film on the outside so water can't get in, otherwise they would be useless if soaked in sea water.
The plastic film on the outside is good, it keeps these cigarettes 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 out of the wet clothes on his body, and then stood on the deck again to sort out the cigarettes that everyone had fished up.
He waved to Chen Shi, "Here, you choose one. Anyway, I don't know what kind of cigarette it is. I don't know which one is more expensive and which one is cheaper. You choose one yourself and I will reward you."
"Brother Dongdong...I don't smoke..."
"If you don't want to smoke, you can take one back to smoke for your family, or keep it as a souvenir for yourself, or you can go to the Friendship Store to see how much it costs, and then resell it. Anyway, just treat it as a reward for your hard work. In my case, of course, the more work you do, the more you get.
.”
"Hey, good..."
Chen Shi was very happy. In their understanding, foreign products are not cheap, they are all good. Any cigarette here is definitely better than domestic ones.
Since he didn't know anyone, he chose a long iron box.
He believes that since it is packed in an iron box, it must be higher quality than the one wrapped in plastic film!
The barrels are too small. Those barrels are only small barrels, which are a little bigger than tin cans.
"Is this...is this okay?"
"Okay, I also think that the iron box ones should be a little more expensive, so I'll know how to choose. I'll put them away when I get them back. Find a time to go to the Friendship Store to have a look, and then sell them to save some wife books."
He smiled and nodded.
Ye Yaodong looked at the envious looks of others and said, "Don't blame me for being partial. You are on the boat, and he and I go into the water. The risks we bear are different. The more you work, the more you gain."
What's more, he still works so hard and responds every time.
If others give him papayas, of course he will get some plums in return.
By the way, let others see that hard work is a visible reward for him, and he will not treat others badly.
"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 Adong, 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, all the boatmen on those ships are 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."
Father Ye was also a little pleased, so 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 cartons of cigarettes.
"The sea surface here has disappeared. 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 taking a 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 very happy. They were all so happy that they had a pack of imported cigarettes, 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 stacked 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 carried the basket to the helm and took a bag to Chen Laoqi, who was sailing 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 hard 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.
It's just that 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.
You can also use it in the future if you need help from someone or to maintain a relationship.
Human beings can't always have smooth sailing, there will always be times when they 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 had enough of admiring it, come and sail the boat and take a look around here again. I don't know if there might be any more. Then try your 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. I just happen to be running 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 in one package and 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 foreign cigarettes smell like?"
"No, it looks very expensive."
"Scrooge, you have been smoking hookah for half your life, where is the fun 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 and can she give it to you?"
"Okay, then I'll give you a package to open. Don't tell her when you go back. I'll hide it secretly."
"OK."
The father and son reached a consensus.
It's just that Father Ye felt a little sad when he saw him standing on the helm, puffing away smoke. He didn't even know what it tasted like. Anyway, he had already taken it apart and given it back to Dongzi. If he didn't smoke it, it would be useless.
smoke.
Father Ye shouted outside, "Dongzi, come here."
Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and walked over, "What are you doing?"
"Give me one."
"Have you figured it out?"
He passed the cigarette through the window and put the half-filled cigarette butt in his hand, asking him to light it.
Father Ye remained silent and changed the subject, "You haven't responded here for a long time. I'll drive to another shipwreck. Do you want to go down again?"
"Well, let's go down and have a look. If there's nothing there, just put down the net again."
"good."
While his father was sailing, Ye Yaodong also went to the deck to prepare.
The boatmen were also squatting on the deck and continuing to sort the goods, excitedly discussing how much the cigarettes they had just received were worth. No one was willing to take them out and smoke them.
After arriving at another shipwreck, Ye Yaodong named Chen Shi to go down with him.
After others had tasted the sweetness, this time they all paid attention to the sea after they entered the water.
Only this time there was nothing.
It took a while for the two of them to come up, but of course they came back in vain. They didn't see anything at the bottom because the seabed was too deep.
"It's okay to go down and take a look, but I've given up."
"It's not that there is no gain, the harvest just now is already huge."
"Well, we are going to open the Internet cafe and continue our work. We will dock in the evening."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong handed over the remaining work to others, returned to the cabin to change clothes, and wrapped himself in the quilt to lie down for a while to warm his body.
It was late in the evening, and two nets had been collected in succession, before someone came in and called him, saying that his father was looking for him.
"Shall we collect the groceries from other ships now? I just contacted them. Some of them are about to be collected, and some have already been collected. It just so happens that we can take turns to go there and collect the groceries on the ship?"
"Okay, then take a look and see who has finished receiving the goods. Let us know in advance and we will go over to receive the goods."
"good."
Father Ye first went to the SF Express to receive the goods.
Ye Yaodong also told his father about his idea on the way. Ye's father also thought that this idea was good, and he could earn a little more at the same time, so that he would not have to dock his own cargo directly.
There will be no loss to others, they are brothers, and he is there to watch, so there is nothing to worry about.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were indeed easy to talk to. Ye Yaodong mentioned something, and Ye's father helped. They nodded directly and handed the goods to him to take back and weigh them.
Of course Ye Yaodong also assured them that he would seek truth from facts.
It's just that neither brother wanted Ye's father to follow Dongzi back like this. Ye's father was their Dinghai Shenzhen.
With him gone, the three boats on the sea are all little chicks, and no one will feel at ease.
Therefore, after discussion, Ye Yaohua first exchanged words with Ye's father.
Father Ye temporarily returned to the SF Express and continued to stay at sea. Ye Yaohua first followed Ye Yaodong back to the shore.
Father Ye actually wanted to go back and have a look. He wanted to know what would happen to the smugglers after they were caught. After all, they were also from the villages near them.
He really wanted to know who else was there besides Zhou Yechi, and whether anyone was from their own village? But he had to watch them from the sea.
After the two of them switched, he went to A Guang's place again.
The same goes for Ah Guang, who is very easy to talk to.
"I've got the goods for you, so I don't have anything to worry about. After you go ashore and weigh it, you can just write out an order and bring it to me. I'll just go to your place to settle the account and get the money when you get home."
"good."
What he didn't expect was that brothers Zhou Daji were also easy to talk to.
When he was moving the groceries, they took the initiative to ask him why there were so many groceries on his deck.
As soon as he said it, the brothers agreed after discussing it.
He hadn't even said anything to persuade him, his mouth was still open, and he was stunned, looking very surprised.
Zhou laughed and said: "Haha, isn't that what you said? We have no objection, and you are still surprised?"
"I'm still thinking that you will only agree if I get a lot of baskets."
"We believe in you. It's better to earn money by collecting fresh boats than by giving it to you. We are all neighbors in our big hometown, and we help each other at sea. There is nothing we can't believe."
Tuesday also said: "Yes, not to mention that your family has a big business, how can you covet our small goods, and so many people are watching."
Wednesday echoed: "You are still our brother's savior. It's okay to give these goods to you, let alone just sell them to you."
Ye Yaodong listened to each of them and the smile on his face deepened.
It's easy to associate with smart people who appreciate kindness and repay kindness.
"Okay, trust between people is also built up bit by bit. You can rest assured if you sell the goods to me. I am realistic and the price will of course be based on the price of other fresh-collecting ships. Just give it to me directly.
If you bring it back and have it weighed, you won't have to waste time weighing it at sea."
"That's the truth." Zhou Da waved his hand and asked others to carry out the goods from the fish warehouse and move them over.
"Our baskets have marks on them so they won't be confused with other people's goods. You just have to bring the baskets back tomorrow, otherwise we won't have anything to load them."
"I know that everyone has their marks and there is no way they can be confused. They must be weighed one by one and they will be brought back to you tomorrow."
"good."
They chatted for a while while moving the goods. The Zhou brothers were very curious, why did he suddenly have to dock early and go back?
Normally, you should stay at sea and only dock when you want to go home.
They had just privately speculated whether it was related to yesterday's law enforcement ship. However, Ye Yaodong only said a few words that he had to go to the shore for something, and said nothing else.
No matter how they guess, they are all at sea anyway. No matter how they guess, it will not spread to the village for the time being.
It will be difficult to say after everyone has docked and returned to the village in a few days.
After all, I saw with my own eyes that the smuggling ship was attacked by the law enforcement ship on the spot, and then forced to stop, arrested all the personnel, detained the ship, and sank two of them.
When encountering such a wonderful thing, you have to brag a little and then discuss it. The villagers will always think of someone who is a smuggler in their village or a nearby village, and they will definitely bring it up for discussion.
There will definitely be some rumors at that time, and Lin Jishang will definitely be brought up to talk.
His cousin was arrested, and it was only a matter of time before he was notified by the local authorities.
So after the fishing boat docked, he divided the goods on the boat several times and took them to the workshop to be weighed. Regardless of the fact that it was completely dark, he went to the market and called back as soon as possible.
He was calling his wife.
There is an old janitor living in the village committee. It's not very late yet, so as long as you haven't gone to bed, someone will answer your phone calls.
He first called back to talk to Lin Xiuqing, and then asked Lin Xiuqing to tell Lin Jishang's wife.
As for whether his wife could contact him, that was none of his business. Anyway, he told what he knew.
There was no way to contact the dragon in Linji, so he had no choice but to tell his wife and try his luck.
It depends on his luck.
If you're lucky, you'll know it earlier and you'll be able to hide earlier.
It was bad luck, and he was completely benevolent.
After making the call, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know if there is anyone behind them. If there is someone, if they find connections in advance, there might be some hope.
However, it's none of his business.
He will go to the Ocean Bureau to ask his godfather early tomorrow morning. After all, he met him at sea. After docking, it is normal to ask curiously.
Chapter completed!
