Chapter 464
“Aqin, guess what we found underneath.” Zhao Ping shouted excitedly while pulling the rope towards the direction of the ship.
The place where they emerged was about 20 meters away from the hull of the ship.
Zhao Qin resisted the urge to curse, and his eyes fell on the net bags carried in front of the two of them, but he couldn’t see clearly at all.
After pulling the two people onto the boat one after another, they discovered that the safety ropes on them had been untied and tied to the net bag, which was still sinking in the water.
“What’s there?” Zhao Qin couldn’t help but ask.
The old cat chuckled, “See for yourself, it’s a good thing.”
Zhao Qin and Ah He stopped talking and started to retrieve the rope with one hand.
When the net bag was put away, Zhao Qin couldn’t laugh or cry looking at the contents inside, while Ahe was overjoyed.
“Damn, this sea cucumber is so big, and this abalone, brother, it’s much bigger than what we dug on the breakwater before. Brother Ping, are there many down there?”
Zhao Ping took a sip of water and sat on the deck. He was finally out of breath. Diving was very tiring.
Hearing Ahe’s question, he nodded like he was pecking rice, “There are so many, they are all densely packed, darling, the resources on the reef under this island are so good, it is estimated that no one has come to ask for them from the sea.
I also saw lobsters, which were all in the crevices of the rocks below, but they were difficult to catch with bare hands. ”
After saying that, he still had a look of pity on his face.
Old Mao followed the interface closely, “If you go down and bring a dip net, you can probably catch some lobsters. By the way, I also encountered a sea urchin nest, which was full of horse dung and sea urchins.
The price of this thing is not lower than that of sea cucumber and abalone. ”
Speaking of which, the harvest was really good. The two of them went into the water for about half an hour. Each of them harvested several dozen kilograms, and they were all good products.
There were seven or eight taels of abalone each, and sea cucumbers were even bigger. What they gained in half an hour was worth at least 20,000 yuan, which was why they were so excited.
But Zhao Qin was unhappy. This trip was for treasure hunting.
“Didn’t you see the sunken ship or the broken wooden boxes?” he asked.
They both shook their heads, and Zhao Ping replied: “I encountered these as soon as I went there, so how could I have time to wander around.”
Zhao Qin is so tired!
I want to say that I am really short-sighted, but this is my own big brother. Moreover, such a large sea cucumber and abalone, which is purely wild, is indeed a rare good product.
However, after the two of them worked for half an hour, they only got more than 20,000 yuan. If they find a sunken ship, a single gold coin can be worth three or four thousand. If Shi Dong is a little more rare, you dare to think!
“I’ll go down with Ah He.”
He began to pour the seafood into the living cabin, and then stood up and put on his own set of clothes.
“Brother, let’s go down and dig for sea cucumbers and abalones too.”
“Don’t be nagging. Find me a wooden box and a sunken ship. If you feel uncomfortable, come up early.”
After simply stretching his body, he jumped into the sea water. The deeper he dived, the less breath he would get. Even if he was breathing in oxygen, he would still feel like this.
After adjusting for a while, I gradually got used to it.
Although it is very shallow here, the world under the sea is really nice. There are unknown seaweeds and lumps of large corals. When he saw him approaching the shrimps and crabs that were escaping in a hurry,
Occasionally, there are small groups of seahorses jumping forward, and there are many kinds of fish swimming beside him.
Soon, he came to the reef. As his elder brother said, he could hardly move when he saw the densely packed abalone on the reef.
At the junction of seaweed and stones on the edge, many sea cucumbers lie there lazily. If you look closely, you will find small fish constantly moving in and out of the sea cucumber’s body, which is quite evil.
Ahe was right next to him, pointing to the reef nearby, indicating that he wanted to stop and start working. Zhao Qin shook his head decisively.
He walked around the area but found nothing, which made him a little discouraged. He estimated that it would take nearly half an hour.
He patted Ahe and pointed upward, indicating that he could go up.
When I got out of the water, I didn’t see the boat. I floated on the water and rested for a while. I pulled the rope and swam back. I rounded a corner and saw the boat.
The two people on the boat also saw them and began to retrieve the rope.
“Aqin, have you found it?”
“Why did you two run so far? The 200-meter rope is almost straightened.”
When the two of them got on the boat, Zhao Ping also saw the empty net bag clearly. He hesitated for a moment and said: “How about we take turns getting abalone in the next time?”
If that piece is cleared, I estimate that I can sell it for at least 100,000 yuan when I go back. ”
Old Mao also advised me that treasure hunting is too unreliable. Sea cucumbers, abalones, and lobsters are all right under my nose.
Zhao Qin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly, “Brother Cat, start the ship, let’s go a little east.”
Seeing that he didn’t listen, the three of them looked a little depressed, but they couldn’t refute.
Zhao Qin naturally understandsEveryone was afraid of returning with an empty boat, so they started to analyze the situation.
“Brother, Brother Cat, we came here to hunt for treasure, and I was prepared for an empty boat.
Also, the abalone and sea cucumbers below, I think this is their nest, as long as they are not disturbed, they will not disappear for the time being.
That is to say, they will still be there next time we come, so there is no difference between fishing this time and next time.”
“Aqin is right, next time there are more people on the boat, it will not be appropriate to talk about treasure hunting again, okay, then I will drive the boat, and we will continue to search in another area.”
Old Cat may not agree in his heart, but Aqin has said so much, he will not sing a different tune.
Zhao Qin was feeling depressed, but the next moment a black figure gradually emerged from the water not far away. He took a closer look and confirmed that he was not mistaken.
Excitedly, he patted Ah He next to him and said, “Go to the rudder cabin and tell Brother Mao not to move the boat.”
After that, he came to the bow and waved in the direction of the black figure, “Da Zhuang, here, I’m here.”
The turtle stopped swimming and stretched out its long neck as if to confirm Zhao Qin’s identity. The next moment, it really paddled over quickly.
“Good guy, I thought you changed the water area.” Zhao Qin was overjoyed and kept waving his hands.
After a while, the turtle came closer.
“Da Zhuang, where did you pick up the gold coins before? Can you tell me?”
For him communicating with the turtle like this, the other three did not laugh at him at all. After all, he just said something casually before, and Hu Zi took their boat to find fish.
Da Zhuang naturally couldn’t reply to him with words, but he seemed to really understand. After turning his head to look east, he actually turned around again.
The east side is very close to the island, and the boat can’t move at all, otherwise it will easily hit the reef. Zhao Qin thought about it and turned to the three people and said, “I’ll go down and take a look first.”
“Aqin, you’d better tie the safety rope.”
“No need, give me a life jacket, and I’ll go around the edge of the island. Let’s do this, Brother Mao, you drive the boat a little further away from the island,
Follow me and circle together, make sure I stop, and see if you can get close.”
With the life jacket, it’s not a big problem. Although it’s still a little risky, several people can’t think of a better way for the time being, so they have to do it.

PS: I forgot to wish my friends a happy new year, and I was so panicked that I had to put down the things at hand and write another chapter.
Don’t worry, I will try to update more. I’m at my wife’s family today. There should be fewer social activities in the next two days. There are many people at home, so I can’t write at night.
