Chapter 1,147: Unexpected Gain

No one on the crew would object to Ye Yuan's decision.

What's more, the resting conditions on the Royal Water are very good.

Except for some ups and downs at night, it is no different from the island.

The wind and waves on the sea at night are obviously much stronger than during the day.

Fortunately, the crew members have already adapted to this kind of wind and waves, so they naturally don't feel anything to be afraid of.

After dinner, the Royal Water dropped anchor.

Ye Yuan took the crew members to their rooms to rest.

Occasionally, if you don’t want to go to bed so early, you can stay in the entertainment room and play cards or play the game consoles provided on the ship.

Of course, gambling is not allowed on the Waterbender.

The rule he gave to the crew was that it was okay to have fun, but gambling was never allowed.

Late at night, the crew members were all asleep.

Ye Yuan came to the sea alone.

The reason why Ye Yuan chose this sea area to rest was actually selfish.

While he was getting into the crab pot, he discovered through perception that there was an iron wooden box on the bottom of the sea.

What interested Ye Yuan the most was the wooden box. Except for the iron sheet, the wood was basically decayed.

As a result, the contents inside were scattered on the seabed.

Due to the long time, the contents in the wooden box have been covered with mud and sand.

In addition, the perception cannot penetrate into the sea sand, and the items in the wooden box can be seen clearly.

So Ye Yuan couldn't tell what was inside at that time.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Yuan arrived at the seabed where the wooden box was found during the day.

Ye Yuan gently peeled away the sea sand buried on the wooden box, and then he could see clearly what was underneath.

Coins appeared in front of Ye Yuan's eyes.

Ye Yuanzai knew what this meant.

This is not the first time he has found gold coins on the seabed.

After a simple inventory, Ye Yuan found dozens of gold coins this time.

Due to years of corrosion by sea water, many gold coins have changed beyond recognition.

Occasionally, on a few pieces, you can vaguely see a woman's head from above.

It seems that these gold coins should have been here for a long time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been corroded so badly.

Ye Yuan is no stranger to finding treasures under the sea.

So here comes the question.

Why was this box of gold coins left here?

According to Ye Yuan's usual experience, there should be similar items around.

Realizing this, Ye Yuan's perception took him as the center of the circle and radiated out to the surroundings.

A careful search was carried out along the sea sand and across the nearby reef areas.

Not long after, a sunken ship buried under the sand quickly caught Ye Yuan's attention.

Judging from the damage to the sunken ship, it should be a foreign sailing ship.

The hull has been severely damaged, and there are still rusty muskets on the ship.

But because the gun was so corroded, it was impossible to tell its age from its appearance.

Judging from the damage to the hull.

The shipwreck must have been hit by a thermal weapon such as artillery before it sank.

Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to search for the items on the ship.

Instead, he began to use his senses around the sunken ship to observe the internal situation.

Due to long-term corrosion by sea water, most of the items in the ship have lost their original appearance.

Occasionally discovered skeletons indicate that the crew did not escape when the ship sank.

This is not the first time Ye Yuan has seen such a scene at the bottom of the sea.

Ye Yuan didn't feel that terrible about these skeletons.

Feel along the hatch and enter the interior of the hull.

After searching from room to room, he finally found a dozen iron-clad wooden boxes that were the same as the previous wooden boxes in a small cabin.

From these wooden boxes, Ye Yuan once again found thousands of gold coins similar to those before.

It's just that these gold coins are protected by wooden boxes.

Although the corrosion is also serious, it is obviously much better than those found on the seabed before.

This made Ye Yuan extremely happy.

Although these gold coins are not very precious items to the current Ye Yuan.

But with such a huge harvest from just a simple crabbing trip, who would be unhappy if it were the other way around?

In addition to these wooden boxes containing gold coins, Ye Yuan also found some items similar to rubber on the ship.

It's just that these have been eroded by the sea and have no value at all, so he doesn't bother to collect them.

I searched the cabin again to make sure there were no valuable items inside.

Ye Yuan then followed the original path and left the sunken ship.

It sounds like Ye Yuan is lucky.

Although most of the sunken ship has been buried by mud and sand, the hatch that allows access to the interior of the ship's hull is exposed.

This also saved him a lot of cleaning time, otherwise just such a sunken ship would have kept Ye Yuan busy for a while.

Early next morning.

Ye Yuan came to the deck to exercise.

The crew members who were still resting gradually got up and got ready to work as the sky grew brighter.

Gong Hongzhuang got up early and had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, all the crew came to the deck.

Listening to the crew chatting on the deck, Ye Yuan smiled and said:

"Are you all full?"

“full”

"Then let's work and wait until Ding Yi takes charge of sailing the ship.

Pei Fei is responsible for coordinating the crane, while others sort.

Remember to throw all the small ones back into the sea, and don’t be reluctant to part with them.”

Ye Yuan stood in front of the crowd, making final work arrangements.

"Don't worry, boss, it's not the first time you catch crabs!"

Ma Hua stood in the crowd and said.

"You're the only one who talks a lot. Now that everything is ready, get ready to work!"

Ye Yuan smiled and cursed, causing the other crew members to burst into laughter.

Following Ye Yuan's order, the crew began to divide work.

Some people may ask, isn’t a crab pot a tool specifically designed for catching crabs?

Does this also require sorting?

The answer is: of course.

Because the crabs that go into the cage cannot be just one kind.

Even sometimes, many shellfish will enter the crab pot.

Therefore, even if you are fishing for crabs, you still need to sort them.

As the captain, Ye Yuan also went into battle today, and his job was the most dangerous and tiring hook-throwing aspect of this crab fishing.

Hook throwing is the most dangerous job among all crew members.

It was precisely because the wind on the sea surface was relatively strong today that Ye Yuan decided to complete the work himself.

He put on his work camouflage uniform and held a grappling hook in his hand.

Under the gaze of the crew, Ye Yuan swung the throwing hook in his hand in a graceful arc.

Aim at the float not far ahead and grab it accurately.

The grappling hook firmly grasps the floating cable.

Ye Yuan began to quickly recover the thrown rope.

As the grappling hook was retracted, the float tied to the crab pot was also pulled aboard.

After hanging the cable on the prepared crane, Ye Yuan spoke:

"good!"

Pei Fei, who was standing in front of the crane, heard Ye Yuan's shout and quickly started the crane.

As the crane started, the crab pot emerged from the water.

"Bao Cong! Bao Cong La!"

Seeing the crabs in the crab pot, several crew members were already shouting excitedly.
