Chapter 1188 Windfall
No one in the crew would object to Ye Yuan's decision.

What's more, the rest conditions on Yushui 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 has long adapted to this kind of wind and waves, so naturally they don't feel anything to be afraid of.

After dinner, Yushui dropped anchor.

Ye Yuan led the crew to the room to rest.

Occasionally, those who don’t want to rest so early can also stay in the entertainment room to play cards or play the game consoles provided on the ship.

Of course, gambling is not allowed on the Yushui.

The rule he gave to the crew is that entertainment is okay, but gambling is absolutely not allowed.

In the middle of the 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 is actually selfish.

During the time when he got out of the crab cage, he discovered through his perception that there was an iron wooden box on the bottom of this sea area.

What interested Ye Yuan the most was this wooden box, except for the iron part, the wood had basically decayed.

This caused the contents to be scattered on the ocean floor.

Due to too long time, the things in the wooden box have been covered by sand.

In addition, the perception cannot penetrate into the sea sand, so you can see the items in the wooden box clearly.

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

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Yuan came to the bottom of the sea where he found the wooden box during the day.

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

Coins appeared in front of Ye Yuan's eyes.

Ye Yuanzai couldn't understand what this meant.

This is not the first time he has found gold coins on the bottom of the sea.

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

Due to being corroded by seawater all the year round, many gold coins have been completely changed.

Occasionally, a woman's head can still be vaguely seen from above.

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

Otherwise, it wouldn't be corroded so badly.

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

So here comes the question.

Why is 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 radiates around him with him as the center.

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

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

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

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

However, due to the severe corrosion of the musket, there is no way to judge its age from its appearance.

Judging from the damage to the hull.

Before the sinking ship, it should have been hit by a thermal weapon similar to a cannon.

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

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

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

Occasional skeletons found 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.

For these skeletons, Ye Yuan didn't feel so terrible.

Perception goes along the hatch and enters the interior of the hull.

After searching one by one, he finally found a dozen iron-clad wooden boxes that were the same as the previous ones in a small cabin.

From these wooden boxes, Ye Yuan found thousands of similar gold coins again.

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

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

This made Ye Yuan very happy.

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

But it's just a simple crab fishing, and there is such a big harvest, who would be unhappy if it was changed?

In addition to these wooden boxes containing gold coins, Ye Yuan found some rubber-like items on the boat.

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

I searched the cabin again to make sure there was nothing of value in it.

Only then did Ye Yuan leave the sunken ship along the original route.

Speaking of it, Ye Yuan was lucky.

Although most of the sunken ship has been buried by sand, the hatch that can enter the interior of the hull is exposed.

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

The next morning.

Ye Yuan came to the deck to move his body.

The crew members who were still resting got up one after another to prepare for work as the sky brightened.

Gong Hongzhuang, who got up early, had already prepared his breakfast.

After breakfast, all the crew came to the deck.

Listening to the crew chatting on the deck, Ye Yuan said with a smile:

"Are you full?"

"I am full"

"Then let's work, and Ding Yi will be responsible for sailing the boat.

Pei Fei is in charge of coordinating with the crane, and the others are sorting.

Remember to throw all the small ones back into the sea, don't be reluctant. "

Ye Yuan stood in front of the crowd, sitting on the final work arrangement.

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

Ma Hua stood among the crowd and said.

"It's just that you talk a lot, since everything is ready, let's get ready to work!"

Ye Yuan cursed with a smile, which drew laughter from the other crew members.

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

Some people may ask, isn't the crab pot just a tool for catching crabs?

This also requires sorting?
The answer is: of course.

Because the crabs in the cage cannot be just one kind.

Even sometimes, many shellfish will enter the crab pot.

So even for crabbing, there is a process of sorting.

As the captain, Ye Yuan personally went into battle today, and his job is still the most dangerous and tiring hook throwing this time.

The job of hook throwing is the most dangerous of all crew members.

It is precisely because the wind on the sea is relatively strong today, so Ye Yuan decided to complete this work himself.

Put on the work camouflage uniform, holding a grappling hook in his hand.

Under the watchful eyes of the crew, Ye Yuan threw the throwing hook in his hand in a graceful arc.

Aim at the buoy not far ahead, and grab it accurately.

The grapple was firmly caught on the buoy's cable.

Ye Yuan began to quickly recycle the thrown rope.

As the grapple is retracted, the float tied to the crab cage is also pulled onto the boat at the same time.

After hanging the cable on the prepared crane, Ye Yuan spoke:
"it is good!"

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

With the start of the crane, the crab pots emerged from the water.

"The violent cage! The violent cage!"

Seeing the crabs in the crab cage, several crew members shouted excitedly.
