Chapter 118: Gains from Diving
Zhou Guohua looked at Wen Wan, whose face was livid, and asked in a low voice, "Should we continue to follow and see?"
That’s right, you can only watch after following!
But he also gave a red envelope when he borrowed the boat, which cost him twenty yuan, not including the fuel cost.
Twenty yuan is not a lot for him. It is enough for one net of fish, so it is not too little either.
Their family had not split up and he had not married, so every time they went out to sea they gave him two yuan as pocket money, and the rest of the money was saved for his marriage.
Although he didn't spend much money when he went out to sea every day and saved it all, he was dating now, so he wanted to make up for it.
Wen Wan looked at the island in the distance and said, "Let's go to that island and take a look."
It was impossible to leave so quickly, she wanted to see what they could find by diving to the bottom of the sea.
Last night, she dreamed that Zhou Chenglei picked up a bunch of red corals.
Red coral is the most valuable of all corals and is known as the "ruby of the sea".
In modern times, she has heard that one gram of coral is equal to one ounce of gold.
In her previous life, Wen Wan heard from people in the village that there was a large red coral ornament in Zhou Chenglei’s house that was worth tens of millions.
That was what Zhou Chenglei got when he was young at sea.
In his dream, Zhou Chenglei picked up red coral on the beach, so let’s go to that island and take a look!
* On the Zhou family's boat
Jiang Xia held Amy's hand and watched Zhou Chenglei, wearing diving equipment, take Jill and John into the sea.
Jill and John gave them two sets of diving equipment, five pieces each, in a box that looked very expensive.
One set for men and one set for women.
The women's suit originally belonged to Jill's wife, but she had to return home for some urgent business, so it was also newly bought.
The men's suit was bought by John from a friend and was also new.
Several of them came this time. Some came to buy ships, and some came to investigate and plan to open factories in China.
Hearing that there was a sea here, several people prepared diving equipment. However, when they arrived, they couldn't find a yacht to go out to sea. John was able to buy diving equipment from a friend who suddenly had to return home for something.
Jiang Xia had never dived before and she really wanted to try it, but Amy was here, so she couldn't just leave her little guest alone and go into the water.
So Jiang Xia waited for them to get into the water, and then took Amy fishing. Zhou Chengxin couldn't wait to accompany him. No, not eager, but Zhou Chenglei asked him to accompany Jiang Xia fishing! Zhou Chenglei took Jill and John down to the bottom of the sea about 100 meters deep. As soon as they reached the sea, they saw several large lobsters swimming on the seabed.
He swam over and skillfully grabbed the lobster and put it into the net bag.
Jill and John also saw it and immediately went after the lobster.
Zhou Chenglei was not to be outdone. After catching one, he went for the second one, and then grabbed two dragon whiskers in the cracks of the reef and pulled out another one! He caught three in total, all of which were quite big, weighing about two kilograms.
Then he saw several black caterpillar-like things crawling on the white sand.
It's sea cucumber! Eating it is good for your health and can strengthen your body.
Jiangxia gets fever easily, which means he is weak, so he should eat more sea cucumbers.
He swam over and picked up the sea cucumbers one by one.
I have to say that there is still a lot of fish on the seabed in this era.
He moved forward along the way, encountering sea cucumbers, starfish, conchs, crabs, scallops, geoducks... he didn't let any of them go!
These are the goods that they cannot get even if they try to get them normally.
After about half an hour, the two net bags Zhou Chenglei brought were full. He looked at John and Jill and gestured to them to go up.
Both of them had a good catch, but not as exaggerated as Zhou Chenglei's. They responded with a gesture and followed him upstream.
Father Zhou and Zhou Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them swimming up, and quickly took over their net bags.
Jiang Xia found that the three people all had their net bags full of goods, and they were all good stuff, and he smiled with his eyes curved.
Amy excitedly called "Daddy" on the boat, and told Jill that she and Jiang Xia went fishing together, caught a lot of fish, and took many photos.
She danced with joy to describe how good she was at fishing!
Jill was also happy to see her daughter so happy, and thought to herself that she must express her gratitude to Jiang Xia.
Zhou Chenglei looked at Jill and John and asked them whether they wanted to continue going to the bottom of the sea or go back to the boat to rest.
John hadn't had enough fun yet, so he gestured that he wanted to go back to the bottom of the sea.
Originally, Jill wanted to go back to the boat because he was afraid that his daughter would be lonely, but now Amy and Jiang Xia were obviously having a lot of fun, so he signaled to Amy that he would go down to the seabed again.
Amy was having a great time fishing and said happily.
So the three of them went down to the bottom of the sea again.
This time Zhou Chenglei swam farther and saw many black sea urchins on the rocks. He hooked them one by one into the net bag.
Later, a grouper swam out from the crevice of the rock. He chased the grouper farther and then watched it swim into a reef cave.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The dark entrance of the cave is covered with abalone.
Many are very large.
Zhou Chenglei was about to swim over when John and Jill swam over and didn't seem very interested in the abalone.
They like lobsters but not abalone.
This time they had been coming down for nearly half an hour and they were a little impatient, so they gestured to go up.
Zhou Chenglei looked around, got to know the environment, and followed them up.
Next time he brings Jiang Xia here, she will definitely be very happy to see this Abalone Mountain.
Zhou Chenglei could imagine Jiang Xia's eyes shining with surprise.
He couldn't wait to swim up.
The three of them swam out of the sea, and Zhou's father and Zhou Chengxin took their net bags and pulled them onto the boat.
Jiang Xia was a little surprised to see that Zhou Chenglei caught so many sea urchins this time.
On the contrary, there was not much in John and Jill's net bags, only some sea cucumbers, and they only wanted to catch lobsters.
They picked up these sea cucumbers because they saw Zhou Chenglei picked up a lot of them just now.
Jiang Xia glanced at the time and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock, so he asked, "Shall we go to the island to cook something to eat?"
Jill and John immediately said, “Okay!”
So Zhou's father sailed the boat to a distant isolated island.
When the boat docked, Wen Wan and Zhou Guohua had already explored the entire island, but found nothing valuable.
Wen Wan searched the entire beach but couldn't find any red coral.
There were quite a few mussels and barnacles and so on, and they picked up some mussels and took them back.
There was only one convenient place to anchor the boat on the island, so the two boats anchored together.
When Wen Wan walked towards the fishing boat, she saw Zhou Chenglei jump off the boat and reach out to pick up Jiang Xia.
She pursed her lips, silently looked away, and rolled her eyes at the sea: So pretentious!
Suddenly, Wen Wan felt a pain in the sole of her foot. She felt something was pinching her foot. She moved her foot away, looked down, and found a little red color protruding from the surface of the sand.
Wenwan's heart is pounding!
I checked online and found that the deepest record for a person diving without equipment is 113 meters. This is without equipment. I don't know if this data is true or not, but I will write it according to this standard! If there is any mistake, please point it out.
