The large rock is naturally the ancestor of the hawksbill turtle.
It's quite remarkable that it recognized Fu Wan at such an advanced age.
But Fu Wan didn't have time to play with it today. She turned her head and saw that her comrades behind her were still some distance away, so she took out the knife she carried with her and cut open a big, fat sea urchin for the old ancestor.
Eat up, and when you're full, go play somewhere else!
The old sea turtle seemed to have noticed the movement behind Fu Wan. When Fu Wan opened the sea urchin and handed it to it, it actually opened its mouth and grabbed the edge of the sea urchin shell.
Then it swam away as fast as if it were carrying a bowl of rice in its mouth.
His limbs moved incredibly fast, as if the people behind him were about to steal the sea urchin from him.
Fu Wan watched it leave with a wry smile, and not long after, the comrades who had followed it swam to her side.
They no longer paid attention to the sea turtles; their attention was completely drawn to the shipwreck in front of them.
If it weren't for the fact that you can't talk in the water, everyone would probably be talking about it by now.
Fu Wan waved to them, then pointed to a wooden crate not far away and gestured to them.
After a series of actions, the comrades understood Fu Wan's meaning.
These dozens of wooden crates were their target for this trip.
So everyone got to work, and some even swam over, picked up a wooden box, and started swimming upstream.
Seeing this, Fu Wan quickly stopped him, making an X with her hands to indicate that this wouldn't work.
It's important to know that seawater is constantly flowing. If you're holding a box, it will not only affect your ability to float, but you might even be squeezed by the seawater while trying to surface.
After all, these wooden boxes have been at the bottom of the sea for who knows how long, probably at least several decades. If the seawater current is strong, they might even fall apart.
If the contents fall all over the floor, it will be troublesome, and we might not even be able to retrieve them.
Fu Wan pulled a net bag off her waist. She had brought the net bag specifically for carrying these wooden crates.
She then demonstrated to everyone how to put a wooden box into a net bag and tighten the opening.
Finally, she thought about it again, untied the safety rope from her waist, and tied the wooden box tightly together through the net.
Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Fu Wan pulled the rope. Sun Shao Ping on the boat thought something had happened and quickly ordered someone to pull the rope. Unexpectedly, what was pulled up was a wooden box in a net bag.
Then the ropes started shaking continuously, and Sun Shao-ping quickly ordered, "Quickly, pull those ropes up!"
He was incredibly grateful that, for safety reasons, he had tied two safety ropes, one thick and one thin, to each of his comrades who went into the water.
Now the thin safety ropes came in handy; ensuring the safety of the wooden crates is a form of safety, after all!
However, he was also reflecting on himself. This time, he had rushed into the sea. He had never thought that he could use a net to cover the wooden box. No wonder Comrade Fu Wan brought so many nets before boarding the ship. She was probably preparing for this.
Next time he'll definitely have to do his homework beforehand!
Practice makes perfect. This was only his first time salvaging cargo from a sunken ship, but Sun Shao-ping was already thinking about how to do it next time.
However, at this time, Fu Wan's nets were still not enough. Helpless, she had to send several comrades back to the ship empty-handed to bring back some nets.
As for herself, she led the remaining comrades into the dilapidated cabin and carried out the wooden crates.
At this moment, Fu Wan truly understood what Sun Shao-ping meant when he said that this group of people were obedient.
They were truly obedient. As soon as Fu Wan finished gesturing, the comrade on the other side understood and immediately began to carry out the plan.
So they quickly moved the cargo out of the hold, and with the help of the others who returned with nets, in almost two hours, all the wooden crates on the sunken ship were packed up and hoisted away.
After leading everyone back to the deck, Fu Wan immediately collapsed onto the side of the boat, panting heavily.
As for the other comrades, they were all lying on the deck, their chests heaving, their aching muscles a reminder of the challenge they had just faced.
Although Sun Shao-ping was focused on the wooden crates he had retrieved, he still cared about the meritorious individuals like Fu Wan.
He brought several medical personnel with him when he boarded the ship, and now those medical personnel came over to check on everyone's condition.
To their surprise, despite being prepared for injuries, everyone was unharmed except for exhaustion.
Therefore, the medical staff could only help them move their muscles while conducting the examination, and Sun Shao-ping specially arranged a female doctor for Fu Wan.
Faced with the female doctor's concerned smile, Fu Wan felt embarrassed to let her press on her legs and arms, so she quickly stopped her and thanked her:
"Comrade, I don't need to press it, really, I'll be fine after a short rest. Thank you!"
When the woman saw Fu Wan's drab gray diving suit and the wooden crates piled up on most of the deck, she was filled with admiration and wouldn't listen to Fu Wan stop.
"No, Comrade Fu, I'll massage your muscles a few times and they'll relax quickly, so you'll be able to stand up sooner."
Fu Wan found these words awkward to hear, but the woman wasn't exaggerating. After pressing for a while, Fu Wan really did feel much more relaxed.
"Thank you, comrade! I feel much better now."
Oh dear, she didn't have anything to thank her with. If reality allowed, she could have immediately gone out to sea and caught a fish for this woman to try.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, we're about to open the box."
Sun Shaoping shouted, and Fu Wan, upon hearing this, could no longer sit still and quickly stood up and walked over.
"Leader Sun, please open the box!"
It's fortunate that he was able to hold back and wait until all the wooden crates had been salvaged before revealing the matter.
"Okay, let's start then!"
Sun Shaoping waved his hand, and the experts next to him could no longer resist. One of them started to unlock a wooden box.
They didn't open the box as simply and roughly as Fu Wan had done before; instead, they were very careful, afraid of accidentally damaging anything.
However, an expert is an expert after all; not only is he skilled in archaeology, but he is also a first-rate lock-picking expert.
Even though the locks were from an unknown era, Fu Wan heard a series of clicks as the wooden boxes opened one after another in no time.
Upon seeing what was inside the wooden box, everyone present gasped in shock.
"Gold...it's all gold!?"
The leader surnamed Fang muttered to himself, followed by an exaggerated laugh from an old expert on the other side.
"Not only gold, but also a lot of porcelain. Judging by the patterns, it's from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Haha, young comrade, think again, have you finished moving everything down there?!"
