Chapter 436: Reaping the Profits



......

"Pah pah~"

"Who?" The two people who were whispering on the boat were startled when they heard the sound. They hurriedly stood up and went out to see what was happening. When they walked to the bow, they found that it was a green-headed sea turtle that had hit the boat.

"Go away, go away, what dares to hit my boat?" Seeing that it was a green-headed sea turtle, the two men felt relieved and picked up a harpoon to drive it away.

The sea turtle is not a slow turtle, especially in the past few years, it has helped Cheng Zhenzhu find strange things in exchange for seaweed mud. The flexibility of its brain and body has improved several levels. Now, seeing two ugly humans trying to stab it, it dodged twice, swam back, and spit a big mouthful of water on the two people.

Pooh!

"Hey! This green-headed turtle is interesting! It dares to spray water on me!" One of the thinner men rubbed his hands as he looked at his half-body wet. Thinking of the bad things he had suffered from those Japanese devils in the past two days, he ran back to the bow of the boat and took a longer harpoon to poke.

I've been mad enough recently, and now a green-headed thing dares to come and cause trouble!

"Pfft! Pfft! No matter how long it grows, it's no use!" The little green turtle slithered up and down, approaching the boat and spitting several more times at the two men with ferocious looks.

It was the first time the two people on the boat had seen such an arrogant green-headed turtle. They took their long forks and started to hit it. However, they missed and were already soaked...

Cheng Zhenzhu watched the little green turtle playing with the two of them and threw a reward of seaweed mud to them to find something. The little turtle's eyes lit up and it immediately grabbed it with its mouth, eating it with a smacking sound and even banging the bow of the boat twice in excitement.

Yes, she's a really good partner, and knows how to stir things up! Cheng Zhenzhu steadied herself, pleased with the little green turtle, and walked over to the crack in the boat's awning to look for something...

It had to be said that the thing was hidden very deep. After rubbing along the crack with a few hands of dust, she still couldn't find anything. Cheng Zhenzhu took out a ruler and inserted it into the crack, which had never been so dusty before, to dig around.

She wondered what could be hidden in such a small crack. Cheng Zhenzhu dug around for a while, feeling something strange. But after trying so hard to get it out, she started to feel like using a ruler...

On the other side, the little green turtle was still trying to perform well, and was splashing water on the two people who wanted to poke it.

After "spouting" the water, the little green turtle found that the good taste in its mouth seemed to have faded, and it suddenly felt a little depressed. It stared with its two round eyes for a while, turned around and swam away, then swallowed a big mouthful of water and sprayed it at the two people on the boat.

It's all these two people's fault! The little green turtle tried hard to savor the taste in his mouth, squinting his eyes and smacking his lips vigorously. He swore on his life that this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten!

It wants more. Just now, it sprayed water on these two people and got seaweed mud. If it sprays water again, maybe it can get more...

Hmm? The thin man frowned, patted his companion and said, "Xiao Wang, did that green-headed turtle eat something just now?"

"Bird... bird poop?" the man called "Little Wang" answered hesitantly. He was a little unsure. Bird poop should fall from above, and the food the green-headed turtle just ate looked a bit like something thrown out by their boat. "...But, bird poop, should be white?"

"So you don't understand, right?" The thin man glanced at the young man. Only a well-nourished bird would poop white. They're all pale and black, so how could a bird possibly be well-fed? Black, white, brown, yellow, green, gray, whatever comes to mind...

The young man's expression was uncertain. Actually, the question now shouldn't be about the color of the bird poop, right? Rather, it should be about whether or not it was actually bird poop. "Brother Zhou, don't you think that thing just now fell from the sky?"

"Then...where did this thing come from?" the man called "Brother Zhou" asked back.

"Bang, bang, bang~" Cheng Zhenzhu, who felt that the ruler was not very useful, put the ruler into the space, and then simply and roughly swung her fist on the old boat awning.

Sometimes, violence is an easier solution. She firmly believes this.

After one punch, Cheng Zhenzhu received two more punches, and then only the sound of "clang, clang" was heard as more than a dozen pieces of things were scattered on the deck.

...What's that sound again? The two men's hearts tightened at the sound they heard. They stared at each other for a moment, then slowly looked back with their eyes slanted. They saw a long watermark on the boat's plank. On the yellow-brown wooden planks, a few footprints were faintly visible.

Small and short, they looked like a woman's footprints. Could it be a water ghost coming ashore? The two of them shuddered at the thought. Their eyes widened when they saw the object that had fallen to the ground.

Huh? They were ancient coins. Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the round coins that had fallen to the ground and squatted down to examine them carefully. She saw several ancient copper coins, engraved with a pattern of flying dragons and phoenixes, with a small square hole in the center.

This is quite different from the "Holy Song Yuanbao" she found next to the shipwreck in the sea last time...

"How did this thing fall out?" The tall and thin man looked around in panic, and seeing that no one seemed to have noticed, he hurried to pick up the thing.

They took great risks to hide these things secretly. If they were discovered by others, they would be in trouble... When Lao Zhou thought about the possibility of being discovered, he didn't care too much. Things like women's footprints, water ghosts coming ashore, and being discovered by the boss for hiding things were simply not worth mentioning.

"Brother Zhou, the boat awning, it, it broke by itself..." Xiao Wang took two steps in a daze, looked at the boat awning, then at the ancient coins on the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.

"It's broken, so come and pick it up. Why are you wasting time? If you keep yelling, everyone will come over here!" Old Zhou turned around and pulled Xiao Wang. He saw that the young man's eyes were dead and his mouth was wide open, and he was very dissatisfied.

Really, these young people are so easily startled! Even if there really is a water ghost, so what? Can it eat them? The most important thing right now is not to let the leader find out, otherwise they might not even be able to become water ghosts...

"It's gone, it's all gone..." Xiao Wang stared blankly ahead, making a few painful noises from his mouth.

"What's gone?" The thin man suddenly had an ominous feeling.

...Haha, they're all hers. Cheng Zhenzhu smiled slightly, flicked her sleeves, and collected all the scattered ancient coins into her space.

I have to say, it feels so good to reap the benefits without any effort!

Cheng Zhenzhu ignored the young man on the boat who was looking at her with a stiff gaze and his breathing seemed to have stopped. She waved to the turtle and without any reluctance, headed straight for the largest ship on the sea.

She went to see if there was anything she could find on the big ship...
