"Tie the rope securely before you go down, and don't stray too far from our boat," Fang Yuan instructed the group.
"Yes!" the group quickly replied.
"Don't worry, I'll take them down."
Xu Jiaheng said something and led a few skilled divers down to rescue the people.
Several of these people are pearl divers, the kind of amazing people who can hold their breath underwater for more than ten minutes.
"Master, the city lord's diving skills are not as good as mine, yet you let him go?"
Xu Liu watched as Xu Jiaheng led his men into the water, and he felt somewhat worried.
"Don't worry, I gave him something to save his life. Besides, it wasn't me who was here!"
In fact, most of the crew members on these ships are skilled swimmers.
Even if they encountered hurricanes and waves, after discovering that the stern of the ship had broken, did they still choose to jump into the water and then quickly swim to the nearest ship in front or behind?
"Master, a few people are swimming towards us." Xu Liu also noticed the people swimming towards them from not far away.
"Lower the driftwood and rescue everyone!" Fang Yuan replied softly after glancing at the scene.
She originally intended to save people.
Her attention was focused on Xu Jiaheng the whole time.
Soon, all seven people who swam to their side were rescued.
"Thank you very much, Captain Fang!"
"Thank you, Captain Fang!"
"·····"
These people all thanked Fang Yuan one after another.
"It's alright, you can go inside and clean up first, we can talk about the rest later."
Fang Yuan offered a word of comfort to the group, then looked at Xu Qi:
"Find them some rooms to wash up and rest."
"Yes," Xu Qi replied hastily.
Then he led these people to find a few empty rooms.
They have plenty of rooms on their ship; one room is enough for each of these people.
Just as these people were being taken down to rest, Xu Jiaheng brought back a man who had fallen into a coma.
"Why did you bring back someone who was unconscious?" Fang Yuan asked.
Only after seeing the man's face did Fang Yuan recognize him: "Is this the boat owner?"
She had greeted this person before she planned to leave with them.
The You family owns five ships in this fleet, making them a major shareholder!
“Yes, he’s not a good swimmer and he choked on water and passed out.” Xu Jiaheng frowned.
The person he rescued seemed to be lifeless. Could it be that his rescue was in vain?
He went to great lengths to save this guy.
Fang Yuan quickly stepped forward to investigate and nodded:
"There's still a pulse. Turn him over and place him on your lap with his head down. Press on his back and see if he can vomit water..."
She directed Xu Jiaheng to perform first aid on him.
The man woke up quickly and started coughing violently.
"Boat owner, are you alright?"
Fang Yuan looked at the man who had just woken up and asked him with concern.
"Cough cough cough~ Captain Fang? Thank you... cough cough, thank you for saving me." You Chuan thanked Fang Yuan after he recovered.
He had already seen his great-grandfather while he was in the sea.
He was extremely grateful to Fang Yuan for giving him the chance to come back to life.
"You're too kind, boat owner. We're from the same fleet, how could I stand by and watch someone die?"
"No matter what, thank you very much this time. I, You Chuan, owe you my life!" You Chuan replied solemnly.
He could swim, but he was unlucky and got knocked unconscious by a piece of boat plank.
"It's quite windy and rainy outside. Would the boat owners like to go inside and rest first?" Fang Yuan asked.
You Chuan staggered to his feet and looked out at the sea. The ship, which had sunk more than halfway, filled him with heartache.
"I don't know if my men can be saved..."
His ship was beyond saving, but his crew were all veterans, the foundation of his maritime business.
He wanted to try to save him!
"Don't worry, boat owner. I rescued seven people earlier, and many of them went to the boats ahead. Your people should be fine."
Several boats were nearby, and these people were all good swimmers, so there was naturally no problem.
You Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's good, that's good. I'll trouble Captain Fang for now. I'll go back to my other ship when the sea breeze stops."
He stopped being coy; he was covered in seawater and definitely needed to recuperate.
"No need to be so polite, boat owner! Please!" Fang Yuan gestured for Xu Liu to step forward.
"This way, please, boat owner. Please go inside and change your clothes. Hot water will be brought to you shortly."
Xu Liu, being sensible, stepped forward and led the way while talking to him.
After You Chuan left, Fang Yuan chose a room, went inside, opened the window, and continued to watch the sinking merchant ship.
Seeing the ship sink into the sea, she quickly took action and stored it in her spatial storage.
Just a glance at the ship from the outside was enough to lift her spirits.
After the storm outside had passed, she took Xu Jiaheng back to the Crystal Palace.
"You've taken this ship in?"
Xu Jiaheng looked at the broken ship floating in the air and asked in surprise.
"That's right, wouldn't you say I got a bargain?"
Fang Yuan looked at the ship in a good mood.
She had already looked around and saw that the hold was full of cargo, and now all of that stuff was hers.
"I just didn't expect you to act so quickly, but since you have Crystal Palace, this fortune should have been yours anyway."
Xu Jiaheng hurriedly flattered Fang Yuan.
Although he hadn't gone aboard, he knew from the ships' draft that each one was almost fully loaded.
These items are also quite valuable.
"That's right, I saved their ship owner, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask for a reward, is it? Come on, let's go inside and take a look."
As Fang Yuan spoke, he led Xu Jiaheng into the cabin.
Although the boat had taken on water, she drained it all out when she entered the space.
So the boat is a little wet, but there is no water inside.
The upper decks of the ship were filled with food and drinks, showing that the ship owner knew how to enjoy life.
The cargo hold at the bottom of the ship was filled with all sorts of densely packed boxes and cabinets.
After looking around, Fang Yuan reached out and opened a box, which was filled with gold bars.
They opened several in a row, and they were all gold bars.
Even Xu Jiaheng was somewhat amazed by the sight of all this gold.
"There's so much gold in this ship, no wonder it sank so quickly after taking on water."
"Yes, if there were fewer items, it might not have been so heavy," Fang Yuan replied in a good mood.
“You’re really lucky; even this kind of fortune comes to you,” Xu Jiaheng said.
"That's right, I've always been lucky."
Fang Yuan continued to inspect the other items while speaking.
Besides gold, there were also whole chests of pearls, gemstones, coral, exquisite ceramics...
Unfortunately, many of the porcelain pieces were broken, but fortunately, more than half remained intact.
"These dishes don't match, so let's use them for eating."
Fang Yuan picked out the good ones while speaking to Xu Jiaheng.
"Okay!" Xu Jiaheng nodded.
No matter how precious these things are, how can they compare to the Crystal Palace in Fangyuan? They're just right for dining.
Moving to the back warehouses, there were some sealed ceramic jars and some long strips wrapped in waterproof cloth.
Surprisingly, these pottery jars didn't break. Upon inspection, it was discovered that they were all secured with ropes.
"Let me see what this good stuff is!"
With the idea of opening a blind box in mind, Fang Yuan did not use his mental power to investigate.
My initial glance only revealed that there was a lot of stuff inside.
Once the earthenware jar was opened, a rich aroma of tea wafted out.
"This is top-quality black tea, much better than yours. Smell it!"
Fang Yuan then told Xu Jiaheng to smell the aroma.
