Ye Guowei responded and then began adjusting the motorcycle.
Ye Cheng then dived down and tied up the other rope.
Then he poked his head out and gave an OK sign to the shore.
Ye Guowei and Xiao Hu simultaneously stepped on the gas, and roared—
The wheels of the two motorcycles began to slip wildly, especially since they were already on the mudflats and had such heavy loads behind them.
As soon as I stepped on the gas, mud flew everywhere, and the entire wheel got stuck instantly.
"Watch out!" Jiang Yunxiang exclaimed.
Ye Guowei and Xiao Hu lost control of their motorcycles and crashed to the ground, where both motorcycles rolled into the mud.
It didn't work.
Ye Cheng was dumbfounded.
I originally thought I could pull it with the strength of the motorcycle, but the motorcycle was too light and I couldn't pull it at all. Instead, I knocked myself over.
"Acheng, this won't work. The ground is too slippery." Ye Guowei, covered in mud, got up and shouted in a low voice towards the sea.
"Yeah, bro, this won't do." Little Tiger had a mouthful of mud, and his whole face was covered in black.
It seems that doing work is not something to be taken lightly. Ye Cheng had no choice but to swim back first.
"Cheng, a motorcycle is definitely not suitable. A large truck might work, but a motorcycle is too light." Ye Guowei, who had more experience in the job than Ye Cheng, quickly pointed out the key issue.
Ye Cheng nodded. He had seen it clearly just now. It was only because Ye Guowei and Xiao Hu accelerated relatively slowly that they were able to do that. If they had just floored the accelerator, the two motorcycles might have flipped over and started doing acrobatics.
"Brother, what do you suggest we do? This piece of wood is more than half a meter thick, six or seven meters long, and heavier than water."
After a moment's thought, Ye Guowei decisively said,
"As long as you're at sea, you'll definitely need to increase buoyancy. Did you install any floats?"
"It's installed. We've installed the floats on all our trawl nets."
"Did you pretend to be someone else on both sides?"
"You're faking it."
"Okay, tie them all to one side. As long as one end sticks up, we can pull them out easily."
Ye Cheng paused for a moment, then thought, "That seems to be true."
Damn, the experience of the working people is truly amazing.
"Don't use the motorcycle for a while, just get a few more ropes and pull it up directly."
Ye Guowei began to instruct Ye Cheng on how to do it. After listening carefully, Ye Cheng went back into the water and adjusted the float and float board.
He tried it on the seabed this time, and one of them was indeed much lighter; he could lift it up a little by himself.
After they came up, the rope split into two strands. Xiao Hu and Ye Guowei each pulled one strand, carried it on their backs, and then started to pull it up like a tow rope.
Their feet slammed into the mudflats, and with both of them pulling together, the log was moved.
"That's great!" Ye Cheng exclaimed with delight.
Then she and Jiang Yunxiang went over together and helped pull it up.
Despite its weight, the buoyancy of the seawater and the rising tide quickly pulled the log to the seashore.
Ye Guowei and Xiao Hu stopped, and then Ye Cheng pushed the cart over, with the front end touching the ground, and then together they lifted one end and placed it on the cart.
"It's done!" Ye Guowei breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the logs are in place, things will be much easier. Now all we need to do is slowly move them onto the cart, and everything will be fine.
It took the four of them almost half an hour to finally get the wood up there.
The wood was too heavy, and the ground was muddy, so it was difficult to push directly. We had to dig out the mud in front of the wheels little by little and then put wooden planks under them.
By the time they got back on the proper road, it was already 2 a.m.
After finally getting to Ye Cheng's house and unloading the truck, the four of them were exhausted.
Luckily it was late at night, so no one saw it.
"Brother, aren't you worried about leaving it in the yard like this?" Xiao Hu asked, panting heavily.
That's true.
It was nighttime, so no one saw it. But during the day, people would come and go, wondering what that thing in their yard was.
Moreover, ebony is special and can be recognized at a glance.
"Brother, do you have a plastic sheet? I'll cover it up with a plastic sheet." Ye Cheng looked at Ye Guowei.
"Yes, have your sister-in-law go back and get it, but you need to get rid of this thing quickly, otherwise the whole village will definitely hear about it."
Ye Cheng knew he had to get rid of it quickly, but even if he did, it would still be tomorrow.
Jiang Yunxiang brought over a few pieces of plastic sheeting from home, but it wasn't enough, so Ye Cheng simply pulled up some grass to cover it up as well, so that at least no one could tell what was inside unless they came over.
It was already late at night when we finished, and everyone went back to rest.
Ye Cheng slept very restlessly that night, waking up at the slightest noise, always afraid that the thing would be stolen.
However, something this heavy wouldn't be so easy to steal, even if one wanted to.
After finally enduring until dawn, Ye Cheng got up with dark circles under his eyes. He did nothing but stare at the ebony in the yard and kept checking the time.
He had to wait until 8 o'clock before calling her, otherwise he wouldn't know if this young lady was awake or not.
At 8 o'clock sharp, Ye Cheng took out his phone and dialed a number. The phone rang several times before someone answered.
"Hello, who is it?" A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, little Rou, this is your brother Ye."
The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
"Ye Cheng, stop trying to take advantage of me. What kind of Brother Ye is this? Why did you wake me up so early?" Xiao Rou said angrily. Beautiful women are usually quite grumpy when they wake up.
"Of course you must have something important to tell me, Xiaorou. Why would I dare to come to you if it wasn't something important?" Ye Cheng quickly coaxed the young lady.
"Tch!" A satisfied, disdainful sound came from the other side.
"Speak up, what's up? It's not about selling fish again, is it?"
"No way, just ask your brother to sell the fish."
"So what are you going to do? You're not thinking of confessing your feelings to me, are you?"
"Cough cough—" Ye Cheng coughed a few times in fright. Damn, this girl is fierce enough.
"No, it's about selling timber." Ye Cheng quickly finished speaking, otherwise he didn't know what she would say next.
"Selling timber?!" A piercing scream came from the other end of the line. "You're asking me to sell timber this early in the morning?"
“Listen to me, it’s definitely not ordinary wood. Have you ever heard of ebony or Oriental Sacred Wood? It’s something that takes millions of years to form. You’ve never seen it before, have you? It’s good for calming the mind and warding off evil.” Ye Cheng deliberately spoke in a mysterious tone.
Xiaorou is a free spirit and has a great interest in the unknown. If you don't say it like that, she definitely won't be interested.
"So amazing?" Xiao Rou's voice changed upon hearing this.
"That's right, you'll see when you come and see for yourself."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Xiaorou said, about to hang up the phone.
"Hey—wait a minute." Ye Cheng quickly called out to them. He was there to sell things, not just to have Xiao Rou look at them.
"What now?"
"You should at least bring a buyer with you."
