Hearing such great news so early in the morning, Lu Xuan almost ran all the way to the beach.
Sure enough, standing at the junction of the beach and the sea and looking east, the yacht that he was very familiar with stood upright on the beach on the east side.
He didn't need to use a telescope at all. He could see everything clearly with his naked eyes. Even the railings on the deck and the dark windows were within his sight.
"God has opened his eyes. I told you, it's mine, and it will be returned to us sooner or later. Girls, we must keep a close eye on this treasure this time. We can't let it slip away again!"
Lu Xuan didn't even want to eat breakfast. He immediately ran back to the cave, found the hemp rope, scissors, machete, and shovel, and dragged the cart to the yacht.
"Lu Xuan, should we go directly overland? Or take a small boat?"
Leng Mengyao had been following Lu Xuan for some time. He had never seen Lu Xuan so excited before. He wanted to persuade him and let Lu Xuan eat and drink enough before rushing over. However, looking at Lu Xuan's current posture, it would be considered low-key if he did not fly over directly.
"Let's not use the boat yet. Our first priority today is to tie this boat down as securely as possible."
Lu Xuan, who had learned his lesson, was determined not to let the yacht run away this time.
Dragging a cart, carrying hemp ropes and tools, the group of four rushed to the yacht.
This time the yacht ran aground closer to his cave than expected, which meant that the strong wind and rain last night had done its job and pushed the yacht at least two or three hundred meters closer to him.
You know, for every extra hundred meters, you save two hundred meters of round trip.
The four of them walked for less than half an hour and successfully arrived at the current location of the yacht.
Lu Xuan walked half a circle around the yacht. Although the entire yacht was stranded on the beach horizontally from bow to stern, it was obvious that the depth of the grounding was very shallow. The whole yacht gave people a feeling of being shaky and unreliable.
"Keyin, Mengyao, the two of you pull this cart over to the gravel field ahead and bring back a few carts of rocks. The bigger the better, the more the better. Yin Yichen, you take the shovel and collect all the sand from the beach and pile it over to the yacht."
Lu Xuan assigned tasks to the three girls, and he himself climbed onto the yacht with a hemp rope and scissors.
After a careful search at the bow and stern, we found several places where anchor ropes could be fixed, and a fairly thick anchor rope was found on the front and rear decks of the yacht.
Lu Xuan took a lot of effort to throw the two anchor ropes off the yacht.
"Lu Xuan, are these stones enough?"
Chen Keyin and Leng Mengyao had already transported back a small truck of gravel.
"That's not enough. Pour all the rocks onto the part of the hull closest to the sea. Let it sit for a while, and then help me drag this anchor rope into the jungle."
It was really difficult for Lu Xuan to drag the anchor rope by himself. After all, the cross-section of the anchor rope was as thick as an arm, and its weight could be imagined.
It took the combined efforts of three people to drag the anchor rope into the jungle.
Lu Xuan walked around in the jungle, selected three or four of the strongest palm trees, and then tied the anchor rope to the base of the palm trees.
This is a deserted island and there is no place to anchor, so we can only rely on these big trees.
One or two trees were obviously not strong enough, so Lu Xuan simply tied four together.
The three of them were exhausted and out of breath just from tying and tightening the anchor rope.
By the time the second anchor rope was fixed in place, the sun had already risen above their heads.
"Yin Yichen, stop busying yourself. Take a break and drink some water."
While he was busy here, Yin Yichen, who was digging sand on the beach alone, was also not idle. After a whole morning, he had piled up a sand hill on the beach.
"Handsome boy, look, is this sand enough?"
Yin Yichen wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed excitedly at the fruits of her labor.
"Not enough yet, but let's rest for a while. This yacht is basically doomed."
With these two strong anchor ropes in place, Lu Xuan now felt much more at ease. The next work would be the icing on the cake.
"Lu Xuan, Meng Yao and I will go back later and bring some food. We can also row the boat over here as well. I think we'll definitely have a big harvest this time."
Because they left in a hurry this morning, the four of them only brought a few bottles of water and some compressed biscuits. After doing physical work for the whole morning, they were now tired and hungry.
It is said that man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. No matter how much work there is, you must fill your stomach first.
"Okay, now that it's tied tightly, we can slowly search. I don't believe we won't find the treasure."
Lu Xuan was full of expectations for this yacht. After all, it was rented by President Leng. After boarding the boat, Lu Xuan saw with his own eyes the luxurious decoration on the boat. It had all kinds of food and drinks.
Even though they encountered a shipwreck later, Lu Xuan firmly believed that there must be a lot of valuable materials on the ship waiting to be discovered.
Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin simply filled their stomachs, said goodbye to Lu Xuan for the time being, and walked back to the cave.
Lu Xuan continued digging sand with Yin Yichen.
"Handsome boy, all this sand isn't enough, what are you going to do?"
Yin Yichen is a girl who is quite good at entertaining herself. She dug sand and built a castle for herself at the same time.
"In order to fill the bottom of this yacht tightly, I wonder where it can go this time!"
What Lu Xuan is doing now, whether it is tying the yacht with anchor ropes or dumping gravel and filling sand under the hull, has only one purpose, which is to stabilize the yacht's foundation as much as possible, ensure the stability of the hull, and facilitate his exploration and transportation of supplies.
"You stay down there, I'll go into the cabin and take a look."
Lu Xuan continued to hand over the task of fixing the external hull to Yin Yichen, and he climbed onto the yacht again, this time reaching the top deck in one go.
This was Lu Xuan's fourth time on board a yacht, but it was his first time on the top deck.
Lu Xuan climbed up the stairs at the bow and successfully reached the top deck. Since the hull was not perfectly docked at the shore, it was somewhat tilted. Lu Xuan carefully held the railing and then entered the cabin on the top deck.
What comes into view is an extra-large semi-open-air bar. Despite having suffered countless ruthless attacks from wind and waves, the scene inside the bar still gives people a glimpse of its former luxury.
Although most of the once exquisite decorations were now broken and scattered, the occasional glint of light still revealed their extraordinary origins. Especially the luxurious sofas, tables and chairs. Although their surfaces were covered with thick dust and their wooden frames were slightly mottled from long-term sea erosion, the noble temperament that emanated from them was still undiminished.
But compared to these things, what caught Lu Xuan's attention the most were the blue solar photovoltaic panels on the front of the yacht...
