Chapter 350 Strange Cloth Bag
Chapter 350 Strange Cloth Bag
Could it be gold too?
But why is the gold wrapped in a piece of cloth?
Fu Wan was full of questions, and then her men carefully untied the knot on the cloth.
As an experienced fisherman, Fu Wan was quite familiar with all kinds of rope buckles, but the rope buckle on this cloth bag made her hit a wall.
At first she thought it was a simple rope buckle, but after trying for a long time she found that the rope buckle was very mysterious. The process of untying it was actually the process of tying another rope buckle. Fu Wan spent a long time trying to untie it, but not only did she not untie the cloth bag, her back also broke out in sweat.
There was no other way, so she simply picked up the cloth bag and held it in her arms, planning to get on the boat first.
Of the three hawksbill turtles, only the old turtle was still holding up the worn-out shell. Fugui and Huakai had long since disappeared.
Fu Wan patted the old turtle's back twice to say goodbye, then swam quickly towards the surface of the sea with her catch.
This time it took her much longer to surface than before, which was also because she dived much deeper than before.
After surfacing, Fu Wan did not look for her own fishing boat immediately. Instead, she first checked the surrounding environment and then memorized the location firmly in her mind.
"Awan, come up quickly!"
Boss Fu, Fu Ming and the other two had been getting anxious on the boat for a long time. The key point was that they were not as good at swimming as Fu Wan. They were afraid that they would not be able to help after going down, and would even cause trouble for her.
Boss Fu was the first person to discover Fu Wan surfacing, so he immediately shouted excitedly.
Fu Wan looked over when she heard the sound and saw that her own boat was not very far away. She simply kicked her legs and swam over.
"Awan, come up quickly! What's the situation down there?"
"Are you tired? Can you still come up?"
Before Fu Wan could answer, Boss Fu pulled her up, and Fu Ming next to him hurriedly handed her the dry towel in his hand.
After taking it, Fu Wan simply wiped the water off her face and head, then untied the net bag rope around her waist.
"I'm not tired, but look at what this is?!"
Fu Ming took the net bag without knowing why, because when he looked from the outside, he saw a thick bunch of water plants in the net bag.
But when he opened the net bag, he noticed something was wrong.
"Oh shit!"
"Why are there gold bars? Awan, did you really find the place?"
Fu Wan nodded, "That should be correct. There is indeed a shipwreck on the seabed."
"What, there really is a shipwreck?!"
Fu Ming exclaimed in surprise. He was extremely envious. Treasure hunting in a shipwreck was a story they had heard since they were young.
The old people in the village used to talk about it in a magical way. When they were young, they dreamed of going on an underwater adventure one day, but when they grew up, they just regarded it as a fairy tale.
Unexpectedly, there really was a shipwreck, and Fu Wan happened to see it.
"Awan, what exactly happened to the shipwreck?"
Boss Fu took the cloth bag from Fu Wan's hand, and without looking at it carefully, he put it aside.
Fu Wan had no intention of hiding it, as there was no one else on the boat except her family.
So she told the general situation of the shipwreck in detail. As for the location of the shipwreck, she was not sure how to describe it, and only said that it was in the direction where she had just set out to sea.
As for how she found that place, she certainly didn't elaborate.
After all, the idea that turtles lead the way is too mysterious.
Not only are the flowers of wealth and glory blooming, but with the addition of the sea turtle ancestor, these three hawksbill turtles are almost like spirits. If this gets out, it will not be a good thing.
Maybe it will cause them unnecessary trouble.
So Fu Wan would just briefly explain these matters to whomever she was talking to.
"What do you think of the thing down there?"
Boss Fu pondered for a moment and asked, after knowing that there were countless gold bars and gold bricks underneath, it would be a lie to say that he was not tempted.
But he was also very conflicted. He had seen what the New China looked like, and the things below could indeed ensure his family's wealth and prosperity in the future, but at the same time, if he gave them to the country, it would probably help it avoid a lot of detours.
The most important thing is that this thing has been coveted by the Japanese. If they swallow it all, who knows if it will bring about fatal disaster.
It's okay to make a small fortune occasionally, but if you want to make a big fortune, you have to weigh the risks.
"Dad, we can't take this thing. It's too risky."
Those gold bars and gold bricks before were nothing to worry about. They were all rewards for helping the ancestors in the sea, or they were just opportunities that I encountered.
But she was too lazy to mess with the well-packed wooden boxes below.
When Fu Ming heard that everything below had to be handed over, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Awan, are you handing them all in?"
"Why don't we salvage a couple of boxes ourselves first?"
Thinking about the things below, it may not be an exaggeration to say that they are priceless.
If I could get a few dollars, I would probably have no worries for the rest of my life. But in the end, I came all the way here just to watch the fun. Anyone would feel a little uncomfortable about that.
"Brother, think about it, if you take these things back, will you be able to sleep well?"
"According to my guess, I estimate that these things must have been looted by the Japanese invaders when they invaded our area. They may even be stained with the blood of our relatives. Tell me, how can we take them back and make a fortune?
A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. We are not short of food and drink now, so there is no need to take these things back against our conscience.
Besides, many of the gold bricks underneath have marks on them. If we bring this back and don't process it in time, or if the news leaks out, and the Japanese come to cause trouble, aren't you afraid?"
Fu Ming stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not afraid of the devils, but I'm not concerned about the things below either."
He was also a man who listened to advice, but the reason he didn't want those things was not because he was afraid of the Japanese.
The same went for Fu Liang. When he heard Fu Ming say this, he nodded his head like pounding garlic.
"That's right, we are not afraid of the devils!"
Seeing Fu Ming and Fu Liang's performance, Boss Fu nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, what is this?"
Fu Ming put the gold bars in his hand aside, and his attention was attracted by the cloth bag that Boss Fu placed beside him.
It was just at this moment that the sun finally came out from the clouds, and the sunlight fell on the deck, just happening to sprinkle on the cloth bag next to it.
There were actually a lot of gold threads on the silk cloth, and when it was illuminated by the sunlight, it not only regained its luster, but also became dazzling.
"By the way, there's this thing too."
Fu Wan quickly handed over the cloth bag, "Dad, look at this knot. I can't untie it no matter how hard I try. I dug this thing out from the mud on the seabed."
Boss Fu took the thing and weighed it several times, "This thing is quite heavy!"
He frowned and began to untie the rope buckle.
After several minutes, Boss Fu's forehead was covered in sweat, and the rope buckle was still there.
"Why don't we just cut it open with a knife!"
Fu Liang took out a sharp knife, but Fu Ming quickly stopped him, "No, this piece of silk is really beautiful."
Fu Liang also agreed with this. In fact, he was reluctant to part with it. Look at the glittering gold thread on it. This was the first time he had seen such silk cloth.
Not to mention it feels really good to the touch.
"Why don't I give it a try!"
Fu Ming volunteered. Boss Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the cloth bag over.
The rope buckle was complicated, but after more than ten minutes of effort, Fu Ming managed to untie it.
Fu Wan gave him a thumbs-up, and then spread out the entire cloth as quickly as possible.
But as soon as the whole cloth was opened, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Oh my god, why does this look like a jade seal?!"
