He Muyang was in charge of driving the boat while Liu Jun was doing the preparatory work.
Last night, He Muyang and Liu Jun discussed what to do. Today, they went out to sea.
"Liu Jun, we're here. This area should be the one with the most sinking.”
"Alright, wait on the boat. I'll go down.”
"Be careful. If it's really not easy to fish, then forget it.”He Muyang said nervously.
"Don't worry, Uncle He. I can definitely do it.”
Liu Jun put on his periscope and diving boots. He fell back and dived into the water.
The water in Deep Town Bay was not deep. The deepest part was only about 20 m, and that was where there were trenches. Liu Jun was diving at a depth of about 6 m.
However, the waves here were not small. It was no wonder that those who escaped from the port could not hold on here.
After a person drowned, they would sink first. After a period of time, their body would be filled with decaying gas, and they would float up again. The seawater here was flowing, so Liu Jun didn't see many rotting corpses below.
He didn't care about the naked bodies. Instead, he started to look for traces of plastic sheets.
Those who escaped from the port would basically wrap their valuables in plastic bags and tie them to their bodies with ropes.
After so many days, the rope had long rotted and broken.
Liu Jun searched around for a long time before he found a plastic bag. He opened it happily.
Damn, there were only a few tattered clothes and Hong Kong dollars that had been soaked by someone.
How unlucky!
Liu Jun complained. He threw the plastic bag away and began to search the side again.
………………
At this moment, He Muyang was waiting anxiously on the ship.
Every few minutes, he would listen to the windpipe in his hand to see if there was any sound of exhalation.
Fortunately, he could hear the sound every time, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
"It's been two and a half hours. Why hasn't this damned kid come up yet? I'm so anxious.”
Pa!
A fish suddenly smashed into He Muyang's face, causing his body to sway a little.
"Uncle He, how is it? Is this fish fresh enough?”
" Pui, pui, pui…" He Muyang spat out a few mouthfuls of saliva. He had opened his mouth just now, but the tail had slapped his mouth.
"Liu Jun, stop teasing your Uncle He. Come up quickly. The sea is cold.”
Liu Jun grabbed the rope that He Muyang threw down and got on the boat with a force.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Liu Jun took off his diving bag and threw it at He Muyang's feet.
"Uncle He, take a look for yourself."
He Muyang squatted down and untied the ropes on the diving bag. He picked up the bottom of the bag and shook it twice. The things inside the bag fell out.
"Whoa, this is quite a big harvest. 12 small yellow croakers and 50 Yuan Datou. Sigh…Liu Jun, which country is this money from?”
He Muyang untied a small oilcloth bag inside and poured out the money inside.
"That's British pounds. According to the official exchange rate, it's about two yuan. However, if you exchange it in Xiang City, one yuan can be exchanged for more than 17 Hong Kong dollars.”
"Don't mention our exchange rate. It's just to fool people. Pui…1, 2, 5, 8, 15…28…35. Liu Jun, we're rich. There are 35 pounds here, and all of them are 100.”
Liu Jun took a pound note from He Muyang and looked at it carefully. It was issued in 1960. The pound note issued in 1960 could flow into the country, and the amount was so large. It seemed that the unlucky person who died was not a simple person.
"Liu Jun, we're rich. There are 3500 pounds, 700 US dollars, 2600 Hong Kong dollars, and more than 1000 RMB here. 12 Yellow Croakers and 50 Yuan Datou.”
After He Muyang finished counting, he shouted excitedly.
"Uncle He, we're not even there yet. There's still quite a lot down there. I was just afraid that you'd be worried, so I came up first.”
"There's no hurry. Rest for a while and drink some white wine to warm your body.”
"Yes."
Liu Jun rested for a while and went down to board the boat. He Muyang drove the boat back to the shore and stuffed the diving bag into a basket. The two of them hid and walked towards He Muyang's family.
"Liu Jun, count them clearly."
"The second trip doesn't have British pounds, but it's 1000 US dollars, 4200 Hong Kong dollars, 15 small yellow croakers, and 2 large yellow croakers, 900 RMB.”
"Our harvest today is 3500 pounds, 1700 US dollars, 6800 Hong Kong dollars, 17 small yellow croakers, 2 large yellow croakers, 55 Yuan Datou, and 2152 RMB.”
After He Muyang finished speaking, he looked at the money on the table and asked,"How?"
"You can take the pounds and gold to the other side and exchange them. We'll split the rest.”
"What about Big Head Yuan?"
"Big Head Yuan isn't worth much now. Uncle He, if you believe me, you should leave him at home first. He might be worth some money in the future.”
"Of course I believe you. Now that Big Head Yuan can't be sold at a high price, you don't have to fish it up next time.”
"This is yours. Big Head Yuan will give you one more.”
After He Muyang finished counting, he pushed half of the money to Liu Jun. Liu Jun took out 800 RMB from it and pushed it to He Muyang.
"Uncle He, use this 800 yuan to pay for my house. Don't go to the village all at once. Just say that it's money sent from my family.”
The big yellow croaker weighs 312.5 grams and the small yellow croaker weighs 31 grams. The gold content is slightly less than the thousand gold, about 991.]
