Chapter 10: Salvage
It was already past two o'clock when Fang Jing returned home, and the room was dark, except for the occasional slight suppressed coughing sound in Fang's father's bedroom.
Fang Jing pushed open the door of the hall, and saw a black shadow standing in front of him, and screamed out in fright, and pressed the switch on the wall with a "snap", and saw Cen Jiu standing at the door expressionlessly under the light,
"If you don't sleep at night, what kind of door god are you!" Fang Jing was taken aback, and said angrily.
Cen Jiu's gaze fell on him first, and then slowly moved to the dark courtyard outside the house, raised his eyebrows, and did not speak.
I don't know why, Fang Jing just saw the taste of ridicule in his eyes.
Every time he talked to Cen Jiu, Fang Jing was so angry that he hurt himself. In order not to affect his good mood, Fang Jing decided to ignore Cen Jiu's words, sat on the shelf bed, and began to use his mobile phone to surf the Internet.
The faint light emitted by the mobile phone screen was reflected on Fang Jing's face, just shining on his thin lips, because he had been outside all day during the day, it looked a little dry, and the shallow lip lines looked more obvious than usual.
Cen Jiu lay on the bed, looking at Fang Jing intently, his eyes looked at the phone screen in amazement for a while, and then fell on Fang Jing's thin lips that were not so lubricated, glanced at it and then took it back, and looked again after a few seconds.
Fang Jing was unaware of this, checked the recent ocean currents and tides, and also had an idea.
Anyway, he just had to make a show that the wood was fished out of the sea.
Fang Jing turned off his mobile phone and lay down on his back, his body was very tired, but his spirit was very excited, tossing and turning, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
In the dark, Cen Jiu Huer asked aloud, "What is that?" ”
Fang Jing was stunned for a moment: "What?" Do you say cell phones? For phone calls. Thinking that Cen Jiu didn't even know his mobile phone, he was afraid that he wouldn't know what the phone was, and explained: "It's used to connect people, for example, two people are far away, but they want to know each other's situation, so they use this contact." ”
"Pigeon Biography?" Cen Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's much faster than that." Fang Jing took out his mobile phone, turned it on, pointed to a number on it and said, "This is my sister-in-law's number, she lives in the city, which is where we sold fish and picked up Xiaole that day, I only need to press this button now, my sister-in-law can receive it immediately, and I can also watch the video." ”
Cen Jiu's 10,000-year-old paralyzed face was a little moved: "It's really exquisite!" ”
Fang Jing looked at his serious face a little funny, and briefly demonstrated the function of the mobile phone to him, saying, "I will give you an ID card in the future, and I will also buy you one." ”
Cen Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I call you then?" ”
"Yes." Fang Jing said.
Cen Jiu touched the delicate shell of the phone and said, "No, I'll just use you." ”
"Okay." When Fang Jing was in a good mood, his temper would also improve, and he nodded in agreement.
In view of the fact that Cen Jiu had to help implement tomorrow's plan, Fang Jing felt that it was necessary to discuss it with this little partner.
He recounted what he had seen at the bottom of the sea this afternoon: "To-morrow I am going to go to the city and rent some equipment and salvage that log, and if it is really ebony, we will be rich." ”
"Gloomy wood?" Cen Jiu was slightly stunned.
"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure yet! I didn't know until I got it, so I didn't even say anything about my parents and Xiaole. ”
I don't know why, Cen Jiu's mood suddenly became happy.
"Shall we just go fishing?" Cen Jiu said, "Don't call more people? ”
He is no stranger to gloomy wood, the coffin of the first emperor is made of a piece of fine golden silk nan ebony, in order to salvage that precious and rare ebony, Suzaku Hall lost a total of eleven secret guards, one of which is the shadow eighteen who raised him.
"It's enough to have the two of us." Fang Jing said, "You don't need to do anything, you just help me watch the boat, I'll rent a set of equipment, and the two of us can almost get it." ”
What are two people? It was enough for him alone, and now this log was lying in the palm of his hand!
Cen Jiu has been through for almost ten days, and he has some understanding of the various magics of this world, and he will not be like at the beginning, he is cautious and afraid of everything, and his mentality is much calmer, even if he hears many things that he can't understand, he only silently puts them in his heart
Moreover, what did Fang Jing say just now?
He didn't even sue Fang's father and mother about ebony, but he sued him! Does this mean that in Fang Jing's heart, sometimes he is more reliable and trustworthy than Fang's father and mother?
Cen Jiu closed his eyes with such an inexplicable joy.
Fang Jing, who was only a bed board away from him, didn't understand the subtle mood change of this dark guard brother he picked up. If he knew, Fang Jing would definitely pat Brother Dark Guard's shoulder and tell him in a serious tone, he just took a fancy to his strength.
After resting for a night, the next day Fang Jing ran to the city with Cen Jiu in good spirits, rented a small pontoon, and a set of diving equipment, even if he was alive.
They got up early, rented their things and returned to the village, and it was only ten o'clock in the morning.
Fang Jing and Cen Jiu drove the fishing boat back to the coordinates where they found the ebony yesterday, and after a day and a night, the waters had already returned to their original calm, and the blue water was sparkling, and it was completely impossible to see that there was a cruel and bloody battle here yesterday.
They first used pulleys and steel cables to launch the pontoon, watching the pontoon sink into the water, Fang Jingcai pretended to put on a diving suit and jumped into the water, swimming to the depths of the seabed, until he was sure that he could not see anything from the sea, then summoned the water bubble, tied the pontoon and the wood together, and waited until it was ready, and then withdrew the water bubble, and when he was about to swim to the sea, his eyes inadvertently glanced and saw a black dagger lying quietly on a stone on the bottom of the sea.
It looks like the one Cen Jiu killed the shark yesterday.
Cen Jiu is from the Great Qi Dynasty, and this dagger should also be regarded as a real antique.
Fang Jing picked up the dagger and swam towards the water.
Cen Jiu propped his hands on the boat gang, staring at the level expressionlessly. Suddenly, a wave began to rise on the calm water, and a man with a strange guy on his back and head and feet came out.
Fang Jing put his hands on the edge of the boat, took off his diving goggles, and smiled at Cen Jiu.
Cen Jiuyi stretched out his hand and pulled him up from the water.
Fang Jing took off his diving suit, revealing his slender and white body...... on the floral pants.
Cen Jiu glanced at it, got up and walked to the cabin.
Fang Jing didn't care that he was being looked at, he was wearing a pair of flower pants and inflating the pontoon with a compressor, as long as he thought that it wouldn't be long before he could move that ebony home, Fang Jing was full of energy.
When he was in the heat of his work, his eyes were dark, and a pair of pants flew towards him, covering his face, and he staggered and almost fell.
"What are you doing?" Fang Jing took off the pants on his face, which was quite familiar, it was the slacks he changed into before going into the water.
"Put your pants on." Cen Jiu said with a twisted eyebrow.
"It's hot, I don't want to wear it." Fang Jing wiped the sweat from his face and said disapprerovitically.
Cen Jiu: "......"
"Put it on." Cen Jiu was very persistent.
"There's no one again, I'll cool down first." Fang Jing was a little puzzled, stretching his neck to look left and right, within the range of his vision, he didn't even see half a figure, which was strange.
Cen Jiu grabbed his pants and put them on him directly, with a very tough attitude.
"You're insane!" Thinking that he could wear shorts in superhuman style, Fang Jing didn't dare to let him dress himself.
"I wear it, I wear it, can't I wear it?" Fang Jing snatched his pants and hurriedly put them on.
After putting on his pants, another piece of clothing flew to his face, Fang Jing didn't say much this time, and grabbed it depressedly and put it on.
Cen Jiu stopped talking, walked over to take over the work in his hand, and began to inflate the pontoon, doing a better job than Fang Jing.
Fang Jing grabbed the clothes on his chest, saw that there was nothing wrong with him, turned around and took the iced watermelon in the Xiaoice box in the kitchen, cut it into slices, took a slice and gnawed it himself, saw that Cen Jiu was still working hard, cut the remaining slices into small pieces, took the bowl, first forked a piece and ate it himself, and after eating, forked a large piece and handed it to Cen Jiu's mouth.
"Eat watermelon."
Cen Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at him, his gaze stayed on his moist lips for two more seconds, opened his mouth to eat, turned his head and continued to work, but the roots of his ears were a little hot.
This person is really, yesterday he kissed him inexplicably, and today he is like this, and he deliberately walks around in front of him without clothes and his arms and thighs, really-
Just thinking about it, a piece of watermelon poked in front of him.
"Grow it yourself, sweet, right?" Fang Jing said, forked another piece and ate it by himself, and then fed Cen Jiu a piece after eating.
Cen Jiu didn't speak, and the speed of his stuffy work unconsciously accelerated.
After a while, the gas was inflated.
Fang Jing moved a small table and beckoned Cen Jiu to sit down and eat watermelon. He squinted and leaned back on a bamboo chair, his shirt lifted up, and his gray slacks were loosely tied around his waist, revealing a narrow waist.
Cen Jiu aimed at him, and then at his waist, and the movement of eating watermelon was slightly faster.
Because of the anticipation, the waiting time seems extraordinarily long.
Fang Jing walked back and forth on the deck dozens of times, and then held the edge of the boat to look under the water, until in the evening, when he saw the wood slowly being raised, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finished." He drove the fishing boat and dragged the log back to shore with the help of a pontoon.
There were a bunch of people watching the excitement on the wharf, and when they saw Fang Jing driving the fishing boat into the wharf, they exchanged their heads with curiosity. In the morning, Fang Jing was in a diving suit and a pontoon, and the movement was so loud that it had already made the people in the village curious.
"Xiao Jing, why did you fish and drag back a rotten piece of wood?"
"That's right, there's no wood, and it's hard to drag it back."
"In the end, it's a young man, this trip to the sea, the rent and refueling money will be 200, and I haven't caught a single fish, so I spent money in vain."
Uncle Gen had a cigarette in his ear, stood on the dock and helped tie the ropes, and saw that there were only a few small fish on the boat, although he didn't say anything like others, he still sighed softly.
When Fang's mother heard the news, she also rushed over and complained, "Where did you pick up the rotten wood?" It's all burnt, and it can only be burned as firewood. ”
There were a lot of people in the village, so Fang Jing didn't want to say anything, so he took a few photos of the ebony, paid Uncle Gen the rent of the fishing boat, and released the gas in the pontoon, folded it, and prepared to take it home. As soon as he bent down, one hand had already stretched out, folded the pontoons in three or two times, and dragged the pontoons with one hand and followed behind Fang Jing with the other, Fang Jing wanted to get the diving suit several times, but Cen Jiu avoided it.
I always feel that since I went home yesterday, Cen Jiu has been a little weird, always taking the first step to snatch the heavier work, and not letting him do a little heavy work, too considerate.
As the eldest son in the family, whether it was when the family was rich in the past, or when the family was defeated later, Fang Jing has always been taught by Fang's father to be a man who stands up to the sky, and he has rarely been so considerate, and it feels indescribably weird.
Father Fang obviously also heard about the wood, and asked a few more questions, but he didn't think much about it, just sighed softly, turned around and comforted Fang Jing and said, "How can there be so many treasures in the world." I have taken people to the sea so many times, I have run so many places, and I have met a few times, and they are all worthless things, so I should have gained a long knowledge, which is very good. ”
Fang Jing laughed: "Dad, this wood is not ordinary wood, if it is really what I think, that piece of wood can be worth hundreds of thousands." ”
"Huh?" Father Fang was stunned.
