Facts have proved that Yu Chengde's thinking is correct. Later that day, Yu Sibao successfully found a crack in the corner of the cabinet.

Then comes the painstaking process of prying the door. Yu Sibao took the tough crude steel thorn and spent two whole days before finally priing open a hole in the cabinet along the gap between the cabinet panels.

This mouth is not big, but it is enough for Yu Sibao to reach into his head arm.

The hard work finally came to harvest: in addition to the paperwork that had turned into mud, a lychee wooden box was then dragged out.

The box is small, but heavy. After Yu Sibao dragged the box to the deck, he first floated up for ventilation. When he dived down again, he reached out and twisted it slightly, and the delicate copper lock on the box was broken.

The box contains 12 gold ingots neatly arranged.

Each of these gold ingots of good quality is 10 taels, and even according to the gold and silver exchange rate of the Ming Dynasty, the value of 12 gold ingots is more than 1,000 taels of silver.

When Yu Sibao sent the gold ingots to the ship in three parts, everyone, including his father Yu Chengde, went crazy.

When the scene that he had imagined countless times really appeared in front of him, Yu Chengde, who had become an accident, could no longer hold back, and he announced in laughter a wish that everyone had for many years: to buy a new ship!

For 1,000 taels of silver, you can buy a 300-material boat made of hardwood. And after Yu Chengde announced this news, he naturally would not treat these guys who have followed him to the sea for many years, endured hardships together, and fought pirates together.

So he made a public promise, following the old custom of partnership among fishermen, that when the new boat was purchased, all the brothers would receive a share.

Now all the problems are gone. The elated fishermen took out the last bit of brown rice on the boat and waited for the hero, Comrade Yu Sibao, who had been stranded outside for three more days, and the others had only eaten fish since yesterday.

After eating the last bit of rice, Yu Sibao dived to the bottom of the sea again under the noon sun in September.

In the afternoon, the boy surveyed the stern of the wreck and the nearby seabed. This time there was not so much to gain: a brass telescope, six or seven fine axes and short javelins, a few pieces of blackened loose silver, a few ordinary pieces of porcelain for drinking and eating, and finally two iron balls and cannonballs, and that was all there were.

After seeing the clay pot porcelain that his son had finally fished up, Yu Chengde decisively stopped the salvage work and ordered to return tomorrow morning.

First of all, the supplies on the Herring have been exhausted, and no one can stand it if they stay any longer. Secondly, according to Yu Chengde's experience: since his own boy did not find a large amount of silver, then the wreck must have capsized here shortly after sailing with cargo.

In this case, the precious goods, such as raw silk and satin, would have been destroyed long ago; And Yu Chengde will not let his own kid risk getting into the dangerous cargo hold.

So, it's time to go back. The Qingyu's trip to sea was originally delayed for several days than usual, and the wife and daughter at home may not be worried.

So the next morning, everyone returned happily. The fishermen were grinding off the rust on their axes and debating the philosophical question of whether the new ship should be called the Herring or the Great Herring. Laughter continued on the bow of the boat until the moment they returned to the fishing village dock.

Departing at 6 o'clock, it took less than 3 hours for the Herring to complete the voyage of more than 10 nautical miles. Before 10 o'clock in the morning, Yu Chengde, who was standing on the bow of the boat, saw the dilapidated small wharf in his fishing village from a distance.

Chengwei Village is on the east bank of Putian, opposite Nanri Island. There are only 11 households and 2 fishing boats in the whole village, and it is a barren fishing village that cannot be smaller.

And when Yu Chengde, who was full of interest, saw his own wharf, he suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good - the villagers who usually came out to pick up the boat on the wharf seemed to be in the wrong atmosphere at the moment. After the boat got closer to a distance, Yu Chengde fixed his eyes and saw who was sitting on the dock with his hair scattered and crying, who was not his old wife?

After the Qingyu hurriedly approached the dock, without waiting for Yu Chengde, who jumped off the boat, to ask, his black and thin, wrinkled old wife pounced, hugged Yu Chengde's thigh and cried: "Master, why did you come back just now~ The third sister just let Wang Fuqi snatch away the one!" ”

"Why is he robbing people?!" After Yu Chengde heard the bad news, his already red face became more and more congested at this time.

"Wang Fuqi said that you have not returned for many days, and you will definitely die at sea, so he took the third sister to the 13 taels of silver that our family owes him."

When Yu Chengde heard this, his head couldn't help but feel dizzy, and then he came to his senses. Reaching behind his waist and pinching the handle of the military thorn, he turned his head through gritted teeth, and asked a man in his thirties with a simple face and long legs beside him, "Monkey, you just watched that bastard take the third sister away?" ”

The person who called the monkey smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then pointed to a large bruise on his face: "Wang Fuqi brought 5 people, and there are only a few old and weak people in the village, so they can't stop it!" ”

At this moment, a white-haired old man with a stick squeezed over. As soon as the old man came, he grabbed Yu Chengde's hand tightly and said: "Chengde, hurry up and pick the fish on the boat to Wang Fuqi to redeem the third sister, I'm afraid it's too late, that beast said that he would sell the third sister to the Qinglou in the town tomorrow." ”

At this time, Yu Chengde calmed down. I saw him take out a silver ingot from his arms and shake it: "Grandpa Ba, Chengde now has silver, don't worry." ”

After seeing Yu Chengde take out the ingot of silver, the originally apocalyptic scene suddenly quieted down. The poor fishermen suddenly had a smile on their faces the next moment, and they knew that with the silver, the third sister would be saved.

And Yu Chengde was already arranging it at this time. He first took out a piece of silver and threw it to a hunchback villager, buying the only pig in the village, and then he took out the silver to buy all the chickens in the village.

The next step is for the whole village to have a banquet.

Yu Chengde didn't know what illness he was committing today, it seemed that his money had swelled, and the whole village, including the fishermen on the boat, would be called by him, and under the slogan of "go to Wang Fuqi to exchange for the third sister after he was full", everyone began to kill pigs and chickens, wash rice and cook rice with a smile on their faces.

Just when everyone was busy, Yu Chengde quietly pulled the middle-aged man named Monkey to no one, and then he stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "Monkey, the Qianzhou people you talked about last time, but is there really such a thing?" "I want to talk about "Lvming" with more like-minded people, and talk about my favorite books with more book friends
