Chapter 429: Sapphire?
Hearing that there was a crew fight, Lu Wan's face sank at that time, and Feng Shijie sighed helplessly, but the two of them did not delay, and immediately followed the crew who reported the news to the place of the fight.
In fact, although the crew members strictly prohibit private fighting, but the fight is repeatedly prohibited, this is mainly because of the reason mentioned earlier, that is, living in a relatively closed place on the ship for a long time, the crew will have symptoms of irritability, it is likely that because of a small matter, it will cause casualties, and even to a certain extent, these crew members dare to disobey the captain's orders.
Although Lu Wan is a good captain, he can only help the crew mediate their emotions, but he can't eradicate it at all, so along the way, it is not uncommon for the crew to fight and fight, as long as no one is killed, Lu Wan is generally lazy. However, the above is said on the ship, generally after arriving on land, the mood of the crew will be better, and they must strictly abide by the rules set by the captain, so basically no one dares to fight privately after landing, and today is the first time Lu Wan has encountered this kind of thing.
The place where they fought was in the camp that had just been set up, but when Lu Wan arrived, several of the people who were fighting had already been separated, and Liu Kata was shouting at the people who were fighting.
"What's going on, why are they fighting?" Lu Wan walked over quickly, glared at Er Hanzi and the others fiercely, and then asked Liu Kata.
"Captain, look, that's why they got into fight." But Liu Kata smiled bitterly after hearing this, and then reached out to hold something in the palm of his hand and said, only to see his hand. Holding a sky-blue gem the size of a child's fist, this gemstone looks crystal clear. It's very beautiful, although I can't tell what kind of gem it is. But if you sell it, you should be able to exchange it for a lot of money.
"Where did this gem come from?" Lu Wan asked with a calm face. He saw that although the gem was beautiful, there was still some dirt on it, as if it had just been dug out of the ground.
"Captain, I dug this gem out of the ground, but the lame man said that the one who saw it had a share, and if I had to share half of it, I naturally refused, and the result was a fight!" Hear Lu Wan's question. Erhanzi, who lowered his head, was the first to speak.
However, as soon as his words fell, the young man who was standing next to him and had some unfavorable legs and feet also rushed to speak: "This pit was dug by our brothers together, and it can't be because your second son finally dug up the gem, this gem has to belong to you, right?" ”
As soon as the lame man spoke, several other people involved in the fight also shouted, and as a result, Lu Wan couldn't understand what was going on, and he yelled loudly: "Shut up Lao Tzu, say them one by one!" ”
Seeing the captain go berserk. The second fool and the cripple no longer dared to be presumptuous, and obediently told the matter again. It turned out that after they finished hunting, Erhan and Cripple were divided into a group and were responsible for digging a deep ditch for cooking. But a few people dug and dug and dug up, and suddenly a blue gem was dug up by Erhanzi, and it seemed to be worth a lot of money. Originally, this was dug up by Erhanzi, and it stands to reason that it should belong to him. But they also contributed to this ditch lame, so they also wanted to get a piece of the pie. But the second son didn't agree, and as a result, they quarreled like this, and finally even developed to the point of doing it.
After listening to what happened, Lu Wan was angry and hateful, this matter was originally a mess, whoever said it made sense, if either party could take a step back, I am afraid that this matter would not have developed to this point.
Thinking of this, Lu Wan said angrily: "Erhanzi, lame, you two take the lead in making trouble, it is forbidden to eat tonight, give me a good reflection, as for the other people who participated in the fight, tonight's dinner will be halved!" ”
Lu Wan's punishment is not heavy, if it was placed in the past, the private brawl would be punished severely, and both parties would have to suffer at least a dozen whips, but now they are going to find a gold mine, so it is not suitable for punishment, and if it is a whip, in this hot weather, it is likely to be infected and inflamed, and if it is not good, it will kill people, and even if it is not inflamed, it will consume a small number of medicines, so from these aspects, he can only use a light punishment.
Regarding the captain's punishment, the lame man and the others didn't feel unfair, but the second man said with a smile: "Captain, the punishment is nothing, but is this gem returned to me?" ”
In fact, it's not that Erhanzi is greedy for money, it's just that he is going to get married when he goes back this time, and now he is desperately saving money, although he has saved a lot of money, but Erhanzi is sincere, and he always wants to let his bride pass through the door in a beautiful way, and the more money the better, so as long as there is a little opportunity to make money, he will not let go.
Hearing that Erhanzi was still thinking about the gem, Lu Wan angrily went up and wanted to kick him, but before he could kick out, Feng Shijie next to him suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Wandao: "Captain is angry, doesn't Erhanzi want this gem, then you just give it to him!" ”
As soon as I heard Feng Shijie help the second man say, the lame man and the others over there were unhappy, and they just wanted to say something, but they saw Feng Shijie smile and say again: "If the lame brother is not satisfied, then I, Feng Shijie, will be a good person and find you a few more pieces!" ”
As soon as Feng Shijie's words came out, everyone was stunned, listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that the gem in Lu Wan's hand was like an ordinary stone on the ground, and it could be found at will. But although they didn't know what kind of gem Erhanzi found, looking at the crystal clear appearance, it shouldn't be an ordinary color, right?
Lu Wan was an extremely smart person, he heard some unusual meanings from Feng Shijie's words, and asked with some confusion at the moment: "Shijie, the meaning of obedience, do you recognize what kind of gem this is?" ”
Hearing that Lu Wan also called that thing a gem, Feng Shijie couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed at the moment: "Captain, you have all been deceived by the appearance of this stone, this is not a gem, just a piece of the most ordinary alum!" ”
"Alum?" They didn't know what they were after hearing it, they had never heard of this name, but Lu Wan liked to read, as if he had seen this name in a book, but he was not too impressed, and he couldn't remember what it was.
Seeing that they still didn't understand, Feng Shijie smiled again and said: "Captain, the subordinate family has been carving for a living for generations, and the most used is all kinds of stones and wood, although I haven't inherited my father's business, but I have also learned some from my father, and I also know all kinds of stones very well, so I can see at a glance that this is just a piece of alum." ”
Feng Shijie talked about the family handicraft, and couldn't help but think of his father who didn't know life and death, and his heart was also a little gloomy, so he sighed and then said: "Although this alum looks beautiful, it is not actually a gem, not even a stone, as long as you put it into the water, it will melt away immediately, if it is exposed to the scorching sun, it will turn into powder, so it can't be carved at all, but I heard that it can be used in medicine, but it doesn't seem to be worth a few dollars!" ”
Hearing Feng Shijie say that the 'gem' he dug up was not valuable, this made Er Hanzi very shocked and said, "This ...... How is this possible? How could such a beautiful gemstone not be worth much? ”
The lame man was more sober than the second man, knowing that Feng Shijie had no reason to lie to himself, and he was born as a stonemason, and his ancestors had been dealing with stones for generations, so he naturally couldn't be mistaken. Thinking of this, he and the people around him all looked at each other, if they fought over a stone that was not worth a few dollars, then they would be laughed to death by the brothers in the fleet.
Feng Shijie saw that Erhanzi didn't believe it, so he didn't explain it at the moment, but went directly to the side and poured a bowl of water, and then walked up to Lu Wan and said, "Captain, since Brother Erhanzi doesn't believe it, then you might as well put the stone in your hand into the water and try it to see if it is really as I said, it melts when you enter the water?" ”
Lu Wan didn't expect Feng Shijie to have this kind of ability, but he was also suspicious of what Feng Shijie said, after all, in his opinion, even if the piece in his hand was not a gem, it was also a stone after all, and he had never heard that a stone would melt when it entered the water.
Lu Wan also wanted to confirm Feng Shijie's words, and when he saw the other party bringing the water, he put the 'gem' into the water without hesitation, but in the blink of an eye, the bile alum the size of a baby's fist disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, the water in the bowl turned blue.
Seeing this situation, Lu Wan smiled and said again: "Actually, this gall alum is similar to table salt, it looks hard, but in fact, it is very afraid of water, of course, if the second brother wants it, I can also conjure it out of the water, but this is too troublesome, it is better for me to find you a few more pieces, as long as this gall alum appears, there will definitely not be only one piece." ”
Hearing Feng Shijie's words, Er Hanzi looked at the bowl of blue water with some distress, but thinking that although this thing was beautiful, it was not worth anything at all, which made him scratch the back of his head, and he laughed twice and said: "I knew that this was a worthless thing, so I wouldn't fight with the lame people!" ”
"Phew, Lao Tzu is also blind, and he actually fought for such a shitty thing, it's really fucking worthless!" The cripple also spat hatefully. As a result, the words of the two of them caused Lu Wan to laugh, life in the fleet was boring, and now the two of them made such a big joke, which was enough for them to laugh at each other for a while.
However, Feng Shijie didn't laugh anymore when he heard the words of the two of them, but lowered his head and walked while carefully observing the stones on the ground, and after a while, he saw that he picked up a crystal clear gall alum from behind a big stone, but this piece was much smaller, only the size of a bean.
And then Feng Shijie didn't stop, and began to look in circles, but after a while, he found a lot of gall alum, but the particles were relatively small, and the largest was only the size of a thumb.
Seeing Feng Shijie's strange behavior, Lu Wan couldn't help but speak: "Shijie, since these things are not valuable, what are you doing with so much effort to pick them up?" (To be continued.) )
