"Did you really dig this out from under the water?"
Qian Sheng was stunned.
"Of course it's true."
Erwazi stuffed the silver coin into his collar with a proud look on his face.
Lin Yi and the others were completely dumbfounded now.
The market value of "Xi Wang's reward money" has declined since the national team's operation to salvage "Jiangkou Sunken Silver".
Erwazi's diving ability alone was enough to impress them.
On the way here, Bai Lu once told her experience of interviewing the "Jiangkou Chenyin" excavation site.
One is to catch up with the dry season, and the other is to draw water from the dike, which greatly reduces the difficulty of excavation.
Especially when it comes to pumping water from embankments, anyone other than the national team who dares to do it blatantly will lose their head.
In the past, some people did snorkel here and picked up some ancient coins, but most of them were the currency issued by Zhang Xianzhong in the Xichuan area - "Dashun Tongbao".
Although there are not many in existence, they are not rare enough.
Now, the national team has "sifted" everything here, and almost everything of value has been harvested.
But judging from the quality of the silver coin around Erwazi's neck, it would only take a few months at most to get out of the water.
"Old Lin, isn't this guy really bragging?"
Lin Yi secretly shook his head.
This was the first time they met, and they only chatted for less than ten minutes. They were not familiar with each other, so there was no need for Erwazi to lie to them.
All I can say is that his water quality is truly outstanding.
Now think about that meaningful smile when Fifth Brother and the ship's boss returned to the cab.
All of this may have been explained by Mr. Chen, or it may be a favor that Fifth Brother deliberately sold to them.
In short, they are in great need of talents like Erwazi now.
"It's not that we don't believe you, it's mainly because those of us from the north have never seen the capabilities of your people. This is living water, and the situation underwater is so complicated and changeable."
"The day when labor and management first learned to walk, the old man took me to the river to swim."
When Erwazi heard that Lin Yi seemed to be questioning his water nature, he immediately became serious.
"Hey, you kid, who do you think you are?"
Wang Qiang was about to go up and teach him a lesson, but Lin Yi stopped him.
"That's their mantra here."
Wang Qiang suddenly turned around in embarrassment, still muttering in his mouth: Damn, you really have reached someone else's territory, and you will be shorter than ever.
Lin Yi leaned against the guardrail and stood next to Erwazi. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Erwazi.
Erwazi didn't refuse, he took it directly and lit it, turned over lightly, jumped onto the guardrail, and sat facing the river.
"It's not that we don't believe you, but we just want to broaden our horizons. How about we make a bet?"
With that said, Lin Yi took out a bracelet from his pocket.
The bracelet is made of Hetian jade seeds. The material is not top-notch, but it is still worth several thousand yuan.
When he came out this time, he specifically asked Qian Sheng to bring some cultural relics, antiques and other small items, just thinking that he would need them someday, so he would treat them as a personal gift.
Yesterday while eating hot pot, I secretly stuffed an emerald Guan Erye pendant into my fifth brother.
The fifth brother was also a man who knew the goods, so he smiled and accepted it without changing his expression.
"What's the bet on?"
"This is a bunch of Hetian jade seeds. The market price is at least two to three thousand yuan. I will throw this thing off the boat and count it after dozens of times. You go into the water and fish it out, and it will be yours. ”
Although Erwazi has been running boats all year round and has not done much research on jade, he has also heard about the value of Hetian jade seeds.
Even if you don’t understand jade and don’t like jade, you can get an object worth several thousand yuan for free by going into the water. If you don’t do it, you’d be a fool!
Erwazi jumped off the railing, took a long puff of cigarette, and flicked the cigarette butt out.
His lung capacity is truly amazing.
Lin Yi lit the cigarette earlier than him and still had half a cigarette left. When he took a puff, the cigarette had already burned to the filter.
"Okay, keep your word!"
"Of course it counts."
Lin Yi stretched his hand out of the railing, and the bracelet plopped into the water.
"Ten, nine, eight"
He was counting down the time here leisurely, and Erwazi was also taking off his clothes and pants leisurely.
"one!"
"Plop~"
Erwazi jumped on the railing and jumped into the water. After a few splashes, he disappeared.
The boat didn't move very fast, but ten seconds passed and the jade bracelet fell into the river. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.
"I guess it's hanging. This bracelet is just a big thing. The river water is turbid and the visibility is too low."
Wang Qiang stood on the side of the boat, holding on to the railing with both hands, occasionally sticking his head out to take a look, for fear that he would get seasick again after looking at it for too long.
"I also feel a little hung up. This jade bracelet won't float on the water. I guess it will have almost sunk to the bottom by now. If I cover it with the sand I brought up, what can I see?"
Qian Sheng also shook his head and sighed.
Bai Lu felt even more incredible.
"Even if I were to wear a scuba and professional lighting tools, I might not be able to find it."
Before she could finish her words, she saw waves surging in the water, and a black loach-like figure emerged from the river surface.
He stepped on the water with his feet to maintain the balance of his body. He stretched out his hand to wipe the water on his face. His other hand suddenly stretched out from the water. What was sliding between his two fingers was the jade that Lin Yi had just thrown into the water. Bracelets.
Erwazi grinned at Lin Yi and the others, showing his white teeth. He put the jade bracelet on his wrist with both hands and mouth, and then dived into the water with a sudden movement. Not long after, he heard a burst of noise from the boat. Sound.
He grabbed the hemp rope on the side of the boat and returned to the deck.
He raised his arms towards Lin Yi and the four of them.
"As agreed, this thing belongs to labor and management."
Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
Wang Qiang, Qian Sheng and Bai Lu were all dumbfounded.
"Is this the black fish becoming a spirit?"
"Are you so outrageous? That's just the way Baitiao is in Langli!"
"Brother, you are really awesome, really, I'm convinced!"
Erwazi looked back and forth at the Hetian jade on his wrist with a proud expression on his face.
When he went to the dormitory to change clothes and came out, Lin Yi threw a cigarette away.
Erwazi reached out to catch it, and the expression on his face had relaxed a lot.
"How is this thing of mine?"
"How can labor and management recognize these things? Take them back to make my paralyzed old man happy."
"your father"
"He's paralyzed. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after drinking alcohol. After being rescued, he became paralyzed."
Lin Yi originally wanted to ask some questions, such as why you didn't go to school at a young age, and why you did such a hard life as running a boat, but now he can't ask a single word.
"I have an opportunity to make money here, do you want to do it?"
"How much can you earn? Let's see."
Erwazi blew out a smoke ring casually and asked disdainfully.
Lin Yi made a "six" gesture to him.
"Six hundred dollars?"
Lin Yi shook his head.
"Six thousand yuan?" Erwazi began to have a look of surprise on his face.
Lin Yi shook his head again.
"Sixty thousand?"
Erwazi looked at Lin Yi with wide eyes.
"Six figures!"
