After dinner, it was still early, the sunset glow in the sky was flickering, the evening breeze was very gentle, Lu Ao fell asleep quickly while lying on the deck chair.
Song Zhou went inside and brought him a piece of clothing to cover him, opened the book and read it while guarding him.
Lu Ao slept very deeply, like a baby, and his whole body exuded a peaceful breath.
The rest of the fleet were busy fishing for killer crabs.
The killer crabs that Lu Ao gave them were enough to try, but not enough to feast on. They were sure that there were killer crabs at the bottom, and now everyone was eager to try, trying to catch a few of them like Lu Ao and the others.
Their fleet has been out to sea for several days, and everyone is a bit tired. At this time, fishing for killer crabs just happened to relax here, and no one was in a hurry to leave.
Everyone will park the boat here to rest for a night, and set sail again tomorrow, so people will be more comfortable.
Lu Ao slept outside for a while. After waking up, there was still a sunset glow in the sky, but it was almost dark, and the stars in the sky could be seen.
Lu Ao stretched his waist, sat up and looked at Song Zhou. Song Zhou was still reading beside him. He had already read three quarters of his book, and only the last few dozen pages were left.
Lu Ao yawned and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"There's nothing wrong with the left and right, let's sleep for a while." Song Zhou smiled, "What are you going to do now? Go diving in the sea or wait for them to sleep?"
If they fell asleep, they could directly transform into dragons and dive into the sea.
"Let's wait until they fall asleep. I think they are almost done. Have everyone boarded the boat?"
"No. Just went down a wave half an hour ago, and there are still people who don't give up and want to catch killer crabs."
"Did they know there are caves in the sea?"
"I didn't tell them, should I tell them?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's so dangerous there, and they will deliver food when they go, why don't we just play on the bottom of the sea and see if there are any killer crabs coming out to look for food."
After Lu Ao finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the distant sky.
Summer is here, and the stars in the sky are particularly bright. They can see the stars clearly if there is no pollution from other light sources at sea.
Song Zhou continued to read and didn't bother him to be in a daze.
After nine o'clock in the evening, the captains of the last gang of killer crabs finally came back with two killer crabs, fulfilling their desire to catch killer crabs, and there was no more struggle.
Today, basically everyone has been diving in the sea for a whole day, and they were very tired. As soon as they got on the boat, they greeted each other and went back to sleep in the cabin.
Sitting on the deck, Lu Ao could hear clearly, watching them enter the cabin one by one, and then the light sources in the cabin went out one by one, and the whole sea returned to tranquility, except for the sound of the wind.
He turned to Song Zhou and said, "It seems to be okay, we can prepare to go to sea."
"Then let's drive the boat far away so they don't see it."
"Okay, let me tell them first, so that they don't have to look for it. We will drive the boat over there later, and there happens to be an island over there that can block the view, so they shouldn't be able to see us."
Song Zhou nodded.
Lu Ao went into the cabin and started the boat.
Their boat sailed slowly away from this sea area, the other boats were quiet, and most people had already fallen asleep.
After the boat sailed for more than ten minutes, they couldn't see the boat behind them at all. Obviously, there was a distance between the two sides.
Lu Ao took off his clothes on the deck, jumped directly from the deck, and changed back into a dragon shape the moment he entered the water.
When he entered the water, there was a big splash, and the splashing sound even shocked the fish looking for food nearby to flee to the distance.
Lu Ao drew his dragon claws in the sea and said, "The water here is a little colder than the water in our ocean ranch. Maybe it's farther away from the shore, and the water temperature is more stable."
Song Zhou asked: "Is there still a cold current flowing here?"
"I feel that there should be a confluence of cold and warm currents near here. This place is where the cold current passes. It seems that the place where we went into the sea this afternoon is a warm current, and the water temperature there is higher."
Song Zhou jumped off the boat and floated onto his back like a fallen leaf, "Then shall we still dive?"
"Dive!" Lu Ao said, "It's hard to come to this strange sea area, so I have to go down anyway to see if there is anything delicious underneath, and seize the opportunity to try something new. Have you sat down yet? I will Downstream."
"Sit down, I'll give you a flashlight."
Lu Ao responded and drove him downstream.
He pressed into the water, causing a big ripple.
After going underwater, the water is much quieter. His eyesight in dragon form is much better than that in human form. Even if there is no light source, he can see clearly underwater.
There are many fish around, but there is no delicious fish, Lu Ao glanced at it, and continued to swim downstream without interest.
The place where they are diving now is actually not the same place as in the afternoon. This side is a few kilometers away from that side, and the water depth is also deeper.
Lu Ao dived slowly, and when he dived below 70 meters, he began to rely on the light of the flashlight. There were still a lot of fish near this depth. Lu Ao caught a sapphire and put it in the fish guard that Songzhou carried with him. inside.
The goal of their dive now is to find stonefish.
The bottom of the sea is so big, I don't know if I can find it.
Lu Ao intuitively chose a direction to continue downstream, and they swam for about 5 minutes before they touched the bottom of the sea.
Lu Ao wanted to ask what the current depth was, Song Zhou stretched out his wrist, and pointed to the diving watch on his wrist to show him that it was already at a depth of [-] meters underwater.
This depth is already very deep, and there are basically no human visits in normal times.
Lu Ao looked around, but couldn't find any traces of humans.
He took Song Zhou to continue swimming to the side, and there were few fish nearby. Lu Ao searched for a long time, but he didn't find the fish they wanted to eat, but found traces of underwater caves.
It seems that the scope of this karst cave is very large, but it is not known whether the karst cave was formed when the underwater volcano erupted, or it was formed on land, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea as the geology changed.
Lu Ao wandered outside the cave for a while, very curious about the cave.
Song Zhou gestured to him, asking if he was going?
Lu Ao hesitated for a while, then nodded and told Song Zhou that he wanted to go.
It was the first time they encountered an underwater cave, and there should be no danger in the cave. Lu Ao was just very curious about the situation inside, and he wanted to take a look.
Anyway, they have flashlights, and if they encounter any difficult fish, they simply take it home to cook.
In fact, this karst cave is not much different from the karst caves on land. After entering from the intersection, the size of the karst caves inside is not regular. The only difference from the land is that there is a lot of silt in the dragon cave here. The local silt is at least half a meter high.
They continued to swim along the passage of the cave and passed a place. Lu Ao found that the terrain behind the cave seemed to be higher. The further they swam, the more they found that the water level in this place was dropping.
This is actually a very incredible thing, because this is the bottom of the sea.
It stands to reason that no matter what kind of cave there will be seawater pouring in, but miraculously, there is no seawater pouring in this cave.
Lu Ao thought for a while before he figured out the key point. This may be a karst cave inside a seabed mountain. The karst cave channel below is undulating up and down. Because some sections of the road are higher than both sides, the sea water cannot flow in.
They walked through the cave and swam forward for hundreds of meters. The seawater in the cave channel became less and less. Finally, Lu Ao couldn't swim anymore. He changed back into a human form and walked forward hand in hand with Song Zhou.
"This situation is too weird. I never thought there would be such a place under the sea."
Song Zhou looked around with a flashlight, "The world is so big, there are many surprises. Let's walk slowly. It's too humid here, and I feel that the oxygen content is not very sufficient."
"It's okay, I can hold my breath better now, and I'll be fine if I hold my breath for more than ten minutes." Lu Ao said, "I feel that this cave should have been formed when it was on land, and I saw traces of water erosion."
"Maybe, we are going to look forward."
The two walked forward together hand in hand for more than half an hour. Lu Ao felt that they went up for a long time and then down for a long time on the road of the cave.
During this walking process, they have not seen traces of humans.
Maybe when the cave was formed, there were no people in this area, or there were not many people, and no traces were left in the cave.
The cave was so big that they stayed in it for more than an hour.
When the cave was filled with water again, Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of dark and quiet environment gave people too much psychological pressure. Even if he was not human, even if Song Zhou was around, he still felt a little shocked.
"It's great to be able to come out. I thought there would be something interesting inside, but there is nothing there."
"You can't say that there is nothing. Didn't you see a few fish? There are also fish with no eyes at all, which may be a new species."
"I feel the same way. I have seen so many fish this year, but I have never seen the fish we just saw. It should be a new species."
Song Zhou smiled and looked at him, "Do you want to take a few up for scientists to study?"
"Forget it, this is their human business, we will not get involved."
Lu Ao is very open-minded now.
He changed back into a dragon shape, and his huge body filled the entire cave. He turned his head to look at Songzhou, "Come on, let's continue swimming."
Songzhou asked: "Then let's go back to the place where the stonefish was caught this morning?"
"Alright, let me take a look, it seems to be that direction, then let's swim in that direction now."
Lu Ao swam forward with Song Zhou on his back, but before swimming a few meters, he suddenly saw something reflecting light in front of him.
Song Zhou was shining a flashlight on his back, and when Lu Ao looked back, the huge dragon eyes turned around, flexibly gesturing to him to shine the flashlight in that direction.
The two lived together for such a long time, Song Zhou understood what he meant by looking at his eyes, and turned the flashlight over there.
Lu Ao followed the light of the flashlight and swam forward, and after a while they swam to the reflective place he had just seen.
There was a lot of mud on the bottom of the sea, Lu Ao took a look at the reflective place, but found nothing.
He wandered around the neighborhood for a while, but he didn't see anything special.
It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk at the bottom of the sea, Song Zhou understood what he was looking for, and followed him on his back to look for it.
The two searched for a while but couldn't find any mystery, so Lu Ao had no choice but to continue swimming.
When he swam more than ten meters away, he turned his head and looked back again, and this time he saw the shining thing again.
This thing is so strange, Lu Ao feels that it may be irregular, one side is reflective, and the other sides are not reflective, they may have to find the right angle to see it.
Song Zhou also saw it, and he was holding a flashlight on Lu Ao's back.
Lu Ao took a closer look, remembered the position of the luminous body, and then led him to swim forward.
Back to the original place again, Lu Ao didn't care where the thing was this time, he just stretched out his claws and stirred in the pile of mud.
As soon as his dragon claw touched the mud, he immediately felt that there was something hard inside, and he took that hard thing out.
This thing is quite big, and it is quite heavy in the dragon's claws. Lu Ao was a little surprised, and felt that the thing in his hand seemed to be a stone.
But it's not surprising, there are caves next to it, and it's normal to have stones here. The reflective thing he saw just now may be that the stone was crystallized by high temperature when it was formed, and the mirror surface was reflecting light.
Lu Ao took out the stone, shook it in the sea water, and checked its condition curiously.
Song Zhou shined the light with the flashlight.
When the light shines over, the stone is fully illuminated.
Lu Ao soon understood that this was not a stone, or rather not an ordinary stone, its color was so special, it was actually yellow and golden!
One side of this stone has small holes like a honeycomb, which looks very strange.
The other sides were sharp and angular, and the other side was very round. Lu Ao grabbed it with his dragon claws.
Dragon Claw easily squeezed the stone into a shape.
The texture of this thing is too soft, not as hard as ordinary stones at all, Lu Ao almost immediately realized what it was, it was gold!
The famous dog head gold!
Lu Ao was really surprised. He knew he was lucky, but he didn't expect to be so lucky that he could even find gold in the bottom of the sea!
This is still real gold, a product of nature, not some dynasty treasure left by a shipwreck.
Lu Ao stared at the piece of gold in his hand with big long eyes.
The widest part of this piece of gold is at least 40 centimeters, and the narrowest part is also [-] to [-] centimeters. The shape of the whole piece of gold is irregular. Except for one side that may be particularly rounded by frequent washing by water, the other sides are angular. , like some ordinary stones.
He had read related reports about gold before, and knew that the dog's head gold in nature is not a pure metal, and may contain quartz or other impurities in it. However, even if it is not pure gold, its weight and size are enough to be valuable.
Lu Ao made a simple estimate, this piece of gold is worth at least a few million!
Even if you pick up money at random, paper money of the same size is not worth as much as this piece of gold!
That's money in the sky!
Song Zhou also saw it, and waved his hand to signal him to bring the gold up first.
Lu Ao nodded and hurriedly swam over to him.
Halfway through the swim, Lu Ao suddenly realized that he turned around and swam into the muck again, then stretched out his dragon claws to stir it, and soon he met another hard object in the muck.
This hard object was lighter than the dog's head gold on his paw, but it was also quite large. He stretched out his paw and squeezed it. This hard object was also hard and soft, at least he could easily pinch it when he stretched out his paw. Out of traces.
No need to take it out, Lu Ao can almost conclude that this is another piece of gold!
When he took it out and took a look, the golden color and texture clearly told him that it must be a piece of gold, and he already had two pieces of dog's head gold in his hand so far.
The combined weight of two pieces of dog head gold is at least fifty or sixty catties. Such a large gold is not uncommon in nature, but it is particularly rare in China.
Lu Ao swam towards Songzhou with two pieces of gold in his dragon claws, his eyes full of joy.
Song Zhou climbed onto his back again, and the two of them headed for the sea.
It took them at least an hour to get down, and only a little over ten minutes to go up.
The physical fitness of both of them is very good, maybe because they are non-human, they are not afraid of rapid changes in pressure, and they don't have to worry about the pressure causing them harm.
As soon as Lu Ao returned to the sea, he couldn't wait to throw two pieces of gold onto the deck.
When the gold fell on the deck, there was a heavy "boom" sound. If his deck hadn't been repaired last year, using strong new materials, these two pieces of gold alone could have smashed the deck into a hole. Come.
"Listen to this voice, doesn't it feel very good?"
Lu Ao climbed onto the deck with four paws and quickly changed back to human form. He didn't even bother to wear clothes. He held the two large pieces of gold in his paws, and looked at Song Zhou with bright eyes, "It's the first time I'm alive. Such a large piece of gold is still gold in nature! Isn’t this very rare in nature?”
"It's not particularly rare, but relatively few. They are all deep underground, and they rarely have the opportunity to come to the surface."
Lu Ao said: "That's because I'm very lucky. I can find this kind of thing even after diving in the water. You said we sell this gold, can you sell it?"
Song Zhou said: "Of course you can, it's just that you don't go to the regular market. If you want to sell it, I'll let someone take you to sell it. Many non-humans will bring some gold or gems when they first come to human society. We have a fixed program to help sell these gold and silver jewels in a relatively hidden way."
Lu Ao didn't expect such a thing to happen, and his eyes couldn't help being amazed.
Song Zhou looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you want to sell?"
Lu Ao nodded quickly, "Yes!"
After finally getting so much gold, it must be sold.
With so much gold, Lu Ao was very happy to think that it could be exchanged for money.
Song Zhou was also happy, but that kind of happiness was no different from picking up a shell and catching a fish.
Lu Ao was completely different. A great joy surged in his heart. It was the first time he encountered such a windfall since he was a child. He had never had such good luck when buying lottery tickets before.
Lu Ao put the gold on the deck, surrounded the gold, looked left and right, but no matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly remembered, and quickly put the gold to Songzhou's side, saying, "Look at these two pieces of gold, and I'll go down to have a look. I found these two pieces of gold in that small area." , and look for it again, maybe there are still ones down there, just wait a moment, I'll come up right away."
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Zhou wanted to call him back.
Lu Ao's whole heart is now occupied by great joy, and he doesn't care about Song Zhou's expression at all.
He changed back into a dragon shape, jumped to the side, jumped directly into the sea, and quickly disappeared on the surface of the sea.
Song Zhou originally wanted to catch up and give him a flashlight, but he didn't need it at all, so he grabbed the flashlight with his rear right paw and ran away.
After more than 20 minutes, Lu Ao came up, and the two dragon claws in front were holding a huge piece of gold. Seeing Song Zhou on the deck, he threw the gold onto the deck and said happily: "This is another piece. There are still ones underneath, you look first, then I'll go to the bottom to look for them."
Song Zhou can also see now that he just wants to get a few more pieces of gold. Even if the sum of these golds is added up, it is not as much as one percent of the deposit in his bank account.
"Okay, I'll watch here, you go, do you want to accompany you?"
"No, just look at the gold, and don't let other people in the fleet see it, or it will be difficult to explain when the time comes."
It's hard for his head dazzled by money to remember to avoid other people and not let others see it.
Song Zhou smiled and waved to him.
Lu Ao wagged his tail happily and disappeared on the sea again.
For the next five hours, he kept repeating the process of going up and down, holding one piece of gold in his front paws.
These gold pieces come in all shapes and sizes, the big ones are bigger than their armchairs, and the small ones are only the size of footballs.
There are 39 pieces of gold scattered on the deck, large and small.
Putting the last piece of gold on the deck, Lu Ao's whole dragon was exhausted. He slumped limply on the deck, turned his stomach up, looked at the starry sky above his head, and murmured: "Forget it, I don't care, really too tired."
Song Zhou went over to help him massage, "Who told you to work so hard?"
"If you don't fight, you can't do it. There are too many golds in the bottom. I thought that this kind of mineral deposits can only be found on land. I didn't expect that there are more in the sea. They are waiting for people to pick them up one by one. If I knew there was so much gold in the sea, last year I How about going directly to the sea to pick up gold instead of desperately fishing?"
"How could I have known earlier? Besides, now that you know that there is so much gold in the bottom of the sea, do you still want to raise fish?"
Lu Ao thought about his words seriously, nodded, "Nurture!"
"Didn't you say that after you have gold, you don't want to fish? Logically speaking, after you have gold, you shouldn't want to raise fish even more? Fish farming is so hard, and there is no benefit."
Lu Ao's eyes were shining brightly, reflecting the stars in the sky, and he said happily: "But I am a dragon, if I don't raise fish, why should I scoop up so much gold? I can't use it all up."
Song Zhou wanted to laugh when he heard what he said, he pinched him for a while, and patted his stomach, "Okay, quickly change back to human form and take a bath."
"I'll take a rest." Lu Ao slumped on the deck and murmured, "I'm too tired."
Song Zhou touched his forehead comfortingly, and lightly pressed his fingers, Lu Ao only felt a warm current flow in along his forehead, flowing to his limbs and bones, and his fatigue almost melted away at once.
With this warm current, his dragon form was slowly shrinking, and finally turned into a human form lying on the deck.
Song Zhou pulled the clothes next to him and covered him, and stretched out his arms to hold him inside to take a bath.
Lu Ao was used to being hugged by him, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He was hugged today, but he hurriedly struggled to get down. He pointed to the pile of gold on the ground and said, "Leave me alone, look at the gold first."
"Who knew there was gold on our deck in the middle of the night?"
"This matter is uncertain. If someone uses a satellite to see it in the sky, we'd better move the gold in first."
Seeing this, Song Zhou had no choice but to say: "I'll send you in to take a bath and I'll move out. You take a bath first, and I should finish moving after you finish washing."
"Then I'll wash it quickly and come out to help after washing."
"No, you go take a bath. You have been soaking in sea water for so long today, so soak in the bathtub for a while longer to warm your body before coming out."
"It's okay, I haven't soaked in the sea for long, besides, are you still there? I will hold you to sleep later, and I will warm up soon."
Song Zhou patted his buttocks, "I'm so talkative at this time, hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to tell where your gold is later?"
Threatened by him, Lu Ao hurried in to take a bath. When he ran in, Lu Ao looked back at the gold on the ground, saw the gold all over the ground, and bent his eyes happily.
Fishing for gold is physical work, and Lu Ao was so tired, he went to the bathroom and was soaked in warm water, and soon fell asleep.
Song Zhou packed up the gold and came to see him sleeping unconscious in the bathtub, so he had to pull a bath towel from the side, picked him up and wiped him clean, and sent him to sleep in the bed.
Lu Ao was very familiar with his lover's breath, and he didn't intend to wake up at all when he was hugged. He turned around and rubbed against his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until dawn, and was awakened by a burst of fragrance the next morning.
The aroma is very familiar, it smells a bit like some kind of fish soup.
Lu Ao smelled it and felt that the fish soup was like Sumei soup, but later he felt that it was not. He rolled around on the bed for a while, and finally planned to get up to have a look.
Stepping on the ground with bare feet, he pulled the bathrobe on the chair and put it on, and tied the belt casually.
He dressed and went out, and when he got to the kitchen, he found that Song Zhou was cooking, the steam was wafting from the pot, and a strong fragrance wafted up.
Lu Ao went over and lay down on his back, resting his chin on his shoulder, "What do you make for breakfast, it smells so good!"
Song Zhou turned his head and motioned to him, "Didn't you say you want to eat stonefish porridge? This is it." "Where did the stonefish come from? Didn't we catch stonefish yesterday?"
"I went into the sea to catch it this morning." Song Zhou said lightly, without mentioning the hard work in the morning, as if there were stonefish everywhere in the sea, just waiting for him to go into the sea to pick them up. "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat breakfast."
Song Zhou went inside and brought him a piece of clothing to cover him, opened the book and read it while guarding him.
Lu Ao slept very deeply, like a baby, and his whole body exuded a peaceful breath.
The rest of the fleet were busy fishing for killer crabs.
The killer crabs that Lu Ao gave them were enough to try, but not enough to feast on. They were sure that there were killer crabs at the bottom, and now everyone was eager to try, trying to catch a few of them like Lu Ao and the others.

Lu Ao slept outside for a while. After waking up, there was still a sunset glow in the sky, but it was almost dark, and the stars in the sky could be seen.
Lu Ao stretched his waist, sat up and looked at Song Zhou. Song Zhou was still reading beside him. He had already read three quarters of his book, and only the last few dozen pages were left.
Lu Ao yawned and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"There's nothing wrong with the left and right, let's sleep for a while." Song Zhou smiled, "What are you going to do now? Go diving in the sea or wait for them to sleep?"
If they fell asleep, they could directly transform into dragons and dive into the sea.
"Let's wait until they fall asleep. I think they are almost done. Have everyone boarded the boat?"
"No. Just went down a wave half an hour ago, and there are still people who don't give up and want to catch killer crabs."
"Did they know there are caves in the sea?"
"I didn't tell them, should I tell them?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's so dangerous there, and they will deliver food when they go, why don't we just play on the bottom of the sea and see if there are any killer crabs coming out to look for food."
After Lu Ao finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the distant sky.
Summer is here, and the stars in the sky are particularly bright. They can see the stars clearly if there is no pollution from other light sources at sea.

Song Zhou nodded.
Lu Ao went into the cabin and started the boat.
Their boat sailed slowly away from this sea area, the other boats were quiet, and most people had already fallen asleep.
After the boat sailed for more than ten minutes, they couldn't see the boat behind them at all. Obviously, there was a distance between the two sides.

It stands to reason that no matter what kind of cave there will be seawater pouring in, but miraculously, there is no seawater pouring in this cave.
Lu Ao thought for a while before he figured out the key point. This may be a karst cave inside a seabed mountain. The karst cave channel below is undulating up and down. Because some sections of the road are higher than both sides, the sea water cannot flow in.
They walked through the cave and swam forward for hundreds of meters. The seawater in the cave channel became less and less. Finally, Lu Ao couldn't swim anymore. He changed back into a human form and walked forward hand in hand with Song Zhou.
"This situation is too weird. I never thought there would be such a place under the sea."
Song Zhou looked around with a flashlight, "The world is so big, there are many surprises. Let's walk slowly. It's too humid here, and I feel that the oxygen content is not very sufficient."
"It's okay, I can hold my breath better now, and I'll be fine if I hold my breath for more than ten minutes." Lu Ao said, "I feel that this cave should have been formed when it was on land, and I saw traces of water erosion."
"Maybe, we are going to look forward."
The two walked forward together hand in hand for more than half an hour. Lu Ao felt that they went up for a long time and then down for a long time on the road of the cave.
During this walking process, they have not seen traces of humans.
Maybe when the cave was formed, there were no people in this area, or there were not many people, and no traces were left in the cave.
The cave was so big that they stayed in it for more than an hour.
When the cave was filled with water again, Lu Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of dark and quiet environment gave people too much psychological pressure. Even if he was not human, even if Song Zhou was around, he still felt a little shocked.
"It's great to be able to come out. I thought there would be something interesting inside, but there is nothing there."
"You can't say that there is nothing. Didn't you see a few fish? There are also fish with no eyes at all, which may be a new species."
"I feel the same way. I have seen so many fish this year, but I have never seen the fish we just saw. It should be a new species."
Song Zhou smiled and looked at him, "Do you want to take a few up for scientists to study?"
"Forget it, this is their human business, we will not get involved."
Lu Ao is very open-minded now.
He changed back into a dragon shape, and his huge body filled the entire cave. He turned his head to look at Songzhou, "Come on, let's continue swimming."
Songzhou asked: "Then let's go back to the place where the stonefish was caught this morning?"
"Alright, let me take a look, it seems to be that direction, then let's swim in that direction now."
Lu Ao swam forward with Song Zhou on his back, but before swimming a few meters, he suddenly saw something reflecting light in front of him.
Song Zhou was shining a flashlight on his back, and when Lu Ao looked back, the huge dragon eyes turned around, flexibly gesturing to him to shine the flashlight in that direction.
The two lived together for such a long time, Song Zhou understood what he meant by looking at his eyes, and turned the flashlight over there.
Lu Ao followed the light of the flashlight and swam forward, and after a while they swam to the reflective place he had just seen.
There was a lot of mud on the bottom of the sea, Lu Ao took a look at the reflective place, but found nothing.
He wandered around the neighborhood for a while, but he didn't see anything special.
It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk at the bottom of the sea, Song Zhou understood what he was looking for, and followed him on his back to look for it.
The two searched for a while but couldn't find any mystery, so Lu Ao had no choice but to continue swimming.
When he swam more than ten meters away, he turned his head and looked back again, and this time he saw the shining thing again.
This thing is so strange, Lu Ao feels that it may be irregular, one side is reflective, and the other sides are not reflective, they may have to find the right angle to see it.
Song Zhou also saw it, and he was holding a flashlight on Lu Ao's back.
Lu Ao took a closer look, remembered the position of the luminous body, and then led him to swim forward.
Back to the original place again, Lu Ao didn't care where the thing was this time, he just stretched out his claws and stirred in the pile of mud.
As soon as his dragon claw touched the mud, he immediately felt that there was something hard inside, and he took that hard thing out.
This thing is quite big, and it is quite heavy in the dragon's claws. Lu Ao was a little surprised, and felt that the thing in his hand seemed to be a stone.
But it's not surprising, there are caves next to it, and it's normal to have stones here. The reflective thing he saw just now may be that the stone was crystallized by high temperature when it was formed, and the mirror surface was reflecting light.
Lu Ao took out the stone, shook it in the sea water, and checked its condition curiously.
Song Zhou shined the light with the flashlight.
When the light shines over, the stone is fully illuminated.
Lu Ao soon understood that this was not a stone, or rather not an ordinary stone, its color was so special, it was actually yellow and golden!
One side of this stone has small holes like a honeycomb, which looks very strange.
The other sides were sharp and angular, and the other side was very round. Lu Ao grabbed it with his dragon claws.
Dragon Claw easily squeezed the stone into a shape.
The texture of this thing is too soft, not as hard as ordinary stones at all, Lu Ao almost immediately realized what it was, it was gold!
The famous dog head gold!
Lu Ao was really surprised. He knew he was lucky, but he didn't expect to be so lucky that he could even find gold in the bottom of the sea!
This is still real gold, a product of nature, not some dynasty treasure left by a shipwreck.
Lu Ao stared at the piece of gold in his hand with big long eyes.
The widest part of this piece of gold is at least 40 centimeters, and the narrowest part is also [-] to [-] centimeters. The shape of the whole piece of gold is irregular. Except for one side that may be particularly rounded by frequent washing by water, the other sides are angular. , like some ordinary stones.
He had read related reports about gold before, and knew that the dog's head gold in nature is not a pure metal, and may contain quartz or other impurities in it. However, even if it is not pure gold, its weight and size are enough to be valuable.
Lu Ao made a simple estimate, this piece of gold is worth at least a few million!
Even if you pick up money at random, paper money of the same size is not worth as much as this piece of gold!
That's money in the sky!
Song Zhou also saw it, and waved his hand to signal him to bring the gold up first.
Lu Ao nodded and hurriedly swam over to him.
Halfway through the swim, Lu Ao suddenly realized that he turned around and swam into the muck again, then stretched out his dragon claws to stir it, and soon he met another hard object in the muck.
This hard object was lighter than the dog's head gold on his paw, but it was also quite large. He stretched out his paw and squeezed it. This hard object was also hard and soft, at least he could easily pinch it when he stretched out his paw. Out of traces.
No need to take it out, Lu Ao can almost conclude that this is another piece of gold!
When he took it out and took a look, the golden color and texture clearly told him that it must be a piece of gold, and he already had two pieces of dog's head gold in his hand so far.
The combined weight of two pieces of dog head gold is at least fifty or sixty catties. Such a large gold is not uncommon in nature, but it is particularly rare in China.
Lu Ao swam towards Songzhou with two pieces of gold in his dragon claws, his eyes full of joy.
Song Zhou climbed onto his back again, and the two of them headed for the sea.
It took them at least an hour to get down, and only a little over ten minutes to go up.
The physical fitness of both of them is very good, maybe because they are non-human, they are not afraid of rapid changes in pressure, and they don't have to worry about the pressure causing them harm.
As soon as Lu Ao returned to the sea, he couldn't wait to throw two pieces of gold onto the deck.
When the gold fell on the deck, there was a heavy "boom" sound. If his deck hadn't been repaired last year, using strong new materials, these two pieces of gold alone could have smashed the deck into a hole. Come.
"Listen to this voice, doesn't it feel very good?"
Lu Ao climbed onto the deck with four paws and quickly changed back to human form. He didn't even bother to wear clothes. He held the two large pieces of gold in his paws, and looked at Song Zhou with bright eyes, "It's the first time I'm alive. Such a large piece of gold is still gold in nature! Isn’t this very rare in nature?”
"It's not particularly rare, but relatively few. They are all deep underground, and they rarely have the opportunity to come to the surface."
Lu Ao said: "That's because I'm very lucky. I can find this kind of thing even after diving in the water. You said we sell this gold, can you sell it?"
Song Zhou said: "Of course you can, it's just that you don't go to the regular market. If you want to sell it, I'll let someone take you to sell it. Many non-humans will bring some gold or gems when they first come to human society. We have a fixed program to help sell these gold and silver jewels in a relatively hidden way."
Lu Ao didn't expect such a thing to happen, and his eyes couldn't help being amazed.
Song Zhou looked at him with a smile and asked, "Do you want to sell?"
Lu Ao nodded quickly, "Yes!"
After finally getting so much gold, it must be sold.
With so much gold, Lu Ao was very happy to think that it could be exchanged for money.
Song Zhou was also happy, but that kind of happiness was no different from picking up a shell and catching a fish.
Lu Ao was completely different. A great joy surged in his heart. It was the first time he encountered such a windfall since he was a child. He had never had such good luck when buying lottery tickets before.
Lu Ao put the gold on the deck, surrounded the gold, looked left and right, but no matter how he looked at it, he was not satisfied.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly remembered, and quickly put the gold to Songzhou's side, saying, "Look at these two pieces of gold, and I'll go down to have a look. I found these two pieces of gold in that small area." , and look for it again, maybe there are still ones down there, just wait a moment, I'll come up right away."
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Zhou wanted to call him back.
Lu Ao's whole heart is now occupied by great joy, and he doesn't care about Song Zhou's expression at all.
He changed back into a dragon shape, jumped to the side, jumped directly into the sea, and quickly disappeared on the surface of the sea.
Song Zhou originally wanted to catch up and give him a flashlight, but he didn't need it at all, so he grabbed the flashlight with his rear right paw and ran away.
After more than 20 minutes, Lu Ao came up, and the two dragon claws in front were holding a huge piece of gold. Seeing Song Zhou on the deck, he threw the gold onto the deck and said happily: "This is another piece. There are still ones underneath, you look first, then I'll go to the bottom to look for them."
Song Zhou can also see now that he just wants to get a few more pieces of gold. Even if the sum of these golds is added up, it is not as much as one percent of the deposit in his bank account.
"Okay, I'll watch here, you go, do you want to accompany you?"
"No, just look at the gold, and don't let other people in the fleet see it, or it will be difficult to explain when the time comes."
It's hard for his head dazzled by money to remember to avoid other people and not let others see it.
Song Zhou smiled and waved to him.
Lu Ao wagged his tail happily and disappeared on the sea again.
For the next five hours, he kept repeating the process of going up and down, holding one piece of gold in his front paws.
These gold pieces come in all shapes and sizes, the big ones are bigger than their armchairs, and the small ones are only the size of footballs.
There are 39 pieces of gold scattered on the deck, large and small.
Putting the last piece of gold on the deck, Lu Ao's whole dragon was exhausted. He slumped limply on the deck, turned his stomach up, looked at the starry sky above his head, and murmured: "Forget it, I don't care, really too tired."
Song Zhou went over to help him massage, "Who told you to work so hard?"
"If you don't fight, you can't do it. There are too many golds in the bottom. I thought that this kind of mineral deposits can only be found on land. I didn't expect that there are more in the sea. They are waiting for people to pick them up one by one. If I knew there was so much gold in the sea, last year I How about going directly to the sea to pick up gold instead of desperately fishing?"
"How could I have known earlier? Besides, now that you know that there is so much gold in the bottom of the sea, do you still want to raise fish?"
Lu Ao thought about his words seriously, nodded, "Nurture!"
"Didn't you say that after you have gold, you don't want to fish? Logically speaking, after you have gold, you shouldn't want to raise fish even more? Fish farming is so hard, and there is no benefit."
Lu Ao's eyes were shining brightly, reflecting the stars in the sky, and he said happily: "But I am a dragon, if I don't raise fish, why should I scoop up so much gold? I can't use it all up."
Song Zhou wanted to laugh when he heard what he said, he pinched him for a while, and patted his stomach, "Okay, quickly change back to human form and take a bath."
"I'll take a rest." Lu Ao slumped on the deck and murmured, "I'm too tired."
Song Zhou touched his forehead comfortingly, and lightly pressed his fingers, Lu Ao only felt a warm current flow in along his forehead, flowing to his limbs and bones, and his fatigue almost melted away at once.
With this warm current, his dragon form was slowly shrinking, and finally turned into a human form lying on the deck.
Song Zhou pulled the clothes next to him and covered him, and stretched out his arms to hold him inside to take a bath.
Lu Ao was used to being hugged by him, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He was hugged today, but he hurriedly struggled to get down. He pointed to the pile of gold on the ground and said, "Leave me alone, look at the gold first."
"Who knew there was gold on our deck in the middle of the night?"
"This matter is uncertain. If someone uses a satellite to see it in the sky, we'd better move the gold in first."
Seeing this, Song Zhou had no choice but to say: "I'll send you in to take a bath and I'll move out. You take a bath first, and I should finish moving after you finish washing."
"Then I'll wash it quickly and come out to help after washing."
"No, you go take a bath. You have been soaking in sea water for so long today, so soak in the bathtub for a while longer to warm your body before coming out."
"It's okay, I haven't soaked in the sea for long, besides, are you still there? I will hold you to sleep later, and I will warm up soon."
Song Zhou patted his buttocks, "I'm so talkative at this time, hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to tell where your gold is later?"
Threatened by him, Lu Ao hurried in to take a bath. When he ran in, Lu Ao looked back at the gold on the ground, saw the gold all over the ground, and bent his eyes happily.
Fishing for gold is physical work, and Lu Ao was so tired, he went to the bathroom and was soaked in warm water, and soon fell asleep.
Song Zhou packed up the gold and came to see him sleeping unconscious in the bathtub, so he had to pull a bath towel from the side, picked him up and wiped him clean, and sent him to sleep in the bed.
Lu Ao was very familiar with his lover's breath, and he didn't intend to wake up at all when he was hugged. He turned around and rubbed against his arms, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until dawn, and was awakened by a burst of fragrance the next morning.
The aroma is very familiar, it smells a bit like some kind of fish soup.
Lu Ao smelled it and felt that the fish soup was like Sumei soup, but later he felt that it was not. He rolled around on the bed for a while, and finally planned to get up to have a look.
Stepping on the ground with bare feet, he pulled the bathrobe on the chair and put it on, and tied the belt casually.
He dressed and went out, and when he got to the kitchen, he found that Song Zhou was cooking, the steam was wafting from the pot, and a strong fragrance wafted up.
Lu Ao went over and lay down on his back, resting his chin on his shoulder, "What do you make for breakfast, it smells so good!"
Song Zhou turned his head and motioned to him, "Didn't you say you want to eat stonefish porridge? This is it." "Where did the stonefish come from? Didn't we catch stonefish yesterday?"
"I went into the sea to catch it this morning." Song Zhou said lightly, without mentioning the hard work in the morning, as if there were stonefish everywhere in the sea, just waiting for him to go into the sea to pick them up. "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat breakfast."
