    When he heard that there was a fight among the crew members, Lu Wan's expression darkened, while Feng Shijie sighed helplessly, but neither of them wasted any time and immediately followed the crew member who reported the news and ran towards the location of the fight.

    In fact, although the crew members are strictly prohibited from fighting privately, fights are often prohibited. This is mainly due to the reason mentioned earlier, that is, after living in a relatively closed place like a ship for a long time, the crew members will develop irritability.  Symptoms of irritability may lead to casualties due to trivial matters, 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 to mediate their emotions, but cannot eradicate them at all. Therefore, fights among the crew are common along the way. As long as no one is killed, Lu Wan usually doesn't care.  .  But what I mentioned above is that on the ship, generally after arriving on land, the mood of the crew members will get better, and they must strictly abide by the rules set by the captain, so basically no one dares to fight privately after landing. Today it is Lu Wandi  This happened once.

    The place where Erhanzi and the others were fighting was in the camp that had just been set up. However, when Lu Wan arrived, the fighting people had been separated, and Liu Kata was yelling at the fighting people.

    "What's going on? Why did they fight?" Lu Wan walked over quickly, glared at Erhanzi and the others, and then asked Liu Kata.

    "Captain, please look, they are fighting because of this." Liu Kata smiled bitterly after hearing this, then stretched out his hand to hold something in his hand and said, only to see that in his hand, he was holding something the size of a child's fist.  A sky blue gemstone, this gemstone looks crystal clear and very beautiful.  Although you can't tell what kind of gem it is, if you sell it, you should be able to get a lot of money.

    "Where did this gem come from?" Lu Wan asked with a solemn face.  He saw that although the gem was beautiful, there was still some dirt on it, and it looked like it had just been dug out of the ground.

    "Captain, I dug this gem out of the ground, but the cripples said that whoever saw it had a share, and they insisted that I share half of it with him. Of course I refused. As a result, we started fighting!" Hearing Lu Wan's question  , Erhanzi, who lowered his head, was the first to speak.

    But as soon as he finished speaking, a young man standing next to him with some weak legs and feet rushed to speak: "This pit was dug by us brothers together, we can't just dig out the gem because of you idiot. This  All the gems must be yours, right?"

    As soon as the lame man opened his mouth, several other people involved in the fight also started shouting. As a result, Lu Wan couldn't understand what was going on. Now he was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Shut up, everyone, tell me one by one."  !¡±

    Seeing the captain getting angry, the fool and the cripple no longer dared to be presumptuous and told the story obediently.  It turned out that they were after hunting.  Erhanzi and Laizi were divided into a group and were responsible for digging deep ditches for cooking. However, while they were digging, Erhanzi suddenly dug out a blue gem.  And it seems to be worth a lot of money. Originally, it was dug out by Er Fool, and it should belong to him, but the Crips and others also contributed to this ditch.  So I wanted to get a share of the pie, but Erhanzi refused.  As a result, they started to quarrel, and eventually it even got violent.

    After hearing what happened, Lu Wan was angry and resentful. This matter was originally a confusing matter, and everyone's words were reasonable. If either party could take a step back, I'm afraid this matter would not have developed to this point.  kind of situation.

    Thinking of this, Lu Wan said angrily: "You two idiots, lame guys, you two are taking the lead in making trouble. You are not allowed to eat tonight. Please reflect on it. As for other people involved in the fight, tonight's dinner will be halved!"

    Lu Wan's punishment was not severe. In the past, a private fight would have been severely punished. Both parties would have to receive at least a dozen whips. But now they are going to find gold mines, so it is not suitable for punishment. In addition, if they fight  As for the whip, in this hot weather, it is likely to cause infection and inflammation, which may lead to death. Moreover, even if there is no inflammation, a small amount of medicine will be consumed, so considering these aspects, he can only  Use a light punishment.

    Regarding the captain's punishment, Cripple and the others did not feel it was unfair, but Erhanzi said with a smile: "Captain, the punishment is nothing, but will this gem be returned to me?"

    In fact, it¡¯s not that Erhanzi is greedy for money, it¡¯s just that he is getting married this time when he returns and is saving money desperately. Although he has saved a lot of money, Erhanzi is an honest person and always wants to let his bride  Since Zifeng has prospered, the more money, the better, so as long as there is a chance to make money, he will not let it go.

    Hearing that Erhanzi was still thinking about the gem, Lu Wan went up angrily and wanted to kick him, but before he could make a move, Feng Shijie, who was next to him, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Wan and said: "Captain, calm down, Erhanzi doesn't want this piece."  What treasureStone? Then you might as well give it to him!  "

    After hearing what Feng Shijie said to Erhanzi, the cripple and others over there were unhappy. They were about to say something, but Feng Shijie smiled and said again: "If brother lame is not satisfied, then I, Feng Shijie, will be a good person."  , I¡¯ll just find you a few more pieces!¡±

    As soon as Feng Shijie's words came out, everyone was stunned. From what he meant, it seemed that the gems in Lu Wan's hands were like ordinary stones on the ground and could be found easily.  But although they didn't know what kind of gem Erhanzi found, looking at its crystal clear appearance, it must not be an ordinary item, right?

    Lu Wan is a very smart person. He heard some unusual meanings in Feng Shijie's words, and asked with some doubts: "Shi Jie, do you know what kind of gem this is?"

    Hearing that Lu Wan also called that thing a gem, Feng Shijie couldn't bear it anymore. He laughed loudly and said: "Captain, you are all deceived by the appearance of this stone. This is not a gem, it is just an ordinary piece of stone."  It¡¯s just cowardice!¡±

    "Courage alum?" Erhanzi and the others were confused after hearing this. They had never heard of this name before, but Lu Wan liked reading. He seemed to have seen this name in some book, but they didn't have a deep impression.  Can't remember what it is.

    Seeing that they still didn't understand, Feng Shijie smiled again and said: "Captain, my family has been making a living from carving for generations. What I use the most are various stones and wood. Although I can't inherit my father's business,  But I also learned a little from my father, and I know a lot about various stones, so I can tell at a glance that this is just a piece of alum."

    When Feng Shijie talked about the craftsmanship passed down from his family, he couldn't help but think of his father who had no idea whether he was alive or dead. He felt a little sad in his heart. He sighed and then said: "Although this alum looks beautiful, it is not a gem. It is not even a stone. As long as it is  If you put it into water, it will melt immediately. If you put it in the hot sun, it will turn into powder, so it can't be carved at all. However, I heard that it can be used as medicine, but it doesn't seem to be worth a lot of money!"

    Hearing Feng Shijie say that the 'gems' he dug were not valuable, Erhanzi was shocked and said: "Thishow is this possible? How can such a beautiful gem be worthless?"

    The lame man is more sober than the stupid man. He knows that Feng Shijie has no reason to lie to him. Moreover, he is a stonemason and has been dealing with stones for generations, so he will not be mistaken.  Thinking of this, he and the people around him looked at each other. If they had a fight over a worthless stone, they would be laughed to death by their brothers in the fleet.

    Seeing that Erhanzi didn't believe it, Feng Shijie stopped explaining immediately and went directly to the side to pour a bowl of water. Then he walked up to Lu Wan and said: "Captain, since Brother Erhanzi doesn't believe it, you might as well put the stone in your hand to  Try it in the water and see if it melts as soon as it enters the water as I said?"

    Lu Wan didn't expect Feng Shijie to have this kind of ability, but he was also very doubtful about what Feng Shijie said. After all, in his opinion, even if the piece in his hand was not a gem, it was still a stone after all. He had never  I have never heard of any stone melting when put in water.

    Lu Wan also wanted to confirm Feng Shijie's words. When he saw the other party bringing the water, he immediately put the 'gem' into the water. In the blink of an eye, the piece of bile alum the size of a baby's fist disappeared without a trace.  At the same time, the water in the bowl turned blue.

    Seeing this situation, Lu Wan said again with a smile: "Actually, this bile vitriol is similar to table salt. It looks very hard, but in fact it is very afraid of water. Of course, if brother Erhanzi wants it, I will  You can also make it come out of the water, but this is too troublesome. Why don't I find you a few more pieces? As long as this gall alum appears, there will never be only one piece."

    Hearing Feng Shijie's words, Erhanzi looked at the bowl of blue water with some distress, but thought that although this thing was beautiful, it was not valuable at all, which made him scratch the back of his head and laugh twice.  Said: "If I had known this was a worthless thing, I wouldn't have fought with Cripple and the others!"

    "Bah, I'm blind too. I got into a fight over such a piece of shit. It's so damn worthless!" The lame man spat out bitterly.  As a result, the words of the two of them made Lu Wan and the others laugh. Life in the fleet was boring, and now the two fools had made such a big joke, which was enough for them to laugh at each other for a while.

    However, Feng Shijie did not laugh anymore when he heard what the two of them said. Instead, he lowered his head and walked while carefully observing the stones on the ground. After a while, he saw him picking up a crystal clear piece of courage from behind a big stone.  Alum, but this piece is much smaller, only the size of a bean.

    And then Feng Shijie didn't stop, and started to search in circles. In the end, within a short time, heI found a lot of bile alum, but the particles were relatively small, with the largest being no more than the size of a thumb.

    Seeing Feng Shijie¡¯s strange behavior, Lu Wan couldn¡¯t help but said: ¡°Shijie, since these things are worthless, why did you spend so much effort picking them up?¡± (To be continued)
