1435. Pirate's Box
When he returned to the hotel, Winnie was playing with her daughter on the bed. When she saw Qin Shiou coming back, she glanced at him and asked in a lengthened voice: "Why did you come back? Do you want us mother or not?"
She turned her head, and the melon seized the opportunity to reach out to her fat hand and scratched her chest, and then giggled like she got a cheaper one.
Qin Shiou pinched Winnie's pretty face from the other side. She was about to speak, but Winnie quickly stepped back and covered her face and said in horror: "Oh my God, why are your hands so cold? Just like a ghost! Don't touch me, I'm afraid of the cold..."
"Warm my hands." Qin Shiou chased after him.
Without hesitation, Winnie immediately grabbed the daughter behind her and stuffed it to him and said, "Give you a warm baby. She is very hot, even hotter than me. You can use her to warm your hands."
Qin Shiou rolled his eyes and ran to the desk to study the box.
Winnie asked curiously: "What is this?"
"I don't know, someone in the bar lost to me, saying that it was a treasure that was caught from the sea." Qin Shiou said casually. Winnie laughed at him for being deceived, then stopped paying attention and started playing with her daughter.
The box is simple in style and is wrapped in whale oil, so it is impossible to see the detailed scene inside. You can vaguely see the on it. There seem to be many complicated patterns. These whale oils have been in the cold seabed for hundreds of years and have solidified. He knocked it with his hands, making a sound.
Put the box on the radiator, Qin Shiou didn't care about it, and bake it first.
Untitled all night, and got up as usual at six o'clock. When he looked out, he saw that the night was dark and dark outside. It was probably not until nine or ten o'clock that the sun could not come out.
He had nothing to do, so he went to study the box again. It might have been too long, the water pressure in the deep sea, and the temperature was low, etc. The whale oil seemed to have deteriorated, but it was still hard as a stone after baking it overnight.
In order not to affect Winnie's sleep and Melon, he went to the living room downstairs. The old couple also got up and were busy cleaning. Xiong Da's arms were filled with biscuits. He was having fun.
Seeing Qin Shiou, the old lady smiled and said, "Young man, you got up so early. Except for older people, you probably won't get up before ten o'clock."
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "I'm used to getting up early. If you are busy, you don't need to worry about me. I'll find something to do by myself."
The boss brought him a plate of fragrant chocolate chip cookies and a cup of hot coffee. Xiong Da smelled the sweet smell of chocolate. He flexibly got up and sat next to Qin Shiou with the biscuits.
When the old lady saw this scene, her face was full of joy. She came up and stroked the big round ears of the bear and said, "Young man, your bear is so great. Do you know it is particularly smart? This is a cunning and cute little guy."
Qin Shiou looked at Xiong Da's stupid and fat face, and then looked at its small hill-like body shape. He couldn't tell where it was cunning and where it was a little guy.
He ate the biscuits in his arms in a few bites. Xiong Da stood up and shook his fur to sprinkle the biscuit crumbs on it, then pulled Qin Shiou's shoulder and stood up. He looked at the biscuits with awesome eyes.
Qin Shiou took two stuffed it and let it sit quietly, then asked the boss for a hammer, a knife and an awl, and carefully removed the solidified whale oil outside the box.
When the boss came to deliver the tools, he saw the box in his hand lit up and said, "Hey, young man, where did you get the pirate magic box?"
"Pirate Magic Box?" Qin Shiou asked strangely.
The boss smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Pirate Box, do you know the origin of the name Greenland, right? It was named by the pirates. This used to be a paradise for pirates, fugitives, and villains, do you know?"
Of course, these Qin Shiou knew. Greenland's English name is 'greeland', meaning Greenland, which was named by a pirate named Eric. He explained the reason for doing this in his diary: "If there was a moving name in this place, it would definitely attract many people to come here, so that I could do a lot of business."
Qin Shiou said what he knew, the boss nodded and said, "Then do you know where Eric's diary was found?" He pointed to the box on the table, "Pirate Box, this is the box for pirates to record important things, such as navigation logs, robbery logs, etc.."
"How do you realize that this is from the Pirate Magic Box?" Qin Shiou asked excitedly.
The boss laughed and said, "It's very simple, Vikings know. Pirate Magic Box is generally sealed with animal fat or whale oil, which can prevent waterproof and freezing, ensuring that the things inside are prevented from being corroded by sea water, moist air, etc. This is how your box is."
After explaining, the boss left and went to pack up his things. Qin Shiou asked, "Aren't you curious about the things inside?"
The boss turned around and said, "No, I'm not curious. To be honest, don't have too much hope for it. First of all, this may not be a real pirate box. In fact, many of our fishermen here will use this method to close the box; secondly, even if it's a real pirate box, these guys have written some mysterious things."
Qin Shiou still patiently opened it. He didn't have much hope, but just used this thing to pass the time.
The whale oil solidified together and was very hard, but it was also very crisp. Qin Shiou knocked and beaten for a while, and the whale oil chunks broke open, revealing the brown-black box. He carefully opened the box. There was indeed a brochure inside and a circle of gold coins.
Because it is in a high-pressure and cold environment, coupled with sea water and whale oil to isolate the air, these gold coins are different from what Qin Shiou found on the seabed in the past. There is no water rust, and it emits a golden light.
Qin Shiou glanced at it and then quietly put the box on. At this time, the fishermen also got up, and there were more people in the hall. It was not good that these gold coins were discovered.
He put away the box and opened the booklet and read it. The paper in the booklet should be also made of nitrite, soft and tough, and suddenly encountered air and was not oxidized and broken. If it were ordinary paper, it would have been exposed to the air for hundreds of years and would have been finished.
But what disappointed him was that the words used in the booklet were in Latin, which he couldn't understand or even a single sentence, which disappointed him very much.
Fortunately, he had a partner to ask for help, so he carefully photographed every page of the booklet, added photos of gold coins, and sent them to Billy and Blake, asking them to help translate it.
Neither of them were online. Qin Shiou waited for a while but no one replied. He left the hotel when it was dawn. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy. The novel is better, updated and faster!
