She thought about it with me. This thing was made of leather and was probably the other half of the incomplete navigation chart. "I don't know, I'll open it and take a look."
I untied the rope tied on it and opened the sheepskin scroll directly. When I opened it, the pattern displayed inside confirmed Li Xin's statement and of course my thoughts. This was indeed a picture.
The nautical chart, and on the left side of this nautical chart, there are some obvious damages, which are exactly opposite to the damaged areas of the previous nautical chart, which can form a sharp contrast.
"Oh my god, it is indeed a nautical chart. It seems that this is the other half." When Jenny spoke, her eyes almost lit up.
Mr. Mai suddenly appeared at this time and said, "Here, compare it with this and you will know."
He handed me Jenny's previous navigation chart. After I opened it, I put the two incomplete navigation charts together. When the two incomplete navigation charts were merged, we were all surprised.
The two incomplete nautical charts were completely merged into one, which means that this itself is a complete nautical chart, but it was separated by others. Jenny had never said anything about the other nautical chart before.
We didn't even know this thing existed.
This so-called going out to sea to salvage sunken treasures is obviously a pretense. Now I believe what the old Taoist priest said to me before he died. He asked me to be careful about the person next to me, but this person will
Who is it? It seems I have to pay more attention.
"Great, this is indeed the other half of the aerial drawing. I didn't expect that we actually found it." Jenny's eyes changed as she spoke, and she became very excited. It was obvious that she had known for a long time that she was going to the island this time.
Purpose.
"It seems that this thing is our purpose of going to the island." Jiao Ba said lukewarmly.
Before everyone understood what was going on, Mr. Mai suddenly said, "Zhongyi, please put away these two navigation charts. We can talk about the details after we are rescued."
I didn't have time to look at the navigation chart carefully, so I quickly put it away. When the others saw that I had put it away, they all dispersed.
Jenny was lying on the raft now and said, "I need to take a rest, I'm so tired."
In the end, Mai Lao left two people to paddle, one was himself and the other was a big man. The others lay down to rest. After we had rested, we got up and replaced them.
The raft we built was not particularly large, so we were very crowded lying together, and we couldn't get too close to the edge and drift in the sea. The raft was undulating, and people sleeping on the edge could easily fall into the sea.
Originally, there was a resting shed set up in the middle of the raft, but it could only accommodate three people at most. Naturally, the two women were allowed to rest in it first. We old men, who were strong, had no choice but to find a place to rest.
At this time, the sun was almost disappearing from the sea level. I was lying on the raft, looking at the gray sky, thinking about random things in my mind, not knowing when I would be rescued.
Since going to sea, except for Da Man and Shun Zi who got a few pieces of antique porcelain, everyone else has found nothing. Thinking about it, it’s really frustrating. The only thing I don’t regret is that everything I have experienced so far, I want to
If I hadn't gone out to sea together, I might never have known that there are so many things in this world that science cannot explain, and they still exist.
I was so tired that my whole body was almost falling apart. I closed my eyes and fell asleep amidst the rocking of the raft and the gentle sea breeze.
I don’t know how long I slept. When I opened my eyes, it was completely dark. There were no stars, and there was no moonlight. There was nothing but darkness around me. I had a very solid sleep, and I didn’t even have any dreams.
, I feel much more comfortable all over.
I sat up and glanced at the people next to me. Mr. Mai and the big man had already fallen asleep, while Jenny, Li Xin and others were still asleep.
Now it is Mantou and Changshan who are paddling. They say they are paddling, but in fact they are standing guard. Paddling does not have much effect. We can only go along with the waves. This kind of makeshift raft
, it is already a miracle that it can carry nine people adrift on the sea.
"Zhongyi, are you awake?" Chang Shan said hello to me after he saw me getting up.
"Well, I'm up, what time is it now?" I glanced at the diving watch, but I couldn't see clearly clearly, it seemed to be twelve o'clock.
"It's almost twelve o'clock, how are you? Did you sleep comfortably?" Chang Shan asked me with a smile. It seems that the diving watch has returned to normal again, and everyone's time is the same.
"Well, it's not bad. If you're tired, go take a nap and I'll paddle."
I stood up and was about to walk over when Chang Shan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I just got up not long ago. Are you hungry? There is food here."
When he said this, I really felt a little hungry. My stomach was so empty that I just started to growl.
Chang Shan knew it when he saw me like this. He asked Mantou to throw the food to me. I took it and saw that it was actually two raw fish, about ten centimeters long. Although they were dead fish, they still looked very fishy.
fresh.
"Don't worry, it's very fresh. Shunzi and Jiaoba got it by going to the sea at night, but... you can only eat it raw, and that's what we all eat too. There's no other way. The environment is difficult, so just make do with it.
.”
Chang Shan was not worried at all and always had a smile on his face. He was the kind of man who was not afraid of danger and could even enjoy hardships. Such strong men were rare even in the army.
I tore open the fish body, and tore off a piece of fish meat, put it in my mouth, bit it into pieces and swallowed it. The raw fish meat was very fishy, and the smell was very strong, especially this kind of sea fish, which most people couldn't stand.
"How's it going? It's hard to swallow, isn't it? I almost spit it out when I ate it just now. Damn it, this is really a return to primitive society." The steamed bun rowed and cursed in his mouth.
I tore off another piece of fish and put it in my mouth, "Fortunately, I've eaten it before when I went to sea. It's nothing. You'll get used to it."
When we were in a shipwreck, Shunzi and I ate raw sea fish. After many years, I can still adapt to this harsh environment. Surviving in adversity requires not only courage, but also calmness.
"Hey, tell me, when will we be rescued? If we keep floating in the sea like this, if we encounter any sharks or sea monsters, then we will all die in the sea."
Steamed Bun was very scared. Although I couldn't see his eyes clearly, from his voice, I could feel the trembling fear of everything around him.
Chang Shan paddled opposite him and said, "There's no such thing as a sea monster. Don't keep scaring yourself. We will be rescued soon."
Just when Chang Shan finished speaking, a strange "woo woo" sound suddenly came from the surroundings...
