Jiao Ba and I returned to the cabin quietly. When we returned to the rest cabin, I paid attention to Jenny and Mai Lao's room. The cabin doors were closed tightly. Jiao Ba and I were in the cabin.
After listening with the outer ear for a while, there was no sound in Jenny and Li Xin's room.
There was a slight snore in Mai Lao's room. The old man lived with the helmsman. There was also a rest cabin where the maintenance workers and several other sailors lived. There was still nothing unusual. In fact, I knew it very well.
, Jiao Ba and I are just blind people and we are just wasting time here. What can we hear outside other people's doors? Maybe the man in black is standing behind some cabin door, and the two of us are also
have no idea.
Or he was hiding in a corner and watching us, and when we let down our guard, he would kill us directly. But this person was always conflicted in his heart, so when he heard nothing, the two of us just
Returned to his resting cabin.
There was still snoring in the rest room, and it was dark inside. I took a flashlight and looked around, and suddenly found that there was no one on Shunzi's bed. I turned my head and glanced at Jiao Ba, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Shunzi?"
Jiao Ba shook his head stupidly and said, "How could I know? He has always been fooling around with you, hasn't he?"
"Was he there when you came out?" Because I was very sure that Shunzi was still there when I left. I was afraid that as soon as I left, Shunzi would follow behind. Although I didn't want to doubt him, but in this situation
, I can’t believe anyone.
Jiao Ba said awkwardly in my ear, "I don't know either. I only paid attention to you, but I didn't pay attention to him at all."
"Fuck, hurry up and take a look." When we turned around and were about to leave, the cabin door was pushed open. I took a flashlight and took a photo. It was Shunzi. He looked sleepy and was blocking the flashlight with his hand.
It's bright light.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" I asked angrily.
"I'm going to the bathroom. What else can I do? Brother Yi, what are you two doing? When I got up, I saw that you two were gone. Huh? Why are you so wet? Have you gone into the sea?" Jiao Ba and I still said
I didn't have time to wipe myself in a hurry, Shunzi could tell at a glance.
I quickly said carelessly, "Oh, it's nothing. It's hot. I went out to take a bath." After I said this, I really wanted to slap myself in the face. Who has nothing to do and goes to the sea to take a bath in the middle of the night? What's more?
, the sea water is too salty and it is impossible to take a bath at all.
Shunzi might have been in a trance, but he didn't react, "Oh, I'll continue to sleep, and you guys should go to bed early." He returned to the bed, fell down and continued to sleep.
Jiao Ba and I looked at each other, and he curled his lips and shook his head, indicating that he didn't see any problem. We both wiped the seawater off our bodies, changed into clean clothes, and fell down to sleep. I slept very well that night.
I'm not stable. I kept dreaming about the female corpse some time ago, but tonight I keep dreaming about the man in black. He tried to kill me several times.
I could never see clearly who he was, but I firmly remembered his feline-like eyes. They were the most terrifying eyes I had ever seen. In my dream, he kept chasing me.
, I kept running, kept running, but he just refused to let me go. He seemed to need that jade pendant, and kept shouting, "Give me the thing...Give me the thing."
'
I cleverly opened my hazy eyes slowly and found that I was still lying in the rest cabin. The surroundings were very quiet. There was nothing except snoring. I got out of bed and closed the cabin door.
, I was really scared, I was afraid that the man in black would kill me while I was asleep.
But when I returned to the bed, I suddenly found a note beside my bed. I picked up the note in confusion and looked at it. I was shocked. It said clearly, 'The thing is in your hand.
?Put it away, if you lose it, your life will be lost.'
After reading these words, cold sweat began to flow down my forehead. I felt like my whole body was getting cold. This must have been left by the man in black. Was he reminding me? Could it be that the dream just now
Is it really true? The man in black has been standing next to me. When I think of this, my scalp feels numb. If he wanted my life, I would have died countless times.
I sat blankly on the bed with the note in my hand, carefully thinking about everything that happened. After thinking about it, I only came to one conclusion, that is, he will not kill me for the time being. The note also said that as long as I
If you keep the thing well, your life will be temporarily saved. That thing should be the jade pendant. It seems that the man in black has long known the life experience of the female corpse.
Who is he? What is the purpose of going to sea this time? Things are getting more and more complicated, and it has completely exceeded my imagination. It seems that it will take some effort to uncover this veil. Since he wants to play
, then I will play with him to the end.
I lit a cigarette and smoked it quietly. I lay on the bed and just closed my eyes and thought about it. I didn't sleep much all night long and spent the whole night in a daze.
Early in the morning, everyone gathered on the deck. Jenny asked Jiao Ba to check the salvaged things to finally determine whether the ship was sunken during the Yongle period. Although Jiao Ba said that the female corpse was from the early Ming Dynasty, she could
Doesn't mean the same goes for shipwrecks.
As for what happened last night, Jiao Bazi and I didn't mention anything. I deliberately paid attention to everyone's height and features, but I still couldn't find anyone similar to the man in black. Could it be that the man in black is not among us?
On the ship? So where can he hide? I'm a little confused.
"Zhongyi, I see you don't look too good. Did you have no rest last night?" Mr. Mai came over and asked me with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing. The sea breeze has been a bit strong recently, so I might have caught a cold." I said casually.
"It's okay, let's go over and take a look at the salvaged things." I nodded and went over with Mr. Mai.
Jiao Ba was currently looking through the salvaged porcelain and silver ingots, while Mai Lao and I and others were watching nearby. It was obvious that we were all waiting for the final result.
Jiao Ba looked at it very carefully, and almost no porcelain was left behind. After more than an hour, he put down a vase in his hand, with a helpless expression on his face, frowning and curling his lips, and slowly
Shaking his head, his move made everyone confused.
When Jenny saw Jiao Ba's expression, she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Jiao Ba moved his arms, stood up slowly and said, "I told you that you may be disappointed. This sunken ship, let alone the Yongle period, I don't think it is from the Ming Dynasty."
"Ah? Why?" This sentence was almost spoken by several of us at the same time. I was also very puzzled. Let's not talk about the female corpse in the coffin. Let's just talk about the porcelain that Mr. Mai brought out a few days ago and showed it to Jiao Ba.
Yes, at that time he said it was from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, but now he changed his mind and said no. Everyone must be worried, but I am more confused.
Jiao Ba casually picked up a piece of porcelain and said, "On the surface, this vase should belong to the sweet white porcelain of the Yongle period, but in fact, it is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. If it was a shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be there?"
Cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty."
Shunzi casually took the sweet white vase in his hand, looked at it and said, "No way, isn't it written under the Yongle Year System? How do you say it is from the Qianlong Period? You are just trying to fool us, old man.
Right?" Jiao Ba, this grandson, is very scheming and has all kinds of ideas. Shunzi is still a little suspicious of his words.
Jiao Ba just smiled and did not answer his words, but I felt a little suspicious. I took the vase in Shunzi's hand and looked at it carefully. Jenny and Mai Lao were also watching next to me. I whispered softly.
Said, "In the early Ming Dynasty, especially the Yongle period, most porcelains, whether official kilns or private kilns, did not have the year number written on them. If I remember correctly, the porcelain of the Ming Dynasty had the year number or production number on the bottom.
, it should start from Emperor Xuande.”
"Yige is indeed a righteous brother. Although I'm not sure whether it started from Xuande, I can be sure of one thing. The porcelain made during the Yongle period will never have a year number on the bottom. This is definitely not the case.
Wrong, especially sweet white porcelain, it is even more impossible to have it.
Moreover, the color of this vase is very different from the porcelain produced during the Yongle period. A layman cannot understand it and it is easy to be taken seriously." Jiao Baban explained without a smile. Although his smile was annoying, I had to admit it.
, this grandson’s ability to identify antiques is really strong.
