Jiao Ba finally told the gist of the matter. I quickly paid attention to the expressions of the people around me. Unfortunately, I was still disappointed. No one showed a cunning look. Maybe it was because I was not skilled enough and couldn't tell the difference at all.
Jenny hurriedly asked at this time, "According to you, that coffin was salvaged from the sunken ship at that time?"
"It's very possible, what do you think, Mai Lao?" Jiao Ba threw the words to Mai Lao. Recently, he always likes to argue with this old guy, and he doesn't know why.
Mr. Mai nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense. If this is really the case, then the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty should be near this ship. Jenny, please bring the navigation chart quickly and I will take a look.
.”
Jenny hurriedly brought over the navigation chart. Mr. Mai looked at it carefully and said, "Yeah, yes, our current location is not far from the location marked on the navigation chart. The shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty must be nearby here."
Jiao Ba took the navigation chart and looked at it again and said, "It is true that our current location is very close to the position on the navigation chart. To be precise, we have found the location, but we just found the wrong sunken ship."
I took the nautical chart from Jiao Ba's hand, looked at it for a long time and said, "There's no specific scale on it. How do you know the shipwreck is nearby?"
Jiao Ba looked at me and smiled and said, "Brother Yi, you don't understand this. In fact, there are a lot of hints on it. Every symbol drawn, even every line, is a hint. I'm telling you.
You don’t understand, I’ve been robbing tombs for so many years, I can’t make any mistakes.”
"Damn it, you're really good." I threw the navigation chart back unconvinced, but there was nothing I could do. I really couldn't understand it, so we just followed it.
Mai Lao nodded and said, "Okay, since Xiaoba is so sure, let's set off after a few days of rest."....
Except for Jenny, everyone else was very happy to salvage the sunken ship from the Guangxu period this time, especially the sailors. They were so excited that they almost didn’t know their last names. They were about to start drinking and celebrating. It was obvious that they were
I'm really happy. It's no wonder that the antique market is so hot now. As long as you have good things in hand, you can get a good price if you just pick up a few.
Jenny was a little disappointed. Except for the only two pieces of Ming Dynasty porcelain, she decided to share everything in the sunken ship with others. Whether it was porcelain or silver ingots, she didn't keep any of them. Shunzi and I took it for granted.
They also divided a lot, and Shunzi was very excited. Taking these things back to sell would save them more than ten years of struggle, and the sailors were even more happy.
As for the rotten sunken ship and the female body in the coffin inside, Jenny planned to drag it back in a few days and send it to the National Museum. It could be considered a small contribution to the country. Mr. Mai also agreed.
Just think of it as selling a favor.
But Jiao Ba and I were very puzzled. Putting aside the other sailors, why didn’t Jenny and Mr. Mai think of opening the coffin to take a look? Aren’t they curious about the female body in the coffin? Or do they already know it?
What about the secret of the female corpse?
At that time, I asked them intentionally, "Are we going to send the coffin back just like this? Are we not going to open it and take a look?"
Jenny shook her head and said, "We won't open it anymore. It's just a coffin. What's there to see? Besides, didn't Jiao Ba also say that it's dangerous to open it. I think it's better for us to touch less."
I glanced at Jiao Ba intentionally, and he immediately said, "Ah, what, Jenny, I was just joking, let's open it and take a look. I think everyone is quite curious, don't spoil everyone's fun."
.”
Jenny glanced at Mr. Mai. The old man smiled and said, "Haha, it's just a corpse. What's there to see? If you really want to see it, you two can go alone and I won't accompany you.
." After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the cabin.
As soon as he left, Jenny smiled and said, "I'm going back too, you two can do what you want."
Jiao Ba and I looked at each other again, both of us looking helpless.
"Brother Yi, who do you think the man in black could be?" Jiao Ba asked in my ear.
"What else do I want to ask you? Don't you see who is the most suspicious?" I glanced at him and said.
Jiao Ba curled his lips and said, "Damn, it seems that we are on the same level."......
In the afternoon, the sailors started drinking on the deck. Shunzi, Jiao Ba, and I were also there. How could it be possible that our presence would be missing on such an occasion? Everyone drank white wine, and it was very difficult to go to sea.
It was rare that someone brought beer. Shunzi and I were also very happy. It had been a long time since we had such a lively gathering.
Jiao Baben doesn't drink liquor. This is one of his principles. But this time, we still drank a big gulp of it. It was so spicy that the grandson kept drinking water. He was tired after being at sea for so many days.
Like a bastard, now I finally see some hope.
Almost all of these people have abandoned their families and careers, and some are even bachelors like me. Isn’t the purpose of coming to the ocean to make a few extra bucks? Although they have encountered some strange incidents before, they all seem to be
It was diluted by this joy.
Even the deaths of Heizi and another sailor seemed to have been forgotten by them, but I still remember it. It always lingers in my mind. There is always a feeling in my heart that a greater danger is coming.
They are getting closer to us little by little, but every time I see the smiling faces of these people and the words come to my lips, I have to swallow them and just treat them as giving myself and everyone a good hope...
Later, Jenny and Mai Lao also joined us to celebrate, but Li Xin did not come. This woman is so damn cold, I even doubt whether she has human feelings.
She has a cold face all day long, and her beauty is useless. I can't even hear her say a word, and she ignores everyone. She pretends to be aloof, knowledgeable, and expert all day long.
At that time, I even felt that this person did not exist on this ship at all, as if she was transparent. I was too lazy to talk to her, so as not to look at her cold eyes.
We had a great time drinking in a noisy manner. Old Man Mai has a very good drinking capacity. He is the best drinker I have ever seen. He is almost not afraid of anyone who comes. He will drink with a toast. This old guy is really
It’s a huge amount, about the same as a water tank. It’s probably okay to drink a few kilograms of liquor. It really opened my eyes.
Jenny also drank a glass of white wine. Her face turned slightly red and she looked more charming than before. I looked at her deliberately and said, "This beauty is a beauty. She looks so beautiful even after drinking."
Jenny looked at me with a smile and said, "Have you said this kind of compliment to many girls?"
I immediately said righteously, "Hey, you have wronged me for this. I have only told you this so far."
Jenny rolled her eyes at me and said, "Can you please just treat me like a three-year-old? If a man's words could be trusted, the world would be peaceful."
