After the big man returned to the cabin, he began to clear the way for the other sailors who were leaving. Mr. Mai looked at me and asked in a low voice, "Have you explained the big man clearly?"
I said calmly, "That's about right. At least he's willing to give it a try."
"I hope we can keep these sailors. We have fewer and fewer sailors now. If they all leave, we won't be able to do the rest of the work." Mr. Mai also looked worried.
The big man was talking to them, and a few of us stood by and helped talk a few words from time to time. Finally, after talking for more than an hour, we finally got through to these people. They agreed to stay for the time being, but one of them
The requirement is that after the sunken ship is salvaged, they must be allowed to leave.
Jenny glanced at Mr. Mai, who nodded to her, "Okay, I promise you, after this sunken ship is salvaged, I will send you back." Although Jenny was very reluctant, there was nothing she could do. The sailors could temporarily
Agreeing to stay is already very good.
The civil strife was settled, and all that was left was to discuss what happened inside the sunken ship. Mr. Mai called everyone into the restaurant to discuss the next step.
It was the old guy who spoke first, "Do you have anything to ask about this survey?"
"There must be, there are a lot to ask." I took a puff of cigarette and said casually.
"I just want to know what happened in the forbidden area? Why did people die instantly?" Li Xin asked with a frown.
Shunzi said at this moment, "I really want to know what those treasures are? How did they suddenly turn into a black smoke?"
Jiao Ba said with a serious face, "Everything else is easy to talk about. I just want to know where that pony went. If that thing doesn't die for a day, I won't have peace in my heart."
"Yeah, there are too many weird things about this sunken ship..."
"I think so. Ever since we entered the sunken ship, weird things have happened one after another. This sunken ship is really f*cking scary." You guys started talking one sentence at a time. It was so confusing that I couldn't make out the numbers, but
One thing is obvious. Everyone is full of doubts and fears about what happened in this shipwreck. They want to find some answers, including me of course.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. Let's start talking step by step." Mr. Mai shouted in a loud voice, and everyone else stopped.
He turned his head and looked at me, "Zhongyi, please go through the matter from beginning to end and let us all analyze it carefully."
I nodded and began to recollect everything that happened, "Let's start with our sinking of the ship this time. First, it was the strange big wooden box, which was the first thing I discovered, and secondly, I saw those strange things.
image, and then the dark layer found under the big box, but why is this big box empty? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be empty. Could it be that someone gave the contents to
Have you taken it away?"
Shunzi suddenly answered, "That's about it. Brother Yi, when you were under the dark layer, didn't you also find the severed arms and oxygen bottles of modern divers? Doesn't this prove that there were people before us?
We got there first."
"Well, I think so too. Someone should have taken away the things inside. There will definitely be no modern equipment in an ancient sunken ship. Someone must have been one step ahead of us, but how could they find it?
Where is the shipwreck? Jenny, are you sure this nautical chart has not been leaked?" Mr. Mai looked at Jenny with sharp eyes.
Jenny quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, before we went to sea, no one except my family knew about this navigation chart."
I sneered and said, "How did the bearded man know that in the first place? Didn't someone leak it?"
Jenny said with an ugly face, "This... I don't know about this, but I really haven't told anyone else."
Jiao Ba suddenly sneered and said, "Haha, don't make any random calculations. In fact, there is only one thing in that big box. Even if someone has been here before, they won't take it away."
"Why?" I couldn't quite understand what Jiao Ba said. What could it be that people can't take away?
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said with a smile, "It's very simple, Brother Yi, can't you figure it out with your head? The pattern on the box has already explained everything."
Pattern? I recalled the pattern on the big wooden box in my mind. It was the weird-looking horse with its head covered with thorns. I suddenly thought, "You mean... what's in it?"
Is it...a stabbing foal?"
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiao Ba with doubts. In fact, I was the same. Although the box was very big, it definitely couldn't hold the big black fish. The black fish was more than seven meters long.
How is it possible?
Jiao Ba said with a serious face, "Yes, it's a spurred horse. I know you are very doubtful about how the black fish can be put into the box when it's so big, right?"
"Then you should give us a good explanation." I looked at Jiao Ba and said.
Jiao Ba crossed his legs and said calmly, "Actually, this is easy to explain. Before being put in the box, the pony should have been made of young horses. After the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, it would
It was released. After hundreds of years of growth, it can naturally grow to such a big size, and I guess... this spurred foal was left behind intentionally by the ship owner for the purpose of guarding the sunken ship."
After listening to what Jiao Ba said, I seemed to understand a little bit. I looked at him and said, "Well, what you said seems to make sense. What do you think, Mr. Mai?"
Mai Lao rolled his eyes and said, "Well, I think it's about the same. Zhongyi, please continue."
I continued, "The problem with this big box has been solved. Then we saw those strange effects. According to what you said before, Laoba, we were seen by a... No, it was said that we were possessed by evil spirits.
An illusion, how did this come about?" I almost said it was poison, but luckily I reacted quickly enough and pulled it back.
Jiao Ba touched his forehead and said, "Well?? I've thought about this too. Let's put it aside for now. Brother Yi, please continue talking and let me think about it." Jiao Ba put it aside with just one sentence.
It seems that he doesn't want to talk more about it.
I said again, "Okay, you can think about it, then I will continue. Going down, we found the dark layer under the wooden box. Behind the wooden door under the dark layer, we found a large number of bones, including those of modern divers.
There is one thing about the broken arm and the hat worn by the Qing Dynasty people that you found, Laoba. I can’t figure it out. Modern divers can explain it, but how should the Qing Dynasty people explain it?”
Shunzi said in a nonchalant manner, "Maybe they are here to salvage the sunken ship. I remember when he first discovered the Qing Dynasty shipwreck, Mr. Mai said that they might be here to salvage the sunken ship." Shunzi's words made him happy.
I thought of something. I should say that I gained a lot from going to sea this time. I have to find time to analyze it carefully. I feel that many things can be connected, but I can't say it now, and I can't say it.
I turned my eyes to Mai Lao. The old guy didn't speak, but Jiao Ba suddenly said, "I don't think so. That hat can't prove anything. Even if the Qing Dynasty people wanted to dive and salvage, he wouldn't wear a hat."
Throw your hat into the sea."
"That's not a hat." Mr. Mai suddenly said this.
"It's not a hat? Then what do you think it is?" Jiao Ba turned to look at him with a smile.
Mr. Mai also smiled and said, "I guess...this thing should be a weapon used to kill people."...
