"It's past three o'clock in the middle of the night. If you don't sleep well, why did you ask me to come out?"
"If you ask too much, close your eyes and give me your hand. I'll give you a surprise."
"What are you doing? It's so mysterious..."
Xiaoxuan looked confused, but she still closed her eyes obediently and let me pull her away.
"Okay, here it is! Open your eyes, please?"
"This...this is what you did?"
When Xiaoxuan saw the scene in front of her, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
I was quite proud and said: "Beautiful, isn't it?"
The moonlight is bright at this moment, and the empty field in front of me is filled with flower baskets filled with roses. The stocks of several flower shops in the city are here. The delivery person delivered them overnight according to my request, and arranged these flower baskets.
A huge "heart" shape.
Every girl doesn't love roses, and Xiaoxuan is no exception. After looking at them for a while, her eyes became a little red.
I smiled and said, "We have known each other for more than four years. Before we were still young, I almost never gave you any flowers. This time I will make up for what I owed you in the past few years at once."
"Who asked you to do this? I don't need it!"
Xiaoxuan punched me in the chest with red eyes, and then she snuggled into my arms. She looked up at me and said, "You just bought these clothes, right?"
"Yes, because starting from today, I want to be a handsome boy!"
"You can be pretty! But to be honest, Yunfeng, I still liked you when you were slovenly. Now that you are so serious, I'm not used to it."
After we cuddled and chatted for a while, I sent Xiaoxuan back and came out and encountered a bug. The boy was not asleep yet.
Chongzi handed over a Zhongnanhai stick and I took it.
"Brother Feng, I saw it. Those costs must have cost thirty to fifty thousand yuan. That's a lot of money. If I were a woman and saw so many roses, I would definitely be happy."
"Oh, Chongzi, how long have you known Xiaoxuan? You don't understand Xiaoxuan as a person at all. The reason why she is happy is not because of these flowers, but because of my attitude towards her. I let her know that I care about her.
"
Chongzi nodded and said, "Brother Feng, you are so forceful that I have to use more force."
I didn't answer, just patted the insect on the shoulder.
At around five o'clock in the evening the next day, inside the Yuecheng Reservoir spillway.
This kind of spillway is under a large dam. Most people will never come here. It is an excellent hiding place. Some of our tools and two plastic boats are hidden here in the spillway.
At this moment, I was squatting at the entrance of the cave, carefully comparing a piece of torn paper and a torn book in my hand. The paper was a topographic map of the flow of the Yuecheng Reservoir, and the torn book was the local county annals of the Wu'an Daming area in Handan in the early Ming Dynasty.
Lao Mian, who had just joined the team, said: "Boss, it has been hundreds of years since this happened. I'm afraid you are not worthy of your position if you look at it this way."
"Old Mian, you are wrong. I am not looking at the correct position. I am looking at whether the general direction of the water flow has changed."
"Look here carefully," I drew a circle on a piece of water with a ballpoint pen.
"This is where the box of gold coins came out of the water before. This is where we found those plum vases. Do you see the problem?"
Lao Mian frowned and said: "Master, what do you mean...is there a water coffin?"
Water coffin is an old saying in the past, which refers to an ancient shipwreck.
I nodded, pointed at the map of the reservoir and said: "If you look carefully, you will find that the heavier the object, the closer it is to this point, such as the box of gold coins, and conversely, the lighter the object, the farther it is from this point.
, like those bottles and small coins.”
A Yuan's eyes lit up: "I understand, the lighter things are carried farther by the water! On the contrary, if there is an ancient sunken ship, the heavier things should be closer to the location of the sunken ship!"
"That's right, but what next? Xiaoxuan, you can also take a guess." I asked her two questions...
"I can't guess," Xiaoxuan shook her head and smiled bitterly.
A Yuan thought for a while, then she pointed at the reservoir map in my hand, frowned and said: "Then... we shouldn't look here, we should look in this area of water, this area may be
There are gold and silver treasures in big boxes!”
I was a little surprised. A Yuan was very smart. Xiaoxuan didn't even realize what I meant, but she understood it right away.
If this girl doesn't engage in the prostitution business, she should have a bright future as a professional logistician for a team. She is very observant, which is actually a kind of talent. As the boss said back then, I am very familiar with the structure of ancient tombs.
The sense of space and the sense of route are equally gifted.
At this moment, the insect scratched his head and asked: "Then why don't we go to the place where we found the bottle last time?"
Xiaoxuan said: "Of course I won't go. You haven't understood what Yunfeng said. You are so stupid, Chongzi. Even if there are goods in that area, they are just scattered small goods. We have limited time and we have to hurry up before the archaeological team comes.
Just find the big stuff."
Chongzi had a charming look on his face, he said yes, Sister Xuan, whatever you say is right, but now, Chongzi is a proper dog-licking man, he licked Xiaoxuan fiercely.
However, Xiaoxuan's words reminded me that we have been here for several days and have never seen anyone from the local archaeological team. The news has spread in the field, and even the local villagers know that cultural relics have been found in the reservoir.
It’s impossible for the Cultural Heritage Bureau to be unclear.
I guess there are two reasons why I haven't come yet.
First, the local government did not pay enough attention to this matter, and second, Jiu Qingning sent people to operate it secretly.
I think the latter is more likely. When I think about having such a strong local boss backing me, I'm scared, so I just go ahead and do it boldly.
We had very few high-tech things at that time. Unlike now, some powerful gangs in the southern faction have used underwater sonar and underwater robotic fish with cameras. I have seen those imported robotic fish, they are awesome.
, the two eyeballs on the fish's head are infrared cameras. The eyeballs can rotate 360 degrees to take pictures, and the captured images can also be wirelessly transmitted to a laptop computer.
The above-ground tombs still have external appearances such as mounds of earth, rammed earth layers, and vegetation layers. However, the underwater tombs, including the ancient sunken ship, are all submerged in the water. You can’t even see the hair on the surface, so people from the north often talk about the south.
The person sent: "Fuck, you are a bunch of water ghosts and water monkeys. The work you do is really unskilled. Unlike us, we can master the secret art of the sky at one level and measure the dragon veins of geography at the next level."
This statement is of course biased. The Southern Sect also has many powerful mysterious figures and secret techniques. For example, they deal with some real-life floating corpses, mud corpses, upside-down corpses, swamp sliding corpses, spitting water corpses, and the legendary
Things like He Bo, Kappa, Stand-in Water Ghost, Water Dragon King, etc. They have their own set of secret techniques, especially the Swamp Sliding Corpse. I saw it once by chance, and it really scared me at the time.
People from the south will also say to us from the north: "What can a bunch of prairie dogs do? They can just burrow in the soil and dig for food."
It's nonsense to say that the northern and southern families are close to each other. The northerners call the southerners water monkeys, and the southerners call the northerners prairie dogs. Damn it, they don't like each other anyway.
It was dark and windy at night, so we waited in the flood tunnel until about 10 o'clock in the evening before we started taking action.
According to the latest plan, a group of people paddled a plastic boat to a new water area, abandoning the originally planned area of water.
Based on looking at old maps in local county records, we can infer that in the early Ming Dynasty when there was no Yuecheng Reservoir, there was a winding river at the foot of the famous Shalu Mountain. Over the past few hundred years, the terrain has changed a lot, but only Shalu Mountain has not changed.
The big bend at the foot of Shalu Mountain happens to be upstream of where the gold coins come out of the water. They are on a waterway.
Do you understand what I mean?
What I mean is that there is most likely the source of the shipwreck. The cargo carried on the ship was washed downwards by the current. It was heavy in weight, and large items rushed closer, while light weight and small items rushed far away, just like those
The iron Xianping Yuanbao coins were carried far away by the water.
It's not much fun to salvage those bulk cargoes piecemeal. Firstly, it takes time, and secondly, the profit is not high. Only by finding the ancient sunken ships can we make a fortune. If I want to do it, I will do it big.
It was dark and windy at the moment, and a group of us did not dare to turn on the lights for fear of being seen.
Chongzi and Lao Baotai each rowed a plastic boat, one in front and one behind. Xiaoxuan and I were on Chongzi's boat.
"Oh my God, I'm so exhausted."
When the bug stopped, he wiped his sweat and complained, "If I had known I had to paddle this far, I should have bought a damn diesel boat."
I sat on the bow of the boat and said, "Stop complaining. If you really get a diesel boat, it's hard to hide it because it's big. Once it's driven, it will make a lot of noise, and it will be easily exposed."
Chongzi gasped and said, "I can't help it anymore. Let's take a rest. My arms are so sore that I can't row anymore!"
At this time, Xiaoxuan said: "Chongzi, I thought your physical fitness was very good, but now it seems to be just average. You can no longer row after just a certain distance."
"Who said I can't row anymore!"
"I can row! My physical fitness is good!"
After listening to Xiaoxuan's words, Chong felt like he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He shook his head with the wooden paddle in his hand, swaying left and right. Our plastic boat ran very fast in an instant, leaving Lao Baotai's boat far behind.
Xiaoxuan winked at me.
I took advantage of her unpreparedness, slapped Xiaoxuan on the butt, and whispered to her: "You are so bad."
This really corresponds to what young people say nowadays, lick the dog, lick the dog, lick it until the end, and there will be nothing left.
