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, "According to you, that coffin was salvaged from the sunken ship at that time?"
"It's very possible, what do you think, Mr. Mai?" "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 get the navigation chart quickly. Come, let me take another look.”
Jenny quickly brought over the navigation chart. Mr. Mai looked at it carefully and said, "Well, yes, our current location is not far from the location marked on the navigation chart. The shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty must be nearby. .”
Jiao Ba took the navigation chart and looked at it again and said, "Indeed, 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."< br>
I took the nautical chart from Jiao Ba's hand, looked at it for a long time and said, "There is no specific scale on it, how do you know the shipwreck is nearby?"
Jiao Ba is watching from the side I smiled and said, "Yi Ge, you don't understand this. In fact, there are a lot of hints on it. Every symbol drawn, even every line, is a hint. Oops, you don't understand even if I tell you. , I have been robbing tombs for so many years, I can’t make a mistake.”
“Damn it, you are really good.” I threw the navigation chart back unconvinced, but I couldn’t help it, I really couldn’t see it. If you understand that thing, we can just follow 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 sell them at a good price if you just pick up a few.
Jenny was a little disappointed. Except for the two only pieces of Ming Dynasty porcelain, she decided to distribute everything in the sunken ship to others. Whether it was porcelain or silver ingots, she kept none of them. Naturally, Shunzi and I also shared a lot. Shunzi was very excited. Taking these things back to sell would save us more than ten years of struggle. The sailors were even more happy.
As for the rotten sunken ship and the female body in the coffin inside, Jenny plans to drag it back in a few days and then send it to the National Museum. This can be regarded as a small contribution to the country. Mr. Mai also agreed, just treat it as 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 and taking a look? Aren't they curious about the female corpse in the coffin? Or do they already know the secret of the female corpse?
I asked them intentionally at that time, "Are we just going to send the coffin back? Are we not going to open it and take a look?"
Jenny shook her head and said, "I won't open it anymore. It's just a coffin. What's there to see? And didn't Jiao Ba also say that it's dangerous to open it. I think it's better for us to touch less."< br>
I glanced at Jiao Ba intentionally, and he immediately said, "Ah, what about that, Jenny, I was just joking, let's Let's open it and take a look. I think everyone is very curious, so don't spoil everyone's interest."
Jenny glanced at Mr. Mai, and the old man smiled and said, "Haha, it's just a corpse. Well, 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 it yourself."
Jiao Ba and I looked at each other again, both with helpless expressions on our faces.
"Brother Yi, who do you think the man in black could be?" Jiao Ba asked in my ear.
"I still 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, and Shunzi and I also Jiao Ba is also here. How could our presence be missing on such an occasion? Everyone drinks liquor and goes to sea. Very few people carry beer. Shunzi and I are also very happy. It has not been so lively for a long time. Get together.
Jiao Baben doesn’t drink liquor. This is one of his principles, but this time, we still drank a big mouthful of water. It was so spicy that the grandson kept drinking water. He had been out at sea for so many days. Okay, everyone is as tired as a bastard. Now he finally sees 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, The greater danger is approaching us little by little, but every time I see the smiling faces of these people, When the words came to my lips, I had to swallow them, just think of them as giving myself and everyone a better hope.
Later, Jenny and Mr. Mai also joined us to celebrate, but Li Xin did not. Come on, this woman is so damn cold, I even doubt whether she has human feelings.
She has a cold face all day long. She is pretty in vain. I can’t even hear her say a word. She ignores everyone and pretends to be noble and knowledgeable all day long. , pretending to be an expert, sometimes I even feel that this person does not exist on this ship at all, as if she is transparent, and I am 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 good drinking capacity, very good. He is the best drinker I have ever seen. He is not afraid of anyone who comes. He raises his glass. Damn, this old guy has a huge amount of wine, almost like 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 is so beautiful even after drinking wine."
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 about this. I have only told you this so far." Jenny rolled her eyes at me and said, "Can you please treat me like a three-year-old? Man? If I could trust my words, the world would be at peace.”
