The fishing boat lowered the iron, and we fixed the coffin. After the wire rope dragged the coffin up steadily, we also began to rush out to the sea. The sun was still abundant. Thousands of waves bloomed on the sea in the afternoon. Under the rays of the sun, Below, there is a golden light shining, flickering, like a beautiful firework.
We swam towards the bearded fishing boat. The life ladder was placed in advance. Following the ladder, we climbed onto the fishing boat one after another.
Back on the deck, after throwing away the oxygen bottle, I sat down and gasped, "Damn, it's really a cliffhanger this time, old man, where are those weird snakes?" "Come here?"
Jiao Ba took off his equipment and sat on the deck and said, "How do I know? It scares me to death, Mr. Mai, do you know what those strange creatures are?" Jiao Ba didn't look like he was lying.
Mai Lao took off his diving suit, looked at us condescendingly and said, "I don't know very well. It's impossible for me to know about a creature that you don't even know about." This old guy seemed to be perfunctory with us. Now I really want to know how he escaped in the end.
"Mr. Mai, I really need to thank you very much this time. You have saved me several times in a row. You are really good at it. What method did you use this time?" I asked him in a different way, raising a big flag. thumb.
Mai Lao said with a smile, "It's just a fluke." Another useless nonsense.
Li Xin interrupted and asked, "What did you encounter inside this time?"
I glanced at her and said nonsense casually, "I met angels and God. "
"Get out of here, return it to the angels and God, I think you look like a piece of bird shit." Li Xin scolded me unceremoniously, which made everyone laugh. Even Mai Lao, who rarely lost his temper, burst out laughing.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Did I provoke you?" I looked up at Li Xin. This is a woman. If he were a man, I would have to slap him.
Li Xinxiao looked at me and said, "I'm talking about you, what? I have an opinion."
"Holy shit."
"Okay, okay, that's all. Stop making trouble, the coffin has been salvaged." Mr. Mai interrupted me.
As soon as I heard that the coffin had been salvaged, I quickly climbed up and stood on the edge of the deck. The wire rope dragged the coffin out of the sea. The sun shone on the dark coffin. There was no trace of warmth, but only coldness. The light makes people feel very uncomfortable when they look at it.
The coffin rose little by little until it landed smoothly on the deck. After the coffin surfaced, it looked a little different from the one under deep water. The coffin under the deep sea looked dark and dark, very huge and cautious. people.
But when you look at it on the deck, it is not that big, and the color is relatively lighter than that under the deep sea, closer to gray. I reached out and touched the coffin lid, and the color was The coldness also disappeared. It seemed that all problems could only appear in that dark sea. Once they left, they would disappear.
Everyone was in high spirits. They were all discussing with each other around the coffin. They talked about everything, but in the end they could not do without the word treasure. Almost everyone believed that there would be something in it. A large number of grave goods.
Even Mai Lao, Shunzi, and Li Xin are convinced, but I can see that some of them are just trying to confuse our thinking. This is just a small trick.
This coffin is no different from the coffins in the previous shipwrecks of the Qing Dynasty, but I always have a kind of uneasiness in my heart. I can’t say what this feeling is, but it always comes to my mind. The terrifying look of the female corpse in the coffin.
If there really is a demon insect corpse inside, maybe I can find some information I want from this corpse.
The big man suddenly said excitedly, "Mr. Mai, let's open it? Let's see what's inside." His face was full of excitement, as if the gold and jewelry were there. It's the same as before my eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Mai, we have caught this, let's open it and take a look." Several other sailors were also fanning the flames, because this was their last battle and the mission had been completed.
We did not tell other sailors about the strange things that happened to Big Beard in the Qing Dynasty shipwreck last time, and they have been kept in the dark. The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. good.
Mr. Mai did not answer them directly, but looked at Jiao Ba and asked, "Xiao Ba, can we open it now?"
Jiao Ba smiled deliberately and said, "Of course you can open it, but why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late. Let the coffin cool down and get some moisture. Let's come over with Jenny early tomorrow morning and walk around." Let’s go back.” He took the lead to leave the deck, put down the lifeboat, and called for us to get on board quickly.
The two fishing boats are not right next to each other. This is what Jiao Ba requested, and this is also for safety reasons.
When everyone saw that there was nothing to do, they all went back. Anyway, it was not a day away. After we returned to Jenny’s boat, Jenny seemed very excited. After all, the hard work these days had finally paid off. In return, this is the result of paying the price of life.
Everyone was very tired, and the sailors went back to the cabin to rest. A few of us came to Jenny's rest cabin and sat down.
Mr. Mai suddenly asked Jiao Ba, "Xiao Ba, are you sure what's in the coffin?" It seemed that Mr. Mai had known his intention to deceive others.
"I told you last time that this coffin is inseparably related to the coffins in the previous Qing Dynasty shipwreck." Jiao Ba did not answer her directly.
“What does that mean?” Jenny was a little anxious.
Shunzi suddenly said, "What Lao Ba means is that there might also be demon insect corpses inside." Shunzi's reaction was really fast, which surprised me.
After Shunzi finished speaking, Jenny’s expression changed a little. Although she didn’t know how powerful the demonic insect corpse was, she had also told her about our previous narrow escape. That memory, no matter who I was scared after hearing this.
“Then what should we do?” Jenny was a little at a loss.
"If it is really a demon insect corpse, it will be really difficult to deal with. This matter is troublesome. Xiaoba, what can you do?" Mai Lao asked again.
Jiao Ba frowned and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. Let's give it to me one night and let me think about it carefully. Maybe I can find a countermeasure. However, I would like to remind you that Qian Don't open this coffin privately, otherwise something big will happen and you won't be able to regret it." He glanced at us, smiled evilly, stood up, and left.
Shunzi and I hurriedly followed out. I tried to send Shunzi away. I pulled Jiao Ba out of the cabin and asked, "Lao Ba, do you really have a way to deal with this demonic insect corpse?" ?"
focus Ba laughed at himself and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just fooling them."
"Damn, then you can't help it. What are you talking about? What if something goes wrong when the coffin is opened tomorrow?" Me He said while glaring at him. Jiao Ba looked around and said mischievously, "Don't worry, Brother Yi, someone will help us tonight. Let's just wait patiently tonight. There is a 100% chance that the man in black will appear again."
