Manji Village is a small fishing village by the sea in Myanmar with a remote location. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoManji villagers rely on the shipbuilding technology passed down from their ancestors and their natural good water properties to vigorously develop the aquatic fishing industry, and their lives are so-so.

The village chief, Ma Dui, recently received a big deal to hire the best boat in Manji village to salvage a batch of dangerous supplies in the open sea. The employer is a member of the "Peace Development Commission", and although Ma Dui does not want to deal with the military, the price offered by the other party is really not low. $4,500 is almost half a year's income in Manji Village, and he can repair the road in the village that floods when it rains, not to mention, he doesn't dare to offend the military.

After breakfast, Ma Dui called more than a dozen fishermen with the best water in the village to help. The group drove the boat and set off for the open sea.

From time to time, Ma Dui secretly glanced at the mysterious employer standing at the bow of the ship, he was tall and slender, his hair was cut very short, he looked young in military uniform, and the crisscrossing scars on his face added a bit of vicissitudes. His words are very concise, and he doesn't talk to people much, but he has a calm bearing, which makes people dare not underestimate him.

Ma Dui didn't know the other party's name, he saw that the other party's epaulettes had two stars and a sun, so he called him "Lieutenant Wu" according to the Burmese custom of honorific titles for men.

After about five hours of sailing, Lieutenant Wu made a gesture for them to slow down, and Ma Dui instructed the fishermen to slow down, and he did not stop until Lieutenant Wu nodded at him. They also took three barges to sea, each with a number of large pontoons, which were used to secure salvage supplies.

Lieutenant Wu asked, "What is the depth of the water here?"

"It's about a hundred meters, and the further you go, the deeper it gets, and the deepest place is probably more than three thousand meters. Ma Dui said, pointing in the direction of the bow of the boat.

Lieutenant Wu seemed a little surprised: "At this depth, your people can go down, right?"

Ma Dui said: "Of course, are the coordinates determined to be here?"

Lieutenant Wu nodded: "As long as you have the GPS location on the ship, it's okay." ”

Ma Dui looked proud: "It's definitely no problem, I only pretended it at the beginning of this year." He looked at Lieutenant Wu's noncommittal expression, and added: "These are all the latest American goods, no worse than those of your army." ”

Lieutenant Wu smiled slightly: "Then it depends on your ability." He glanced at the busy fishermen and asked, "You are always at sea, why haven't you found military supplies here?"

Ma Du smiled, and a mouthful of white teeth appeared on his swarthy face sharpened by the sea breeze: "Lieutenant Wu, you don't know the situation here. We don't come to this area at all, because there are a lot of reefs here, and the water is complicated, so we usually go west. ”

After a while, three diving fishermen floated up, and they said that there was indeed a wreck underwater, but it was very dilapidated, and it was very old, and most of the hull was stuck in the mud and sand, and the surrounding mud and sand would float up when people moved slightly, which was very disturbing to people's vision.

After listening to the report, Lieutenant Wu raised his chin coldly: "Prepare a diving suit for me, I will go down and see it myself." ”

Ma Dui was taken aback: "Have you dived before? ”

Lieutenant Wu didn't answer directly, just snorted heavily from his nose.

Seeing this, Ma Dui didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly asked a fisherman to bring a set of diving equipment and help Lieutenant Wu put it on.

"Do you want to ask someone to accompany you down?" Ma Dui couldn't help but worry when he saw Lieutenant Wu's movements.

"Who's the best in water?"

"Then count the Rau block, he can dive dozens of meters with his bare hands. Ma Dui beckoned a short and sturdy black man, who was short but dexterous, and at this moment, he looked at the village chief with some confusion.

"Laudu, you accompany this chief down to take a look, and pay attention to his safety. ”

"Don't worry, I'm covered. Rawudu readily agreed.

"Slow down, don't rush, the gas cylinders are enough. We're here waiting for you to come back. Ma Dui showed a warm smile to the God of Wealth from the military.

A hundred meters, when viewed on land, is just an inconspicuous hill, but under the water, it makes Chief Wu, that is, Han Nuowei, feel like an unattainable peak. He looked at the depth indication of his diver's watch and tried his best to control the pace of his breathing, and slowly dived down.

The sea water changed from turquoise blue to royal blue and then to dark blue, and finally to gray blue, the light under the water became weaker and weaker, Han Nuowei could no longer see the surroundings clearly, he lit the lamp on his forehead, and saw the Rau block in front of him, which made him a little relieved.

Some unnamed fish and jellyfish brushed against Han Nuowei's body, skimming briskly, as if he were nothing more than a clumsy coral. Han Nuowei really wanted to enjoy this never-before-seen landscape, but a slightly drunken feeling made him unable to control his body, as if he could only drift away with the ocean current.

At this moment, Rawudu touched Han Nuowei's shoulder, and he gestured a few times, as if he was in a hurry. Han Nuowei suddenly felt a thrill, and only then did he realize that the rate of his breathing just now was too fast, which was very dangerous. He quickly adjusted his breathing, pulled himself together, and looked in the direction of Raou's finger.

A huge ship lay silently at the bottom of the sea, its tattered masts and thick cables jumbled together, as if to tell of its frenzied struggles. Countless corals and algae grow around the ship's perimeter, decorating it with a terrifying and gloomy castle.

When Raud saw the wreck for the first time, he gestured with great excitement that he wanted to go to the ship first. Han Nuowei thought for a moment and asked the two to go together, but Raou seemed a little disappointed, but he still obediently carried out Han Nuowei's order.

After years of immersion in seawater, the hull of the ship has long been rusted, as if it would collapse completely under the slightest external force. Han Nuowei touched a handful of rust, thinking that grabbing a handful of them would make Mo Aogu last a long time. He shook his head, shook off the confusion of thoughts, and swam carefully as he observed the hull of the ship, trying not to stir up the mud and sand.

Han Nuowei searched around the hull of the ship, trying to find the damage, but he didn't find any obvious gaps, which made him feel very puzzled.

At this time, Rau swam over and gestured at Han Nuowei. Han Nuowei looked at the place pointed by Rawtu, and saw a huge "W" printed on the hull, he thought for a moment, swam to the back of the W, he held on to the side of the boat, removed the phytoplankton wrapped around the hull, and then vigorously wiped the back of the "W".

Gradually, "H", "E", "R", "E" appeared in turn, "where"?

Han Nuo was only stunned, usually, the name or number of the ship is drawn on the hull, and what the name "where" is is simply ridiculous. But if it's not a name, what does "where" mean?

Just when Han Nuowei was thinking, he didn't know when he swam to the stern of the boat, and he lit the flashlight and shook it towards Han Nuowei.

Han Nuowei swam over, and Ravu pointed at him, and when he looked closely, he was surprised to find "hope" printed on the stern of the boat.

Han Nuowei subconsciously began to rub back along "hope". Sure enough, there were more than just "where" and "hope", there were other words. His eyes widened in surprise as he brushed the hull of the ship in a line.

It turned out that the hull was painted with a sentence!

“Where-there-is-life，there-is-hope。 ”

Where there is life, there is hope. -- Han Nuowei pondered this sentence in English, and couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart, this kind of joke with ridicule, appearing on the shipwreck that entrusts the tragic fate of the family, is both like a warning and a sarcasm.

Raugo patted his arm lightly and pointed to the porthole. Han Nuowei understood that the other party was asking him for instructions on whether to open the window and enter the cabin.

Han Nuowei thought about it, shook his head again, and he made a gesture to signal Rawudu to wait.

The phytoplankton that he had ripped off just now slowly drifted away, and the water seemed to become a little cleaner. At this time, the faint purple next to the letters attracted Han Nuowei's attention, just when he was wiping the hull of the ship, he had already noticed these small purple things, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a fragment of gemstones embedded in the hull. The overhead light was so weak that Han Nuowei had to pull out his flashlight.

The light of the flashlight shone on the gemstone fragments, and suddenly it shone a soft purple color. Han Nuowei took a closer look and found that there were many fragments of this gemstone, scattered and irregularly inlaid on the hull of the ship, each one was about the size of a fingernail, and it looked like a simple ornament, and he could not recognize what the gem was.

Han Nuowei turned off the flashlight, and this purple color suddenly darkened a lot.

He counted curiously, exactly forty. This number didn't seem to have any special significance, thinking of this, Han Nuowei got a little closer, he stretched out his hand, and carefully touched the purple gem through the thick diving gloves.

The surroundings were still quiet, and Han Nuo was a little relieved to see that there was no mechanism, and he noticed that the purple gems were not set in the hull of the ship in the usual way of tooth or bezel setting, but directly embedded in the hull.

This slightly strange setting method made Han Nuowei fall into deep thought. He groped around the edge of the gem, but found nothing.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, he looked at his diving watch and swam to Han Nuowei's side. Seeing that Han Nuowei was still in a daze, he patted the hull of the boat, wanting to remind Han Nuowei to pay attention to oxygen.

Raou slapped it on a gem, and the gem moved slightly. Han Nuowei was taken aback, he hurriedly slapped the gem a few times, and the gem gradually protruded outwards as if it was being pushed by something.

Raou was stunned, he had never seen such an evil thing, and he couldn't help but hide backwards.

Han Nuowei slapped and tapped again, tossing and turning for a while before taking the gem out of the hull. When the gem was removed, the hole where it had been was quickly filled in as if something spring-like was on top of it at the bottom. Han Nuowei couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise, he observed that there was nothing special about these thin fragments of gems, except that there seemed to be a layer of paint on the back, perhaps it was this paint that stuck the gems to the ship.

Han Nuowei gestured, motioned to Lau to help, took out the rest of the gem fragments, and then put them into the bag tied around Han Nuowei's waist. An inexplicable instinct told him: Cotton would not waste a gem on a ship destined to sink to the bottom of the sea.

When Raoutu at the stern of the boat finished plucking the last jewel, a strange pattern suddenly appeared on the hull, and he watched in amazement as the pattern slowly protruded before stopping after a few seconds. Han Nuo was a little dazed for the only time, and he couldn't tell what Cotton wanted to do. It is an ancient relief ornament, most of which has been covered by weeds, and it is impossible to see what it was in its original form, and it is impossible to see what it is of any use. When Han Nuowei was thinking about having a headache, Rawudu swam over again and reminded him to pay attention to the time again. Han Nuowei forced himself to calm down, and he must not mess around now. He reached out and pulled away the weeds from the relief, wiping off the thick moss, and the relief gradually leaked out of its original form. The relief is shaped like a large circular wreath of a pair of winged doves flanked by intricate coin-like ornaments. The pair of pigeons, on the other hand, have only a silhouette, and the middle is concave, like a hole left for setting precious stones.

Thinking of this, Han Nuowei's mind flashed. He distinctly remembers seeing pigeon sculptures in the bow and stern as he circled the hull to find a gap. He immediately swam to the bow of the boat, and the pigeon sculpture was flat.

Han Nuowei was overjoyed, and hurriedly tried to pull it, but the pigeon did not move at all. Seeing this, Laudu, who was on the side, made a move and motioned for him to pull up. Han Nuowei took a closer look, the pigeon was inserted into an iron rod, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he was still out of proportion under the great joy. He held the pigeon, pulled it hard, and finally pulled it out.

Han Nuowei pointed to the pigeon, and then to the stern, and Lautu swam towards the stern of the boat, and the two of them each held a pigeon, and came to the circular relief.

Han Nowei embedded the dove in the relief, and Laudus did the same, but after both of them had put it away, there was no movement in the relief. Han Nuowei stared at the relief and thought, could it be that it was too old, and this mechanism was broken? While thinking, he reached out to pat the relief, and in an instant, the pigeon seemed to sink a little, and he hurriedly pressed the two pigeons down. Then there was a violent shaking of the ship's hull, and a small and dense bubble swirled, and a door appeared in the middle of the circular relief.

Han Nuo was the only stunned, he didn't expect to be able to enter the cabin so soon, and he couldn't help but regret bringing an outsider down, but the matter had come to this, and he couldn't rush to drive Rau away, so he had to sneak in as if nothing happened.
