Why do pirates wear black blindfolds? Are they blind?
No, pirates' black blindfolds play an important role.
Pirates live at sea all year round, often shifting between pitch black decks and bright sunlight.
Some clever pirates wear an eye patch in one eye to ensure that one eye is always able to adapt to the dark. If a battle breaks out and he has to move below deck, he only needs to change the blindfold to the other side and immediately regain his sight in the dark.
It's like just turning off the lights before going to bed, at first you will feel that the room is dark and you can't see anything, but after a while, your eyes will gradually become sensitive to weak light, and you can successfully see things in the dark.
However, it was precisely because of this unique blindfold that Li Beihe and Tang Ding judged that the skeleton man was a pirate.
There are too many pirates at sea, but it can be difficult to determine who these people really are, because pirates often go incognito.
However, when Li Beihe opened the tablet next to the helm, he happened to find the logbook.
The last page of the logbook is dated November 24, 1872, nearly one hundred and fifty years ago. According to the logbook, at noon on this day, the location was 36°57′ north latitude and 27°20′ west longitude. The helmsman wrote down this latitude and longitude in the voyage book, and simply wrote some records on it, today's voyage is the fifth day that we successfully robbed the Liberator, sailing in the Azores, these days, the people on our ship have died one after another, maybe we have done a plunder against the peace of heaven, maybe it is against the devil, in short, the devil has begun to take revenge on us.
This paragraph has a beginning and an end, and it is also easy to understand. Tang Ding and Li Beihe are both quite good at English, so it is easy for them to recognize this character.
Apparently, the ship's last voyage was recorded one hundred and five years ago, five days before the islands hijacked a treasure ship from North America to Europe, the Liberator. Five days later, the ship was in the waters of the Azores near Lisbon, Portugal.
The distance between the Azores and the southern Indian Ocean is not so far away, and this logbook is the last one, and there is nothing after that, so how did the ship come over?
Li Beihe continued to scroll down the logbook, and the records on the next three pages were the ship's schedule along the way. On the fifth page of the voyage log, it is found that the ship's logbook says that a gold and jewelry ship from North America to Europe was hijacked today, and the jewels on board were looted.
In the eighteenth and ninth centuries, North America was the time when the gold rush was rising, many people were digging gold in North America, and many people were shipping looted gold, silver and jewelry to Europe.
In those days, pirates were also the domain of Europeans. For example, the world's top ten pirates are basically Europeans.
The following logbooks are all ordinary records, of course, there are also some records of looting merchant ships, but after the looted merchant ships, there are records of returning to the voyage, and it should be that the goods are unloaded on the return voyage.
However, this most recent voyage record records the plundered gold and jewelry ship Liberator, but it does not say anything about unloading, and looking at the meaning of the last logbook, it seems that the gold and jewelry plundered by this ship should still be on this ship.
Li Beihe exchanged his opinion with Tang Ding, and Tang Ding's opinion was inclined to something that might not be here.
Actually, why is Tang Ding inclining, not certain, because Tang Ding's Qi Hope "sees" an extremely evil thing here, but there is not much gold, silver and jewelry.
Of course, it is also possible that the gold and silver jewelry has been smashed into some specific chests that can hide the breath, such as crystal chests. Of course, this is extremely unlikely. Crystal crates of gold and silver, don't handle them lightly, and don't smash the crates!
You must know that gold, silver, jewelry, and other things are different from ordinary things. As the saying goes: jewels are bright, and pearls are angry. The jewels can be seen. Especially when Tang Ding's internal strength, spiritual power, and mental power were all combined into an innate Qi, his qi technique improved greatly. In the past, Tang Ding could only see which treasures with aura and treasure when he looked at the jewels, and this treasure was still relatively abundant. Ordinary treasures, Tang Ding couldn't see them at all, let alone ordinary gold and silver and other things.
Now, Tang Ding's innate Yiqi, whether it is his sensitivity to treasure qi or his ability to observe jewels, has greatly improved, observing treasure qi, Tang Ding has been able to see the faint treasure qi emitted by ordinary gold and silver.
Of course, if it was a little bit of gold and silver together, Tang Ding would not be able to perceive the location of the gold and silver at all, and of course, if it was a lot of gold and silver stacked together, Tang Ding would be able to see their existence.
But there doesn't seem to be much gold and silver on this ship, because the gold and silver gas here is very weak.
However, the evil aura here is very strong, enveloping the entire ship, and it is still radiating outward.
"Let's go and see, if we find the treasure left by the pirates, our brothers will divide it in half. Li Beihe said with a smile.
Li Beihe is not a person who has never seen money, Li Group has developed and grown in his hands, and now the scale of the enterprise has exceeded 100 billion, which is already one of the largest enterprise groups in the whole of Singapore, and is also a famous multinational group.
Among them, Li Beihe has made great contributions.
But when Li Beihe was proud of his life, he was taken down by the Li family, which made him depressed and angry. This time he came out to relax, Li Beihe was actually a betrayal of his relatives, oh, just a rebellion, as for his relatives, his wife and a pair of children were still very good to him.
Who knew that on the boat, Tang Ding was rescued by accident, and Li Beihe talked to Tang Ding very well, and Tang Ding also had a temperament that made Li Beihe's heart break: when he heard that he was going to get on the ghost ship, he didn't say a word, and followed.
Tang Ding's behavior, if it was during the period when Li Beihe was in control of the Li Group, it would be normal, and there were even too many such people. But Tang Ding still accompanied himself when he knew that he was disappointed in life, this is the truth of adversity.
Therefore, Li Beihe said that he would share it equally with Tang Ding when he found the pirate treasure, not because he was talking nonsense, but because he really thought so.
Li Beihe beckoned Tang Ding to go with him to find the pirate treasure.
The two searched from the wheelhouse, found the captain's room next to it, and then to the chief officer's room, but they couldn't find the so-called treasure.
"It seems that these pirates are bragging about it, they don't have any treasure at all. Li Beihe sighed, a little disappointed.
There was no treasure on this ghost ship, and there were no people, oh, except for a pirate skeleton.
"There's another layer down here, have you forgotten the bottom of the deck?" Tang Ding had actually seen that the treasure was located below the deck, and he had also seen a good entrance for camouflage, but Li Beihe didn't see it, and Tang Ding didn't say anything.
Of course, in fact, it was Tang Ding who also wanted to find out what else was here, words or something.
But there was nothing but the pirate's logbook, not a single person. This means that there is nothing on the ghost ship but a pirate skeleton.
"yes, I almost forgot. Li Beihe passed by Tang Dingyi's reminder, and he suddenly remembered the black hole under the deck that the two of them had seen, "But how are we going down? ”
"Look for it, there must be stairs, and there is no way for the pirates to go down from the broken deck. ”
"Yes, stairs, let's look for it. ”
Tang Ding pretended to look for a while, and then pointed to the large disproportionate chair in the cab and said, "Brother Li, the passage may be here." ”
Li Beihe came over to take a look, there was a circular platform under the chair, it seemed to be to raise the chair, so that it was convenient to drive and control the ship, but this circular platform seemed to be a bit high, Li Beihe tried to push it, and sure enough, he pushed it, and under the platform, there was a spiraling staircase.
"Brother Tang, let's go down and have a look!" Li Beihe was a little excited.
There are generally two things that excite men: promotion and wealth, and seeking secrets.
What Li Beihe did today, where he wants to go, it is possible to include both of these things.
The interest in women is also to find the secrets, which is why men will lose their passion after staying with a woman for a long time, because they are too familiar with each other and lose the freshness of seeking secrets.
At this time, the process of treasure hunting is a veritable search for secrets. If you find a treasure, you will be rich. That's not to cover the two things that turn men on.
I went down to the bottom of the cabin, and under the light of the flashlight, I saw stacks of boxes at the bottom of the cabin, there were hundreds of them.
Li Beihe suppressed his excitement, he resisted the urge to look up to the sky and howl at the moment, ran over, and went straight to the stacks of boxes, could this be the gold and jewelry on the treasure ship of the "Liberator" that the pirates said had plundered?
But when Li Beihe opened the box hopefully, he found that the box was empty.
One chest is empty, the second is still empty, and the third is still empty.
In the end, Li Beihe opened all the boxes here, only to find that all the boxes here were empty.
Li Beihe laughed, "Hahahaha, okay, fate really played a big joke on me again." ”
Li Beihe is very human, ordinary people will be discouraged and disappointed in this situation, and they will be desperate, but Li Beihe's disappointment and discouragement have just run out, and when he opened all the boxes and made sure that there were no treasures in them, his mentality had been reversed.
This kind of mentality is repaired quickly, and it is also what makes Li Beihe different from ordinary people.
After Li Beihe laughed, he turned his head to look at Tang Ding, "Brother Tang, please forgive me for mistaking you, I thought I already had the same mind that Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, but I didn't know that I was far away from you, and now I know that you are very human!"
