Volume 4 The Storm of the Sea Chapter 301 The Legend of the Sea Ghost
On the day he arrived in Haikou City, Ding Sicheng got in touch with the person who was the boss of overseas Chinese Wei in Southeast Asia, and according to the other party's meaning, Ding Sicheng rushed to the dock with the poplar iron ox.
A middle-aged man with a smile on his face greeted him, and said with a smile: "You are Mr. Chen introduced by the maritime unit, right?"
"I am!" Ding Sicheng nodded, looking at the man, "Are you ......?"
"I'm a subordinate of Boss Wei, my surname is Chang, because I am ranked fifth, you can just call me Chang Lao Wu!" the man replied with a smile.
Because Ding Sicheng is too famous in China, if people know that he personally dispatched, it will cause a great shock to both the archaeological community and the inverted fighting world.
So this time he assumed the pseudonym Chen Si, and Bai Yang and Tie Niu were his two apprentices.
When Chang Lao Wu greeted Ding Sicheng, Bai Yang carefully observed Chang Lao Wu and found that he was about forty years old, his facial features were still upright, but his face was dark and rough, and he had some ringworm, which should have been eroded by the sea breeze and sea water all year round.
Ding Sicheng briefly introduced the poplar iron bull, Chang Lao Wu nodded again and again, and said: "I heard from the people in the maritime unit that Mr. Chen is very good at studying both land tombs and submarine tombs, and if the submarine tomb can be successfully excavated this time, our boss Wei will not only thank Mr. Ding, but even I will have a few words of praise from the boss!"
"Then I'll thank Boss Wei and Mr. Chang first!" Ding Sicheng said with a smile, "But...... It doesn't matter if Boss Wei thanks me or not, it's just that since this submarine tomb is in the waters of our country, if it can really be successfully excavated, it should be handed over to our country, as long as it can be handed over in full!"
"This Mr. Chen, don't worry!" Chang Lao Wu smiled, "It's not once or twice that our Qianlong salvage team has cooperated with relevant units in China, and we will never dare to be too greedy and break the rules!"
"That's good!" Ding Sicheng nodded.
Tie Niu couldn't help but ask, "This ...... Mr. Chang Lao Wu speaks so slippery Chinese, isn't it us Chinese?"
The title "sir" sounds very "capitalist" to the ears of Chinese. Especially Tie Niu's straightforward temperament, to let him call out the word "sir", it really feels very awkward.
Even the previous Chu Changjiang and Chu Changhe, Tie Niu were all called "Chu Big Boss" and "Chu Second Boss".
But Chang Lao Wu is not Chinese and cannot be called a "comrade". And he is not the boss himself, so he can only call him "sir".
Chang Lao Wu smiled and said: "I am an overseas Chinese, and I have already gone from China to country X in my grandfather's generation, but when my grandfather was alive, we were only allowed to speak Chinese when we were at home, so my Chinese is quite fluent! In fact, most of our salvage team are Chinese, and they can basically speak fluent Chinese!"
When a few people arrived at the dock while talking, Chang Lao Wu pointed to a steamer from a distance and said, "That's the ship we are going to sea!
The Poplar Iron Bull opened his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a large number of large and small ships docked on the dock.
Most of them are fishing boats, and a few are ferries.
The one with Chang Lao's five fingers docked with fishing boats. It doesn't look like a big tonnage, and it's really not new, but compared to most of the fishing boats around, it's pretty good.
"What do your salvage boats look like, they must be more than these?" asked Poplar.
It was his first time at sea, and it was inevitable that everything would look fresh.
"Of course!" Chang Lao Wu smiled proudly, "To be honest, none of the ships full of docks can match the tenths of our salvage ships! But because the tonnage is too large, it is too wasteful to go back and forth, so now the salvage ships are docked in the relevant sea areas, and other ships can only be arranged to pick up Mr. Chen and the others!"
"Wait for someone?" Bai Yang immediately asked, "What does Mr. Chang mean, this time, in addition to inviting my master, you also invited other people?"
"Well...... Mr. Chen, don't be careful!" Chang Lao Wu immediately turned to Ding Sicheng, "Because we are not sure that Mr. Chen will definitely be willing to join, we have to invite a few more people to take precautions! Besides, the size of this submarine tomb is indeed very large, and if a few more people discuss, maybe the success rate can be higher!"
"I understand this!" Ding Sicheng nodded and asked him with a smile, "But I don't know who else you invited besides me?"
"In addition to informing the relevant maritime units and asking them to help find a professional talent, we also privately invited three capable people who are said to have excavated the submarine tomb, but unfortunately only one came in the end! His surname is Jiang, his name is Jiang Yueming, I heard that there is a nickname called Jianghai Shenjiao, I don't know if Mr. Chen has heard of this person?"
"Jianghai Shenjiao, I've heard of it, it's indeed a great character, it is said that he is proficient in water, and he is really like a dragon when he goes into the water!" Ding Sicheng replied lightly.
"Yes, yes, I also asked him to show his hand! With a person like me, who lives at sea all the year round, I was defeated by him in the fight and diving, so ...... I admire him!"
Chang Lao Wu said while laughing and laughing.
Bai Yang could hear that Chang Lao Wu's words actually contained a meaning, and hoped that Ding Sicheng could also show his hands.
Of course, Ding Sicheng could also hear this meaning, but Ding Sicheng just smiled faintly and did not respond.
As he approached the wharf, he suddenly saw a fishing boat approaching the shore, and several men and women waiting on the shore immediately greeted him.
Soon there was a loud cry in the fishing boat, and it was estimated that the fishing boat had gone to sea this time and had injured people in an accident.
"It's not easy to be a fisherman, and when I go to sea today, I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to come back!" Chang Lao Wu said, and couldn't help but sigh.
Tie Niu was very curious, ran a few steps to inquire with the people surrounding the fishing boat, and when he came back after a while, he actually had a face full of surprise.
"I just inquired, this is not an ordinary accident, those people said that when the fishing boat went out to sea, they encountered sea ghosts, a boat of six people, two were taken away by sea ghosts, and one was scratched by the sea ghost's claws, I heard that it was difficult to live!"
"Sea ghosts?" Ding Sicheng immediately turned his head to look at Chang Lao Wu.
Chang Lao Wu frowned and said, "There are all kinds of strange things in the sea, so ...... Don't mention it!"
As soon as he said this, Ding Sicheng became more and more interested, and said with a smile: "Listen to Mr. Chang's meaning, this so-called sea ghost, Mr. Chang has also encountered it?"
Chang Lao Wu was silent, Bai Yang pondered for a while, and asked Chang Lao Wu with a smile: "Mr. Chang just said that the boat in front of us is the boat we are going to go to sea, right?"
He said, holding out his hand.
Chang Lao Wu didn't know what he meant by asking, but he still nodded.
Bai Yang immediately turned his face and said to Ding Sicheng: "Master, I'm very curious about this sea ghost, can you delay for a few minutes to ask what's going on, and then get on the boat to meet the master?"
"You, always have such a heavy curiosity!" Ding Sicheng nodded helplessly, "Go, go, ten minutes at most!
Bai Yang nodded, and without waiting for Chang Lao Wu to open his mouth to object, he stretched out his hand and pulled the iron bull, and the two of them quickly turned around and ran towards the crying fishing boat.
The fishing boat is quite large, and the fishermen on it should be more than a family.
Bai Yang saw two women crying and grabbed the ground, and quietly asked the people around to watch the excitement, and an elderly fisherman sighed and said: "There are six people on this boat, three are Boss Nie and his two sons, two are Wang Ping's brothers, and one is a little apprentice who has just boarded the boat. The Nie family was the worst, and both sons were taken captive by sea ghosts! The one who was injured was Wang Ping's younger brother Wang Wen, and I am afraid that he would not be able to survive! And the little apprentice was also frightened to the point of dementia, half crazy, and half stupid! Alas, this sea ghost ...... I haven't seen it in years, who knows...... I just got bumped into by Boss Nie?"
"What the hell is this sea ghost? Wouldn't it be...... Eight-legged ghost fish or something?" Iron Bull asked.
When Tie Niu was a soldier, he had trained at sea, so he knew that there was a large eight-legged fish, which was called an eight-legged monster by many fishermen, and some fishermen called it an eight-legged ghost fish.
I didn't want the old fisherman to look back at the iron ox, then shook his head and said, "Although the eight-legged ghost fish is powerful, how can it be compared with the sea ghost......?
He suddenly stopped talking, causing Tie Niu to ask, "What is the sea ghost talking about?" Why didn't the old gentleman say it?"
"I can't say it!" the old fisherman shook his head again and again, "I will be punished for talking about sea ghosts in private! I have lived long enough and don't need to go to sea again, but I don't want to harm my son and grandson!"
He seemed to be afraid that Poplar Iron Bull would ask endless questions, and as soon as he finished speaking, he simply turned around and walked away from Poplar Iron Bull.
