Dr. Li made two turns around the bracket, took out a pair of rubber gloves from his trouser pocket, knocked on the boat board, touched it, rubbed his fingers, and said, "The desalination method is too rough, and it has been very damaging to the hull for a long time. Fortunately, this is a modern ship, not an ancient wooden ship, otherwise it would not last for three years. ”

Fang Jing followed behind and nodded like pounding garlic, thinking that you should not be picky, just be kind and make a price to drag the sunken ship back, he really can't afford to raise such a delicate cargo!

Dr. Li looked very carefully, squatted down, carefully inspected the hull, and then simply asked Fang Jing to transfer the elevator, ascend to the air to watch the deck part, and took out his mobile phone to take pictures while watching, even the most inconspicuous corner, and took pictures carefully.

Fang Jing's eyes widened, and his gaze chased Dr. Li back and forth, this is a real big man in the archaeological field, Professor Lu is already a master in the field of cultural relics identification, but he still can't compare to this Dr. Li.

Such a good learning opportunity, Fang Jing didn't want to miss it.

"Is there anything wrong with this ship?" Seeing that Dr. Li wiped the side of the boat, his brows furrowed slightly, Fang Jing immediately became nervous, it couldn't be that there was something wrong with the boat, he had invested a lot of money in the boat, and he served more delicately than the princess, if something really went wrong, he would lose a lot.

Dr. Li did not speak, but motioned for Fang Jing to operate the elevator and climbed down the stairs.

"It's a modern cargo ship, and the way it works in shipbuilding should have been built in Germany in the twenties of the last century."

It's amazing! Fang Jing suddenly opened his eyes, he was really a master, just a few casual glances, he could judge the age and builder of the shipwreck, and this eyesight alone was not comparable to ordinary people.

No wonder this old man has a bad temper and is stubborn like a self-righteous emperor, at his level, he really only needs to focus on the cause of archaeology, and does not care about the faces of others.

After returning from the brigade headquarters, Dr. Li's face towards Fang Jing was much better, at least he didn't pick his nose and eyes like before, and his attitude could even be called gentle.

"This ship was found last time in that reef area, right?"

Here it comes!

Fang Jing immediately cheered up, worried a lot, but he still couldn't dodge.

"Yes."

Dr. Li stopped talking, touched the upper pocket of his shirt, remembered that he had gone back to the hotel this morning to take a shower, and hurried over after changing his clothes, forgetting to put a pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

"We scanned that area with sonar at least twenty times, and no one found it." Dr. Li said, glancing at Fang Jing suspiciously, as if they hadn't noticed that it was Fang Jing's fault.

Fang Jing hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, flipped out a photo of the ghost flower stored in Zài, handed it to Dr. Li, and said, "Maybe it's because of this thing." ”

Dr. Li leaned over and took a look: "Crystal Orchid? ”

Look at it again, no, this photo was obviously taken underwater, the crystal orchid only grows in dark and damp places, but no one has ever heard of it, that kind of saprophytic plant can still grow dozens of meters of water, or seawater!

And if you look closely, it is also different from the crystal orchid.

"What is this?" Dr. Li habitually went to touch his pocket again, and when he was halfway through it, he thought of something, turned his head and instructed the driver, "Go and bring me the toolbox on the car." ”

The driver was specially arranged by the museum, who was both his driver and his bodyguard, and immediately got up when he heard this, opened the back cover of the car, and took out a small toolbox and sent it to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li took out a magnifying glass and carefully observed the appearance of the ghost flower in the photo.

"This is a ghost flower, our people there say that the soul of a person who died unjustly will not disperse, and after a long time, the resentment will be condensed and formed, and this ghost flower will be born on the bones of people." Cen Jiu kindly added an explanation.

Dr. Li didn't laugh at Cen Jiu's statement this time, but nodded approvingly: "When you say that, I remember that I seem to have seen it in some literature before, but I thought it was just a market legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Fang Jing suddenly looked at Dr. Li's gaze was different, he even knew such a magical thing, should he really be the first person in the domestic archaeological field? What a lot of knowledge!

Cen Jiu said: "I also thought it was just a legend. ”

To be honest, when he saw the ghost flower, the surprise in his heart was no less than Fang Jing's.

Dr. Li's curiosity was completely hooked, and he returned the phone to Fang Jing and said, "This ghost flower, have you saved the sample?" ”

Listening to that tone, it seems like I want to study it.

Such a murderous thing, to avoid it, how could he still save the sample.

Fang Jing shook his head decisively.

Dr. Li looked regretful: "It's a pity, it's rare to come across this kind of legendary thing, I originally wanted to study it, maybe I can add a new species to the biological map on the earth!" ”

Listening to that tone, he was full of unwillingness, and he really hadn't seen the ferocity of the ghost flower, so he was so fearless?

Ignorance is a kind of happiness!

Fang Jing spoke highly of Dr. Li's selfless dedication to science. People always say that scientists mean the same thing as madmen in a certain way, and Fang Jing feels that he seems to have a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"I heard that in addition to a boatload of skeletons, you also fished up a lot of silver coins?" Soon, Dr. Lee was refreshed from the loss of the ghost flower and turned to ask about the other big boss of the shipwreck.

"There's a boatload of Mexican Eagles, would Dr. Lee be interested in taking a look?" Although he meant to inquire about the other party, Fang Jing had already taken Dr. Li to the storage room with great interest.

Most of the valuable things that Fang Jing fished up were put into the space of the water bubbles, firstly for safety, and secondly, for preservation, only a very small part was left outside to hide people's eyes. He glanced at Cen Jiu, Cen Jiu understood, slowed down, and disappeared after a while.

Dr. Li and his driver followed Fang Jing all the way back to the Fang family's old house, but they didn't notice that the young man who had been inseparable from Fang Jing since he came to the fishing village had left.

Fang Jing admired Cen Jiu's ability to hide his body so much, so a big living person poked there, and the sense of storage was so low that people couldn't notice it at all, which was also a stunt of Cen Jiu.

By the time Dr. Li and the others returned to the Fang family's old mansion, Cen Jiu had already moved a box out of the storage room, put it in the hall, and made a cup of tea for everyone to cool down.

Dr. Li showed a rare look of surprise on his dead face, and couldn't help but speak, "Young man, you can't have a twin brother who looks like you, right?" ”

When Fang Jing heard this, he was immediately happy.

In fact, many people will have such questions when they see the same scene, but Dr. Li is the first to say it so bluntly.

This question is a bit embarrassing, and it is not easy to answer, Fang Jing doesn't want others to pay too much attention to Cen Jiu's origin and family, because this is Cen Jiu's biggest secret. Fortunately, Dr. Li didn't really want to break the casserole and ask the end, so he only teased a little, and then changed the topic, his attitude was different from the previous coldness, and even a little pleasant.

"Xiao Fang, your boat has cost a lot of money just for nursing."

Fang Jing was a little flattered, and nodded again and again, with an expression of finding a soulmate: "Dr. Li, I won't tell you, if no one tows the sunken ship away, I guess I won't be able to raise it." ”

Nima, a sunken ship is not worth the maintenance fee for a day, he is neither a local tyrant, nor the second generation X, just a self-employed person who has just been lifted out of poverty, such a delicate and difficult master, I really can't afford to raise it.

Fang Jing's crying expression obviously amused Dr. Li, and a smile appeared on the coffin's face, but in the next second, the smile disappeared and returned to his usual critical and mocking face.

"Ten million, I towed this boat." Dr. Lee's attitude is very casual, and his tone is particularly tyrant.

Fang Jing was stunned, he had many speculations about Dr. Li's visit, and he had imagined all kinds of possibilities such as holding him accountable for stealing national cultural relics, fighting for the ownership of modern transport ships, etc., but he didn't expect him to open his mouth to buy a sunken ship!

The pie falling from the sky was so beautiful that Fang Jing didn't dare to believe it all of a sudden.

"Dr. Li, are you sure you want to buy this shipwreck?" Fang Jing looked worried, for fear that Dr. Li was just joking and teasing him.

"You don't believe it?" Dr. Lee squinted at him, and his tone rose a notch.

"No, no, no, of course I do." Fang Jing was so oppressed that he became accustomed to it, and immediately denied it.

"Is that too low?" Dr. Lee's tone was a bit dangerous.

"No, no, no, no." Fang Jing was very excited, for fear that Dr. Li would regret it, so he immediately made a decision, "When do you plan to tow the boat away?" ”

Great, he had long wanted to get rid of this delicate and expensive goods, and now that someone was willing to pay 10 million to buy the sunken ship back, he couldn't ask for it, and he wished that Dr. Li could immediately gather a convoy and tow the ship away.

Out of sight, out of mind.

"That's okay, there will be someone in charge of negotiating with you about the details of the shipwreck sale, and we will hurry up and arrange for the shipwreck to be towed away." Dr. Li said, giving the driver a look, and the driver immediately ran out of the yard again, opened the car door, took out a bag from the car, and handed it to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li slid the bag in the direction of Fang Jing on the table, and Fang Jing opened his fingers, stopped the bag, and looked at Dr. Li in puzzlement.

"You read it first, and then you make a decision."

Fang Jing opened the information bag suspiciously, and inside was an employment contract. Dr. Li formally invited Fang Jing to salvage an ancient warship named the Jiangning.

Huh? It turns out that Dr. Li came over so aggressively, in addition to buying his hot potato, but also provided him with a formal salvage job?

Who said Dr. Lee had a weird temper and was unreasonable? He is obviously such a sensible and wise archaeologist.

At this moment, Fang Jing felt that there was no more lovely person in this world than Dr. Li.

Although Dr. Li's favor and recruitment are very exciting, after all, it is a cooperation with the official, and Fang Jing is still a little worried.

He has too many secrets, and operating with the official salvage team will certainly allow him to learn a lot of experience and knowledge about the shipwreck, but it also means a huge risk. And he is not a person now, but a team, although this team has only three regular members so far, he firmly believes that his team will slowly grow in the future, and Dr. Li's contract is obviously only willing to recruit him alone.

If he agrees to Dr. Li's invitation, it means that he will give up his team and become the compiler of the archaeological team, the advantage is that he can access more contacts and the latest equipment, and Dr. Li must have a long list of shipwrecks in their hands that need to be salvaged urgently, which is what Fang Jing lacks the most at present; The downside is that it's not free, and it's not something that can be adapted overnight, from a boss who has the final say to me to an employee who can only do what he does.

The most important point is that if you follow Dr. Li and return the things you fished out to the state, he will at most get some allowances and rewards, and the income will definitely shrink a hundredfold and a thousand times.

Thinking of this, he put the information on the table and said, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully and get back to you in a few days." ”

Dr. Li was not embarrassed, nodded, and raised his wrist to look at the time: "I have to go, there is still a seminar to attend in the afternoon." ”

With that, he stood up and prepared to take his leave.

When he went out, Fang Jing also heard him complaining dissatisfiedly.

"Meetings and meetings, every day I know that there is a meeting, that group of officials and leaders who only know how to sharpen their heads and climb up, and know how to maintain a wreck ship!"

Fang Jing: "......"

This resentment is deep enough.

Fang Jing actually hates the bureaucratic style of those leaders. In the past, when he was in the museum, he was like this, a group of leaders blindly commanded, and when they touched their mouths up and down, the staff below were about to break their legs.

I'm really not afraid that the leader doesn't know how to do it, but I'm afraid that the leader will command blindly.

It turned out that when he got into the status of Dr. Li, he had the same experience as he did at the beginning.

It's hard for him!

Fang Jing glanced at Dr. Li sympathetically, and was glad in his heart, fortunately he resigned early and came out to work alone, otherwise the resentment in the future would definitely be greater than Dr. Li.

Well, he's better to be the boss of his own Wild Road Army!

Dr. Li, who was very resentful of the behavior of some leaders who not only did not, but also prevented others from, did not expect that his casual complaint made Fang Jing more determined to start his own business, so that many years later, recalling today's scene, Dr. Li still choked.

After sending Dr. Li away, Fang Jing couldn't help jumping three feet on the spot happily, and showed off to Cen Jiu: "See, the bigwigs in the archaeological world of the Heavenly Dynasty want me to work in his team, your boyfriend is amazing, right?" ”

Cen Jiu glanced at him, kept moving his hands, continued to clean up the cups used by the guests, and said perfunctorily: "Well, it's amazing." ”

"So you have to be better to me in the future, or I'm so popular, what if I can't think about it, and leave you and run to someone else's ship?"

Cen Jiuyi was cold and indifferent: "Break your leg." ”

Fang Jing: "?!! ”

Damn, do you want to be so cruel?! He's just stealing someone else's boat, not someone else's bed!

"Break your leg." Brother Dark Guard glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and once again leaked domineeringly.

Fang Jing: "......"

"The third leg." Cen Jiu added.

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Fang Jingxia, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Fang Jing inexplicably tightened his chrysanthemum, and faintly felt a little pain—literally.

"What's that...... I'm just talking casually, a good boss doesn't do it, he goes to work for people, and he can't even get a hair from what he fishes, so a fool will do such a stupid thing. Fang Jing faintly felt that there was a hint of danger approaching, and although he didn't understand where the source of the danger was, he still intuitively explained.

As it turned out, his instincts were right, and after listening to the explanation, Cen Jiu finally turned his head and carried the cup that Dr. Li had just used to the kitchen sink to wash.

Transparent tap water gurgled down the faucet.

Cen Jiu rinsed the cup, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, and he hooked a very shallow and faint smile.

Well, his boyfriend isn't stupid at all, so he won't do stupid things.

It doesn't matter if you do something stupid, you will break all three legs if you catch them!
