Volume 4 The Stormy Waters Chapter 316 Another Map
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and I was afraid that I would not be able to do anything once I had eaten.
But after all, it was at sea, and although several people poured wine, it was just a drink, and they just talked to each other about friendship.
It turned out that the three Vietnamese had cooperated with the salvage ship before, and the three of them were very good at water, and the one surnamed Kim was said to be able to hold his breath underwater for half an hour.
Poplar and Tie Niu can also hold their breath underwater for more than half an hour, but that's because they have eaten immortal medicine and golden python gall, these three Vietnamese people don't have such an opportunity, if they can really rely on their ability to hold their breath underwater for half an hour, it is indeed very admirable.
Of course, the skills of these three Vietnamese are definitely not just water-based, and it is said that the three of them are also very famous in the Vietnamese tomb robbery industry.
However, with how much skill he had, he couldn't cover Ding Sicheng and the other three, so although the three of them didn't bother a few Chinese, they didn't dare to show their toes.
As for the two Koreans, they were already afraid of Ding Sicheng and the others in their hearts, but their faces still barely supported the arrogance and loftiness of his experts, and they refused to talk to the Chinese more.
A few Chinese are too lazy to meet them in general, plus there is a big boss Wei and the second boss of Wei playing round, so a meal is also eaten amiably.
For fear of making Boss Jin sad again, everyone didn't mention or ask what happened to Boss Jin's salvage team, but while eating and drinking, they discussed how to get up early tomorrow morning and start exploring and excavating the submarine tomb.
Boss Jin slowly understood, and couldn't help but interject and ask: "Listen to what you mean, this undersea tomb you found is definitely ...... The grave of the great pirate Redbeard from hundreds of years ago?"
"It's basically certain!" Boss Wei replied, "We have obtained an ancient map, and we have found this submarine tomb by following this map! Moreover, the two Korean experts have gone into the water several times in the past two days, and they have determined that there is indeed an underwater tomb underneath!"
"That's it!" Boss Jin's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone else looked at Boss Jin, and Bai Yang endured it for a while, and finally spoke: "I was on that Vietnamese pirate ship, and I heard Master Jin say that the reason why the Vietnamese left Master Jin alive seems to be ...... You want to force Master Jin to hand over the map of the Redbeard Underwater Tomb, right? Could it be that Master Jin also has a map of the Redbeard Underwater Tomb?"
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table was taken aback.
Boss Wei Er blurted out, "It's impossible, right? Our map was salvaged from a shipwreck at the same time as Redbeard, and it was hidden in a very delicate metal box that is still sealed to this day, but I don't know where Master Jin's map came from?"
When Boss Jin heard this, his face also changed color, and he asked, "You say...... That map of yours is also hidden in a very elaborate, sealed metal box?"
His word "also" not only made everyone else present hear the mystery, but Boss Wei and Boss Wei Er looked at each other.
Boss Wei said: "In this way, Master Jin's map is also hidden in a metal box, but I don't know when and where Master Jin got this metal box?"
Boss Jin opened his mouth and closed it again, and his face once again showed that wandering expression.
Several people all looked at his face, waiting for his answer, but he let out a long breath and said, "You are just me...... In short, since Boss Wei has obtained a map of the Red Beard's Tomb, then my map must be fake!"
"Why don't Master Jin take out your map and take a look! Let's distinguish which map is real and which map is fake! If Master Jin's map is real, we won't have to do useless work here!" said Boss Wei Er.
"How can it be useless?" Zhu Yunli couldn't help but answer, "My brother has already determined that there is indeed a hollow building with gas down here, so the map in the hands of the two Wei bosses must not be fake!"
Boss Jin smiled bitterly and said, "This Korean expert is right, the map in the hands of the two Wei bosses must be true, and my map must be fake! Not to mention...... In order to prevent the map from falling into the hands of Vietnamese bandits, I would have destroyed it long ago!"
Not many people here would believe what he said, but at this point, it was difficult for others to continue to ask.
A meal doesn't end until the sun is in the west. Boss Wei discussed with a few people and decided to go into the water early tomorrow, and for the rest of the day, everyone will be free to move around, and they will rest early in the evening.
The poplar iron bull's eyes look at the red and gorgeous sunset, and the blue sky and blue sea are reflected in a red piece, and it is impossible to distinguish where is the sky and where is the sea, and it is inevitable to enjoy watching with great interest.
Until the red glow dissipated and the night fell, the two brothers entered the cabin arranged for them by the boss of Wei Er to rest.
The cabin was naturally very cramped, and there were two bunk beds installed in the cabin.
So in addition to Poplar and the other three, Boss Jin also lived with them.
Just because they are going to go to the sea early tomorrow morning, Ding Sicheng and Poplar Tie Niu go to bed early and lie down.
The two young men naturally slept on the upper bunk. Boss Jin slept under the poplars, but he couldn't fall asleep when he flipped over.
In the end, he finally sat up and asked Ding Sicheng in the dark, "Master Chen, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, does Master Jin have something to say?" replied Ding Sicheng.
"There's something I want to discuss with Master Chen!" said Boss Jin.
"Then you can say it, I'll listen!" Ding Sicheng replied as he sat up in the dark.
"I just want to ask, Master Chen...... Is it from the government?" asked Boss Kim cautiously.
"Why does Master Jin think like this?" Ding Sicheng asked rhetorically.
"First of all, Master Chen has an extraordinary bearing, unlike us...... Second, I know that every time a Qianlong salvage ship makes an important discovery, it will first report it to the relevant countries, so that they will not be bumped into by the coast guard ships of the relevant countries in the process of salvage, and then they will lose all their money! And once he has made a report, the relevant countries will generally send one or two government personnel to participate in the salvage, so that when the salvage is completed, they can divide the interests with the Qianlong salvage team according to the facts! And this is our Chinese waters, so ...... Jiang Peng, I know that he is definitely not from the government, only Master Chen may be from our government!"
Ding Sicheng didn't expect him to think about it so thoroughly, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, neither admitting nor denying it, but said: "But I don't know which sea area Master Jin's swift salvage ship was salvaged in before, and did he report it to the relevant countries?"
"This ...... We only found an ancient shipwreck temporarily, and we weren't sure we could catch anything, so we ...... I didn't dare to report it to the government!" replied Boss Jin, a little embarrassed.
Ding Sicheng smiled and said, "Judging from that sack of gold and silver antiques, Master Jin's harvest this time is not small!"
"This ...... I was about to tell Master Chen about this!" Boss Jin said, sniffing again, as if it was still uncomfortable to mention it, "Those gold and silver antiques were bought by my brothers and companions on the ship, and now they have been killed by Vietnamese robbers, I thought...... Bring these antiques back and distribute them to the families of my brothers and colleagues, so that they will not lose the main labor of the family and have a hard time in the future!"
Ding Sicheng was silent.
Bai Yang was not asleep at that time, and couldn't help but say on the top: "We didn't get those antiques from you, but from the ships of Vietnamese robbers! I and my master have already seen those things before, and they are all precious cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty period in our country, so ...... I'm afraid that we can't hand it over to you for distribution, but to the state!"
"I know, I know!" Boss Jin hurriedly said, "Even my life was saved by Brother Bai, how dare I think that the three of you can return that bag of treasures to me? Even if you are not from the government, you will not return it to me so easily, right? Not to mention...... Listening to the meaning of Bai Xiaoge'er's words, I guessed that it was not bad before, the three of them must be from the government!"
Bai Yang didn't answer, and Ding Sicheng said: "We are deeply sympathetic to your experience, but ...... As you said, whether we are from the government or not, I am afraid it will be difficult to hand over these treasures to you again!"
"I know!" Boss Kim sighed softly, "So...... I want to ...... I'll trade something else with you!"
"Oh?" Ding Sicheng was surprised, "This sack of treasure is not cheap, but I don't know what you want to exchange with us?"
"That's what I said before...... Redbeard's Underwater Tomb!" Boss Jin said through gritted teeth.
With ......an "ahh Boss Wei, is the map in their hands real......? Do you really have a map?"
"I'm not sure if the map in Boss Wei's hand is real, but I always feel that the map in my hand must be true!" said Boss Jin.
Ding Sicheng was silent for a while.
Bai Yang couldn't hold back his mouth and asked, "Why do you think that the map in your hand must be real?" If the map in your hand is real, then the map in Boss Wei's hand is not fake?"
"This ...... I can't tell!" Boss Kim let out a long sigh of relief, "My map...... Although it is not like the map in the hands of Boss Wei, it was salvaged from a shipwreck under the sea, but ...... The box containing the map is the same as Boss Wei said, it is a very delicate and very well sealed metal box! And I have already done field research with this map, and I have found the location of the submarine tomb on the map! It's just ...... I have never opened the submarine tomb, and I am afraid that once I rush into the tomb, the sea water will rush into the tomb in an instant, and not only will the entire tomb be destroyed, but it will also be difficult for us to escape, so I have never dared to act rashly! It happened that during that time, we found an ancient shipwreck in the Ming Dynasty, and I originally thought that after salvaging this ancient shipwreck, I would make an appointment with the master to excavate the submarine tomb of Redbeard, but unexpectedly...... Just when we had just salvaged the treasure from the ancient shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, we encountered Vietnamese robbers!"
Speaking of the last sentence, Boss Jin choked up again and gritted his teeth.
