Volume 4 The Stormy Waves Chapter 333 The Woman's Bones

Naturally, there could not be a complete corpse in that coffin, but only a slightly gray skeleton remained.

And this gloom is also due to the humidity of the seabed.

Even the fragments of clothing sticking to the skeleton are fragmentary, making it impossible to distinguish whether they are men's or women's clothes.

But on top of this skeleton, there are several pieces of women's jewelry.

For example, on the left wrist bone, he wears a very conspicuous jade bracelet. On either side of the skull, there is also a pair of jade earrings.

In addition, a gold necklace hanging from the neck bone also looks like a woman should wear it.

In addition to these, there are several pieces of gold and jade jewelry in the coffin, which also look like the style that women should use.

But probably because this woman is not Chinese - at least not a rich lady from Chinese mainland - there is no headdress such as a golden jade hairpin found above the head of this skeleton.

But in the mouth of the skeleton, a turquoise bead was found.

Ding Sicheng gently opened the upper and lower jaws of the skeleton with his hand, and took the bead in his hand to look at it carefully.

The light above the heads of the three of them was all cast on the bead. I saw that the bead was crystal clear, and it was illuminated by the light, exuding a luminous green brilliance.

"Couldn't this be a psychic orb?" Iron Bull asked in a low voice.

"Probably not?" replied Poplar, naturally not very sure, "anyway...... The psychic orb I saw from that psychic mirror was not like this, it was much larger than this one, and it was ...... It's not green either!"

"I don't think this will be a psychic orb either!" Ding Sicheng said, still looking at the green orb, "Legend has it that the psychic orb is Redbeard's belongings, and what is in this coffin must be a woman's bones!"

He would say so sure, not only because of the women's jewelry, but after careful judgment, he had determined that the bones in the coffin had feminine characteristics.

"But this bead should be the most precious treasure in this tomb!" Ding Sicheng continued, "Of course, I just said that when this tomb was built, this bead should be the most valuable treasure. However, in terms of archaeological value alone, it may not be comparable to the other artifacts on this ship. ”

"But even if we take other cultural relics out on our bodies, the people on the salvage ship will be red-eyed. Only this bead is not very big, we might as well put it on first, and when we get out, the people who salvage the boat may not dare to search us!" said Poplar in a low voice.

The reason why he wanted to lower his voice was naturally because there was a Jiang Peng under the wooden boat.

Ding Sicheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "I think so too! The structure of this tomb is so complicated, even if we can get out safely, it is unknown whether the salvage crew can re-enter and transport all these treasures to the sea intact! Not to mention that although this tomb is in the waters of our country, Boss Wei is the private boss of the salvage fleet in Nanyang, and at most he will hand over a part of the benefits to our country after estimating the value of the treasures salvaged. There will definitely be all kinds of deductions in this, it is impossible for him to be so honest, and he will really hand it over in exactly accordance with the agreed proportion. Therefore, we can only be honest and polite, and try to quietly take out those who can be taken out quietly, and strive for more benefits for our country as much as possible!"

Poplar Tie Niu nodded together - in that era, most Chinese people were really dedicated to the public, for example, Chen Xiaopang was a typical example of law-abiding and selflessness. Although Baiyang Tieniu is not as old-fashioned as Chen Xiaopang, since he is a state official, he is wholeheartedly as long as he can receive a monthly salary and allowance, and he will never think of quietly taking the treasures obtained from the public assignment as his own.

However, the three of them were discussing the matter of "quietly taking it out", but Jiang Peng's shout came from below: "Master Chen, can you pull me up too?" I'm alone down there, and I still feel panicked!"

Ding Sicheng looked at the poplar iron bull and said, "Go and pull him up!"

"And what about this bead? We'll have to hide it first, shall we?" said Poplar worriedly.

They were all wearing very close-fitting rubber wetsuits, which required someone to help them put on and take them off, and it was not easy to hide something.

But he didn't expect Ding Sicheng to smile slightly and said: "It's okay, just go and pull him up, just don't make him suspicious, I naturally have a way to hide this bead!"

He said, as he flipped his wrist and stretched out his hand, the bead was no longer in his palm.

Poplar Tie Niu was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, heard Jiang Peng calling from below, hurriedly turned around and walked to the side of the boat, and still pulled Jiang Peng onto the boat with a javelin.

The boat was parked vertically in the big house, and the height from the bottom of the boat to the side of the boat was only two meters five or six, and with Jiang Peng's skills, it was actually easy to climb up.

But he was really scared just now, and although he was a little psychologically stable, he still couldn't use his strength physically.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort for Poplar Tieniu to pull Jiang Peng to the boat.

Jiang Peng probably also understood that he had behaved too badly before, thinking of the trembling state that was about to be frightened crazy, and was seen by Ding Sicheng and the other three, Jiang Peng inevitably showed a state of resignation, but he could only be cheeky to thank Ding Sicheng and the other three for saving their lives, and then full of flattery, only saying that Ding Sicheng's "master and apprentice" martial arts were so high that it was unimaginable, and even the sea ghost died in the hands of his "master and apprentice".

The three of them naturally didn't take his flattery to heart, Ding Sicheng quickly changed the topic, talking about why there was a woman in the coffin, Jiang Peng also shook his head blankly, and said: "This tomb is said to be the tomb of Redbeard, it can't be the legendary Redbeard, it will be a female pirate, right?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept looking at the gold and jade objects in the coffin and the antique artifacts on the deck, as if he was eager to pack them all up and take them away.

Bai Yang and the others actually understood that the reason why Jiang Peng wanted to climb onto the boat was because he was panicked alone, but the more important reason was that the panic subsided, but the greed for money resurfaced.

Bai Yang already looked down on him in his heart, but Jiang Peng didn't wait for Bai Yang and the others to respond, he continued: "It seems that the treasures in the tomb are all on this wooden ship, I don't know if there will be more treasures in the cabin!"

Bai Yang really couldn't hold back, so he reminded him lightly: "Although these treasures are good, it's not certain whether we can go out! Even if we find a way out, it's not convenient to bring these, so I think Master Jiang should not fight these treasures!"

Jiang Peng's face flushed all of a sudden, and he said, "I didn't want to take all of this out, but...... Let's finally come down, everyone else is dead, let's escape from death, if we can take some small things out, it shouldn't be too much, right?"

Ding Sicheng was afraid that Poplar Tieniu would say something even more ugly, so he hurriedly said: "Master Jiang is right, I think let's go into the cabin and have a look!"

Jiang Peng pushed the boat down the water and hurriedly said: "That's it, I think there must be more treasures in the cabin!"

As they spoke, they searched the deck for the cabin cover.

Jiang Peng was familiar with the structure of the ship, and soon found the cover pull ring, so he grabbed it with his hand and lifted it gently, and the cover was lifted.

Several people walked down the cabin one by one, and sure enough, there were some porcelain vases and various daily necessities piled up in the cabin - naturally they were all ancient daily necessities.

And most of these daily necessities are only used by women, such as a rather delicate dressing box with a copper mirror on the box. Inside the box, there are also some gold bead jewelry, plus a few boxes of deteriorated rouge.

At the bottom of the box, there is a folded piece of paper.

The paper must have been made of sheepskin, so it seemed to be in good condition, at least on the surface.

But when Ding Sicheng carefully took it out, as soon as Fang stretched it, the parchment paper was also shattered.

- If it was in China, Ding Sicheng would never take out this parchment directly by hand so rashly, but this is not in China, if he doesn't open this parchment to watch it now, and wait until the salvage boat comes down, even if he can keep this dressing box intact and take it to the sea, it will not fall into his hands to watch.

Moreover, it is very unlikely that all the contents of this tomb will be brought up intact, and once it is submerged, there will not be even a trace of this parchment left.

Fortunately, on those sheepskin fragments, one or two ancient Nanyang characters can still be recognized.

And like this kind of Nanyang ancient script, even Ding Sicheng doesn't know it, but Jiang Peng can know a thing or two.

It's a pity that the parchment is too damaged, and Jiang Peng's ability to recognize Nanyang ancient characters is very limited, so in the end he only barely translated a few words such as "mother", "submarine tomb", and "in the future".

Jiang Peng said: "According to legend, Redbeard is a mixture of Caucasian and Nanyang, his father is a Nanyang pirate himself, and his mother is a Caucasian beauty captured by his father from the sea. Later, it is said that Redbeard's father died young, and Redbeard's mother took on the burden of pirate domination, and Redbeard was in fact raised by his mother. And judging from these burial objects, could it be the legendary Redbeard Submarine Tomb, but in fact, it is not Redbeard himself who is buried, but Redbeard's mother?"

Jiang Peng's speculation cannot be said to be unreasonable. And the Kim boss who Baiyang rescued from the Vietnam Coast Guard ship before also said that he had discovered a submarine tomb.

Could it be that Boss Jin discovered the tomb of the real Redbeard?

And the psychic orb that Poplar saw from the Spiritual Mirror could be hidden in the undersea tomb that Boss Jin discovered?

Bai Yang and the other three had a dark thought in their hearts, and naturally they would not say that they knew with Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng's mind was actually all on the gold beads in the jewelry box, and he couldn't help but say: "Master Chen, you see that these gold beads and jewelry are not big, why don't the four of us divide it and quietly put it on our bodies and take it out, don't say how about it to the people who salvage the boat?"

"I'm fine!" Ding Sicheng smiled slightly, "But the problem is that all the salvage crew members who came down are dead, and it's good that we can bring some things up, but if we really hide them all privately from the people on the salvage ship, first, our conscience will be uneasy, and second, people won't believe that we really didn't bring anything, right?"

"Then ...... Bring as many as you can! Hide the small ones that are not easy to be found by ourselves, and hand over the rest to the salvage team, even if we are worthy of them!" Jiang Peng said again.

Ding Sicheng smiled, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, just do as you say! If we really want to bring some things up, even if we hand them all over to the salvage team, people won't believe that we don't have a private collection! Then simply hide one or two small objects, they won't care too much, and we can hide them with peace of mind!"

"Yes, yes, it's still Master Chen's thoughtfulness and reasonableness!" Jiang Peng patted his ass.
