It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he says it, it makes me more and more curious. But after asking several times, this guy never mentioned it. I wanted to get some information from the old generation, but he also didn't pay attention to me like a fat man.

"Don't, I don't think you guys have a problem, don't leave until you make it clear today." I stood there and said coldly.

He had just walked out a few steps before I shouted and stood in place.

The fat man turned his back to me and sighed: "It's not that I don't say it, it's just that I'm not sure about this thing now, and I'm also confused." ”

He reached out and scratched his crotch in an extremely unsightly motion. After a pause, he said: "Also, this matter really has nothing to do with you, but don't worry, when I catch some clues, I will definitely make it clear to you." ”

Maybe I should have taken the fat man's word for credit, and then told me the whole thing after he really found a clue.

But I really didn't have the slightest interest in the fat man's affairs, and the reason for asking him this was not to want to know what had happened between them before. It's just that I vaguely feel that the scene just now is a bit too abrupt.

What didn't make me uncomfortable was the quarrel between the fat man and the old generation just now, and I looked so fake. When this guy was talking to the old generation, he must have thought, "Ask me quickly, ask me quickly." ”

Every sentence is just hanging on my appetite, so there must be something wrong with these two people. But I just don't know why I asked, and they didn't play according to the routine.

I secretly made a decision, since you are acting, then I will follow you. Let's see what moth you want to play.

I nodded helplessly, and followed them to the door of the cabin on the third floor. There was still a smell of gunpowder in front of the wooden door, and the smell was not dispelled by waving his hand several times.

There was darkness in the hole that had been blown open by the detonator. The broken wooden door panel was pulled off by the old generation, and the three horizontal logs as thick as the fat man's thighs behind the door had broken and fell to the ground not far behind the door.

The flashlight is turned on and the light shines in. The space in the cabin is very large, and when you go straight in, there is a one-person high screen, which is quite well preserved on the surface, and you can still see faint colors on it.

On the screen is a freehand painting, in which an old man dressed in blue and wearing a felt hat on his head resides in the middle of the screen. He still has something in his hand, and the painting style is not realistic, so I can't tell what it is.

The fat man gasped when he saw it: "My grandfather, too, I didn't expect to find this thing here." ”

"What, so excited?"

"Screen." The fat man exclaimed.

"I'm not illiterate, I know it's a screen."

"Hmph......" The fat man laughed twice and continued: "I know that this is a screen, then do you know that this is a screen worth 200 million?" ”

"What." I exclaimed.

At the same time, I also saw that the eyes of the old generation were staring at the boss, and the jaw was already drooping. I'm not much different from him right now.

After a long time, the old man closed the boss's mouth before saying, "200 million VND, isn't this thing just a rotten wooden shelf." ”

"you, this is really 200 million Hong Kong dollars, I saw it clearly at an auction half a year ago. It's still from the late Ming Dynasty, no matter how we are in the early Ming Dynasty, how can we say that it will cost 500 million. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to the sea: "My dragon king grandfather, hey, you really didn't treat me badly, when I get rich, I will sacrifice ten containers of good wine to you." ”

"Why did I just hear that someone was going to roast dragon meat," I said, pretending to be nothing.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The fat man said embarrassedly.

Entering the interior of the cabin, it was a small cabin, and it was so common in the cabin that I could almost touch the planks on the top with my raised hand.

In order to allow the flashlight to shine into a larger space, the old generation twisted the aperture of the flashlight, and the light immediately became divergent, and the illuminated area spread from the original point to almost the entire cabin.

The width of the inside of the cabin is roughly the same as that of the hull, and it looks like 40 meters, but the depth is not so long, and the preliminary estimate is only more than 20 meters.

But this is also a hundred times larger than our small fishing boat, in that narrow fishing boat cabin, it is difficult to turn around, and now here, dozens of people are spread out horizontally, and it is enough to fight the military body boxing.

The fat man came in and went straight to the point, to the front of the screen. The screen is so large that its height is almost touching the roof of the cabin, and its width is about three meters.

His eyes lit up and he touched the edge of the screen. Although I know that this thing is indeed valuable, it must not be able to get it back, not to mention that the height of the door cannot be reached, even if it gets on our ship, this kind of thing will definitely not be able to go ashore.

The fat man was still studying the screen, but my eyes and that of the old generation were not there, and we turned to the back of the screen.

The purpose of the screen itself is to shelter the wind, the ancients believed that the wind blowing in directly through the inner hall through the back window is extremely unfavorable, so there is this thing, used to shield, to avoid the exposure of wealth.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, almost all wealthy families used screens, and some people would make some poems and paintings on them as decorations in order to reflect their status.

After the Ming Dynasty, hanging screens appeared, which exceeded the practicality of screens and became pure decorations. What we have in front of us is something between a screen and a hanging screen, which is both ornamental and practical.

The screen was placed in the center of the cabin, and there was space five or six meters behind it. Don't even think about it, there must be a table behind this screen.

The old generation and I ignored the fat man who studied the screen, and bypassed the screen to the back of it. A slightly larger table sits behind the screen, surrounded by stools, like the long table in the conference hall.

I'm not surprised by anything here, but I'm still shocked when I see it. Directly behind the screen is a chair with a backrest, on which sits a withered white skeleton.

The bones had not fallen apart, and on the ground across the table lay a pile of identical bones. Because of the experience I had last time, I was immediately settled.

The old generation didn't show any surprise when he saw it from the beginning, but when he thought that he had been a soldier, he thought that it might be the reason for this.

"How can there be dead people here?" I asked unintentionally.

He walked over to Bai Gu, who was sitting on the chair, and directly touched Bai Gu's head: "The door is locked from the inside, and these people trapped themselves inside." ”

It dawned on me that I didn't even think of this at the time, and since Yokogi was stuck from the inside, there must be someone inside, and I didn't even realize it.

The old generation must have known this a long time ago, and deduced that there must be someone in the cabin. That's why when I saw the corpse just now, there was nothing unusual.

After he finished speaking, he walked over to the pile of corpses on the other side, and when he got to the side, he squatted down and touched his hands, and then put the hand that had touched the corpses on his chin, and made something like a thinker.

"What did you find?"

"These people died normally, without any external injuries." The old generation turned his head to look at me and said, his face showing a little surprise.

"What kind of mentality do you have, isn't it good to die normally?" I can't say the second half of the sentence, this guy has a problem with his mentality, according to him, if he sees the corpse in a strange death, he will be comfortable.

Because I didn't say half a sentence after that, I paused and stopped. He saw what I meant, and stood up and pointed to the door.

"Under what circumstances would someone lock themselves in a closed room and wait for death?"

As soon as he said this, I immediately understood it as if I had been empowered, and I went to observe the appearance of the bones. The corpse was still sitting in the chair as it had been before death, and there were no broken bones or crevices in the corpse.

This skeleton was completely sitting on a stool and dying here before it died, but why is that? You can open the door and go out, but you have to lock yourself in your room. Is it hard to say that it is the kind of thing that leaves marks on the mast? But wasn't that something that was left over from a while ago?

As I was thinking, the fat man came up from the screen, and as he went, he said, "O pirate, the pirate got on the ship and killed everyone, and the rest could only hide here, shut the doors and windows, and starve to death inside." ”

The fat man's words have serious logical problems, and obviously he is not sure, and he is not so confident when he says it.

Refuting him when it was reasonable, I was looking for this opportunity and finally made me wait.

"This ship is the main ship, not to mention the garrison of at least two thousand, besides, there must be other warships around, how bold are the pirates to dare to rob the Ming fleet."

"Don't underestimate the pirates at that time, do you know that Zheng Yi's sister-in-law's Red Flag Gang knows that they have their own handicap and shipyards, more than 300 big ships, and thousands of artillery. The Qing government and the British joined forces and did not fight anyone. The fat man said.

"It's not." As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the old generation immediately replied in the negative.

The fat man and I looked at him, and with such certainty, he must have known something.

"If you're a pirate and you've robbed an official ship, will you let these people go just because you can't open the door? Those people are so vicious that it is impossible for this ship to stay. He paused, "We've seen it on the boat, and there's no trace of a fight." ”

The old man's words only gave a conclusion that denied the pirates' claims, and he couldn't say why these people behaved so strangely.

The fat man was the initiator of getting on board and into the cabin, and now he has no clue. I looked at him. Only then did I realize that the fat man was no longer where he was. When I looked for him, I saw him rummaging through the body of a seated corpse.

I immediately scolded: "You dead fat man, you have to be molested with corpses, the taste is not light." ”
