Chapter 2: The Ghost Fleet

A few of us approached the copper chest in amazement to see what was so surprising about it. Duoduo is right, on the side of the copper box, there is indeed a small square box-like decoration.

The most surprising thing is that the decorative box is shining brightly outside. Several of us were so amazed that none of us dared to go up and check it out. In the end, I took the plunge. It's not that I'm bold, it's just that I think better than they do.

Because this is the boat that my aunt gave us, they must have checked it beforehand. Even if it is not inspected, there will be no harmful hidden weapons. It is possible that this is deliberately set up in order to get our attention.

Even though I thought so, I was still a little worried. After all, people have a fear of the unknown.

I went to the box and found that someone had installed a small flashing light on the square ornament. This small flashing light is similar to the small light of a mobile phone signal sensor. The light is very weak, and if you don't pay attention, it will not be easy to spot. Just now, thanks to Duoduo's sharp eyes, she saw it all of a sudden.

I looked, not some time bomb; It didn't look like a dangerous device, so he tentatively reached over and pressed the button on it. "Snap", and something popped out.

I picked up a small paper bag-like thing, opened it and saw that it was in my familiar aunt's handwriting: Xiaoyu, the contents of the box are for you. Actually, it should be said that it is for you and your friends. After all, they all went from birth to death with you all the way, and they deserve to be paid. The password is your mom's birthday and only you can open it.

The old ghosts saw that I was safe and sound, and they were looking down at things. Still curious, he approached me. I handed them the note, leaned forward, picked up the lock that hung on it, and saw that it was a combination lock. However, the numbers above are those with Roman capitalization.

After reading the note, the old ghost said excitedly: "Boss, hurry up and see what good things are inside." We all have a copy! ”

I thought about my mother's birthday, and then I turned the password around in order. With a "click", the lock pops open. I thought to myself, this thing looks ancient, and there were combination locks back then? What a wisdom ahead of its time! I was just about to open the lid of the heavy box, but the old ghost suddenly preempted it and lifted it open.

Suddenly, a golden light was projected. If you look closely, the chest is full of gold, silver and jewelry!

"Oh roar~ owner, we have made a fortune this time!" The old ghost danced excitedly, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Boss, your aunt is really a good aunt!" Unexpectedly, she still thinks about us before we meet. It's also my own aunt! ”

We are also ordinary people, and it is not that we are not interested in the treasures in front of us. Looking at such a large box of gold and silver jewelry, he was naturally amazed, and even stunned. For a while, I forgot about the cheers.

At this time, Duoduo took out a piece of paper from the gold and silver. It was also in my aunt's handwriting, which read: These treasures were all looted from He Jianguo's lair. Naturally, ill-gotten gains should be distributed to the hard-working people. They are yours now, and I hope there will be no conflict over the unequal distribution of wealth. Don't worry about us, we've already kept enough of it.

The old ghost saw me and Duoduo looking at the note, thinking it was something good. I hurriedly snatched it, looked at it too, and said, "Auntie said it well, we are hard working people!" She is really a good leader of the people! ”

"Look at your little bit of interest!" Lisa couldn't look at it at this time, so she hurriedly said.

"You're a big deal! If you have the ability, don't ask for your share. The old ghost squeezed Lisa and said.

When Lisa heard this, she also became energetic and said, "Why don't I want it?" I'm not big, but I'm at least bigger than you. ”

Just as I was about to exit to stop them from pinching each other, I heard a loud horn outside. And, after another, it became more and more urgent. I yelled, "Oh no, it seems that there is a situation!" Hurry up and take a look. ”

Duoduo and I hurriedly walked out of the cabin, and the old ghost quickly covered the box, and Lisa and Lisa also walked out of the cabin with us.

As soon as several men emerged from the hatch, they saw Dickens pointing forward. We looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly a very dilapidated wooden mast schooner appeared in front of the ship. It may be due to the suddenness of the appearance, or it may be due to the limited range of the light of our ship itself. See, the wooden boat is about to come to you!

The boat sails in the water and has less friction. After all, it won't be like driving on land, stopping when you say stop, and reversing when you say it's reversing. Dickens was in a hurry, and hurriedly lowered the speed of the ship and struck the rudder to the side.

As a result, our ship crashed into the wooden boat anyway!

A few of us hurriedly ran to the deck, stood on the railing, and kept waving the flashlights in our hands, trying to give each other a warning. In the same way, Dickens was constantly honking. However, the other party was stunned and didn't react at all, and still bumped into us.

What's even more strange is that when I looked at the light, there was no light on the ship. It's the middle of the night, but I don't think I'm going to sleep here. There was no time to think about it, the ship was already close at hand. I thought the ship was coming towards us, but when we got closer, we realized that it was not moving. Because of its surroundings, there are no waves or water waves or anything.

Seeing that we were about to collide, we hurriedly hid backwards.

With a "bang", our boat and the wooden boat collided from the side and collided together. The whole hull of the ship shook, and we were all stumbling, and several of us fell on our backs.

Since the boat could not stop in time, after the collision, my boat continued to sail forward. "Rubbing shoulders" with the wooden boat that was hit suddenly opened up a distance.

It was only after a long distance that our boat gradually stopped. A few of us immediately got up and used our flashlights to check the impact of the ship's hull. Fortunately, it was just a little abrasion and dent, and it was fine, and there was no possibility of sinking into the water for the time being. We told Dickens that it was all right, and then we walked to the back.

Dickens tried to slowly reverse the ship and shine his searchlight backwards to see the damage to the wooden ship. I saw that the wooden ship showed no signs of skewing or sinking. Thinking about it, it is also not badly damaged, and there should be no danger of sinking for the time being.

The ship slowly retreated, and came to a halt as it approached the galleon.

None of them spoke, just quietly followed the light and looked over the wooden boat. After watching it for about ten minutes, the wooden boat was stunned and there was no movement. No lights came on, no living people appeared, not even a ghost in sight.

"Could it be the legendary ghost ship?" Dickens muttered.

"Ghost ship?" Lisa and the old ghost asked in surprise at the same time, and then Lisa looked at the old ghost with disgust. Then he asked Dickens, "Uncle, don't scare us. 'Ghost ship', that is, is there a ghost on this ship? ”

Dickens smiled and said, "That's not what I meant! The so-called ghost boat is a boat that suddenly appears on the sea or on the river. All of these ships have one thing in common: they are empty, but there are no signs of anything out of the ordinary. The hull was intact, but the crew was all missing.

Many of the ghost ships were found with clothes, household items, treasures and other things still there, but there was no one there. Some even have electrical appliances and engines on; The water and food were also warm. Some are boats that have been missing for decades and suddenly appear. Of course, things are also intact, and there are no traces of people. ”

"Huh? And such a weird thing? Lisa asked, her mouth wide open in surprise.

Dickens hummed and stopped talking.

When the old ghost heard this, he suddenly became interested and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean...... These ships and treasures are all there, and the people are gone, are they? ”

"yes? What's wrong? "Dickens was a little puzzled by the old ghost's question.

In fact, as soon as the old ghost opened his mouth, we knew what he was thinking. In particular, the fact that he said the word "treasure" so clearly was enough to reveal his purpose.

At this time, the old ghost said, "Uncle, why don't we go up and have a look?" ”

Dickens waved his hand and said, "More is better than less, let's keep going." These ships are extremely yin! It's better not to mess with it. Young people, sometimes you can't just look at the money. We can't put our lives on the line for a little windfall, it's not worth it! ”

With that, Dickens set about sailing. It made the old ghost a little blushing and thick-necked, and he felt embarrassed. We can't help but learn from Dickens's tone and make fun of the old ghost. It seems that ginger is still old and spicy. He is a clear-eyed person, and he can see the purpose of the old ghost at a glance.

Usually, the old ghost always makes fun of me from time to time, and cries during the decisive battle in Savannah. Today, I finally made fun of him. The old ghost was bored with himself, so he stopped talking.

Dickens restarted his engine, shone his searchlight forward, and set off again. However, not long after sailing, he noticed that another mast wooden ship appeared in front of him. Dickens was more cautious this time and hurriedly made an avoidance. The speed of the ship was not very fast, and gradually, the ship stopped.

Dickens mainly wanted to stop and check the surface of the sea so that he could sail down the lake. This pause was not tight, and we swept around with our searchlights, and we all gasped and shivered. On the sea in front of me, there are all such ghost ships!

Dickens slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, this is the legendary ghost fleet!" ”
