Chapter 25, Surfacing
The next morning, Mai Lao and Shunzi prepared everything, and went to the sea to start salvaging the wreck, because the volume of the wreck was not very large, Mai Lao decided to use the pontoon to salvage it as a whole, but Jiao Ba proposed to carry a part of the porcelain to the fishing boat first, and then salvage it as a whole, as for the coffin, it will not be moved for the time being, and after the salvage is up, it will not be too late to open it, so that it can at least be safer than under the deep sea.
Junko and I agreed with this idea, and in the end, we discussed it and decided to move some of the porcelain to the ship first, and then salvage the whole shipwreck.
Jenny sent someone to put the iron net on the ship under the deep sea, saying that it was an iron net, but in fact it was a large iron box, fixed with wire ropes around it, and placed on the bottom of the sea, so that some things could be carried up first, and the wreck was relatively easy to salvage, and everything was arranged properly, or led by Mai Lao, except for me, all the sailors went to sea.
This time I was on the deck with Jenny waiting for the fruits of victory, a rare rest, it's not easy, I've been at sea for so many days, I'm almost not idle, it's harder than his mother I'm in the army, it's really too difficult to earn this money, I swear in my heart that I won't go to sea if I give more money in the future, this is the last time.
"You say, will the wreck be salvaged smoothly this time?" Jenny's words rang out next to me.
"It should be no problem, it wasn't because of an emergency last time, it would have been salvaged a long time ago." I turned my head to look at her and said, Jenny was standing next to me, I could ask about the scent on her body, this is body fragrance, not the smell of perfume, it smells good, a bit like the smell of milk, looking at his fair face, I really want to give it two sips.
"I hope this time can be completed smoothly, I hope the ancestors will bless you." She folded her hands and closed her eyes in silent prayer, but if prayer had been useful, the world would have been peaceful.
I smiled helplessly, took out my cigarette and lit it, smoking leisurely, patiently waiting for the news of their victory.
After an hour or so, the iron net was raised, and there were a lot of porcelain and some messy things in it, Jenny and I took out the contents and checked them, most of them were some porcelain bottles and jars, and some corroded silk, it seemed that we knew that there was nothing too valuable, and before they came back, I would make a move first.
I crouched down, tossing and turning, muttering, "Fuck, why not?" Where did it go. ”
Jenny looked at me for a long time and suddenly asked me, "Hey, what are you looking for?" It's been a long time since you've been turning the tide. ”
I replied to her without looking up, "Looking for silver?" I remember seeing silver ingots underwater. ”
Jenny gave me a blank look and said, "Money lovers know money." ”
I stopped what I was doing, stood up and looked at her and said, "Nonsense, what kind of life do I have if I don't have money, do you think everyone is like you, born in an upper class?" Besides, I deserve it. ”
Jenny sighed and said, "The silver ingot can't be here, it's an iron net, I guess Mai Lao will find a way to get it, let's wait." ”
I looked at the porcelain in the iron mesh and said, "Do you think these things are worth anything?" ”
Jenny squatted down, picked up a blue and white porcelain, looked at it carefully, and said, "If it is something from the Yongle period, it will be very valuable." ”
"Then is this blue and white porcelain from the Yongle period?" I asked casually.
Jenny put down the blue and white porcelain, stood up and looked at me and said, "If I knew how to look at this thing, I wouldn't need to look for Jiao Ba." ”
While the two of us were talking, Mai Lao and Junzi climbed onto the boat one by one, and after a few minutes, all the sailors returned to the ship, and the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder was not enough, so it was back to reoxygen.
Jiao Ba threw down the oxygen cylinder, sat on the deck and scolded, "Damn, it's been more than an hour, and the boat is still underwater, and there is no movement at all." ”
Junko also complained, "Yes, it's not easy, it's difficult to work under deep water, but now it's even more difficult." ”
Jenny asked puzzled, "What's the matter?" What's going on again? ”
Mai Lao sighed and said, "It's not a big deal, but I don't know why, the sunken ship has sunk into the sediment on the bottom of the sea, which is much deeper than yesterday, and it is estimated that the salvage time will be a little longer." ”
"It's not just a little longer, it's good to be able to get it today, if you want me to say, if it doesn't work, just empty the things, then what does the broken ship want it for, it's worthless." Jiao Ba sat on the deck and pointed and said.
"I think it's okay, just get something valuable, don't be crazy when the female corpse in the coffin is crazy, it's over." Junko gasped next to him and said, I could see that he was very nervous, the coffin female corpse left us with too much mystery, I always felt that there was a yin aura hanging near the wreck.
"That's not good, I said it, no matter what is in that coffin, as long as it can be salvaged, it must be salvaged, and that ship is very valuable." Jenny immediately refuted Jiao Ba's words.
I continued to talk, deliberately burying Jiao Ba and said, "It's better to salvage it steadily, Eighth Master, you have to work hard." ”
Jiao Ba's face turned green by my words, but he didn't dare to squeak, everyone else was snickering next to him, Mai Lao looked at the time and said, "Change the oxygen, rest for twenty minutes and go to the sea." ”
Twenty minutes later, Mai Lao led the team, all the sailors went to sea again, Jenny and I, and Li Xin, still patiently waited on the boat, and finally after about three hours, the wreck was salvaged by the pontoon, the whole boat was excited, especially Jenny, who was excited to jump, it seems that she has been looking forward to this day for a long time, in fact, I am also very happy, after all, the hard work and sweat of these days have finally paid off.
The wreck of the pontoon salvage is next to our fishing boat, and after salvaging it, I found that the ship is actually in tatters, and the degree of decay is very serious.
This time, in addition to the cabin with the coffin, we turned the entire shipwreck upside down, originally I was going to open the coffin, but Jiao Ba repeatedly stopped it, even if Mai Lao and Jenny couldn't talk, Jiao Ba's attitude was very hard, if anyone wanted to open the coffin, he immediately left in a lifeboat, saying that he would not stay on the ship.
It can be seen that he is still very afraid of this female corpse in his heart, in fact, I am also afraid, but I want to figure out everything more, during this time, I obviously feel a little unwell, I don't know if it is the pressure brought to me by this female corpse, or something else, in short, it is not very good, although we agreed to Jiao Ba on the surface, but I didn't think so in my heart, I decided to find a night to rest and open the coffin in person.
In the other cabins of the wreck, there were still no treasures, the best things, that is, the porcelain, and some scattered silver ingots, I thought there would be a big treasure box with all kinds of strange treasures, but there was no damn bullshit, and it seemed that I could only pin my hope on these porcelain.
As for the bodies of the five dead divers, we first asked Li Xin to do an autopsy, when Li Xin saw the death of these five people, her expression immediately betrayed her thoughts, maybe she never thought that someone would die so tragically and terrifyingly, and the other sailors were the same, after seeing the corpses of these five people, their faces turned pale, and even several people vomited.
Li Xin frowned, and after carefully inspecting with a mask, she stood up and shook her head lightly and said, "The death of these five people is very strange, it is not due to trauma, but myocardial infarction that caused them to die in the first place. ”
"Myocardial infarction? Is it all five? I asked casually.
"Well, yes, although the corpse is more seriously corroded, I can still judge it, from their frightened expressions, they should have seen something terrible, and then it caused the occurrence of myocardial infarction, and then caused death." Li Xin said very seriously, this time, she was not as good as before.
"Aside from that, how did they get their injuries?" Mai Lao asked beside him.
Li Xin pulled off his gloves and said, "It seems to have been bitten by some kind of creature, but I can't tell what the specific creature is, but it's definitely not man-made." ”
"It's supposed to be the work of bloodthirsty insects, and I can't think of anything else like this other than this group of creatures." Jiao Ba said very casually, without any expression on his face.
I looked at Li Xin and said, "Now you believe it, the death of these five people is indeed very strange, and it caused myocardial infarction at the same time, do you feel that it is because of fear?" ”
Li Xin also looked at me and said, "I don't know this, what they saw, whether it was caused by fear, I think only they know, do you want to 'go down' and ask them?" ”
I sneered and said, "Don't bother, you don't 'go down' as a doctor, why should I 'go down', you say?" "This chick is so ugly to speak, she actually hopes that Lao Tzu will die early, this is also a woman, otherwise I really want to slap her a few big mouths.
Li Xin snorted coldly and left, and threw the corpses of these five people to us again, Mai Lao called a few sailors, and simply disposed of the five corpses, that is, wrapped them with some plastic sheets, tied some lead and other things on their bodies, and then threw them into the sea, and carried out a so-called sea burial, dust to dust, soil to earth, and in the end you have to feed the fish
