Chapter 66, The Stake for Life
After Jiao Ba's words were finished, Junko asked very idiotically next to him, "What?" Granary ship? What does this mean? ”
I looked at him and said, "It's a ship loaded with grain, and it's been going to sea for several years, and if you don't have it, how can you live without it, but if it's really a granary ship, I think we're playing in vain." ”
Junko said a little frustrated, "Won't it?" If that's the case, I don't think we'd better go to the sea, there's something worth tossing about a pile of rotten grain. ”
Although Junzi said it was an idiot, it was not unreasonable, if the soldiers were lost, and a granary ship was salvaged in the end, it would be really interesting, what is the use of rotting grain in the cabin? Can you eat it? Can you still sell it for money? It's just scrap.
On the contrary, if it is a treasure ship, it will be different, such a big shipwreck, just get a few treasures, it is enough for us to live for a lifetime, but these are not the most important things, I am not very interested in these things now, the important thing is whether this shipwreck can bring me some information, some information I want to get, although I like money, but I want to solve all these puzzles.
Jenny smiled and said, "I don't think it should be, the ancestor deliberately left this nautical chart, not just for us to find a granary ship sunk at the bottom of the sea, I believe this is a treasure ship, what do you think?" ”
Old man Mai took a sip of the hot water on the table and said, "I think so, but if it's really a useless granary ship, then we can't do anything, so we can only gamble." ”
I smiled helplessly and said, "Hehe, this is really a gamble with human life." ”
"Zhongyi, what do you mean by that?" Mai Lao looked at me coldly, and his tone was very dissatisfied with what I had just said.
I immediately smiled and said, "Old Mai, don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, but it's really dangerous for us to go to the sea this time, and there will be casualties." ”
Jenny said with a worried look, "Yes, there is a certain danger in going to sea, and salvaging the sunken ship is even more so, but it was not easy to find the wreck, so we can't just give up." ”
I looked at her and said, "I understand what you mean, and I don't plan to give up, don't worry, since I took your money, I have to make things clear to you." ”
Jenny nodded with a slightly bad face, and Mai Lao suddenly asked me at this time, "Zhongyi, did you encounter anything when you were underwater just now?" ”
I glanced at Jiao Ba, and said with an ugly face, "Well, I saw that black shadow again when I was underwater just now, and I don't know what the hell it is, in short, the speed is very fast, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye." ”
Mai Lao deliberately looked at Jiao Ba, and Jiao Ba deliberately lied, "Yes, I also saw it, I was so frightened at the time that I almost screamed, I didn't know what it was, I saw a black thing disappear in an instant, it's really fucking evil." ”
After Jiao Ba's words were finished, Jenny and Junzi's faces were not very good, and they all turned their eyes to him, Jiao Ba spread his hands and said, "What do you all think of me, I'm just telling the truth." ”
Mai Lao asked calmly, "Zhongyi, then what do you think we should do now?" ”
Damn, this old guy, actually asked me back, how the hell do I know, I shook my head helplessly and said, "I don't know, I really can't do anything, I don't know what that thing is, how do I think about countermeasures, Mai Lao, what I said is the truth." ”
This old guy's eyes were suspicious, as if he was a little suspicious of what I said, in fact, sometimes I don't understand, since he doesn't believe me, why did he want to save me and Jiao Ba, but on the other hand, I thought about it, could the reason why he saved us both is because he knows that we have a jade pendant in our hands, or that we still use the value of use? Anyway, I still can't understand him.
Mai Lao nodded and said, "Of course I believe what you said, we have experienced so many lives and deaths together, how can I doubt your reasoning, but now that the arrow is on the bow, we have to send it, even if we know that there is danger ahead, we have to go." ”
I knew it would be like this, and it was in vain, but I still didn't pay much attention after a long time, Jiao Ba suddenly said, "It's certain that we will go to sea, I just hope that we can gain something this time, preferably this is a treasure ship, our hard work is not in vain, what do you say, Brother Yi." ”
I knew that Jiao Ba was deliberately saying this, and I said very cooperatively, "Yes, isn't the purpose of going to sea to make money, of course it's best to have treasures." ”
Jenny snorted very coldly and said, "Don't worry, if it's really a treasure ship, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to the two of you." ”
I deliberately pretended to be greedy for money and said, "Oh, that's the best, haha, you're happy, we're happy." "I know that Jenny looks down on me a little, maybe in her heart, I still have a little bit of heroism, but now I have been completely pushed down by my words, there is no way, in order not to arouse suspicion, I can only do this.
Mai Lao looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, do you have any other opinions and questions?" ”
"Jenny, I've always wanted to ask you, is there anything else we are going to sea for this time besides salvaging the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Xin suddenly burst out at this time, looking at Jenny with a very ignorant expression.
"There shouldn't be any, when I went to sea, my family just told me that I could find the wreck according to the location on the chart, and I didn't say anything else." Jenny replied to him very seriously.
Jiao Ba interjected, "Maybe your family is hiding from you?" Hehe, don't see it, I'm just talking about it casually, and we'll know when we salvage this wreck. ”
"Okay, okay, do you have anything else going on?" Mai Lao asked again, and we collectively shook our heads, "Okay, let's not waste time, get ready, and go to the sea after a while." ”
An hour later, we dressed up again and prepared to go down to the sea again to detect the wreck, by this time it was completely dark, the sea breeze was blowing, only a few seabirds were still flying, there was the sea on all sides, not even a small island could be seen, the dark sea was like a devil, and people trembled when they looked at it.
Some sailors are not very satisfied, after all, they have already gone to the sea twice, and they will be very tired when they go to the sea several times in a row, and if they go to the sea several times in a row, they will consume a lot of physical strength, and it is still dark, and the visibility under the water is lower, which also makes it more difficult to go to sea, and the danger is higher, but they only muttered a few words, and did not dare to say anything else.
I have been at sea for many years, and I have a deep understanding of the fear of ***, but there has never been a time when I have such a nervous state of mind, Jiao Ba touched me and said, "Brother Yi, are you still worried?" ”
I looked at him and said, "What do you say?" This time we may have no return, so we have to be mentally prepared. ”
Jiao Ba suddenly said very gentlemanly, "I have been ready for a long time, how can the eldest husband be afraid of death, besides, who has not died in this life since ancient times, it is just a matter of time or time." ”
", when did you become so righteous? I remember that you used to be very sorry for your life, and when I was about to open the coffin of the woman's corpse, you didn't agree to it. I looked at him with disdain, how could this grandson suddenly change sex.
Jiao Ba said with a vicissitudes of life and death on his face, "After these few life and death tribulations, I also saw it, this person is a life, when you should die, you can't live if you want to, and when you shouldn't die, you can't die if you want to." ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to open it if you want to, there are so many people anyway, what are you afraid of?" ”
Junzi came over at this time and said, "Brother Yi, eight, you two have to be more careful, I'm waiting for your good news on the boat." ”
I smiled at him and nodded, Jiao Ba patted him on the arm and said, "Don't worry, Junzi, I'll be fine with your brother." ”
Mai Lao beckoned all our sailors together at this time, "Everyone, in order to salvage the wreck as soon as possible, and for everyone to get the money to go home this morning, we have to go to sea continuously, I hope you can all understand." ”
After hearing the word money, the other sailors responded one after another, if this money can make the ghost grind, it is not false at all, Mai Lao saw that everyone's momentum was very high, and he continued, "Let me remind you, you must be more careful after going to the sea, don't work alone, the eight of us are divided into two groups, when each group probes, we must pay extra attention, don't be careless, do you have anything else?" ”
Needless to say, Jiao Ba and I naturally agreed, and the rest of the sailors also agreed, and Mai Lao finally waved his hand and shouted in his mouth, "Very good, go to the sea." ”
