Chapter 32, Celebration Banquet
Jiao Ba finally said the main point of the matter, I hurriedly paid attention to the demeanor of the people around me, but unfortunately I was still disappointed, no one showed a cunning look, it may be that I am not strong enough, I can't tell the difference at all.
Jenny hurriedly asked, "According to what you say, the coffin was salvaged from the wreck at that time?" ”
"Quite possibly, what do you say?" Jiao Ba threw the words to Mai Lao, he always likes to talk to this old guy recently, and he doesn't know why.
Mai Lao nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense, if this is really the case, then the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty should be near this ship, Jenny, you hurry up and bring the navigation chart, I'll take a look." ”
Jenny hurriedly took the nautical chart, and Mai Lao looked at it carefully and said, "En, that's right, our current position is not far from the position marked on the nautical chart, and the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty must be near here." ”
Jiao Ba took the nautical chart and looked at it again and said, "Indeed, our current position is very close to the position on the nautical chart, to be precise, we have already found the location, but we are just finding the wrong shipwreck." ”
I took the nautical chart in Jiao Ba's hand, looked at it for a long time, and said, "There is no specific proportion on it, how do you know that the shipwreck is near here?" ”
Jiao Ba looked at me from the side and smiled and said, "Brother Yi, you don't understand this, in fact, there are a lot of hints on it, every symbol drawn, even every line, is a hint, oh, you don't understand it, I have been robbing tombs for so many years, I can't be wrong." ”
"Rely on your uncle, count yourself as powerful." I was very unconvinced and threw the chart back, but I couldn't help it, I really couldn't understand it, so we just followed it.
Mai Lao nodded and said, "Okay, since Xiaoba is also so sure, then let's rest for a few days and set off." ”
For this salvage of the shipwreck in the Guangxu period, except for Jenny, everyone else is very happy, especially those sailors, who are so excited that they don't know what their surnames are, so they are ready to start drinking to celebrate, it can be seen that they are really happy, no wonder, now the antique market is so hot, as long as you have good things in your hand, you can sell them at a good price.
Jenny was a little disappointed, except for the only two pieces of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, she decided to divide all the things in the shipwreck to others, whether it was porcelain or silver ingots, she didn't keep any of them, I and Shunzi naturally shared a lot, Shunzi was very excited, these things were taken back to sell, you can fight less than ten years, and the sailors are even more happy.
As for the rotten shipwreck and the coffin female corpse inside, Jenny plans to drag it back in a few days and send it to the National Museum, which can be regarded as a small contribution to the country.
However, Jiao Ba and I wondered, why didn't Jenny and Mai Lao think about opening the coffin to see it, if the other sailors didn't say anything? Aren't they curious about the female corpse in the coffin? Or did they already know the secret of the female corpse?
At that time, I deliberately asked them, "Shall we just send that coffin back?" Don't open it and take a look? ”
Jenny shook her head and said, "If you don't open it, it's just a coffin, what's there to see, and didn't Jiao Ba also say it, it's still dangerous to open it, I think it's better for us to touch it less." ”
I deliberately glanced at Jiao Ba, and he immediately said, "Ah, what, Jenny, I'm just joking, let's open it and take a look, I think everyone is very curious, don't spoil everyone's interest." ”
Jenny glanced at Mai Lao, and the old man smiled and said, "Hehe, it's just a corpse, so what's there to see, if you really want to see it, you two can go by yourself, I won't accompany you." With that, he turned and went back to the cabin.
As soon as he walked on the front foot, Jenny smiled on the back foot, "I'll go back too, you two will do your own thing." ”
Jiao Ba and I looked at each other again, all with helpless expressions.
"Brother Yi, who do you say the man in black will be?" Jiao Ba asked in my ear.
"What else do I want to ask you? Don't you see who is the most suspicious? I glanced at him and said.
Jiao Ba pursed his lips and said, "Damn, it seems that the two of us are of the same grade." ”
In the afternoon, the sailors drank on the deck, I and Shunzi and Jiao Ba were also there, on this occasion, how could there be less of our existence, the big guys drank liquor, went to sea and ocean, and rarely carried beer, I and Shunzi were also very happy, there had not been such a lively gathering for a long time.
Jiao Baben doesn't drink liquor, this is one of his principles, but this time, we still poured a big mouthful, the spicy grandson is a strong drinker, after going to sea for so many days, the big guy is tired like a king and eight calves, and now he finally sees some hope.
Almost all of these people have abandoned their families and careers, and some of them are even singles like me, and they came to the sea to go to sea, isn't the purpose to make two more dollars, although they have encountered some strange incidents before, but they seem to have been diluted by the joy of this time.
Even the death of Kuroko and another sailor seems to have been forgotten by them, but I still remember, this always lingers in my mind, and I always have a feeling in my heart that greater danger is approaching us little by little, but every time I see the smiling faces of these people, when it comes to my mouth, I have to swallow it, so I should give myself and everyone a good hope
Then Jenny and Mai Lao also joined us in the celebration, but Li Xin didn't come, this woman is so cold, I even doubt that she has human feelings.
With a cold dead face all day long, in the beautiful and white, I can't hear a word from her, and no one is answered, pretending to be high all day long, pretending to be knowledgeable, pretending to be an expert, sometimes I even feel that this person does not exist on this ship at all, as if transparent, I am even more lazy to talk to her, save and look at her cold eyes.
We drank very much in a noisy manner, the old man Mai's alcohol is very good, very good, he is the most drinkable person I have ever seen, almost no one is afraid of coming, just raise a glass and do it, this old guy is really massive, similar to a water tank, it is estimated that it is okay to drink a few catties of liquor, it really opened my eyes.
Jenny also drank a glass of white wine, her face was a little red, more charming than before, I deliberately looked at her and said, "This beauty is a beauty, she is so beautiful after drinking." ”
Jenny looked at me with a smile and said, "Did you say that kind of compliment to a lot of girls?" ”
I immediately said righteously, "Hey, you've wronged me about this, I've only told you so far." ”
Jenny gave me a white look and said, "You can do it, when I'm a three-year-old?" If a man's mouth can be believed, the world will be too peaceful. ”
