Chapter 54, The Little Golden Key
Then, we bandaged the injured area first, and also changed some new medicine for Junko, there were still a lot of medicines on this boat, I had a little wound in my calf, and I also got some medicine, and there was enough food in the fishing boat, and then we had a full meal, and I was finally out of the bitter sea of hunger.
Although this fishing boat is not as big as ours, it is still equipped with a lot of items, fresh water and food are very sufficient, Mai Lao does not seem to be in a hurry at all, he asked me to rest first, and then set off later, and the four of us slept beautifully in the rest cabin.
I slept from morning to night, and when I got up, there was no one in the rest cabin, I looked out the window, and it was getting dark again, and I stretched my muscles, and I slept very well.
I got up and got dressed and walked out of the rest room, Junko and Jiao Ba were on the deck, and when they saw me coming, Jiao Ba waved his hand and said, "Hello, good morning brother." ”
I smiled and walked over and said, "It's dark and early." Then I patted Junko's arm and said, "I've been so badly injured, what kind of sea breeze is blowing here, be careful to aggravate the injury." ”
Junko grinned and said, "It's okay, Brother Yi, it's much better." ”
Jiao Ba said beside him, "Shunzi is in good health, don't worry, Brother Yi, I can't die for the time being." ”
"Fuck your uncle, shut your beak." Junko scolded him with a smile.
Jiao Ba was not angry, but laughed, it seems that after this death, the relationship between these two people has deepened a lot, and I am also very relieved to look at it, it should be like this, when they go to sea, they are all brothers, and they should take care of each other.
I looked left and right and asked casually, "Why are you two alone, Mai Lao?" ”
Jiao Batou Yiniu said, "Then, the operation is at the helm." ”
"You two stay first, I'll go find Mai Lao." With that, I turned around and walked towards the operator's room.
Mai Lao was driving the fishing boat in the operation room, and I walked over and said, "Mai Lao, you are tired, do you want to take a break?" ”
Mai Lao turned his head to look at me and said, "It's okay, I've long been used to it, I used to be at the helm for a few months when I went to sea." ”
"Isn't there still us, we have to help you share the burden." I'm telling the truth, this old guy is also a human being, don't be tired.
"I really want you to help, but which of you will watch the route?" When Mai Lao said this, he was a little helpless.
My face was a little embarrassed, it's true, this is not a car, this vast and big one can only look at the route, I suddenly wanted to talk to him, so I simply asked him, "Mai Lao, I think a professor of your identity should not be short of money to spend, right?" So what are you going to sea for? ”
Mai Lao looked at me with ulterior motives and asked, "Then why do you say I went to sea for?" ”
"How do I know, I won't ask you if I want to know." This old guy is talking nonsense, I need to ask you if I want to know.
Mai Lao smiled and said, "Don't think I am so noble, I am also a layman, although part of it is for scientific research, but from my personal point of view, I am also here for money, in this world, who will be afraid of money to bite their hands?" You say yes, right? ”
This old guy was quite direct, "Well, too, everyone is a layman, Mai Lao, how long will it take for us to get to the location of the shipwreck?" "That's what I'm most concerned about, and I'm too lazy to ask who's at the helm.
"At this rate, it's okay in a few hours, what? In a hurry? Mai Lao glanced at me, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this old guy's eyes are always so blurry, unpredictable.
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, you can find it after looking for it, and it won't be too late, then I'll go back first, you're tired." ”
"Well, go back and rest and rest, when we find a place, we are busy." Mai Lao patted me on the shoulder and said.
I smiled and nodded, turned around and left the operation room and walked to the deck, on the deck, Jiao Ba was alone there smoking and looking at the wind, Shunzi was no longer there, I walked next to him, took the cigarette from his hand, took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm, comfortable, why are you yourself, Junzi?" ”
Jiao Ba lit a cigarette again, "He's going to eat." ”
"Why don't you go? What are you doing here? "It's rare for me to see Jiao Ba so quiet, and he can smoke alone and look at the dark sea, which is a bit inconsistent with his character.
Jiao Ba sighed and said, "Hey~~ It's nothing, I just feel that there are too many things to encounter when I go to sea this time, one after another, it's been so long, we haven't found the real Ming Dynasty shipwreck, and now it's been thrown here by our own people, think about it carefully, it's really fucking miscellaneous." ”
I smiled and said, "This is what you are trying to do, if you don't say that you can make a lot of money by going to sea this time, how can I and Junko come." ”
Jiao Ba said with an apologetic face, "Brother Yi, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it would be like this, you and Shunzi were almost killed several times, I want to know that it can be so dangerous, I won't let you two go to sea if I say anything, I'm really sorry." ”
I looked at Jiao Ba, he was serious, not only was his face full of apologies, his eyes were still a little red, I put my arms around his shoulders and said, "Forget it, didn't you almost lose your life, let's brothers, don't say those useless words, since this is already the case, we have to play to the end, if we don't understand the man in black and the secret of this nautical chart, I really won't go back." ”
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "Well, we must find out about the matter, by the way, Brother Yi, I will show you something." As he spoke, he took out a small golden object from his clothes, and looked left and right after taking it out, for fear that someone would know.
As soon as I looked at this thing, my eyes lit up, "You got this from the beard?" ”
"Well, this is it, this is what he pryed from the mouth of the female corpse." Jiao Ba's face was full of excitement and pride, and he grinned thiefly, as if he had found the answer.
I waved my hand and said, "Let's go, go up there." ”
The two of us came from the deck to a hidden place next to the fishing boat, I took it and looked at it carefully, but after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't understand what it was, the only thing I was sure of was that it was definitely made of pure gold, this thing could be the size of a walnut, a little similar to a small diamond, but not exactly diamond, and there was a bar at the back, just at the bottom of the side of the diamond.
"What the is this? Four, isn't it? "I really didn't see this thing, the female corpse actually hid this thing in her mouth.
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either, I've been looking at it for a long time, and I haven't come out with four, five, or six, it stands to reason that if it's pure gold, she has no reason to put it in her mouth, there must be some secret to this thing." ”
My mind was spinning rapidly, and after thinking carefully, I said, "Well, I think so too, if it is really a relative of the emperor, who cares about this bit of gold?" What the hell is this? "The two of us were in a state of confusion, and I remember very well that the bearded man's eyes lit up when he saw it, and it couldn't be just because it was made of gold.
Jiao Bafang Buddha was talking to himself, "Could it be some kind of information?" It's like that half of the jade pendant, with some kind of code. ”
Signal? I thought about it carefully, as if I understood something, and suddenly said, "Yes, I just remembered your secret code, can it be something similar to a key, or a hidden kind of information, under what conditions can it work?" ”
Jiao Ba's eyes rolled, looked at me and said, "It's possible, but it's just your guess, and I have to go back to our fishing boat to find out." ”
"Back to the fishing boat? What do you mean? "I didn't understand Jiao Ba's words.
Jiao Ba whispered, "I brought a diary of the old man of my family, which contains some strange things, and I'll see if I can find some clues from there." ”
I nodded and said, "Well, it seems like that's all it takes, but I'm sure it's not that simple." ”
