Chapter 26 Tides (above)

Uncle Ming also said: “Hu Chai is right, I used to run the ship, I saw a Thai bought a pebble, put the stone in an empty bowl, overnight, can produce a bowl of water, the Thai businessman thought there is a treasure in the stone, want to explore its secrets, but I can not think of smashing open, there is only a wang of water, and two transparent small fish, soon died, and the stone is worthless, he almost stimulated jumped into the sea, this stone in the water, fish in the water, is a natural creation, but there is nothing strange, but this stone mirror ancient coffin is really great, but this stone mirror ancient coffin is really great, but this stone mirror ancient coffin is really great, but this stone mirror ancient coffin is really great. He was almost stimulated to jump out of the sea, this stone in the water, fish in the water, is a natural creation, but there is nothing strange, but this stone mirror coffin, really is a wonderful treasure, you see how dense the water pattern on this ……”

Uncle Ming said this suddenly a little difficult, such a large sarcophagus, the cabin has been filled with a variety of supplies, where there is room to place? Fatty said this is too simple, I saw a mezzanine in the bilge side, the piece of wood is not removed, there is a place for it, let’s not waste time, the green head loaded, and quickly run to the eye of the sea, there is a more brilliant results in the side of the waiting for us.

Boatswain Ruan Hei heard this face changed dramatically, dead or alive to stop is not let the fat man and other people to load the sarcophagus into the bilge, I saw him look different, know that there must be a reason for it, so he asked him in the end, so that he put the words to make it clear, the bilge in the end what is the name of the game?

Ruan Hei was almost on his knees begging the crowd, but he did not say why: “There is a piece of extra wood partition in the bilge, but do not dare to tear it down, tear it down, none of us can live.” Said he begged Shirley Yang: “Miss Yang is the most sensible good people, you quickly persuade them, this thing can not dare to do ah.”

In our repeated questioning, Ruan Hei still refused to reveal half a word, had no choice but to say: “this sea willow ship on the death of seven British you all know, they are dead in the bilge, other I can not say again, in any case, that the mezzanine can not look at the things, look at it will die.”

“Trident” is an old sea willow ship transformed into, although by the British to change the face, but the main parts of the hull, are still all the use of the old ship of the sea willow, this group of preparation of the ship ambitious British salvage team, a total of seven members of their inexplicable collective deaths, the place of the incident is the bilge of the Trident.

In the sea before I have also been many ways to probe, but the Coral Temple Island fishermen businessmen, most do not know the details of which, this time suddenly heard the boat boss Ruan Hei mentioned this matter, told us that there is indeed a small mezzanine in the cabin, but what is inside, in any case, can not be seen, someone look at it will be unfavorable to this ship, that batch of Britons is so dead.

I looked at Uncle Ming, saw that he also looked confused, obviously never heard of such a sea ship on the palm of the story, I began to suspect that Ruan Hei alarmist, more to go to the bottom of the cabin to find out.

Ruan Hei also begged Shirley Yang to help persuade, he knows the former owner of this sea willow ship, not long ago the British refitted this ship, he was also hired to help, so know some unknown insider, he swears, this ship bilge is really hiding something, but see that thing, to the members of the ship has a hundred harms but no good, if the bilge compartment does not exist, it will be business as usual, no effect on the ship. The fact that it has no effect on the ship is by no means alarmist, it is a lesson learned with many lives.

I saw the ship’s captain Ruan Hei took a poisonous oath, knowing that if these superstitious sea wolves swore a heavy oath, they would certainly not be intent on deceiving each other, since he said that there are things in the bilge that can not be disturbed, as long as it does not affect our voyage, there is no need to deliberately destroy these special customs and taboos.

Ruan Hei saw that I finally agreed, which was a sigh of relief, said: “After picking the eggs back, must tell you the secrets of this, only those who do not sit on this ship can know, otherwise unintentionally talk about this matter on the ship, will have to get into trouble on the doorstep, at that time in the vast ocean want to escape there is no place to escape.”

I nodded my head to agree, but on second thought, pretending to be a god this set of rhetoric does not work in me, when I go back, I know the reason for this what’s the use? Sooner or later, I’ll find an opportunity to see what’s going on, I won’t do anything to be kept in the dark.

So I do not move, temporarily put this matter aside, with the rest of the people together with the hands, due to the limited space on board, the huge stone coffin, as well as the coffin in the middle of the filling of the wood had to be sunk into the sea again, only the innermost sarcophagus retained, all the people of the bilge of the supplies into the sarcophagus, until it fills it up, so that on the cabin space is sufficient to accommodate the sarcophagus, and sarcophagus in the shade, put the cabin of many watermelons put in, it can be used for the purpose of the sarcophagus, but also the sarcophagus in the water. The sarcophagus was cool as water, and the many watermelons in the hold could be put in it to keep them fresh.

We are busy in the bilge, while Ruan Hei went up to drive the boat, I deliberately pay attention to the sandwich board, in addition to being completely sealed and difficult to move in addition to the real is not to see what special features, just put his ear on the listen to the inside of the movement, was Shirley Yang found my move, she came over to pat my shoulder: “What do you practice? ”

I was concentrating on listening to the mezzanine for any movement, thinking in my head what in the end can’t be said and can’t be seen? Totally did not pay attention to behind me, was Shirley Yang startled, hurriedly pointed to her this mezzanine hatch: “I reconnoiter reconnoiter, you also come over to listen, here seems to be something moving ……”

Shirley Yang did not scout with me, she seemed to have something to say to me, she signaled to me to change the place to talk, so I went up to the back deck with her, at this time, Ruan Hei and Uncle Ming reconfirmed the direction of the ship, is sailing the ship to the coral spiral at full speed, the “Trident” in the sea to ride the wind and waves, the two hanging behind the ship, “diving bell”, “diving bell”. The “Trident” is riding the waves, and the two “diving bells” hanging behind the ship are also swaying with the ship.

After the black tide at the bottom of the sea, a large area of the sea seems to be lifeless, before from time to time can see on the surface of the swarms of flying fish have disappeared, surrounded by only boundless seawater surging, seems to be the vastness of Shirley Yang on the deck looking out at the end of the sea and the sky, after a long time to say: “Professor Chen is my father’s father’s life before the close friend, his wish is my father’s wish! I don’t care if I risk even more, but the South China Sea is so vast, and the Returning Ruins in the coral spiral is even more mysterious, I’m a little worried about whether or not we’ll be able to successfully find the King of Qin’s Bone Shining Mirror, after all, our salvage team has fewer people and a smaller boat.”

I said to her: “What is there to worry about, fewer boats is not a problem, although we are few, but each have a unique ability, it is called the soldiers in the essence and not in the more, the ancient Chinese Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising, the beginning of the time only eight or nine hundred people, they issued to the world of the emperor and generals would rather have a kind of the great cry, climb up to the top of the call to unveil the pole rose up, and swept the world once, but the team why failed? Why did this group fail later? Because they became more and more people, became a group of rabble, lost the purity of the revolution and the unity of the fighting force, we should learn from the lessons of the failure of the Peasant Uprising, even our guide when we went to the desert, Master An Liman, knows Hu Da’s metaphor is – the world only unity will win, and when absorbing the members of the team, we should be extremely careful. should also be extra cautious, would rather nibble on a bite of fairy peach, not eat a basket of rotten apricots, fewer people with the same heart, not afraid of not being able to accomplish anything.”
