Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Under the Shalu Mountain, the moonlight was faint, and the water was sparkling. The two plastic boats were like ghosts hidden in the dark, and the sound of the night wind blowing through the branches could be heard from time to time.

"Communicate with gestures after entering the water, don't place orders, and give signals immediately in case of emergency, do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Old Mian, Xiaoxuan, the two of you stay on the ship and have two tasks. One is to receive the goods, and the other is to release the wind. Although there is a high probability that no one will come here, you should not take it lightly. You must always be alert to the wind and grass around you."

Xiaoxuan said she knew, and the old man also nodded and said: "Although I am old, old man, my two moves are very bright at night, my master can rest assured."

I took a deep breath on my cigarette, threw the butt into the water, put on my goggles, and one fell headlong into the water, followed by the others.

The water quality was very turbid, and there were hardly any big fish in the water. Occasionally, a few small fish swam by. For our uninvited guests who came suddenly, these small fish were not afraid, but kept circling around us.

The deepest water is nearly 20 meters, but the visibility is much higher when diving to the bottom. There are many garbage plastic bags buried in the mud at the bottom. I can clearly hear my own breathing through the mask.

The gas cylinder was bubbling and bubbling, and I made a gesture to tell everyone to spread out and search.

"No... If there is a sunken ship, even if it is completely soaked, you should still be able to see some wreckage. Could it be that my judgment is completely wrong?" I muttered in my heart.

Suddenly, under the illumination of a strong flashlight, I saw a triangular wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth in the thick mud layer at the bottom of the water.

"This is......?"

Swimming over, I grabbed it with both hands and tried to pull it out of the mud, but it couldn't be pulled at all, and it seemed to be connected to something underneath.

This damn.....isn't it the pole of the sail?

I immediately called other people to come over and clean up the mud from here, and the clearer I became, the more excited I was, that's right!This is a boat pole, made of cypress!

During the Song Dynasty, there were three types of ships: sea ships, lake ships, and war ships. The name here is an inland canal, and the water cannot be too deep. Considering the draft of the hull, it is unlikely that it is a sea ship or a war ship. Probably one of those small cargo lake boats!In the Song Dynasty, there were only a few types of lake boats, including single-board boats, square-headed boats, and fish boats.

What sank here back then was most likely the kind of single-board boat.

Just imagine, Liu Yu used this river to pay tribute to the Kingdom of Jin. There were a total of more than a dozen single-board boats, and each boat had four or five soldiers guarding more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver treasures. At that time, one of the boats leaked and capsized, and the things pulled on the boat naturally sank to the bottom of the water.

In addition, the Yuecheng Reservoir opens its gates every year to discharge floods. With each massive flood discharge, a thick layer of silt will naturally be deposited on the river bed. In this way, everything makes sense.

Soon, the bow of a rotten wooden boat was exposed. The boat was inserted obliquely and buried in the sand layer, and the hull had been broken into two pieces. Pressing a large wooden box.

There is still a palm-sized iron lock hanging on the box. The lock is very rusted. When the insect saw this thing, he slapped me hard for the first time, looking very excited.

We are people who have seen the big scene, so I signaled the bug to be safe and not to get excited. What is there is still unclear.

The wooden box was half buried in the mud, and it was very heavy!Our three big men worked together and couldn't move it, it seemed to grow in the mud.

I asked Chongzi to go up and get three pointed crowbars to come down, and then I, the old security platform and Chongzi, three people, each with one head, inserted the crowbar into the sediment layer and used the principle of leverage to pry it violently.

Seeing the big box being pried out little by little, the worm was overjoyed. He quickly reached under the box and wanted to lift it up, but at this moment an accident happened.

The crowbar supported on the other end of the old security platform suddenly slipped, and as soon as the other end of the old security platform was withdrawn, I also lost my center of gravity. The big box fell down in an instant, and the bug's right hand was firmly pressed down.

With a mask on his face, and it was still underwater, I couldn't hear the worm screaming, but I could see that he was in great pain, and the worm kept struggling, trying to pull his right hand out.

The old Baotai and I immediately started to rescue him. I lifted a corner of the big box with a crowbar, and the bug quickly pulled out his hand, seeing that he was seriously injured like that.

I made a gesture, signaling to go up first and then talk.

Ten minutes later, we sat on the boat dripping wet, and the bug clutched his right hand. He grinned and said, "It's over, I feel like it might be twisted."

The old Baotai said loudly: "What are you doing reaching down there? That box weighs at least several hundred catties, can you lift it up? You think you are a superman!"

Chongzi immediately retorted: "I am a superman! I am just helping, and I am fucking wrong!"

"Okay, don't quarrel with me, bug, do you feel broken?"

"Probably not, it's just a twisted tendon, and now I can't use my strength at all."

I frowned and thought for a while and said: "You can't do your best, and we can't get that thing. In this way, we will wait here. You go back and ask some brothers with strong strength to bring two coils of rope. The night is long and dreamy. Tonight, we This box has to be brought up."

"What do you want to do when you go back? I'll just call and ask some brothers to come over."

I said, "No one is leading the way, so they can find this place by themselves? Besides, do you see if your mobile phone has a signal?"

Chongzi took out his mobile phone from the waterproof bag and looked at it, he cursed: "What the hell is this place, why is there no signal at all, then you wait here, I'll go back and call someone, boss Baotai, send me off."

After he left with two rowing boats, the rest of us crowded into the same boat, and Lao Mian didn't go into the water. He asked me curiously: "Master, guess what's in that box, it's so heavy?"

Ah Yuan squeezed the water from her head, she said, "Do you have to guess, it must be a box of treasures, maybe a box of gold bars? Brother Feng, don't you think so?"

I shook my head: "It's unlikely that all of them are gold bars. Gold bars in the Song Dynasty were not popular yet. It may be the 50 or two large silver ingots made by the government, but it's hard to say. You won't know until you open it."

Ah Yuan's eyes were full of excitement, she said, "Big silver ingot? I haven't seen it before when I'm so old. What does it look like?"

I thought about it, and said with a smile: "The silver ingots in the Song Dynasty are like boats, wide at both ends and pointed in the middle, just like the ones you women use."

"What?" Ah Yuan asked suspiciously.

I turned my head and glanced at Xiaoxuan, and said with some embarrassment, "It's the thing you put on."

Ah Yuan suddenly realized, and laughed, and Xiao Xuan couldn't help laughing either.

Ah Yuan complained to me: "Brother Feng, you can just say it like a sanitary napkin. I didn't realize what you said about the pad."
