Fisherman's Secret

Dr. Li circled the bracket twice, took out a pair of rubber gloves from his trouser pocket, knocked on the ship board, touched it, rubbed his fingers, and said: "The desalination method is too rough, it takes a long time, yes The hull was seriously damaged. Fortunately, this is a modern ship, not an ancient wooden ship, or it wouldn't last three years."

Fang Jing followed behind and nodded his head like garlic, thinking that you should not be picky all the time, you might as well show kindness and offer a price to tow the sunken ship back. He really can't afford such a delicate thing!

Dr. Li looked very carefully. He squatted down and inspected the hull carefully. Later, he simply asked Fang Jing to transfer the elevator and rise to the middle of the sky to watch the deck. While watching, he took out his mobile phone to take pictures, even in the most inconspicuous corner. I didn't miss it, and I took it carefully.

Fang Jing's eyes widened, and he followed Dr. Li back and forth. This is a real expert in archaeology. Professor Lu is already considered a leading figure in the field of cultural relic appraisal, but he is still not as good as Dr. Li.

Fang Jing didn't want to miss such a good learning opportunity.

"Is there something wrong with this boat?" Seeing that Dr. Li wiped the side of the boat and frowned slightly, Fang Jing immediately became nervous. It couldn't be that there was something wrong with the boat. He is more delicate than a princess, and if something goes wrong, he will lose a lot.

Dr. Li didn't speak, motioned Fang Jing to operate the elevator, and climbed down from the stairs.

"It's a modern cargo ship. Judging from the way the ship was built, it should have been built in Germany in the 20s."

Sure enough!Fang Jing's eyes widened immediately. He really was a master. He could judge the age and builder of the sunken ship with just a few casual glances. This kind of vision alone is not comparable to ordinary people.

No wonder the old man has a bad temper and is as stubborn as a self-willed emperor. At his level, it is true that he only needs to focus on the archaeological career and not care about other people's faces.

After returning from the brigade headquarters, Dr. Li's expression towards Fang Jing improved a lot, at least he didn't pick his nose and eyes like before, and his attitude was even mild.

"Is this the ship that was found in that reef area last time?"

coming!

Fang Jing immediately cheered up, worried and worried, but in the end he couldn't hide.

"Yes."

Dr. Li stopped talking, touched the pocket of his shirt, remembered that he went back to the hotel this morning to take a shower, changed his clothes and came here in a hurry, forgetting to put a pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

"We used sonar to scan that area at least twenty times, why no one found it." Dr. Li said, and glanced at Fang Jing suspiciously, as if they didn't realize that it was Fang Jing's fault.

Fang Jing hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, found a photo of ghost flowers in it, handed it to Dr. Li, and said, "Maybe it's because of this stuff."

Dr. Li came over to take a look: "Crystal Orchid?"

Looking at it again, no, this photo was obviously taken underwater. Crystal orchids only grow in dark and humid places, but I have never heard anyone say that that kind of saprophyte can grow under tens of meters of water, or seawater!

And if you look closely, it's also different from Crystal Orchid.

"What is this?" Dr. Li habitually went to touch his pocket again, halfway through the touch, he thought of something, and turned to tell the driver, "Go and get me the toolbox from the car."

The driver was specially arranged by the museum. He was both his driver and his bodyguard. Hearing this, he immediately got up, opened the back cover of the car, took out a small tool box and sent it to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li took out the magnifying glass and carefully observed the appearance of the ghost flower in the photo.

"This is a ghost flower. There is a legend in our place that people who died unjustly, their souls will last forever, and their resentment will condense into shape, and this kind of ghost flower will grow on the bones of people." Cen Jiu explained in a friendly manner.

Dr. Li did not laugh at Cen Jiu's statement this time, but nodded in agreement: "You said that, I remember seeing it in some literature before, but I thought it was just a legend in the market, but I didn't expect it to be true .”

Fang Jing suddenly looked at Dr. Li in a different way. He even knew such a miraculous thing. Does it really deserve to be No. 1 in the domestic archaeological field?The knowledge is really profound!

Cen Jiudao: "I also thought it was just a legend."

To be honest, when he saw the ghost flower, he was no less surprised than Fang Jing.

Dr. Li's curiosity was completely hooked. He returned the phone to Fang Jing and said, "Do you have a sample of this ghost flower?"

Hearing that tone, he seemed to want to do some research.

Such a ferocious thing, if you avoid it for fear, how could he still keep the sample.

Fang Jing shook his head decisively.

Dr. Li looked regretful: "It's a pity. It's rare to come across such a legendary thing. I originally wanted to study it. Maybe it can add another species to the biological map of the earth!"

Hearing that tone, he was full of resignation. Sure enough, he had never seen the ferocity of the ghost flower, so he was so fearless?

Sure enough, ignorance is a kind of happiness!

Fang Jing spoke highly of Dr. Li's selfless dedication to science.People always say that scientists and lunatics have the same meaning to some extent, and Fang Jing seems to have a deeper understanding of this sentence.

"I heard that besides a ship of skeletons, you also caught a lot of silver coins?" Soon, Dr. Li cheered up from the loss of the ghost flower, and asked about the other big head of the sunken ship.

"There's a Mexican Eagle Ocean, is Dr. Li interested in taking a look at it?" Although he was asking what the other party meant, Fang Jing had already led Dr. Li to the storage room very tactfully.

Most of the valuable things that Fang Jing fished out were put into the water bubble space by him. Firstly, for safety, secondly, for preservation, only a very small part was kept outside to hide from others.He winked at Cen Jiu, Cen Jiu understood, slowed down and disappeared after a while.

Dr. Li and his driver followed Fang Jing all the way back to the Fang family's old house, but they didn't realize that the young man who had been inseparable with Fang Jing since arriving in the fishing village had left.

Fang Jing admired Cen Jiu's ability to hide his figure so much that he was so impressed that a big living person poked there, and his presence was so low that people couldn't even notice it. This was also one of Cen Jiu's unique skills.

When Dr. Li and the others returned to the Fang family's old house, Cen Jiu had already moved a box out of the storage room and put it in the main room. He also made a cup of tea for everyone to cool down in a very wise manner.

Dr. Li's dead face showed a rare look of surprise, and he couldn't help but said: "Young man, you don't have a twin brother who looks the same as you, do you?"

When Fang Jing heard it, he was immediately happy.

In fact, many people will have such doubts when they see the same scene, but Dr. Li is the first to say it so bluntly.

This question is a bit embarrassing and difficult to answer. Fang Jing doesn't want others to pay too much attention to Cen Jiu's background and family, because this is Cen Jiu's biggest secret.Fortunately, Dr. Li didn't really want to break the casserole and ask the bottom line. He only changed the topic after a little teasing, and his attitude was different from his previous high-coldness.

"Xiao Fang, your boat has spent a lot of money just for nursing care."

Fang Jing was a little flattered, nodded repeatedly, with an expression of finding a bosom friend: "Dr. Li, to tell you the truth, if no one drags the sunken ship away, I probably won't be able to support it."

Nima, the maintenance fee for a sunken ship is too high for a day. He is neither a rich man nor the second generation of x, but a self-employed individual who has just escaped poverty. I really can't afford to support such a delicate and difficult master.

Fang Jing's weeping expression obviously amused Dr. Li, a smile appeared on the coffin's face, but in the next second, the smile disappeared, and he returned to his usual picky and mocking face.

"1000 million, I towed this ship away." Dr. Li's attitude was very casual, and his tone was very rich.

Fang Jing was taken aback for a moment. Regarding Dr. Li's visit, he had many kinds of speculations, such as holding him accountable for stealing national cultural relics, competing for the ownership of modern transport ships, and so on. Open your mouth to buy a shipwreck!

The pie that fell from the sky was so beautiful that Fang Jing couldn't believe it.

"Dr. Li, are you sure you want to buy this sunken ship?" Fang Jing looked anxious, afraid that Dr. Li was just joking to tease him.

"You don't believe it?" Dr. Li glanced at him sideways, and his tone rose a notch.

"No, no, no, of course I believe it." Fang Jing was so oppressed that he became used to it, and immediately denied it.

"Does that mean the price is too low?" Dr. Li's tone was a bit dangerous.

"No, no, no." Fang Jing was very excited, fearing that Dr. Li would go back on his word, he immediately made a decision, "When do you plan to tow the boat away?"

Great, he wanted to get rid of this delicate and expensive product for a long time. Now someone is willing to pay 1000 million to buy the sunken ship back.

Out of sight out of mind.

"Well, there will be a special person in charge of negotiating with you about the aftermath of the sale of the sunken ship. Our side will seize the time and arrange to tow the sunken ship away as soon as possible." Dr. Li said, winking at the driver, who immediately returned He ran out of the yard, opened the car door, took out an information bag from the car, and handed it to Dr. Li.

Dr. Li slid the information bag towards Jing above the table. Fang Jing spread his five fingers, blocked the information bag, and looked at Dr. Li in puzzlement.

"You read it first, and then make a decision after reading it."

Fang Jing opened the information bag suspiciously, and inside was an employment contract.Dr. Li formally invited Fang Jing to salvage an ancient warship named "Jiang Ning".

Huh huh?It turned out that Dr. Li ran over so aggressively, besides buying his hot potato, did he also provide him with a formal salvage job?

Who said that Dr. Li has a weird and unreasonable temper?Ren is obviously such a reasonable and wise archaeologist.

At this moment, Fang Jing felt that there was no cuter person in this world than Dr. Li.

Although Dr. Li's favored recruitment is very exciting, but after all, he is cooperating with the official, so Fang Jing still has some concerns.

He has too many secrets, and working with the official salvage team can certainly allow him to learn a lot of experience and knowledge of shipwrecks, but it also means huge risks.And he is not alone now, but a team. Although the team has only three fixed members so far, he firmly believes that his team will grow gradually in the future. Dr. Li's contract is obviously only willing to recruit him. people.

If he agrees to Dr. Li's invitation, it means that he will give up his team and become the staff of the archaeological team. The advantage is that he can get in touch with more contacts and the latest equipment, and Dr. Li and the others must have a long list of urgent needs. The list of salvaged shipwrecks is what Fang Jing lacks most at present; the disadvantage is that he is not free, and his identity has changed—from a boss who has the final say to an employee who can only follow orders, the change is not all at once will be able to adapt.

The most important point is that if he hangs around with Dr. Li, the things he fishes out will be turned over to the country. At most, he himself will get some allowances and rewards, and the income will definitely shrink by a hundred times and a thousand times.

Thinking of this, he put the information on the table and said, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully, and I'll reply to you in a few days."

Dr. Li didn't feel embarrassed, nodded, and raised his wrist to check the time: "I have to go, there is still a seminar to attend in the afternoon."

With that said, he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

When going out, Fang Jing heard him complaining dissatisfiedly.

"Meetings, meetings, meetings every day, the leaders of those officials who only know how to sharpen their heads and climb up, and those who know nothing about sunken ship maintenance!"

Fang Jing: "..."

This resentment is deep enough.

Fang Jing actually hated the bureaucratic style of those leaders.It was like this when he was in the museum before, a group of leaders gave directions blindly, and if they touched their lips, the staff underneath would run away.

I'm really not afraid that the leader doesn't know how to do it, but I'm afraid that the leader will command blindly.

It turned out that getting into the position of Dr. Li had the same experience as him back then.

This is really difficult for him!

Fang Jing gave Dr. Li a sympathetic look, and he was glad in his heart that he resigned early and went out on his own, otherwise his future resentment would definitely be greater than that of Dr. Li.

Well, he should be the boss of his own Yeluzijun!

Dr. Li, who has a deep resentment for the behavior of some leaders who occupy the latrines not only do not shit, but also prevent others from shitting, did not expect that his casual complaint made Fang Jing more determined to start his own business, so many years later. , Recalling today's scene, it still makes Dr. Li feel sad.

After sending Dr. Li away, Fang Jing couldn't help but jumped three feet happily, and showed off to Cen Jiu: "See, the big bosses in the archaeological circle of the Celestial Dynasty want me to work in his team, you Boyfriend am I good?"

Cen Jiu glanced at him, kept moving his hands, continued to clean up the cups used by the guests, and said in a perfunctory manner: "Well, it's amazing."

"So you have to treat me better in the future, otherwise I am so popular, what if I can't think about it and leave you and go to someone else's boat?"

Cen Jiu said coldly, "Break your leg."

Fang Jing: "?!!"

Fuck, do you want to be so cruel? !He just stole into someone else's boat, not someone else's bed!

"Broken leg." Brother Anwei glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, once again showing his domineering sideways.

Fang Jing: "..."

"The third leg." Cen Jiu added.

As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Jingxia Sanlu, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Fang Jing's chrysanthemum tightened inexplicably, and his balls hurt faintly - literally.

"Well... I'm just talking casually. If a good boss doesn't do it, he goes to work for others. He can't get even a hair of the things he fishes out. Only a fool would do such a stupid thing." Fang Jing faintly said Feeling a hint of danger approaching, although he didn't understand where the source of the danger was, he explained it intuitively.

Facts proved that his intuition was right. After listening to the explanation, Cen Jiu finally turned his head and took the cup that Dr. Li and the others had just used to the kitchen sink to wash.

Transparent tap water rushed down the faucet.

While rinsing the cup, Cen Jiu slowly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a very faint smile.

Well, his boyfriend is not stupid at all, so he won't do stupid things.

It doesn't matter if you do stupid things, if you catch three legs, you will break them!
