Chapter 30: Nuhai Qiansha · Snake Bronze Fish

The lid opens slowly and automatically, and there is only a small space with a small thumb inside. There is a small copper fish. I took it out and looked at it. The fish looks very ordinary, but the workmanship is very fine, especially the eyebrows on the eyes of the fish. The place is like a snake, lifelike, I am very surprised, what is the value of this thing, why should it be so well placed.
At this time, the third uncle had dragged a gas-cut steel cylinder and came in. When he saw that the box had been opened, he was surprised and said, "How did you open it, how did you open it?"
When I told him about the number, he also frowned, saying, "It's getting more and more chaotic. It seems that this group of Americans is not as simple as just fighting." He picked up the copper fish Suddenly, his face changed and he said, "Isn't this the snake eyebrow fish?"
At first glance, he seemed to know, and he asked quickly. He took out an object from his pocket and handed it to me. At first glance, it was also a very delicate copper fish. It was about the size of my little finger, and it had two eyebrows. Sea snake, excellent workmanship, each scale is very delicate, it should come from the same source as this one in the box, the disadvantage is that this one in the groove of the scales, there are many small white lime-like dirt, sticky Very well, I knew it at a glance and said, "Is this seafood?"
My uncle nodded. I was surprised. The sea products are antiques caught in the sea. They are usually blue and white porcelain. It is more convenient to find antiques in the sea than on land, because many things are exposed on the sea floor. There are too many microorganisms in the sea, and most of the things brought from the sea have white gray dirt, which is difficult to wash off, so the value is discounted.
I am confused. In memory, Sanshu will not be interested in this kind of low-price goods. He asked Sanshu, "Are you going to go over Haidou?"
The third uncle nodded and said, "Only once, I really regret it. If I can't hold back the muddy water that time, I must have a lot of children now."
I know a little about the story of the third uncle. The third uncle used to have a woman and a female hero. I heard that they still knew each other in a fight. The woman's name was Wen Jin. I heard that she was a very quiet woman. Out of a gold-touching northern school, the third uncle and her have been well for five years. The female seeks the dragon's spot, the male locates the burrowing position, and is known as the eagle in the fighting world. disappeared. I only said that I lost my hand when I was in the fight. It ’s not appropriate for girls to do this. The family is very sorry, but I was only a few years old at the time, and I did n’t understand so much. It ’s like a piece of wood. It ’s so old and sad, and it ’s getting better. I could n’t remember what happened when I was a kid. Now when I hear what Uncle San wants to say, I still want to know, but I ca n’t behave Too gossip, ask: "What happened at that time, is it a sea fight?"
Uncle San sighed and said, "At that time, I was still young with her. Several of her classmates were from the archaeological team. They vaguely knew that I was a craftsman. I never thought of hiding them. Everyone is very good. Later, they went to Xisha to do shipwreck archaeology, and I followed along, but I didn't expect it, "he paused, and didn't seem to think about it." Unexpectedly, the thing sinking under the water would be so big. "
It should have been a matter of more than ten years ago. In fact, the third uncle had little experience with Haidou, and was considered to have lost his head by love. He even boasted Haikou in front of Wenjin and said how he got, so he followed The archaeological team went out to sea. They chartered a local fisherman ’s boat and spent two days near the bowl reef of Xijiao. That place was one of the most dangerous sections of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. There were many shipwrecks. The third uncle went down and almost stayed By the way, I saw tattered blue and white porcelain on the bottom of the sea. The scale was really amazing.
Wen Jin told him that these things fell down from the sunken ship and were washed up by the sea. The fishermen used to pull up four or five pieces of porcelain once they netted, but they thought it was the king of the dragon who entered the water. Usually thrown back.
It is a pity that these things are almost rotten, and it is rarely found intact. Even if it is found, most of them are parasitized with sea creatures, which is difficult to clean. Wen Jin ’s classmates looked at these with archaeological value. Things, so I was very excited. The third uncle saw it was a desolate, terrible distress. He said that when the shipwreck I did not get born, he did not think that the blue and white porcelain was not antique at all.
They turned around in the water for two or three days. They brought baskets of baskets of porcelain. The third uncle is good at this. He knows the porcelain well, he can talk for a long time by picking one, and he becomes an archaeological team. The spiritual leader, whose surname is Wu, is called Sansheng. Those young people call him Sansheng, and the third uncle floats, and really regards himself as their head.
On the fourth day, something happened. There was an archaeological team who went out in a kayak and did n’t return at dusk. The others were anxious and asked the big ship to anchor to find it. Later they found the stranded kayak on a reef mountain two kilometers away from Bowl Reef. But the people above are gone.
When Uncle San thought badly, someone might go into the water to touch something, something went wrong, he quickly got on equipment and dived overnight, touched for half a night, and finally found the man's body, his feet stuck in the coral reef, and it had soaked. stand up. They dragged the corpse up, and the third uncle saw what he was holding in his left hand, and opened it to see the snake-eye bronze fish. Although the individual died, everyone was very sad, but the third uncle had realized what might be under the water, otherwise this person would not come here to salvage overnight.
The third uncle guessed that it might be that when the person was towing during the day (searching with a boat dragging a person), the person saw something but didn't say it. At night, he wanted to go back and look at it when there was no one, but something went wrong. Of course, the third uncle did not say what he thought, because now people are dead, and it makes no sense to say that. However, the snake-browed copper fish caught in his hand is definitely a reminder.
The next day, the third uncle mentioned this matter to those people. Of course, he said this: Comrade XX worked overtime and a little bit more for the archaeological cause. Unfortunately, there was an accident, but it came from the fruits of his labor. See, this comrade has apparently found something on the bottom of the sea. He used his own life in exchange for this snake eyebrow fish, so we can't fail him. After some mobilization, everyone's emotions recovered a little, so they returned to the sea area where the accident occurred and carried out a rug-like search.
They found more than forty huge stone dwellings (accessories on ancient ship anchors) under the nearby water. The size and specifications are the same. The lettering on them is basically unclear. The uncle estimates that these forty Multiple stone dwellings were either lost on the forty ships of the same specifications or from the same ship. When I think about it, I understand how it is possible for forty ships to sink in one place at the same time. Under this, there must be a very huge ship. It is even large enough to require forty anchors to fix it.
Uncle San is very familiar with history. Seeing this, he already had a very bold conjecture in mind. When he floated to the surface, he said to Wen Jin: "Below, it seems like a shipwreck tomb under the sea."
