v2 Chapter 1435: .Pirate Box (5/5)

   Back at the hotel, Winnie was arguing with her daughter on the bed. Seeing Qin Shiou coming back, she glanced at him and asked in a stretched voice: "Why are you back here? Do you want our mothers?"

  She turned her head, Melon seized the opportunity to stretch out Chubby’s hand and scratched her chest, and then giggled as if it was cheap.

Qin Shiou squeezed Vinnie’s pretty face from the other side, just about to speak, but Vinnie hurried back, covering her face and said in horror: “Oh my God, why are your hands so cold? Like a ghost! Don’t touch me, I am afraid of cold..."

  "Warm my hands." Qin Shiou chased after him.

  Vini didn’t hesitate, she immediately grabbed the daughter behind her, and said to him: “Give you a baby warmer. She is hotter than me. You use her to warm your hands.”

  Qin Shiou rolled his eyes for the second wife, and ran to the desk to study the box.

  Vini asked curiously: "What is this?"

"I don't know. Someone in the bar lost a bet to me, saying that it was a baby fished from the sea." Qin Shiou said casually, and Wei Ni laughed at him for being deceived, and then stopped paying attention and concentrated on playing with her daughter. Get up.

  The style of this box is simple and the whole is wrapped in whale oil, so you can't see the detailed scene inside, but you can vaguely see that there are many complicated patterns on it. The whale oil had been on the cold seabed for hundreds of years, and it had solidified. He tapped it with his hand and made a clapper sound.

  Put the box on the radiator, Qin Shiou didn't care about it, so let's bake it first.

  Untitled all night, he woke up at six as usual. He looked out and it was still dark and dark outside. It is estimated that there is no nine o'clock ten o'clock, the sun can not come out.

  Nothing to do, he went to study the box again. Maybe for too long, deep sea pressure, low temperature and other reasons, whale oil seems to have deteriorated. After baking all night, it was still as hard as stone.

  In order not to affect the sleep of Winnie and Melon, he went to the living room downstairs. The old couple also got up and were busy cleaning. Bear has a pile of biscuits in his arms, eating happily.

  Seeing Qin Shiou, the old lady smiled and said, "Young man, you got up really early. Except for the elderly, you probably won't get up before ten o'clock here."

  Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "I'm used to getting up early. If you are busy, then don't worry about me. I will find something to do by myself."

  The boss brought him a plate of fragrant chocolate chip cookies and a cup of hot coffee. Xiongda smelled the sweet taste of chocolate, got up flexibly, and sat next to Qin Shiou holding the cookies.

When the old lady saw this scene, her face was full of joy. She came up and stroked the big round ears of the bear and said: "Young man, your bear is really great. Do you know it is particularly smart? This is a cunning one. Cute little guy."

  Qin Shiou looked at Xiong Da’s stupid and fat face, and then at his physique like a small pile of flesh, he couldn’t tell at all whether he was cunning or the little one.

After eating the biscuits in his arms in three or two bites, Xiong Da stood up and shook his fur to scatter the crumbs of the biscuits, and then stood up with Qin Shiou's shoulder, looking at the biscuits with eyesight.

  Qin Shiou took two plugs for it to sit down quietly, and then asked the boss for a hammer, a knife and an awl, and carefully removed the solidified whale oil outside the box.

  When the boss came to deliver the tools, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey, young man. Where did you get the pirate box?"

  "Pirate Box?" Qin Shiou asked strangely.

  The boss smiled and nodded. Said: "Yes, Pirate Box, do you know the origin of the name Greenland? It was the name given by the pirates. It used to be a paradise for pirates, fugitives, and bad guys. You know?"

  Of course, these Qin Shiou know that the English name of Greenland is ‘Greeland’. It means Green Continent. It was named after a great pirate named Eric. He explained the reason for this in his diary: "If this place has a moving name, it will definitely attract many people here. , So I can do a lot of business."

Qin Shiou said that he knew what he knew. The boss nodded and said: "Then do you know where Eric's diary was found?" He pointed to the box on the table, "Pirate's box, this is important for pirates to record Boxes for things, such as logbooks, robbery logs, etc."

   "How do you see that this is a pirate box?" Qin Shiou asked excitedly.

The boss laughed and said: "It's very simple, Vikings know it. The pirate box is usually sealed with animal fat or whale oil, so that it can be waterproof and antifreeze, and it can prevent the contents from being corroded by sea water, humid air, etc. Your box is like this."

  After the explanation, the boss left and went to pack things again. Qin Shiou asked: "Aren't you curious about what's inside?"

The boss turned around and said: "No, I'm not curious. To be honest, young man, don't have too much hope for it. First of all, this may not be a real pirate box. In fact, many fishermen here use this method to close it. Box; secondly, even if it is a real pirate box, most of these guys have written something mysterious."

  Qin Shiou opened it patiently, he didn't hold out much hope, he just used this thing to pass the time.

The whale oil solidified together was very hard, but also very brittle. Qin Shiou knocked it for a while, and the whale oil lumps broke apart, revealing the brown-black box. He opened the box carefully. There really was a booklet inside. There is also a circle of gold coins.

  Because of the high-pressure and high-cold environment, coupled with sea water and whale oil to isolate the air, these gold coins are different from those previously found by Qin Shiou on the seabed. There is no rust, and they exude a golden light.

  Qin Shiou took a look, and then closed the box calmly. At this time, the fishermen also got up, and there were more people in the hall. It was not very good that these gold coins were found.

   Putting away the box, he opened the booklet and read it. The paper of the booklet should also be made of tanned lambskin, soft and tough, and suddenly encountered air without being oxidized and broken. If it were ordinary paper, it would be dead if it was isolated for hundreds of years and suddenly exposed to the air.

  But what disappointed him was that the words used in the pamphlet were in Latin, and he couldn't understand, and he couldn't understand a single sentence, which made him very disappointed.

  Fortunately, he has someone to ask for help. After taking a detailed photograph of each page of this booklet, adding a picture of the gold coin, he sent it to Billy and Little Blake together, and asked them to translate it.

  Neither of them were online. Qin Shiou waited for a while and no one responded, and he left the hotel when it was dawn. (To be continued~^~)
