After the European treasure hunter left, the smile on Song Wenbin's face disappeared almost instantly. He leaned on the sofa extremely depressed, silently lit a cigarette, and let out a long breath. As the smoke filled the air, his expression was no longer relaxed.
Huo Yu put a piece of clothing on Sutina's shoulders. Sutina was still lying in front of the pile of broken porcelain and golden monkeys, and the photographers on the side also took pictures of the newly collected cultural relics with their machines.
Huo Yu asked Song Wenbin with some confusion: "Why didn't you let me stop him? Is it because the value of these things is not high enough?"
Song Wenbin shook his head, blew out a smoke ring and said: "This is not what I want, and this is not what the country wants. There is no need for us to go into the water anymore, the Nine-Pattern Dragon Treasure Box is not here."
"Ah, why..." Huo Yu asked inexplicably.
Song Wenbin didn't want to explain to Huo Yu. He was a little tired and confused.
Sutina finally stopped looking at the fragments of cultural relics. She stood up and sat next to Song Wenbin. At this moment, she had long lost the charm she had an hour ago. She was wearing a shirt and her pretty face was full of sorrow.
"Speak, why don't you go into the water? Didn't we just find the clue!? Moreover, those people don't seem to be from the government." Huo Yu was still shouting.
"Huo Yu, don't be stupid."
Song Wenbin sighed: "Did you see that European treasure hunter just now? His head is almost bald."
"ah?"
Huo Yu still couldn't understand what the relationship between whether the white man was bald and whether they were hunting for treasure or not. In her opinion, the weather is just right now and those people are not from the government, so they should continue to go into the water.
Seeing that Song Wenbin was a little tired, Su Tina explained to him: "Huo Yu, Brother Song was not discussing business with him or buying cultural relics from him. Brother Song just wanted to use him to test how many things were in the water. But. One million dollars has been taken out. If that old white man still has something in his hand, he will definitely take it out to trade with us. You can see the expressions of those people. But after all, they have nothing left to trade with us. The only thing All that can be obtained is a seal about the size of a thumb. It means there are not many things underwater, Brother Song, are you right?"
Song Wenbin nodded silently.
Huo Yu's expression gradually became a little astonished. She stood there and looked at the endless ocean outside, feeling powerless for a moment. But soon, that feeling of powerlessness was forgotten.
"How deep can they dive?"
Huo Yu said loudly: "We also have the Shenxing Taibao. We can dive more than seventy meters and salvage in places where no one goes, right? Maybe the treasure chest is in a deeper place."
"Damn it, six hundred years ago, God knows how many treasure hunters have searched here. Not to mention the water depth of 70 meters, if there are any, they have found them even in the water depth of 100 meters." Song Wenbin couldn't help but say, as he spoke , he took out the iron hook from his pocket and threw it on the coffee table: "Do you see this thing? We fished this thing out from seventy meters of water, seventy meters of water, thirty meters of water, There are these things everywhere under ten meters of water. This place has been destroyed for a long time, how could it be our turn?"
At this time, Sutina's phone vibrated. She opened it and took a look. Her expression became increasingly gloomy. She picked up the phone and handed it to Huo Yu with a wry smile.
Huo Yu took it over and took a look. The WeChat message showed dense parameters and dates.
Sutina said softly: "The domestic team sent the data. The disc is the pulley assembly of a Dutch merchant ship in the 18th century. It is about 300 years ago, which shows that someone had salvaged it here more than 300 years ago. "
Huo Yu finally understood why Song Wenbin was smoking on the sofa with such a depressed expression after the treasure hunter left. This time she also sat down and inserted her fingers deeply into her hair. The succession of disappointments, hopes, and disappointments tormented her to the point of weakening her spirit.
An atmosphere of despair permeated the entire team for a moment.
"What should we do?" She murmured, "Go home?"
It was she and Song Wenbin who were performing underwater salvage operations here. She had suffered all the hardships Song Wenbin had suffered. Faced with this fact at this moment, she couldn't help but have the idea of giving up.
The rest of the film crew also looked at Song Wenbin. Su Tina had no idea. Huo Yu, who had always been brave and enterprising, had already begun to show signs of decline. Once the third host also gave a signal to retreat, the underwater adventure would come to an end. .
But as the smoke filled the air, Song Wenbin had other ideas. After a brief period of confusion, he put out his cigarette and whispered: "Maybe we need to change our thinking, comrades."
The dejected Huo Yu looked up at Song Wenbin, a little surprised.
Song Wenbin stood up, swayed in the yacht, and then said: "Do you still remember the old white man we met in Yamuzha market yesterday? That old white man seemed to have lived in Indonesia for many years. Sincerely As he said, there are indeed many Western treasure hunters who have come to this area. Both deep and shallow water have been searched, so there is no point for us here. If the guy named Wutou is indeed suggesting that we go back If you look for him, it means that he must have some clues."
"But if we go back to find him, this mission will not be as simple as a treasure hunt." Su Tina reminded Song Wenbin in a low voice.
"This is not a world between man and nature, and salvaging from the seabed is not as simple as digging up treasures in domestic tombs, not to mention that this is Indonesia." Song Wenbin said softly: "This is a world between man and nature. If we want the final victory, we must I have to deal with people, so I decided not to waste time and go back to him directly, what do you think?"
Sutina raised her hand and said, "I believe you."
After hesitating again and again, Huo Yu sighed, slumped on the sofa and said, "What else can I do? I really don't want to cause any more trouble."
...
...
After making the decision, the team once again drove the yacht to the yacht dock in Semarang Scenic Area. Unlike when it rains heavily, there are already people coming and going here.
After getting off the boat, Song Wenbin asked the hotel owner to rent two vans and drove back to the breeding farm near Yamuzha Market.
As soon as he returned to the farm, Song Wenbin saw Wu Tou wearing a white robe holding a gourd scooping feed from a plastic basin and throwing it into the trough. A bunch of sheep followed him and bleated. .
Song Wenbin came to him and didn't say anything, just looked at him.
After Wutou saw Song Wenbin and others, he was a little surprised, but not surprised. He smiled and said: "I thought you would come back in a few days. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. How are you? Have you finished eating the meat? ?”
Song Wenbin said: "After eating, only the residue is left. What do you say, do you have any meat to sell to us?"
"I'm just a fisherman. How can I sell meat?" Wu Tou said while holding the feed basin: "Besides, it's Ramadan now, and Indonesian officials don't allow the sale of meat. But I have channels here. If you want to see it, just come here. Well, but forget it about these filming guys, I don’t want their machines to be smashed a second time.”
Sutina went over and said a few words to the director. The director put away his small equipment and stood still.
"Are you the one talking about this?" Wu Tou asked Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin pointed at himself, Huo Yu and Su Tina, his meaning was obvious.
"Okay, then you three come over."
Wu Tou slowly finished feeding the goats, washed his hands, and led them towards a wooden house among the banana leaves.
】
After arriving at the wooden house, Wu Tou politely boiled a pot of tea for them and led them to sit in the hall of the wooden house. Song Wenbin looked at the wooden house. The wooden house was very simple, with some pots, pans, and a few fish. The fishing line is all there is here, and there is not much to show the identity of the owner.
After sitting down, Wu Tou said straight to the point: "In the early years, I did similar things to you in Indonesia, but I underestimated the vastness and danger of the sea, and also underestimated the viciousness and tyranny of the local government. Today, I owe a lot of debt because of my insecurity when I was young, so I have to live here anonymously and rely on selling meat for a living. I think you can probably see these things even if I don’t say them, right?”
"I thought you were going to keep playing riddles with me."
Song Wenbin said calmly. This guy was a bachelor. As soon as he sat down, he directly revealed his identity as a former treasure hunter without hiding anything from them.
"It's not a shameful thing." Wu Tou took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Today, there are not ten thousand but eight thousand treasure hunters active in Indonesia. However, not many of them can make money. , most of them have a life similar to mine.
I remember I had a German friend, Jean Paul. Maybe you've heard of him, the world-famous treasure hunter. From 1993 to now, I have lived in Indonesia for more than thirty years and have salvaged tens of millions of dollars in treasure. But it cannot be taken away from this country. It costs hundreds of thousands of euros every year just to maintain those treasures, and now they can no longer make ends meet. Compared with him, I'm doing pretty well. "
Song Wenbin tightened his palms, moved closer, and said, "Has your friend also salvaged here?"
"Here?" Wutou shook his head: "Belitung and Borneo are their favorite places. The coral reefs here have been explored countless times by predecessors, and there will be nothing valuable left. A few broken porcelain A movie, a few broken copper coins? Haha, it’s not enough for three meals a day. If this is what you came to Indonesia for, you might as well receive government subsidies in your own country, what do you think?”
Song Wenbin sat back slowly and sighed: "I admit that what you said before makes sense. Indeed, there is nothing valuable at the bottom of the sea. Now we are here to find you. Do you have any clues to share with me?"
"Well said, share."
Wu Tou said calmly, slowly picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said nothing.
There was a moment of dead silence in the wooden house.
Song Wenbin looked at Wu Tou's appearance, but he didn't know what he was thinking. This guy has exposed a little bit about his family, and I'm waiting for him to do the same. However, if he came to Indonesia to hunt for treasure alone, he might not mind sharing some information with him. But at the moment, he is performing a national mission and cannot tolerate any possibility of leaking secrets.
After pondering for a long time, Song Wenbin spit out two words.
"Shipwreck."
Wutou, who was drinking tea, moved for a moment, as if someone suddenly pressed the pause button. Then, he continued to drink slowly.
"What shipwreck?"
Su Tina and Huo Yu looked at Song Wenbin. At this time, they did not dare to express their anger and could only watch the language artist + cult leader in the team start to perform.
"Ancient shipwreck." Song Wenbin locked eyes on Wutou without blinking: "Ancient shipwreck worth tens of billions of dollars."
Wu Tou finally stopped drinking tea. He put down the porcelain bowl and looked at Song Wenbin with a solemn expression.
"What, a shipwreck worth tens of billions of dollars."
"We have top-secret clues. Near this area, there are ancient shipwrecks worth tens of billions of dollars." Song Wenbin said seriously.
"Chi. Hahahaha~"
After listening to Song Wenbin's words, Wu Tou burst out laughing.
I was laughing so hard that I couldn't hold back my joy.
Song Wenbin remained silent, waiting for him to finish laughing.
Finally, Wu Tou had laughed enough, and he said coldly: "Little brother, are you kidding me? There are sunken ships worth tens of billions of dollars. The waters around Indonesia, not to mention the Semarang area, are the entire Indonesia, the entire vastness." There may not even be one in the Pacific. The legendary Spanish San Jose is only worth a few billion dollars."
After a pause, Wutou sneered again: "If there is such a sunken ship, how can it be your turn to find it? Do you know why those treasure hunters have been searching near Belitung all year round? It was only in 1998 that a black stone emerged there. "The Tang Dynasty shipwreck, even the Blackstone, cost only 400 million US dollars, and converted to today, it is not as exaggerated as 10 billion."
"It's not about the abundance of treasures, but about the essence. If China's traditional jade seals and jade are unearthed, how much do you think they would be worth?" Song Wenbin said calmly: "You speak Chinese so well, you should know what I'm talking about. Bar."
Wu Tou's body trembled, his brows furrowed, and he stared at Song Wenbin closely.
Song Wenbin looked at him calmly.
Finally, Wu Tou's expression changed, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes. He suddenly supported the table and grabbed Song Wenbin's clothes.
Huo Yu stood up immediately, but Song Wenbin, who was kneeling on the floor, stretched out a hand to stop Huo Yu.
"Who gave you the news??" Wu Tou's eyes were enlarged, his breathing was rapid, and heat waves spewed out of his nose.
The invisible pressure suddenly increased. Su Tina and Huo Yu stared at Wutou motionless. Outside the wooden house, the film crew looked inside the cabin with extremely nervous expressions. They didn't know what was happening and didn't dare to get close.
Song Wenbin looked directly into Wutou's eyes and said coldly: "Your information is only enough to exchange for so much."
Under Song Wenbin's cold gaze, the bloodshotness and enthusiasm in Wutou's eyes gradually faded away. He looked at Song Wenbin in surprise, couldn't help but laugh twice, let go of his clothes, and sat down.
"To be able to drive such a luxurious yacht in the sea, I admit that you have some strength. Since you have strength, I don't mind telling you some valuable clues."
Song Wenbin straightened his collar expressionlessly, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Yes, your clues are indeed true. There is indeed a sunken ship worth tens of billions of dollars in Indonesia."
