Big Islander 2

Chapter 123

"Brother Octopus, good job, I will definitely reward you this time!" Tang Jide patted Brother Octopus on his bare head, "How about getting you a glass trophy later?"

The octopus's aesthetic views and values ​​are obviously different from those of humans. Even a trophy made of diamonds is not much different from glass in its eyes, but it should be made of crystal anyway. Cope with things.

Hearing that the skull was found, the little Xiami hurried over, and Brother Octopus swayed his arms and legs in front of her eyes, and then the little Xiami saw a white skull, and there was a big bone stick on the other arm. , it looks like it should be the thigh bone.

"Uncle Big Head, I haven't heard that there is a BJ's thigh bone—" Xiao Xiami carefully looked at the very complete skull, which was obviously not a fossil, and if nothing else happened, it should be the skeleton of the victims on the Awamaru.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head, and then slapped Brother Octopus twice hard on his bald head: "How dare you lie about the military situation, go to work!"

According to Big Brother, it is more professional to hand over the bones of the little devil to the bastard general, but considering that the bastard general has been upgraded to the bastard president, it is probably not easy to do this kind of business anymore, so I handed it over to the deputy minister. After handling it, pass it through the Red Cross and hand it over to the little devil.

After working until dark, it was time to call it a day. The second salvage day was very fruitful, with several tons of gold and silver being harvested in addition to other supplies.This also made all the personnel involved in this salvage activity very excited. The food standard for dinner was significantly improved, and liquor was also served in a limited amount.

Because of a big oolong, Tang Jide's interest was not high, and he didn't show off his cooking skills, which made Mr. Vice Minister feel a little regretful.After tactfully expressing his thoughts, Tang Jide didn't say anything, but instead aroused the dissatisfaction of the pheasant: "Say it earlier, tell Datou to save that skull and big bone stick, and make bone soup for you, quack quack -"

This guy was simply carrying which pot he couldn't open, so he was naturally kicked twice by Tang Datou.

Early the next morning, when the morning glow covered the sea, the salvage continued.Near noon, there was another unexpected harvest. Scattered translucent particles were sucked up from Brother Octopus's arms and feet, and they dangled in front of Tang Jide.

"Wow you big-headed ghost, you used frosted glass to pretend to be a diamond again!" With yesterday's lesson, Tang Jide didn't believe in Brother Octopus anymore.

But when Xiao Xiami came over to inspect it, he exclaimed in surprise: "Diamond, it's really a diamond!"

No way - Tang Jide also grabbed a piece of "rock candy" and put it in front of his eyes to watch.At any rate, he had also been shopping for diamonds in Africa, and he soon determined that the thing in his hand was indeed a diamond.So with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to pat Brother Octopus's bald head: "It seems that I should give you a trophy—"

"It's a pity that the quality is not high, and it can't reach the gem level. It should be an industrial diamond." After observing for a while, Xiao Xiami came to a conclusion.

It made me happy again——Tang Jide was furious, and just about to slap him, Brother Octopus stretched his arms and feet, avoiding his capricious palm.

Although the value of industrial diamond is not very high, it is better than glass, so this day is considered a small gain.By the end of the night, nearly [-] tons of gold had been salvaged, and more than [-] tons of silver had been salvaged, which was a remarkable achievement.

"According to historical records, there are 40 tons of gold on the Awa Maru, so I hope that comrades will continue to work hard and successfully complete the tasks entrusted to us by the motherland and the people!" Mr. Vice Minister gave a speech with a wine glass, and he was also immersed in excitement and joy , His political achievements have filled in a lot, and this is all thanks to the blessing of Peach Blossom Island.

The workers' response to the leader's encouragement was mediocre.The deputy minister thought about it a bit: It seems that it is appropriate to say these words to those octopus soldiers...

The salvage work went on for ten days, and at the end, seeing that the octopus soldiers had fished up even the gravel and some clam shells from the bottom of the sea, it was estimated that there was really nothing to salvage, so Tang Jide announced that the joint salvage operation was a success End.

Looking at nearly 40 tons of gold and 12 tons of silver, Tang Jide was also very pleased: Finally, his work was not in vain!

And the deputy minister was a little bit regretful, after all, no BJ human skull was found in the sunken ship. If he could successfully find this world-class treasure, the word "deputy" in front of the minister could be properly removed.

However, in the report materials, he still wrote with certainty that the speculation that BJ's skull was on the Awa Maru must be wrong.

As for the reason, it's very simple, he completely believes in the ability of the octopus soldiers.Not to mention the skull, even such tiny diamond particles can be picked up.

Tang Jide also declined the warm invitation of Mr. Vice Minister, and returned directly to Hong Kong Island. As for the final distribution of spoils, I left it to the second senior brother to deal with it. Anyway, the domestic economy is developing rapidly and there is no shortage of money.

Originally, Mr. Vice Minister was planning to send them back to Hong Kong Island by plane, but Tang Jide declined politely. Thinking about seeing this group of people surfing on the sea when he came, the Deputy Minister no longer reluctantly, on the contrary, he was a little bit Enviously watching a group of people being wrapped up by the arms and legs of the octopus, disappearing between the vast sea and sky.

He couldn't figure it out: he is also the master of the island, so why is he so chic?

After leaving the Taiwan Strait and entering the high seas, Tang Jide and his party finally joined the boats from Taohua Island.On the deck, he finally saw He Tiantian after a long absence.

"Hehe, look at the meeting gift that brother gave you—" Tang Jide flew up and threw the sweet little girl into the air.

"Pay attention to the influence, there are still minors here." The pheasant muttered dissatisfiedly, and it couldn't see Tang Datou's embarrassment.

Tang Jide kissed He Tiantian's forehead lightly, then put her on the deck, and then pointed into the sea, saw dozens of big octopuses waving their arms and legs, with several boxes rolled up on them, and A few bits and pieces.

"These are all antiques?" He Tiantian understood a little bit.

It is said that in addition to shipping materials, there were also looted antiques on the Awa Maru back then.Regarding these things, Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami hid their minds, and asked the octopus soldiers to keep them secretly, and when they left, they took the sheep by hand, which can be regarded as accumulating a batch of auction items for the Ocean Treasure Museum.

Seeing these antiques, He Tiantian immediately went to work and began to inspect them.Touching the rusty bronze ware, little girl Tiantian looked sad.These national treasures, because of long-term immersion in the seabed, it is difficult to restore their charm.

After opening a box, everyone was even more distressed, because there was a mass of mud inside.Some traces of paper and silk can be vaguely seen. Needless to say, it must contain ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.Those that can be scooped up by little devils must be treasures, but it is a pity that they can no longer appreciate them.

"Damn it!" Tang Jide's fist hit his thigh heavily, and now he has a strong urge to beat someone.

Although there are quite a lot of antiques, there are not many that can really be repaired. Only some materials that are not afraid of seawater erosion can be preserved.This also caused Brother Big Head's initial excitement to turn into deep disappointment. With this kind of thought, he opened the last tin box.

"This is—" Tang Jide was stunned for a moment, holding a piece of skull in his hand, from which he could clearly feel the vicissitudes left by the years.

It seems that in an instant, he has traveled tens of thousands of years and returned to the vast and boundless ancient times.Caves, bonfires, hunting, small figures swayed in front of his eyes, and then became more and more stalwart, filling his entire mind.

"Ancestor." Tang Jide knelt down holding the skull in his hands.

Similarly, Xiao Xiami and He Tiantian also knelt beside him and worshiped together.

On the contrary, Daxing was confused, he scratched the back of his head, and then knelt down beside Xiao Xiami.As a result, he was mercilessly ridiculed by the pheasant: "People worship their ancestors, but they are not your ancestors. You are an orangutan, okay, you haven't evolved into a human yet—"

Tang Jide carefully took out five skull fossils from the box, and the result greatly exceeded his expectations: BJ's skull was indeed on board the Awa Maru, and this was a big trouble.

For such a national treasure that belongs to the whole of China, Tang Jide is absolutely not willing to hold back.It stands to reason that it should be returned to the country and kept in a museum to accept the admiration and prostration of every descendant of the Yellow Emperor.But by doing so, it is obvious that he has tampered with during the salvage process, and spreading the word will damage the reputation of Peach Blossom Island. It is estimated that no one will dare to cooperate with Peach Blossom Island's salvage team in the future.

Brother Big Tou doesn't really care about his own reputation, but he has to pay attention to it when it concerns Peach Blossom Island.These five skulls have turned into hot potatoes at this moment.

Little Xiami still has a way, blinking his big eyes a few times: "Uncle Big Head, he will definitely cooperate with us in the salvage in the future, and then find a suitable opportunity to make these skulls appear."

Tang Jide touched her watermelon head: "That's the only way. Before that, we must keep it secret. Pheasant, especially you with a big mouth, you must never mention the skull to anyone!"

The pheasant landed on the guardrail, and it moved its nest: "I can't be sure. These days, in order to raise funds for the pheasant award, I have been exhausted physically and mentally. I always talk in my sleep at night, and I might slip up at any time."

This is simply a blatant threat, but Tang Jide originally planned to sponsor the pheasant, so he didn't take it seriously: "How much gap do you still have?"

"It is estimated that there will be another 20 tons of gold, so it will be enough." The pheasant began to open its mouth, and a ton of gold must exceed [-] million yuan, which shows that the pheasant's appetite is still quite large.

Tang Jide stared: "I think it's time for you to go into the sea and wake up—"

The pheasant quickly flew behind Xiao Xiami, and then poked its head out: "I'm asking for a lot of money, you can pay it back on the spot."
