Feng Dao walked to the entrance of the cave with a flashlight, bent down and picked up a skull and took a closer look. Then he shook the flashlight and took a look around. Then he walked to Wan Lin with the skull and said, "There are at least seven or eight here."
You can see that these bones have been severely weathered, and the death time should be one or two hundred years ago."
Wan Lin and others all looked at the skull raised by Feng Dao attentively. Sure enough, they saw that the skull was indeed badly damaged. Everyone shook their flashlights to shine a light on the surrounding bones, and found that they all showed signs of severe weathering.
Zhang Wa also held up the skull she had just picked up and said: "It's almost like this. The climate here is maritime, and the air contains salt from seawater. These salts are very corrosive, so these remains are severely weathered. But
It would indeed take more than a hundred years for it to weather to its current level."
Wang Dali on the side stared at the skull held by Zhang Wa and asked in surprise: "How come they all died here?" At this time, all the team members looked at the instructors. Xu Liang heard that these were all deaths.
After hundreds of years of corpses, he became more courageous. He walked up to Zhang Wa, poked his head and looked at the skull in his hand and said, "Are these the pirates who were blown here by the wind?"
Zhang Wa and others laughed when they heard what this guy said. Zhang Wa raised her hand and put the skull into his hand and said with a smile: "You guys have watched too many TV series, right? I said why are you scared when you see this thing? You are a pirate, too."
Why don't you look around to see if there are any gold or silver treasures? Maybe there are pirate treasures."
"Hahahaha" everyone around laughed, but they all looked at the ground around them with a look of surprise in their eyes.
At this time, Zhang Dahu and Yan Ying came over. They lowered their heads to look at the skeletons around them. Yan Ying looked up at several instructors and said, "It's the fishermen who were blown over by typhoons in the past. The fishing boats in the past were all wooden boats. If
If you don’t have time to take shelter during a typhoon, you will definitely be swept to some deserted islands by the wind and waves. It is estimated that these are the fishermen who survived at that time.”
Yan Ying thought for a while and then said: "This place is far away from the mainland, and the surrounding waters are densely covered with rocks. Few ships pass by. It is probably that we have caught up with such a strong typhoon outside. If we encounter such a typhoon at sea, we will not be caught by it.
The huge waves swept people and boats to the bottom of the sea, and they were blown to these desert islands by strong winds. So they may have been trapped and died in this cave. When I was a child, I heard from our fishermen who went fishing in the open sea that in some places
Dead bones like this are often seen on desert islands."
Zhang Dahu looked at the bones on the ground, looked up at Yan Ying in shock and said, "Oh my god, are fishermen so dangerous?" Everyone also looked at Yan Ying, except for Yan Ying who went out from the sea.
, most people were born in the interior and really don’t understand the life and work conditions of fishermen.
When Yan Ying heard Captain Zhang's question, he said with a heavy face: "The fishermen in the past were indeed like this. When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that fishermen used to go fishing for several months, but the fishing boats at that time were all
It is wooden and has a small tonnage, so it cannot withstand large winds and waves. In addition, there were no communication facilities like today. Fishermen who went out to sea could get weather warnings in advance, so it was indeed very dangerous for them to encounter typhoons at sea."
As he spoke, he looked up at everyone and continued: "In ancient times, many fishing boats encountered typhoons. The huge waves raised by the hurricane knocked people and boats directly into the seabed. Some were hit by strong winds and waves.
People like these drowned on the hard rocks and were blown to the island. Although the boat was smashed, they were still able to survive the huge waves, which is considered a blessing among misfortunes."
As he spoke, he turned to look at everyone's surprised eyes, and sighed with a gloomy face: "Well, the worst thing is the relatives waiting for their families to return home with their loads on the pier. It is said that in ancient times, at the end of the fishing season, there were always people on the pier.
A large number of people, old and young, had already gathered and were looking at the sea. Everyone looked eagerly at the fishing boats sailing back on the sea. When a fishing boat returned safely and docked at the dock, groups of people swarmed over to inquire about their relatives.
situation. But every time at this time, the tragic cries of groups of old and young would be heard on the pier."
When everyone heard Yan Ying's narration, they all looked at the dead bones under the cave wall with sad expressions. Xu Liang on the side murmured: "My mother, it turns out that the fisherman's profession is so dangerous!"
Hearing Xu Liang's exclamation, Yan Ying grinned and said, "That's all in the past. It's better now. The fishing boats are large-tonnage iron boats, and they have satellite positioning and communication facilities. Whenever the weather changes,
We will be notified in time at all times, so the risk has become very small.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the skeletons on the ground and continued: "I wonder how long these people were trapped on this deserted island with no water or desolation? In ancient times, if they were trapped on this deserted island without water and food,
It’s really difficult to hold on for a long time on a deserted island. Moreover, the surrounding sea area is in bad condition, and very few ships pass by. If it blows here, it will basically be a dead end, and it is difficult to have a chance of rescue!”
As he spoke, he looked at the sad Xu Liang and smiled again: "What you just said is right. It is said that there were many pirate ships on the sea at that time. They mainly robbed merchant ships full of goods, but sometimes they also harassed fishing boats.
, are the remains in front of me those of fishermen or pirates? I really can’t tell.”
At this moment, Yu Wenfeng and Yu Wenyu suddenly shouted together: "There are weapons here!" As they said this, they suddenly reached out and grabbed a dark object from a pile of bones.
Everyone hurried over and saw that one of the two people was holding an axe-like object in their hands, and the other was holding a half-cut blade that was already covered in rust.
Yan Ying reached out and took the thing in Yu Wenfeng's hand, took a closer look, and then said: "This is called a boarding axe." Then he turned around and looked at the thing in Yu Wenyu's hand and shouted: "This is a sailor's knife! This is definitely not carried by fishermen.
Things! Fishermen’s things are not so refined.”
As he said that, he quickly took the flashlight from Xu Liang next to him and shined it on the ground. He then used his feet to pull up the bones on the ground a few times and exclaimed in shock: "These people are really pirates! Look at the ground, there are long bones on the ground."
It looks like a musket, this should be a short musket!"
Everyone looked at the ground following the beam of light from his flashlight. Xu Liang bent down to pick up a gun-shaped object among the bones, but as soon as he touched it, it scattered with a "crash". Zhang Wa quickly shouted: "
Don't move, it's already weathered and will definitely break if touched."
Wan Lin and others also squatted down, raised their flashlights and looked at the skeletons around them in astonishment. Among the skeletons that had turned gray-brown, they did see several knife-shaped or gun-shaped things.
