    Back at the hotel, Wei Ni was playing with her daughter on the bed. When she saw Qin Shiou coming back, she glanced at him and asked in a long voice, "Why did you come back? Do you still want us two?"

    She turned her head, and Melon took the opportunity to stretch out his chubby hand and scratch her chest, and then chuckled as if he had gained an advantage.

    Qin Shiou pinched Wei Ni's pretty face from the other side and was about to speak, but Wei Ni quickly backed away, covered her face and said in horror: "Oh my God, why are your hands so cold? They are like ghosts! Don't touch me,  I'm afraid of the cold"

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

    Wei Ni didn¡¯t hesitate, she immediately grabbed her daughter who was standing behind her, stuffed it into her hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a warm baby. She¡¯s very hot, even hotter than me. Use her to warm your hands.¡±

    Qin Shiou rolled his eyes at this second-rate wife and ran to the desk to study the box.

    Wei Ni asked curiously: "What is this?"

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

    This box has a simple style and is wrapped in whale oil, so you can't see the details inside clearly. You can vaguely see that there are many complicated patterns on it.  The whale oil had been solidifying in the cold seabed for hundreds of years. He tapped it with his hand and it made a banging sound.

    Putting the box on the radiator, Qin Shiou ignored it and wanted to bake it first.

    After a night without a title, he got up as usual at six o'clock. When he looked outside, it was still dark and dark. It was estimated that the sun would not be out until nine or ten o'clock.

    Having nothing to do, he went to study the box again.  Perhaps due to the long time, high pressure of deep sea water, low temperature, etc., the whale oil seems to have deteriorated, and it is still as hard as a stone after roasting it all night.

    In order not to disturb the sleep of Wei Ni and Melon, he went to the living room downstairs. The old couple also got up and were busy cleaning. Xiong Da had a pile of biscuits in his arms and was eating happily.

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

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

    The boss brought him a plate of fragrant chocolate cookies and a cup of hot coffee. Xiong Da smelled the sweet smell of chocolate, got up flexibly, held the cookies and sat next to Qin Shiou.

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

    Qin Shiou looked at Xiong Da¡¯s stupid fat face, and then looked at his body like a mountain of flesh, and couldn¡¯t tell whether he was cunning or a little guy.

    After eating the biscuits in his arms in a few mouthfuls, Xiong Da stood up, fluffed up his fur and scattered the biscuit crumbs on it, then pulled Qin Shiou's shoulders and stood up, looking at the biscuits eagerly.

    Qin Shiou gave it two stuffers to make it sit down quietly, 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 when he saw the box in his hand and said, "Hey, young man, where did you get the pirate box?"

    "Pirate box?" Qin Shiou asked strangely.

    The boss smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes, Pirate Box, you know the origin of the name Greenland, right? It was named by pirates. This place used to be a paradise for pirates, fugitives, and bad guys, right?"

    Of course these Qin Shiou knew that the English name of Greenland is 'greeland', which means the green continent. It was named by a great pirate named Eric. He explained the reason for this in his diary: "If this  If the place has an attractive name, it will definitely attract many people to come here, so I can do a lot of business."

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

    "How did you know this was a pirate box?" Qin Shiou asked enthusiastically.

    The boss smiled and said: "It's very simple. The Vikings all know it. Pirate magic boxes are usually sealed with a layer of animal fat or whale oil, which can be waterproof and anti-freeze, ensuring that the contents inside are safe.Prevent corrosion from sea water, humid air, etc. This box of yours is like this.  "

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

    The boss turned back 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 of our fishermen here will use this method to seal it.  Box; secondly, even if it is a real pirate box, these guys probably wrote some mysterious things."

    Qin Shiou opened it patiently. He didn't have high hopes and just used this thing to pass the time.

    The whale oil solidified together was very hard, but also very brittle. After Qin Shiou beat it for a while, the whale oil block broke apart, revealing a brown-black box. He opened the box carefully, and there was indeed a booklet inside. In addition,  There is also a circle of gold coins.

    Because they are in a high-pressure and cold environment, and there is seawater and whale oil to isolate the air, these gold coins are different from those found by Qin Shiou on the seabed in the past. They have no rust at all and 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 would not be good for these gold coins to be discovered.

    Putting the box away, he opened the booklet and read it. The paper in the booklet should also be made of tanned lambskin, which is soft and tough. It was not oxidized and broken when it was suddenly exposed to air.  If it were ordinary paper, if it had been isolated for hundreds of years and suddenly exposed to the air, it would have been ruined long ago.

    But what disappointed him was that the word used in the pamphlet was a kind of Latin that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't understand a single sentence. This made him very disappointed.

    Fortunately, he had someone he could turn to. After taking detailed photos of every page of the booklet, he added photos of gold coins and sent them to Billy and Little Black, asking them to help translate it.

    Neither of them were online. Qin Shiou waited for a while but no one responded. He left the hotel when it was dawn.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
