Tang Mianmian asked with a troubled look on her face, "Is this the legendary death by swallowing gold?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "...it's a bit difficult to die after swallowing so much."
Duan Hongzhen kicked the box over, but because the body filled the box so full, even if the box turned sideways, the body inside did not fall out and was still firmly squeezed in the box.
Duan Hongzhen looked around, saw Tang Mianmian from Xiao Tangqiu, then turned to look at Fei You and Zhang Zuo: "Hey, you two, get the body out of the box."
Fei You and Zhang Zuo's faces turned pale, and they subconsciously wanted to shake their heads to refuse, but Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows, and they obediently ran to dig up the corpse. As newcomers, they didn't have much choice.
After a while, the body was finally dug out.
Duan Hongzhen stepped on the corpse's belly and said, "It's hard. It looks like there are gold coins inside."
Without hesitation, he used a knife to cut the body in half. Sure enough, the inside of the body was filled with gold coins, and all the internal organs had disappeared.
Tang Mianmian touched her chin and asked, "Could these be the lost treasures?"
Duan Hongzhen sneered: "Do you think it could be that simple?"
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly noticed something. He overcame his inner discomfort and reached out to pull out a ruby ring from the pile of gold coins.
This is an ancient ruby ring with a huge ruby in the center. The ruby is crystal clear, crimson in color, and sparkles with dazzling luster.
"Wow! What a huge ruby!" Tang Mianmian's eyes lit up instantly. "How much is this worth? I really want to try it on!"
Xiao Tangqiu's mouth twitched: "This was dug out from a corpse, do you want to wear it?"
Tang Mianmian: "...Forget it."
"Hmm? What kind of ring is this?" Duan Hongzhen leaned over to take a look. "Could it be some important clue?"
Xiao Tangqiu stared at the ruby ring. For some reason, he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Apart from the gold coins and the ruby ring, they found nothing else, so they moved to another place and looked for a room that could be opened with the key.
The interior of the cabin was not big. Apart from the place where the sailors rested, there were only a few rooms left. After trying one by one, they finally found the only room that could be opened with a key.
"It's open!" Duan Hongzhen pushed open the door, and a cloud of choking dust immediately hit him. "This is the kitchen. It seems that guy just now is indeed a chef."
Xiao Tangqiu walked into the room and saw that it was indeed a kitchen, but it was covered in dust and filled with an extremely strange smell.
"Is this really a kitchen? There's nothing here!" Tang Mianmian looked around. "Where are the vegetables? Where are the fruits? Where is the meat?"
"After so many years, even if there was food, it would have spoiled long ago!" Fei You carefully put forward his thoughts. "But it is indeed a bit strange. Even if the food was spoiled, there should be something left, right? But this place is clearly empty! If it weren't for a few cooking utensils, it wouldn't look like a kitchen at all!"
"Wait! There's a diary here!" Xiao Tangqiu took a few steps and suddenly found a yellowed diary on the ground. He immediately bent down and picked it up.
