"Don't want to persist? Then jump into the sea and swim back." Gao Zhuang said coldly, with a cruel expression. With this look, if you were to film a club brother in a movie or TV series, it would be a completely pornographic role.
Of course, in Tao Li's view, this is a strong guarantee and makes her feel more at ease. However, after giving the assurance, Gao Zhuang hesitated again: "This painting"
¡°If it had been before and he had seen Tao Li¡¯s resolute attitude, he might as well have accepted the picture. But now that I know that there is a secret hidden in the picture, it would be a bit inappropriate to accept the picture again. For a moment, Gao Zhuang looked at Wang Guan with a consulting look in his eyes, probably wanting Wang Guan to help him make a decision.
At the right moment, Tao Li frowned and said, "Why, Brother Gao thinks this painting is too ordinary and he doesn't like it?"
"No, no, no" Gao Zhuang shook his head repeatedly: "Things are very precious, I can't accept them easily."
"How precious can it be if it's not stamped or printed?" Tao Li said casually: "It's just more commemorative. I heard that the painting is of the Sea Dragon King. Brother Gao, hanging the painting in the cabin is a good sign. .¡±
Gao Zhuang was not easy to talk to, so he directly said: "Brother Wang, what do you think?"
"This issue¡¡"
Wang Guan was very dissatisfied with Gaozhuang's behavior of kicking the ball, so he also used Tai Chi: "This thing is a gift for you, you can do it yourself."
¡°Then can I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and then give them to you?¡±
It has to be said that Gao Zhuang was also a bit quick-witted. He directly attacked and eliminated Wang Guan's Tai Chi push hand. He not only successfully defused Wang Guan's Tai Chi push hand, but also successfully pulled him into the water.
"This is a gift for you, but you gave it to me. Is it worthy of my heart?"
Of course, Wang Guan was not fooled so easily and tried to shirk it again. After all, this matter is really not easy to deal with. The main reason is that Gao Zhuang's intentions are not sure. Making random decisions can easily destroy the friendship between you.
"oops."
At the same time, Tao Li couldn't stand it anymore and said impatiently: "It's just a gift. Is it necessary to push back and forth? In this way, my mother-in-law looks more like a woman than me."
"Well¡¡"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. The other two people stopped talking. After looking at each other, they could see what the other person was thinking in their eyes, and they nodded in unison. There was also a decision.
"Who said that?" Wang Guan asked.
"Go ahead." Gao Zhuang smiled and said, "After all, you discovered it."
"OK!"
At the right time, Wang Dian nodded, stretched out his hand to take the dragon painting, rubbed it for a moment, and said very seriously: "We are not being polite when we say this painting is precious and push it around. This painting body is really not worth much. , but I don¡¯t know how much the secret hidden in it is worth.¡±
"What?" Tao Li was stunned: "What's the secret in the painting?"
"The pirate's treasure map"
After Wang Guan finished speaking, Tao Li burst into laughter: "You really believe what Douzi said. I have already said that this thing is a dowry, not a relic of the Pirate King"
"Don't worry, we dare to say this. There must be evidence."
Wang Guan smiled and said: "We don't know if the thing is a relic of the Pirate King, and we don't know what your grandma's ancestors did. But in the picture, there is indeed a navigation chart."
While speaking, Wang Guan motioned to Gao Zhuang to hang the picture in the light. Under the sunlight, the ink marks penetrated the back, and a sea map vaguely emerged. Especially the hideous and terrifying skulls are enough to prove that all this is not their imagination.
"ah."
After taking a look, Tao Li couldn't help but marvel. Although her hair is a bit long, her knowledge is definitely not short. Especially since I grew up by the sea, I am certainly no stranger to pirate legends.
However, Tao Li is past the age of dreaming, and she is not a passionate man, so she naturally has no interest in finding pirate treasures. But she never expected that, without any mental preparation, she would actually see a treasure map, and it was a treasure map hidden in her ancestral drawings.
At this moment, Tao Li felt that her brain was a little weak, and she couldn't recover for a while.
"Calm down, be calm."
Understanding that this incident had a big impact on Tao Li, Wang Guan quickly persuaded her with gentle words: "Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. And you have to know that a chart alone is useless. You can't find it." Whether the thing or the treasure is still there or not is two different things. Now is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.We are still far away from the treasure"
Under Wang Guan¡¯s guidance, Tao Li gradually came back to her senses, and then asked in surprise: ¡°Is this true?¡±
"The things are your ancestral possessions. You should know better than us whether they are real or not." Wang Guan said with a smile: "You don't have to believe us, but you should believe your own eyes."
"Don't think that pirate treasures are just legends."
At this time, Gao Zhuang also helped: "Half a year ago, we discovered a batch of pirate treasures. It was that experience that gave me enough funds to purchase this big ship"
The facts are in front of Tao Li, and there is no room for disbelief. But for a moment, she still looked a little confused and confused.
Tao Li was confused, but Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang were not confused. After the two looked at each other, Wang Guan spoke again: "This is the situation. I wonder what you are going to do?"
"What are you going to do?"
Tao Li was stunned for a moment, then understood. Yes, why is the sea map hidden in the picture? This kind of thing is not the key issue. The main thing is that this sea map looks very much like the legendary pirate treasure map. With a treasure map in hand, what would you do under normal circumstances? There is no doubt that it must be a treasure hunt.
The problem is that treasure hunting is not easy. Tao Li is not stupid, so she naturally understands that with the current economic conditions of the Tao family, going out to sea to hunt for treasure must be a joke. Besides, Tao Li remembers clearly that although the pictures are her ancestral possessions, the secrets in them were cracked by others.
With her thoughts turning over and over again, Tao Li showed a bright smile: "Brother Gao, the things have been given to you, they are your things. Whatever you say, then do it."
clever¡¡
For a moment, Wang Guan couldn't help but praise secretly in his heart. The reason why people are stupid is because greed clouds their reason. But Tao Li is very smart. She knows her own shortcomings and what she should do to maximize her benefits.
Wang Guan and Gao Zhuang are not selfish people. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to be honest with each other after discovering the secret of the painting. Tao Li just figured this out, and then generously expressed that she would let the two of them make the decision. After all, I believe in the character of these two people. If there is really any benefit, they will definitely not ignore the Tao family.
If Tao Dou is ambitious, then Tao Li is down-to-earth. With a better understanding of the hardships and cruelties of society, after weighing the pros and cons, it is easier to make decisions that are more in line with one's own interests.
It¡¯s hard to say what the outcome would have been if Tao Dou had been present instead. Or maybe he doesn't have this awareness at all, but instead happily asks Gao Zhuang to help him hunt for treasures, or even wants to keep the treasures for himself after finding them. The end will definitely be tragic.
No matter what, seeing that Tao Li had made a wise choice, Gao Zhuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "It's too early to say anything now. After we find something, we will discuss it slowly."
This is a wise move. After all, the so-called treasure is not there yet, and there is no way to talk about distribution. We are not fools, and we cannot be like the villains in film and television novels, fighting for an unseen treasure, only to be taken advantage of in the end.
"The main thing is this chart."
At the same time, Wang Guan pondered: "I don't know where it is."
"It looks familiar." Gao Zhuang also continued to study, from the distribution of islands to the outline of the sea, he made a detailed analysis and kept recalling and comparing.
"here¡¡"
At this moment, Tao Li looked around and said with some hesitation: "From my point of view, it seems to be the Taiwan Strait"
"What?"
In an instant, Gao Zhuang woke up, quickly laid the picture sideways, studied it for a while, and nodded: "Yes, that's right, it is indeed the Taiwan Strait"
"Taiwan Strait?"
At the same time, Wang Guan frowned: "If this is really the case, then there will be some trouble."
It¡¯s no wonder Wang Guan is in trouble, after all, due to well-known reasons, both sides of the Taiwan Strait have divided their respective sea areas. If you cross the border without a valid reason, you will definitely be sent back.
At this time, Gao Zhuang also reacted, frowning and said: "Yes, it's really troublesome."
"Brother Wang, what can you do?"
For a moment, Gaozhuang also had some expectations. After all, in his impression, Wang Guan is a man with great supernatural powers, very capable, and may be able to solve this problem.
"You can research the place where the treasure may be hidden, and where it is specifically." Wang Guan indicated that if it is in the middle of the two sides of the strait, then no matter how sensitive it is, you can try to salvage it.
The problem is that after passing through GaozhuangAfter careful comparison, use a pen to outline a rough range directly on the existing navigation chart. This range is where treasures may be hidden in the treasure map. However, this sea area is very close to Taiwan Island. If you approach rashly without a suitable reason, you will be expelled and detained, which is a matter of course.
"how so¡¡"
At this moment, Tao Li's disappointment was palpable. I thought this was an excellent opportunity to improve my living conditions, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a mirror image that I couldn't even see or touch.
"Don't worry, think about it again, there should be a way." Gao Zhuang frowned and thought hard: "Open a trading company, go to Taiwan to purchase goods and pass through that sea area, stay for a few hours, should it be okay?"
"It sounds feasible, but in actual operation, it seems very complicated" Wang Guan shook his head. When he was at a loss what to do, his phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, he found that it was Mr. Qian's call, and he quickly answered it.
"What, go to Taiwan?"
After a while, Wang Guan looked strange and thought he was hearing hallucinations.
