On the second day after returning to Kazan, it was almost noon. Taking advantage of the quietness at home, Wei Ran, who had slept all morning, finally got up when his dog Beria scratched the door over and over again.

Wei Ran randomly put on a thick pajamas, looked out the window at the fallen leaves in the yard being blown by the autumn wind, and finally stretched out and opened the door, and walked into the kitchen with the dog shaking his head and wagging his tail.

He took out a large piece of bone-in venison from the freezer and threw it into the pressure cooker specially made for dogs.

The venison was naturally sent from Inta, but the only ones interested in the venison were Wei Ran, Beria, and the two big-eared foxes who were taken to an unknown place.

While the meat and bones were cooking, Wei Ran also yawned and walked to the fireplace, lighting the fireplace that he had not lighted when he came back last night, and then collapsed on a couch covered with thick bearskin.

Go up, scratching Beria's big furry head with his hands, while thinking about what he would eat later.

However, before he could figure out what to eat for his first meal, and before Beria's breakfast was ready, an off-road vehicle with a red and black thorn pattern on the hood drove up to the entrance of the yard.

He knew that it was the car that Greva had recently bought, so even though he didn't know why the other person came here, he still pressed the remote control switch of the door.

However, when the off-road vehicle stopped at the door, the door opened and the person who walked out of it was the dangerous woman Jia Ya!

After locking the dog Beria, who had already arched his back, into the storage room, Wei Ran, who was originally lying on the recliner, quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Just as he opened the solid wood door, a middle-aged woman with brown skin, a strong figure, and a rather honest appearance emerged from the off-road vehicle.

It wasn't over yet. With the support of this middle-aged woman, another person got out of the car. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He looked quite smart, but he had a lot of band-aids on his face and a splint on one arm.

little Asian girl!

"Why don't you say hello in advance when Miss Jia Ya comes to your door?"

Wei Ran patted his pajamas and joked to himself, "At least give me time to change."

"I just did it on the spur of the moment. I hope I won't cause any trouble to Mr. Wei."

Jia Ya, who was wearing a long black windbreaker, said, holding Wei Ran's hand together, and also joked in a joking tone, "Or should we wait outside the door?"

"No, please come in."

Wei Ran shook hands with the other party twice before letting go in time and getting out of the way, "Gleva, help me make a pot of tea to entertain you. I'm the only one at home now."

"I heard from my eldest nephew that Mr. Wei has many beautiful girls in his family."

Jia Ya smiled and sat on the sofa under the guidance of Wei Ran. The muscular woman who had been following her and the little girl who was holding her hand also cautiously moved up to a third of their buttocks.

Sitting on the sofa.

"That was indeed the case, but it was an unlucky time for you to come."

Wei Ran explained while bringing a plate of fruit, "They all went to France recently. You guys sit down first while I go change clothes."

Hearing this, Jia Ya nodded with a smile, picked up an apple, and flicked her wrist. A World War II German paratrooper knife appeared in her hand, and she slowly peeled the apple in her hand.

He returned to the second floor and changed into a set of clothes that were suitable for entertaining guests but not formal. He also briefly washed himself. When he came down again, the little girl and the muscular woman already had one more in their hands.

Peeled apple.

Jia Ya, who had taken off her windbreaker, revealing a slim-fitting suit, was holding a cup of black tea and drinking it leisurely.

"Let me introduce you."

After Jia Ya waited for Greva to leave the room at Wei Ran's signal, she first glanced at the sturdy middle-aged woman, and then introduced in Chinese with great interest, "This is Mr. Luke's partner's mother, Saman."

Ms. Shah. She is a Melanesian. In their tribe, she is a shaman who can do divination. In addition, she only knows the dialect of their tribe and does not know other languages, so the only way to communicate with her is through the little boy next to her.

girl."

After saying that, Jia Ya gently patted the shoulder of the little Asian girl between her and Samantha, and continued to introduce in Chinese, "This beautiful Chinese girl is Lucinda, and her Chinese name is

Lu Xinda will be 16 years old at the end of this year. She can speak Chinese, English, and the dialect of the Samantha tribe.

Luxinda is Iger's sister. Of course, they are both adopted children by the old sailor Chris, so there is actually no blood relationship between them."

"Is she the child that has never been found?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

Jia Ya smiled and nodded, "My people spent a lot of effort to find them in a primitive tribe."

Having said this, Jia Ya opened the briefcase beside her and took out a crocodile leather photo album that Wei Ran had only seen in photos!

"Mr. Wei, where is my brother Aige?" the little girl named Lu Xinda asked in a very polite and decent Chinese language.

"Your brother went to France this morning."

Wei Ran looked at the time and said, "You should still be on the plane at this time. After he lands, how about I let him have a video call with you?"

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in the little girl's eyes, and then she nodded slowly.

"You speak Chinese very well. Who taught you that?"

Wei Ran took the photo album handed over by Jia Ya and placed it on his lap, but did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he asked about Lu Xinda gently.

"my dad"

Lu Xinda said calmly, "I used to be an Indonesian Chinese. My father and Chris's father were sailors on the same ship. Before he died of illness, he entrusted me to Chris's father. I was 7 years old at the time. Unfortunately, there was no one after that.

Not long ago, Chris’s father also passed away.”

"Feel sorry"

"It doesn't matter." The little girl shook her head calmly, but her big, spiritual eyes were filled with mist.

Jia Ya slowly put down the tea cup, "Okay, I have delivered the person you asked for, and the photo album you asked for. From now on, they will be taken care of by you. Mr. Wei, I still have to rush back to Feihou, so it won't be too much."

Stayed."

"Wait a minute." Wei Ran, who was about to open the photo album, raised his head in surprise, "What did you just say?"

"I have to rush back to the Philippines..."

"Previous sentence" Wei Ran became more and more weird.

"They will be taken care of by you from now on."

Jia Ya pointed to the photo album in Wei Ran's hand, "I helped you find them and this photo album. Do you still plan to let me take care of them for the rest of their lives?"

"Uh..." Wei Ran patted his forehead, and that was indeed the case.

Now that I have found both the person and the photo album, and they have delivered it to me personally, no matter what aspect I consider, I have no reason to refuse.

Not only that, he also truly owed Jia Ya a favor.

And he knew very well that Jia Ya personally sent them and the photo album here just to make him owe a favor.

Don't think that this is a bad thing. If you use a more mysterious term, this thing of favor can be called "karma".

Rather than sowing causes and bearing fruits, sometimes, or even most of the time, people like Jia Ya and Wei Ran tend to be more inclined to "not get involved in cause and effect", because regardless of cause or effect, it will ultimately mean

A trouble that cannot be avoided - just like Luke who came to the door.

Wanting to understand this, Wei Ran put aside the photo album that he had not yet opened, stood up with a smile and said, "Miss Jia Ya, please wait a moment, I also have a thank you gift that I want to give you."

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked to the door of the storage room, opened the door, grabbed Beria's collar, and locked her into the next room. Then he turned around and invited, "Miss Jia Ya, please come in."

Hearing this, Jia Ya stood up gracefully, followed Wei Ran into the storage room, and allowed the latter to close the door.

But soon, her eyes widened slightly because Wei Ran opened a thick towel on the shelf. Under the towel was a small but golden statue of Mazu!

"The golden statue of Chen's Mazu!"

Jia Ya blurted out subconsciously, but Wei Ran instantly realized that he definitely knew this dangerous woman and had even seen a similar golden statue.

"Miss Jia Ya has seen similar gold statues?" Wei Ran put down his towel and asked with a smile.

"seen"

Jia Ya nodded, "According to rumors, there are 23 such gold statues, each weighing 23 kilograms. Of course, this kilogram was the standard of the Ming Dynasty. One kilogram at that time was about 600 grams today.

In addition to the 23 gold statues, there are also three more precious mutton-fat jade statues of Mazu. Each one weighs 30 kilograms (Ming Dynasty). The two sets of Mazu statues together symbolize the birth of Mazu on March 23.

"

After a short pause, Jia Ya glanced at Wei Ran, and then asked rather strangely, "These are the collection of Nanyang pirate Chen Zuyi in the early Ming Dynasty. It is said that they were tributes given to him by the small countries in Nanyang at that time.

Nowadays, there are only five gold statues in the world, and only one mutton-fat jade head sculpture of Mazu is still alive, so where did you find this one?"

"When I was looking for the captain of the Johnston, I accidentally found it under the remains of the little devil." Wei Ran said truthfully, but did not explain too much.

Hearing this, Jia Ya wisely did not ask any more questions. She just walked around to the side of the golden statue and found the two small characters the size of mung beans - Chen Qi - in a gap in the wave-shaped base.

"This is the seventh one," Jia Ya muttered to herself.

"If you like it, I can give it to you as a gift." Wei Ran said suddenly.

"Give it to me?"

Jia Ya glanced at Wei Ran in surprise, then shook her head with a smile, picked up the towel on the shelf and covered the golden statue again, "I know that this golden statue is still alive, and in

It is a very good gift in your hands, but you should keep this golden statue for yourself."

"Miss Jia Ya doesn't like it?" Wei Ran asked deliberately.

"In the words of my boss, the fate has not yet arrived."

Jia Ya said with a smile, "Keep her well. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved in the future, I will tell my boss the news that you hold this golden statue. At that time, in order to get this golden statue, he will

I will try my best to help you."

"So it's a life-saving charm?"
