Chapter 208 Treasure

Map

Zhou Cangsong quickly brought another pair of tweezers. Lao Wu took the tweezers and carefully penetrated into the small round hole at the bottom of the pen holder. He moved it several times before clamping the paper tube inside, and then gently pulled it out.

Lao Wu put the rolled paper tube on the table, then looked at it with a flashlight, shook it again, and after trying nothing inside, he put down the pen holder.

Zhou Xuan had known that there was nothing inside, so he didn't use ice to detect it again. His curiosity was long attracted by the paper tube and he didn't know what was written on it.

Old Wu took the paper tube and did not open it first, but pointed to the debris falling from the small round hole and said: "These are made of ceramic raw material clay and clay. The surface is painted with black paint. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. But most people will not know that there is still mystery inside. I guess the owner of this pen holder has instructions for his descendants and passed it down as a family heirloom, so this inexpensive piece can be preserved so well!"

"Old... sir, hurry up and see what is written on the note!" Li Wei was anxious and was about to call the old man, but he realized that he was from Zhou Xuan's shop, so he quickly changed his words. He did not dare to offend someone respected by Zhou Xuandu.

Old Wu asked with a paper tube and smiled and said, "Let's guess, let's see who guessed the results are similar. Let me talk first. The paper tube has been hidden in the pen tube for at least eighty years. Tell me!"

Among the people present, Zhou Cangsong and Lao Wu were older, but they were both in their fifties, while Zhou Xuan and Li Wei were both in their twenties. Of course, they didn’t feel the same way when they wrote it out. Who knows when?

Zhou Cangsong smiled and said, "Old Wu, this thing is probably a will made by the older generation for the next generation in his life, but it may be rushed when he dies and dies before he can tell it out, so the paper tube is still hidden inside."

Li Wei stretched his head closer, blinked his eyes and said, "Can you know the secrets of martial arts? It's like the true scriptures of the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, the Great Transfer of the Universe?"

Old Wu gave him a blank look and snorted: "You young man, you have read too many martial arts novels!"

Li Wei said embarrassedly: "I really don't read martial arts novels!" In fact, Li Wei was wrong. He basically doesn't like reading any book.

"Old Wu!" Zhou Xuan said at last, "I wonder, will this be a treasure or a drawing like a treasure?"

Old Wu smiled and then slowly opened the paper tube. Under the light, several people looked at the paper sticks. After opening the paper tube, they realized that it was rolled into a barrel of two pieces of paper.

Lao Wu separated the two pieces of paper, one of which was full of words, some grass, and it seemed to be traditional. He didn't know much about Zhou Xuan and Li Wei, and Zhou Cangsong, who had the lowest culture, could not recognize him.

On the other piece of paper is a picture, but not a picture of characters, but a picture that looks like a map.

Old Wu took the piece of writing paper to his hand and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he began to ponder.

Li Wei was most anxious and asked repeatedly: "What is it? What is it written on it?"

Old Wu nodded to Zhou Xuan and said, "Xiao Zhou is probably quite reliable. It's really a treasure map or something!" As he said, Old Wu spread two pieces of paper flat on the table and said slowly, "This picture is a place in the East China Sea. I don't know this very well, so I can't figure out where it is. Moreover, the drawing method of this picture was made in the Xianfeng period, and the middle and late Qing Dynasty was very different from that in modern times. Moreover, this picture is written."

Old Wu looked at Zhou Xuan and smiled and said, "I think this person is a national hero. This person is named Zhang Hu. He is a green forest hero with martial arts and high water quality. One hundred and fifty years ago, about ten years of Xianfeng. During the Second Opium War, the coalition forces of Britain, France, the United States and Russia burned the Old Summer Palace, plundered our country's wealth, and plundered a large number of gold, silver, treasures and extremely valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Then when transported back to China by sea, Zhang Hu sneaked into the British cargo ship and waited for an opportunity to sank a ship. According to Zhang Hu, this ship

It was the ship with the most treasures. Zhang Hu met with the fishing boat that was receiving him after the shipwreck. Although the ship sank, the depth of this area was far beyond the distance they could dive. Therefore, the cargo ship carrying a large number of treasures was forever silent on the bottom of the Yellow Sea. Zhang Hu could only draw the location of the shipwreck. Later, his descendants hid Zhang Hu's picture with a specially-fired pen holder, and his descendants wrote a note together. This note explains the reason for another picture!"

"So it's such a treasure, it should be very valuable!" Although Li Wei didn't understand antiques and antiques, he knew from elementary school textbooks that the treasures collected in the Old Summer Palace were not ordinary like folk collections. The Old Summer Palace was a museum of the Qing royal family. They were all national treasures of the Qing royal family. If you take one, it would be a priceless treasure.

"It's not just a priceless description!" Old Wu sighed and shook his head, then said: "I'm not a historian, there's no need to comment on the right and wrong of this matter, just to judge the facts. I think this picture is not reliable. First, because in that era, the map was not comprehensive and accurate. Second, Zhang Hu, who was familiar with the sea area and had good water quality, just used his understanding to draw this picture. If you change to another person, you probably won't recognize it. Moreover, Zhang Hu is not a knowledgeable person. Not to mention the coordinates and longitude and longitude. At that time, this picture might have been a bit valuable, but it's not very valuable, because at that time there was no tool to dive into the seabed above 1,000 meters deep. Even if you know where it was, you can't salvage it!"

When Zhou Xuan heard Lao Wu say that it was a shipwreck and had a lot of treasures, he felt a little funny, but then he was a little funny. The vast sea was so vast that it was so difficult to find a shipwreck? Others don’t know that he had been drifting on the sea. It would be very difficult to find this ship with a picture that was simply inaccurate. And there is another reason. In recent decades, how many shipwrecks have been salvaged? Maybe the ship has been salvaged long ago?

Anyway, I am not short of money, so what I earn is enough, so there is no need to spend more effort. Besides, if you want to salvage a sunken ship, the manpower and material resources will be great. It is not just for him to do it alone. Moreover, the bottom limit of his diving is about 400 to 500 meters, and I can do nothing more than exceed this depth.

Of course, the modern salvage level is not comparable to that of previous eras. Deep submarines and salvage ships, but there are also troubles. For example, if the shipwreck is salvaged in this type, it is also state-owned property. Unlike other countries, as long as the shipwreck is salvaged overseas, its wealth belongs to private ownership.

It took a lot of effort, but it didn't belong to me. That's not very meaningful. From the current point of view, it's still a big problem to find this shipwreck that still exists. After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Xuan gave up.

Lao Wu put two pieces of paper, then found some mud glue to seal the hole of the pen holder, and sprayed the paint can a few times. Except for the slightly worse paint, he basically couldn't see anything abnormal.

Then Old Wu handed the two notes to Zhou Xuan and said, "Xiao Zhou, let's give this to you. This thing was bought by you privately. If you hold it, do you want to hunt treasures? You think about it yourself. This pen holder will be placed in the store. If you can sell it for you, it will be sold. It's too late, go back!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and took the paper and put it back on his body. Fortunately, the paper was always sealed in the bottom of the pen holder. If it was placed outside, it would probably be weathered for more than a hundred years.

Zhou Cangsong didn't go back, but he was still guarding the store, while Zhou Tao stayed in the stone factory and didn't come back. Zhou Ying still went home at night, and played a substitute with her second brother Zhou Tao during the day. Zhao Laoer was also in the factory. Zhang Jian was in charge of the antique shop, so Old Wu was not worried.

Zhang Jian drove Lao Wu home and then went back by himself. Zhou Xuan and Li Wei took Li Wei's car back to Hongcheng Garden.

Li Wei was still embarrassed to run to Zhou Xuan’s house to disturb him at night, and said with a smile: “Brother Xuan, I know you will discuss business with Xu Juncheng at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning. I will come here to pull you at 8:30. Anyway, I have nothing else to do. Just follow you and my grandfather to worry about me being fooled. Secondly, Xu Juncheng still trusts me quite a bit, and I say something that works. It’s still a bit of a benefit to go together!”

Zhou Xuan was considering that Li Wei no longer gave him the chance to refuse, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Xuan, I'm leaving, beg--"

When Zhou Xuan looked at him, he had already driven the car and ran far away.

Zhou Xuan shook his head with a wry smile and then went into the house. However, although he had a headache for Li Wei, he still liked this reckless guy very much. He had an unusual identity, but his personality was very straightforward, he did not bully others with power, and he was sympathetic. Zhou Xuan was quite willing to make friends with such people, just like Brother Hong, but Li Wei was far less scheming than Brother Hong.

Fu Ying, Jin Xiumei, her younger sister Zhou Ying, and Liu Sao were all watching TV and chatting in the living room. After Zhou Xuan came in, Zhou Ying first said angrily: "Brother, I don't know what you do, I don't have to worry about the store, and there is no other thing. Why are there no people all day long?"

Zhou Xuan patted her head with a smile, then sat beside Fu Ying and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Several people shook their heads immediately, and Jin Xiumei said first: "Women talk about something, what are you asking? Son, have you eaten?"

"have eaten!"

Zhou Xuan replied casually, "I'll go upstairs to take a shower first. I'll go to the stone factory to talk about things tomorrow, so I'll go to bed first. You guys can continue talking!"

When Zhou Xuan went up the stairs, Jin Xiumei blinked at Fu Ying and gently pushed her.

Fu Ying's face turned red, but she still stood up and followed her silently.

In Zhou Xuan's room, after Fu Ying followed in, Zhou Xuan was naturally embarrassed to close the door and take off his clothes. He smiled and asked, "Yingying, do you have something to tell me?"

Fu Ying hesitated shyly for a moment, opened her mouth but closed her mouth again.

Zhou Xuan said "Yeon" for a moment, "Yingying, I know you love me so much, come on!" As he said that, he stretched out his face, pointed to his left and right face, and said, "Come on, let you kiss these two sides enough!"

"Bah, it's so stinky!" Fu Ying blushed and annoyed, then finally asked: "Have you seen Xiaoqing?"

It turns out that I was still jealous!

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't know where Xiaoqing is. I haven't seen her. Have you seen her?"

Fu Ying immediately felt relieved. Although Zhou Xuan likes to laugh with her now, he will not lie to her. He has also called her. Zhou Xuan also went to the store. He was very busy when he heard that he was very busy, so he was afraid he would not have time to do anything else. Besides, Fu Ying also understood Zhou Xuan's feelings for her. He would not have a second heart, and Xiaoqing's identity was also unaffected.

Seeing that Fu Ying looked relaxed, Zhou Xuan said again: "If you don't kiss your face, forget it, just say a little!"

To be honest, Fu Ying still wanted to wait for Zhou Xuan to take the initiative in shame, but Zhou Ying seemed to scream loudly downstairs: "Sister-in-law!"

Fu Ying immediately ran out the door like a frightened bird.

Zhou Xuan shook his head with a wry smile. Such a shy wife annoyed her sister again. This girl is good to call her when she has time. Why do she call her sister-in-law at this time?

Even though he was annoyed, he closed the door, took a shower, lay on the bed, practiced a burst of ice, and then picked up the book to read it. These are two things that Zhou Xuan must do before going to bed every night.

Needless to say, the benefits of practicing ice qi are needed. Nowadays, almost everything is inseparable from ice qi, and it is almost easy to use, as if you use your hands and feet as you want. If you don’t use it, you will be uncomfortable.

It is still beneficial to read books such as antique knowledge. At least now, I can handle it by chatting and spanking with some insiders. Unlike before, when I said a word, I knew he was a rookie.

Because he set a time with Xu Juncheng, Zhou Xuan got up quite early in the morning, and because he went to bed early and was in good spirits, Mrs. Liu had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhou Xuan looked at the time. It was only 8 o'clock. Fu Ying took the fruit plate over and looked at him and said, "Can I go for a walk with you today? I've been at home for a long time!"

Zhou Xuan looked at the side and saw that there was no one around. Zhou Ying and her mother were helping to clean up in the restaurant. She reached out and pinched Fu Ying's face, and smiled and said, "Yingying, do you miss your husband?"

But it happened that my mother Jin Xiumei happened to walk into the hall and said with a smile: "Don't flirt with me in front of me, it's really good to come. Hurry up and add a fat grandson to our Zhou Xuan!"

Fu Ying ran out with a blushing face and covered her face. Zhou Xuan spread his hands and said, "Mom, look, you know Yingying is shy, run away!"

Jin Xiumei said indifferently: "Whatever you run? If you get used to it, you will have nothing to do. Women's families always want to get married and have children. Go quickly and say more sweet words to your wife. Mom will be looking for someone to watch your life these days!"

Zhou Xuan walked out with a smile and just do it. He thought, to be honest.

When he arrived outside the door, he saw Li Wei leaning against his jeep and staring at Fu Ying blankly. When he saw Zhou Xuan coming out, he asked, "Brother Xuan, this is..."

"It's my wife!" Zhou Xuan answered casually.
