In the operation room, Jenny, the old man Hua Jing, the female chef are all here, and there is even his grandson Jiao Ba.
When Jenny saw me coming, she still asked with her usual smile, "Is something okay?"
I said casually, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask. Why do we have to work in the evening?"
"You don't have to worry about this, you just have to do your job." Her tone was a bit cold, but I still felt uncomfortable looking at it. .
I sneered and said, "Haha, what do you want to do? Not only did you miss so many fish schools before, but you still have to work in the evening. Please give me a reasonable explanation." I became more and more aware. I feel that these people don't look like fishermen. I can't work for you unless you ask clearly.
Jenny walked up to me and said in a stiff tone, "I don't need to explain anything to you. I'm the boss. You just do whatever I ask you to do."
Damn, you are such a boss, Could it be that if you ask me to die, will I still die? I immediately said with a serious face, "So what if you are the boss? What is there to gain? If you don't make it clear today, I will stop spying on you."
"You..." Jenny's face turned red with anger at my words. Shunzi pulled me aside and said, "Brother, calm down, don't be angry."
I ignored him and continued. Staring at Jenny, she relaxed and said, "Jin Zhongyi, don't forget, you have already signed this contract, and your name is written in black and white."
I replied disdainfully, "I Damn it, you're trying to scare me with the contract. If I say I won't do it, I won't do it. It won't work for anyone. "Little girl, don't think that you can fool me just because you are beautiful.
Jenny glanced at me and said mockingly, "Okay, if you don't want to do it, you can leave now, no one will keep you."
I also imitated her smile and said, "Okay. , you put down the lifeboat for me, Shunzi and I will Let’s go now.”
I have discovered a long time ago that there are two small lifeboats here. Even though they are far away from the land now, with the endurance of Shunzi and I, we can row back. At worst, I'll just collapse from exhaustion.
"Hey, you two, stop arguing, Jenny. Why don't you just tell him about the situation? There's no need to hide this matter." The old man with the flower mirror saw that we were arguing so much that he hurriedly Came out to smooth things over.
"Yes Jenny, my sworn brother is not an outsider, he has to tell me sooner or later." Jiao Ba also persuaded me from the side. I turned around and glared at him. This grandson must know the inside story, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this. Said, as soon as Jiao Ba saw my look, he quickly turned his head to the side and did not dare to look at me.
I'll wipe it out for you, uncle. I'll settle the score with you later. Jenny looked at the old man, then looked at me and said, "Well, let me tell you, our trip to the ocean this time is not about fishing."
Look, I guessed it By the way, I already know whose family it is There were no fishermen, so I asked, "Why did you come to me if you don't want to fish?"
The old man with fancy glasses pushed up his glasses and said, "Haha, I came to you to salvage the sunken ship." .”
What? Salvaging a sunken ship? Shunzi and I were both stunned, especially Shunzi, who looked like a fool. He probably didn't understand what it meant. I can't believe what I heard. Are you out of your mind? They also salvaged sunken ships. What if you watch too many movies?
"Mr. Mai is telling the truth. We went to sea this time to salvage the sunken ship of the Ming Dynasty." It turned out that the old ghost was called Mr. Mai, and Jenny spoke in a serious tone, without any joking.
"Damn it, you're not sick. In this case, even if what you say is true, where can you find a sunken ship in this vast sea? It's still a sunken ship tomorrow. It's just a joke, a bunch of lunatics." If they are telling the truth, Then they must be crazy about money, show off.
Jiao Ba suddenly interrupted and said, "Don't worry, brother Yi, we have a navigation chart and can find the general location of the sunken ship."
"Navigation chart? What navigation chart? "I gave Jenny a questioning look.
She turned around and walked over, then pulled over a suitcase, opened it, took out something from it and handed it to me and said, "This is an aerial drawing."
I glanced at her, Take it slowly, then slowly open it, Then my eyes lit up. My uncle's is really a nautical chart. It is a very old nautical chart. It should be made of sheepskin. I looked carefully at the routes on the nautical chart. They are all drawn by hand. Although the sign of the reef and island is a bit blurry.
However, it can still be seen that two of them are red marks, which are relatively obvious, but the route before and after seems to be a little farther, and there is no distance scale on it. Analyzing from the appearance of the nautical chart and the drawing inside, this chart at least has It's a hundred years old, very old and antique, but it doesn't seem to be complete, because the edges of the nautical chart are a bit incomplete, and it seems to be just a part.
I held the nautical chart in my hand and said to myself, "This nautical chart is hand-drawn. It looks like it is a hundred years old."
Mr. Mai said with a smile. , "Young man, are you good at reading? This nautical chart is from the Zheng He period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of several hundred years."
It is from the Zheng He period of the Ming Dynasty? Interesting. "That's really a long history, but where did this thing come from?" I looked at Jenny and asked.
Jenny sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you everything. This navigation chart has been passed down from my ancestors and is a family heirloom."
I asked doubtfully, "Ancestor? Then who is your ancestor?"
"You really have a lot of questions. To tell you the truth, my ancestor is Zheng He." Jenny said seriously.
"Stop joking, sister, Zheng He's surname is Zheng, your surname is Ma, which kind of ancestor are these? Besides, wasn't Zheng He a eunuch? How could he have descendants?" Shunzi's face was full of doubt. , said something very cool next to him.
I glanced at Shunzi and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Zheng He was originally named Ma, and later the emperor Zhu Di changed his surname to him. Also, even if Zheng He is a eunuch , but the children adopted by him also belong to His descendants."
"You know quite a lot? It is true. In fact, the descendants of Zheng He were originally named Zheng. It was not until the Republic of China that they changed their surname back to Ma, which can be regarded as acknowledging their ancestors. Come on," Jenny said with a smile.
I asked doubtfully, "So this nautical chart is probably not the Zheng He's nautical chart that has been preserved to this day?" I have seen pirated Zheng He's nautical chart, and this chart is completely different.
"That's natural. It's a family inheritance. How can it be left to outsiders? If you can see it, you're lucky." Jenny said proudly.
This is really an interesting trip, and it can actually be related to Zheng He's descendants. "If what you said is true, I think some of them must not be fishermen anymore?" "
"Of course not, let me reintroduce it to you..."
After listening to Jenny's introduction, I You know, the old man named Mr. Mai is not actually an old man. He is only in his forties, but his hair is too white. His glasses must not be fancy glasses. He is a marine biologist and an expert in navigation. He is also an expert in salvaging sunken ships. He is mainly responsible for using nautical charts to find sunken ships and organizing sailors to work underwater.
The so-called female chef is Jenny's personal bodyguard, a black belt in Taekwondo, and is proficient in Sanda and Muay Thai, as well as medical and cooking skills. She seems to be a master, at least in the eyes of others. This time she goes to sea, she is The person responsible for protecting Jenny's safety was mainly afraid that some sailors would become interested, so he brought her along. Actually, it's right when you think about it. Jenny is so beautiful, an upright person like me would be tempted, let alone others.
Jenny herself is a graduate student at Peking University, majoring in history. Her father is the boss of a listed company, and her mother is an American. She is a typical Chinese-American mixed race. As for the helmsman and the maintenance worker, then It's all true.
When she talked about Jiao Ba, I immediately said, "Okay, you don't need to introduce this person. I know him very well. His family is a family of tomb robbers, typical tomb robbers. I think The reason why you use him is because you want him to help you identify the things you salvaged, right?”
Zhen? Ni raised her eyebrows and said, "Well, that's right. You are quite smart. I have said everything I should say now. Do you have anything else to ask?"
I pretended to cough and said, " Ahem, um... I still have a very personal question to ask, which is also the last question.”
"What's the problem?"
I said a little embarrassed, "Do you have a boyfriend?" While speaking, I was still staring at her closely, and as soon as I said this, there were people next to me. The few people there all looked at me with embarrassed expressions. Damn it, what the hell.
She may have been shocked by me, so she quickly avoided my gaze and said, "I won't answer this question for you."
It's really boring for me to curl my lips at you, and I have no sense of humor at all. , but I like, beauties, they all have more personality.
"I have said everything that needs to be said now. You can decide whether to stay or go." She said seriously, without any expression on her face.
I said with a smile, "Since you told the truth, I have no reason to leave. The two of us will stay, waiting for instructions at any time, ready to start work."
"Very good, I hope we can have a happy cooperation." There was a slight change on Jenny's face, as if she was snickering. Little girl, you want to deceive me. It seems that you are interested in me. Sorry, I'm a little shameless.
At this time, I walked up behind Jiao Ba, strangled him and said, "You can do it, you pretended to be stupid and you actually tricked me into getting on the boat."
Jiao Ba said with an ugly face, "No, Brother Yi, "Listen to my explanation"
"Don't come here with me and explain, explain that your sister knows everything but doesn't tell me. I'll settle the score with you later." After saying that, he greeted Shunzi and left the operating room. Jiao Ba, this grandson, if I hadn't seen him having a fight with my friend, I would really want to bore him. I hate people lying to me the most. When I get back, I have to kill him a few times.
