An Rushuang was particularly curious about the mysterious profession of knife dealer. Although she had lost her memory, her curiosity remained undiminished.
"Uncle, if you don't bargain on the price of mung beans, won't you lose money to death?"
The old man laughed:
"Haha, a manly man, once you say what you say, it's hard to catch up! If the mung bean keeps falling, I'm willing to admit defeat!"
An Rushuang smiled slightly after hearing this:
"It seems that you admit that you are betting. In fact, lending money to others is not your profession. You are more like a gambler, but you will win most of the time."
The old man was stunned by An Rushuang's words. He didn't expect that the extremely beautiful girl in front of him was so smart and managed to figure out all his words in just a few words.
"Girl, are you married to someone now? To tell you the truth, I have a son who is about your age and has not yet married. I have nothing else. I have two houses in the county and a lot of savings..."
When Zuo Shisan heard this, he immediately became unhappy. Is this old man poaching in front of him and treating himself like nothing?
"Uncle, she is my wife." Zuo Shisan said to the old man.
After hearing this, the old man looked at Zuo Shisan, and after a long time he murmured:
"Alas, the pigs got rid of the good cabbage."
Zuo Shisan smiled slightly. He was too lazy to be like this old man, so he called An Rushuang and prepared to walk to Qingzhu Temple.
The two of them had just taken two steps when the old man with a credit card stopped Zuo Shisan:
"Young man, are you sure you don't want to lend me a kitchen knife on credit?"
Zuo Shisan looked back and said:
"I have a kitchen knife at home."
"How can the kitchen knife at home be compared to the kitchen knife in my hand? Not only can it help you luck, but it can also take away the bad luck from you." The old man with a credit knife shouted to Zuo Shisan.
"How about... let's try one?" An Rushuang stared at Zuo Shisan with a pair of dark eyes and asked.
"Okay, let's get a kitchen knife on credit." Zuo Shisan said, turned back to the old man, told the old man his address, turned around and left with the kitchen knife.
Returning to Qingzhu Temple with An Rushuang, Peng Changsheng was chatting with Fatty in the main hall.
When Peng Changsheng saw Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang coming back, he quickly stood up and walked out of the hall:
"Thirteen, are everything done?"
Thirteen from the left nodded:
"Captain Peng, I'm going to get you that gilt bronze bell with inscriptions right now."
As Zuo Shisan said, he came to An Rushuang's room and took out the gilt-inscribed bronze bell from the Eastern Jin Dynasty from under the bed.
Returning to the main hall again, Peng Changsheng carefully took the gilt-inscribed bronze bell from Zuo Shisan's hand. He placed it on the wooden table and took out a magnifying glass from his backpack to look at it carefully.
After looking at it for a long time, Peng Changsheng put away the magnifying glass, took out the notebook he carried with him, and calculated something in the notebook...
Zuo Shisan and Fatty were watching from the side and did not want to be disturbed. An Rushuang was sitting alone in the courtyard basking in the sun.
About ten minutes later, Peng Changsheng slammed the table hard and said loudly to Zuo Shisan and Fatty:
"I deciphered it. The inscription on this bronze bell records a place!"
"Where?" Zuo Shisan asked quickly after hearing this.
Peng Changsheng put the notebook in his hand on the table and said:
"The inscription records: "A hundred miles away is the East China Sea, and the three thousand East Seas are precious islands, where birds and beasts, strange flowers and fruits, mountains and seas have treasures, auspicious clouds and auspicious energy, and the harmony of the two immortals can cure all diseases.
"This is the vernacular that I translated."
The fat man heard this and said:
"It means there is an island in the East China Sea. There are all kinds of rare and exotic animals on the island, there are auspicious clouds and treasures, and there are even two gods who can cure all diseases?"
Peng Changsheng nodded:
"The inscription on the bronze bell indeed says so."
Zuo Shisan was a little suspicious after hearing this:
"Where can there be such an island in the East China Sea? I'm afraid it's a place imagined by ancient people, right?"
Peng Changsheng shook his head, looked at Zuo Shisan and said affirmatively:
"It's definitely not a fantasy. There are specific directions engraved on it, and this. You see, these two inscriptions that look like "mountains" are actually a mark. The island should be located on the two high mountains in the East China Sea.
in the middle."
After Zuo Shisan heard this, he quickly said:
"If you want to know the authenticity of the records on this bronze bell, just check it carefully with the satellite map. If there is really an island in the middle of the two mountains on the map, then it proves that these records are true. If not, then it is the ancients.
A imaginary place."
The fat man also clapped his hands and said:
"That's right. I'm going to get my laptop phone now. Let's take a look at the satellite map and all the results will come out."
The fat man returned to the room and got his laptop. At this time, An Rushuang also walked in from the yard, turned on the computer, and the few of us found the location of the East China Sea on the satellite map, then kept placing it and started a carpet-like process.
Look for the location recorded on the bronze bell.
Half an hour later, when we were about to finish searching the entire East China Sea, Peng Changsheng suddenly pointed to a location and said to the fat man:
"Fat man, please zoom in on this position."
The fat man quickly zoomed in on the satellite map, and soon three black spots appeared in our sights.
"Zoom in again!" Peng Changsheng stared at the computer screen and said to the fat man.
"I put it to the maximum," the fat man said.
Peng Changsheng had no choice but to get closer to the computer screen and observe carefully.
I stared at the computer screen. These three black spots were about the same size. They were small islands in the East China Sea. Because their actual area was so small, it was impossible to tell whether there were mountains on them on the satellite map.
I tried to take two steps back and looked from a distance, and suddenly I found that the two black spots in front could be vaguely bulged, as if they were two high mountains.
This discovery overturned my understanding. I thought that everything recorded on the gilt-inscribed bronze bell was fiction. How could anyone go to sea so far during the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
But the facts are right in front of me, and I have to believe them.
At this time, Peng Changsheng also noticed it and quickly pointed at the computer screen and said to Fatty and me:
"Look, the two black spots in the front are obviously darker than the ones in the back, and they are slightly bulging. They should be here!"
The fat man said:
"The satellite map taken at that time was too blurry and I couldn't see it clearly at all."
Peng Changsheng ignored the fat man's words, but turned his head and looked at me and asked:
"Thirteen, what are your plans?"
I looked at Peng Changsheng's excited and scorching eyes, and I had already guessed what he was thinking:
"Captain Peng, are you planning to go out to sea to find the island recorded in this inscription?"
