"Hey, Lao Li, do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Wang Fei blinked and said to Li Tianbao.
Li Tianbao turned around and smiled, saying: "It's 100% a woman!"
Wang Fei obeyed and asked strangely: "Why are you so sure?"
"Just guessing." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he and Wang Fei continued to watch the subsequent developments.
Sure enough, it was a woman, but Zheng Xuemin did not mention this person's name, which made Li Tianbao a little disappointed. It turned out that when Zheng Xuemin was dying, when he saw the woman in front of him, he thought he was hallucinating, but the woman removed her.
When he was rescued in his boat, he realized that it was not an illusion.
Later, he learned that the girl was a local fisherman who was accidentally blown to the island by the wind and waves, and then the woman took Zheng Xuemin back to her home.
Seeing this, Li Tianbao smiled and said to Wang Fei: "How about it, I guessed it right."
"Stop talking, let's see if there is any poignant love story." Wang Fei said enthusiastically.
Li Tianbao continued to turn the pages, but nothing about that woman appeared in Zheng Xuemin's diary. This surprised Li Tianbao and Wang Fei. In any case, that woman should not disappear from the diary.
of.
Just when Li Tianbao was a little puzzled, he found a fragment about the golden key in Zheng Xuemin's diary. This made him put his mind at ease about the woman for the time being and read it attentively.
It turned out that Zheng Xuemin had been keeping another golden key of Zheng Yu, and that golden key was one of the ones that opened the skull of the Beijinger. Li Tianbao was confused about this, because he did not stop Li Han talking about it at the time.
get through this.
"Li Han didn't say that there were two golden keys at that time. It seems that the old boy kept a secret from us!" After a while of emotion, Li Tianbao didn't think too much and continued to look at the diary on the table.
After returning to the mainland, during the era when New China was founded, Zheng Xuemin could only hide in Tibet to hide his identity. But to be on the safe side, Zheng Xuemin came to Xinjiang, perhaps because he fell in love with the Emperor Tiangao here.
The farther away you are, the better you can hide yourself.
Little by little, Zheng Xuemin had his own identity, and he also used the gold and silver jewelry obtained from Awa Maru Island to establish his own business on the frontier. At this time, Li Tianbao and Wang Fei only knew
Zheng Xuemin's identity, but the two most important things have not yet appeared. This makes Li Tianbao a little anxious.
"Damn it, why are you just talking nonsense and not mentioning the skull and half of the ancient picture?" Li Tianbao cursed.
Wang Fei saw this and quickly comforted him: "Lao Li, don't worry, the old man only left half of the picture after his death. Judging from his miserable appearance, something must have happened, and he will definitely record it."
After hearing this, Li Tianbao felt that what Wang Fei said was quite reasonable, and he randomly started reading.
Sure enough, that half of the picture began to appear in Zheng Xuemin's diary. But it was already a long time ago. Although Zheng Xuemin's resentment can be seen in his notes, the recorded words are also very vague.
Zheng Xuemin later met a Tibetan woman in Xinjiang, and Zheng Xuemin also had great affection for this woman, but the woman's sudden departure made him unable to accept it for a while.
Then, Zheng Xuemin's career in the frontier began to decline sharply, and then he brought two orphans from Xinjiang to Tibet. Obviously, the two orphans were Zheng Long's brother and sister, and Li Tianbao was also regretting why Zheng Xuemin brought them
Both of them.
The following text records revealed the answer to Li Tianbao. It turned out that Zheng Xuemin brought a suitcase from Awa Maru, and the suitcase contained the skull.
"Haha, it finally appeared. Zheng Xuemin brought that thing out as expected." Li Tianbao said happily. But then, Li Tianbao fell into deep thought.
"That's wrong!" Li Tianbao seemed to have thought of something.
When Wang Fei saw this, he quickly asked: "Old Li, what's wrong?"
"Zheng Xuemin said that he brought out the suitcase containing the skull from the island. In other words, it must be the suitcase on his tomb. But at that time he only had a key. How did he open the suitcase?
Box." It turned out that Li Tianbao was confused about this matter.
Wang Fei obeyed, laughed, and said: "Old Li, you underestimate today's science and technology. In the decades since Awa Maru, science and technology have developed rapidly. With Zheng Xuemin's subsequent financial resources, he wants to open that
The box is not a piece of cake."
"It makes sense, it should be like this." Li Tianbao finally got a reasonable explanation.
After reading further, Li Tianbao understood why Zheng Xuemin brought out the two orphans Zheng Long. Because Zheng Xuemin had this brief statement at the end. "I, Zheng Xuemin, have been a slave all my life. I have followed Duke Zheng for many years, and I have followed Duke Zheng's instructions.
, but I also know that I have made countless mistakes, so that the two most important women left me one after another. And I only have one of the two most important things left in my hands. My lifelong wish is just to unlock the secret of the ancient map.
It's a mystery, but I know that the time is up, but I can only bring out a few children, hoping that they can help me fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"That's all?" Li Tianbao turned to the last page, but didn't mention anything after that.
"Damn it, why didn't you say anything?" Li Tianbao couldn't help but cursed. He originally thought he could get any precise clues through the diary, but the clues for the two things were still zero, which made Li Tianbao confused for a moment.
Unacceptable.
"Woman? This is the clue." Li Tianbao calmed down and said this.
"That woman?" Wang Fei asked.
Li Tianbao thought for a while and said, "Have you ever discovered why Zheng Xuemin didn't mention the woman who rescued him from the island?"
"You mean the skull might be on that woman's body?" Wang Fei said.
"Yes, since Zheng Xuemin did not record returning to Awa Marunoshima for the second time after going to sea, it means that he took the things out the first time, and he most likely gave the things to himself.
The savior, or letting the other party keep it or something."
"Lao Li, are you sick? You have a fever. How could he give such an important thing to others?" Wang Fei asked puzzledly.
Li Tianbao obeyed and said loudly: "We can't understand his plan now. In that era, it was absolutely impossible for him to hide with a Beijing skull. And that woman had a life-saving grace with him. The reason why he
It’s not mentioned here, it should also be to protect her safety.”
"Hey, Lao Li, what you think makes sense. However, we never had the opportunity to meet that woman." Wang Fei said regretfully.
Li Tianbao showed a smile at this time and said: "Don't forget, there is another woman?"
"Are you talking about that Tibetan woman?" Wang Fei said.
Li Tianbao smiled, and then said: "Don't you think we have met that woman before?"
"I've seen it, Lao Li. Are you possessed by a ghost?" Wang Fei asked doubtfully.
Li Tianbao waved his hand to signal Wang Fei to be more serious, and then said: "There are only a few people who know about this incident. If you think about it carefully, besides us, Li Han and his daughter, there is also the dead Zheng Long
.Only the woman who saved Zheng Xuemin and a Tibetan woman are left."
Wang Fei couldn't help but convulsed when he heard this. He said, "Are you talking about that old Tibetan woman - Dolma?"
Li Tianbao smiled and said: "Yes, it must be her! Other than that, there is no explanation at all as to why Zhuoma wanted to get the secret of the ceremony. Zheng Xuemin must have told her the whole thing back then."
After hearing this, Wang Fei said happily: "That must be the case, then should we go to Zhuoma to find out."
"No. There is something wrong with Zhuoma, too." Li Tianbao suddenly said with a solemn expression.
"Something's wrong, what's wrong?" Wang Fei said.
Li Tianbao thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember that Tianhuang stone seal?"
"Remember, that thing is exactly the same as a mark in this ancient picture. It is obviously a very important thing." Wang Fei said.
"Then why did Zhuoma give us the seal?" Li Tianbao's question immediately made Wang Fei puzzled. After thinking for a long time, Wang Fei couldn't think of a reason.
Wang Fei really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Li Tianbao: "Old Li, why do you think it is?"
Li Tianbao smiled strangely and said, "I don't understand this either, but there is another person who may be able to give us the answer we want."
"Who?" Wang Fei said immediately.
Li Tianbao answered even faster, saying: "Cui Yun"
"Cui Yun?" Wang Fei was a little too nervous at that moment, which made Li Tianbao stop thinking for a moment, and then said: "I said, there are only a few people who know the whole Awa Maru incident.
But why would Cui Yun know this? You need to think about this carefully, right?"
Li Tianbao's rhetorical question made Wang Fei hesitate for a moment, and then said: "That's right! You should think about it carefully."
Li Tianbao obeyed and said: "Cui Yun is not part of any group of people we know. He is very independent. Precisely because of this, I judge that she must have a deep relationship with the woman who saved Zheng Xuemin."
Wang Fei was obedient and had to admire him: "Old Li, I think you are almost an adult. Your analysis is very reasonable. There is no reason to refute you at all."
Li Tianbao smiled and said, "Thanks to your reminder just now, telling me not to be impatient, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this."
Wang Fei thought for a while and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"Go back to Cui Yun and try to figure out the whole thing, and more importantly, get the secret of the ceremony." Li Tianbao said confidently.
Wang Fei said calmly: "Okay, I listen to you, we will set off tomorrow."
After Wang Fei finished speaking, Li Tianbao was about to go back to his room to sleep, but Wang Fei stopped him and said: "Old Li, don't go back. Miyazaki Shimi is pregnant. You are so strong at this age."
If you are still young, you might as well spend one night at my place."
Li Tianbao was obedient and said, "Do you want to drink?"
Hey! Wang Fei smiled and said: "Old Li, you better understand me." After saying that, Wang Fei took out a few bottles of good wine that he had prepared in advance, and he and Li Tianbao started drinking. The wine this time was a bit strange.
, Li Tianbao, who was already drinking a lot, lost consciousness. It was not until the next day that the groggy Li Tianbao opened his eyes, only to find that he was in a room that he did not recognize at all.
"What kind of place is this? How did I end up here?" (To be continued...)
