Just when I was about to leave, Jenny grabbed me and asked, "Wait, I have one more thing to ask you?"
"What's going on?" Judging from her expression, it shouldn't be a good thing.
"Zhongyi, have you ever doubted Li Xin?" Jenny looked into my eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Li Xin? Why do you ask that?" I was somewhat partial to Li Xin, so I didn't want to answer her question.
"I remember... when you two first met, you were almost incompatible and almost started fighting. But I didn't expect that now, the contrast is so big. You are just like a good couple, and you are already enviable." Jenny
He said in a lukewarm tone, with the kind of voice and eyes that made people very annoying.
"Don't talk nonsense. Li Xin and I have nothing to do with each other. Also, why are you pretending to be pitiful? Aren't you and Martin more enviable? You are the real couple." This time I responded to her, saving her time.
He speaks so harshly.
"Martin and I don't understand at all. Okay, I won't ask you this anymore. I'll just ask you, have you ever doubted Li Xin?" Jenny asked again.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you, go back quickly." I avoided the question and hurriedly walked into the cabin.
When Jenny saw my attitude, she had no choice but to give up. The two of us went back to the restaurant. Others were chattering and arguing. I don’t know what they were arguing about anymore. They only shut up after seeing the two of us coming back.
Mouth.
I walked back and sat down and said, "Jenny agreed to stay and won't leave. Everyone can work peacefully."
"Oh, hey, is that right? This is a good thing. I mean Zhongyi, you guys have some tricks up their sleeves? You actually managed to even out Jenny. Okay, what tricks did you use?" Mantou asked with raised eyebrows.
, and even gave me a look.
I smiled helplessly and said, "Why are you the only one who talks so much? Does the beauty trick I used work?" I also made a joke casually.
Steamed Bun opened his eyes wide and nodded, "Yeah, it looks like it to me. Otherwise, with Jenny's character, how could she stay just as she said?"
"Hey, listening to your tone, you really want me to leave, right?" Jenny was unhappy immediately, and she couldn't hold back and spoke.
Steamed Bun quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that. Of course I'm happy if you can stay. I also want to find the treasure."
"You bastard, stop talking nonsense. Jenny, I'm very happy that you can stay for all of us. Is this our captain?" The big man flattered him at the right time. This kid finally learned the lesson.
Be smarter.
"I have to thank Zhongyi for this. It seems that Zhongyi is the one who comes into play, don't you think?" Chang Shan also made a joke. Although it was a joke, there seemed to be something else behind the words.
"That's right, who is the sworn brother? Jenny can also listen to his words. Is he Captain Martin?" Jiao Ba looked at Martin with a bit of ridicule. The meaning was very simple. You are still Jenny's boyfriend. Please beg her like this.
, no one gave you face, and in the end, you let others settle the matter.
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as mute." Martin stared at Jiao Ba and said with a cold snort.
"Okay, let's just say I'm talking too much." Jiao Ba stopped talking and stopped arguing with him.
Jenny glanced at me intentionally. I clasped my hands behind my back and signaled her not to speak, "Okay, you all, stop guessing. Jenny can stay because she figured it out on her own. It has nothing to do with me. I just keep us
Tell her about the hard work these days. We are friends and companions. We must have principles in life and we cannot abandon friends casually. Furthermore, I ask Jenny that if she wants to go back now, she must settle our wages immediately. This
At least, she can't do it now."
I turned to look at her, hoping that she would understand my intention. This is the most reasonable thing to say. No matter how much I talk about feelings, I can't catch up with this last sentence. This is the big truth. We are the crew members working for her.
What if the boss leaves and doesn't give us our wages? Who will we find at that time?
"Yes, I can't pay you now, so... I can only stay, and... I have also thought about it. Since everyone wants to unlock the secret of this navigation chart, then I will
You should follow everyone's pace, after all, I am your captain, and as a leader, I can't run away first." Jenny said half-seriously, with an apologetic smile always on her face.
Shunzi said, "Jenny's consciousness is still very high?"
"That's right, but Zhongyi really expressed our feelings. If you want to leave, you really have to pay us the bill. Otherwise, if you leave now, where will we get our wages? Although everyone is here all the way.
We live and die together, but..." When Mantou said this, he smiled awkwardly, it turned out that he was also embarrassed sometimes.
"Don't worry, I said I won't leave, so you don't have to worry about wages anymore. When we find the treasure, we will share it together." Jenny said with a smile.
"Is this right? Let's all get rich together." The big man laughed, still so honest.
"Okay, now that Jenny's situation is stable, it's time to talk about other things, Jiao Ba." Mr. Mai interrupted in time and turned to look at Jiao Ba.
Jiao Ba said calmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised, but...is it appropriate now?" He glanced at Martin, Shao Shao and others. Although they were in a cooperative relationship, before Bingcheng,
We have nothing to do with each other.
Before Mr. Mai could speak, Martin spoke first, "I have the right to know this matter. Since we still want to cooperate, we must trust each other."
Jiao Ba ignored his words, but looked at Mai Lao. Mai Lao nodded, "Just tell me, it's okay."
"Okay, as long as you agree, let's get started. I will show you what I found before, but... I have a small request." Jiao Ba started to bargain again.
"What's the request?" Mai Lao asked.
"I can take out the things, but they must be kept by me, otherwise... this matter will be dropped." Jiao Ba said simply.
"Hey Jiao Ba, how can you do this? You can't go back on your word?" said the steamed bun with a big grin.
Jiao Ba said disapprovingly, "I call it a villain first, a gentleman later. Let's explain the matter clearly before proceeding. Don't let everyone get along with each other because of this matter again. That would not be good."
"Mr. Jiao Ba, what you did is obviously not sincere?" Martin said softly while smoking a cigarette.
Jiao Ba sneered, "This has nothing to do with sincerity. Some things are better explained clearly."
"Okay, I'll do as you say and take it out." Mai Lao made the final decision and stretched out his hand to signal.
Jiao Ba took out a small package with him, which was wrapped in cloth. When the package was opened, there were two and a half jade pendants inside, as well as a golden key and a golden ball. This was what Jiao Ba and I found.
Now he has taken out all the three things. It seems that he really intends to tell everything.
"Damn, these things are pretty good? Laoba, where did you get them?" Shunzi asked with his eyes widened, and at the same time he looked at me. He must be doubting me.
, after all, Jiao Ba and I are very close.
However, I did not avoid Shunzi's gaze, but pretended to be unclear. If I avoided him immediately, it would prove that I was guilty, and it would also prove that this matter had something to do with me.
Next, I had no choice but to lie.
"I found them in those two sunken ships. It took me a lot of effort." Jiao Ba sighed and looked very tired, but he was telling the truth. These things,
But it almost cost us both our lives. It was really not easy.
"Wait a minute, you mean you found it in a sunken ship?" Martin interrupted Jiao Ba and asked with a surprised look on his face.
Jiao Ba answered him disapprovingly, "Yes, I found it in the sunken ship, what? I'm surprised? Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot that you have never seen that ancient sunken ship, but you don't have to worry,
You will have the opportunity to meet him soon." His tone of voice was very calm when he said this, but it always sounded sarcastic, and his words were really mean.
Martin's face turned ugly, as if he wanted to burst out, but couldn't. After holding it in for a few seconds, he turned to Jenny and asked, "Jenny, didn't you tell me that you didn't find the sunken ship before?"
Is it just a small island? Then how should you explain to me what Mr. Jiao Ba said?" He was angry at first sight. He was originally a white man, but now his face was still red, which made people look at him.
It's very awkward to wear.
"Martin, please listen to my explanation. I hid it from you at first, but that was for everyone's sake. I couldn't... tell you everything from the beginning, right? Even if I wanted to say it, others wouldn't agree.
, We are a collective, I hope you can understand." Jenny did not say that she forgot to tell him like others, but told him her true thoughts.
Martin nodded, "Am I so unworthy of your trust? But you did the right thing. People are changing. We haven't seen each other in the past few years. Who can guarantee that I will still be the same person?"
"It's good if you understand." Jenny said with a smile.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that they seem to be a little far apart again. They are not as clingy as before. Both their words and their eyes are much stranger. What on earth are these two people doing again? It seems that they are not at odds anymore, indeed.
It's that kind of unfamiliar. Could it be that the previous love and affection were all fake? I'm a little confused.
Chang Shan then stretched out his hand and said, "Jiao Ba, can you show it to me?"
Jiao Ba casually pushed the package to the front, "Everyone can take a look at it. If anyone has any ideas, you can tell them right away."
These things were quickly scattered by them. In order to pretend to be more realistic, I deliberately said, "These treasures are really good. They look very valuable. Now we can give them away."
"Aren't you Zhongyi? You can make a fortune with these few things? Are you kidding me? You have never seen anything valuable before. Isn't this just a jade pendant? It's made of two and a half pieces. Even if it's an antique, it's probably nothing.
It's too valuable, it's not worth a few bucks, but if it's intact, you might be able to sell it for two bucks." Mantou said, pretending to be very knowledgeable.
