Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Originally, everyone had made arrangements to go abroad soon. Are they allowed to take risks and go abroad now? Ideological work is impossible. Although the bone mirror of King Qin is precious, we must respect life at the same time as we respect history. What's more? The valuable antiques are not as valuable as human life, and the Yinhuo Dragon Lantern is lurking unpredictably, so it is not that easy to find.

Thinking of this, I looked at the rest of the people. Although Shirley Yang didn't nod, she seemed to have agreed. With her willful character, she would agree to this matter without waiting for my nod. But I found that the fat man and the big man Jin Ya is also looking at me secretly. They obviously want to wait for me to make the final decision. And judging from their expressions, they are not interested in this matter at all. After all, they don't owe Professor Chen. Besides, even if they fish out the bones of King Qin Mirror, it will not be of any benefit to us. I have been a soldier for so many years, and I know one thing very well. Our army has always focused on ideological work first when fighting. If there is no morale, the battle will not be fought well. I temporarily I couldn't think of any reason for them to take the risk with me, so I insisted on not agreeing to Professor Chen on the spot, saying that I would go back and think about it for a few days. After all, this matter was not a trivial matter and I couldn't just go.

When we went back, there were snowflakes in the sky. Fatty and I didn't take Shirley Yang's car. The three of us walked on the snow under the street lights and chatted. When we talked about the matter that Professor Chen asked us to do, Da Jinya said : "I say to you two gentlemen, we must not respond to this matter. This muddy water cannot flow. We can just fish out King Qin's bone mirror and return it. If we can't fish it out or there is something wrong, Mr. Chen can't." You're risking your life with us. Besides, I also lived by the sea when I was a child. Things in the sea are no joke. What's more, what kind of evil fire is there? Where can he find it in the vast sea with no edges? Mr. Hu is still sober-minded. Under Miss Yang’s aggressive gaze, he calmly insisted on his principles and did not agree to Mr. Chen..."

The fat man also said: "Commander Hu, I thought I had to agree because of your past temper. I just worried about you for a long time in vain. I was so anxious that my soles were sweating. But you are really not a simple boy. You actually You shamelessly insist on Qingshan and don't let go. I used to really think of you as a selfless person who forgets his own interests. You are not selfish at all after making such a fuss for a long time."

I said: "You two, stop talking nonsense. What is selflessness? Do you still need me to teach you after all these years? Half of the word "public" is exactly half of the word "private", so public and private have always been the same thing, and private is There is public, and there is also private within public. To say that public and private are distinct and selfless is nonsense. No matter what the guise of being public is, at least half of it is out of selfishness. This shows that the ancestors who coined the word are really insightful. , Otherwise, how could the word "public" be made like this? I know the nature of human nature so well that the words "public and private" are so made that they touch the soul. But having said that, the reason why I didn't agree immediately at Professor Chen's house was because I was really selfish. Now, I can’t just talk about it and go too far. We are about to go to the United States to embrace the five continents and look at the whole world. This is a top priority. Even after we make a fortune in the United States and realize the American dream, we will It’s not too late to help him get the King of Qin’s bone mirror, right?”

Although I said this, I also knew very well in my heart that Professor Chen is a person who accepts death and will not be able to change his mind. And if I refuse to help this time, Shirley Yang alone will not be able to stop me. I can't pass it, but even if I want to help, I don't have the slightest confidence or confidence in this task of finding a needle in a haystack. Even if I go there, it's in vain. I can't do anything that I'm not even 30% sure about. This thing is really It's nerve-wracking enough.

As soon as we got home, we found someone waiting for us at the door of the courtyard. It turned out to be none other than Uncle Ming, a bankrupt Hong Kong businessman. I had not known his whereabouts for a while. I thought he was either going to the United States to pan for gold or He went back to Hong Kong to make money, but he didn't expect that he would still stay in Beijing.

Uncle Ming explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that he had called yesterday to invite a few of us to dinner, but after waiting for a long time and no one was seen, he had to pay a visit, saying that he wanted to discuss doing business together after going to the United States.

The fat man immediately smiled when he saw Uncle Ming, stretched out his arms to hold him and asked, "The old monkey boy is looking good now. Has he come back to his old self? He hasn't suffered from split personality recently, has he?"

Uncle Ming hurriedly said: "Fat boy, please stop joking, okay? I made a reservation in the restaurant to treat you, but you refused to show your favor and made me wait for half the night. Your uncle, I have something serious to discuss with you..." "

The fat man wanted to send Uncle Ming away, but I suddenly remembered that Uncle Ming has been running boats in Nanyang all year round. Why don't I ask him about maritime affairs to see if he knows some useful information for us, so I stopped the fat man and let Uncle Ming into the house. Come, see that he hasn’t eaten yet, so he asks Da Jinya to find a way to get him something to eat.

After entering the house and sitting down, I asked Uncle Ming directly about things at sea without talking in circles. As expected, Uncle Ming answered fluently: "Your uncle, I have been sailing for most of my life. Things at sea are very clear. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask." When the pirates and merchants in Nanyang mention Lei Xianming, they all give thumbs up and praise him. Your uncle and I, old sailors, can be said to know the trade winds, the nature of water, and the topography of the seabed... "

I was impatient to listen to his boasting, so before he finished, I asked him if he knew there was a yin fire in the Coral Spiral Sea? After hearing this, Uncle Ming's arrogant look disappeared. The muscles on his face seemed to suddenly stiffen, and his eyesight went blank for a while. At that moment, he seemed to recall the time when he was running a boat in the Coral Sea. Had a very horrific experience.

I saw that Uncle Ming had a strange look on his face, and after observing his words, I realized that he was definitely not faking it, so I lit a cigarette for him and asked him not to worry, and told him about the South China Sea incident in detail. At this time, I made the big gold tooth for Uncle Ming. The bowl of noodle soup was brought to him after it was cooked. The fat man and I could smell the aroma from a long distance away. Although we both knew that Da Jinya was not only a man of dexterity, but also knew how to cook food and was very particular about everything he ate. , but I didn’t expect that a bowl of noodles soup could be so tempting.

The only things left in my house were two raw eggs and a few rotten leeks. It was already getting late and there was nothing I could buy on the street. So Da Jinya borrowed some noodles from his neighbor Aunt Liu and hurriedly cooked them for Uncle Ming. Over this bowl of egg noodle soup, Da Jinya said: "Masters, we are all people of status. Although we have a simple meal, we can't just eat it casually, especially for people like Uncle Ming who are in such a situation. It’s a neglect.”
