I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China
Chapter 346: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Looking at the little girl's back as she hurriedly left, Wei Miao was not too worried.
After all, with Brother Lu here, we have good luck. There will definitely be twists and turns, but the problems will definitely be solved smoothly.
Maybe the danger will turn into safety and bring benefits.
Wei Miao carried A Miao back to the house and looked at the gold coins in his hand under the kerosene lamp.
"Not like the stuff back home?"
Wei Miao looked at the pattern on the gold coin and immediately put the books he had read to use.
"Ancient Pope's gold coin?"
Lu Pingsheng's uncle not only engages in the business of reselling domestic cultural relics, but also invests in foreign cultural relics.
This ancient papal gold coin from several centuries ago is just a small amount of gold in Wei Miao's eyes, but it is of extraordinary value in the eyes of Western collectors.
According to her understanding, one coin is worth at least eighty US dollars.
Eighty US dollars can be exchanged for more than the weight of this gold coin.
Wei Miao's eyes were as bright as stars. He bent down, picked up A Li, and rubbed it with his forehead.
"Ahri, where did this thing come from?"
"Meow~"
Wei Miao heard the noisy noise outside and felt that now was not a good time to explore for gold coins.
I don’t know what’s going on outside.
On the beach, Lu Pingsheng stood in the crowd, looking at the lifeboat lowered from the tall cargo ship with a gloomy face.
The boat was swaying in the waves, and his frown never relaxed.
"What should we do?" someone beside him asked softly.
Lu Pingsheng did not turn around, and said with a hint of coldness in his tone:
"There are no people in the direction their boat is heading. Let's observe them from a distance first. It would be best if we can drive them away. If they don't leave, then we'll just kill them all."
The people behind him left quietly, and Lu Pingsheng sighed in his heart.
It's not that he is cruel and ruthless, but once these people try to land on the island, there is no way they can survive.
This was the transit station he had specially chosen. Most of the people on the island were family members of the core pirates, and a small number were his trusted aides.
This kind of place is absolutely secretive.
Twenty minutes later, the cowboy came back and walked behind Lu Pingsheng, whispering in his ear.
"It's a cargo ship from Tiger Shipping."
Lu Pingsheng rubbed his thumb and index finger. "Didn't they say that after September 18, the British returned home and shipping was in a semi-suspended state?"
The plain-looking cowboy behind him clearly knew a lot about this and explained:
"After the fall of Northeast China, all the coastal cities in the north were also controlled by the Japanese. Tiger-Lion Shipping, which was based in Yingdao, stopped domestic shipping and only operated ocean routes."
Lu Pingsheng snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "The afterglow of the British Empire can never withstand the guns and cannons of the Plaster Flag."
The cowboy remained silent.
He and his family's lives were saved by Mr. Lu, and his attitude is his own attitude.
"Have someone guard it. If they find fresh water and supplies and leave, forget it. If not, arrest them and ask what's on the boat..."
The cowboy understood what Lu Pingsheng had not finished saying. This was something they had done more than once.
If there is opium on the ship, it can be sold back; if there is cargo, it can be robbed and another source of income can be obtained.
They were pirates, and robbing was natural.
When Lu Pingsheng returned to the stone house, he found Wei Miao feeding Ali with dried fish.
"It met you, and this cat's life is complete."
Wei Miao looked up at the crescent moon in the sky behind Lu Pingsheng, "Brother Lu, is there anything interesting about this island?"
Lu Pingsheng thought for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "When I found it, it was a deserted island. There were poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts on the island. I was almost bitten by a snake that time."
Wei Miao thought about the time. She had just known Lu Pingsheng for a short time and he had disappeared for a while.
I guess I'm busy with these.
"Look at this, how much is it worth?" Everyone around was watching at the beach, and there was no one at home, so Wei Miao generously handed the thing to Lu Pingsheng.
Lu Pingsheng saw a dim golden light in front of his eyes, and he thought it was the gold coins that Wei Miao had hidden in the secret room.
I felt something was wrong when I touched it, so I took out the lighter in my pocket, lit it up and took a look.
"Ancient Roman Pope's gold coin?" His surprised tone made Wei Miaoxiao's heart skip a beat.
"I've read in the newspapers that gold coins from the 16th century were extremely valuable."
Lu Pingsheng nodded and said seriously: "If you meet a collector who likes to collect it, your coin will cost at least one hundred US dollars."
Wei Miao couldn't suppress the smile at all.
One hundred US dollars, she calculated in her mind. This kind of gold coin usually does not appear alone, so if there is one, there will definitely be a bunch of them.
One hundred dollars, plus some extra money, can be exchanged for a large yellow croaker.
Wei Miao licked her lips, feeling a delicious taste beckoning at her. She raised her eyes and saw Lu Pingsheng staring at her.
Thinking that he still needed Brother Lu to sell the stolen goods, Wei Miao did not hide it.
He told her the gold coins that Ahri gave him and his guess.
Lu Pingsheng looked at the raccoon cat who was concentrating on eating fish with complicated eyes, and then looked at the little boy whose eyes were full of hope.
I can't help but sigh in my heart that this guy is simply a favorite of heaven.
But when I took her to an island, she was holding a medieval gold coin in her hand. I boldly guessed that it was a treasure left by pirates or the Pope.
The image of The Count of Monte Cristo which he had seen in his previous life even appeared in his mind.
An old cave, filled with gold and gems...
Seeing that he was distracted, Wei Miao decided to go back to sleep and rest up so that he could go look for treasure with Ali at dawn tomorrow.
At night, Wei Miao was lying on the bed and vaguely heard deafening cheers outside, which lasted for about two hours and finally returned to silence.
When she turned over, she found Ali squatting at the head of her bed, looking towards the door with his green eyes.
"Ah Li, Brother Lu is here, nothing will happen, just go to sleep."
Ahri lay obediently beside her head, making purring sounds.
At dawn the next day, I heard Ah Zhen's slightly shy voice outside the window.
"Mr. Lu, what would you like to eat for breakfast today?"
Lu Pingsheng said gently: "Thank you, I have told Aunt Jiu. I want to eat wonton noodles."
Ah Zhen said, "Aunt Jiu's wontons are the best. No wonder Mr. Lu likes them so much."
"I'm fine. I know my fiancée really likes wontons, so I wanted to try one more for her."
Wei Miao even heard the sound of the girl's heart breaking.
He curled his lips, got up and put on his shoes.
Although wontons are delicious, she still prefers rice rolls and fish balls. It’s just that both of them are quite time-consuming to make and they only satisfy her cravings.
"Ahri, come here."
There was unrest on the island last night, and Ali was very sensible and stayed by Wei Miao's side.
Hearing Wei Miao's call, it first grabbed Wei Miao's trouser leg, moved up flexibly, and then sat steadily on her shoulder.
Wei Miao held it in his arms and raised his hand to give it a little spiritual energy, "It would be great if you could speak."
"Meow~"
Ali called out, as if saying: I can speak, but you just can't understand me.
Wei Miao's eyes fell on the movie poster on the wall and said to Ali:
"How about you learn to read and practice calligraphy, and then we can exchange ideas in writing."
"Meow~"
Ali quickly broke free from Wei Miao's arms and disappeared outside the door.
