I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

When Wei Miao told Lu Pingsheng what was in her cave, he fell silent.

After a long time, the pale handsome face exhaled, "Ah Miao, have you seen The Count of Monte Cristo?"

Wei Miao shook his head. He used to make a living outside because of his stuttering, and all he read were newspapers and outdated magazines.

Later, she met Lu Pingsheng. The books he brought back were all about mathematics, physics and chemistry. She was not interested in anything literary.

The only books that caught her eye were Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Classic of Mountains and Seas; the rest were like chewing wax.

Lu Pingsheng's mind was a little confused, and he felt that the world he lived in was a little crazy.

"Do you still have that gold coin?" he asked.

Wei Miao took out the gold coins from his pocket and spread them out in his palm.

Lu Pingsheng closed his eyes and opened them again, then picked up the gold coin in Wei Miao's hand with trembling hands and looked at it in front of his eyes.

Heads of popes, religious symbols, types of treasures and bizarre places.

"Sure enough, sure enough..."

He murmured, "Why would something from a novel written two centuries ago appear on an island in the western Pacific?"

"Brother Lu, how can you do this?"

Lu Pingsheng shook his head, as if trying to get rid of all the chaotic thoughts.

"A Miao, you've made a fortune, and anyone who sees it can get a share." The corners of his mouth curled up with a wicked smile in his eyes.

Wei Miao waved his hand generously, his eyes fell on the gold coins in his hand, and said generously:

"Then the gold coin is for you."

What a money-grubber, Lu Pingsheng shook his head and sighed.

“Brother Lu, when will Ala leave?”

Lu Pingsheng thought about the progress of his work and expected to return to Hong Kong Island in three or four days, but he teased Wei Miao:

"Your heart is as hard as iron. I was injured and bleeding, but you let me go far away."

Wei Miao despised his poor acting skills in his heart, but said worriedly:

"If we return to Hong Kong Island too late, I'm afraid the Japanese will have collected enough money to pay for the goods."

Lu Pingsheng choked, it turned out that he could not hide anything from the little brat.

"We'll set out in three days."

Wei Miao was in a good mood after getting the confirmation, and was eager to open the wax-wrapped box.

Although Lu Pingsheng looked tired, he was also in high spirits.

The lighter ignited the kerosene lamp and candle, and the high temperature melted the wax on the surface.

After the two men struggled for half an hour, a box of unknown material appeared in their sight.

Wei Miao held the box in his hand and asked Lupin:

"Brother Lu, will there be any mechanism inside after opening it?"

Seeing her pretending to be good, Lu Pingsheng felt both angry and amused. He reached out and took the box, opening it.

Both of them looked at the folded object in the box.

With the previous experience of treasure hunting in secret rooms, I knew it was a map at a glance.

Lu Pingsheng opened the thin parchment scroll, took a look at it, threw it to Wei Miao, and said confidently:

"It's a map, but Allah denies it."

Wei Miao first looked at the ridiculously simple map on the front, then turned to the back to read the long text on it, closed his eyes and analyzed it for a moment before saying:

"Ancient Roman."

Lu Pingsheng thought to himself, "Do you recognize him?"

Wei Miao nodded and shook his head, saying awkwardly:

"I know it's ancient Roman, but I don't know what it means. I'll have to look for some literature to study it when I get back."

Lu Pingsheng suddenly lost interest. He didn't have enough energy to waste on such things.

"Keep it, maybe it's a treasure map."

Wei Miao agreed with this deeply. She put the thin parchment scroll back into the box and looked at the wax liquid that was being melted in the plate.

Then light the kerosene lamp, heat the wax until it is half melted, and seal the box again.

Lu Pingsheng was half lying on the bed, watching the little boy wrap the box with wax and pinch it into the shape of a cat with his bare hands. He felt both amused and helpless.

In the next two days, there were occasional boats coming to the island and leaving quickly, and the men and strong women in the village also went out early and returned late.

Even Ah Zhen and the half-grown children became busy. They gathered at sunrise and sailed away on the boat. They returned at sunset, exhausted.

On Lupin’s birthday, he would make a delicious soup made from a pheasant and medicinal herbs.

Even though he was drinking so much that his nose was bleeding, Aunt Jiu still insisted on making him drink before she left the room.

Wei Miao curled her lips, "Aunt Jiu, Brother Lu is too weak to take the tonic, it would be a waste if he drank it."

Aunt Jiu nodded with amusement, "Then this soup is not something a boy like you can drink."

After that, she muttered, "There are fewer chicken legs today. If I knew which bastard stole some, I would make him pay."

Wei Miao waved her hands quickly and said obediently: "Aunt Jiu, I have been here with Brother Lu since early morning..."

Aunt Jiu looked at her rosy lips and white teeth and laughed heartily.

Watching Aunt Jiu's back as she left swiftly, Wei Miao supported her cheek with one hand and tapped it out of boredom. She missed Xu A'Yu a little.

I don’t know how the braised meat shop is doing when she is not around, whether Ah Xi is making trouble, how resentful Sister Li is, and whether Ah Ran is still very conflicted.

And if the old monk returns and finds that Dong Ge is not here, will he feel so disappointed that he punishes Dong Ge to write a few more big characters...

And whether the fetus in Aunt Xu's belly is healthy...

"Are you homesick?" After wiping the blood from his nose, Lu Pingsheng picked up the teacup to rinse his mouth, spitting out the bloody taste that flowed into his mouth.

"I didn't think there was anything good about the foreign land before, but now I find it's full of fun."

Lu Pingsheng did not feel that way. He was very busy in Shanghai. Sometimes he had to attend more than ten appointments and eat several meals a day.

After coming out of one birthday party, I would go to that party; or I would attend some event, and occasionally organize a party.

The faces of all kinds of people flashed before his eyes like slides. With some people, they might part without even saying a word; with some people, they might see each other once and then never see each other again.

He suddenly realized that he spent the most time with the little brat.

That's why he doesn't have any sense of separation or homesickness.

"Tomorrow when the tide goes out, a small boat will be parked at the place you mentioned, and the cowboy will bring people to help you move..."

Wei Miao was immediately delighted, then he thought of something, said "thank you" casually, and ran out.

When I was leaving the house, I almost bumped into the cowboy who was pushing the door open.

As she walked out of the yard, she pricked up her ears and heard the cowboy say:

"The traces of the three cruise ships that the foreign devil mentioned have been found."

Lu Pingsheng's tone was filled with excitement, "Tell Sister Ling, according to the old rules, the cargo and passengers belong to us, and the ship and crew belong to them."

Although the cowboy didn't understand why Mr. Lu didn't let the pirates kill the passengers, as it was troublesome to kill living people, he always obeyed.

"I see. Two of Ling Sao's gang members think we got too much..."

Indeed, they could only watch tens of thousands of tons of arms and war supplies, so naturally some people were jealous.

There was no trace of gentleness in Lu Pingsheng's eyes and brows when he sneered at Wei Miao.

"Let's see how Sister Ling handles it. If she doesn't do anything, just throw it into the sea to feed the fish."

People are always greedy. Sister Ling's method would not let Cowboy know the situation. She was just testing him.

Although these goods are priceless, they are still worth the money compared to a transport cruise ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.

After the cowboy left, Lu Pingsheng coughed twice and murmured:

"As expected, when you become a human, you want to become an immortal, and when you become an immortal, you want to go to heaven."
