Chapter 25 Cooperation
"Handsome, but what are you doing dressed like this today? Is it a blind date? Lin Tao suddenly thought of this possibility as he spoke, and shouted in surprise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The fat man gave Lin Tao a thumbs up and said, "You guys guess so accurately every time, hehe, my dad introduced me to a girl, a university teacher, or a dancer, I was just going to see it, you just called me when I went out, seeing that you are in such a hurry, I will come over first." ”
Lin Tao was very grateful when he heard the fat man's words, he didn't expect such a big thing as a blind date, for the sake of his brother and the fat man to rush over as soon as possible, Lin Tao didn't speak, and kept all his gratitude in his heart.
After looking around, he took the map to the fat man. The fat man saw that Lin Tao mysteriously took a map to himself, and began to be curious, what is it, Da Tao values it so much, took the map, the fat man unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and his face changed after touching it a few times.
The map in his hand, the fat man knew what material it was when he touched it, and he stretched out his head and whispered to Lin Tao, "Where did you get this thing from?" With that, he pulled the map down under the table.
Lin Tao didn't respond to the fat man's words, and asked instead: "You tell me first, what is drawn on this map." ”
The fat man stood up and looked around, and there were no other faces in the café except for a few old acquaintances. Only then did he carefully take out the map, spread it on the table, and looked at it seriously, while Lin Tao looked around from time to time on the side to give the fat man a sentry.
After a long time, the fat man's eyes left the map, and he said softly: "This map is not simple, first of all, let's look at this material, it should be made of the best black sheepskin after refining through secret techniques, and then soaked in antiseptic potions, in order to withstand the erosion of the years, and you see, the ink on the map is also extraordinary, called cuttlefish." ”
"Cuttlefish? Could it be made with the kind of cuttlefish liquid from the sea? Lin Tao asked curiously.
"No, this cuttlefish is not another cuttlefish. I also heard this secret ink from my dad some time ago, and the method of making it is very special. The fat man glanced around mysteriously, turned his head, and whispered.
"It is said that this is an invention of a Danshi, different from the general ink production method, first of all, we must select the best bamboo, remove the water in it after exposure to the sun, and then put it in the cave to mix some mixed herbs to smoke, take out the bamboo and burn it into charcoal, scrape off the charcoal powder on the bamboo and collect it into the jar, this is the first step It takes a full seven hundred and forty-nine days to complete, which is a waste of a lot of medicinal materials." The fat man said seriously.
"This second step doesn't sound like it's about ink. Catch the giant salamander that has just been born for about 2-3 weeks, gather 7749 pieces, take the iris and pupil in its eyes and add bamboo charcoal powder to boil until it is boiled into a viscous colloid, and then use a secret method to mix the two black colloids together, and finally dry them to form ink cubes before they can be used. However, the secret method in the middle has disappeared into history, and another magnificent Chinese secret technique has been broken. The fat man said with some regret.
Lin Tao only noticed that the material of this map was very special, but he didn't think that the ink on it was also so precious.
"This map should be a map that records the route, and this point in the middle should be the meaning of the existence of this map, but now I can't see the specific location, this map should have been made a long time ago, landmarks will also change due to time, and many other factors will change greatly, I need time to find information to know where this is, or give it to me first, I'll go back and study it." The fat man folded the map back and said.
"That's the only way to do it now, it's hard for you, but you must be careful not to be discovered by others." Lin Tao reminded the fat man.
"Don't worry, then I'll go meet my little blind date first, and then go back to study when I'm done." As he spoke, the fat man put the map in the inner pocket of his clothes, patted it, made sure that the thing was there, stood up, shook his clothes, and walked out happily.
Lin Tao returned to the hotel directly after the fat man left, as soon as he entered the house, he found that Xiangxin was still sleeping in last night's pajamas, Lin Tao sat on the sofa, thinking about how to tell Xiangxin that if the fat man succeeded in researching the information of the map in the shortest possible time, he would have the initiative, and he could tell Xiangxin false information, Lin Tao thought with a smile, but he didn't notice that Xiangxin who was lying on the bed was secretly looking at himself.
Lin Tao planned to wait for Xiangxin to wake up and tell her that the box now had information, and it would take a few days to determine the specific location, just in time to ask Xiangxin if she knew anything on the map.
After thinking about the rhetoric, Lin Tao looked at Xiangxin, who knew that she had already sat up at this time, and looked at Lin Tao with a tender face, which made Lin Tao look embarrassed, one is that her eyes are really irresistible temptation, and the other is that she is going to start making up lies again, and she is a little weak-hearted.
"I went to the police station today, did I get anything?" Xiangxin saw Lin Tao's face and guessed what he was going to say next, after Lin Tao left in the morning, she followed all the way, as long as Lin Tao had been to wherever she went, except for the underground air-raid shelter in Shi Zhitong's unit, before Lin Tao returned to the hotel, he lay on the bed and pretended to sleep, so Lin Tao's every move after coming in fell into Xiangxin's eyes.
After Xiangxin finished speaking, Lin Tao knew that the rhetoric he had just thought of was about to be ruined again, so he stood up angrily and yelled at her: "Are you following me, how do you know that I went to the police station." ”
Who knows that Xiangxin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with following Lin Tao: "I'm just here to help you, if you go out and meet my senior sister, and the two fight, I can still adjust it, you say yes, besides, if you get the news of the map, I can also help you as soon as possible." Xiangxin squinted at Lin Tao and said.
"By the way, tell me what you got at the police station today." Xiangxin forced Lin Tao to tell the information unrelentingly.
It seems that she was monitored by Xiangxin the whole time she went out today, and it is estimated that she also knew about the map, so she sighed: "You tell me about the information about the map you know." ”
"What you mean by this means that you agree to cooperate, don't you?" Xiangxin said happily. Seeing Lin Tao nodding helplessly, his smiling eyes narrowed together.
"Since you agreed to our cooperation plan, then I won't care about the irresponsible words you said before, but from today onwards, I don't want any secrets between us to hide from each other, of course, I will tell you some information I know first, and you will definitely be able to do it." Xiangxin said in an affirmative tone, not allowing Lin Tao to refuse.
At this time, Lin Tao felt that he really wanted to cry without tears, and he had completely fallen into Xiangxin's grasp.
