Chapter 29: Solitude

Since Wuhou said so, I opened the conversation box and told him the ins and outs of the matter, not that I am defenseless against people, but that I have no other way, and although the fat old man in front of me is evil, he does not feel like a bad person.

"Master Wu, this is how the whole thing happened." I stared at him, trying to figure out something from his expression that I could guess.

"Oh." He answered softly, leaned his whole body back on the sofa, closed his eyes and did not speak, I never dared to disturb him, maybe he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he sat up straight, looked at me with his little eyes for a while, and then opened his mouth to say to me, "Ding Jia, I can help you with this favor, and I can help you find your friends before the sun sets today, and I can make sure that they are unharmed." ”

When I heard this, I jumped up happily, "Thank you, Lao Wu!" ”

Although I am an adult, I couldn't suppress my inner excitement for a moment to make such a move, and suddenly I felt a little out of shape.

"Hahaha, sit down and sit down, the young man just can't hold it in his heart!" He smiled and raised his hand to motionfor me to sit back on the couch.

"But"

My face sank, and my expression was a little stiff, "Master Wu, but what?" ”

"But you're going to do me a favor too, how about it?" He made a request to me, but still looked at me with a smile, as if he was confident that I would agree to him.

"Okay, as long as I can do it." I'm very crisp.

Wu Hou leaned forward, "I'll help you save your friend, you help me find someone, only you can find this person." ”

"Huh? Why is it only me who can find this person? "I wondered, when I first came to the Dragon King's Tomb, how could I help him find someone, how could I be the only one who could find the person he was talking about?

"Because it's not appropriate for me to find someone else, and for this matter, you are an outsider, so this matter is easier to handle."

"Well, I see."

"Of course, because of this, you wait a little." Wu Hou got up from the sofa and walked into the study.

I took a sip of tea, and he came out of the study, holding a wooden box in his hand, gently placing it on the coffee table in front of me, and patting it lightly with his hand.

I took a closer look at the wooden box, which was hollowed out of a whole piece of small-leaved rosewood, and the contents must have been very valuable, otherwise they would not have been worthy of this box.

"You open it and take a look, but I hope you don't be surprised, you have also seen the 'world' in recent times." I know that the world he is talking about is actually these bizarre experiences of mine.

I picked up the wooden box on the coffee table and gently opened it, and I was really surprised by the contents inside! A bronze plaque lay quietly inside, exactly like the one that Shanzi cut off from the wall under the sea!

"Ah, this!" I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say, and I froze there with the wooden box in my hand.

"It seems that what Uncle Liu said is true, you really have a bronze medal!" I'm a little confused, is this bronze medal also taken out from the bottom of the sea, it's impossible!

I only heard Wuhou snort indignantly, and his face immediately became ugly, "I knew that the big bald man told you!" ”

"Master Wu, oh no, Uncle Wu, you can't blame Uncle for this, he also said it casually." I hurriedly excused Boss Liu, otherwise I really don't know how this old man can toss him.

"Well, your mouth is quite sweet! Now there are not many young people like you who respect their elders and think about their friends so righteously. Wu Hou looked at me appreciatively, "If it was the third child who fell into the sea that day, he would have sold his things a long time ago, and he would have spent a lot of time drinking!" ”

"You've won the prize, I'm just trying to get my friends back, and I hope nothing goes wrong with them."

I was still thinking about saving people, so I quickly changed the conversation, "Where did you get this bronze medal, and how can I help you find that person?" ”

"You listen to me slowly, if you don't know or don't understand, you can just ask me, but you don't have to worry about our delay, I guarantee that your friend is safe and sound." Wu Hou returned to a more serious countenance.

"This bronze medal was given to me by my fellow junior sister, her name is Fang Yuchan, and this matter must have been forty years. At that time, we were both teenagers, and we studied water with the same teacher. ”

"Water?"

"Well, the so-called water affairs are nothing more than dealing with water, I learned to fish for sunken ships, she learned to dig pirate treasures, and then these two water things were called 'river dragons' and 'ocean-crossing eagles'."

My eyes widened, what these two old buttocks had told me was that they were all from the Four Golden Beasts.

"So these two factions in the four golden beasts that are circulating now were created by you and your junior sister! Awesome, awesome, Uncle Wu! I gave a thumbs up to Wuhou.

"This is not something we created, it has been around since ancient times, but the name is different, and now there are people who assign and classify these things, in fact, they are all the same, they all want to find something to make a fortune."

"As far as the four golden beasts you just said, the purpose is the same, they all want to make a windfall at the risk of losing their heads, and the difference is where to find things." Wu Hou explained it to me a little, and I could see that he was not as eccentric as he looked, but he was actually very patient, but it depended on who the object was.

"Yuchan and I have had a relationship since then, one day she secretly gave me a bronze medal, she thought it was relatively old, maybe it could be worth a lot of money, I asked her where she got it, but she didn't tell me." When Wu Hou said this, he gently touched the bronze medal with one hand.

"I have been keeping this bronze medal as a ruler, and then I accepted apprentices, the three brothers of the Liu family, they were very stubborn when they were children, and they often broke my things, and I didn't continue to use this ruler, and I put it away in a box." When Wu Hou said this, he became very gentle, not the look that an old man should show.

"Then what happened to you and your junior sister?" I'm a little curious, even though people my age shouldn't be curious anymore.

He picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea, "When we are older, we are already going to talk about marriage, not only the parents of both parties agree, but even our master is very happy, after all, this is a kiss and a kiss!" Although I was not very old at that time, I also followed the master a few times, and each time the master gave me a reward, and I was also well-known in the water affairs circle. ”

"But after all, there was nothing to do at that time, I felt that I had a few stinky money, plus I was a little famous, so I began to indulge myself, alas......" Wu Hou said this, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Uncle Wu, everyone is like this, they were more or less frivolous when they were young." I comforted him and took a sip from my teacup.

"Once I fooled around with a woman all night, and the next day I slept until noon and didn't get up, and I was blocked by Yuchan. After that, the marriage is over. My father was so angry that he couldn't afford to be sick, and when the master found out, he was also furious and almost kicked me out of the school, but in the end it was Yuchan who interceded for me, and the master let me go. When he talked about his master, his tone immediately changed.

"My master's name is Shangguan Yunchu, few people know it now, and he was a very famous water master at that time. At that time, when the government had some difficult underwater archaeological projects, they all asked him to help, and later the government incorporated my master into the first batch of underwater archaeological teams in China as a senior consultant. ”

At this time, Wu Hou showed a look of awe on his face, "My master still has a pair of words until now, which was written to him by a minister at that time, called 'Hidden Dragon in the Wild'!" ”
