Chapter 40 Chapter 38 Twins

When the boat docked, Na Lan at least wanted to understand that her life should not be blocked by a sword of hurt feelings.After going ashore, she hesitated, wondering if she should turn around and ask Boss Du to borrow her mobile phone, and was about to "surrender" to Bayusheng. When she lowered her head and recalled Bayusheng's mobile phone number, there was another wind, and Nalan shivered, thinking about the unknown Where is the lost shawl. As she wished, a windbreaker was draped over her shoulders. Nalan was startled, and looking back, she saw a pair of deep and tender eyes, an extremely handsome face, and a caring voice: "Your relatives and friends are all here, who else do you need to call?"

It's Deng Xiao.He still has a bit of leisure and desolation other than free and easy, but he can't hide the affectionate invitation of "Cry in my arms if you want to cry". Nalan suddenly had the urge to cry in his arms.If he put his arms around her shoulders, it would happen here. Deng Xiao obviously didn't want to be a non-gentleman who took advantage of others' danger, so he didn't move, but said softly: "The only thing you have to do now is to sleep well." A gentleman has no other distractions.He added: "Look, who else is coming to pick you up."

Before Na Lan could turn her head, the back of her head was tapped lightly. No one was seen, Na Lan already knew who it was. A girl with shoulder-length hair and bright eyes and white teeth is like Tao Zi after three autumns. Nalan couldn't remember clearly, how long had it been since she cried so heartily.What's even more embarrassing is that tears flowed freely in such a "public place".But she didn't care too much, the brush with death, the ups and downs of fascination, and the night's escape, Nalan felt that she had enough qualifications to cry. Tao Zi stroked Nalan's short hair distressedly, and said, "Okay, don't worry now, your journey of self-harm can finally come to an end."

After stabilizing her emotions for a while, Na Lan turned to face Deng Xiao again, and said, "The first time we met last time, you said that you can help me hide and change my identity. Does that still count?" There was no trace of surprise on Deng Xiao's face. He obviously expected that Nalan would make this request sooner or later. He smiled and said, "Not only does it count, but I also promise that I don't need to take you to Korea for plastic surgery." With the help of Bayusheng, Na Lan has communicated with the department and the graduate school. She may miss a few basic classes. She will try to make up for her through self-study and Tao Zi's recording of the class for her.Bayusheng arranged a safe and guarded accommodation for Nalan, but Nalan still asked Deng Xiao to pick him up.She knew that Deng Xiao was one of the very few people in Jiangjing who could help her implement her plan.

A plan even more dangerous than approaching Qinhuai. The car that came to pick up Nalan drove deep into the campus and arrived at the "Qisi Building" where the Chinese Department is located.Qisi Building is located in a small garden surrounded by green bamboos, which is one of the most secluded areas of Jiangda University. There are flowers and trees all over the front and back of the building, and there is no parking place at all, but Deng Xiao's car is still big. Live on the trail. At this moment, Na Lan didn't care to think too much about social morality, so she quickly got out of the car and ran into the building.

Seeing Gong Jin, Na Lan immediately asked, "Please do me a favor." Gong Jin was trying to seduce two first-year female graduate students. When he first saw Na Lan, he didn't recognize him for a moment. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "If you hadn't called in advance, I wouldn't dare to recognize you at all. Both of you Junior sister, this is the name you are about to get tired of hearing, Nalan." The two junior sisters stood up with a smile, and Na Lan said, "It seems that I am really notorious." "I heard you know Qin Huai." One of the baby-faced girls who looked like a high school student asked. "Is he as the papers say?"

Nalan said: "It's worse than that, just wait until my blog breaks the news, there are pictures and the truth." After the two girls left, Nalan asked, "Did you find a translator for me?" Gong Jin said: "You are lucky, you met me in your lifetime... The translator has been found. No one in Jiangda University knows ancient Mongolian characters, but I found an expert in the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences. He looked at it and said, that picture I used the standard Basiba script of the Yuan Dynasty, so it’s not difficult to translate.” He took out a map from his schoolbag, and Qin Huai used this map to “hunt for treasure” back then, but returned empty-handed, and published it by writing novels. Some money.Qin Huai showed it to Na Lan, and Na Lan made a copy in his study, never expecting to use it for future plans.

Na Lan took it over and saw that there were translated Chinese characters beside the ancient Mongolian script of the Yuan Dynasty on the original picture, and said, "Thank you. I'm leaving. After I'm released from prison, I'll treat you to dinner with that Mongolian character expert." Just as she turned around and was about to leave, Gong Jin called to her: "Don't hurry!" Nalan guessed that he might have to say something irrelevant, but Gong Jin said, "Do you know that in this picture of yours, there are twins?" "What?" Nalan was taken aback, wondering what word games he was playing?Throw the piece of paper in your hand into the copier, and countless "twins" will come out.

Gong Jin said: "The expert from the Academy of Social Sciences saw this map and said: 'I seem to have seen this map before.' Then he said: 'No, it's not exactly the same.' I don't know how many hours later During the day, he kept calling and sending emails, and finally, he sent such a fax from far away Hohhot..." "Are you kidding me?" Gong Jin took out another piece of paper from his schoolbag and handed it to Nalan. At first glance, this photocopied map of Zhaoyang Lake is indeed exactly the same as the one owned by Qinhuai, similar in size, with the same ancient Mongolian characters, and even the folds around the sheepskin are the same.

"It seems that they are really the same." Na Lan couldn't see any difference for a while. "Look carefully." Taking a closer look, Nalan found that some signs had different orientations and different names, as if there were two completely different sets of geographical signs in the water of Zhaoyang Lake. Gong Jin said: "This picture was discovered about three years ago in a remote pastoral area in Inner Mongolia. At first, experts thought it was Hulun Lake or Bosten Lake, but it was hard to say for sure, because there are several large freshwater lakes in Inner Mongolia. The change of the lake body is particularly serious, and the written signs do not conform to the old name. Due to the lack of obvious archaeological and cultural value, the research on this sheepskin map was shelved. The expert from the Academy of Social Sciences also went to the Hohhot City Museum on a business trip the year before last. At that time, I had a relationship with that map, and I didn’t take it to heart at the time, because frankly speaking, if you don’t look carefully, the shape of the lake on this map does not match the modern Zhaoyang Lake.”

"Brother, is there any theoretical explanation for these two pictures?" Nalan asked curiously. Gong Jin shook his head: "No, according to what he said, these are two ordinary maps of Zhaoyang Lake, except that the Basiba characters are used to mark some marks on the island. The author is unknown and the date is unknown. It has so much meaning." Na Lan discovered Jiangjing's same-city forum on a social networking site for water sports enthusiasts called "Scuba Diving Club". After she registered, it took her two days to strike up a conversation with several activists on the forum and call them brothers.It was actually not difficult at all, because she found that she seemed to be the only woman in the forum. "Are you the beautiful student in Bi Xiaozhou's training class?" On QQ, the temporary moderator of the forum named "Dada Shasha" started chatting with Nalan.The online name Na Lan gave herself is "Jinyiwei". In her personal introduction, she hinted that she is the kind of leisurely and happy but independent "semi-material girl". Strive to throw the horse ring.She knew that such a girl could only be found in fairy tales, but she looked around, and she was sitting in a bright and luxurious living room for no reason, facing a lake, and the small island in the distance that occasionally made her lose her mind, drinking a thick drink. Fragrant milk tea, not to mention a boy downstairs in Yushu Linfeng, with a pair of bottomless but warm eyes, a... a word that she finds it awkward to say and think of... a rich boy. Even if the graves of Hans Christian Andersen or the Brothers Grimm were dug up that night and their souls were brought back to life, such a fairy tale would not be written. Nalan typed like a fly, and said, "You think I'm a student of the Xiaozhou Water Sports Training Camp? I'm almost as good as a coach." Dada Shasha: "The tone is not small." Nalan: "You can swim to the sky in one breath." Dada Shasha: "Blow to the sky in one breath." Nalan: "Don't believe me? Forget it." Dada Shasha: "Every Saturday afternoon, a few buddies will choose a spot by the Qing'an River to have a diving adventure together. If you are interested, you can join. After the fun, usually find a small farmhouse restaurant nearby , drink and chat." Nalan: "Okay, where is this time?" Dada Shasha: "I will send you the specific address. In the outskirts of the city, the traffic is not particularly convenient. If you need a ride, please let me know." Nalan: "Thank you for your kindness. I should be able to find the car." Dada Shasha: "No chance at all?" Then there were a bunch of smiling faces. Nalan smiled, at least he was straightforward.She continued to knock: "You reminded me, I guess you must be a bunch of bastards, do you have a hooligan style? I am not a coward, but I am not big enough to sacrifice my life to feed wolves." Dada Shasha: "Don't worry. There are a few poor quality divers, but they don't get along with us. The few we often hang out with are all daring but polite." Nalan laughed again. Dada Shasha is a giant. From his forehead to the soles of his feet, there are lumps of muscles. Sitting on a bamboo chair in a farm restaurant, he is in danger of "collapsing" at any time.He wasn't exaggerating. The few boys who played diving together and later drank together looked quite simple.Among them, apart from Dada Shasha and Bi Xiaozhou who are natives of Jiangjing, the other three are young men who stayed in Jiangjing after graduating from university to work hard.After diving down one day, I got acquainted with a few people.Dada Shasha's real name is Xie Jiong, and he showed Nalan his business card, which says "Jie Jiong". His conversation at the dinner table is similar to the style of "ruling power" on the forum, decisive and humorous. "Come on, let's give a toast to classmate Nalan. You are brave enough to come and play with us; your tone is big enough, but your level is not bad. In terms of diving, you are much better than those beginner beauties who play tickets, but You can still work harder; in terms of swimming, we can call you Mistress..." Someone laughed and interjected, "Then who is Master?" Xie Jiong said: "Nonsense, haven't you seen the Land Rover that came to see off that classmate today? There is 'Mr. That' sitting in it, right?" Nalan knew they were tricking her, so she smiled and said, "You don't know? I came here by begging for a ride along the road, and pretended to be pitiful. There are so many good people on the road." Seeing that Nalan didn't drink, Bi Xiaozhou said, "Don't persuade Xie Jiong, if Nalan can't drink, let her drink Coke." Nalan raised his glass: "I don't drink much, I'll drink this with everyone, and I'm honored to meet you comrades who like me to dive into the water." When everyone's glasses were upside down, Nalan said, "Okay, I should start drinking Coke." Someone asked: "I haven't asked you yet, where did you get rich?" Na Lan said: "What kind of money do you make? I'm just a student of Jiang University." "What professional?" "It's boring, about liberal arts... Let me tell you something interesting. I have such a brother, one day he took the dean's letter and forced me to help him find an old-fashioned book in the ancient book collection room of the library. Documents. As you know, some things in Jiangda’s library are richer than those in the municipal library. I have opened my eyes a little, such as Li Hongzhang’s autographed letters and Qing Dynasty editions. I found a good thing..." Na Lan gradually lowered her voice and slowed down her speech. Xie Jiong said: "I feel this will be a brain teaser, a bad joke, like a dead mouse." Nalan smiled and said, "It's almost the same. Have you heard the legend about the treasure at the bottom of Zhaoyang Lake?" Some people at the table were at a loss, while others understood. Nalan noticed the exchange of glances between Xie Jiong and Bi Xiaozhou, and said, "That's right. It is said that under the Zhaoyang Lake, there is buried the treasure that Boyan, the prime minister of the most evil force in the Yuan Dynasty, has worked so hard to search for all his life. No one knows exactly how much gold is in it, but I heard someone estimate that if you get a small portion, you can easily compare with some local rich people, such as Sikong Zhu, Chen Pinzhang, and Wang Yan." Xie Jiong said, "Go on, you said you found something good in the pile of ancient books." Nalan looked at these big boys one by one, and asked, "You really can't guess?" Bi Xiaozhou asked: "Treasure map?" "A piece of sheepskin with a map of Zhaoyang Lake drawn on it, marking the location of the hidden treasure." The table was silent. Finally, Xie Jiong said, "You little classmate, you're still telling bad jokes, aren't you?" Nalan smiled without answering, drinking Coke.Another boy asked, "You came to us to tell us this?" The others stared at him, surprised how they could ask such a mentally retarded question.Na Lan said, "What's the point of just 'telling' you this?" Bi Xiaozhou said, "You want to take us to find that treasure together?" Nalan nodded. Xie Jiong said: "She is still telling bad jokes, she has read too many books on tomb robbery. Really, don't make fun of us. How can there be such a person who has a lot of wealth that he doesn't own, but has a group of people to divide it equally? Besides, you are not afraid that we will have evil thoughts and force you to hand over the treasure map, and then silence it, and so on." Nalan smiled and said: "If you really have this idea, will you say so? Boyan treasure is hidden at the bottom of Zhaoyang Lake. To be honest, I have a picture, but I can't find it... The marking on the picture is not accurate, and , the underwater terrain of Zhaoyang Lake near the island in the center of the lake is particularly complicated, with overgrown water plants and hidden reefs everywhere. Once I was entangled in water plants and almost killed me. I almost couldn’t come to drink Coke with you today. So, I need A few more pairs of eyes, a few more intelligent minds, and a few people to make a fortune with. One thing you have to believe, as long as you find a small part of the treasure, you don’t have to work for the capitalists for the rest of your life.” Bi Xiaozhou asked: "To tell you the truth, it's not a day or two since I heard the legend of this treasure. There were people who looked for it according to the map that I don't know where they got it, but it seems that no one made a fortune." "Maybe they didn't use the correct map. Of course, I can only assume that I have the correct map." Nalan knew that what he had was just a map. Just being torn to pieces in the scramble between you and me.It didn't matter if it was a treasure map or not, it didn't even matter if she had the map or not, the map was just a prop in her plan. "Well, assuming you got the correct map, what are your specific plans?" Bi Xiaozhou asked. "First of all, it is necessary to keep it secret. Although I need the cooperation of manpower, I don't need half of Jiangjing City to carve it up. There are only a few of us here, and none of us are professional treasure hunters, so we will use our spare time on weekends to go to Zhaoyang first. Train near the lake, and get familiar with the underwater terrain by the way to reduce the chance of accidents. When you are almost ready, find a night with good weather to formally cooperate in the treasure hunt, and lift up every stone near the suspicious area marked on the map " Nalan suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked knowingly, "I forgot to ask you, are you interested?" Another guy said, "Look, this is the real bad joke, we have nothing to lose, if we don't find any treasure, at least it's good practice diving." Xie Jiong asked: "But I don't understand why you didn't look for someone near Zhaoyang Lake, but instead looked for us by the river..." Nalan said: "You old Jiangjing must know that although Qing'an River and Zhaoyang Lake are connected, the lakeside and the riverside are like two worlds. If I look for someone near Zhaoyang Lake, the people by the lake and the lake The people around are always mixed together, and the news will spread all over the lake immediately, and there will definitely be millions of soldiers coming to hunt for treasures." "So, the few of us must keep our mouths shut." Xie Jiong concluded. "But one thing, we must be mentally prepared, that is, no matter how much we keep secrets, there is no impenetrable wall. If others find out, we still have the risk of being attacked by others, or even appear You should think about the situation of Xie Jiong's pseudonym." Nalan said, hoping that everyone present understands the consequences of "beating, killing and killing". Bi Xiaozhou asked the question he wanted to ask a long time ago: "If a blind cat kills a mouse and we find the treasure, what should we do?" Nalan said: "There are six people at this table, that is, the six people will share equally." Everyone didn't seem to believe Nalan's coolness, so naturally no one objected, but they all looked at Nalan with strange eyes. "And, I even thought of a name for our small group, called 'Taobao Group'."
