I didn't tell Bai Mudan that the treasure had been brought back by me. So far, no one knows that the little stone fish I released is fake.
Including the man who claimed to be a descendant of the Dragon King.
Bai Mudan said that the man was also on Lu Youkang's boat.
He selected Lu Youkang as a partner and placed his bet on Lu Youkang.
They were destined to return empty-handed from this trip.
Bai Mudan felt completely relieved when she learned that there was a strange thing on the island that could resist all outsiders.
I invited two aunts to help her take care of her children and life. There was no shortage of food and drink on the island, and she became much more mellow after living there for a few days.
Bai Mudan said that Zhuzhu's life was saved by me, and she wanted her to recognize me as her godmother.
She had been taught since she was a child that her children had always called their mother mother and had no chance to call them mother, so they simply skipped the word "do" and just let Zhuzhu call me mother.
I like Zhuzhu very much. She is different from the babies in my impression. She rarely cries, but she is healthy. She is not unusually quiet because she is born weak.
She doesn’t cry when no one hugs her, and she still smiles at me when I change her.
Since I have adopted her as my goddaughter, I, as a mother, must express my gratitude.
I personally knitted a red rope bracelet and woven a small gold bead into it.
In the blink of an eye, the child's hundred days passed, and the hundred-day banquet was held on the island. Behind closed doors, people we knew were very lively.
Bai Mudan was thinking about Lu Youkang, and her sleep and appetite had been much worse recently.
She got very angry, so I had to find a nurse for Zhuzhu.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhu is not picky, has a strong mouth and a big heart, and has a great body.
I can treat physical illnesses, but heart illnesses can only be cured by heart medicine. Bai Mudan began to run to the dock every day to wait for news.
After the hundred-day banquet and another half month later, news finally came back from the shore saying that Lu Youkang's ship had docked.
Bai Mudan cried with joy and hurriedly took her children to find him.
Zhuzhu was still young, so it was hard work on the boat. Bai Mudan was afraid that she would get sick from the torment, so after she calmed down, she decided to leave Zhuzhu on the island first.
As long as Zhuzhu has either me or Bai Mudan by her side, she won't cry.
I originally wanted to send her back to the shore myself, so I had to send Wen Mian to see her off.
Yunzhou was also on the shore and did not return to the island. I sent him a secret message and asked him to help look after Lu Youkang and Bai Mudan.
Lu Youkang must have returned empty-handed this time, but people waiting to pick up ready-made items on the shore may not believe him.
Even if he believed it, he might get angry and kill him.
I asked Wen Mian to help me secretly, and I would not show my face if I could.
Lu Youkang is no longer the happy young man he once was, and his perspective on helping may have changed.
After talking with Bai Mudan, I felt that Lu Youkang was at a stage where his self-esteem was extremely sensitive.
Even if you offer help with good intentions, you may step into his minefield.
"boss."
After Bai Mudan and Wen Mian left, Nan San came to report to me at night.
In the dead of night, she didn't go through the front door but through the window. She looked like a nimble black cat and landed quietly.
Zhuzhu smacked her lips in her sleep and did not wake up.
After Bai Mudan left, I stayed in the courtyard to take care of Zhuzhu. As long as she could see me when she opened her eyes, she should eat, drink and sleep.
"Just tell me." I glanced at my eyes. She was sleeping soundly and she probably wouldn't be woken up.
Nan San lowered his voice and whispered in my ear.
She stared at the people who wanted to pick up the ready-made goods on the shore. As soon as Lu Youkang's boat docked, some people couldn't sit still.
"The Iron Dan Alliance made the first move, and the Sea Rat Gang dug holes in the bottom of the ship..."
Nan San recounted everything that happened after Lu Youkang's ship docked.
Those who were eager to share the treasure certainly did not find what they wanted.
Lu Youkang had a disagreement with the descendants of the Dragon King. The descendants of the Dragon King believed that Lu Youkang was useless. The sea area was extremely deep and the people Lu Youkang brought could not dive down.
In fact, let alone Lu Youkang, anyone else would not be able to dive to the bottom of the sea.
That is a depth that even modern military submarines cannot dive to. It is the 'Abyss of the Sea' that I found from ancient legends.
Legend describes it as being like a giant eye on the bottom of the sea, with pupils that are bottomless.
I wrote these coordinates just to prevent someone from going down and finding nothing on the bottom of the sea. I am 100% sure that the coordinates are false.
Because they couldn't get down to this place, they couldn't verify the authenticity.
However, Lu Youkang didn't think it was his problem. He questioned the strength of the Crooked Dragon King. If no one can dive now, it means that neither can the Crooked Dragon King.
He suspected that the Dragon King had deceived everyone and that the treasure did not exist at all.
The descendants of the Dragon King had no doubts about the strength of their 'ancestors'. He reminded Lu Youkang that the reason why the Dragon King dared to put the treasure into the sea was because he was the king of the sea.
The Crooked Dragon King indeed has many adventure stories handed down. He relied on his superb sea exploration ability to fish for treasure in the sea.
There is no sea area that he cannot go to, and there is no seabed that he cannot dive into. The sea is just like his home, where he can come and go as he pleases.
Lu Youkang also knew these legends. Whether he believed them or not, no one could confirm them.
The descendant of the Dragon King insisted that his ancestors could go into the abyss of the sea to hide treasures, but Lu Youkang was incapable of getting the treasures.
The descendants of the Dragon King decided to terminate their cooperation with him and find another partner.
Once you go there, the specific coordinates are no longer a secret.
Lu Youkang denounced the descendants of the Dragon King for being dishonest. Since they are cooperating, they should give the partners a chance to try again. If this group of sailors is not good, just replace them with another group.
However, the descendant of the Dragon King did not give him a second chance and gave up cooperation directly.
They quarreled fiercely and finally broke up.
Many people heard their quarrel, and the news spread quickly.
Some people believed that they had failed, while others did not believe that they were putting on a show to confuse everyone and stop paying attention to them, so they would go back and form a new team to smuggle the treasure back.
"The news that Lu Youkang lost his wife and children at sea has spread, and more people believe that he really failed."
"Now that Bai Mudan and Zhuzhu are not dead, I'm afraid more people will believe in conspiracy theories."
"What other instructions does the boss have?"
"No, just rest."
The secret guards of the Southern Subdivision took turns going out to help me collect intelligence. They were considered to be on a business trip when they were out, and they could take two days off when they came back.
Nan San jumped out of the window again like a cat and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I was left in the room to continue thinking, and I vaguely felt that it was not the right time for Bai Mudan to go back.
People who believe that Lu Youkang did not find the treasure do so because they believe that he would not kill his wife and children just for the sake of acting.
At this time, Bai Mudan appeared unscathed and told everyone that she and the child were fine, that she had gained some weight, and that her energy had obviously improved.
To say that she was not prepared in advance, she was just lucky. She could not die after falling into the water, and she also gained weight. I am afraid not many people would believe it.
Sure enough, how did Bai Mudan go and how did she come back?
Wen Mian escorted her back and forth and returned her to the small courtyard.
When she came back, it was dinner time. She was worried and put down her chopsticks after only two bites.
Wen Mian called me outside the door and told me in a low voice that it was Lu Youkang who persuaded her to come back. The reason was the same as what I thought. Lu Youkang was suffering miserably because of the loss of his wife and children. If Bai Mudan and her children showed up at this time, he would There will be more enemies.
He didn't mean it all for himself. Zhuzhu was still young and he couldn't block all the enemy's overt and covert attacks. It was safer for her and her child to stay on the island than to follow him.
