V4C131 – Toy Agency (Unedited) (2/2)
“That’s how it appears to be! This was something from more than a decade ago. Even if there was a treasure, it should have been discovered by someone!” Wu YingYing nodded, “If you are not at ease, you can ask my father about it!”
“Ask your father? Didn’t you say it was confidential? Your dad got angry at you because of this map, and you want me to ask him?” I asked strangely.
“Ah, how can you be so stupid? It’s as you said, this is a treasure map! And you also said, it’s a treasure that might have already been taken away, this is a matter from 10 years ago! This map can be nothing but ordinary! A secret map without a treasure is no secret map!” Wu YingYing said.
Right! I smacked my forehead and said, “That’s true! It was a secret at that time, but it’s not necessary that it will still be a secret! I didn’t even think of that! I will ask him lest it weighs on my heart forever! Whether there was a treasure or not, so long as I can confirm it, I will be able to feel at ease!”
“I had also thought about this matter for a lot of time yesterday! Therefore, there’s no need for you to be embarrassed!” Wu YingYing said.
I realized that every time Wu YingYing analyzed a matter, she would be very systematic and clear about it. Her calm and brilliant display when doing something gave off a feeling of a mature and experienced woman. She was just like a different person, with the disposition of a fairy! Could it be possible that I picked up a treasure?
At noon, Uncle Wu asked his subordinates to arrange the meal. The meal was all made by the military canteen. Its style was ordinary, but the nutritional mix was very good. The meal was also very delicious. Because of my arrival, Uncle Wu specially arranged a few special dishes for me.
“I can’t afford to have a mountain of delicacies and can only ask you to have a simple meal!” Uncle Wu said with a smile.
I know that many army cadres are incorruptible, so I didn’t mind his words. What does a mountain of delicacies matter, only meals cooked at home are worth eating!
“Uncle Wu, there’s no need to be so humble, I think this is already very good!” I said, “In fact, I believe that all these dishes will be more than enough to eat to our fill!”
“Good! Home cooked dishes and rice are obviously the most delicious. And together with this Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber, it will be enough to fill our stomachs!” Uncle Wu nodded in agreement.
Since there was no alcohol during the meal, everyone ate to their fill. After letting the servicemen clean the table, the three of us sat on the sofa to rest.
“Uncle Wu, I want to ask you something!” I took the sheepskin roll from my coat, “Do you about the place marked above this map?”
“What’s the matter… Oh, what kind of map is this? Why do I feel as if I have seen it? It’s just like a map from the past?” Uncle Wu took the sheepskin roll over from me and joked, “Is this some kind of a treasure map? Aren’t you afraid that I will take it under my possession?”
“Haha, look at what you are talking about? If you lack money, YingYing and I will give you all you want as filial piety! What need would you have to go treasure hunting?” I said with a smile.
Uncle Wu opened the sheepskin roll and looked at it. The more he looked, the more dignified his appearance became as he frowned and didn’t say anything for a while.
Looking at his appearance, my heart was getting more and more anxious. Could it be that the treasure buried there hadn’t yet been taken out?
“Little Liu, where did you find this map?” Uncle Wu asked very seriously.
“I inherited this map. What happened, is there any issue Uncle Wu?” Liu Zhenhai gave it to me, so it could be said that I inherited it, right? Therefore, I wasn’t lying to him.
“Death Valley… True, that place is really a valley of death!” Uncle Wu muttered what he was thinking, “Little Liu, this isn’t any map to a treasure. You must never go to that place!”
“Not a treasure map? Is there anything wrong about the location marked above the map?” I asked strangely.
