Meow Ba

Chapter 395 Treasure Map

The small note is very old and soft, but it is made of an uncommon material in the United States. Even Ron checked it several times before confirming that it is a piece of old rice paper.

This is the traditional calligraphy and painting paper of the Dragon Kingdom, and it is also the paper created by papermaking, one of the four great inventions of the Dragon Kingdom. Because it was first produced in the Xuanzhou area of ​​Jing County in the Tang Dynasty, it was named Xuan paper.

The manufacturing history of Xuan paper has been more than 1500 years so far. The best raw materials of Xuan paper are green sandalwood bark and straw, and Yang Teng peach juice is used as a stretching agent.

According to the processing technology, Xuan paper is divided into raw paper and processed paper.According to the degree of ink staining on the paper, it is divided into raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan.According to the proportion of raw materials, it is divided into three categories: cotton material, clean leather and special clean leather.

In the modern Dragon Kingdom, one knife (one hundred sheets) of high-quality super clean leather rice paper is worth tens of thousands of dragon coins, which is more than five thousand dollars when converted into US dollars.

For one-knife old paper, many masters of calligraphy and painting in Longguo will have their eyes glowing, and they will exchange their own calligraphy and painting, and many wealthy people will buy old rice paper everywhere, so as to obtain the calligraphy and painting masters of calligraphy and painting masters.

Why is good rice paper so popular?
This is because good rice paper is easy to store, not brittle, not faded, has a long shelf life, and has the reputation of paper longevity for thousands of years.

Scientists once collected calligraphy and painting paper and rice paper from various countries for aging tests - other calligraphy and painting papers were cracked and dusted in about 400 years, but rice paper persisted until more than 1000 years before it began to crack.

…………

Back on the sofa, with just a light stroke of the claws, the old rice paper that was originally a ball turned into a flat piece, and then a few lifelike river prawns suddenly jumped into Ron's eyes.

"hiss!"

Even though he was a cat, Ron still gasped involuntarily, and his furry paws softened immediately, and he only dared to touch the paper with his meat pads—even though the old rice paper was very small, it could be stretched out even if it was spread out. It is less than a foot long, and there is no seal or signature on it, but the ink-stained river prawns on this rice paper are probably the most precious objects other than life that Ron has come into contact with in his two lifetimes.

Because, it is very likely that this is the work of Qi Baishi, a great painter who has passed away in Longguo.

And if it is calculated in terms of money—Ron vaguely remembers that the most valuable set of works set a world record for the auction of Longguo calligraphy and painting artworks, and the final auction price was [-] million dragon coins. [-] million.

Although the painting under Ron's claws is very small at the moment, only two river prawns, but if it is really Qi Baishi's authentic work, then millions of dollars cannot be lost!
"Meow~"

get rich~ get rich~
Squatting up on the sofa, Ron rubbed his paws excitedly, carefully admiring the paintings on the old rice paper, the more he looked at them, the more vivid they seemed, vivid and full of vitality.

The body of the shrimp is soaked in rice paper with light ink, making the body appear crystal clear. The eyes and head are made of thick ink, which is more three-dimensional and more dynamic than the thick ink. With the slender shrimp whiskers and shrimp claws, it seems that there are really a pair of shrimp Swim in the transparent water of rice paper.

However, looking at it, Luo Ren suddenly found that there seemed to be something on the back of the rice paper.

Turning the painting over, Ron saw a string of English and a bunch of zigzag lines in the corner.

And the meaning of that string of English is translated——

Want my treasure?
Go on!

I put everything there!

…………

"..."

Is today my lucky day?
Not only got Qi Baishi's painting, but also a treasure map?

The two bombs in a row made Ron a little overwhelmed. Facing the sunlight outside the window, Ron was about to take a break.

Then, in bright sunshine, a giant bald eagle flew out of the sun, growing bigger and bigger, before finally landing on the Diesel family's lawn.

"Kang ku ku ku~"

Why are you in a daze?
Excited to see the senior brother coming?
Jumping up the steps, pecking at the floor-to-ceiling windows—it’s been months since I’ve seen each other, and my fifth senior brother, Bald Eagle Laobai, has become more and more proficient in typing Morse code, and there is a sense of rhythm of big pigs and small pigs falling on a jade plate.

"Clap clap clap~"

Of course I'm excited, I'm dumbfounded~
Senior brother is so free today to see the younger brother?

Re-rolled the old rice paper, jumped onto the cat climbing frame, and stuffed it carefully into the cat's litter box—although it could no longer bear Ron's weight, it was still okay to hide something—Ron jumped down, opened the door, walked to Beside Lao Bai, he patted the floor with his paws and answered.

"Kang ku ku ku~"

It has been several months since I came back from Yellowstone Park~
I'm a little bored, I want to go play with the big brother~
"..."

Big Brother!
Isn't that in Siberia?
Hearing Lao Bai's words, Ron was stunned, and immediately recalled the memory from his mind-the eldest brother Persimmon is a Siberian tiger, living in Siberia, powerful in force, able to hunt polar bears, but his favorite food is ginseng;

The most important thing is that if you want to reach Siberia from Los Angeles, you must pass through several countries-the United States, Canada, and cross the Bering Strait before you can reach the Siberian wilderness.

Moreover, the area of ​​the Siberian wasteland is not comparable to a small Yellowstone Park. How did Lao Bai find the big brother?
"Kang ku ku ku~"

Seventh Junior Brother, are you interested in going to see Senior Brother with me?

"..."

Across half a continent to visit relatives?
forget it~
Lao Bai may not have much concept of distance, but Ron does.

Although he and Lao Bai traveled across the United States to New York, the distance of [-] kilometers that time could not be compared with this time.

However, for some reason, Ron had a faint urge to travel far.

"Meow~"

I need to think about it~
I will give you an answer tomorrow~
"Quack~"

ok~
The wind blew up, flapping its wings, Lao Bai went back to his nest first.

Ron nestled in the blazing sun, thinking quietly, until Catherine and Molly got off the taxi talking and laughing, and embraced Ron excitedly.

"Hey Tangerine, guess how much we sold our Polaris mountain bike for?"

"Fifteen thousand dollars!"

"Before that car logo was sold, we have recovered the last investment."

"..."

The excited girls couldn't finish talking, and Ron broke free from Catherine's arms when she got tired of talking, and put the Rolls-Royce logo and the ball of old rice paper in front of them.

"Meow~"

"I don't know how much the Rolls-Royce logo can sell for~"

"However, the most valuable thing in this trip is this piece of paper~"

Using the clipboard to write out his thoughts, Ron watched with satisfaction as Catherine and Molly opened their mouths wider and wider.

"When Lorraine comes back, let him contact Miss Catherine~"

"Maybe there will be other gains~"

"Of course you can also find information online~"

After finding something to do for the girls, Ron enjoyed the warmth of Diesel's house for another day. The next morning, Ron boarded the old white-brand private jet again to start a new journey.
