Big Islander 2

Chapter 211 The Brave Gold Digger
The crowd finally dispersed, leaving only Tang Jide and Xiao Zhengtai's family.The middle-aged man held Tang Datou's hand again: "Mr. Tang, Little Jerry would like to invite you to our house as a guest. By the way, you can call me Spencer, and my wife's name is Martha."

It was only at this time that he remembered to introduce the name. It can be seen that this matter was ups and downs, and he was not given extra time to think and prepare.But what Tang Jide wanted was this suddenness, otherwise, such a miracle would not have happened to Little Jerry.

Seeing Little Xiami holding Little Jerry's hand, strolling along the river like the two young ladies, Tang Jide felt warm in his heart, and then nodded: "I see that the little guy hits it off with me very well. , I like to be shirtless, hahaha!"

"Then you can accept him as your apprentice. Anyway, one sheep can be herded, and two sheep can be herded. Big head, you have two apprentices." The pheasant hoped to cause some trouble for the big head, and took a little boy by his side. It must be busy.

But Tang Jide shook his head. In essence, Peach Blossom Island and the United States are bound to be on opposite sides, so he doesn't want to cause trouble to the Spencer family.Even going to his house as a guest, the big brother was a little hesitant.

Just at this time, Xiao Xiami received a call from Fermi. If it wasn't for the news about the pheasant and Daxing making trouble at the airport, Fermi would not have known that they had arrived in New York.

So he asked Fermi to say hello to the receptionist at the hotel, and Tang Jide and his party went for a walk to Spencer's house.The ugly duckling could not be found anywhere, so Spencer asked, "What about the bald eagle, I must prepare a few extra pounds of beef for it today!"

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head, guessing that the ugly duckling was hundreds of miles away now, and he was afraid that he would not be able to eat beef, so he said: "It is on a mission again, and our octopus soldiers on Peach Blossom Island need it to lead the way to find New York Harbor. Never been here before."

"Is it that magical octopus salvage team?" Spencer was obviously a little excited. After seeing Tang Jide nodding his head, his eyes became even hotter: "Actually, I am also a free ocean treasure hunter."

The profession of marine treasure hunters quickly became popular after the Fermi family discovered a sunken ship worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Especially the adventurous Americans, are never tired of it.

No wonder you know about the octopus salvage team. You must know that only some professionals and those countries that have sunken ships to salvage will pay attention to this amazing salvage team.

"There must be a lot of gains in these years, right?" Big Brother asked casually.

Spencer shook his head: "I've been looking for the steamer China America, but unfortunately, so far, I haven't found any trace of it on the bottom of the sea."

"Is it the legendary California gold treasure?" When Brother Big Tou was in Paradise Island, he also heard the captain talk about the famous shipwrecks in the Caribbean Sea, including the Zhongmei ship.At that time, gold mines were discovered in the California area, and countless people came here with dreams of gold mining. After eight years of hard work, in 1857, they returned home on the steamship Zhongmei.When traveling to the waters of Panama, encountered a hurricane, those gold diggers died in the sea with the gold they carried.

Because the specific location of the sunken ship has not been found, and more than 100 years have passed, the sunken ship has long been covered by sand, so the difficulty of finding it is not ordinary, and it is normal that Spencer has not found anything.

The two of them walked and talked, while Xiami held Jerry's little hand and walked in front.Perhaps it was the first time to experience the joy of walking, but Jerry looked very excited, jumping up and down all the way, like a cheerful little rabbit.

"This kid, maybe it's another Forrest Gump." The pheasant muttered beside it. It had watched the movie Forrest Gump, and remembered that Forrest Gump had walking disabilities when he was a child. Later, when he was chased by someone, he finally started running on his own.This run never stopped.In fact, think about it, isn’t life a long race——

Jerry's mother was a little worried at first, afraid that the little one would be tired.But after seeing his growing energy, he was relieved.She didn't know that Xiao Xiami held Jerry's little hand all the way, of course it wasn't Bai's.

After walking for about 10 minutes, I entered an apartment that was in disrepair.Spencer's house was on the second floor, and when he opened the door, a pit bull terrier rushed out of the room, rushing directly in front of Jerry, with an affectionate and excited expression.

This is a white bull terrier, but there is a large black spot around the right eye, as if it was punched by someone, and the eye sockets are blue, which looks very funny.But if you despise or tease bull terriers because of this, it is a big mistake. You must know that these guys are full of fighting spirit and have an amazing bite force. Many bull terriers bite or even kill children every year. Therefore, in the United States, Many places have strict regulations on keeping bull terriers.So if you see a pit bull terrier with a bit on its mouth on the street, it's definitely not nonsense.

"Damn, black eyes and blue eyes!" The pheasant squatted on Tang Jide's shoulders, so he was not afraid. Although his mouth was a bit damaged, he was quite image.

"Barty, there's a guest here." Spencer called the bull terrier, but the guy ignored him and just circled around Jerry, whining incessantly. .

Jerry stood up shoulder-to-shoulder with the bull terrier, and kept patting Batty's back with his little hands. The two of them basically grew up together, so they had a very good relationship.Obviously, Batty also discovered something.The little friend who could only crawl on the ground suddenly stood up, making him very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, the pheasant couldn't help but quack a few times: "Wu Yanqing must be a little confused, this stupid dog, stupid dog."

Probably also felt the pheasant's ridicule, or its voice was annoying, Batty instantly showed a fierce look, ready to pounce, fully demonstrating the fierceness of a bull terrier.

But it was quickly hugged by Jerry's neck, and then fell obediently on the ground, while Jerry climbed onto its back, and was carried into the house by Batty.

"Barty has to carry Jerry around every day." Spencer's tone was full of pride and relief.

Now even the pheasant has to admit: Wu Yanqing is indeed a good dog.

Entering the house, the furnishings are relatively simple. It can be seen that this family is not that rich.Even in a world capital like New York, not all the people living in it are rich.

But it feels very warm and homely. After sitting on the sofa, Martha brought drinks and fruit, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Tang Jide was not too polite, and after throwing an apple to Da Xing, he picked it up and gnawed it himself; while Batty gallantly ran around the rooms with Jerry on his back, and after a while, the passengers changed to another Shrimp.

This also made Spencer secretly amazed, you know, no one else would want to be so close to Batty, not even their husband and wife.

Before seven o'clock, dinner officially began.This was definitely an unusual dinner. It was the first time for Jerry to sit upright at the dining table, with the little shrimp on the left and the big star and pheasant on the right.Compared with the serious Jerry, Daxing and Pheasant are not safe customers.

But Batty is not eligible to serve on the dining table, but there are already ham and roasted pork chops in his food bowl, and he ate them.

Dinner is still very rich, first serve a thick soup, the main course has steak, fried shrimp, ham, and of course vegetables and bread and butter are indispensable.It was the first time to taste the dinner of ordinary people in the United States. Tang Jide and the others were quite satisfied.He feels that no matter which country he is in, family banquets can create a warm atmosphere, and this is what he likes.

While drinking coffee, Spencer suddenly made a request: "Don, can you ask your octopus salvage team to help me find the California gold treasure?"

Although this proposal was a bit abrupt, Tang Datou still nodded: "No problem, according to the rules of Taohua Island, the salvaged property is divided in half."

Spencer shook his head. "What I need is gratuitous assistance."

This request seems a little too much——Tang Jide scratched the back of his head, and really complied with the sentence: There is no free dinner in the world.

At this time, Spencer moved out a large box, then took out a photo album from it, and presented an old yellowed photo in front of Tang Jide.The photos are too old, and the images on them are somewhat mottled and blurred, but it can still be seen that there are some women and children on them.

"This is my great-great-grandfather, and he was on the China-American steamship." Spencer pointed to the child in the arms of a woman, with a heavy expression on his face.

"Didn't you die on the bottom of the sea with the steamboat, so you salvage this sunken ship and look for the remains of your ancestors?" Yeji interjected, but was despised by Tang Datou: If his great-great-grandfather drowned, then why? There might be Mr. Spencer—

Spencer then narrated a history that had been dusty for many years. At that time, there were 750 passengers on the steamship Mid-American. In addition to the gold diggers, there were also their families.After encountering a hurricane, the sails were blown off and the boiler was turned off. Knowing that the sinking of the ship was inevitable, a self-rescue team was formed and all the women and children on board were sent to lifeboats.As a result, all the women and children on board were rescued, while 423 gold diggers were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Even Jerry, lying on his father's lap, listened carefully to this tragic and tragic story.And Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami paid tribute to those brave gold diggers in their hearts.

"So I must work hard to find the California gold treasure, and then return the gold on board to their descendants, of course, including my share. If you are willing to help me, then this gold I will It will be given to Peach Blossom Island. As for the others, I have no right to use it." Spencer looked straight into Tang Jide's eyes, his eyes were full of expectation.

Tang Jide smacked his lips, his lips were a little dry, so he took a sip of coffee: "Although the octopus salvage team in Peach Blossom Island is very busy now, and the income is also high. But we don't mind helping you once for free, or to help those Brave gold diggers fulfill their long-cherished dreams."

"Big head, you can't do business at a loss!" Pheasant saw that Tang Jide had been given the ecstasy soup, and immediately reminded him loudly, which caused the bull terrier lying under Xiao Xiami's feet to yell at him several times.

Tang Jide chuckled twice: "Some things are much more valuable than gold—"
