Half an hour later, with everyone digging desperately, a large pit more than one person deep had appeared next to the Eagle Cross. Shovels and pickaxes were flying around, and loose soil was being thrown to the edge of the pit. !
"Guys, there seems to be something wrong with this!" After working hard for a long time, Guan Heng suddenly stopped digging. He held the pickaxe handle with both hands and said to everyone: "I think it is unlikely that the treasure is here, because if Sir If he is taken back to the country, he will definitely take the treasure with him and will never bury it under the cross!"
"Uh, well..." Upon hearing this, Tintin, Qin'er and Captain Haddock all stopped their excavation work. They all frowned. Captain Haddock muttered in a low voice: " Guan Heng is right, if it were me, I would directly transport the treasure back to the country by sea ship, only a fool would go through an extra procedure and bury it on a small island!"
"Ah? Is that so?" The faces of the Dupont brothers changed drastically at this time, and they looked at Professor Calculus with something wrong!
"Hey, it's all Professor's fault. We found a wooden cross on the island and made all our efforts here in vain!"
"That's right, maybe the treasure is still lying in the sunken ship of the Unicorn!"
"Damn deaf guy!!" Infuriated by the Dupont brothers' words, the captain threw down the shovel in his hand and yelled at the professor: "It's all because of you. You found this broken wooden pile on the island and caused us to have trouble here. I’m covered in stinky sweat and still get nothing!”
"That's enough, I've had enough! Bang -" Extremely angry and exhausted, Captain Haddock flew up in anger and kicked a stone in front of him far away!
After kicking the stones, Haddock walked into the woods angrily: "Humph, I have to smoke my pipe, the damn weather is starting to get hot again!"
"Captain! Don't be impulsive and angry!" Tintin put down his pickaxe and shouted at his back.
Ding Ding then said to Guan Heng: "Look, what should we do now?"
"We still don't know what other people think. Look at the captain. He is determined to return to the Sirius!" Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and smiled: "Hey, it's been a waste of work. I'm so tired that my back aches. Let's Rest here for a few minutes, wait for the captain to finish smoking his pipe, and let’s all return together!”
Everyone nodded in agreement and sat on the ground beside the pit, drinking water and eating solid food. A few minutes later, everyone, led by the captain who was still angry, was preparing to go through the dense forest and return to the shoal where the sampan boat was docked.
At this moment, Captain Haddock suddenly realized that the number of people was wrong. He shouted impatiently: "Where have those unlucky conjoined twin brothers gone? Damn it! My treasure hunting team is either deaf or stupid. No wonder So far I’ve found nothing!”
"Dupont, Dupont, for God's sake, you two idiots should answer this!" The captain frowned and glared, clasped his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "Where are you?"
Haddock shouted several times, but no one answered, "Damn it!" the captain muttered, sitting angrily on a tree stump and holding up his chin: "These two unlucky guys, I really want to leave them to die! "
"Captain, don't be angry!" Guan Heng comforted Haddock, then he played the piano and hooked his fingers at Tintin: "Let's go and look for it, there are no wild beasts in this forest." They will attack the lost Dupont brothers, so we need to find them back quickly!"
So, the three people sprinkled some spray on their bodies to prevent itching from tropical poisonous mosquitoes, and then went deep into the jungle to look for the DuPont brothers!
"Hey, where have everyone else gone?" At this moment, Professor Calculus, who was walking slowly, walked up to Captain Haddock.
"Well, they went to the woods to the west, trying to find two lost idiots, the Dupont brothers!" the captain said angrily: "Stop running around, just sit here with me and wait. Let them!"
"Oh, it's the west?! Great! This is exactly the same as my judgment!" The professor took out a detection hammer with a metal wire hanging on it and said with some joy: "Look, this gadget tells me, The treasure we are looking for is to the west!"
"Ahhhh - I really can't stand it!" The captain, who blocked his ears with his hands, had a face full of pain. At this time, where they were, the only sounds left were Haddock's angry roars and the professor's nagging voice. !
When Guan Heng, Qin'er and Ding Ding returned to the Eagle Cross, they saw the Dupont brothers wielding shovels and shoveling the soil. They had almost filled the hole they had just dug!
"Hey, what are you two doing?" Guan Heng was a little curious, so he stepped forward and asked.
"Well, we have to fill the hole we just dug!" Dupont said while lowering his head and shoveling the soil.
"Well, if we leave this big hole open, it will definitely cause unexpected danger to others!" Du Pang also said.
"But what's the point?" Tintin said angrily and funny: "Who on this island would jump into such a big pit with their eyes open..."
"Why not?" Dupont and Dupont raised their heads together, showing their noses and faces were bruised and swollen. They said in unison: "We just took one step and fell into the pit!"
Everyone returned to the Sirius. The captain was suddenly less interested in treasure hunting. He stood on the bow deck and smoked silently. At this time, Guan Heng and Ding Ding walked up to him.
"Hey, you're here... Let's talk about it, are we going to keep searching like this?" Captain Haddock took off the pipe from his mouth and said with a long sigh: "Oh, we lost all our money to rent the Sirius trawler. Yes, although Captain Chester gave me a friendly rent, we can’t continue to spend it like this endlessly!”
"I think so, Captain!" Guan Heng leaned on the railing and hugged his shoulders and said, "Not counting today, we will stay in the waters here for another week. If we still haven't gained anything after seven days, it won't be too late to return by then!"
"Because when I was exploring the sunken ship of the Unicorn at the bottom of the sea, I found that the statue on the bow and some remnants of ancient texts engraved on it are all good things of great historical value!" Guan Heng explained: "If they are collected from the bottom of the sea and preserved, Come down, I think Sir Francis’ spirit in heaven will also be gratified!”
"Well, I also agree with Guan Heng's view!" Ding Ding echoed from the side: "Captain, what do you think? Well, seven days is not a long time, we can still afford the delay!"
"Okay, then it's decided!" After deciding the direction and plan for the next few days, Haddock's mood calmed down a lot. He said softly: "Well, the legacy of our ancestors is also very important, even if it is just a ship's bow Statue, that is something worth preserving and full of commemorative significance!”
