July 12, 1900: I plan to keep a diary, even though I don't know how long I can keep this habit. I learned about the three brothers from a Mexican mouth, and found a newspaper clipping. The back of the newspaper clipping was hand-drawn by a Mexican. The treasure map - if my guess is correct, the treasure map is so detailed! I compared it with my map, and I immediately found the place circled by the red handwriting - Kama The confluence of the Sa River and the Bliss Pond, I am rushing there now, so when you read this diary, the treasure has already been taken away by me.
Upper reaches of Camasa River, northwest of Bliss Pond:
If the treasure has not been touched, it should be here, John thought as he dismounted. He took out the treasure map from the saddle bag and confirmed it again.
The terrain where John is located is a terrace with many exposed rocks. At the foot of the mountain is the Camasa River. Looking along the river is a tranquil lake - the Bliss Pond. The location marked on the treasure map is the entire lookout. There is no difference in altitude, which greatly reduces the difficulty of exploration. However, there are many objects to be explored on this lookout. There may be things buried under the roots of the trees and in the gaps between the rocks. treasure.
"I hope it's still there." With this thought in mind, John spent the whole morning digging tree roots and digging out soil, but he couldn't see the shadow of the treasure, but he unearthed a lot of small insects.
"Could it have been poached a long time ago?" John felt very disappointed. He had no appetite for the pickled venison and lima beans he brought with him. "Could this be a trap? After all, who would put the treasure in such an obvious place? Am I too reckless?" John became more and more discouraged as he thought about it. After a short rest, John continued to search for the treasure. Only in this way can he suppress However, as time went by, John felt that he had fallen into a gambler's mentality, as if he would not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life unless he found this treasure.
John saw an artificial mark on a tree trunk near the cliff, which was a large fork carved with a sharp object. It was like an Indian totem and murmured something. John Coster hoped that this symbol was related to the treasure of the three brothers.
Finally, guided by the symbols and after countless attempts, John found a gold brick and a document under a big stone near the tree. The surface of the gold brick was covered with mud, but its attractive dark yellow color was still visible.
"Holy Lord! Doesn't this make me rich?"
John made an excited gesture to the sky, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. You must know that there is a piece of gold in the west that can buy a luxurious villa and live a life without worries about food and clothing. John put the gold in his shirt pocket, regardless of whether it hurt or not. He held the piece of paper and looked at it again and again, remembering that all the clues about gold were provided on the paper. Isn't it too obvious? ? No matter so much, John thought about reading the paper from beginning to end.
A note from Bennett’s friend:
The Howling Wolf Gang has surrounded us. A month ago, the gang was still discussing how to distribute these assets. I also have a share, but not only this group of people, there are also people who are thinking about these things. Damn it, all of this is... It happened so suddenly. Brother Bennett, I am risking a stray bullet to write you an email now. Think about how to repay me...
They rushed in, and I feel like I'm not going to die soon... But Brother Bennett, don't try to keep this gold for yourself. Even if I die, you won't be able to find where it is hidden, thanks to Nieloni Husband - the honest fat Chechen man you usually laugh at, he suggested hiding the gold in a hard-to-find place. If you want to find it, go to the place where we grew up - the red-roofed and green-walled hut at Horse Palm Lookout. , one day there I caught a glimpse of your mother's body in the bathtub through a crack in the wooden board, and a warmth surged through my heart. From then on, I developed a unique emotion for your mother. Please forgive me, because I was still a young boy at that time...
Your brother McCabe
March 1898
The content of the letter is probably this. John understood that these treasures were not left for him, but for one of the three Bennett brothers. As for who exactly, it is unknown, but what is certain is that Benny Te did not receive this letter, otherwise, would he have left behind such a large gold brick? The place mentioned in the letter - Horseshoe Lookout, John had some impressions of there. He once passed there when he was performing work. From Paradise Pond to Horseshoe Lookout, it almost spanned the entire state of New Hanover, and it was longer than Valentine to Ann. The distance to Nisberg is slightly shorter. John thought for a while and decided to find out the story of the three brothers, which would be regarded as helping Mr. Fowler. After this time, he went to the black market in the town of Lemoyne to sell the gold and cash it in to help Mr. Fowler. After paying the bounty, you can go to Oklahoma to reunite with your wife and children. What a beautiful idea!
John made a plan, and he would be able to reach the Horseshoe Lookout after sunset. "That's it!" John fed the boy some fodder, and the beast would be able to run away...
In the middle of the night, the boy strongly demanded a rest. The horse was panting from exhaustion after a long day of running, but John was only thinking about getting more gold and ignored the boy's protest. The boy shook his head like crazy and almost threw John away. Come down.
"Okay, okay! Child."
John couldn't bear it any longer, so he came down and led the boy along, looking at the map every time he walked. He went back and forth several times, and finally jumped into the dense forest on the roadside at a downhill slope.
The forest was extraordinarily quiet, and the black wood revealed a primitive blue color. Perhaps the pale moonlight only shone on the ground between the gaps of the new leaves, and the surrounding space seemed crowded. John knew that this was not the original form of the wilderness, and that the wilderness should be It's open. Bathed in the depressing fog in the forest, John used binoculars to see several thick tree stumps not far away in the camphor forest. He vaguely saw the shadow of a house. Following the constant croaking of frogs and insects, one person and one horse. Finally came to the red and green hut in the notes.
When John opened the door, a musty smell hit him. It was obvious that no one had been in for a long time. There was no light source in the room except John's revolving lantern. The floor of the room was in disrepair, and riding boots made a clicking sound when stepping on it, like a big rat gnawing at the hard board. There was no other decoration in the room except a bed, a swing-door wardrobe, a large standing cabinet, a fireplace, an iron hoop barrel, a table and five chairs.
"The clue must be in the furniture."
While thinking about it, John rummaged through the cabinets and found the last cabinet with photos of the three Bennett brothers. When he opened the first drawer of the cabinet, he heard footsteps that did not belong to him behind him, and then My forehead felt cold, as if I had been hit by a hard pipe.
"Earl Bennett, don't touch anything in the drawer," a voice said.
