Zhu Yu didn't know that he avoided selling the extra gold out of caution. At this moment, he was looking at his collection in the yard of a bearded middle-aged white man.
Looking at these things, Zhu Yu frowned a little deeply.
More than 90% of the things here are playground toys.
And it’s an old-fashioned playground toy from the 1960s and 1970s.
For example, the four old-fashioned bumper cars are actually made of aluminum and are not rusty at all.
But these things are not needed in any playground nowadays.
The carousel is also old-fashioned and is too rusty to turn.
The bearded middle-aged man pointed at the wooden horse and said:
"It's guaranteed to work! As long as the bearings are replaced and cleaned, it will be as good as new!"
Zhu Yu looked at the weeds half a meter deep around the wooden horse frame in silence, thinking that you don't even take care of it yourself, just throw it here like garbage, and ask me to take care of it?
Zhu Yu shook his head and expressed that he was not interested in this Trojan.
Seeing that Zhu Yu planned to leave without buying anything, the bearded white man became a little anxious and said hurriedly:
"Come on, there is another treasure in my treasure room. I think you will be interested!"
Zhu Yu looked at the bearded man named Burqi speaking in a mysterious manner, feeling a little unreliable.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a treasure!" Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't want to go, Burqi became a little anxious. He patted his chest and said, "It's said to be a treasure left by pirates in the 18th century! I've been studying it and haven't figured it out, so I kept it in my hands. It’s of no use…”
Zhu Yu finally went.
The so-called treasure room is actually a sundries warehouse.
Burqi turned on the light, and Zhu Yu saw what was inside and was immediately disappointed.
There are some dismantled metal amusement equipment parts in the warehouse. In the innermost part, there is a one-meter-square iron box.
Burch walked over, moved the debris away, pointed at the iron box and said:
"This is it. I bought it from an old man whose ancestors were pirates. But this box is very strange and cannot be opened at all - even though there is a key."
Zhu Yu saw that the box was surrounded by locks, the kind of hanging iron locks.
There was a huge key tied to the iron lock on the front with a leather cord.
"I tried many times but could not open the box. Later I wanted to cut the lock, but in the end I failed."
Burch patted the box and said:
"This is something left by pirates. There may be treasures left by pirates in it!"
Zhu Yu looked at the big hole on the box that penetrated the front and back, and said with a sneer:
"Can there be treasure hidden in something like this? If there really was something hidden, wouldn't you have opened it long ago?"
Burqi laughed dryly and said nothing.
This Chinese guy is hard to fool!
Zhu Yu opened his eyes and could see that the box was empty.
As for the fact that Burchi can't open the lock, of course it's because this clumsy-looking iron box actually has another mechanism!
"This iron box looks good, please give me a price!"
Burqi thought Zhu Yu had given up, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to buy it and immediately said:
"A thousand dollars! This is an antique!"
Zhu Yu shook his head:
"An empty box, or one with holes, for one thousand dollars? Do you think my money is easy to make? I think you must have made an offer to more than one person. It is impossible for others to sell it to you for one thousand dollars, right? ?”
Burqi's face turned red when he was told something that was on his mind, and he said:
"Then...nine hundred dollars, no less!"
Zhu Yu shook his head.
"Eight hundred and fifty dollars, no less! I won't sell it for any less!"
Zhu Yu shook his head again.
"Eight hundred dollars! Eight hundred dollars!" Burch said almost through gritted teeth, "If it's any less, I really won't sell it!"
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Let's do this. I'll pay you a thousand dollars..."
"Really?" Burqi's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
"But the four old-fashioned bumper cars outside, plus this box, total a thousand dollars!"
Burge thought for a moment and agreed.
No one wanted those four old bumper cars, so now they can be sold for only $200.
Burqi pushed the cart and helped Zhu Yu load the box and four bumper cars into the pickup truck. Zhu Yu paid the money, waved goodbye and left.
"Introduce a few more friends here when you have time!" Burqi shouted while counting the bills, "I will buy some good stuff here later!"
Zhu Yu stretched out his hand out of the car window and waved it, but did not reply.
When the car drove to a deserted area, Zhu Yu pulled over, got out of the car, and went to the back compartment to carefully observe the pirate treasure box.
Of course there is nothing in the treasure chest, or in other words, it is actually a large old-fashioned safe.
There is indeed nothing in the cupboard.
Burch couldn't open the cabinet because the door wasn't on the side.
The locks on the sides are for decoration and deceiving.
Zhu Yu's eyes could see the mechanical structure inside. He slowly groped on the lid of the box and found a small gap.
Use the knife you brought with you to gently pry along the gap, and then forcefully pry open an iron plate.
Under the iron plate, there is a keyhole!
It just corresponds to that huge key!
Zhu Yu untied the leather cord and took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, tried it left and right, and then turned it to the right. Hearing a squeaking sound, the mechanical structure inside changed and the lock was opened!
Opening the lid of the box, Zhu Yu saw that it was empty, but he was not disappointed.
His eyes fell on the inside of the box lid. There is an old piece of old paper attached to the inside, which has been torn off in half. There is nothing special about it.
Zhu Yu carefully peeled off the remaining half of the paper. The traces of the iron plate under the paper are slightly different.
Looking carefully, there is a very small gap here.
Zhu Yu took out the knife again and gently pried it along the gap.
After tinkering for a long time, he finally pried it open a little. Zhu Yu used his hands to break open the iron piece.
There was a sandwich inside, and Zhu Yu slowly picked up a thin oil paper bag with a knife.
Open the oil paper bag, and inside is a piece of folded parchment paper.
Zhu Yu carefully opened the parchment and saw lines, dots, irregular blocks, and a sun drawn on it.
map!
Are the lines coastlines?
Is Dot an island?
Does the sun show the direction?
So does the gold coin pattern in the middle of the map mean there is a treasure there?
Zhu Yu's heart was beating fast!
It’s a bit magical!
Nowadays, it’s possible to get a pirate’s treasure map?
seriously?
After calming down, Zhu Yu put the original map into the oil paper bag and put it in his pocket, then closed the iron cabinet, took off the key, and drove to Smith's second-hand shopping mall.
Smith should be interested in this stuff, right?
