Zhu Yu was walking around, and Martin's satellite phone suddenly rang.
After a few words, Martin said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Brown said that your position has been slowed down, and I hope you can move forward faster. This section has already been searched by others, and there is no need to search again."
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"If you don't want to leave, I will search nearby. I think there may be something to gain."
Martin and Zhu Yu have a good relationship. Seeing as he has made up his mind, he won't say more.
Anyway, treasure hunting is definitely dominated by treasure hunters.
It is against the rules for Brown to overstep his authority in this way.
Zhu Yu was wandering around, the circle getting wider and wider.
With his eyes open, he saw more and more buried things.
Scattered bones, scattered bullet casings, broken household appliances, ruined house foundations, buried cellars...
Looking at the places Zhu Yu turned around, he had already explored them last time and recorded them on the tablet. Mr. Brown also had the original records. He was a little disappointed and simply turned off the electronic tablet and stopped recording.
Otherwise, Brown would call and complain later - even if he knew that Zhu Yu was resting where he was, it would be better than him thinking that Zhu Yu was stubborn.
Zhu Yu suddenly took out a shovel from his backpack and started digging on the ground.
First, he opened up a large piece of dead branches and leaves, then shoveled away the top layer of loose soil, revealing a piece of metal.
Martin hurried over, thinking that Zhu Yu had dug up some treasure.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rusty stirrup.
Zhu Yu threw the things aside, stood up, and continued walking forward.
After taking a few steps, Zhu Yu pulled up on the ground again, and then pulled out another horseshoe.
Next, Zhu Yu successively pulled out a shovel, half a leather boot, a silver coin and other scattered things.
Martin was very excited at first, thinking that Zhu Yu might have found some clues, but then he understood.
There should be a village ruins below. As for why Zhu Yu could be found, Martin didn't ask, and Zhu Yu didn't tell either.
Finally, Zhu Yu stopped what he was doing. He took the silver coin with a corner missing and looked at it carefully.
On the front of the silver coin is a portrait of an Indian, and the words on the back are so blurry that they can't be seen clearly.
He didn't know when the silver coin was from, but Zhu Yu didn't mind it, wiped it, and put it in his pocket.
Martin's satellite phone rang and he answered it.
"Martin, what is Zhu doing?"
"He found the ruins of a village and was looking for something."
"Village ruins? Have you found anything?" Brown was somewhat interested, "Where is it?"
"Not far from the small lake that was once considered White Bird Lake, some remaining iron tools were found, but nothing has been harvested so far."
"Is it a place that has been marked before?" Brown's voice suddenly became stern, "Didn't you remind him?"
"Reminded, Mr. Brown," Martin said a little aggrieved, "but Zhu said he thought there should be something nearby, so he insisted on looking here."
"That's not possible!" Brown said with a bit of force in his tone, "Tell him, if he insists, then someone else will find the treasure and I won't give him severance pay! Let him go there as soon as possible. Look where you have already looked!”
Martin agreed and Brown hung up the phone.
Martin walked over and told Zhu Yu, who was searching, about Brown's decision.
Zhu Yu curled his lips.
This Brown is really a miser, rivaling Grandet!
But I came here not for his $10,000 consolation money, but for 30% of the treasure!
Zhu Yu suddenly wondered, if he found the treasure, would Brown not fulfill the agreement?
With Brown's personality, it is really possible for him to do such a thing!
Zhu Yu slowly walked to the outskirts of the village ruins.
He could already tell that this was a relatively primitive village, with houses built of thatch and mud. There were no stones on the foundations, they were built purely on the ground.
Finally, Zhu Yu found a small cellar on the outskirts of the village.
There were some gold and silverware hidden inside. Zhu Yutian looked down and saw that they were mainly gold sacrificial tools, such as gold statues, gold axes, gold scepters, and some irregular gold nuggets that seemed to have been melted.
Silverware is mainly jewelry and decorative items.
Zhu Yu counted and found that there were more than a hundred items. The value of these items was only a few million US dollars at most, which was still far from hundreds of millions of US dollars!
He remained calm and continued searching.
Sure enough, under another big tree almost two hundred meters away from this cellar, there was another even bigger cellar. This cellar was four or five meters deep from the ground, and the roots of the big tree had penetrated it.
There are hundreds of gold and silverware in the cellar, the largest one is almost as thick as a man and nearly two meters high, a pure gold totem pole!
There are weird patterns on the totem, and the circles of decorations look very mysterious!
Afterwards, there were various golden figures, standing, kneeling, with hands raised, ranging from twenty centimeters to one meter high.
There are also images of some magical animals, including winged leopards, double-headed snakes, various trays...
Zhu Yu understood a little bit. These two cellars are deep enough, and there are some metal fragments nearby to mislead, so although this place has been searched, nothing has been harvested.
Zhu Yu once again expanded the search area until he was almost a kilometer away from here, almost to the White Bird Lake, and once again found pits one by one beside a big tree.
Different from the two neatly buried pits, this pit contained hundreds of gold and silverware buried in a mess, many of which had blood on them.
Many of these gold and silverware were daily necessities, such as saddle decorations, door decorations, etc. They were fragmentary and incomplete, and some had dark brown things on them, which Zhu Yu guessed were blood stains.
After remembering the location, Zhu Yu started to circle around again.
He couldn't figure it out. There were so many "hoards" within a radius of just a few kilometers. Even if the Indians in this village were rich at the time, it would be impossible, right?
Could this village be the heartland of an Indian tribe?
Or are they things sent from other villages to be buried here?
The specific reason is unknown to Zhu Yu.
After turning around for a few more times, until it got dark, Zhu Yu could not find a new treasure hiding spot.
Maybe that's all.
Which one should be reported to Brown?
Although Zhu Yu is not the Holy Mother, the other party has given him clues. If he hides it and does not report it, he will not be able to live with it.
However, Zhu Yu didn't plan to tell Brown everything. Firstly, he couldn't believe him, and secondly, he guessed that part of the wealth should have been stolen by Brown's ancestors.
The other part was supposed to be something the Indians had hidden.
He didn't belong to the Brown family, so Zhu Yu made the choice with peace of mind.
One night passed, and the next day, Zhu Yu had already made up his mind.
