Before Zhu Yu left Shenghai, Xunfeng from Qiankun Auction House called, hoping to buy another sacrifice from Zhu Yu.
However, Zhu Yu refused and directly told Xunfeng that he was gone.
After leaving Shenghai, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and the others back to his hometown, a small county along the 18th line in the northwest.
Although it is an ancient city, like most ancient Chinese cities, there are almost no monuments left in the county.
"You guys are staying in the county hotel. You can wander around and have fun in the surrounding areas." When he arrived at the county, Zhu Yu directly left Ran Jie and the others behind and went home.
Zhu Yu had the key to the upstairs, but when he opened the door, he found no one in the room.
It's late spring and early summer now. I think my parents and grandpa have all gone to the village. After all, there is a yard there, and life is much more convenient, so I’m used to it.
Zhu Yu went to rent a car and returned to the village. Sure enough, he saw the gate open and his grandfather Zhu Shoushan was pulling weeds in the vegetable field in front of the yard.
Although Zhu Shoushan is over 80 years old, he has sharp ears and eyes, and most of his teeth are still there. When he heard the car, he turned around and saw Zhu Yu entering the yard. He stood up with a smile and said:
"Xiaoyu is back? Why don't you make a call and ask your brother to pick you up?"
"What's going on here? I guess I'm busy at home."
"That's right. Although this land has been handed over to the cooperative, your brother is working for the cooperative, and your parents can't sit still."
As he spoke, Zhu Shoushan walked to the vegetable field, washed his hands at the well, and asked:
"How many days will you stay here this time?"
"I can stay for a week." Zhu Yu was unsure, "By the way, grandpa, I'll show you something good."
With that said, he dragged Grandpa into the house.
"Why do you have to come into the house to see such good things?" Zhu Shoushan asked with a smile. He thought it was some gift brought by his grandson for him.
"Grandpa, sit down and wait for a while." After saying that, Zhu Yu ran out again. When he came in, he was already holding something in his hand.
"Oh, this is...the moon?" Zhu Shoushan looked at Zhu Yu holding a stick with both hands, with a crescent on it, and guessed, "Why is it so golden and so dazzling..."
"Grandpa, touch it." Zhu Yu held up the ruler-long moon totem with a staff in front of Zhu Shoushan.
"What are you doing touching this?" Zhu Shoushan said cheerfully, "What's the use?"
Saying this, he reached out and touched the moon.
A very comfortable feeling spread from his hands to his head. Even though Zhu Shoushan was well-informed, he never expected to have such a feeling!
"Grandpa, the energy in this thing can make people look younger."
"Get younger?" Zhu Shoushan reacted and smiled about to shrink his hand. Zhu Yu hurriedly advised:
"No, grandpa, you have to absorb all the energy in this."
"That won't work. You have to leave some for your parents and your brother." Zhu Shoushan hurriedly withdrew his hands.
"No, no, they have their own." Zhu Yu explained.
"That's OK. It's quite comfortable." Zhu Shoushan thought that his grandson would not let him eat alone, and besides, it was indeed quite comfortable.
After he finished absorbing it, Zhu Shoushan couldn't feel it anymore. He clicked his tongue and withdrew his hand.
But at the moment, Zhu Shoushan doesn't feel that he has changed much, but since it is his grandson's filial piety, he will accept it.
Zhu Yu put away the moon sacrificial staff and said to his grandfather:
"Grandpa, if you do some exercise, you will see the results tomorrow."
Zhu Yu's parents and brother Zhu Fei came back at noon. They were surprised and happy to see Zhu Yu return home.
Zhu Yu closed the courtyard door, took out three star sacrificial staffs and gave one to each of his parents and brother, letting them hold them to absorb the energy.
Grandpa Zhu Shoushan was explaining next to him. When he spoke, his parents and Zhu Fei quickly accepted it - they regarded it as a way to amuse Grandpa.
Zhu Yu's return was already a surprise. As for what Zhu Yu said could make people younger and more energetic, the family didn't feel anything at all.
But when he woke up the next morning, his grandfather Zhu Shoushan found that his hair was darker at the roots. He felt that his eyes could see a little more clearly and he could hear things better. Only then did he realize that what Zhu Yu said was true!
Now, Zhu Yu's family also knew that Zhu Yu had found something good abroad.
According to Zhu Shoushan's idea, Zhu Yu will stay at home honestly from now on and stop running around.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, and no one can guarantee that good things will be found outside.
But when Zhu Yu threw away Zhu Dajiang's properties, Zhu Shoushan also knew that these things were earned by his eldest son's hard work, and it was unrealistic to throw them away.
All he could do was tell Zhu Yu to be careful.
Zhu Yu went to his grandfather's house again and let his grandfather, grandma and uncle all touch it.
However, the things he brought over were disguised, and Zhu Yu also found an opportunity for them to touch them, unintentionally.
He trusted his grandparents and uncle, but it was hard to say for others.
After staying at home for a few more days, Zhu Yu couldn't help with the odd chores at home, so he talked to his family and left the county with Ran Jie and others to the west.
Their target, this time, was to hunt down what was in the bronze seal of Jiao Mi.
At that time, Zhu Yu took a picture of the contents on the silk cloth with his mobile phone. In fact, he also recorded the lines and points in his mind.
It's just that these things are somewhat simplified, and if you want to find them, you need to go to the site in person.
Because this trip requires running a certain distance in the country and then going abroad. So Zhu Yu simply bought a car and the four of them drove to the Yinli Valley.
The Wusun Kingdom is a large country among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. It is located in the southeast of Balks Lake and the Yinli River Basin. The founding monarch is Xie Jiaomi.
"I once went on a mission in the Zhaosu Valley. The scenery there is very beautiful, but I haven't heard of any large tombs or ruins."
Ran Jie said while driving.
"Let's talk about it when we get there."
Zhu Yu thought about the simple map in his mind.
"Boss, do you need to prepare tools?" Cao Dalong asked.
"Why prepare the tools?" Zhu Yu asked with some confusion.
"Looking for treasure!" Cao Dalong said matter-of-factly.
"... You are mistaken." Zhu Yu said sternly, "The purpose of our trip was to survey the terrain. To put it bluntly, we wanted to see the geographical location of Wusun's homeland. As for finding treasures - that is a matter of going abroad. Leave those things in the country to archaeologists.”
Zhu Yu is not generous, but he does not do anything illegal.
The car drove to Selim Lake. Zhu Yu and the other four got out of the car and walked around the scenic spot. They had a meal of the cold-water high-white salmon here. They met a man who insisted on introducing him as "Bole Selim Lake, not Yinli". The tour guide of "Selim Lake" gained some experience and then went into Guozigou.
This was the season when the wild apple trees and wild cherry plum trees were blooming, so I enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
The next day, we arrived in Zhaosu.
The scenery was really good, but Zhu Yu went straight to the curves on the map.
Zhu Yu concluded that it was a mountain.
Shaltau Mountain.
This is what the locals call it, and it is also marked this way on the map.
This is the first curve in Zhu Yu's impression.
But the next curve goes overseas.
As mentioned before, the Wusun Kingdom is considered one of the larger of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions. Its sphere of influence is not only in the Yinli River Valley, but also includes what the old Yinli people call Waiyinli, which is the southeast of Balks Lake. .
Zhu Yu was worried and drove into the grassland and came to a certain section of Shaertao Mountain.
After climbing up the mountain and walking along for a while, I slowly found the traces of the mountain completely aligned with the curve on the map.
Some buildings on the ground may have changed over the past two thousand years, but the mountain will basically remain unchanged.
】
"Boss, what do you think those are?"
Cao Dalong pointed at what looked like a row of mounds in the distance, each round, about ten or twenty meters in diameter. The top seemed to have been cut off, and there were even pits.
Zhu Yu didn't know either, so he turned to look at Ran Jie.
"Mound tombs of Mongolian nobles." Ran Jie really knew, "But they must have been stolen. In the past few years, it was said that the cultural management office had directly cleaned up more than 20 such mound tombs, and they were all empty. No more."
Zhu Yu shook his head, which was expected.
This is in the wild, and it is a place like Zhaosu with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers but only a few hundred thousand people. It is really impossible to prevent tomb robbers from trying to find these mound tombs.
This kind of thing happened more and more all over the country at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century.
"What's that square thing?" Cao Dalong asked again.
"The ruins of the ancient city." Ran Jie took a look and said, "The grassland here is better and has always been a good summer pasture for nomads. From ancient times to the present, from the Sai people to the Dayue clan to the Wusun Kingdom, and to the later Mongolian cavalry, They’ve all stayed here. Leaving the ruins of the ancient city behind is nothing.”
After finding the right place, Zhu Yu didn't stay here any longer. He had a meal of wild mushroom soup in the county seat, and then drove away to Horgos.
They plan to go out from here to Kazakhstan.
A large chunk of the map is over there. According to Zhu Yu's opinion, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are almost all from our country.
Now that I'm out of the country and can't get my land back, I can always get my things back, right?
In Horgos, Zhu Yu found an interpreter.
Kerimjiang, Kazakh, native, graduated from New University, part-time translator.
"Boss, what are you doing here?" Kerimujiang is handsome, tall and strong, twenty-three years old, the kind who has a high rate of turning heads.
"Consider it an adventure, let's travel." Zhu Yu said humorously.
"Well, do we have a specific location?"
Kerimujiang is very conscientious.
"Take us to the area opposite Zhaosu first, and we'll take a look when we get there."
"Oh, that's...Nalingol." Kerimujiang was familiar with the opposite side and immediately knew where they were looking for.
This Gole has the same meaning as the place name Gole in the Soviet Union at that time, but the transliteration is different.
After leaving the country and arriving in Harbin, Kerimujiang took Zhu Yu and the others to rent a car, and then headed all the way to Nalingol.
The car drove around for a long time, and when it got there, Zhu Yu asked Ran Jie, who was driving, to slow down, and then slowly compared with each other.
I have to say that Lao Maozi had a vicious vision at the time.
The piece of Waiyinli land they cut off from the Chinese side is almost an expanse of plains.
It is a good place for both grazing and farming.
Zhu Yu walked all the way to Sumubai Farm. From here, he looked towards Gedeng Mountain in China. His mood was really different.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared.
Find the things first and then talk.
Some of the curves on the map represent mountains, and some represent rivers. The landmark on the Harfang side is not obvious. Zhu Yu searched for a long time before he found another one that was more obvious based on the mountains from the Zhaosu side. landmark, the junction of two rivers.
Over the past two thousand years, the junction of the river may have changed, so Zhu Yu did not rest assured, but walked back and forth along this stretch of river for several kilometers before finally confirming it.
The Sky Eye can already see the traces of the river underground. Because of the abundant water and grass and the gentle ground, the river has not changed its course.
In the past, Zhu Yu would have been in a hurry to hunt for treasure like this.
But since he went to the jungle and then to Mongolia, he knew that treasure hunting was not as easy as it was on the island before.
The fact that he was able to find the treasure so quickly was thanks to the help of the Sky Eye.
The time many people spend searching for treasure is measured in years.
It's amazing that he counts days like this.
But you really can’t rush this treasure hunt.
Most of the area around here is now farmland, growing wheat. The locals coming and going looked at them with curiosity.
This is another country with an area larger than Western Xinjiang (2.72 million square kilometers, 1.1 million more than Western Xinjiang), but a much smaller population than Western Xinjiang (population less than 20 million).
It is no exaggeration to say that the land is vast and rich in resources.
And this is not like Xijiang. Western Xinjiang covers an area of 1.6 million square kilometers, half of which is desert—after all, the largest and second largest deserts in the country are located here. And there are three mountain ranges in the remaining area, and there are not many plains.
This is almost an endless plain!
Think about it, it’s a big loss.
The five people kept working until the afternoon. Kerimujiang took them to Nalingol County to find a place to live.
The food here is really not that good. To put it bluntly, compared with China, it has almost missed the mark in terms of development over the past two decades.
Kazakhstan also knows that in order to develop, it must have talents. These people have been vigorously attracting Kazakhs from all over the world to come here, especially Kazakhs from China.
Indeed, some people came to settle down.
Having said that, living here, at least in terms of food, Zhu Yu and others are not used to it.
Mainly because there are too few styles and not too many supplies.
The main vegetables here are tomatoes, sprouts, potatoes, peppers, etc.
Although big ribs and cured meat are famous, not everyone likes to eat them.
But now that I'm out, there's nothing I can't bear. The next day, five people in a car continued to go further.
After walking deep into the grassland, Zhu Yu came down and continued to survey the terrain here.
He didn't hesitate to hide something here.
But since I discovered the map, it was right to look for it.
Kerimujiang was also a little confused, wondering what the young boss who hired him was looking for.
As for looking for ancient tombs, there are actually some mound tombs nearby, but the boss has never looked at them.
What can you find on this grassland?
Zhu Yu wandered around for nearly an hour before returning. When he was about to get in the car, Ran Jie told him in a low voice:
"Boss, someone is targeting us!"
