There were people watching nearby, and they did not expect that Zhu Yu would refuse so simply.
Some people laughed and waited to see Zhu Yu's joke.
"Some people have done this before, but they were beaten away by the locals!"
"You know, the locals have guns! They are going to be in trouble!"
"Let them have bad luck! Earlier we were all eating dry bread, but they were making delicious homemade food. At that time, I cursed them and they must not end well!"
"Hmph! These Chinese people really don't know how to show appreciation! When you go to someone else's place, you can pay whatever you ask. Only by paying obediently can you have a good treasure hunt. Now that you have made people angry, it seems that you can only leave!"
…
After listening to what these people muttered, Zhu Yu understood.
I bet the people in this village are used to these treasure hunters!
Zhu Yu will definitely not be short of money that should be paid, but Zhu Yu thinks there is no need to spend the money that should not be paid!
"Ran Jie, come with me." Zhu Yu called Ran Jie over and whispered:
"I have a pistol in my backpack. If necessary, I can fight back! If anything happens, I will be responsible!"
Ran Jie was determined, but he also smiled and said:
"Boss, don't worry, they are the only ones I can handle without a gun!"
Zhu Yu had confidence in Ran Jie, but he still warned: "Don't be careless. These people are spoiled. If they really have a gun, they might shoot."
Ran Jie nodded to express his understanding.
After a while, the short local man came over menacingly with three villagers carrying sticks.
"It's them! I asked them to pay, but they didn't!"
"Don't pay?" Another tall man raised his stick directly: "If you don't pay, you can't stay here! I tell you, either pay or get out!"
Ran Jie immediately took out his stick, pointed at these people and said:
"We have already paid what we should have paid. We will not pay what we should not pay, and we will not leave!"
He was so aggressive that all the tourists or treasure hunters nearby were waiting to watch the fun.
You know, there were many people who were so violent before, but they were soon besieged by dozens of locals. In the end, they were not only beaten badly, but also had their things robbed, and then they were thrown into the boat and taken away.
That's why they now obediently give money when asked without daring to resist at all.
Suddenly someone who dared to resist appeared. Not only did these people not support it, but they acted as if they were watching the excitement, hoping to repeat the previous scene.
They knelt, naturally hoping that those who did not kneel would be worse off than they were, otherwise how could they show the value of their kneeling?
"Have you paid?" The tall man asked the locals in confusion without dropping his stick.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" The person who brought the three people here, the one who asked for the hammock fee earlier, became anxious and immediately retorted, "I came here to collect money, but they didn't give it to me and threatened me! He didn't give any money at all! "
"No money?" The tall man naturally believed that there were more people on his side, and he immediately became angry:
"Dare you lie to us? Beat me! Beat me hard!"
Saying that, the three men came over with sticks.
The callous little man showed a proud smile and joined the battle group!
"Ran Jie, don't get seriously injured." Zhu Yu noticed something was wrong, shouted, picked up the shovel next to him and joined in!
Because Ran Jie was in the lead, the three people were all heading towards him. Ran Jie was not far behind when he was one against three, so the other party didn't care about Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu happily attacked and quickly turned behind the opponent.
He knocked down the little man behind him with two shovels, and the other party immediately sent out another one to deal with him. Ran Jie used his strength and knocked over one of them, leaving only one person on the other side. At this time, Zhu Yu shouted:
"We paid the money, and now I want to explain to you. If we really get into a fight, three of you will already be dead!"
Although he didn't know much about fighting, he was very strong and agile. The one he used to deal with him had loose steps and many flaws in his movements, and he was knocked down in two blows.
As soon as he shouted, the tallest remaining local hesitated.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" A flash of panic flashed in the little man's eyes. He wanted to extort some money, but now that he was going to expose it, he not only lost his face, but also his reputation.
"They just don't want to pay!" the little man shouted crazily, just not wanting his people to communicate with Zhu Yuranjie and others.
At this time, people on the other side of the village heard the noise here, and seven or eight more people came here carrying sticks!
Because of treasure hunting, no one in the village has been fishing recently.
The money handed over by the treasure hunters alone is enough for the whole village to live a prosperous life for a period of time.
The managers of the fishing village have formulated a reasonable distribution mechanism to ensure that everyone in the village can get a share of the money.
This is much better than the hard work of fishing before!
Therefore, people in the village cherish this income very much and will try their best to protect this hard-earned income - if someone destroys it, he must be defeated!
On more than one occasion before, the village had knocked down and sent away people who tried to pass without paying or trying to get by.
There are no such people these days. It seems that someone wants to compete with the villagers again today!
As soon as he saw more people, Ran Jie took a step back and stood by Zhu Yu's side, ready to take action at any time.
Those people ran over, and when they saw three of their own people being knocked down, they suddenly became angry. Some people helped the people who were knocked down, and some people rushed towards Ran Jie with sticks!
"Fighting, right? Bullying us because there are few people, right? Here we come!"
At this moment, two people joined the battlefield!
It was Qin Fei and Cao Dalong who came back from diving!
Both sides joined the new force, but did not start fighting.
At this time, the tall man who came first suddenly asked Zhu Yu:
"You said you have already paid?"
"Yes!" Zhu Yu pointed at the tent and then at the beach and said:
"I paid for it when I arrived, paid for the tent, paid for diving, and he asked me to pay for the hammock - are you going too far?"
As soon as these words were said, the faces of the locals present changed.
When the little man saw something was wrong, he immediately said loudly:
"He's talking nonsense! He didn't pay...I just want the money for the tent..."
"His tent payment was paid." A person coming from behind suddenly said, "I collected it."
The little man rolled his eyes and immediately changed his mind: "That's because I thought they didn't pay..."
"Sir, I'm sorry." The tall man knew that he had a problem in this area, but he couldn't apologize directly, so he said to Zhu Yu, then walked towards the village with the stick in hand.
The two men held the little man, and the others followed.
"What's going on?" Cao Dalong and Qin Fei were a little confused.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu Yu smiled.
Other treasure hunters who were watching the excitement did not expect that things would end like this.
Ran Jie told Qin Fei and the two of them about the matter, and Cao Dalong clicked his tongue:
"Although this village charges high fees, it still has some rules!"
"Did you gain anything?" Zhu Yu changed the topic.
"No, I saw the fish, but I didn't catch it." Qin Fei said.
He and Cao Dalong can be said to be able to dive, but they are not skilled at it and are at a beginner level.
Special forces are not good at everything - they also need to be divided into different types of troops.
The four of them rested for a while, and then Qin Fei and Cao Dalong stayed behind while Zhu Yu and Ran Jie went diving elsewhere.
When he came back, it was already dark, and Zhu Yu came back with a bagful of seafood.
Not only crabs, but also shellfish and snails. The fish did not.
Then I saw Cao Dalong and Qin Fei eating fruit.
Seeing Zhu Yu and the others coming back, Cao Dalong hurriedly took the equipment and handed over the fruit:
"This was sent by the villagers. It tastes quite good!"
Zhu Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect the locals to have such a heart.
In the next few days, Zhu Yu and others stayed leisurely at the beach, hunting for treasures rather than playing.
Because of the fight, my relationship with the people in the village has improved a lot. People in the village also revealed a lot of news.
The salvage boats outside have never made any big gains, and Zhu Yu and the others' diving skills are getting better and better, slowly expanding into the sea area dozens of meters deep.
There began to be fewer people on the island. After all, it is such a big island, and with so many people coming here, almost every inch of the land has been inspected by metal detectors, and the beach has been dug up to pieces.
Next, Zhu Yu led people to dive in the morning and dig holes on the beach in the afternoon.
Many people laughed at them, and even people in the village advised Zhu Yu to stop looking for them.
They said there had been a war on the island and there were scraps of metal everywhere. Treasure hunters can find things in almost every place, and metal detectors can hear noises in every place, but nothing can be found.
At the deepest level, some treasure hunters dug to a depth of five or six meters. Seawater seeped in and formed a large puddle. In the end, they only found a broken, rusty scimitar.
Zhu Yu asked the people in the village if the jar of gold coins was faked by someone, but the people in the village didn't say anything.
But Zhu Yu could tell from their expressions that they were indeed fake.
But Zhu Yu still led his men to dig holes.
It even made the news!
The four of them are called persistent treasure hunters!
Ran Jie and the three of them didn't have any complaints. They were digging anyway and pretended not to hear what others said.
There were nearly a thousand people on the island when they arrived. Over ten days later, there were now less than a hundred people.
And it’s no longer about treasure hunting, but more about traveling.
After all, this is an original ecological island with clean beaches, clear water, rich sea resources and relatively simple residents.
People in the village have been doing more work recently, which is to clean up the pits dug deep in the island by treasure hunters.
The holes dug at the seaside will soon be silted up by the tide, and the ones at higher places will have to be filled manually.
Another reason why people in the village have a good impression of Zhu Yu and the others is that if the pits dug by Zhu Yu and the others are not silted up by the sea water, they will eventually be filled in.
On this day, another research ship on the sea left, and finally only one remained. This Zhu Yu probably won't last long.
He had explored almost all the surrounding areas of the island and basically determined the location of the sailboat.
However, there are many things there, spread over a large area, and most of them are buried under the sand.
Zhu Yu suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate for him to build a salvage boat.
Is it better to buy or rent?
Should we dig on the island first or rent a boat?
Zhu Yu only hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
He found the big man in the village and said to him:
"I paid you to send me to that salvage boat."
"No need to hire anyone, I'll do this for you for free." The tall man was also very friendly to Zhu Yu and the others and spoke directly.
"Okay." Zhu Yu was not polite and got on a tall motorized fishing boat and headed towards the salvage ship.
There were people guarding the salvage boat. Watching the fishing boat coming, someone immediately shouted:
"Don't come near!"
The fishing boat stopped more than thirty meters away from the salvage boat. Zhu Yu shouted from the boat:
"I want to make a deal with your captain!"
Captain Nemo is having a headache.
Salvage ships spend a lot of money every day. The detection radar can detect many metal reactions on the seabed. However, when divers and salvage robots go down, they find only sword fragments or manganese iron ore.
There is no so-called gold at all!
He has been around this island for nearly a month, and if he stays here any longer, he will go bankrupt!
The salvage boat originally belonged to Nemo and now belongs to an Australian millionaire.
Nemo is a man who is very addicted to salvaging from the bottom of the sea.
He once made a fortune by hiring other people's boats to salvage treasures from the seabed, then bought the boat and ordered the equipment.
However, after several salvage failures, he lost a lot of money and the ship was not saved. He was sold to the rich man. Because of his rich experience, he was retained by the rich man as the captain. He followed the rich man over the years and accumulated some wealth.
After hearing the news about the treasure this time, the rich man was not interested. Nemo did not persuade his employer, but he couldn't leave it behind, so he made a deal with his employer - he paid all the salvage expenses.
If the treasure is salvaged, one-third will belong to the employer. If nothing is salvaged, he has to pay the employer one million US dollars!
Nemo had spent his entire life's savings on this.
However, this time there was no gain at all.
Is this life over again?
The money has been almost used up and nothing has been gained. It seems that I have to work for the rich again to pay off the debt.
While he was in distress, he heard that someone was negotiating a deal, and Nemo immediately appeared on the deck.
Seeing Nemo, Zhu Yu thought of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.
Nemo is not like a captain or a blacksmith, he is like Squidward.
"Are you Chinese? Why do you want to discuss business with me?" Nemo was a little surprised that Zhu Yu was Chinese.
"I want to rent your salvage boat for a day." Zhu Yu said.
"Have you found the place where the treasure is buried?" Nemo immediately guessed the possibility.
But then he shook his head:
"How is this possible? You don't even have a boat! The shallow sea has been searched all over. There is definitely no way to find it. Treasures can only be found in the deep sea!"
Nemo absolutely did not believe that Zhu Yu had the skills to dive in the deep sea alone!
"I just want to rent your boat, do you agree?" Zhu Yu didn't say that much.
If you talk too much to such a person, his thinking will diverge too quickly. For Zhu Yu, this is a waste of time.
Seeing that Zhu Yucheng wanted to rent, Nemo immediately opened his mouth:
"Five million dollars a day! The cost of the underwater robot is not included!"
An ordinary salvage ship can cost up to 200,000 U.S. dollars a day, and some people are willing to do it even for 100,000 U.S. dollars.
He wanted half a million dollars, with the intention of extorting money, and also wanted to scare Zhu Yu away.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu actually agreed!
This time, Nemo got here!
