Mr. Andre looked at Zhu Yucroya and the others narrowly.
Obviously, he already knew what the other party was doing.
Or maybe you just want to tease young people who want to get rich quickly - there may be opportunities to get rich quickly, but it won't necessarily fall on you.
But it would be a good thing to be able to confirm that those cars did pass by.
So when Mr. Andre went back to the house to rest, Zhu Yu said with a smile:
"I think there is a high probability that this treasure has not been found yet. Otherwise, the news should have been leaked long ago."
Croya said quickly:
"I also think that should be the case."
"Isn't there another mine?" Cao Dalong interjected, "I heard that many SS treasures were found somewhere in the mine. Why don't we go there and have a look? It's early anyway."
"Okay." Zhu Yu nodded.
Since I was not tired and I was in an urgent mood, I said hello to the old man Andre, and the two cars drove out of the yard and headed towards the mine.
"The mine is about five kilometers away from the town. It is a copper mine. Because the reserves are not large, it stopped production and was abandoned a long time ago." Croya was also familiar with the information about the mine and introduced it while giving directions.
Because the mine has been abandoned for a long time, a lot of grass has grown on the original asphalt road, and some places have been arched by grass or tree roots, exposing the soil surface.
"There are new ruts." Ran Jie, who was driving, suddenly said, "There have been cars heading towards the mine recently, and there's more than one!"
As soon as these words were said, other people's hearts tightened!
Five kilometers away, we'll be there soon.
Before reaching the mine, I saw four cars parked at the entrance of the mine from a distance.
Two SUVs, two pickup trucks.
Five more tents were set up nearby.
"Go back." Zhu Yu's tone showed no expression at all.
Apparently, someone got there first.
"Why don't we go down and have a look?" Croya obviously refused to give up, "Maybe we can see something."
"You can't tell. Since the other party is here, they must be fully prepared." Zhu Yu sighed and said, "Maybe this mine has been contracted by them, and we might not even be able to get down."
If the other party can find such an obvious landmark in the mine, they must be prepared.
Croya was still unwilling to give in.
"Okay, then you go." Zhu Yu asked Ran Jie to stop the car, and then accompanied Croya there.
After a while, Croya came back in a hurry.
"As expected, they contracted this place and don't allow strangers to enter." Croya, who returned to the car, was very depressed. "The treasure may be far away from us..."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Yu shook his head, "Since more than one group of people know that there is a treasure nearby, it is obvious that such an obvious target as the mine will not be let go.
There is a high probability that the treasure is not in the mine - come on, let's go back and study it. "
The car drove back to Old Man Andre's yard, and Zhu Yu and the others started discussing in the room.
In fact, there is not much that can be done. The final result is to work separately.
"Tomorrow Croya will take Qin Fei and Dalong to the west to find out where those cars passed by decades ago. We must find out the largest possible range."
Zhu Yu clicked on the map and said:
"Ran Jie and I will familiarize ourselves with the terrain nearby and see if there are other possible places to bury treasures."
Others didn't have any good ideas, so they settled on this.
After a hurried breakfast the next day, Croya took the car and drove away along the highway.
Zhu Yu stayed and asked old man Andre about the nearby terrain.
"The scenery in Owl Town is good." Old Man Andre's tone was full of pride. "There is a lake in the south, a river in the southwest, woods, mountains, and a grassland in the north..."
He sighed and said:
"There are just too few people."
Indeed, it would be good to develop this place into a tourist area in a crowded place, but there are too few people.
Of course, Zhu Yu's understanding is that it is precisely because there are too few people that such a primitive style can be maintained. If there are more people, can those grasslands be left?
It is useless to argue about these matters, and it is impossible for Zhu Yu to argue with an eighty-year-old man. After finding out the desired result, he and Ran Jie drove out together.
"Let's go around in a circle, except for the mining area directly north, and run around other places. The grassland... let's forget about the grassland first, it's not very possible here."
After deciding on the route, Ran Jie drove, Zhu Yu sat in the passenger seat, and Apocalypse's Eye began to search.
Owl Town is not a large area, but there are not many places where treasures can be buried, so Zhu Yu and the others proceed very slowly. They have a simple lunch outside at noon, and when they go back in the evening, they have only completed about one-fifth of the way. A less than planned survey area.
Croya and the others had also returned, and they exchanged information at the dinner table.
"The next town is called Elf Town. The old people in the town have no memory of those vehicles passing by. But because the old people were not very old at the time, only a few years old, there is a possibility that they do not remember."
Croya said while eating:
"There is a branch road there, and there are two small towns next to it. The direction leading back is a larger city. Behind Elf Town are Tomahawk Town and Ayr Village. We have also been to both places. There are no older people left, and no results have been found.
We plan to visit the two small towns on Chalu tomorrow. It would be best if we can find out the news. If we can’t find out, we plan to go to that small town to check out. "
Zhu Yu nodded and talked about his investigation today.
Although there is no good news, after all, it is all in the plan and there is progress. This is normal.
"Actually, it's the most normal thing for us to hunt for treasures like this." Croya took a sip of the soup and said, "Zhu, I've heard about your previous treasure hunting experiences - I think they are simply stories! There are very few treasure hunting experiences. It went so smoothly.”
"We didn't go so well, did we?" Cao Dalong was a little reluctant to hear this, "My life was in danger several times..."
Croya sneered:
"What are the dangers you encountered really called to treasure hunters... According to you Chinese people, they are called basic skills! Which senior treasure hunter has not experienced more than a dozen or even dozens of life-and-death adventures?
As for a normal treasure hunt, do you know what the average time is? That's all calculated in years! Look at your treasure hunts, which one lasts longer than three months? "
After hearing this, Cao Dalong was speechless.
The truth is that, no one of their treasure hunts lasted more than three months.
Ran Jie raised his hand:
"My boss and I were the first. I proved that the boss's treasure hunting process never lasted more than a month at any one time - he was not called Lucky Boy for nothing."
"That's why I must follow you. I think that by following Zhu Yu, the process of finding the treasure will be shortened. This is what every treasure hunter dreams of!"
"You dare me to be a hottie?" Zhu Yu said in surprise, "Then if I shout on the Internet now, will there be countless fans?"
Several people burst into laughter.
Croya said:
"There may be fans of girls, but more likely they just want to kidnap you and help them find treasures!"
"Okay, no more joking, let's rest after eating and doing some activities." Zhu Yu said, "I have to get up early to do some work tomorrow."
As the initiator of the treasure hunt, Zhu Yu naturally had this authority. After everyone finished eating, they packed up and went about their activities.
When it got dark, Zhu Yu returned to his room - there were many empty rooms in Old Man Andre's yard, so one room for each person was enough.
Zhu Yu originally wanted to take a look, but then the door was pushed open, and an unexpected but predictable person entered the room. Without saying a word, he got into Zhu Yu's arms.
It's a good thing she can endure it till now - royal children are indeed different.
Zhu Yu is not Liu Xiahui, so he has to suffer.
Needless to say, everything turned upside down overnight.
Zhu Yu felt refreshed and refreshed the next day. Although Croya was tired, he looked satisfied.
However, Cao Dalong, who lived next door to Zhu Yu, had dark circles under his eyes and looked at the two of them rather resentfully:
"Boss, can you please be quieter in the future? This really affects people's sleep. You don't know that this old house is not soundproof!"
Croya immediately blushed, turned his head and lightly punched Zhu Yu. It was definitely the right thing to pass the blame to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu said indifferently:
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Zhu Yu was also capable of telling this matter so openly, so Cao Dalong had no choice but to shut up.
After breakfast, both parties continued to act as planned.
At the end of the day, when Zhu Yu and the others came back, Croya hadn't come back yet.
It’s understandable if you think about it. Today we have to run quite far and have to go back, so it’s naturally different from yesterday.
Mr. Andre was holding a wine bottle in the yard. When he saw Zhu Yu and the others coming back, he raised the bottle and signaled.
"Thank you, we won't drink anymore." Zhu Yu smiled and waved his hand.
"Young man, drinking is good for your health." Mr. Andre took a sip and said exaggeratedly, "Don't refuse wine. For us, this is our best friend!"
Damn it, best friend. Zhu Yu shook his head and refused again, but he entered the room and when he came out, he held several small plates and several canned meats.
Open the cans one by one, pour them into a small plate, and place them in front of Mr. Andre.
"Try the canned Chinese delicacies."
Andre was obviously curious about this, so he picked up his fork and took a bite.
"tasty!"
Food is generally the same, especially when accompanied by wine.
"Young man, are you here to hunt for treasure?" Andre was still chatting with Zhu Yu and the others while eating and drinking.
"Nearly all the outsiders who come to Owl Town every year come here to hunt for treasure. Some of them, like you, live nearby and search for it, while others pass through here and go to other places."
Only then did Zhu Yu realize that although the old man said nothing, he knew everything!
"By the way, have you found anything?" Andre took another sip of wine, wiped his beard and asked, "Maybe not?"
Without waiting for Zhu Yu to answer, he fell into memories:
"This is the third time that the boys from the mine have come here. But every time they come back empty-handed..."
"The gang of boys who came last year were all bastards! They actually dug a grave on the hill beside the lake - but they made the wrong decision. Not only did they not find any treasure, they were arrested by the police. I heard that now None came out."
"Some people went diving in the lake to see if there were any sunken treasures in the lake, but they only found broken fishing boats from hundreds of years ago. Who would hide treasures in a flowing lake?"
"By the way, there is also the river, haha. It is said that some people went to the river to look for treasures. The treasures were not found, but they caught a lot of fish..."
…
The old man talked a lot, and as he spoke, he leaned on the chair and wandered over, still holding the wine bottle tightly in his hand.
Ran Jie whispered unhappily:
"Boss, we were tricked by the royal family. This news... was not kept secret at all!"
Zhu Yu was also a little angry.
But getting angry didn't help. He thought for a while and said:
"First of all, we are sure there is a treasure. Secondly, since the treasure has not been found yet, we still have a chance."
Zhu Yu actually didn't say a word.
If a treasure is found in Suweidian, then according to international practice, Suweidian will definitely nationalize the treasure - this is what every country will do.
But now that the clues are provided by the royal family, if Zhu Yu and the others want to find the treasure, it is most likely that Su Weidian will impose heavy taxes but allow Zhu Yu and the others to obtain the treasure.
This kind of thing is tacitly accepted and cannot be brought to the table.
This should also be an unspoken rule.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yu became more comfortable.
When Croya and the others came back, it was already dark.
Looks dusty.
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie had already prepared the meal, and the five of them gathered around the table, eating and chatting lively.
"No news. No news was found in the past few places, which proves that the treasure is most likely to be near Owl Town."
Croya said this with excitement.
Ran Jie couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her:
"But old man Andre said today that there have been many treasure hunters in this town for many years. This is not the first time, including the mine group. This is the third time they have contracted the mine. But in the end, nothing was found. "
"Is that so?" Croya's enthusiasm was mostly extinguished. He put a piece of bread into his mouth and thought for a moment, "Since we haven't found it, it means we also have a chance, right?"
She looked up at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"There is a chance. Let's look for it separately tomorrow."
He gestured with his hand: "We'll look in this direction, and you'll look in the opposite direction, and finally we'll meet. Don't miss any suspicious places."
"Okay, okay." Croya nodded vigorously.
At night, Croya came to Zhu Yu's room again.
She remained silent, but Zhu Yu actually understood that this girl was under great pressure now.
"Don't worry, you will definitely find it." Zhu Yu reassured her, "I am a lucky boy, don't worry, as long as there is a treasure, it will not escape my 'eyes'..."
"Okay, okay, you are the best..."
Croya really needed comfort. When Zhu Yu said this, she became happy.
The night is colorful.
