On this day, Zhu Yu and the others finished exploring the river and came back before the sun set - mainly because they were on the other side of the river further ahead and needed to make a big circle, so they simply came back.
Old man Andre was still in the yard. This time he was still holding a wine bottle, but it was replaced by a bottle of red wine. He took a sip from time to time, looking quite helpless.
Seeing Zhu Yu appear, old man Andre's eyes were full of hope.
Zhu Yu laughed secretly, but still politely went to the kitchen, cut two plates of lunch meat and brought them out.
On the surface, he brought a lot of food, but several people didn't use it as food, so there was no problem in spreading it out evenly.
"Young man, you are a good person!" Old Man Andre was overjoyed, "This meat tastes really good!"
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie simply sat in the small courtyard and chatted with the old man.
"...Some teenagers in this town have been taught bad things," Andre suddenly said without any clue, "If they cause trouble for you, you can kick their butts! Teach them a lesson!"
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised. What is going on?
Did something happen while they were away?
At this time, the sound of motorcycles and noises suddenly came from outside. The sounds were getting closer and closer, and they should be coming from this direction.
"These bastard boys!" Andre scolded, "They are here to cause trouble again!"
In an instant, a group of seven or eight young men aged 17 or 18 swarmed in front of old Andre's yard, pushed open the door and barged in rudely.
The leader was older, about twenty years old, with a shaved head and an iron cross tattooed on his bare arms, which looked very dazzling.
They are indeed a bunch of bastards!
"Yellow-skinned pig, get out of here! You are not welcome in Owl Town!" The young man in the lead pointed at Zhu Yu with a baseball bat and shouted.
The few young boys behind him also shouted, looking quite impressive for a while.
Andre was furious:
"Little Carter! Is this how your parents taught you to treat guests? Get out of my yard, or old Andre will be rude!"
"Old Andre, you can no longer hold the shotgun, no need to threaten us!" Carter was not afraid of Andre's threat at all. "We are normally safeguarding the interests of the town! That treasure belongs to Owl Town, and we will never allow it. Taken away by outsiders, especially these yellow-skinned pigs!”
"right!"
"Absolutely not allowed!"
"No one can take it away!"
The support from the boys behind him made Carter feel a little elated.
Ran Jie couldn't bear it any longer. He took a step forward and stared at Carter coldly:
"Apologize!"
"Apologise? Hahahaha!" Carter laughed exaggeratedly, "There is no apology in Carter's dictionary!"
Ran Jie bent down and picked up a stone. Carter immediately took a step back. He thought Ran Jie would hit him with a stone!
"boom!"
Ran Jie didn't hit him with a stone, he just raised the strip of stone with his left hand and smashed the stone into two pieces with a punch of his right hand!
"Apologise! Otherwise, I will let you taste the feeling of this stone!"
"effort!"
A young boy from behind exclaimed.
"How is this possible? Isn't it fighting spirit?"
"I think it's magic..."
This punch directly shocked these people. Even Andre was a little surprised. He swallowed and said loudly:
"Little Carter! Apologize to my guest quickly! Otherwise, even if your parents come, they won't be able to stop you from being injured!"
Carter was in a dilemma and froze.
Zhu Yu glanced at the stone curiously, and then suddenly realized.
No wonder!
But this trick works well.
Otherwise, if we really beat these guys to death, there will naturally be a lot more trouble.
Hit the younger ones, and the older ones will come naturally.
"Apologise!" Ran Jie took another step forward, approaching Carter, and his voice was much louder.
Carter was helpless, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his younger brother. He suddenly shouted and hit Ran Jie with a baseball bat!
"boom!"
Ran Jie turned to one side and punched him in the ribs. Carter fell to the ground and twitched!
The gang of boys behind him were shocked, so straightforward!
Then turn around and run away!
"Eric, Goodman, take Carter away! Or I'll tell your parents and let them kick your ass!"
The last two boys had no choice but to return and led Carter out of the yard in embarrassment.
Andre then asked Ran Jie:
"Ran, is Carter okay?"
"It's okay, I might vomit twice, but I won't be hurt." Ran Jie said with certainty, and Andre was relieved.
"You are so good. Is this Chinese Kung Fu?" Andre looked at the stone thrown aside by Ran Jie and asked with interest.
"Well, that's right."
Zhu Yu held back laughter.
Ran Jie winked at Zhu Yu and told him not to expose it.
Naturally, Zhu Yu wouldn't say anything - it was actually a piece of sandy limestone, and in terms of solidity, it was probably a little harder than a clod of soil.
"Those bastard boys - ugh." Andre said about their situation, "Most of their parents work in nearby logging camps or farms and have no time to care about them.
In the past two years, the new teacher who came to the school was a fanatical supporter of the SS. Of course, I saw that he came to teach, and a large part of the reason was to see if he could find any clues to the treasure. "
】
"These brats were led astray - actually Carter turned out to be pretty good. When I was in middle school, he often helped me shovel snow in the winter - ugh!"
Andre's words did not cause any fluctuation in Zhu Yu's mood.
We must be looking for the treasure, and we won't give up just because of the obstruction of these young boys - I just hope that they will retreat when faced with difficulties, otherwise no one knows what will happen next.
"Actually, I really hope you can find the treasure." Andre suddenly said, "If you find it, these young guys will have no hope, and they won't be clamoring for restoration every day."
Is there such an operation?
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie suddenly felt that their treasure hunting operation had become somewhat sacred.
Save the future of young people!
At this time, there was a car noise outside, and Ran Jie said with a smile:
"Are Dalong and the others back?"
"No." Zhu Yu shook his head: "It's not the sound of this car."
An off-road vehicle parked outside the courtyard, and a middle-aged man and a young man came to the door.
Andre's courtyard wall is only one and a half meters high, so the other party can clearly see what's going on in the courtyard.
"Hey, hello." The middle-aged man greeted with a smile, "I'm a treasure hunter from the mine. Can I come in and talk?"
His eyes looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu looked at Andre.
This yard belongs to Andre, so naturally Andre takes charge.
Andre felt enough respect, nodded with enjoyment, and said loudly:
"come in!"
The two people pushed the door in and greeted old man Andre with a smile:
"Hello, old man."
Then he said to Zhu Yu and Ran Jie:
"Hello."
The two introduced themselves, the younger one was called Devin, a Frenchman, and the older one was called Boris, an old beauty.
"This is the third year that we have been searching for treasures in the abandoned mines." Dewen said very talkatively, "You are also treasure hunters, right? It must have taken a lot of effort to get the clues to this treasure, right?"
Zhu Yu shook his head:
"No, I got it by chance."
With Andre's permission, Devin and Boris sat down at the small table.
Old Man Andre brought the teapot, filled it with water, and then went into the house.
He could see that Dewen and the others came to see Zhu Yu and the others.
"Actually, the treasure should be in the mine." Dewen said seemingly casually, but confidently, "In the early years, there were quite a lot of treasure hunters here. After all, in some private records, those who transported supplies You can’t hide your car from anyone.”
Zhu Yu was not moved, nor did he lose confidence because Dewen was so sure.
On the contrary, Ran Jie couldn't help but asked:
"Is it really in the mine? Not necessarily, right? If it was really in there, you should have found it long ago, right? After all, you have been looking for it for three years."
Dewen didn't know how to refute Ran Jie's words, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile:
"There is actually a basis for what we say. There are not many places to bury things near Owl Town. Counting rivers and lakes, plus mines, there are only these three places."
"Then why can't it be in the river or the lake? Isn't there any other cemetery?" Ran Jie kept retorting.
Zhu Yu knew that Ran Jie was actually lying.
"We have actually fished for them in rivers and lakes. Not only us, but other treasure hunters have also fished. But there are no results."
He suddenly remembered something, smiled and said:
"As for the cemetery you mentioned, there are indeed treasure hunters who think there may be treasures hidden there. They went to the cemetery with metal detectors, and sure enough, there was a large amount of metal reaction."
Having said this, he paused, obviously expecting Zhu Yu and the others to ask questions.
However, neither Zhu Yu nor Ran Jie liked him.
Dewen shrugged and had no choice but to continue:
"In the end, they dug up the grave and found that it was filled with iron coffins. Then they dug deeper and found nothing, hahahaha...
As a result, their digging of graves was discovered, and they were beaten up by the locals and sent to the police station, where they had to pay a large fine before they came out. "
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie looked at each other, and both saw the two words "deserve it" in each other's eyes.
"So, all the places that can be set foot in and where things can be hidden have actually been searched, and the only ones that have not been fully explored are the mines."
Zhu Yu understood the meaning of Dewen and Boris coming over.
The intention is simple:
You want to find the treasure, but you have searched everywhere there is a door. You have no hope of finding it, so just go where you want.
This is of course a way to squeeze out competitors, but it is difficult for Dewen to use it so skillfully at such a young age.
I think I've done this a lot before.
Just, is it useful?
At least it's useless to Zhu Yu and the others.
After Dewen said this, his mouth felt a little dry, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of black tea. Just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he heard the sound of a car outside.
Dewen naturally found out that Zhu Yu and his group of treasure hunters were five people in total, four men and one woman.
So when Kroya jumped out of the car, he wasn't surprised - but then he was surprised. He didn't expect Kroja to be so beautiful and elegant!
After staring at Croya for several times, he didn't react until Croya came to Zhu Yu and looked at them with doubtful eyes.
So I subconsciously picked up the tea cup again and planned to take a sip to cover up my embarrassment.
But he had forgotten that the tea was finished.
"These two are Dewen and Boris from the mine treasure hunting team." Zhu Yu introduced, "They came here... to chat."
Dewen's mouth twitched, and he was chatting like crazy - but he couldn't explain anything at the moment.
"I'm hungry." Croya nodded to Dewen and Boris, then ignored them and said to Zhu Yu, "Do you have any instant noodles there? I want to eat two packs."
The tone was a bit coquettish.
Zhu Yu brought some instant noodles among the food, but after Croya tasted it once, he thought it tasted good and wanted to eat some from time to time.
"Okay, I'll boil water for you." Andre didn't have ready-made boiling water here, so he boiled it as he needed it - even the tea was made with the freshly boiled water.
Croya hugged Zhu Yu, kissed him, and went inside to change clothes.
After a while, Zhu Yu boiled water, made some noodles for Croya, and walked out. He was surprised to find that Dewen and the others did not leave.
Seeing Zhu Yu appear, Dewen took the initiative and said:
"Actually, I have an idea. Both of us are capable treasure hunting teams, and we can definitely cooperate in treasure hunting."
"How to cooperate?" Zhu Yu was a little surprised that Dewen changed his mind so quickly.
"We hired you to help us find treasures in the mine." Dewen said with a sincere expression, "Actually, there are many branch roads in the mine, and the passages are very complicated. It requires experienced veterans to complete the treasure hunting task..."
"No." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "We have no intention of cooperating with others. I wish you good luck in your treasure hunt."
He looked at the sky. The sun had set and the light in the sky had dimmed.
Dewen was not a fool. Knowing that Zhu Yu was going to see off guests, he stood up and prepared to leave.
When he reached the door, Dewen stopped again, turned around and said to Zhu Yu:
"If you change your mind, you can find me in the mines."
After saying that, he nodded and left.
"This person is not sincere at all." Croya rolled the noodles with his fork and said while eating: "His eyes are full of hypocrisy."
"Inviting us is probably because of you and your beauty." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Of course, it may also be because they want to keep us with them to reduce variables."
"Whatever, there is no result today, let's continue tomorrow. I don't believe we can't find the treasure!" Croya took a big sip of soup and said while blowing, "Zhu, you are such a lucky boy. It must work this time!”
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
Tomorrow, the only thing left to look for is the cemetery by the lake. I wonder if I can find any clues there.
If you don't have one yet, it may be really hard to find.
The next day, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie's car drove near the cemetery by the lake.
The place was blocked by woods. The car stopped three hundred meters away, and Zhu Yu and the others walked to the cemetery.
This terrain is so strange!
Zhu Yu suddenly felt that he had come to the right place!
