"You don't want it?" Elder Yin Man looked at the piles of seizures and was actually very happy.
He felt that even if he got half of it, it would be enough to arm the capable warriors in the village.
In this case, if similar people come to "disrupt" the "tranquility" of the village in the future, at least the village will have the ability to protect itself.
But when he expressed his thoughts, Zhu Yu refused:
"These things belong to the village, we don't want them."
Elder Yin Man, after all, has gone out to work and knows that these things, including this car, are worth a lot after all.
There are also so many weapons seized!
"We are very grateful that the elder can send someone to take us to find the legendary treasure." Zhu Yu said with a smile:
"We are collaborators, and now we are also friends. It is our obligation to help you fight off those intruders, and besides, you need these things the most now."
In fact, Zhu Yu really didn't care about what these armed men brought.
Look down on it.
Seeing Zhu Yu's sincerity, Elder Yin Man stopped refusing and immediately ordered the people in the village to move all the things from the car, distribute some of them and save some.
"Ran Jie, you guys teach them how to use it..."
Seeing a villager holding a can between his teeth, Zhu Yu touched his head. He still needed to be taught this thing.
In the future, people in the village will definitely have to gradually come into contact with modern civilization, and they will have to learn all kinds of things.
However, he obviously found that these villagers accepted new weapons much faster than other matters!
Maybe it’s the impact of an existential crisis.
In order to avoid possible subsequent enemies, Zhu Yu and the others stayed in the village for another five days.
In the past five days, the people in the village burned all the bodies of the armed men and scattered them.
Their car, including the wreckage, was pulled back to the village.
At this time, Zhu Yu and the others felt the power of the villagers - even car wrecks were used as much as possible by the villagers.
Made into weapons, tools, and even furniture.
As for the two cars that were still usable, Ran Jie and the others only taught them for less than an hour, and Edo and the others started running wildly in the Gobi Desert in their cars.
Anyway, there were no other cars and there was no traffic accident, so I just let them go.
During these five days, Ran Jie and the others conducted continuous training with the newly-received soldiers and "old" soldiers, including some brief tactics——
This reminded Zhu Yu of the war in his country. Because China wanted to evacuate its overseas Chinese, the war ceased for several days.
He even came across a new video in which the retreating Chinese encountered resistance fighters because their car broke down.
The resistance soldiers not only helped them change the tires and repair the car, but also enthusiastically took photos with them.
It’s really powerful!
Although people on the Internet joke that they are afraid of recruiting teachers.
But in fact, if you were not powerful, would others come to you to learn something?
For breakfast on the sixth day, Zhu Yu and the others cooked porridge themselves.
I really can’t get used to that sticky stuff.
Millet porridge, pancakes, just a bite of pickles, it tastes really good!
After breakfast, Yin Man brought Edo over, and Zhu Yu thought it was time to come.
"Mr. Zhu, thank you for helping us so much."
"It should be." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
In fact, he was a little anxious. The junction of Gobi and desert is almost insulated from modern society, which is really difficult for Zhu Yu.
Fortunately, he also knew that such days would not last long.
"Mr. Zhu, five days have passed and no one will come here anymore. So I think I can send someone to take you to find the legendary treasure."
Zhu Yu showed a worried expression:
"It won't affect everyone's safety, right? Although they have been training for a few days, at present, they have not necessarily achieved combat effectiveness."
"It's okay, they are born warriors. They will fight tooth and nail for their home!" Elder Yin Man said as he walked towards the outside of the village with Zhu Yu.
"Actually, if you hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have approved of you searching for that treasure."
Elder Yin Man's words were very sincere, and Zhu Yu had doubts.
“That place, according to legend, was once the place where God scrolled.
A long time ago, there was a big river here. There are oases nearby, people live a prosperous life, and you can find food everywhere. We can even grow the crops we like to eat just like the outside world.
In order to thank the gods for their gifts, people built magnificent temples and donated a large number of treasures. Countless people were proud to enter the temples to serve the gods.
At that time, this vast land had countless villages and many cities.
Later, I don’t know when, it became a place abandoned by gods.
There is no water in the river, all the fish are dead, and the crops are also sunburned. The days are getting hotter and the food is getting less and less.
The attendants in the temple thought that someone had offended the god, so they started a large number of human sacrifices, and many people began to flee from here. Those who stayed either starved to death or were captured by the temple attendants.
Years passed, and finally, the temple was destroyed by the rebels, most of the divine attendants were killed, and most of the remaining people left here.
However, there is never a shortage of people who care about the treasures in the temple.
Later, groups of people entered the desert from the outside in search of treasures, but they were unsuccessful and no one went out.
It is said that a few decades ago, the largest group of people looking for treasures numbered thousands, driving dozens of cars into the desert. In the end, no one came out.
Everyone who knew the news slowly died. In recent years, fewer people have entered the desert.
Not only people from the outside world, but also the entire area, not many people know that there are treasures deep in the desert.
By our generation, only the elders of three villages knew about it.
And those two elders were also killed some time ago. "
An ordinary man is innocent, but he is guilty of having a jade!
"So actually I want to advise you not to go after that treasure. You can also find some shiny stones near our village - the raw stones of gems."
Elder Yin Man looked at Zhu Yu with cunning eyes:
"Actually, I know the value of those things. But those things cannot be exchanged for anything in our hands. Only by trading with you can we exchange for useful things."
Zhu Yu nodded.
This thing just depends on your mood, as long as you think it's worth it.
"And we only dare to trade with you." Elder Yin Man sighed:
"There used to be a village in the east. It was because some people exchanged stones for things with people from outside. Then those people brought many people and wiped out the entire village..."
People's hearts are evil, there's no way to talk about this kind of thing.
"We still want to see the treasure." Zhu Yu thought for a while and insisted.
"Oh, actually I also know that I can't persuade you." Elder Yin Man shook his head:
“Everyone has a sense of luck and thinks why can’t he be the one who gets lucky?
Mr. Zhu, I will give you a map that can guide you to the mountain closest to the temple. But the rest is up to you to find.
Let me remind you that along the way, you will encounter sandstorms, quicksand and some things that may violate your common sense. If that is the case, I advise you to quit as soon as possible..."
Zhu Yu nodded.
"I won't send anyone out. The village is currently short of people. In fact, I'm not sure if anyone will come. The soldiers you train for us still need to be trained well..."
"It's okay, just have a map." Zhu Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, here you go." Elder Yin Man took out a map drawn on some unknown leather from his robe and handed it to Zhu Yu, then pointed to a point on it and said:
"This is our village. This curved line is a dry river. You can go up along this river... This is the mountain closest to the temple. The temple is located in this direction..."
Zhu Yu took the map and solemnly thanked Elder Yin Man.
"You're welcome. As you said, we are collaborators and friends. In fact, I only chose to cooperate with you Chinese after asking about it.
It’s not that no outsiders came here and chose to do this before, but in the end, they always wanted to silence the people in the village and reap the benefits..."
A look of sadness flashed across Elder Yin Man's face, which reminded Zhu Yu of the movie "Red River Valley". I thought it was a friend, but I didn't expect it was a jackal!
Ran Jie and the others received Zhu Yu's instructions and began to prepare.
Buckets of water were loaded onto the off-road vehicle, and some gasoline and other supplies were also prepared. Edo silently put the water from the pickup truck onto the off-road vehicle, and also picked up a few packages of dried meat.
Looking at his eager and envious eyes, Zhu Yu knew that Edo wanted to go with them.
But without Elder Yin Man's words, Edo could only stay in the village.
Moreover, his wife held his arm tightly and kept saying something, obviously not wanting him to go.
Zhu Yu thought to himself, could it really be that scary there?
Saying goodbye to Elder Yin Man and others, Zhu Yu and the others slowly started the car, drove out of the village, and turned into the dry river.
As long as it's not the rainy season here, it's basically sunny. Although it was only morning, the heat wave in the river was already coming in waves.
The river is dry and relatively flat, and occasionally fish and dead bird bones can be seen.
Probably because of the sandy river bottom, it did not break into pieces. Instead, it was as if someone had pushed it with a tool, and it was very smooth.
The river is about two hundred meters wide, and the banks on both sides are five or six meters high. Zhu Yu could imagine that when there was water in the past, it was considered a big river.
"Boss, what is the treasure we are looking for this time?" Cao Dalong asked through the intercom.
Zhu Yu glanced at Ran Jie who was driving, took the walkie-talkie and said:
"It's an ancient temple. You'll know what it contains when you get there."
Thinking about it, Ran Jie was lucky to encounter something like this when traveling.
"Ran Jie, if you really want to find the treasure, you will share 10%. Then you two will share another 20% together." Zhu Yu first said it openly.
Ran Jie was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said nothing.
Anyway, he will keep whatever Zhu Yu gives him now.
The reason why Zhu Yu takes the big head is that the expenses are his own.
Secondly, judging from what Yin Man said, if there is a treasure, it may be difficult for ordinary people to find it.
He has the Sky Eye, which is a cheating artifact. The best chance of finding treasures is relying on the Sky Eye.
Then you should take the big head yourself.
Ran Jie provided such a piece of information, so it is natural that he should be rewarded more.
The premise is that the treasure can be found.
As the car drove past, it became even hotter outside.
Two hours later, the car stopped at a bend in the dry river.
The high cliffs beside the river here stand upright for seven or eight meters, and the shadows can basically block some sunlight.
The four people who got off the car set up a tent and hid inside to escape the heat.
"Rest during the day and wait until evening before walking. Otherwise, I think the wheels will be sunburned."
Zhu Yu looked at the map and made a decision.
"Boss, how long do we have to go?" Cao Dalong took a sip of water and slowly sipped it in his mouth.
Entering the desert, all supplies are in the car, and no one dares to waste water now.
"According to the current road, it will take another three days by car." Zhu Yu roughly estimated, "The main reason is that we can't drive fast in the river. It's hot today, and it will be troublesome if something goes wrong with the car."
After confirming the next itinerary plan, everyone relaxed.
"I'm going to have a look in the river." Zhu Yu ate some dry food, then stood up and planned to do some activities.
He strolled forward with an engineering shovel in hand.
"Boss, wait for me." Cao Dalong hurriedly followed, "I'm also a little curious. I didn't expect that there are ancient rivers in this desert Gobi. I wonder if they were similar to our Loulan in the past."
Zhu Yu thought to himself, that's pretty much the same.
Not long after walking out, Zhu Yu stopped at a bend in the river.
"Boss, have you found anything?" Cao Dalong keenly felt the possibility of the matter.
"Look at this bend in the river, it's where the backwater flows. If something washes down from the upper reaches, it will usually stay here."
"I'll dig it!"
Cao Dalong immediately took the engineering shovel from Zhu Yu's hand and started digging in the sand.
"This soil is so hard!" When he shoveled down the soil, he could only get out half a shovelful of soil. Cao Dalong couldn't help complaining, "It's almost time to catch up with the rocks."
With Cao Dalong's current strength, a shovelful of ordinary land would naturally be full.
Now he pushed the shovel down, and with a "dang" sound, he was really close to catching up with the stone.
"The river has been dry for so long and been exposed to the sun for who knows how many hundreds of years. Wouldn't it be hardened like a stone? Maybe after many years, it will really turn into a stone."
Fortunately, the hard part is only the upper layer of shell, which is more than 20 centimeters. When this layer of shell is pried open, the sand and soil below will become soft.
After digging for half an hour, a large pit with a diameter of two meters and a depth of almost one meter was dug out.
"Boss, there may be nothing down here..." Cao Dalong was sweating. All the food I ate just now turned into sweat, and the energy converted has been almost exhausted.
"You dig a few more shovels." Zhu Yu smiled, "How about I come?"
"Okay." Cao Dalong was not polite. He was really a little tired.
"I'm here." Zhu Yu replaced Cao Dalong and started digging at the bottom of the pit.
"Dang!" The engineer shoveled down and hit a hard object!
As soon as he went up, Cao Dalong, who had not yet turned around, was stunned.
Then he turned around, looked at the bottom of the pit and asked Zhu Yu:
"Boss...is it a stone?"
"Does it sound like stone to you?" Zhu Yu asked him.
"That is……"
"I think it's metal. I still need to shovel it out to see what it is."
After saying that, Zhu Yu began to carefully shovel the soil on the thing.
Cao Dalong regretted that his intestines were turning green!
I am just a little bit behind!
Zhu Yu finished cleaning the sand and soil on the things, and part of the outline was exposed.
"This is a copper candlestick." Zhu Yu said, "There is a handle underneath. It should be a candlestick inserted in a certain position."
"It's copper, then it's okay." Cao Dalong breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.
"But it is gilded with gold. It is probably used in the rooms of some high-ranking clergy or nobles."
Zhu Yu added.
"Boss, is it valuable?" Cao Dalong asked immediately after hearing this.
"It's not small, it's not heavily rusted, and it's beautifully cast. You see, there are reliefs on all sides. Something like this can still be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auctions in Europe and the United States."
"So expensive?" Cao Dalong was very surprised.
"It's yours, come down and take it out!" Zhu Yu put down the shovel and jumped up.
Cao Dalong immediately jumped down and carefully pulled out the candlestick.
Sure enough, the rust is not very obvious, probably because this is a desert.
With a gentle rub, you can see the gilding of the relief edges on both sides and the exquisite relief lines.
Really exquisite.
Cao Dalong wiped the candlestick clean and handed it to Zhu Yu.
"I told you it's yours." Zhu Yu pointed at such a big pit and said with a smile, "I think it's too heavy!"
"Then I'll keep it!" Cao Dalong smiled and put the candlestick under his arm.
"You're not afraid of rubbing off the gold on the relief."
"It's okay!" Cao Dalong was also worried.
Zhu Yu continued to walk forward. In fact, there were some small things underneath, but they were buried deep, so he didn't want to dig anymore.
After walking forward for more than a hundred meters, the river turned due south. The sun could no longer block it, so Zhu Yu planned to walk back.
Glancing over the river bank from the corner of his eye, he suddenly said "Hey", took the engineer's shovel from Cao Dalong's hand, and started shoveling on the river bank cliff.
"Boss, what's... up there?"
Cao Dalong changed the position of the candlestick under his arm and asked curiously.
"Let me see...this should be a gem."
Zhu Yu took out a baby's fist-sized, transparent stone with a little blue light from the soil.
"Sapphire?" Cao Dalong had seen this thing before, and he immediately said: "It should be aquamarine, right?"
"Absolutely." Zhu Yu held up the stone and looked at it through the sunlight, nodded and said, "It should be."
"Such a big piece...it's amazing!"
Although Cao Dalong had seen Zhu Yu's many magical scenes of searching for treasures, now that he could find such a large piece of aquamarine, he still couldn't help but envy him.
I’m really envious!
Of course, envy is envy, and Cao Dalong also knows that he is not capable of this. But if you follow Zhu Yu and you have meat to eat, there is no problem.
Just by digging a sand pit, you got a candlestick worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Others must be envious of this luck, right?
The two of them walked back together to the car. Qin Fei was resting and Ran Jie had already reached the river bank and was on guard.
At this moment, Ran Jie suddenly shouted from the shore:
"There is a plane passing by, please be careful!"
Then the roar of the aircraft engine was heard.
Looking up, I saw a plane flying high in the sky, and something was shining on it!
