Tao Xi sat upright in the room and watched the water in the cup placed on the floor swaying rhythmically under the moonlight.

The ripples in the water glass are rippling round and round, just like trucks passing by in the American and Australian communities~

Tao Xi stood up quietly, put on his clothes and looked towards the narrow path at the door of the house. It was obvious that the narrow path was not big enough to pass a truck.

"If you are interested, why not take a look at the floor on the first floor? The floor there is almost warping. Ms. Eugenie must not have renovated it. Moreover, this house is too remote and there is no sewerage below."

The words Marco said during the day once again floated through Tao Xi’s mind~

"Is it possible that someone is digging a tunnel down there?" Tao Xi muttered in a low voice, and the sound of Marco grinding his teeth seemed to confirm Tao Xi's words.

Huge curiosity is everyone's instinct, and Tao Xi is no exception!

Tao Xi carefully walked out of the house with the shovel he used to pry the floor during the day. The night in the suburbs of Brentwood community was very cold, and a gust of cold wind blew past, making Tao Xi shiver unconsciously.

Tao Xi looked at the brightly lit scene of the Brentwood community not far away and the scenery around his house was very different.

Tao Xi smoothed the clothes around his neck and lay on the ground~

Tao Xi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly found that the muffled "dong dong dong" sound had disappeared again!

If you want to live in the sewer, you must be able to endure loneliness. This is the case for Tao Xi. Tao Xi, who was lying on the ground, held his breath and waited patiently for the "muffled sound" to come again.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

"This should be the sound of smashing the wall. The vibration of the ground caused the surrounding sounds to reverberate, and the sound of digging the wall underground must not be very far away from me!" Tao Xi silently analyzed the muffled sound under his feet and tried to find this group of people.

There, if you take a step forward, lie down on the ground and listen for a while; if you take a step forward, lie on the ground and listen for a while.

The [muffled sound] under my feet doesn’t seem to be very far away from Taoxi’s house~

When Tao Xi walked around to a nursery behind the house, Tao Xi looked down at the stones on the ground under his feet rolling with a muffled sound of "dong dong dong", a smile appeared on the corner of Tao Xi's mouth~

Tao Xi split the shovel in his hand into two parts, and the shovel and handle were directly divided into two parts.

In order to find this location the next day, Tao Xi directly placed the shovel in his hand directly above the nursery.

Taosi, who was holding the handle of the shovel, did not act rashly. Instead, he walked into the house and woke up Marco and Nilta, who was snoring upstairs.

The two sleepy-eyed people looked at Tao Xi, whose eyes were shining brightly, and didn't know what to say~

"You said that in this era there are still people digging tunnels at night. What are they trying to do?"

Marco yawned and muttered with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Just dig tunnels. What can we do? I want to sleep~"

Nilta also complained with a bored look: "Do you think it's still the last century? The Brentwood community was a famous gold mining area in Los Angeles before. Brentwood was under our feet as early as 1874.

The gold mine has been dug clean! Are you still digging a tunnel? I’m not afraid that if the tunnel collapses, you will be crushed to death~"

"Digging gold mines?" Tao Xi asked with great interest when he heard Nilta's answer: "Is the gold mine so easy to dig?"

"Easy to dig? Oh, it is indeed easy to dig in Los Angeles. They are all surface gold mines. As long as there is a stream, you can wash it by hand and you will get gold sand. But now the gold mines in Los Angeles have long been dug out, unless you find a

Go wash the abandoned mine inside! But that is illegal." Nilta answered Tao Xi's question with her eyes closed and lay down again, but Tao Xi muttered excitedly after hearing Nilta's answer:

"I know! I know! Those bullshit modern oil painting writers are also fake! They must have bought that oil painting from a pawn shop to launder their illegally stolen gold sand!"

Tao Xi was spinning happily in circles as he thought about this. His mind naturally thought of the Portuguese couple who tried to bid for this house with him that day!

And the Portuguese couple's fingers were full of mud, which made it all clear.

Tao Xi, who had his joints opened, grabbed Marco's ears and prepared to go to the creek in the back mountain~

The reason why the Brentwood community is so expensive is because of the existence of the creek, but all the conditions of the Brentwood community are very consistent with the existence of the "wash hole".

"What are you doing! I still have to sleep, and I have to work with you tomorrow."

"Work? No more! Let's go make money and eat black!" After Tao Xi said this, he walked forward with his head sullen. Marco, who was still a little sleepy, heard "Black"

When I heard the words "eat black", I instantly became energetic.

"But if we fight against each other, is it enough for just the two of us?"

Tao Xi also paused when he heard Marco's words, but soon Tao Xi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, let's go check out the spots today. It doesn't have to be today."

I have to say that the environment of the Brentwood community is really good and the air is very fresh. Tao Xi took a few deep breaths here and suddenly felt that his nervous mood was much relaxed.

"There are people here! And they don't take a shower." Marco moved his head and "sniffed" his nose vigorously.

When Tao Xi heard Marco's warning, he immediately pulled Marco down and bent down. Fortunately, the surrounding bushes were relatively tall, which could perfectly hide the traces of the brothers.

Two men carrying soil baskets passed by the bushes of the Tao Xi brothers.

"Are you sure no one will find that house?"

"I don't know either. Yoram said he went to see him this morning and nothing happened. They are a bunch of brainless punks."

Two men carrying soil baskets passed by them in a carefree manner. Tao Xi heard what they said. When he saw this scene, Tao Xi didn't know that these people were "cave washing"!

Tao Xi waved to Marco, who was standing aside with wide eyes and a look of astonishment on his face, gesturing to follow the two men. The two men were very familiar with the surrounding road conditions, and it was obvious that they were working here for more than a day or two.

You must know that Tao Xi stepped into several puddles in the bushes in order to follow these two people.

After walking for a few minutes, a huge puddle appeared in front of Tao Xi. Next to the puddle were squatting several women. Several women stood in the puddle with their trousers rolled up, holding baskets and swaying in the water. Everyone

Wearing a miner's lamp on his head~

There is a pile of soil half a person's height piled on the edge of the pool.

"They are really digging for gold! This group of people, I have seen this method on the big screen of the cinema when we were hiding in the sewers." Marco muttered to Tao Xi with a surprised look on his face.

But Tao Xi stared at his big eyes and looked around. After all, these people were "washing holes" here openly at night. There was no way no one was watching around~

Instead, Marco sniffed hard. Just when Tao Xi wanted to take a few steps forward, Marco suddenly grabbed Tao Xi and pushed him to the ground. Tao Xi wrinkled in the direction of Marco's fingers.

I glanced over and saw a child wearing binoculars standing on a sycamore tree, yawning and spinning around the treetops like a searchlight.

"This is a family workshop!"

"It should be, that child must be the child of that group of people."

Tao Xi watched the scene of several people looking down at the scene of using miner's lamps to pick gold in the basket, and his heart kept beating rapidly. Instead, Marco held a piece of horsetail grass in his mouth and looked at a red piece of wood placed on the river bank with interest.

box.

It took a long time for the two men carrying soil baskets to walk from the edge of the pool in the direction Tao Xi came from.

Tao Xi raised his head and took advantage of the moment when the children standing on the treetop turned around to watch, and jumped into the bushes on the opposite side. One of the men even looked back.

"What's wrong?"

"There was a gust of wind blowing behind me just now."

"Oh, don't be so nervous. We have been digging here for almost two months without anyone noticing. If everything goes well, we can go back to China with our distant relative who is an athlete."

"I don't want to go back, why go back? Continue mining?"

"Hahaha, I knew you were attracted to that bitch who lives in Los Angeles County."

The two of them left here laughing and cursing all the way. Then Tao Xi covered his mouth and stuck his head out of the bushes to follow the two of them.

A half-meter-high mine on a hillside soon appeared in front of Tao Xi's eyes. However, the two men carrying soil baskets did not rush in. Instead, they took out an oxygen tank directly above the mine.

Can!

Tao Xi was stunned for a moment after seeing the appearance of professional equipment such as oxygen tanks, but soon the two men hunched over and crawled into the mine one after the other.

Tao Xi lay down on the ground and followed the two men in. In order not to let the two people in front of him find out, Tao Xi counted 500 times at the entrance of the mine before going in.

Entering the mine, it was as if Tao Xi had returned to the sewer. Although it was dark and wintery inside, Tao Xi was not afraid at all.

After a while, Tao Xi got used to the environment inside. Taking advantage of the moonlight at the entrance of the cave, Tao Xi could still find new marks on the wall. The mine was loose on the outside and tight on the inside~

Tao Xi didn't know how long he had been crawling in the cave, but Tao Xi slowly straightened up from crawling. For some reason, Tao Xi felt that it was getting more and more difficult for him to breathe inside.

Finally, just when Tao Xi was about to quit, a "dong dong dong" sound sounded inside the cave.

The muffled conversations of several people also came over. Tao Xi looked over under the dim miner's lamp. There were four people in total chiseling at the edge of a raised stone~

One of them was still holding the wooden board in his hand to try to strengthen the position above his head, but the dust above his head fell down.

The other person who just came in silently used a dustpan to fill the soil basket with soil~

Suddenly, the man who had been using wooden boards to reinforce the space above his head loosened his grip, and a wooden board fell directly onto a piece of wood leaning in the mine, and the piece of wood broke.

"Crash!" The heads of the two people collapsed directly, but fortunately the collapse was not very big, but Tao Xi felt the circulating air pouring into his nose in an instant, and he was a little suffocated to breathe.

Tao Xi, who was in trouble, felt much better.

Tao Xi didn't understand the jabbering language, but seeing how busy those people were, Tao Xi also inferred something about it.

It was obviously because the collapse of the land above his head made the man who had been wielding the pickaxe a little angry. To Tao Xi's surprise, the shovel head that he had inserted into the garden nursery also fell down.

After seeing this, Tao Xi didn't want to stay here anymore, because he also knew where these Portuguese people were digging.

Knowing the cause and effect of the incident, Tao Xi was about to turn around and leave when he noticed some hands under his knees. Tao Xi grabbed a handful and caught a stone the size of a fingernail. Just as he was about to throw the stone away, Tao Xi found it in his hand.

This stone is glowing!

Tao Xi, who didn't care about this, put it in his pocket and started to leave quickly outside, because the two men inside who were carrying soil baskets were about to leave the cave.
