Chapter 192: Don’t Let This Zhu Go Treasure Hunting Again!(1/2)
The young man's name is Howard, a native of New York. He is very interested in treasure hunting.
However, because my family was not well off, I didn’t get my first metal detector until I graduated and started working.
After buying the metal detector, Howard considered himself a treasure hunter.
He has indeed helped many people find things. The most famous and valuable thing he likes to say is that he helped the neighbor's fat aunt find her wedding ring that had been missing for several years.
This is a treasure hunting experience that Howard is proud of.
However, he was not satisfied. After work, he often took his precious metal detector with him to look for places where he could detect it.
Sometimes, Howard is really envious of his treasure friends on the Internet, especially those in Europe, where you can see ancient buildings from hundreds of years ago everywhere.
He rarely saw old buildings near New York. Occasionally, he found out about one or two older houses. Before he could check them out, they would be driven away by their owners, and sometimes they would be pointed at guns. It was very disturbing.
of humiliation.
When he learned that there was a treasure hunt contest here, Howard was very excited and rushed here early.
These estates have a long history and are privately owned.
Without the owner's permission, it would be impossible for him to come in at ordinary times - however, now even if there is a possibility of fair entry, but because there is no invitation letter, he can only wait for the guests to search for half an hour before they can enter!
Bullshit rules!
Just like the two Chinese people who came in just now, Howard bet that their postures holding the detectors were so unfamiliar, they must have gotten the invitations through connections!
At this moment, Howard felt insulted!
People with such connections can go in openly, but "professionals" like myself can only wait outside. What an inequality this is!
Howard was holding back his anger. After he entered, he was going to show the two Chinese boys that he was the real treasure hunter!
Sure enough, not long after entering, Howard used his quick movements and skills to find several places with metal sensors.
Although the things I found were not very valuable, they were enough to cover the cost of this trip.
I’ve seen treasure hunting competitions in Europe on the Internet. Isn’t that the case?
There are only a few people who can actually find valuable things. Most people just come here to join in the fun and try their luck.
Howard circled around Zhu Yu and Ran Jie twice, and the purpose was obvious.
Ran Jie got angry and planned to drive the person away.
But Zhu Yu held him back. He had no time to pay attention to this middle-aged white boy now. He still had important things to verify.
Zhu Yu's tolerance made Howard even more arrogant. He thought that Zhu Yu, like the Chinese students he met in school, would only shrink back when things happened, even if he was right.
Then don’t blame yourself!
Howard was angry and had nowhere to go. Because of Zhu Yu's generosity, he became even more unscrupulous!
I walked past Zhu Yu and Ran Jie again and again, and even put the metal detector in front of Zhu Yu and Ran Jie twice.
"Teach him a lesson, just don't beat him to death!" Zhu Yu felt that his kindness really fed the dog!
This was what Ran Jie was waiting for. He saw that Howard heard it, but didn't take it seriously. He didn't put down the shovel and metal detector in his hand, and suddenly jumped up and kicked Howard in the chest!
Howard, who was 1.8 meters tall, was kicked to the ground!
Walking up to Howard, Ran Jie said coldly:
"Stop walking around us like a dog, or I'll beat you until you don't even recognize your mother!"
After saying that, he followed Zhu Yu to find the treasure.
Howard lay on the ground in humiliation. He knew that even if he got up, he would not be his opponent!
However, the sound he heard not far away made him even more sad:
"Did you see that idiot ran over to provoke others several times? Did he get beaten this time?"
"This is what he deserves! Doesn't he know that those two Chinese people have invitation letters? Can people who come in with invitation letters be ordinary people?"
"It's such a shame! If you don't have the ability, you should just go hunting for treasures. It's really stupid to look for trouble!"
…
There was little support or even sympathy from those treasure hunters.
After a while, Howard got up. He originally wanted to say harsh words to Zhu Yu and Ran Jie, but found that the other party had already walked away.
"This bastard," Ran Jie couldn't help but cursed after walking a long way, "he really takes himself seriously!"
"There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people." Zhu Yu was not surprised, "There are always people who can't stand us, and there are always people who need us to fix them.
What we have to do is to reach a height that they can only look up to but cannot reach, and then we won’t have so many worries.”
Then he stopped, pointed to his feet and said:
"It should be right here."
"What's here?" Ran Jie was a little surprised, but then he realized, "You mean there is a treasure here?"
"I guess it should be here." Zhu Yu pointed at the two big trees in the distance, then turned and pointed at the small building.
Ran Jie immediately lowered his head and used a metal detector to explore, but there was no response.
"No need to look, someone just checked it and there was no reaction," Zhu Yu said.
"Then are you sure you're here?" Ran Jie reluctantly scanned it with a metal detector, and sure enough, there was no reaction.
At this time, old George walked over leisurely, holding not a metal detector, but a cane.
Seeing Zhu Yu standing still, he asked:
"Mr. Zhu, have you discovered it?"
Zhu Yu did not answer, but asked:
"Can anything found in this manor be taken away?"
"Yes." George said proudly and with a somewhat reserved tone:
“It actually took a lot of effort for us to persuade the owner of this manor to open the manor to the treasure hunt competition.
Blackstone Manor is a relatively well-known manor in the New York treasure hunting community. There have always been legends that there are treasures here, and it is even more famous than the one where I lived.
But the treasure has never been found, so some people think this legend is false.
The owner of the Black Stone is a wealthy businessman. He doesn't care much about treasures and is very friendly to our treasure hunter organization.
One of our treasure hunters once did him a big favor, so we persuaded him to take out Blackstone Manor and host a treasure hunting contest, and he agreed."
George's meaning was very clear. The success of this treasure hunting contest was due to the efforts of these old guys.
"The owner of Blackstone Manor also said at that time that if you really want to find the treasure, you only need to name it after the Blackstone Treasure. Whoever finds the treasure will own it."
After the explanation, George reacted:
"Mr. Zhu, have you found the treasure?"
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"I'm just inferring."
He turned around and pointed to the deepest part of the manor, where there was a big tree.
Between this big tree and Zhu Yu, there is also a big tree.
"Look, where I am now should be at the extension point of those two big trees." Zhu Yu pointed to his feet:
"And if we calculate the distance, the distance from the big tree in the middle to me and the big tree in the distance should be equal."
What reason is this?
Seeing that Ran Jie and George were both disapproving, Zhu Yu smiled, turned around, and continued:
"Look, the distance from me to the main building of the manor should be the same as the distance from me to the big tree in the middle."
George and Ran Jie did not expect this, nor did they notice it.
After some observation, I realized that it must be right!
This time, both George and Ran Jie's expressions changed slightly!
If Zhu Yu's previous words were just speculation without evidence, then with the addition of this small building, this speculation becomes somewhat credible!
After all, those two big trees do look like they are hundreds of years old.
And Zhu Yu's second sentence was not just about distance. Looking from them, the main building, where Zhu Yu was standing, and the two big trees happened to be in the same straight line!
Moreover, the big tree in the middle and the point where Zhu Yu is standing basically divide this line segment into three equal segments!
This can't be a coincidence!
Zhu Yu felt a little proud and proud in his heart!
This was not something he could see with his clairvoyance.
This is a conclusion reached through analysis and observation after entering the manor.
Then, after scanning with the Sky Eye, this was confirmed!
