Chapter 496 It’s not easy to have a monk!

The people above were all waiting for Zhu Yu to come up. And Gru looked at the snake from time to time, his eyes full of awe.

Croya couldn't help but lie down at the entrance of the cave and shouted:

"Zhu, are you okay?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yu's response came up, "Wait for me and I'll go up in a while."

"Then please pay attention to your safety." After receiving Zhu Yu's response, Croya no longer worried so much. She went to drag her backpack over and packed it up at the entrance of the cave.

Cao Dalong and Qin Fei had already packed their bags. One climbed up to the roof next door to see if there were any accidents, while the other started to prepare food.

Now that the sky is bright, the sun is shining down, and the moisture in the air is slowly drying out. Haruta Tomoko hides and goes to a shady place in the corner. She doesn't want to get tanned.

Ran Jie held the snake in one hand and simply propped up half of the tent at the entrance of the cave with the other hand to block the sun for Croya.

He won't think too much about Zhu Yu's love life, but Croya's current status is almost a quasi-proprietress, so she still needs to care about it.

Haruta Tomoko was a little envious and originally wanted to come over, but in the end she didn't.

She didn't want to bring trouble on herself.

Now Haruta Tomoko has understood that these people are completely centered on Zhu Yu. If she wants to be taken seriously, she really can only start from Zhu Yu.

"Come, it's time to eat." Qin Fei greeted there, "Drink some porridge first. Are you all hungry? You can continue working after you are full."

The aroma of the porridge filled the air, and everyone's stomachs were really growling - they had been in a panic all night, and the food they ate last night had long been digested.

Everyone has one, including Gru and Tomoko Haruta. Qin Fei didn't distinguish between them at this time.

After experiencing the snake disaster, everyone has become a small group and there is no need to separate them.

Zhu Yu didn't know what was being done underground. After more than ten minutes of digging, he dug out two snake heads.

It looks like jade, is very hard, and emits a faint shimmer in the dark.

There was a little weird feeling, but Zhu Yu was not afraid.

It's not a living thing anyway.

The four snake eyes are red, as if inlaid with rubies.

However, looking at it, it is integrated with the snake head, and there is no trace of inlay at all.

After Zhu Yu admired it for a while, he continued to dig.

This two-headed snake statue was very similar to the snake he caught earlier, but it was just a bit bigger.

Zhu Yu even suspected that there was any connection between the two.

The dug pit became deeper and deeper, and the body of the two-headed snake statue was gradually completely exposed.

Looking at the two-meter-high statue, Zhu Yu sighed:

it's beautiful!

However, he did not continue to appreciate it, but put the things into the space, and then continued to dig - the eyes of the sky showed that there were other things in the pit.

With his clairvoyance, Zhu Yu soon dug out a round jade piece the size of a fingernail, which was somewhat similar to a Go piece, but slightly thinner and greener.

After a while, Zhu Yu dug out more than a hundred pieces.

After cleaning up, Zhu Yu came out of the pit, stretched his waist, looked around, and found no other suspicious things, so he shoveled off a piece of wooden debris from the cave wall and started walking up.

Halfway through, he smelled the aroma of porridge, and then felt hungry.

Thinking that it must have been the work of Qin Fei and the others, Zhu Yu's steps quickened as he thought that he would be able to drink the fragrant porridge right away.

When the light in the cave brightened, Zhu Yu looked up and saw the entrance of the cave and the two heads at the entrance.

Ran Jie and Croya's.

"Zhu, you're here - great!"

"Boss, if you don't come up, Kroya will go down..." Ran Jie joked.

Although Zhu Yu said it was safe down here, Ran Jie was still a little worried.

But looking at Zhu Yu's expression now, there's really no need to worry.

Ran Jie pulled it, and Zhu Yu got up to the ground and handed the small bag of jasper tablets to Croya:

"Look, this is what's underneath, and this..." He handed over the wooden fragment again, "There's nothing else."

A jasper disk looked as if it had been polished, very smooth and beautiful, and it attracted Croya immediately.

Chinese jade has no status or is not recognized in the world jewelry market.

In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, jade is not considered jewelry.

Of course, in the eyes of people like Zhu Yu, or in the eyes of people who truly understand jade, there is no need for European and American approval.

After all, when the Chinese were promoting jade culture, those white people in Europe and America...oh no, there were no white people in America at that time.

At that time, white people in Europe were still acting like monkeys in trees.

But later I gained the right to speak, and I was afraid that Chinese culture would occupy the world market, so I stopped playing with it.

Of course, it also has something to do with some people messing around in the current jade market in China. After all, there are many fakes, and they are divided into many categories that laymen don’t understand at all, which makes it easy for people to suffer losses and be fooled.

This jasper disc is not completely round, it has a little oval feel, but it looks very beautiful.

"You can take it and play with it." Zhu Yu confessed, then turned to take the porridge bowl handed over by Qin Fei and started to drink it in big gulps.

Although I have energy in my body, I have worked hard all night and worked in a cave for so long in a humid environment. It is really comfortable to drink a bowl of hot porridge.

It would be better if I could take a shower at this time.

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

After dinner, everyone had almost packed up. At this time, Kroya and Haruta Tomoko were already studying the bag of jasper discs.

Unlike Croya who simply thinks this thing is beautiful, Haruta Tomoko, a Japanese girl, received orthodox Japanese education - that is, the cultural education that was passed down and evolved from the Sui and Tang Dynasties of China, and she is very knowledgeable about jade culture.

of.

So her eyes seemed to be filled with little stars at this moment.

All she needed was to say to Croya, "Give me these jade pieces."

But Croya is not stupid either. Zhu Yu dug it out hard in the ground and gave it to her specially. Even if she didn't know its value, she wouldn't give it away casually.

So Haruta Tomoko talked openly and secretly several times, but Croya just didn't answer her question.

"Okay, we've finished our tour of this village. Let's leave now." Zhu Yu picked up his backpack and said, "Let's go. Otherwise, if those snakes come back again, then we really have no choice."

Originally, Tomoko Haruta wanted to object. After all, this village had not been carefully searched.

But when Zhu Yu said that those snakes might come back, she immediately stopped talking, picked up her backpack and followed the team.

Ran Jie handed the snake to Zhu Yu and explored the path in front with his guide Gru, while Cao Dalong and Qin Fei finished at the back.

Although Gru was not the leader of the guide, the four guides had talked together before and knew where they were going next, so there was no pressure at all when leading the way.

Outside the village, they could still encounter sporadic snakes.

However, I don’t know whether it was because they were discouraged from the previous snake fight or because they were alone. After seeing people, these snakes basically burrowed into the bushes and escaped.

Because of the snake disaster, everyone was more careful when walking forward. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any large beasts along the way, and there were very few dangers.

Two days later, they came to a lake.

"This is the target area." Gru was very cooperative now. He found that Zhu Yu and the others were not as greedy or vicious as his leader said before.

They just came here to look for things. They did not damage the environment here, nor did they discriminate against their own beliefs. They were also very polite to themselves.

This is already very good.

Gru felt that he should have a good talk with Master Dut when he went back. In fact, these treasure hunters were quite good.

He knew that he was a man of few words, but these people had divine snakes in their hands!

I think Mr. Dutt will also be very interested!

"This lake used to belong to a temple. Later, the water in the lake rose and most of the temple was flooded, and then the place became empty." Since Gru was sent here as a guide, he is still very familiar with this place. "It turns out that

The monks have all left."

"When did it happen? Where did the monk go?" Zhu Yu asked.

"About thirty years ago?" Gru recalled with squinted eyes, "Some of the monks at that time went to other places to build new temples, some went to other temples, and some returned to secular life."

Gru was also fully prepared. Although Dutt seemed to have found four people at random, at least he had already figured out the information from Haruta Tomoko, and then he sent these four knowledgeable people to serve as guides.

Haruta Tomoko was a hindsight, but Zhu Yu had actually seen it a long time ago.

However, with the green snake in his hand and the better treasure in the space, Zhu Yu felt that he might be able to gain some benefits from Dutt this time.

As for Haruta Tomoko, just let it happen.
