Chapter 66: Who's Joking
Just busy mopping the floor.
As she wondered what Miss Avril was holding, she suddenly remembered the animal skin paintings that had wrapped the golden bird, and was completely ignorant of the so-called treasure in her mouth, and was completely confused.
"These paintings are obviously treasure maps, haven't you seen them?" Seeing Zhang Xiaokai's blank eyes, Avril added, speaking in a magnetic voice.
"I've seen it, but I don't care about the pattern painted on it, where is the treasure drawn?"
Curious, he leaned over and placed the mop in the plastic bucket.
"It's supposed to be a set of patterns, the order is out of order, I don't know very well, but I can probably think of the many Indians who died after encountering the enemy, and they buried a bunch of things in the cave. β
"It's been so long, maybe it's been robbed by someone else, if it's for the sake of wealth to slaughter the Indians, there's no reason not to take the spoils of war away, isn't it like this in the era of the Great Voyage Colonization. β
Zhang Xiaokai was still looking through it carefully, and when he saw the animal skin painted with a golden bird and a group of people kneeling around it to worship, his fingers trembled subconsciously.
On the day the Indian wood carving was broken, all his attention was focused on the exquisitely shaped golden bird, and he didn't pay any attention to these animal skins, which were placed on the bookshelf at the beginning, and he forgot about their existence when he came and went.
At this moment, I was reminded by the singer Miss Avril, and only then did I react, it was really a legendary treasure map.
She didn't know much about this area, and Zhang Xiaokai liked to walk around when he had nothing to do, and even knew very well where the big stone painted on the picture was, in the small valley behind her house, which was buried in the mud.
According to what is depicted on the map, the stone was brought from elsewhere and used to block the entrance to the cave.
This made Zhang Xiaokai very interested, and said in his mouth: "You haven't started filming yet, right, you come with me first." β
"Where?" Avril asked him.
"I'll know when I see you!"
Leaving through the back door, I walked two or three hundred meters along the path, and Avril's bodyguards and assistants also followed, even if Zhang Xiaokai was just a child, they were still not at ease.
It was almost dark, and there was only a little blue afterglow.
Zhang Xiaokai held the animal skin painting in his hand, which was hard, like some kind of air-dried tree bark, turned his head and asked: "It's this stone, right, it's very similar, even this gap is drawn." β
It's such a big stone, it must weigh seven or eight tons, and the hills on this side of Cleveland Ranch are covered by grass and trees, and there are few big stones like this, so when Zhang Xiaokai saw this animal skin painting, he instantly remembered its existence.
Miss Avril said in a surprised tone, "It's really exactly the same! No, it can't be anyone's prank, right?"
I had just discovered the picture on the hide, and it had only been a long time before I was brought to the stone on the pattern, and it was not normal for anyone to look at it.
But that's just the coincidence.
Zhang Xiaokai was the discoverer of these hides, and he was sure that no one had seen them for at least a hundred or even hundreds of years during the decay of the wood carvings.
This means that if you're lucky enough to find something behind the rocks, call your dad and ask him to call the car and the ranch staff and tell him that they've found a clue to the treasure.
After doubting the letter, Father Zhang drove over, looked at the big stone after reading the animal skin, scratched his head and said: "I don't even know who drew these pictures, this house has been lived in by many people before your grandfather, maybe someone joked and drew such treasure maps by themselves."
Kenny and little Patrick are tired today, don't mess around here, let's go home and eat together, dinner has been delivered, and his pizza tastes pretty good. β
Thinking that it was almost the truth, Miss Avril didn't take it to heart, and her bodyguards and assistants didn't care, so they went back first.
Zhang Xiaokai is left without giving up.
He never told his father or anyone else about what he found in the woodcarving ornaments last year, the old Ronald rarely read, and he didn't even find a missing wood carving in the study from beginning to end, in fact, the old man didn't know that he still had such a "woodcarving handicraft" at home.
As a result, I was speechless at the moment, and when I was called into the car by my father, my mind was full of thoughts about the stone and what might be hidden behind the stone.
I hurried home for dinner and drank Coke until I hiccuped, then I got a flashlight, a shovel, and ran around the rock, trying to prove that there was a hole in the back of the stone.
A shovel in the east, a shovel in the west, the pillar of light dangled around, and happened to meet Tom, the fat cat who went out for a walk in a group, and the chubby big tail red panda, these two guys were not in a hurry to go, they actually squatted there to watch Zhang Xiaokai busy with his work.
The stones are next to the moss-covered rock wall, and they have been in the shade for a long time, and a thick layer of soil has accumulated over the years between the gaps where the two meet.
Biting the flashlight in his mouth, his mouth soon began to ache, and after thinking about it, he went home and drove a Ford Raptor pickup truck over and shone the lamp into the neighborhood.
After looking at the terrain, start preparing to dig a slope and then use the force to make the stones fall down the slope.
It's a good idea, it's much better than just moving this big rock, but it's a pity that no one helps, and it's too hard to dig alone.
Thinking that little Patrick and the others had almost finished dinner, he called him, told him where he was, and then asked him to find someone, bring thick rope and digging tools.

in the house.
The director has finished filming and is ready to return to San Francisco overnight.
Miss Avril came at this moment and told Daddy Zhang, "Your son has gone to dig for treasure at the stone again, I saw him drive away on the balcony just now, it is very dangerous outside so late, I think it would be better to inform you." β
"It's okay, I'll get him back later, children like treasures, it's naΓ―ve. β
Wait until the crew leaves, let these cars go out to help tie the ranch gate, and the gate can be seen from the home monitor, so there is no fear of cattle and sheep escaping.
Rather than cattle and sheep fleeing on their own, now we should be more worried about someone stealing cattle and sheep, after the news of the sky-high beef price at Cleveland Ranch came, the probability of being targeted has skyrocketed, and now even began to organize cowboys to patrol at night, and there are plans to install high-voltage power lines.
After cleaning up a little, he closed the door and drove the big G out, ready to get his son back.
Just a little far away, when I arrived, I saw several cars parked, and tractors were rushing to this side, and the battle was similar to the construction of the engineering team, and a big hole had been dug.
Daddy Zhang wondered, "Kenny, Hank, what are you people doing, my son is messing around, why are you messing around with you?" β
"Matt said that just remove this stone and invite us to drink later, of course this kind of good thing should not be missed!" Hank laughed, crawling out of the pit and packing up his tools as the others left.
The stone had been tied, just waiting for the tractor to come and move it away, and the two Raptor pickups were also tied to the stone......
