Different majors naturally have different ways of looking at problems. Although Captain Connor is a top student with a double major in geography and history, and later becomes a mercenary, he has limitations in seeing problems, after all, his major is like this, and it is difficult to think outside this mindset.

But for Zheng Zheng, after he gets some news, he will immediately think and ponder in the way of an antique dealer. So this—let's call it a "story"—doesn't seem to be true to Captain Connor, but in Zheng Zheng's view, this kind of "story" passed down by local residents by word of mouth still has a certain meaning.

This is actually related to Zheng Zheng's profession. As an antique dealer, you have to go out to receive goods, but you can't be blind, you have to be able to find a place. And when it comes to finding a place, then the knowledge is great. The best place to look for the historical old city, which is a place with a heritage, and the chance of seeing antiques is a little greater than other places. And the work of finding a place is not over, and you have to inquire about the news.

If you pull someone down the street and ask someone "Do you have any antiques?" or something like that, you will inevitably be mistaken by someone for having something wrong with your head. So to inquire about the news, you have to go to the local elderly people, and when you see an old man basking in the sun, you go up and hand a cigarette to ask for directions, and open the topic. This requires a high level of speaking skills, you have to be able to quickly open the other party's chatterbox, you can't expose your intentions too much, and you have to be able to make the conversation go in the direction you need. If you don't have the ability to observe words and follow the words, you can't do this job at all.

And in this conversation, the question is not anything else, but about the history and stories of the city. A lot of clues about antiques are actually hidden in them. For example, if you randomly point to a statue or building that looks a little old, and sell it "I don't understand", it can often cause people to talk, and a lot of words will come out smoothly.

This kind of thing is not clear in one or two sentences, it is a set of ideas and words that have been saved over many years to talk to people, which is called "grasping the voice". And once you find out what anecdotes are in the history of this city, what are the monuments, where is the ancient city...... In a word, as long as it is anything related to antiques, a professional antique dealer can hear from these words, and it is even more convenient to sweep the antiques in this city. If the effort of "grasping the voice" is done in place, it is not impossible to pick up a leak in an inconspicuous place in this city.

And now in this situation, in Zheng Zheng's view, he inadvertently caught a "voice". Whether Julian and those silver coins really existed, Zheng Zheng didn't dare to pack tickets, but he could be sure to a large extent that even if Julian and these silver coins didn't exist, then this story should have a similar prototype.

If it is in China, if Zheng Zheng is fine, he may really dig up this matter. But now that he is in Argentina, there is this burning eyebrow-like matter waiting to be solved, even if Zheng Zheng has this guess in his heart, he doesn't have the effort and thought. So even if he felt that this matter had the value of digging deeper, Zheng Zheng didn't say much about Captain Connor.

In exchange, Zheng Zheng told a legend about an antique, which made Captain Connor happy to listen. The two had a few more drinks, and it wasn't too early for Captain Connor to leave.

After a night of silence, they turned their heads and came to the next day, everything was as usual, and the treasure hunt team changed direction and headed south.

On the way, the treasure hunt party passed by the deep pool where Captain Connor had previously mentioned burying Julian and tens of thousands of silver coins. It is said that there are also diving adventurers who come here for diving adventures, but they don't get much out of it. Although it was passing by, it was actually quite a distance, and Zheng Zheng could only take a look at it from a distance, and there was no chance to observe it up close.

The Andes Mountains are basically in a state of inhabitence, so there is no such thing as a "road" on the mountain, and you can only find a place where you can stand and stand on your feet. Even if the mercenaries were to open the way, the most they could do was to cut down the bushes that blocked the way, and no amount of them could help. Therefore, in many places where the road conditions are really dangerous, you can only take a detour for safety reasons.

This kind of thing can be eaten once or twice, but the more times it will be troublesome, and from time to time there is a "this road does not work, choose a detour, but this road does not work, and you have to continue to detour", this kind of thing happens, and the progress of the treasure hunt team is slower than expected, but it is not a little bit and a half. This is expected to be a distance that can be walked in three days, and it took five days to walk, and when it came to the fifth day of camping, Tony took out Sinan and looked at it, and finally brought good news: everyone is now not far from the location shown by Sinan, and there is a maximum distance of five kilometers.

After confirming that there would be no mistake in this news, Zheng Zheng and the four of them were naturally a little excited, discussed it, and made a plan to go to that location tomorrow and carry out a detailed search. Although those mercenaries didn't know what was happening, they also received news from Liu Yuanshu that they would no longer travel long distances tomorrow, but would search and survey in a short distance, which was also good news for them. Mercenaries are also people, and it is impossible to say that they are not tired in the past five days.

Early the next morning, everyone ate and drank enough, packed up their tents, and began to march in the direction that Sinan had guided.

The more he went in that direction, the more Zheng Zheng felt that something was not right. Along the way, he looked left and right, sometimes to the left and right, sometimes to the feet, frowning, not knowing what he was pondering.

Liu Yuanshu, who was on the side, saw that Zheng Zheng's reaction was a little wrong, so he asked, "Jack, what's wrong?"

"Ah......h

Zheng Zheng suddenly replied, then smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that something is not very right." Mr. Liu, don't you think it's a little strange along the way?"

"Strange?"

Hearing Zheng Zheng say this, Liu Yuanshu immediately frowned. His face was a little unpleasant, and he asked Zheng Zheng, "Jack...... What do you mean by anomaly?"

"No, no, no...... It's not a serious matter. Seeing that Liu Yuanshu's face was a little ugly, Zheng Zheng hurriedly explained, lest Liu Yuanshu make up something strange in his brain: "It's just a little thing that I think is a little abnormal, nothing serious." ”

Liu Yuanshu's face looked a little better, and said, "Jack, please speak directly...... What's wrong?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Tony and Vincent, who were on the side, also came over, and Tony asked, "Is there something wrong?" Jack, tell me about it. ”

"The road we came from before was very difficult, the road conditions were so bad. It's mountainous and it's normal for the roads to be in poor condition. ”

While walking, Zheng Zheng told the three of them about his troubles: "But the path we are taking now...... Although the overall appearance is not much different from the previous environment, have you noticed that the road conditions have improved?"

Seeing that the three of them still didn't understand a little, Zheng Zheng pointed to the ground under his feet and said, "I was on the way here just now, and I always felt very strange but I didn't know what was weird. Later, I realized that it was because the road I am walking on now is too smooth. Although there are no obvious traces of artificial repair on these grounds, this is a mountainous area and not a plain, and it is normal for this kind of gentle ground to occasionally appear one or two sections, but this road surface has been this kind of road all the way...... I'm afraid that's not right, right?"

Liu Yuanshu frowned and asked, "When did you find out?"

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, "It was only after we set off this morning that we found that this section of the road was very different from the road we had walked before...... Mr. Liu, I don't think that's a good sign. ”

Liu Yuanshu asked, "Why do you say that?"

Zheng Zheng said: "The road we walked before was detoured many times, and the location where we camped yesterday was only five kilometers away from the position shown by Sinan...... Is it possible to understand that this road is the only way to where we are going? I have a guess that when we return to the camp where we set up yesterday, it is possible to follow this road to find a way that connects to it, but we did not come ......

Hearing Zheng Zheng say this, Liu Yuanshu's faces sank together.

Zheng Zheng shook his head slightly, glanced ahead, and said, "If it was really a long time ago, someone built a road to where we are going now...... If that's the case, Mr. Liu, I'm afraid it's a bit hard to say whether the thing we're looking for is still there, right?"

As soon as Zheng Zheng's voice fell, Tony on the side immediately said: "Impossible, Sinan's positioning will never be wrong, since it is located there, then there must be something we are looking for......"

Tony spoke in a slightly higher tone, and as he spoke, he seemed to realize that he was not right to speak like this, so he stopped talking.

Hearing Tony say this, Zheng Zheng felt a sudden feeling in his heart for no reason, and felt that what he said was really interesting: Sinan's positioning will never be wrong...... Tsk, that's kind of interesting......

Zheng Zheng was still pondering this sentence, and Liu Yuanshu on the side laughed and said to Zheng Zheng: "Jack, you are too cautious and careful...... I am from Sinan, who trusts Ni, and since Sinan has indicated this location, there must be a reason to point to this location. As for the road that you said might exist, built by the predecessors......"

Liu Yuanshu paused and said, "This is actually nothing, right? Let's not say whether this is a coincidence or if there really is such a road, even if there is really such a road, it can be explained and understood." After all, the crystal skull is regarded as a treasure, and after the locals got this crystal skull, it is very likely that a place for worship was built for it deep in the mountains, and the road to the sacrificial place will be slightly repaired in order to facilitate access. ”

Liu Yuanshu's explanation was also reasonable, Zheng Zheng nodded, no matter what he was thinking about, he didn't say a word more.
