Chapter 67
"Jon, have you heard? Yesterday the silver coins were really dug up in the yard of the Rouse family! I saw it with my own eyes! At the head of the village of Hoxen, a middle-aged man gossiped to the villagers he met.
The villager named Jon replied disapprovingly, "Pim, you left early, if you stay a little longer, you will be able to see the gold coins!" ”
"What?! And gold coins? Pym couldn't help but exclaim.
Jon nodded and replied, "Of course, and it's said to be a Roman gold coin!" ”
"Oh my God! Then Laus will be rich now! Pym said with a look of envy.
"Of course, who let this treasure be hidden in his yard, but it is said that it has been forcibly taken away by the National Museum, and if it can be sold to those antique dealers, it is estimated that it can be sold even more!" Jon sighed.
"That's true, but even if he earns a little less, it's enough for him to spend a lifetime!"
"Of course, and it's not done yet, who knows if there are any more valuable treasures down there? The treasure hunter said that the treasure in our Hokson Village is no less than the treasure of the temple in India! ”
"That's called Padwanaba Swami Temple Treasure! But then again, that Master Monet is really powerful, and he has never been to our Hawkson Village, so he can calculate that we have a treasure here! ”
"Of course, otherwise how can you be called a treasure hunter!"
"Eh, then you say, since he knows that there is a treasure in our Hoxerson Village, why didn't he come and dig it himself?" Pym asked curiously.
Jon guessed, "I guess it's because he knows he can't take it!" ”
"Can't take it? What does that mean? Pym asked, puzzled.
Jon explained: "You think, Master Monet should only know a general range, otherwise it would not be rumored that there is a treasure in our Hoxson Village, but directly name and say that there is a treasure in Law's house, so even if he comes, he will have to dig all over the village to test, so do you think we can watch him dig everywhere?" And even if he, a foreigner, dug up the treasure in the yard of Law, could he watch him take it? ”
"Well, that's right, if he encounters an unreasonable person like Norris, maybe his life will be gone!" Pym nodded in agreement.
"That's it, so people don't come at all, and now it's so good to directly increase your reputation! And I've heard that people aren't short of money, so naturally they won't take this risk! ”
"Makes sense! By the way, I heard that he seems to be us British, but he lives in the United States, right? ”
"That's right, it's a Londoner, who went to the United States on the Titanic last year, and then almost died in a shipwreck, so I guess he didn't dare to take a ship anymore, so he had to stay in the United States!"
"Also, if I encounter such a big thing, I won't dare to take a boat again in the future!"
Just as the two were chatting, another villager, Peter, came over and said excitedly: "I heard that the Rouse family dug up a large gold nugget of several hundred catties, go and take a look!" ”
Although at this time, the name of Monet, the "treasure hunter", has resounded throughout the village of Hokson and even Suffolk County, but Monet himself did not know, until a few days later, he learned from the reporter who came to interview that he had "predicted" a treasure, which made him very speechless, because the "treasure of Hokson" was originally what he wanted to keep for himself to excavate, but just as Jon guessed, he never thought about how to solve the problem of hiding people's eyes, and even imitated the tomb robbers to plant sorghum fields and build fishbone temples. Who knew that before he could think about it, the treasure had already been dug up, and it was based on his own "prediction", and he didn't know who was making a name for himself, could it be the "Professor Moriarty" again?
Just when Monet was thinking nonsense, the beautiful reporter opposite asked in an affectionate and whispered with a smile: "Mr. Monet, may I ask why you didn't write a book in advance this time like the last time you predicted the treasure of the Padwanaba Swami Temple in India?" ”
In line with the mentality of being at peace when it comes, Monet simply recognized it, so he said nonsense: "Because this time I only know that the treasure is within the Hoxerson Village in Suffolkshire, England, but I don't know the specific location, so I am embarrassed to say, I just briefly mentioned it to a friend, but I didn't expect him to pass it on!" ”
"Mr. Monet, your requirements for yourself are too high, in fact, it is already very remarkable to be able to predict that it is within the confines of a village!" The beautiful reporter praised, and then asked, "By the way, have you predicted the treasures of other places?" ”
Just as Monet pondered how to answer, the beautiful reporter thought she was smart and "blamed herself": "I'm sorry, this question must involve your privacy." ”
Monet pondered for a moment, thinking that even if he didn't say it anyway, the guy who made trouble for himself might have to put himself on the shelf, so it was better for me to say it first, so he took the initiative, so he replied: "Actually, there is another place that should also have some treasure, but just like the Hoxerson Village this time, I only know a range, but I don't know the specific location!" ”
"Oh? Can you tell us? The beautiful reporter asked.
Monet nodded and replied, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have said it." In fact, this place is quite famous, that is, the entrance to hell in Ireland - Dan Mo Cave! ”
The beautiful reporter did have a little insight, and after thinking for a while, she reacted: "You are talking about the Dan Mo Cave in Ireland where there was a pirate massacre?" The treasure hidden in there is a pirate treasure? ”
"It's not good to say, it may be a pirate treasure or a treasure that the pirates tortured the villagers, in short, there must be, but I don't know which cave it is, I don't know if you've been there, it's an extremely huge natural cave, there are hundreds of small holes connected, and the treasure is in one of the small holes, as for which one I don't know! If any explorer has the interest and perseverance, they can check it out! Monet explained.
"When you say that, even I want to go on an adventure!" The beautiful reporter echoed with a smile.
But Monet reminded with a serious face: "I suggest that you better not go, because it is very dangerous there, like your body, the cold wind inside alone can blow you sick, let alone anything else!" ”
