The clouds dispersed and the rain fell, Joanna was in Zhu Yu's arms, talking about her longing and family trivialities.

In her heart, Joanna is actually very grateful to Zhu Yu.

Because my father was planning to get involved in a new industry, and he couldn't borrow money, he was not in a good mood, and then he would bring it into the family.

Some time ago, the atmosphere at home was very bad. Joanna didn't know how to help her parents.

She didn't tell Zhu Yu, but she didn't expect that after Zhu Yu heard about it, she immediately contacted her father and promised not to treat herself badly because of this.

The two men who loved her the most cared so much about herself, and Joanna felt a deep sense of happiness.

The next day, Joanna reluctantly went to school, and Zhu Yu received a call from George.

Yesterday George left the Seven Axes Bar and received a thankful phone call from Heine in the evening.

Although Heine was still not sure if there was anything he needed in the pile of materials, George led the way this time to help him find the person he was looking for, and gratitude was necessary.

George is very happy to be able to take the line of Henie, and now the relationship with Zhu Yu has eased again, and his status in the circle of treasure hunters in New York has risen a little.

So George felt like he needed to do something.

For example, there is a treasure hunter's gathering right now, and he wants Zhu Yu to participate.

"Treasure hunt?" Zhu Yu was a little surprised, "There are still such activities in New York?" ”

"Yes." George explained with a smile, "It turns out that there are more such events in Europe. Because there are many castles there and have a long history, it is easy to find some lost treasures in the castles.

Later, a treasure hunter brought this activity here, and there were many treasure hunters here, and they thought it was quite good, so they kept it. ”

"What time? Where is it? Zhu Yu felt that it was not bad to feel it, so he asked.

"Tomorrow, on a manor on the outskirts of the city. There is some history there, it was a slave owner's estate before the Civil War, and it has changed hands several times, and it is said that treasures have been found inside. ”

"Okay." Zhu Yu became interested, "Then I want to participate." ”

George sent Zhu Yu the address, said the time, and then hung up the phone.

Zhu Yu's senses for George have changed a little, and this old man is not so annoying.

He drove up Ran Jie, and then went to buy a metal detector together.

This thing is the standard for ordinary treasure hunters, and Zhu Yu doesn't want to be a maverick. But with his own level, he will cover it up.

"Treasure hunting tomorrow?" Ran Jie asked curiously, "Will I go too?" ”

"Go, let's go."

"Then I'll buy one too."

Neither of them bought the expensive, regular model for about a thousand dollars.

Ran Jie was eager to try it when he took it, Zhu Yu asked him to try it out at the rented house, and he went back to the villa.

Then Cathy reported:

"Someone sent an invitation letter to Mr. Zhu, asking you to participate in the treasure hunt."

Zhu Yu was a little curious, his name actually entered the circle of treasure hunters, and it seemed that he was quite valued?

After taking the invitation letter, seeing that the wording on it was more polite, the time and place were right, Zhu Yu put it aside, planning to go over the next day.

The next day, I met with Ran Jie, and when I saw him fiddling with the metal detector with great interest, I asked:

"How's it going?"

"It's going to be a meeting, and yesterday I helped the owner find a knife that had been lost for many years in the rented yard."

Zhu Yu smiled, it's not bad, you will gain it if you use it.

The metal detector is a bit like a minesweeper, with a disc at the bottom, a long oblique handle on the top, and a display at the handle, which corresponds to different values when detecting.

This metal detector is more user-friendly, and the hand-held position is wrapped with a layer of artificial leather, which is more closely connected to the arm and is also convenient to hold in one hand.

The two of them drove to their destination and found that quite a few people had gathered here.

Most of them are like them, armed with metal detectors, just waiting to enter.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie also walked to the door with backpacks, left shovels and metal detectors in their right hands.

Zhu Yu showed the invitation letter, and the people guarding the door immediately let him go.

Most of the people gathered outside were amateur treasure hunters, but now it is clear that they will not be allowed in.

"Why are they allowed to enter, and we can't get in?" Someone complained loudly.

"Because they have an invitation!" The janitor explained, "They're official treasure hunters, recognized treasure hunters, and they're completely different from you rookies!" ”

"I don't believe they're better than us!" Someone said indignantly, "When I get inside, I'll see what they're capable of!" ”

Some chimed in, others watched. Many people come here to join in the fun, and some people are determined to become famous here, find treasures and make a name for themselves in the treasure hunting world.

George arrived ten minutes later, didn't see Zhu Yu, thought he hadn't arrived yet, so he called.

Zhu Yu answered the phone, and George said:

"Zhu, haven't you arrived yet? Contact me when you get there, I have an invitation to take you inside. ”

Zhu Yu didn't expect George to think like this, so he said:

"I got the invitation yesterday and I'm already inside the manor. Come in too, the professional treasure hunt is ready to begin. ”

George was very surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect the organizer to take the initiative to send an invitation to Zhu Yu!

But it's okay to think about it. After all, although Zhu Yu has been debuting for a short time, the few things he has done have a very great influence, and it is normal to attract the attention of treasure hunters.

He also walked in with the invitation.

There are already quite a few people inside the manor, and the ranks of treasure hunters in New York are getting bigger and bigger.

Treasure hunter and treasure hunter used to be very mysterious words, but in the past two years, thanks to the influence of short videos and the Internet, many treasure hunters have released videos, unveiling the veil of mystery in this line of work, and also making treasure hunting popular.

Many people see that it is quite simple, and it can be carried out by making a metal detector!

The barrier to entry is low!

Of course, most of those who got into this line were drowned. After all, there are few treasures, and if they are easy to find, where can they be left?

But the myth of getting rich overnight is spreading more and more, so there are still many people who want to enter this industry.

The manor house is a large geographical area, and the central building is an old three-storey building, according to the current organizers, which was built during the Civil War, and although it has been renovated, the main body has not changed much.

Zhu Yu didn't believe it very much, and he could see it at a glance that this building was no more than a hundred years old at most.

"As someone with an invitation, you have the special treatment of going on a treasure hunt half an hour early, and I hope you can get something out of it." The organizer was a tall white man, he said to Zhu Yu and the others.

At this moment George walked in, and the tall white man looked at him and sneered:

"Old George, you're too old to walk, and you're a few minutes late! I think you better retire and go home, staying in this line of work will make others misunderstand that our treasure hunters are all grandfathers! ”

George retorted:

"Damn Davy the Bear! Treasure hunters need smart minds, not just fat like you! The knowledge in my head is not comparable to you! ”

"Huh! What's the use of having more knowledge? You must still be empty-handed today! ”

"You talk nonsense! I will definitely take the treasure from this manor today! ”

……

The two of them quarreled for a while, and George was defeated and shutting his mouth.

Davy waved his hand like a big rooster:

"Alright, let's do it! In addition to the main building, other places can be searched. The person who harvests the most today will be awarded the honorary title of Treasure Hunter of Blackstone Manor!

If you don't want to be overtaken by the crowd out there, hurry up, a few lads in the back, don't wait for me to kick your ass! You're the new blood of New York's treasure hunters! George! You can't do it anymore, why don't you just stay here and mix up time! Hahahaha! ”

Behind them were the voices of David and George taunting each other, and Zhu Yu and Ran Jie quickly went to the empty front yard, away from this noisy space.

The people who came in first were very tacit, scattered, and had no intention of getting together.

This place must have been searched, but everyone knows in their hearts that I am afraid that no one will search every inch of land, so hunting for treasure here is a real "leak".

Zhu Yu only swept slightly, and then walked to the southeast of the small building.

There are some large trees around the farmland here, which are slightly more recognizable, and if there is a treasure, it is more likely to be hidden here.

Ran Jie was still more excited, holding the metal detector and shaking it left and right, saying as he used it:

"It feels like a mine detector."

"Have you used a mine detector?" Zhu Yu asked curiously.

"I haven't used it," Ran Jie said as he searched:

"I've only learned mine clearance, and I've only seen equipment for this kind of search, and I've never used it."

Then I heard the sound of a metal detector.

"There's something!" Ran Jie was overjoyed, and immediately determined the direction and depth, and after confirming it, he began to dig up.

Zhu Yu smiled, he had already swept over, and below this was half a silver coin, although it was broken, it was always a harvest.

However, at a depth of twenty or thirty centimeters, Ran Jie quickly dug things out.

Looking at the black whirring silver coin, Ran Jie pursed his lips, a little disgusted.

Zhu Yu smiled and took out a sealed bag from his backpack and handed it to him:

"Put it on, maybe you'll get it later."

Ran Jie thought about it, so he put away the half of the silver coin.

Further on, the two men dug up horseshoes, half-cut blades, belt buckles and other things one after another, and the most valuable was a short knife with a sheath.

Although the scabbard has rotted, the blade is still sharp and has not been rusted, which is worth collecting.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

The two men turned their heads to look and found a large group of people rushing in with metal detectors, and then quickly occupied the open space and probed.

After a while, there was a non-stop sound of "Didi".

In just three minutes, the entire manor was full of people, and on average, there was a person looking down in a few tens of squares.

Zhu Yu was speechless, such a treasure hunt competition is basically like fishing in a small pond, and there is no skill at all.

More people are making their way to the depths of the manor, hoping to get a head start and find the treasure first.

Ran Jie shook his head and said:

"If you go on like this, what kind of treasure are you looking for? There's no more open space, so why don't you come here for an outing? ”

Zhu Yu didn't agree, he continued to walk forward slowly, and said:

"How can it be that easy? Since the owner of the manor here was able to publish the site, it means that they had searched before and found nothing.

So even if everyone comes, at most it only increases the possibility, but it is more likely that if there is a treasure, the things in it are hidden very deeply, and ordinary metal detectors can't find it at all! ”

Ran Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is the truth!

Zhu Yu continued:

"I was looking for the treasure of a manor. At that time, there were also many people with metal detectors looking for them, but in fact, the place where the treasure was really buried cleverly avoided the target point that everyone is used to.

In the end, I found the treasure, which happens to be something that people tend to overlook. In addition, this metal detector also has defects, it is too deep to work, and the environment is complicated. So, let's not be discouraged. ”

At this time, a young man came over with a metal detector, walked around Zhu Yu and them, saw the contents of the sealed bag in Ran Jie's hand, sneered, and turned to leave.

After a while, the young man came over again, he had an extra brass ring in his hand, and he shook Zhu Yu and Ran Jie ostentatiously, and then left a sentence:

"Professional treasure hunters are no more than that," and turned to leave.

Looking at such a childish move, Zhu Yu was speechless.

While searching, Ran Jie suddenly asked:

"Boss, is there really a treasure in here?"

Zhu Yu said while looking around:

"There should be. Yesterday George Sr. told me about the manor when he participated in this treasure hunt. The estate has had several owners.

The first owner was a pirate-turned-slave owner who operated here before the American Civil War......"

"Is there pirate treasure here?" Ran Jie's thinking diverged and guessed.

"No," Zhu Yu shook his head, "that master died of illness not long after living in this manor." The second owner was an officer during the Civil War.

The officer, who had fought in the civil war and married the daughter of a slave owner, had a wealthy family, but was later destroyed by a group of enemies, but it is said that the thieves dressed as enemies did not steal much treasure in the end.

Therefore, some people suspect that there is still treasure buried in this manor. Several subsequent lords of the manor excavated, but in the end there was no result. ”

"So if there's a treasure, it's still there."

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the big tree not far away.

There were many small trees around the big tree, and it was in the middle of a farmland, forming a small forest.

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the small building, which was said to be an old antique building.

Zhu Yu suddenly said to Ran Jie:

"That little building really has some history, even if it wasn't before the American Civil War, it should have been rebuilt on the same site."

Ran Jie asked suspiciously:

"How do you know?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"You'll find out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the slick young man from before came over again with a metal detector, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the sealed bag he was carrying.

He looked at the harvest in Zhu Yu and Ran Jie's hands again, and smiled contemptuously again.

Ran Jie was furious!
