Early the next morning after Executive Du left, Zhu Yu arranged for Ran Jie to guard them in the oil field, Qin Fei took a few security guards to follow the experts to calculate, and he followed Aliya to the ruins in the desert to play.

Although Zhu Yu is still a little worried about the safety of the oil field because of the words of Du executives, even if he worries at the moment, it will not help, and according to normal thinking, even if those guys with wolf ambitions covet the oil field, I am afraid they will salute first and then soldier.

After all, this is not Libya, and it is not Syria. Rather, it is one of the members of OPEC. In the same system, if these guys use force directly, then they really don't even want to have a face.

For the time being, those guys don't want to tear off the fig leaf so quickly, and there is also the war between Da Mao and Er Mao that involves the energy between them, so Zhu Yu is not in such a hurry at present.

Zhu Yu and the others left early, and when the off-road vehicle arrived at the ruins, the sun had just come out, and there was still some coolness in the air.

After getting out of the car, Alia pointed to the ruins not far away and said:

"It is said that these are the buildings left by the ancestors here more than 1,000 years ago.

The main reason for the ruins was that the water source that had formed the oasis was cut off, so the people here could not survive, so they eventually left the area, and the city became a ruined city. ”

When Alia spoke, there was pride and emotion.

As far as the eye can see, the site is not huge, almost the size of two football fields. The ruins of a temple in the center are the most complete, and the further you go to the edge, the more it collapses and destroys.

What made Zhu Yu a little puzzled and curious was that these buildings were obviously made of stone, but there were deserts nearby, and there were no places like Shishan Stone Mine at all.

Could it be that there used to be a stone mine, but later because no one was here, and because the desert area was relatively windy and sandy, the stone mine was finally covered by the desert and disappeared.

Of course, these are just speculations.

"Let's go inside." Alia tugged at Zhu Yu's arm, and then quickly let go.

Zhu Yu could see that the back of Aliya's ears was red.

What a shy girl.

Along the way, the road is mostly covered by sand, and there are occasionally some dead plants on it. Beneath some of the rocks, the lizard or snake was startled and scurried around, causing Aria to take a few steps back.

"I'm not afraid of these little things, but I didn't expect them ......to come out suddenly," Aria looked at Zhu Yu, who was taking a few steps to protect her in front of her, and explained in a low voice.

The bodyguards who came with Alia also rushed to the front and began to clear the road of possible dangers.

Zhu Yu and Alia walked side by side, looking left and right from time to time.

There are shops on the left and right, and houses in the back yard. Looking at the past, there are occasionally some metal products under the ruins, most of which are living utensils.

In this dry place, the metal living utensils are relatively well preserved, and there is basically no rust.

Occasionally, there are traces of excavations, but not many.

Looking at the past, there is indeed nothing worth digging here.

"Mr. Zhu, you used to be a treasure hunting expert, can you tell that there is treasure here?"

"I can't see it." Zhu Yu shook his head, "Actually, this site itself is already a treasure for historians. However, there may be more similar ruins in this desert, so it is not taken seriously.

As for the treasure in terms of money, it takes a good search to find it. ”

The two of them talked as they walked, stopping every now and then in front of a patterned uncollapsed wall, and that's when Arria's expertise came into play.

She would give Zhu Yu a detailed introduction to the meaning of these patterns, as well as guess what the original building of the wall did.

This made Zhu Yu a little surprised, but he didn't expect this shy and brave girl to have research in this area.

It seems that women in these countries with religious traditions should not be underestimated, and they will also study some knowledge of history, literature, architecture, etc., as their hobbies.

Alia saw the appreciation in Zhu Yu's eyes, her mood suddenly improved a lot, and she became a little bolder, and when she walked forward, she would take the initiative to say something about the ruins or the history of this country from time to time.

The ruins are not large, but in just ten minutes, a few people walked to the central temple.

The temple is a square building, and the original semi-dome on it has been crumbled, and only a few layers of masonry remain. Looking at the traces above, there were once birds nesting on it, leaving some nests, as well as the marks of bird droppings.

When Zhu Yu saw this, he remembered that he was naughty when he was a child, and ran to the wall of the once abandoned courtyard of the brigade horse, and lifted the bricks on the courtyard wall layer by layer, looking for the nest built by the birds.

It was just naughty at the time, but now it's cruel to think about it - the companions will tear out the nests they find and then take out the eggs or chicks inside to play with.

As for the future, it is certain that you will not be able to live.

And Zhu Yu still remembers very well that once when he went to climb the courtyard wall, he saw a child-tall golden eagle at the highest point, and then he was scared away.

At that time, there were already legends that this thing could take sheep or children and eat them.

Looking at the brick wall above, he remembered this childhood memory.

The gap in the brick wall can't be enough for birds to get into, right?

Zhu Yu sighed with emotion, and was just about to go over to see what remained in the temple, when he found something in the nearby building!

The temple is located in the center of the ruins, and this small city is a small city with four roads, east, west, north and south, all leading to the temple in the center of the ruins.

The location in the southeast corner is considered a prime location, and it used to be a two-story stone building. But now only half of the story remains.

There are also traces of excavations on the periphery, with some metal fragments falling near the digging pit.

The building used to be the house of a wealthy family or a very lively shop.

Because when you look at it from the eye of the sky, there are some copper and even silver pieces scattered everywhere underneath. Although some people have excavated some with metal detectors, there are still quite a few scattered ones.

Of course, the main reason why Zhu Yu noticed it was that there were a few dark compartments in the wall of this building that had not been completely broken.

Hidden in the compartment were gold and silver items, including coins, ornaments, ornaments, and some utensils.

Was this because they didn't have time to take it away in the first place, or did the group of people who left not know that there was a secret compartment in the wall, and that there was something in the secret compartment?

"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong?" Alia saw Zhu Yu stop, looked to the side, and asked suspiciously.

"There should be some treasure in there." Zhu Yu pointed there and said, "But if you want to find it, you may destroy the wall." ”

"Look for it, I haven't seen the real treasure digging site yet!" When Alia heard this, she immediately became excited, "I even had someone bring tools!" ”

She pointed behind her, and sure enough, a bodyguard walked briskly over with a bag of tools.

The bodyguard didn't speak, and showed the tools to Zhu Yu one by one.

"Can you dig now?" Zhu Yu asked Alia.

"Of course!" Aria dragged him inside, "As long as you don't destroy this temple." Everything else has been weathered for so long, and it can't be protected here, and the destruction is destroyed. ”

Since the owners are so atmospheric, Zhu Yu is naturally not polite, he chose a flat-headed shovel from the bag in the female bodyguard's hand, and walked towards the broken wall with it in his hand.

As soon as Zhu Yu came up, he didn't immediately rush towards the dark room, but knocked on the wall with a flat-headed shovel from the beginning.

With a little tapping of the flat-head shovel, the sound becomes different.

At first, Aria was a little confused, but soon she realized that the sound in one place was different from the other, and it seemed a little empty.

"Here it is." Zhu Yu used a flat-headed shovel to lightly tap in a dark compartment, "This should be empty, and it will probably hide things." ”

"How do you know?" Alia came over, took the flat-headed shovel in Zhu Yu's hand and knocked it there, and with the reverberation of her hand, she could feel that there was indeed a hole inside.

"The walls here are wider than elsewhere." Zhu Yu said, "Compared to other places, this wall is obviously a little inappropriately wide. It's too wide. ”

"Have you noticed all this detail?" Aria was amazed, and then went to compare it, and sure enough, she found that the wall was not an outer wall, but it was very thick, which was obviously not very reasonable.

Zhu Yu smiled reservedly in an amazed gaze, and then took the flat-headed shovel and began to break the wall.

"Look again, there should be more than one compartment in this wall." Zhu Yu said to the others while breaking the wall.

"I'm coming!" Alia immediately took a shovel and struck it as well.

Zhu Yu quickly broke open a layer of stone bricks, revealing a black mass inside.

With a flat-headed shovel, he pulled the mass out, landed on the sand, and the thing fell apart.

It turned out to be cloth. But the thick cloth had been in the wall for so long, it had weathered - apparently, the wall was not so closed.

The scattered Brie revealed gold coins, one or two hundred, at least.

The few people who did not participate in the knock on the wall immediately showed even more amazed expressions - there was really a treasure!

These people's gazes at Zhu Yu became eager. And Zhu Yu is even more mysterious in their eyes.

"I found it!" Aria suddenly exclaimed, "There's that too!" ”

When she exclaimed, she looked at Zhu Yu, and then saw the gold coins scattered on the ground.

"You've really found a treasure!" Alia threw away her shovel and walked over, crouched down and looked at it, and said:

"This is a gold coin from the time of the Roman Empire, it is not very rare, but in the eyes of some certain collectors, these are treasures, and there are so many!"

"You might have more valuable treasures there!" Zhu Yu smiled and said, "Take a look." ”

"Good!" Aria agreed, then said, "Let's pack up your stuff first." ”

"Leave it to them." Zhu Yu pointed at Amina and another bodyguard and said, "Go and see what you have there." ”

Alia smiled at Zhu Yu: "Okay! ”

With Zhu Yu's help, Alia broke through the layer of stone bricks, and then saw a larger space than the place where Zhu Yu had broken.

There are bowls, plates and other utensils made of gold and silver stacked on top of each other, not to mention dozens of pieces!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, congratulations!" Zhu Yu said with a smile, "These sets of gold and silver tableware are worth a lot of money - they all look brand new." ”

Aria was also very happy, and carefully took out two gold wine jugs and glasses inlaid with rubies, and held them in her hands to admire.

Just such a flask can be exchanged for at least 100,000 US dollars.

There's a lot of something like this here!

Then they opened a third compartment, which contained some women's gold ornaments, also inlaid with precious stones.

Zhu Yu made a rough estimate. All of these things add up, and they are worth two or three million dollars.

Probably still high!

I really didn't expect to find so many valuable things by looking for a random ruin in this desert!

Of course, thanks to the treasure hunters who came before, they are not in the habit of looking for treasures in the walls.

Asked the bodyguard to wrap up the things and carry them, and Aliya and Zhu Yu only entered the broken temple at this time to visit.

There are no statues of gods in the temple, but there are many frescoes on the surrounding walls.

These murals have been destroyed by the wind and sand, and only some lines remain.

These lines are still relatively bright, and Zhu Yu is a little curious, what pigment can be used to keep it for so long without losing its true color.

Alia said regretfully:

"These murals should be very precious works of art, but unfortunately they are no longer visible."

"The people who painted these things never imagined that one day, this place would be abandoned, the temple would be destroyed, and the wind and sand would blow in from the outside and destroy this place."

The layout of the temple was the largest place of worship, followed by a number of places to live, preach, and so on.

Aria was hooked on the treasure after finding the treasure earlier, knocking on the wall from time to time with a flat-headed shovel in her hand, hoping to find something.

It's a pity that after visiting the entire temple, nothing was found.

After visiting the temple, the treasure has been found, and it is not interesting to go any further. The sun has also risen, and the temperature in the ruins is gradually rising, so the two of them will discuss it and simply go back.

When I got to the car, I turned on the air conditioner, and a cool breeze dispersed the heat, and a few people settled down.

"It's all yours." Alia pointed to the things in the trunk and said to Zhu Yu.

"No, no, no." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "The gold coin is mine." The others are not mine. ”

"You're not right......" Aria blushed and tried to argue.

"When I go on treasure hunts, I'm usually with my friends. We've always been the one who finds it. Zhu Yu said seriously:

"Just like today, if it were me and my friends, it would be a matter of luck for the things in the dark to belong. Whoever finds out is whom. So that there will be no disputes. ”

Aria was a little confused, but eventually acquiesced to this explanation.

She actually knew that this should be regarded as a thank you gift from Zhu Yu to herself, but this thank you gift made people unable to say anything else.

The SUV was driving forward, and the two pickup trucks in front of the left came by, spotting them first, deviating from the original direction and outflanking the SUV.

Soon, the pickup truck forced the off-road vehicle to stop on the sandbag.

Five men with hooded heads and faces got out of the pickup truck, walked to the SUV, and the first one knocked on the window and motioned for the driver to lower the glass, and he had something to say.

"Princess, Mr. Zhu, don't be afraid. The car is bulletproof. Amina whispered.

The two bodyguards had already pulled out their guns, and Arena had pulled out a small pistol.

Alia leaned closer to Zhu Yu, but said:

"What do these people want to do? Is this an attempt to rob? ”

Zhu Yu was not worried at all, he guessed:

"I should have gone to the ruins to hunt for treasures. See we're coming in that direction, so ask. ”

The bodyguard turned his head to look at the instructions, and Zhu Yu said:

"Drop down and tell them we're tourists."

The bodyguard pulled the bolt to load the bullet, then lowered half of the glass, and said coldly to the people outside:

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, we saw that you came from that direction, and we wanted to ask if you entered a ruin."

"It's none of your business." The bodyguard was used to being stern, and he didn't intend to give anyone a favor, "Get out of the way, otherwise we're welcome!" ”

The man's face changed slightly, and then he saw the bodyguard's gun unleashed.

"We're tourists, and we're playing in the desert." Zhu Yu didn't want to make things stiff, he knew that these people must be carrying guns.

Although the car is bulletproof, but the car is full of women, and it's really hard to say how to fight - he has seen it with his heavenly eye, and there is an RPG in the opponent's car, and this thing needs to be used, even if it is a bulletproof car, it is not insured!

"I didn't find anything in it."

Hearing Zhu Yu say this, the expression in the man's eyes changed, he took two steps back, and said:

"Well, have fun!"

Then turn your head and signal for your people to get out of the way.

The female bodyguard raised the glass of the car and drove away with full horsepower.

"Boss, why don't you keep them?" In the pickup truck, someone asked.

"Don't make a fuss. This kind of car is not something that ordinary people can afford to drive. If you really want to mess with someone who shouldn't be messed with, I'm afraid we will be difficult to eat in this piece of rice in the future! ”

Soon, they came to the ruins and headed straight for the temple.

Although some people saw the traces left by Zhu Yu's demolition of the wall, in their opinion, it was nothing.

Their main search was for the things in the temple.

Soon, the men were digging up in the temple.

After a while, suddenly, screams and gunshots rang out in the temple.

From a distance, a large number of black crows poured out of the temple!

After Zhu Yu and the others got away from the pickup truck, they accelerated away from here, and it didn't take long for them to return to the oil field.

To Zhu Yu's surprise, when he came back, he found that there were already many people in the oil field.

Those people who started to gather yesterday have already arrived at the oil field today!

This effect, there is really no one!

Looking at these young people wearing camouflage uniforms and short hair, all of them full of vigor, Zhu Yu's confidence came up all of a sudden.

Lao Tzu has someone, who dares to come over to find fault?

I can't kill you!
