Chapter 698: Race Against Time!
Zhu Yu straightened up and looked at Ran Jie, who was scattered in the old city with his teammates, and there was basically nothing in the place they dug.
At this time, Ran Jie ran over quickly again and said to Zhu Yu:
"Our people just said it again, and they followed those people and watched, and those people were already setting up camp.
It is said that after the camp is set up, it is planned to come to the old city today to take a look around, and tomorrow the official excavation will begin—and the TV station will carry the camera to follow. Because English is spoken, our left-behind staff can understand ......"
Ran Jie's meaning is obvious, I have to let Zhu Yu have an idea, and now I need to think about whether to withdraw immediately!
Zhu Yu remembered the situation when he was digging an arms warehouse on the edge of the town, and he immediately said:
"You don't have to run around, come with me!"
The others heard his voice and gathered around.
Zhu Yu took them to the big mound in the middle and said to them:
"Here, you look at it, I mean here, you dig down according to this position, the opening is bigger, the speed of digging is faster, every ten minutes to change people, and strive to dig out the results within an hour-
As far as I can deduce, this large mound should have been the location of the official office, and there should be good things......"
After saying that, he stepped back.
Ran Jie had never doubted Zhu Yu's ability to find the location of the treasure, so as soon as Zhu Yu retreated, he immediately began to form people.
Originally, there were less than ten people in total, except for Zhu Yu, he was divided into three groups, he and Qin Fei and Cao Dalong each took one group, and then began to dig.
It doesn't take long to dig down there is a frozen soil, which is not easy to dig. Fortunately, it is divided into three groups, plus Ran Jie, the strength of the three of them is far beyond ordinary people, and the other team members are not comparable to ordinary people.
So the speed of digging is fast.
Zhu Yu returned to the small mound. This place is about two hundred meters away from the big mound in the middle, and the people over there, except for Ran Jie, no one else can see what he is doing here.
He watched as the others didn't notice him, and bent down to press on the land!
One side of the frozen soil was directly collected into the space!
A big hole has appeared in the ground!
Zhu Yu jumped into the pit, propped his feet to both sides, stretched out his hand to retract it down, and a big pit appeared again!
And the third time, that cellar appeared in front of Zhu Yu!
This is actually a cellar-like space, but after a long time, the cellar collapsed, and the original owner didn't come back to take the things away, which made Zhu Yu cheaper.
There are three large and one small four jars - the big jar is one meter high, and the small jar is the size of a basketball.
The small jar contained eleven irregularly shaped gold cakes, about two or three kilograms each.
This was a huge amount of money both then and now.
Zhu Yu put the golden jar into the space first.
Of the three large jars remaining, two were filled with copper coins—full of copper coins, all of which had been cemented together. Zhu Yu didn't care whether these copper coins were rare or not, he would take them first.
There is also a jar containing a silver coin with relief, which can be seen to be of the Russian variety.
It seems that there should have been foreign trade at that time.
After Zhu Yu put away the four jars, Tianyan swept around and found that there should have been some things in this cellar, which seemed to be furs, papers, books, etc., but now they have all turned to ashes.
Ran Jie's shouts were heard in the distance, and Zhu Yu immediately put the frozen soil in the space back!
Half a minute later, Zhu Yu showed his head behind the mound and watched Ran Jie running over the walkie-talkie.
"Boss, those people have already started preparing for the assault boat!"
"Then speed up a little faster!" Zhu Yu shouted.
Ran Jie raised his hand, indicating that he knew.
Zhu Yu put the frozen soil back in its place, and then used the nearby sand to mess up the traces.
He now almost understood that the location of this small mound should be a small courtyard. The location is out of the ordinary, the place is small, not obtrusive, and it is a good place to hide things.
It should have been the place where some wealthy merchant or official hid gold at that time. It's just that something may have happened later, and the vault was not excavated.
After all, no matter which dynasty these things are placed in ancient times, they are a huge amount of money!
If the original owner had left normally, it would have been impossible not to take the money with him.
After tidying up the neighborhood again, it was basically restored to its original state, Zhu Yu walked around the neighborhood again, checked it again, and found nothing valuable, so he walked to Ran Jie's location.
There, at the location pointed by Zhu Yu, Ran Jie and the others had already dug a pit about one meter deep. Underneath is the permafrost, and the excavated soil is covered with ice stubble.
Zhu Yu didn't go over to help, but walked to the edge of the old city.
Over there, is the approximate location of the people Ran Jie said just now.
This island in the middle of the lake is about two or three kilometers from the shore, and if you come by assault boat, it will not take more than ten minutes.
However, it will definitely take a little time for the other party to prepare.
Zhu Yu hid his figure behind the mound of dirt and opened the Heavenly Eye to look there.
However, the distance is still too far away, and you can only see faint people in action, but you can't see who is doing it.
At this time, Zhu Yu felt that his heavenly eye should be upgraded again.
The position of the island in the middle of the lake is dozens of meters higher than the position on the lake, so he sees that the shore is condescending, and he is not too worried that the other party will find him.
Ran Jie's excavation was always going on, and Zhu Yu suddenly saw that an assault boat over there had begun to launch!
A few people dragged three assault boats to the shore, then pushed the assault boats into the water, and then began to move things to the assault boats!
Zhu Yu knew that in the next twenty minutes at most, those people would come here!
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a large number of dark clouds slowly drifted over, which should be about to change the sky.
Zhu Yu looked up at the sky, then at the city, and found that Ran Jie and the others were still digging quickly.
And Qin Fei looked at Zhu Yu with the walkie-talkie, and found that Zhu Yu had seen it, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side.
Zhu Yu nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't mean to stop, Ran Jie and the others were still digging quickly. However, a small group of people had already left the excavation site and ran to their makeshift camp.
Zhu Yu guessed that these people should have gone to pack up their tents and prepare for the assault boat.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Yu saw the three assault boats on the opposite side start to get on board, and then left the shore and drove towards this side.
Snowflakes began to drift scattered in the sky, and there were dripping rains - this was a rain and snow, Zhu Yu was a little surprised, in such weather, those people would come here to see the scene of the old city.
Is it a show, or is it dedication?
Zhu Yu estimated the time, and then immediately ran over to Ran Jie's location!
As soon as I arrived at the position, I heard Ran Jie say:
"Boss, dig out a box with a copper seal ...... inside"
"That's it! Fill the pit and withdraw! Zhu Yu took the box in Ran Jie's hand and said quickly.
As soon as they heard Zhu Yu say that this was the target, the others immediately became excited, and everyone was shoveling soil to fill the pit with a shovel.
It would have taken nearly an hour to dig up, but it took less than six minutes to fill it up!
In the old town, you can already hear the sound of the engines of the assault boats!
The heavy rain fell with ice particles, obscuring the view, and the ground became slippery, and some traces were washed away by the rain. Zhu Yu and the others quickly ran out of the old city and came to the camp below.
At this time, he could hear that the assault boat was already approaching the shore, and someone jumped out of the boat and walked towards the old city.
Zhu Yu and the others lay on their stomachs in the bushes, not daring to move.
Although there is a shelter here, if the other party goes up to the old castle and then looks closely, you can still find some traces.
Fortunately, the rain is very urgent now, and the line of sight is not smooth, so I don't think the other party will take a closer look.
Soon, Zhu Yu heard someone talking on the wall of the old city, and the other party really turned around in the old city!
He raised his head slightly, and through the bushes, he could see what the other party was filming with a camera.
Fortunately, now that it is snowing heavily, they can't shoot anything, and the rain and snow have also covered up all the traces left by Zhu Yu and them, and they have not been found.
The most difficult thing next is to leave - as long as you leave safely, the rest will be far away from the Tiangao Emperor.
The people above probably didn't think the weather was suitable to stay any longer, so they retreated to the old city, seemed to take some more pictures, and then went to the shore.
To Zhu Yu's surprise, the three assault boats did not leave, but found a place to set up camp on the shore!
Apparently, they were planning to stay for the night!
Do they think that after the rain and snow, they can continue to dig and explore?
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Let's go!" Zhu Yu said, "Taking advantage of the heavy rain now and the sight is not good, let's leave quietly, at least the sound of the engine will not attract their attention." You can't wait for the weather to clear – when it's loud, the other party will definitely be able to hear it! ”
"Good!"
Ran Jie was also the one who made a decision on the spot, at this time he immediately assigned manpower, moved materials, eliminated traces, and several people took advantage of the rain and snow to start inflating the assault boat, and then quietly entered the lake.
The engines of the two assault boats were not very loud, but if they were calm in time, they could still be heard far away.
But now in this weather, the sound is drowned out by the sound of rain before it can be heard far.
To be on the safe side, the assault boat left the island in the middle of the lake with its back to the other party's camp, and then drove towards the opposite shore at a slow speed.
The destination point on the other side of the river, although a bit far from the camp of their convoy, is at least relatively safe and does not need to worry about being discovered.
Just as the assault boat was about to reach the shore, the weather changed again, a strong wind blew, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun shone down - the rain stopped.
When the line of sight became clear, Zhu Yu and the others narrowly and dangerously pulled the assault boat into the woods on the shore.
"God really helped us!" Cao Dalong sat on the ground with his buttocks, "I was almost discovered!" ”
Zhu Yu held the wooden box that was about to rot in his hand, and said with a smile:
"No loss."
The copper seal in this wooden box was the official seal of the officials in this small city at that time, and I don't know why it was reduced here and not taken away.
However, this is one of the more important cultural relics.
Zhu Yu didn't open the wooden box, this kind of cultural relics needs real experts to study, and he asked himself if he was not qualified.
Donate it then, and you can make a contribution to history.
Several people rested, and then returned to the car camp with assault boats and supplies.
"This expedition was really hasty and boring." In the camp, Cao Dalong was a little depressed, "I don't know why these people came so quickly, is this a coincidence or ......"
It's not that Cao Dalong holds conspiracy theories, it's mainly a coincidence.
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Yu smiled, "Anyway, I feel that the most important thing is already in our hands." Let them dig it up. ”
"So what's next?" Ran Jie asked, "Shall we go back?" ”
"Let's go back." Zhu Yu felt that he had gained a lot, and then said:
"Every player who comes with you, a bonus of $10,000, you ......"
"We don't want it." Ran Jie immediately waved his hand, "Boss, let's treat it as a tour." ”
"Okay, then I'm not polite to you." Zhu Yu smiled, "Let's clean up and leave here before the other party notices." ”
"Okay." Several people went to take people to pack up their things and load the car.
Because it was still nearly a kilometer away from the other party's car camp, I didn't worry about being discovered by the other party, so after packing up my things, I started the car and left the lake.
Not long after the car drove out, it was getting dark.
The farther north the latitude, the shorter the days closer to winter become.
Zhu Yu sat in the car, closed his eyes, and his mind was on the harvest of this trip.
This trip was short, and the harvest was not much, but it was quite significant.
If the other party started digging before he arrived and dug up the copper seal, it would inevitably be made public.
It's almost impossible for this kind of thing to get the other party back.
So it's better to take it yourself.
As for the money in the cellar, let's find an opportunity to sell it in the future.
After obtaining Zhu Yu's consent, the convoy drove to a relatively flat roadside and stopped.
According to the information they received when they came, there were villages on both sides of the hundreds of kilometers of the road back, but there were no large towns.
Rather than go any further, it's better to camp here for the night.
According to Zhu Yu's thoughts, since he has already obtained the desired result, he can take his time on the return trip.
Several cars formed a circle, the tent was set up quickly, the fire was cooked quickly, the meat of the deer, after being roasted, sprinkled with seasoning, the taste was very tempting, and after a few people hurriedly finished eating, it was to rest.
However, the night sentinels got nervous.
The roar of the beast rang out near the makeshift camp.
The sentinels even saw a dark shadow scurrying from behind the trees, green eyes peeking in!
Commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the Battle of Changjin Lake...... Remembering those who died for our peace...... Salute......!
