Chapter 833 Harvesting German Treasures
The small town of Reutte is located at the foot of the Alps, with mountains in the distance, cabins nearby, green grass and flowers all over the ground, and a few cows grazing on the hillside, which is an idyllic scene.
Laura got out of the car and took a breath of fresh air, "Well, it's really beautiful here."
"Now is the most beautiful time in the Alps." Jiang Hao said.
Bringing equipment, everyone carried a big bag and started to enter the mountain, making them look like backpackers hiking. The scenery is beautiful, but after two hours, everyone was exhausted and out of breath, especially Bryce. , He is a typical technical nerd program dog, physical strength is not his forte, and now his tired legs are shaking.
"It will take about two hours." Jiang Hao said.
"My mother, treasure hunting is so tiring." Bryce cried.
Laura looked at this guy and said, "That's called being tired. This is just the simplest way to walk. Do you know what dangers we have experienced in our previous expeditions? It's nothing to walk a little while we were close to death."
Bryce grinned and said, "Boss, I'm in charge of technical support, I'm not good at physical work."
"As a member of the treasure-hunting team, you must be able to know everything. You can't lack technology and physical fitness. If you don't have it, you'll have to participate in battles in the future. Bryce, if you want to become a core member of the treasure-hunting team, you must Get a certain amount of training."
"God, I'm opting out," Bryce yelled.
"You know our secret, there is only one end for quitting." Huo Li next to him said viciously.
Bryce naturally knew that Horry was joking with him, but Bryce also knew that Laura was not joking with him, and he was afraid that his tragic fate was about to begin.
The two of them rested while bickering, which was also regarded as entertainment between classes.
After bickering, he continued on the road. After another two hours, he finally came to the mountain. Jiang Hao took out his GPS tracker to measure his position, and said, "This is roughly here. Let's camp here, and then look for the whereabouts of the mine. The original map is very Not accurate, the area we may want to search is about 3 square kilometers."
The original map is too old, and the latitude and longitude are not very accurate. Now we can only calculate the approximate range.
There used to be a tin mine here. The Germans opened the mine here, using captives. They withdrew in 1945, and the mine disappeared. No one knows why.
A few small tents were set up on the hillside, and it was already evening. Everyone was cooking dinner and drinking hot coffee. Laura asked, "Jon, what if we can't find the entrance to the cave?"
Jiang Haodao: "The most important thing in treasure hunting is to prepare sufficient materials, but the most important thing is luck. Without luck, everything is useless. Even if the treasure is sitting under our buttocks, we may not find it in our lifetime."
"So I decided to spend only 2 days looking for mines in each place. If I can't find the mine, I will change the place immediately. If I find the mine, I only have 2 days of exploration time. If there is no result, I will leave immediately."
Laura nodded, approving Jiang Hao's plan.
In fact, this treasure hunting can only be regarded as a practice work. Even if you find it, it is just some property. There is really no need to waste too much time on it. Some real great explorers disdain to find any treasure. Find the unknown secrets of this world.
the next day,
The four of them searched for a long time in the mountains. Fortunately, they found the mine. There were obvious signs of collapse on a mountain wall. The stones and vegetation here were different from those in other places, and everyone was still far away. Some traces of human life were found, as well as sleepers used in mines.
"It's completely buried, what now?" Laura asked.
It is impossible for them to find someone to come here to dig directly, because these mountains and forests are all private. Besides, if they invest a lot of money to dig the mountains, there is a good chance that there will be nothing in them after digging.
"Look for any gaps, and let Bryce's little robot go in to investigate." Jiang Hao said.
Everyone separated and searched for possible cracks and collapses around this area. Finally, somewhere, they found a huge crack, which was about 20 centimeters wide, and the bottom was extremely deep.
Bryce's little robot is finally useful.
Laura and Horry watched Bryce operate the robot down, while Jiang Hao went a little farther away, activated the animal communication ability, and attracted a weasel. After taming it, Jiang Hao released the weasel in the crack next to it. went in.
In fact, robots are not as useful as animals at all, but no one has Jiang Hao's ability to control animals and detect information in their minds.
Half an hour later, a small head emerged from the grass and jumped to Jiang Hao's side. Jiang Hao touched the weasel's head with his hand to check the memory information inside.
After a short time, Jiang Hao has already determined that there is no treasure in this cave at all, it is just an abandoned mine, Jiang Hao guessed that the Germans used prisoners of war to mine, and they were about to lose the war, so they took the prisoners of war away. It directly blew up here.
After another hour, Bryce also finished the investigation with the small robot, and concluded that there was no treasure inside, which disappointed everyone.
Jiang Hao smiled and said: "This is very normal. Some people may spend several years or ten years in order to find a treasure. This is nothing at all. It is the most normal result. Okay, let's prepare Let’s go down the mountain, go back to the hotel today and have a good night’s rest, and leave for Oberstdorf tomorrow.”
In the days that followed, the four of them explored all the way. Some spent two days at all and gave up without finding the entrance of the cave. The right time, place and people and luck come.
The car drives into the small town of Arrach, which is close to the Austrian border and next to the Alps, where you can hike and climb mountains. Every year, tourists come here to relax and feel the nature.
Where there is tourism, there are hotels. The four stayed in a hotel with a classical wooden style, and the owner was very enthusiastic.
"Are you here for a tour?" the boss asked, offering beer.
"Yes, hiking." Jiang Hao said.
"Then you must feel it well. You can stay for a few more days to fully relax your body and mind." The boss stroked his beard and said.
"Boss, what history do you have here?" Jiang Hao asked seemingly casually.
"History, the town has been built here for more than 200 years, and there is a church on the side of the mountain, which is almost a hundred years old. You can go and see it. As for the others, oh, there is a legend that we have here. A salt mining pit of the Nazis was later buried, and it is said that there are rumors that there are hidden treasures of the Nazis.” The boss talked about these legends like gossip.
Jiang Hao and Laura looked at each other.
It is said that there is nothing wrong with it, and rumors indicate that something may have happened.
Many famous monuments in the world were found because of a rumor.
"The legend of the treasure sounds interesting. Does the boss know where it is?" Jiang Hao asked with interest.
The boss smiled, "I only know that it's in the mountains. No one knows which mountain it is. Also, it's useless even if you know. The mountains here are all private, and they won't allow you to dig."
Everyone rested for a day,
When they got up the next day, everyone drove out and came to the foot of the mountain. Jiang Hao took out a map, GPS and compass to look at the direction, pointed to a few mountains in the distance and said: "In that direction, there is no road now, we can only walk past."
Everyone got out of the car with big bags and small bags again, and walked to the mountain on foot. After walking for half a day, they finally came to a valley. There were few human footprints here, and there was no domestic garbage, which meant that very few people came here.
After putting down the packages, everyone took a rest, added dry food and water, and began to explore. Two hours later, Laura in the distance shouted: "Jon, I found a cave here."
Jiang Hao, Huo Li, and Bryce hurried over, and everyone found that there was indeed a cave behind the dense vegetation. The cave was about three meters high, and there were traces of artificial excavation around it. It was probably a mine entrance.
Jiang Hao took out his flashlight and took a picture inside, and found that it was quite deep. He thought to himself, could it be an ordinary mine pit? Piles of rocks blocked the way.
"There's no way," Laura said.
Jiang Hao walked over, looked around, and found that these rocks had collapsed from the hole, which gave him a judgment in his heart, "It should have been blown down."
"There is a gap on the top, see if you can go through it." Laura pointed to the top and said.
Just as Laura was about to go up, Jiang Hao stopped him, "These rocks are very loose, let me do it, you wait here, I will climb in and see if there is a way."
"Then be careful yourself."
There is a gap above the collapsed cave that can only accommodate one person. I don’t know if it can be passed in. Jiang Hao crawled into it. The stone was so painful that he walked slowly in. Just about ten meters after climbing in, Jiang Hao found The front was getting narrower and narrower, and he couldn't get through at all.
Jiang Hao was about to retreat, when suddenly he wondered if he could use the space to open a path.
Swipe!
The few stones blocking the front disappeared, and Jiang Hao climbed another half meter forward.
Continue to absorb and continue to climb. After a while, Jiang Hao's space was filled with a lot of gravel. Jiang Hao looked ahead, not knowing how far away, he had to leave some space for himself. If the space was completely filled, he would still It would be embarrassing if it didn't pass.
Waving his hand and putting it behind him, behind Jiang Hao there were a few more stones that he had just collected into the space. In this way, Jiang Hao became an ore porter. The places are frayed and finally see the light of day.
Crash!
A collapsed hole appeared in front of him, and some gravel fell down. Jiang Hao quickly turned on the flashlight to take a photo, and found that there was a dark cave in front of him. Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and the road was finally opened.
Climbing down the pile of rubble, Jiang Hao immediately released the stones in the space, took out a larger spotlight from the space, turned it on, and the cave was full of light, Jiang Hao continued to explore.
The pothole is very long, and there are many forks in it. Jiang Hao was going to explore the main road first. After searching in the pothole for about an hour, Jiang Hao suddenly saw a skeleton lying on the ground.
At this time, Jiang Hao saw the first unusual scene in the pothole. He walked over, looked at it, and found that there was a steel helmet next to the skeleton, and a corroded and disfigured rifle beside it.
"German helmets and rifles." Jiang Hao muttered.
Jiang Hao continued to walk forward, and he found more and more stones, and found 12 ones back and forth. With a big iron lock.
Jiang Hao was slightly excited, did he really find the German army's hidden treasure?
The iron lock is big and strong, but it is not enough to look at Jiang Hao, a veteran lockpicker. He took out the lockpicking tool in the space, three times, five divisions,
Not open!
Damn, it's rusted inside.
It's hard for us,
Jiang Hao had an extra hacksaw in his hand, and suddenly there was a creaking sound in the hole. After a few minutes, there was a crisp cracking sound, and finally the big iron lock was opened.
Pulling open the big iron door forcefully, Jiang Hao saw what was going on inside, a row of black iron ingots that caught his eye, Jiang Hao was taken aback for a moment, the promised treasure, could it be these iron ingots, he went to touch it Those iron ingots were found to be quite different from ordinary iron ingots. Jiang Hao guessed that these iron ingots were not ordinary iron ingots.
But even if it is not an ordinary iron ingot, it is still an iron ingot. Finding a pile of iron ingots is useful.
Talk about a hidden treasure.
Jiang Hao turned inside, and when he reached the innermost point, he suddenly saw several large wooden boxes hidden behind the pile of iron ingots.
Jiang Hao's heart moved, could there be something good.
Walking over quickly, he patted the wooden boxes that were still strong. Jiang Hao took out a crowbar from the space, inserted it into a wooden board, and pried it up forcefully.
Kaka,
The wooden strips of the box were pried open, and Jiang Hao opened the lid of the box in two or three strokes. There was a thick layer of cover under the cover first. Jiang Hao opened the cover first, and immediately saw rows of trees erected. wooden frame.
This is not an ordinary wooden frame, but a picture frame.
Jiang Hao used to be an oil painter, and he was very familiar with these painters, and he could tell at a glance.
A thought arose in Jiang Hao's mind. This cliff is part of the German army's treasure, but it is not known whether it belongs to a general or the German army.
Jiang Hao looked around again, and the few lonely wooden boxes next to him. He was more willing to believe that these boxes belonged to a certain general's private collection.
Counting carefully, there are a total of 20 paintings in this box. Jiang Hao took out one, put the picture frame on the box, and looked at it with a flashlight. This is a portrait of a naked woman. Is it a figure? I can only say so so.
As for painting skills, Jiang Hao doesn't comment. After all, everyone has different styles and expresses different meanings. Some people's paintings are bullshit, but they are praised by others. His shitty paintings are worth money.
Looking at the name below, Jean-Léon Jerome, Jiang Hao knows this name, a French painter, a representative of the academic school of painting, with solid painting skills, rigorous painting style, delicate brushwork and rich colors.
However, Jiang Hao felt that saying this seemed too general, and it was not easy to understand. Jiang Hao estimated that the painting in his hand could sell for about 600,000 pounds.
Wouldn't that be much clearer?
Therefore, art is also valuable, and the price also divides art into many levels. Artists pretend to be aggressive, mostly to make their works more valuable, nothing more.
Especially for some modern so-called painters, there is really no limit to hype.
Pooh!
It's useless to say more, Jiang Hao put all the oil paintings in this box close to the space, as for the other paintings, he won't look at them now, and he will study them carefully when he goes back.
Opening another box, Jiang Hao found that this box also contained oil paintings, and the third box was still oil paintings. This guy seems to be an oil painting lover, so the last box might not be a collection of oil paintings.
When the fourth box was opened, Jiang Hao found that it was not an oil painting this time, and there were several canvas bags inside. Jiang Hao wanted to take it out, but found that it was very heavy, and each one should weigh about 200 catties.
With this size and weight, Jiang Hao suddenly had a guess in his heart, took out a dagger and cut a hole in the canvas bag, and a piece of gold suddenly flashed, it was gold.
take away,
take away,
Taking away.
In the end, Jiang Hao found a wooden box, which was about the size of a shoebox but only ten centimeters thick. Jiang Hao turned the box over and opened the lid with the opening facing the outside to prevent poisonous needles, venom, poisonous smoke from being sprayed out.
Apparently Jiang Hao had read too many novels, and nothing came out. Jiang Hao took the box and looked at it, and found that there was a piece of yellowed paper inside. Jiang Hao took out the paper and found that it was a simple map. In the corner of the map, there is a sentence written.
"The land where the prophet fell, Syria -- Marilla."
Jiang Hao was a little confused.
Put it away first.
All the boxes were opened, and all the treasures inside were searched by Jiang Hao. The gold this time was nothing but the oil paintings. There were 66 oil paintings in total. He didn’t look at them carefully just now. There are treasures inside, and there is absolutely no problem selling tens of millions of pounds.
Well, it looks like that's it here.
Jiang Hao was about to retreat. He came in for more than three hours. I guess Laura and the others must have been waiting too. Jiang Hao climbed to the cave, halfway through, but the front was blocked. It was the stones he collected and threw there. Inside, Jiang Hao repeated his old trick, took the stone away again, and then put his backhand behind him, quickly blocking the cave.
In this way, Jiang Hao returned to the entrance by digging a cave, but when he walked out of the cave and came outside, he suddenly saw a scene that surprised him. There were about a dozen people, Laura, Horry, and Bryce. Surrounded by the three of them, Jiang Hao clearly saw that there were two German policemen in police uniforms among them.
"There's another one here." Someone shouted after seeing Jiang Hao.
"Sir, please come here," the policeman looked at Jiang Hao and shouted at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao walked over to the crowd, took a glance, and exchanged glances with Laura. Jiang Hao knew it was not appropriate to ask, so he turned to the police, "Mr. Police, what's the matter?"
"Are you treasure hunters?" asked the policeman.
At this time, a middle-aged man with stubble said: "Don't quibble, I know you must be, I have seen the equipment you brought, it must not be ordinary hiking tourists."
Jiang Hao shrugged and smiled, "We are treasure hunting enthusiasts, just like hiking, but I have already reported to the Bavarian government when I come here to hunt for treasure."
When the policeman heard this, his expression eased a lot, but the middle-aged man was still a little angry, and said to Jiang Hao and the others: "You report to the state government, but have you told me that these mountains are all My private property, if you want to dig treasures on my site, that is absolutely not allowed."
Jiang Hao blinked and shrugged, "Okay, since that's the case, let's leave now."
Find the hidden treasure, the treasure hunting activity here has been completed, no one knows that Jiang Hao has obtained the greatest benefit, and it doesn't matter if he is driven away.
"Since the owner doesn't allow it, you can leave." The policeman said.
Jiang Hao and Laura took their luggage down the mountain and returned to the car. Horry drove, Bryce sat in the co-pilot, and Jiang Hao and Laura sat side by side in the back. Laura said annoyedly: "In the peaceful Local treasure hunting is really troublesome, and nothing can be done at all."
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "Don't be angry, in fact, I have already entered the cave and got some things."
There was a trace of surprise on Laura's face, "Did you really find out, what is it?"
"Go back to the hotel and show it to you."
