Chapter 1383 1383. The Experience of Negative Films (25)

The Kehaina tribe has had a chief burial system for generations, but in the era of the chief Alisena in the photo, the Indians were in a difficult situation, and the tribe was repeatedly invaded.

The incident happened a century and a half ago. At that time, the United States was still a barbaric land, and many white people rode on horses with guns to drive out the Indians to occupy other people's land.

In addition, Indians have survived on the North American continent for thousands of years, during which time they have collected a lot of wealth, which is even more coveted by white people.

Many violent whites gathered to form teams, armed with guns and weapons across the Indian territory, and plundered the wealth accumulated by others, the most popular of which were gold and silver.

There are gold mines in the Appalachian Mountains where the Kehaina tribe is located, but because the tribe hid deep in the mountains, they were not ransacked by white bandits in the early years.

However, the world is getting worse and worse, and the golden legend about the Kehaina tribe has finally come out. Many white bandits are moved and attack and plunder the Kehaina tribe.

Alisena, the tribal chief of that generation, took precautions. He hid all the gold, and then led the tribe to abandon the camp and go deeper into the forest.

Before they left, a photographer from the studio at the time happened to be there, and Chief Alissina learned that he had come with good intentions and instead of embarrassing him, he borrowed his hand to take some pictures.

These photos describe his people and the camp where they lived for generations. According to the old chief, he wanted to keep the photos as a souvenir.

After discovering the value of photography and photos, the old chief thought about it, then took him to the treasure place and asked him to take a few more group photos.

Of course, during the period, the photographer had been wearing a hood to not know the location and route of the treasure, and only after arriving at the treasure, he took off the hood for a short time to take a photo.

The photographer sent all the developed photos to the chief, but he brought back the negatives, and later developed some photos and provided them to the media. It was Li Du who saw these old dim photos.

These photos once triggered a local treasure hunting craze, and everyone wanted to find the gold treasure of the Kehaina tribe through the scenery described in the photos.

However, the scene of the photo is very limited, just some stones and a few trees. There are countless such scenes in the Appalachian Mountains. Finding treasures based on such scenes alone is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

In the end, nothing was found, and as the Kehaina tribe disappeared, the treasure became a local unsolved mystery.

These are not what Li Du saw in the newspapers, but he checked them online. The tribal gold treasures of Kehaina have been circulated in Cleveland and other places for a long time, and there are many introductions on the Internet.

At that time, the photographer was also fascinated by the gold, and the studio led a treasure hunting team. Unfortunately, the photographer was blinded at the time, and he didn't know the route from the camp to the treasure, and ended up with nothing.

Looking at the information, Li Du stroked his chin, and then used the ability to reverse time on the negatives in the box.

The photo comes from the negatives, and the negatives and the photographer went from the camp to the golden treasure. At that time, the photographer was covered with eyes, but there were no negatives!

As time was reversed, scenes appeared in front of Li Du. The first scene was the production of negatives...

After writing down the number of the warehouse, Li Du smiled at Lu Guan: "Our holiday is going to become more interesting, let's go back and prepare."

"What did you see in the warehouse?" Lu Guan asked curiously.

Li Du winked at him and said, "I saw your bonus."

Luguan was so happy from ear to ear.

In late July, the auction begins.

There are treasure hunters from Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the local treasure hunters from Cleveland are the main force, with a total of about 60 people.

Li Du has indeed become a celebrity in this industry now. When he brought the official to the warehouse, someone recognized him: "Wow, the treasure picker in Arizona?"

"It's him. How many Chinese descendants can we have in this industry? Judging by his temperament, he is definitely the Chinese Li."

"Why did he come to our Cleveland? I've never heard of those bumpkins from the Southwest coming to our territory."

"Shut up, Chinese Li is the most vengeful, don't provoke him, and if you provoke him, don't bring us bad luck!"

Li Du didn't have any acquaintances here, so he found a random place to stay when he arrived. Godzilla and Da'ao stood on both sides of him like guardians, which helped the treasure hunters better confirm his identity.

Not long after, a middle-aged white man wearing a sun hat came up to him and asked with a friendly hand, "Mr. Li from Arizona?"

Li Du smiled and shook hands with him: "Yes, hello."

The middle-aged white man pointed to himself and said, "I'm Hook Tatum. Nice to meet you in Cleveland, but I'm really curious, how did you come to our small place?"

Li Du said: "I'm here on vacation recently, so I came here to have a look."

Tatum pursed his lips and said, "Are you on vacation in Cleveland? Ah, none of us know about it. If you think it's necessary, as a local, I can introduce you to the local attractions."

Li Du nodded, and Tatum introduced enthusiastically.

After introducing it for a while, he withdrew the topic to this auction: "It's a pity that the eye studio is closed, otherwise you can ask them to take some photos as souvenirs. Their portrait photos are very good."

"This time, I don't know what they will leave behind. Mr. Li, do you have any news? Have you found anything?"

The opponent's ultimate goal is to get some useful information from Li Du to make money. Obviously, Tatum knows Li Du's feats in Arizona and California.

Li Du smiled and said, "I'm here today to join in the fun, because I'm bored on vacation, and when I heard there was an auction, I came to have a look."

Tatum didn't believe his words, neither did the other treasure hunters, neither did anyone who knew his identity.

Li Du's shots never fail, which is why he is called a legend in the storage auction industry. Otherwise, he has only entered this industry for three or four years, and it is impossible for him to attract the attention of treasure hunters all over the United States.

The auction started. As said, Li Du was not very enthusiastic.

The warehouses were auctioned one by one. Li Du quoted the price several times, but he didn't stick to it. If someone offered a higher price, he shook his head and withdrew from the auction.

A treasure picker suddenly murmured, "This guy doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary."

Another small warehouse was opened, and the auctioneer called out a starting price of 500 yuan. Li Du looked at the treasure picker who commented on him, and raised the price directly: "Two thousand yuan!"

The treasure picker thought that Li Du was coming for him, so he touched his nose and cautiously entered the depths of the crowd.

The other treasure hunters shook their heads one after another. The warehouse is almost full of films, and you can tell from the outer packaging of the boxes that they are all scrap films, not worth a thousand yuan.

The auctioneer pointed to Li Du: "Two thousand yuan—deal!"
