Chapter 1457 1457. Green Carving (15)

More than half a month ago, Tang Zhaoyang said that he would give him a gift, which was a map of an emerald vein.

Li Du was quite attentive at the time, but after the burrow incident occurred and the houses were sold consecutively, the map was delayed, so he forgot it.

The young man of Chinese descent left after sending him a gift box, and a treasure hunter came to greet him: "Boss Li, come and continue to tell the story of your ancestors taking risks and stealing treasures. Their experience is really amazing."

Of course it was miraculous, Li Du translated the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" he had read and told it as a story.

In fact, I don’t blame him for bragging. The ghost blowing the lamp started the story in the first person, and Li Du also told it in the same way. The treasure hunters took it seriously.

Dickens looked at the gift box in his hand and said, "Hey, what is this? What did he give you? Be careful, I heard that some gangsters send bombs to opponents in the box."

"Nonsense, how can there be such a thing?" Ollie retorted drinking beer, "Won't the world be messed up then?"

Li Du didn't know what was in the box. A box was only more than 20 centimeters in length, width and height, but weighed more than 10 kilograms. It stands to reason that it was just a map, even if it was made of cowhide, it shouldn't be so heavy.

He opened the box in bewilderment, and then everyone leaned over to have a look, Qiqi exclaimed: "Oh my God!" "My God, what is this?" "It's so beautiful, it's a work of art!"

Inside the box is a statue with a well-proportioned color and green body. The color is so bright, it looks like a young leaf after rain, so green that it can drip water.

Especially under the sunlight, the statue looks more crystal clear, as if there is a layer of oily luster flowing on the outside, the beauty is intoxicating.

Compared with the gorgeous material, the statue itself is more valuable. It is engraved with a topographic map, with mountains, water, roads, vegetation, and some small towns.

Undoubtedly, it adopts the method of micro-carving, but what is recorded on the small statue is quite a large piece of land. The trees on it are smaller than ants, and the town is only bigger than the belly of a thumb. Cars and horses are fully equipped!

The treasure hunters were rough people, but they had never seen such a statue before, and they were shocked all of a sudden.

Someone couldn't help but want to go up and touch it. Dickens patted it and said, "What if you break it? This thing is worth tens of millions at first glance. Can you afford it?"

Oli stretched out his hand and muttered: "I just want to make sure it's real or not. I feel like I'm dreaming. How can there be such a beautiful thing?"

"It's obviously real. The question is what is its material? I've never seen such a gemstone. It's so big. Is it some kind of jade?" Turis asked curiously.

Li Du smiled in disguise, and said, "It should be a kind of jade. It looks good. Someone gave it to Meow and them. They are really fanatical fans."

He's just talking nonsense, this thing is carved out of a whole piece of emerald!

Such a big jadeite, and it looks like a high-quality jadeite with a good water head, it may be a kind of glass, but it is very valuable in itself.

Dickens said it was worth tens of millions, but Li Du thought it might be worth more than tens of millions!

This emerald statue alone is valuable enough, but it is only a representative, the emerald vein hidden behind it is really valuable!

After hearing what he said, Ollie was the first to call out: "I'm not doing storage auctions anymore, I'm not going to bid for real estate anymore, I'm going back to raising pets, I'm going to open a zoo, Ma De, just receiving gifts is enough The money I earn can feed me for the rest of my life!"

"Then can you transfer the two houses in your hand to me?" Someone giggled.

Ollie raised his middle finger and said, "Dream, bastard, I'll just say that, I want to really open a zoo, and wait for the animals to be used as food."

Li Du handed the statue to Brother Lang and told him to put it away carefully.

He wanted to make a call to Tang Zhaoyang, but the other party's previous number was no longer used and was replaced with a tracking-proof mobile phone number, so he failed to make the call.

In this way, he can only give up.

Originally, he was not interested in the so-called emerald mines, but now he has enough mines. The value of opal mines and diamond mines is very high. Even if he is extravagant, he can basically live his whole life.

But now seeing this statue, he thought about it, this kind of jade statue is so beautiful!

He was going to plan a big wedding with Sophie, but he hadn't thought about the wedding gift yet. Seeing this emerald, he had a bold idea.

After entertaining the treasure hunters, at night, Li Du took the statue out again for research.

He avoided Sophie, he didn't want to take Sophie with him this time, he wanted to go by himself.

Under the light at night, the emerald statue becomes more crystal-clear and lovely. When the light shines on it, the statue emits a faint green fluorescent light. The wonderful color is really intoxicating.

Li Du stroked the statue. In summer, it was cool and moist. Obviously, it was carved from a piece of high-quality emerald.

Tang Zhaoyang said that this emerald vein is located in the northwest of the Hongshawadi country. Even if he didn't mention it, Li Du would have guessed that, because 90% of the high-quality emeralds in the world come from there.

He snapped his fingers, Brother Wolf rolled out a huge map of Hongshawadi, and Guan Lu turned on the computer and called up the Google 3D map, and then they began to compare and determine the location of the statue.

Hongshawadi is an ancient civilization with a long history. After forming a unified country in 1044, it experienced four feudal dynasties: Bagan, Bago, Toungoo and Gongbang.

From 1824 to 1885, the British launched three aggressive wars and occupied Hongshawadi, and then in 1886, the British designated it as a province of British India.

In 1948, Hongshawadi broke away from the Commonwealth and declared independence. On the map of the modern world, this country borders India and Bangladesh in the northwest, China in the northeast, and Thailand and Laos in the southeast.

The local law and order is not very good, and it is one of the regions in the world that is still shrouded in the cloud of war. In the past 20 to 30 years, Hongshawadi has been in power by a military government.

So far, there are still guerrillas supported by the opposition in the country, and government forces and guerrillas often exchange fire. Li Du reads the latest news about Hongshawadi, and there is an introduction to the war.

It is not easy to find this specific area from the topographic map, at least it is more difficult than the map. There are no landmarks on the statue. There are only five small cities with no names on them, so Li Du studied for a long time but failed to find out what city it is.

Brother Wolf is an expert at reading maps. After observing, he shook his head again and again: "There is no such distribution of cities, the location of the five cities is wrong, and the surrounding mountains and rivers can't be checked with the map."

Li Du became cruel, and said: "Facing the 3D map, look for it, look for it one by one!"
