Chapter 2: Man dies for wealth, birds die for food, it is normal
Do not mention how carefree and at ease it is
However, I did not notice the expressions of a few individuals who immediately succeeded in their scheming.
Moreover, with a face full of flattery: "Let's do something! We can do something; the big landlord in town has guns. I saw them when I worked there as a servant..."
made a significant contribution to the local GDP
Xian Na could not tolerate the tourists' ulterior motives in asking for her phone number, while Yi Haizhou did not have anyone he needed to contact at all
Let us just hide here and live our lives.
During World War II, the Japanese extensively plundered various Southeast Asian countries, acquiring countless gold and jewels, all of which were transported back to Japan along this route
In just this month, our village has lost four treasure-hunting guides
Yi Haizhou listened with a lazy smile still on his face, not pausing even for a moment with the spoon in his hand while eating
Including other villages, there are about twenty to thirty people, and they have not returned with the treasure-seeking tourists and treasure hunters!
He told himself that it was merely to take a moment to remember the scenery here before leaving
However, recent news has taken a turn, as treasure hunters have begun to frequently go missing
However, if one were to mess with the other party in such a ridiculous manner before leaving, it would indeed be quite amusing
Yi Haizhou frowned, just as he raised his hand to strike, a lit cigarette was shoved between his fingers
For the usually taciturn Yi Haizhou, this group of individuals was also accustomed to it, speaking in a mysterious manner: "Another treasure hunter has gone missing https://m.hetushucom.com!"
Every day, people come from various places and neighboring countries to inquire about someone
At this moment, he really wanted to ask these few guys, have you not considered that Xiana is also missing
The former commander of the front-line cotton northern battlefield does not regard such trivial matters with any importance; he has set fire to villages numerous times for the sake of Kiyoshi Seki.
Yi Haizhou could only turn his head and gaze blankly at the boundless beauty of the sea and sky.
This is his area of expertise; he even casually asked the shopkeeper for paper and a pen to draw a detailed floor plan, ensuring to clarify the placement of furniture, as well as the orientation of doors, windows, and walls
He and Xian Na do not even have a mobile phone; on one hand, it is due to poverty, and on the other hand, it is because it is unnecessary
Only those who are devoid of emotions can remain unscathed
One can tell from his gestures that he is an amateur
It is a pity that Yi Haizhou has already been hurt by the rainforest to the point of no return, showing no interest whatsoever
Yi Haizhou showed no reaction, keeping his head down and chewing slowly, eating with great concentration
He tried to remain indifferent and said nothing, serving a plate of the cheapest seafood fried rice
This is the biggest topic near the coastal town located close to the equator in Southeast Asia
Yes, treasure hunting
Yihai Zhou is too lazy to inquire about where Xinna has gone.
If one were to stay here indefinitely, one would certainly not starve. Fruits and vegetables grow on the trees by the roadside, and one can easily fill their stomach with crabs, shrimp, fish, and shellfish from the sea. Additionally, setting up a stall at the night market would provide extra money for drinks.
As a tour guide, whether sailing or driving, one can easily earn some money from tourists and live quite comfortably
Robbing the rich to help the poor has always been a great joy in the world
He still refrained from asking about Xinna, only instructing the young man who had been a servant in the other party's household for two to three years to clearly describe the entire geographical layout.
Until dinner was consumed to seventy percent full, the brilliant evening glow over the sea, resembling a frenzied dance of golden serpents, was devoured by the dusk
The requirements are not high; a few hundred to a thousand pieces would suffice
The town has a total population of only about one to two thousand people, divided into five or six villages
After all, even if a few artifacts are found in the sunken ship, one can instantly transform from a poor peasant to a wealthy farmer, living a leisurely and comfortable life in this remote place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away
Dozens of kilometers west of the town lies the famous second largest rainforest in the world, which is naturally a hunting paradise
Yihai Zhou slapped them a few times before these guys finally quieted down a bit
Looking at these easy-going and funny fellows, Yi Haizhou had to stifle his laughter, gritting his teeth in indifference: "What’s going on? Why change so early? Are you preparing for a daylight robbery? Where’s the vehicle? Are we walking over twenty kilometers to the town?"
While speaking, he also spread his arms wide and gestured, saying: "So long!"
A remote and obscure area with almost no governmental constraints, where even high-end hotels are absent, is densely populated with islands.
Yi Haizhou is bound to achieve little and cause more trouble by setting out with these few individuals.
People here generally do not have the habit of saving money; they believe in enjoying today without concern for tomorrow
Not professional at all
From ancient times to the present, this has been a necessary stopover point on the Maritime Silk Road, which is why there are countless legends of pirate treasures and shipwreck treasures
Yi Haizhou almost squeezed out a phrase of disinterest from the corner of his mouth, but he was finally drawn in by that term: "the landlord's family?"
At this moment, Yi Haizhou still wanted to take a photo with his mobile phone as a keepsake
As soon as I got in the car, a few guys started sniffing around: "Ah Hai! Are you repairing cars or boats? Why is there such a strange smell of oil?"
The main issue is that there is no money in the pocket
Since the death of his most important comrade right before his eyes, Yi Haizhou has not allowed himself to have any emotional attachments.
However, this fellow showed no reaction and steadily wiped the last delicious grain of rice from the plate into his mouth, ensuring that it would all be converted into energy stored in his body
Wiping his mouth, he stood up, preparing to leave, casting a cold glance at these bastards he had known and played with for two or three months, even feeling a bit envious of their carefree and untroubled joy.
Someone is touching randomly: "Hey, do you have a bottle of wine in your pocket? Let me have a drink, why am I suddenly feeling a bit nervous!"
Skilled as if rehearsed many times
However, if one intends to travel extensively, there must be some travel expenses involved
In such a small fishing village, there are many people without mobile phones
Many locals are also deeply immersed in this field and have achieved success
It was evident from his actions that these men immediately grabbed his hand with smiles on their faces, saying: "Let’s go treasure hunting too! Let’s get a few more guns!"
For him, who has endured such a long time on the battlefield, the food before him is the most precious. It is essential to ensure that his energy levels are sufficient in order to preserve his life at any moment
Thus, several neighboring countries have many treasure hunters and antiquities dealers who make a living from this, and there are even those who initially came just for tourism, at most hoping to obtain a diving instructor certificate, but are misled into embarking on the grand venture of treasure hunting.
Yi Haizhou, who is not particularly fond of meticulous planning and strategizing, is essentially quite similar to a reckless child, as in the past years, his partners who provided advice and made decisive decisions have borne all the burdens for him
He opened someone else's mobile map again, found the familiar satellite website, entered the permanently paid VIP account, and skillfully and accurately located the landlord's courtyard. By cross-referencing the layout, he confirmed that everything this guy said was true.
He has never believed in such treasures, just like the jade from Mianbei; those are merely playthings for the powerful. Having witnessed grand occasions, he has long understood that ordinary people should focus on those they love, rather than on distant aspirations.
Five fishermen gasped in astonishment while stealing glances at Yi Haizhou
Several faces quickly gathered close: "It's that classmate Xian Na's home. Let's go get some. Even if we don't treasure hunt, we can still sell it for money!"
This area, known as a diving paradise, boasts over 40 sunken Japanese warships and cargo vessels, attracting a large number of tourists and treasure hunters who come in hopes of striking it rich
Every year, it can receive tens of thousands of tourists due to the two main themes of diving and treasure hunting
However, it is clearly described that the numerous shotguns hanging on the wall are part of the collection of this old gentleman who enjoys hunting
Go to the landlord's house to get a few guns to cover the travel expenses, isn't it just a matter of reaching out and grabbing them
Yi Haizhou has become accustomed to dining here, especially during the past few days since Xiana's disappearance. He remains as languid as ever, as he can spend his days idly here with just a few dozen yuan for three meals and tea.
A man must always maintain some dignity, right
The several men just now casually approached from various directions to chat, while subtly paying attention to the order of their arrival
The wildflowers in the glass jar on the railing are blooming foolishly
The five individuals were quite excited and agitated, having already donned various black outfits to disguise themselves as ninjas. Some even tied a black belt around their foreheads and covered their faces with black cloth, fearing that others might not realize they were about to commit a theft
However, he does not concern himself with this matter
Without much thought, Yi Haizhou accepted half-heartedly while holding a cigarette
I heard yesterday that the people who were acquiring cultural relics have all disappeared
I do not wish to converse with those individuals who have not been tempered by the trials of the world
These fellows are in a frenzy again, going to look for a car
