Chapter 137: Treasure hunt

Early the next morning, Mr. Lambert took a train straight to the location of the treasure and asked the owner of the land. Because that place is not far from London, at noon Mr. Lambert had gone home after inquiry.
Seeing Mr. Lambert come in with a weird expression, her mother Sally asked curiously, "What's wrong? Isn't it the royal or aristocratic territory that doesn't allow us to enter the treasure digging?"
"No, it's not." Mr. Lambert shook his head and took a sip of water from the cup on the table. "When I passed in the morning, I found that the place was a small farm with a dilapidated house inside. Around The person told me that this small farm has been hosted in an agricultural company for more than a decade. Its owner has not been to the farm several times during this time. "
"Isn't that better? Anyway, they are not professional farmers, so that they agree that we are not more likely to dig something on the farm." Ryan said happily after listening to his father's statement.
"Yeah, I was very happy to go to the town to check the owner of this land, and then found that this land belongs to a lady named Jane Sterling."
"Wait, this name is a bit familiar. Where have I heard it before? Do I know her?" Sally said suddenly.
Lambert nodded. "You must know that this lady went to college to London and then married here and married a dentist named Charlotte Granger."
Poof, Ryan spit out the water in his mouth: "Father, do you mean this treasure is hidden in the farm of my classmate Granger's mother?"
"If it's correct, that's it." Lambert continued: "I think you need to contact your classmates with your wizard. After all, the Granger dentist's family is out and we can't contact them. . "
"Okay." Ryan missed the era of the popularity of mobile phones.
That night, Ryan received a reply from Hermione, "Dear Ryan, we are now in Calais waiting for the boat to go home tomorrow morning. After receiving your letter, my parents were very excited and they agreed to go to the treasure hunt. Only The requirement is to hope to wait for them to come back together, because my parents are also interested in treasure hunting. "
It seems that the number of treasure hunters has increased, and now we can only hope that the final treasure will be enriched. Do n’t be sorry for everyone ’s enthusiasm.
On the third day, the morning after the Grangers returned, Lane and his family drove to the Grangers farm near Eastbourne.
Because East is located at the east end of South Downs, it is the sunniest place in the UK. So this town has become a popular tourist area. Along the way, many vehicles were seen traveling on the highway.
After arriving in Eastbourne, the car turned east and turned for another ten minutes. The scenery along the road slowly changed from hotels and residences to hedges and farms. Finally, they turned a gravel path to their destination.
Similar to Mr. Lambert's account, Lane saw a small farm at the end of the gravel road. The farm house is a stone cottage with a pointed roof, but the glass on the windows and the roof tiles are tattered. It seems that few people usually come here.
Surrounding the house was a circle of stone with a high chest, and a blue Volkswagen RV parked inside. It seems that Hermione's family farm has arrived.
Sure enough, after hearing the sound of the car, the Granger family of three turned out from behind the broken house. It seems that they should have a great time on this trip to France. Everyone is tanned into a healthy wheat color.
After a brief chat, mothers Sally and Mrs. Granger began to prepare a picnic in the yard, while the dads took their children to start treasure hunting.
According to Nick's description, they quickly found the big stone embedded in the abandoned wall at the edge of the ranch. According to Mr. Granger's description, this used to be a French noble manor, which was later sold to Hermione's mother's ancestor. This stone has not been moved since then.
Ryan only realized at this time that Hermione was a rich man, but think about it too. Dental at British universities is one of the most expensive tuition fees. A family of college students who can provide a dentist is unlikely to be in poor financial condition.
In Nick's letter, the boxes were buried in the secret room under the big stone of the car. And Nick said that the ghost also specifically emphasized that this big stone is part of a secret room, and the door to the secret room can be found by digging from the side.
The two fathers dug with a shovel for a while according to what Ryan said. Sure enough, when digging for about 30 cm, a few pieces of obviously cut stone appeared.
This discovery invigorated everyone, and even the two ladies came out of the yard and took out the shovel to help dig. After spending more than an hour, a stone arch with a length and width of two meters appeared. Also exposed were wooden door leaves and iron bolts installed on the arches.
There was a lock on the door bolt, but the wind and rain of two hundred years completely rusted the lock. Mr. Lambert smashed the lock with a shovel. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
Fortunately, the door hinge is copper without rust. Push the door open in a creak. Everyone found a pile of black weathered straws inside the door. After cleaning the straws, three wooden boxes with a length and width of nearly 1.5 meters and a length of two meters were exposed.
Using the wire ropes and pulleys on the car, everyone easily dragged the three boxes from the back room along the newly dug slope. The boxes were very strong and there was no expected cracking.
After a simple lunch, the two gentlemen took the crowbar to pry open the box to see what was in it. Ryan just confirmed that there was nothing dangerous in it, and stood looking aside with a smile. Hermione stood next to her and opened her eyes in excitement.
The first box contained a pile of very beautiful clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads, but unfortunately the color on the clothes became gray as it took too long.
The second box was filled with shock-absorbing items such as cotton batting, and the cotton batting was uncovered, with a small pile of gold and silver utensils underneath. After careful inspection, it was discovered that this is the cross, incense burner and candle holder used in some churches. Mr. Lambert picked up a twist and then said, "It seems to be just gold-plated, too light." Mr. Granger picked up another cross and nodded: "This cross is silver." In the end, they found that only the small pieces smaller than the size of the palm could be precious metals, while the others were mostly coated with gold and silver.
This said good treasure is a bit anticlimactic, everyone turned their attention to the last box. The difference between this box and the other two boxes is that it is painted with a layer of black paint, and some simple patterns are also carved.
After opening the last box, Hermione screamed after looking at it.
