Chapter 139 Treasure Hunting (Please Subscribe, Please Favorite, Please Recommend)

Early the next morning, Mr. Lambert took the train and went straight to the treasure location to ask the owner of the land.Because that place was not far from London, Mr. Lambert had finished his inquiry and went home at noon.

Seeing Mr. Lambert walk in with a strange expression on his face, mother Sally asked curiously: "What's the matter? Could it be that it is the territory of the royal family or nobles, and we are not allowed to dig treasure?"

"No, it's not." Mr. Lambert shook his head, then took a sip of water from the cup on the table and said, "When I passed by in the morning, I found that place was a small farm with a dilapidated private house inside. People told me that this small farm has been managed by an agricultural company for the past ten years. Its owner has not visited the farm a few times during this time.”

"Isn't that better? Anyway, they are not professional farmers, so the probability of getting them to agree to our digging in the farm is not higher." 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 belonged to a lady named Jane Sterling."

"Wait, this name is a bit familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere? Do I know her?" Sally said suddenly.

Lambert nodded, "You must know this lady. She went to university and went to London, where she married a dentist named Charlotte Granger."

Pfft, Ryan spat out the water in his mouth: "Father, you mean this treasure is hidden in my classmate Granger's mother's farm?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's it." Lambert continued: "I think you need to use your wizard's method to contact your classmates. After all, Dentist Granger's family is traveling, and we can't contact them .”

"Okay." Ryan missed the era when mobile phones were popular.

That night, Ryan received a reply from Hermione, "Dear Ryan, we are now waiting in Calais for the boat to go home tomorrow morning. After receiving your letter, my parents were very excited and they agreed with you to go treasure hunting. The only The request is to wait for them to go together when they come back, because my parents are also interested in treasure hunting."

It seems that the number of treasure hunters has increased again, and now I can only hope that the treasures will be richer in the end.Don't be sorry for everyone being so motivating.

On the third day, the morning of the second day after the Grangers returned, Ryan and his family drove to the Grangers' farm near Eastbourne.

Because Eastland is located at the eastern end of South Downs, it is the sunniest place in the whole of England.So the town has become a tourist hotspot.Along the way, I saw many vehicles shuttle back and forth on the road.

After arriving in Eastbourne, the car turned east and drove for another ten minutes.The scenery along the road gradually changed from hotels and residences to hedgerows and farms.Finally, they turned on a path paved with gravel and came to their destination.

Much like Mr. Lambert's account, Lane saw a small farm just off the gravel road.The farm house is a pointed stone bungalow, but the glass on the windows and the tiles on the roof are all tattered. It seems that few people usually come here.

A chest-high stone fence surrounds the house, and a blue Volkswagen SUV is parked inside.It seems that Hermione's family's farm has arrived.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound of a car, the Granger family of three turned out from the back of the dilapidated house.It looks like they should have had a great time on their trip to France, with everyone getting a healthy tan.

After exchanging pleasantries, mother Sally and Mrs. Granger began to prepare a picnic in the yard, while the fathers took their children to start treasure hunting.

According to Nick's description, they quickly found the large stones embedded in the abandoned walls at the edge of the pasture.According to Mr. Granger's description, it used to be a manor of a French nobleman, and it was later sold to Hermione's mother's ancestors. This stone has not been moved since then.

It was only at this time that Ryan realized that Hermione came from a rich family, but it was true after thinking about it.Dentistry at UK universities is one of the most expensive courses.In any case, it is impossible for a family of college students studying dentistry to have poor economic conditions.

According to Nick's letter, the boxes were buried in a secret room under the boulder of the car.Moreover, Nick said that the ghost also specifically emphasized that this big stone is part of a secret room, and the door of the secret room can be found by digging from the side.

According to Lane, the two fathers dug with a shovel for a while.Sure enough, when the excavation was about [-] centimeters down, several pieces of stone that had obviously been cut were exposed.

The discovery lifted everyone's spirits, and even the two ladies came out of the yard to help with the digging with their shovels.After spending more than an hour, a stone arch with a length and width of two meters was exposed.Then there are wooden door leaves and iron bolts installed on the arch.

There was a lock on the deadbolt, but 200 years of wind and rain had completely rusted the lock.Mr. Lambert knocked the lock off with one swing of the shovel.

Fortunately, the door hinges are made of copper without rust, and the door opened with a creaking sound.Everyone found a large pile of black weathered straw straws inside the door. After cleaning the straw 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 out of the secret room along the newly dug slope. The boxes were very strong and did not crack as expected.

After a simple lunch, the two gentlemen took the crowbar and prepared to pry open the box to see what was inside.Ryan, on the other hand, had just confirmed through Taoism that there was nothing dangerous inside, so he stood aside and watched with a smile.Hermione stood beside her with her eyes wide open in excitement.

The first box contained a bunch of beautifully embroidered clothes embroidered with gold and silver thread. Unfortunately, due to too long time, the color of the clothes became gray.

The second box was filled with shock-absorbing items such as cotton batting, and when the cotton batting was uncovered, there was a small pile of gold and silver utensils underneath.On closer examination it was discovered that these were crosses, censers and candlesticks used in some churches.Mr. Lambert picked up one and shook it, then said: "It seems to be only gold-plated, too light." Mr. Granger picked up another cross and nodded: "This cross is really silver." In the end, they found that only small items smaller than the size of a palm could be made of precious metals, while the others were at most plated with gold and silver.

The promised 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 carved.

After opening the last box, Hermione looked at it and let out a shriek.
