Chapter 96: Pirate Treasure Chest?

Zhu Yu didn't know that he avoided selling the extra gold out of caution, and he was looking at his collections in the yard of a middle-aged white man with a beard.

Looking at these things, Zhu Yu frowned a little deeply.

More than [-]% of the things here are playground toys.

And it's an old-fashioned playground toy from the 70s and [-]s.

For example, the four old-fashioned bumper cars are all made of aluminum and have no rust at all.

But these things are not needed in any playground now.

The merry-go-round is also old-fashioned, and it is too rusty to turn.

The bearded middle-aged man pointed to the wooden horse and said:

"Guaranteed to work! As long as the bearing is replaced and cleaned again, it will definitely be the same as the new one!"

Zhu Yu stared at the half-meter-deep weeds around the wooden horse shelf, thinking that you don't take care of it yourself, throwing it here is like garbage, let me take care of it?

Zhu Yu shook his head, expressing that he was not interested in this Trojan horse.

Seeing that Zhu Yu was going to leave without buying anything, the bearded white man became a little anxious, and he said hastily:
"Come on, there is another treasure in my treasure room, I think you will be interested!"

Zhu Yu looked at this bearded man named Burchi who was talking mysteriously, and felt a little unreliable.

"Don't worry, it's definitely a treasure!" Seeing that Zhu Yu didn't want to go, Buqi felt a little anxious, and said, patting his chest, "It's said to be a treasure left by pirates in the eighteenth century! It's no use either..."

Zhu Yu finally went.

The so-called treasure room is actually a sundry warehouse.

Burch turned on the light, and Zhu Yu was disappointed when he saw what was inside.

There are some dismantled metal amusement ride parts in the warehouse, and in the innermost part, there is an iron box with a square meter.

Burch came to him, moved the sundries away, pointed to the iron box and said:

"This is it. I bought it from an old man whose ancestors were pirates. But this box is very strange, and it can't be opened at all-though there is a key."

Zhu Yu saw that the box was surrounded by locks, the kind of hanging iron locks.

A large key was tied to the front iron lock with a leather cord.

"I tried many times, but I couldn't open the box. Later, I wanted to cut the lock, but in the end I couldn't."

Burch patted the box and said:
"This is something left by pirates, and there may be treasures left by pirates inside!"

Zhu Yu looked at the big hole in the box that went through the front and back, and said with a sneer:
"Such a thing can hide treasure inside? If there is really something hidden, wouldn't you have opened it long ago?"

Burch smiled dryly, but said nothing.

This Huaxia kid is not easy to cheat!
Zhu Yu opened his eyes, and he had already seen that the box was empty.

As for the fact that Burch couldn't open the lock, of course it was because this clumsy-looking iron box actually had another mechanism!
"This iron box looks good, let's make a price!"

Burch originally thought that Zhu Yu had given up, but he didn't expect him to want to buy it, so he immediately said:
"A thousand dollars! This is an antique!"

Zhu Yu shook his head:

"An empty box, with a hole in it, a thousand dollars? Do you think my money is easy to make? I think you must have made an offer to more than one person. It is impossible for someone else to give you a thousand dollars." ?”

Burch was told what was on his mind, his face turned red, and he said:
"Then... nine hundred dollars, no less!"

Zhu Yu shook his head.

"$850, no less! I won't sell it any less!"

Zhu Yu shook his head again.

"Eight hundred dollars! Eight hundred dollars!" Burch said almost gnashing his teeth, "No matter how little it is, I really won't sell it!"

Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Well. I'll give you a thousand dollars..."

"Really?" Burch's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

"But those four old-fashioned bumper cars outside, plus this box, it's a total of one thousand dollars!"

Burch thought about it and agreed.

Those four old-fashioned bumper cars have never been wanted, and now they can be sold for two hundred dollars, which is fine.

Burchi pushed the cart and helped Zhu Yu load the box and four bumper cars onto the pickup truck. Zhu Yu paid the money, waved goodbye and left.

"Introduce a few more friends when you have time!" Burch shouted loudly while counting the banknotes, "I will bring in good things later!"

Zhu Yu stretched out his hand out of the car window and waved it, but didn't reply.

The car drove to an empty place, Zhu Yu pulled over and stopped, got out of the car, went to the back compartment, and carefully observed the pirate treasure chest.

Of course there is nothing in the treasure chest, or in other words, this is actually a large old-fashioned safe.

There was indeed nothing in the cupboard.

Burch couldn't open the cabinet because the door wasn't on the side.

Those locks on the side are decorative and deceptive.

Zhu Yu Tianyan could see the mechanical structure inside. He groped slowly on the lid of the box, and then found a small gap.

I used the knife I carried with me to gently pry along the gap, and forcefully pried open an iron plate.

Under the iron plate is a keyhole!
It just corresponds to that huge key!
Zhu Yu untied the leather rope, took off the key, inserted it into the lock, tried it left and right, then turned it to the right, and heard a creaking sound, the mechanical structure inside had changed, and the lock was opened!
Lifting the lid of the box, Zhu Yu was not disappointed when he saw that it was empty.

His eyes fell on the inside of the lid.A piece of old paper was pasted on the inside, half of which was torn off, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Zhu Yu carefully peeled off the remaining half of the paper.The traces of the iron plate under the paper are slightly different.

Look carefully, there is a very small gap here.

Zhu Yu took out the knife again, and gently pried it along the gap.

After fiddling for a long time, finally pried it open a little bit, and Zhu Yu broke the iron piece with his hands.

There is a sandwich inside, and Zhu Yu slowly picks up a thin oiled paper bag with a knife.

Open the oiled paper package, inside is a folded piece of parchment.

Zhu Yu carefully opened the parchment, and saw lines, dots, irregular small pieces, and a round sun drawn on it.

map!

Are the lines coastlines?
Is the point an island?
Does the sun show the way?

So the gold coin pattern in the middle of the map, does it mean that there are treasures there?

Zhu Yu's heart beat faster!
It's a bit magical!

These days, how could one get a pirate's treasure map?
seriously?
After calming down, Zhu Yu put the original map into an oiled paper bag and put it in his pocket, then closed the iron cabinet, took off the key, and drove to Smith's second-hand store.

Smith should be interested in this stuff, right?

 Today's four changes, strive for recommendations next week, everyone is so supportive!
