Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road

   Chapter 50

   The family of three is very excited. This is the treasure of their own family. Legally, it belongs to them completely. Although the three of them don't value money very much, the legitimate extra income is still great. Back then, it cost tens of millions of dollars to buy the ranch, and now the annual net income is millions of dollars, but the ranch was in the construction period before, and the income was not high More, so far has not earned half of the cost. For Sally and David to enjoy a comfortable retirement, they don't need too much money.

  The family decided to go to the mountains to pick up gold and copper ingots as soon as possible. There is no road at the foot of the lake and mountains, so it is better to transport by boat. The scale of transportation is determined by the amount of precious metals found. The treasure map only says that the last batch of gold bricks and copper ingots was the last batch of gold bricks and copper ingots. It is estimated that their output should not be too much.

   The three chatted for a while, and went back to the room to rest.

   Early Tuesday morning, Lu Fei went to the clinic to hand over his resignation. The handover was not much. The mayor kindly offered him a month's salary. After Lu Fei signed and confirmed the routine matters such as medical consumables, he was fine. The patients basically have nothing to follow up, and he will not pick up new patients. Unless old Bell asks him to operate.

  Thinking about going to do PMC, and maybe going to special training next week, Lu Fei felt that he had to make some preparations. His secrets could not be discovered, so he should keep a low profile and use more equipment and tools. Lu Fei went to Huaxia Supermarket to replenish some of the things he thought he needed, such as cooling oil, balsamic oil, chili powder and pepper powder. I went to the pharmacy to make up some medicines I felt I needed, and when I got home, I put 20,000 in cash by my side, and also put lime powder on it. Throwing these things into the space ring is too easy.

   Go home and discuss with Sally and David whether to go in the afternoon or tomorrow. Sally, being impatient, called Richard and asked him to arrange the yacht to go in the afternoon. After the family discussed it, they felt that Richard needed to be involved as well. After all, he was the manager of the ranch, and it was neither realistic nor friendly to hide it from him. At most, give him and the cowboys who help out a bonus.

   After dinner, the family went to the ranch, called Richard aside, and told Richard about the ins and outs of the matter. Richard was shocked. He had lived in the ranch for nearly 10 years and found no clues. Richard was an old western cowboy after all, so he immediately started making targeted preparations, such as preparing long ropes, pulleys, crowbars, and even a small amount of explosives.

   Around 1:00 pm, the yacht drove out of the pier and slowly drove to the entrance of the narrow waterway leading to Qinghu Mountain.

   "The yacht goes in, but it's hard to get back. We don't know if it will run aground in the waterway. We'd better go in with a lifeboat. The yacht originally brought two small lifeboats." Richard said.

   Everyone nodded in agreement, Richard drove the yacht to the entrance of the waterway, and anchored on the shore first. Under his command, he slowly put the two boats down. The two of them rowed into the waterway with a small lifeboat. There are high mountains and dense forests on both sides of the waterway, and some of the rivers are even completely blocked by the branches growing on both sides. Fortunately, everyone is prepared, bringing weapons and machetes, and continuing to move forward.

   advanced for about 500 meters and came to the end of the waterway, a water pool. The four of them leaned the boat to the left, tied it to the big tree by the pool, pulled each other, and climbed to the shore.

   This morning, Lu Fei took a photo of the treasure map, enlarged it and printed it out. At this time, take out the paper and check the position carefully.

   "There should be a trail here, and there should be an arrow when you walk about 50 meters. But after 150 years, the trail back then was hard to find." Lu Fei looked up at the forest road ahead.

"Actually, it's not difficult to find. The trails of the year must have been tamped or laid, otherwise so much precious metals would not be able to be transported in. Since it is a treated trail, there will definitely not be towering trees. There are many giant shirts here. We Advance from the grass or bushes that are close to the mountain, there are no big trees, and are faintly connected." Sally said in a professional tone.

The four of them walked a few steps around according to this principle, and found an area where the bushes and grasses were combined. Lu Fei and Richard opened the way ahead. After walking for less than 10 meters, Richard suddenly stopped and squatted down. gesture.

"No, there are bears infested here. I saw a big lump of bear dung. It was not completely dried. It should have been pulled a few days ago. There are also some traces of bears passing through the grass. Although we have weapons, there is no need to It is desperately trying to exit first." Richard said solemnly.

   "I came across a grizzly bear when I took Leverry up the mountain to hunt before. It's estimated to be two or three hundred pounds. It doesn't seem to be very big." Lu Fei said as he walked back.

   The four returned to the shore and discussed what to do. Things are quite tricky. If you really PK with the bear, it is not worth it if there is a loss. While you and I were discussing every word, the forest shook for a while, and the leaves clapped. Richard was startled, and greeted everyone to go back to the ship first.

   The four of them got on the boat in a hurry and rowed the boat to the middle of the water pool. A naive grizzly bear stuck its head out of the woods. Lu Fei took a closer look, and it was really the grizzly bear he had scared away. Seeing so many people, the grizzly bear seemed a little scared, but he wanted to come to the water again, which was a bit of a dilemma.

"I understand, this river leads to Lake Tahoe. There are salmon in the lake here. Grizzlies love salmon, and the environment here has caused many wild fruit trees, so there should be many hornets. This place is very suitable for grizzly bears to live. Maybe the mine owner opened the hole here for this reason." Richard suddenly realized.

   "Don't worry about this, the key is how to get rid of the bear or kill it, it's here, we won't be able to play." Sally said anxiously.

"I am a doctor. I have learned animal medical treatment before, and I have a little understanding of the habits of bears. This bear is not very old, it is estimated that he is only 3 years old, and he is not yet an adult. As long as you don't attack him, he will not attack you actively. , of course, on the premise that it thinks you don't rob it of its food, I'll bribe it to give it a try and see if it can make it more friendly to us."

   After Lu Fei finished speaking, he picked up the apple in the bag beside his feet, which Sally took to eat in the afternoon. Tossed one in front of the Grizzlies and made a gnawing motion at the same time. Grizzly looked at him vigilantly, smelled the apple again, carefully grabbed it, and took a bite, and he was finished after two bites. He raised his head and looked at Lu Fei again.

   Lu Fei was overjoyed, and threw several in a row until the apples were finished. Lu Fei jumped into the pool again, pulled the side of the boat, and stuck a few fishes that had swum by with a flying knife. No one was fishing here, so there was no vigilance. Then he threw a few of the dead fish to the shore for the bear to eat. The bear ate them one by one. After a while, he was full. He walked slowly into the depths of the woods, and looked back.

   means, Uncle will come later.

  Everyone didn't expect Lu Fei to have this hand, so he re-entered the woods with confidence, and moved forward along the established area, overcoming obstacles. Sally felt that it was time to get to the position and let everyone spread out to find clues. The entrance of the cave must be basically on the mountain.

   After a while, Lu Fei found a relatively smooth rock wall on the mountain and felt that there was a problem. There was a lot of moss growing on the rock wall. He picked up the machete and carefully cleaned the moss. At the waist of the person, a fist-sized arrow gradually appeared, pointing upwards. He hurriedly called everyone over to take a look. There seemed to be a small hole above the arrow. After removing the moss, a hole the size of a human finger was revealed. Lu Fei immediately understood what was going on. He took out the golden tube and inserted it gently. After inserting half of the golden tube, he felt the end. Lu Fei pressed **** the end of the golden tube, and the golden tube pushed in half a little, and issued a "click". "With a sound, there was no movement.

Richard was careful, and found something on the stone wall at the man's waist. He cleaned the moss to the left, and gradually saw a concave handle. The gap between the handle was full of dirt and grass. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. It's a handle. Richard scooped out the gap, put his hand in half, and pulled it out with force. Ka Ka Ka sounded, but Shimen didn't move.

After careful observation, Sally said to everyone: "This is a stone door, and the door lock is a golden tube, but the three sides of the door are blocked by the infiltration of sand and moss, and it cannot be opened. Everyone is responsible for cleaning the joints of the stone door. ."

   Everyone carefully observed the stone gate, and there is indeed a faint edge in the three directions of the upper, lower and left.

   After a few minutes, when the cleaning was almost done, Lu Fei volunteered and used all his strength to pull it out. Shimen made a "creaky" sound and was slowly pulled open. When Lu Fei opened the door two-thirds of the way, Sally motioned him to stop, and asked everyone to stand back 5 meters, wait 10 minutes before entering, and let the air convection to prevent possible poisonous gas inside.

   After a while, Sally acted like robbing a tomb, lit a candle, and slowly put it into the stone gate. After finding that the flames showed no signs of weakening or going out, she waved her hand to let everyone in.

  Lu Fei asked everyone to wait a moment, distributed medical gloves and masks, and then assured everyone to enter together.

  David and Richard flashed their flashlights inside, and the entrance was a larger hall. About 30 square meters, there are tables, chairs and benches. The tables, chairs and benches are actually made of copper, with a little green patina on it. There are four doors in the hall. The height of the hall is about 3 meters. The walls are stone walls, and there are a lot of artificial cutting marks on the stone walls.

The four doors in the    hall were all open, and Sally asked everyone to gather together, not to separate, and to enter each door together. The first door was full of rusted copper ingots; we didn't have time to count the second door, which was half copper ingots and half a pile of sacks; after entering the third door, I flashed a flashlight with a flashlight. A pile of gold bricks is placed in the middle! Everyone did not stop, and continued to go to the fourth door under the command of Sally. The door was a bedroom, about 20 square meters in size, with a stone bed and some copper stools and tables. Ten long boxes and some square boxes were stacked in the corner of the house. These boxes are all metal boxes made of copper.

  Sally made a gesture for everyone to come out first and exited the door. Please check if you feel any discomfort or have any allergies on your body. According to her, this is a lesson learned from going to the pyramids before. There are often some fungi or potential toxins in these places. When you find out, they have been infected on the body for a long time and entered the body.

  Lu Fei naturally checked everyone's body first, and shared his findings with everyone.

"There should be ventilation pipes in the room, not stuffy at all, and the air quality is the same as outside. Another point is that the humidity here is not high, which may be related to the alpine climate near Lake Tahoe. Obviously, before these precious metals were stacked, here It was a shelter, it was for people, and even in the gold room, I saw the stove, which was probably a kitchen."

  David and Seaver are relatively close, and they are familiar with copper and gold mines. Then he said: "I have roughly estimated the area and weight. I estimate that there should be about one ton of gold and about ten tons of copper. However, although the content of pure copper was relatively high at that time, the purity is still slightly lower than that of today. I don't know what's in the sack, another bedroom with a bed, and the box inside looks like a gun case." David calculated carefully.

   "Okay gentlemen, don't worry about it anymore, let's go get rich." Sally said happily, and took the lead in entering the cave again.

   This time everyone entered much faster. Everyone first go to the room where the gold is placed and see the situation of the gold. The gold here is very dazzling under the light of the flashlight, and it is not a big lump when you look closer. There are two types of gold bricks, which are neatly stacked. The volume of the entire gold pile is similar to the size of a bedside table.

  David is more experienced. He picked up gold bricks of different specifications and carefully observed it up, down, left and right with a magnifying glass and said:

"These gold bricks are available in two sizes, 5kg and 1kg. The words 1864 are engraved on the lower right corner of the gold bricks, and the purity is quite high, similar to today's 99.9 gold. The gold alone is calculated based on the market price, it will cost 3500 yuan. About 10,000 US dollars. However, these golds are of age and origin, can be auctioned, and the value is higher. Let's count the number of pieces and calculate the total weight."

   Everyone agreed and started a game of building blocks for children to count numbers. After a while, the specific number was obtained, 212 5kg gold bricks and 185 1kg gold bricks. The total weight is 1060+185=1245 kg. The family looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy, and these golden bricks had already made a fortune. Then, after sorting out the copper ingots, it was concluded that the weight was about 11 tons, and the long box was indeed a front-loaded flintlock gun. There are about 20 here, still wrapped in oil cloth, the gun body is slightly rusted, and it is estimated that it can still be fired. Those sacks were full of black powder, already wet and caked.

   "Mom, David, you two used to be elites in the workplace, especially David, who founded a company. How much do you value these precious metals and guns? Do you have any advice on how to deal with them? Lu Fei said.

“The gold is around $42 million in pure gold terms, and the copper ingots are worth around $1 million, for a total of $43 million. But it’s purely in terms of the value of the metal itself. If these metals are put up for auction, yes Valuable, after all, these gold bricks, including copper ingots, are engraved with the age, which has reference significance for the history at that time, in other words, it has research and collection value. The auction price is not easy to predict, but I think 80 million should be fine.

  The gun is hard to say, about 3,000 to 10,000 yuan per gun, depending on the collector's hobby, I don't know much about this market. Let's say it's a total of $100,000. But at this price, I will collect it and not sell it. "
