Chapter 722: Pirate treasure

Several dogs seemed to be playing rogue, just wouldn't come down, shrinking on top and turning a deaf ear.

Ye Yaodong was almost too angry to laugh. "I must have raised a few rascals, right? Get down quickly!"

"See the hot water being boiled over there? If you stay inside again, in a while, someone will come to catch, twist the dog head off, put it in the pot and scald it to remove the hair."

"Woo woo... woof woof..."

Two came down, but there were still a few who weren't afraid of boiling water.

Those leaders also looked quite funny. Chen Juzhang smiled: "Forget it, let them stay, anyway, not leaving immediately."

Someone on the side also followed and echoed, "Quite like police dogs, the police dogs in the army before were also very fond of staying in the side-car, didn't like to come out, and would urge people to drive quickly."

"These are local dogs in the countryside, can't get on the stage, how can they compare with police dogs?" The village head smiled.

"Don't underestimate the local dogs in the countryside, these local dogs are very smart, training is also a good dog." Chen Juzhang disagreed.

Ye Yaodong felt the same way; he had underestimated the local dogs. So what if they were local dogs? Still, police dogs would definitely be smarter. If only he could catch one to breed.

Chen Shuji smiled and echoed, "What kind of person, raise what kind of dog, Adong is smart, the dogs raised are also smart."

"Makes sense..."

"Go, go, let's go to his house to sit for a while, his house is close, don't need to walk far, wait until eating, then come over."

"Go go go..."

Everyone chatted and laughed as they headed toward Ye Yaodong's house again. The two dogs, which had jumped down earlier under duress, saw them leaving and climbed back into the sidecar of the motorcycle, just nesting there quietly, watching the people coming and going, feeling quite majestic themselves.

A wild dog saw it and wanted to get close, but was scared away by their collective barking!

Some children saw that even dogs could stay inside, and boldly gathered around, but the dogs barked collectively and didn't let anyone get close!

This was an unexpected joy, adding a few more helpers to watch the car.

Lin Xiuqing was free, helping the old lady cut her hair in the courtyard.

The old lady got up early and kept looking in the mirror, running in to look every once in a while, which made her a bit puzzled.

Asked, and the old lady said embarrassedly that she felt her hair was a bit long, and it wouldn't look good to go to the banquet at noon...

This was the scene Ye Yaodong saw upon his return.

"Cutting hair? It's almost time to eat, still cutting hair?"

"Eh, guests are here? Almost done, already washed, wait for the wind to blow for a while, it will be dry."

"Good, why cut hair?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't help but smile, "The old lady kept looking in the mirror since she got up early, asked her and she said she felt her hair was too long, and it wouldn't look good to go to the banquet at noon, so I cut one for her temporarily."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Ye Yaodong's mouth couldn't help but twitch. At his age, he still wanted to look good?

"You take the guests into the room to sit first, is there hot water in the pot to make tea? I'll be done soon, just trim it flat."

"Can."

Lin Xiuqing cut a neat short hair for the old lady. Old people don't need fancy hair, silver-white hair looks clean when cut short.

After cutting, she took the towel draped over the old lady's shoulder, took another one to wipe her hair, and then took it into the room and threw it into the basin, planning to wash it when she was free later. Now there were guests at home.

Just when she just entered the room, she heard them chatting there, talking about pirate treasure!

Pirate treasure???

Lin Xiuqing widened her eyes, her ears pricked up high!

Where did the pirate treasure come from?

Ye Yaodong also pricked up his two ears!

When he just entered the room to make tea for these leaders, he heard them chatting. Didn't expect one of them to be the deputy director of the Border Defense Station. They chatted about recent events as soon as they sat down.

Just happened to have big gossip, and it was very exciting and inspiring, so they took it out to talk. Anyway, it had been found, so saying it didn't matter.

"At that time, those people refused to say anything, mouths were tight, but our interrogation still had some level. Plus the next day, we caught thirty or forty strong men from their village involved in smuggling, saying they would all be sentenced."

"Now it's heavy punishment for small crimes, smuggling is a big crime, heavy can be death penalty, we casually provoked a bit, and someone thought about making contributions to reduce the sentence. Yesterday morning, we pried it out of someone's mouth, saying there was pirate treasure on the island."

"Haha, really didn't expect that there was a pirate treasure hidden on that desert island. Although the quantity is not much, just a small cave, a small treasure point, it is enough to make people surprised and unexpected..."

"You guys can be considered to have gained it without effort? How did you think of going to that island to catch people?" Others asked.

"This matter is interesting. It was an anonymous letter we received five days ago, saying that the island was a den for smugglers. Now isn't it strictly cracking down on smuggling crimes?"

"We thought that there is no wind without waves, so sent two people to secretly take a look, anyway, it didn't delay anything."

"Who knew the people sent couldn't come back? We knew something happened that night, so immediately sent people over. Originally wanted to rescue, but after approaching carefully, found no one guarding the island, and very smoothly brought people back."

"At that time, thought they discovered the leak and transferred the position directly. Didn't hold hope the next day, just wanted to try luck to see, but unexpectedly discovered three boats stopped on the island. Except for two people watching on the boat, everyone else was on the mountain."

"Fortunately, we had many people, caught them all back, interrogated, didn't expect that besides participating in smuggling, there was actually pirate treasure on the mountain."

"And coincidentally, they had been looking for more than half a month and hadn't found it. When we went to the island, they also just found it blocked by stones, weeds overgrown, hadn't had time to go back to get a hammer to knock, but were reported, running around the island, and were all caught by us later."

Maritime Bureau's Chen Juzhang was also surprised, didn't expect such an unexpected surprise delivered to the door?

"Then isn't this picked up for nothing?"

"Right, heard that only two people had been looking on the island before. Later the fishing boat was stolen, no way, only then told the cousin to help, so there were more people these two days, and the efficiency was high." Border Defense Deputy Director said excitedly.

"The person who wrote the anonymous letter guessed it was the one who stole the fishing boat? Seeing their fishing boat docked on the small island, so saw money and started greed, then stole the boat and was afraid of revenge, so deliberately reported that the island was a smuggling den? Just to borrow a knife to kill?"

"Possible, but no way to find the one who wrote the anonymous letter. That dog-crawling script is ugly, some words are missing arms and legs, one look knows it's an old fisherman who is illiterate. There are many such people in our whole county..."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

How is he illiterate? How is he old?

Ugly script is ugly script, but fisherman is fisherman, why add an "old"?

Lin Xiuqing stood by the stove, back to the people, pricked up her ears and used a water ladle to load hot water into the thermos, pretending to work, hearing people dislike the script, couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, how did those people know there was pirate treasure on the island?"

Ye Yaodong feigned curiosity as he asked the question he had been wanting to ask all along.

He originally thought it was a gold mine, didn't expect it to be pirate treasure!

Thinking this way, the possibility is quite large. After all, Luzhoudao has several villages, originally descendants of pirates, decades of intermarriage, can be said to have spread throughout the island.

In the years when pirates were rampant, they must have accumulated a lot of treasures, and hiding them everywhere is also possible.

So, the two dog-head gold nuggets he had were actually pirate treasure? Instead of being formed because there was a gold mine underneath?

Others also echoed a few words, "Right, how did those people know there was pirate treasure on that island? This guess is not a few years?"

"If known early, definitely would have been sent to search, is it recently discovered clues?"

"Said it was during Qingming sweeping the tomb, because it rained for several days, the soil was loose, they accidentally stepped on a soil slope in front of the ancestor's tomb, and discovered a wooden box. Someone picked it up and hid it secretly, opened it when going back and found a yellowed letter inside, scribbled with the treasure location."

"Then those people thought of the nursery rhymes they had been singing since childhood, and believed that there was treasure on that island, so they looked for it on the island."

"What nursery rhyme?"

Border Defense Deputy Director thought for a while and recited two sentences, "What no way to north and south, east XZ island, what what, gold and silver ten thousand ten thousand five... forgot what's behind."

"Quite a long nursery rhyme, heard people on the island can recite it, passed down generation by generation, but it shouldn't refer to that island. We chiseled open the mountain cave yesterday afternoon, and only found a little bit of things, not much."

"This is quite strange, accidentally discovered a small treasure point, hasn't been reported yet, right?" Chen Juzhang asked.

"Not yet, searched and found it yesterday afternoon and first brought it back to the station to seal it, today continued to search the mountain, want to see if there is any more, this has to be understood before reporting."

"Then the anonymous reporter did a good thing."

"He didn't lose, got a boat for nothing. Now these people on Luzhoudao, those involved have been caught, and a lot of those involved in smuggling on the island have been caught. Will be interrogated again these few days, guess can catch another batch in the next few days. Those caught won't have good fruit to eat. The anonymous reporter can also openly fish with the stolen boat."

"The guts are quite big, there are hundreds of villages in this county, no way to inquire where there is one more boat."

"Just as a reporting reward..."

Ye Yaodong listened from the side. Although he also felt it was a pity that he hadn't discovered anything after wandering around the island for several days, he couldn't keep everything to himself either.

People had evidence and still looked for more than half a month. He relied only on two mineral stones, and guessed it was a gold mine, it would be a miracle if he could find it.

Don't know how many years, the cave entrance was blocked, weeds definitely don't know how high they grew.

He felt that the two dog-head gold nuggets were very likely discovered when people locked the box, felt it didn't look like anything, and wasn't gold, so threw it away, just happened to roll to the side of a tree, and was buried under the soil after a long time, accidentally discovered by him.
