Chapter 1290 Animal Skin

Li Mo's performance was not confident enough, which made Lehdo feel bad.

"Keep digging, dig out all the soil within a thirty-meter radius, and let everyone pay attention to prevent the gold and gems from being dug up and dumped elsewhere.

Rehdo nodded, and went over to arrange for four excavators to start excavating in a new place to remove all the soil in this area.

Fortunately, Li Mo's prediction was right. In the newly excavated area, buried gold and gemstones were discovered again at a depth of three to four meters, and there were a lot of them.

Li Mo only gave instructions and did not participate in the manual excavation process. He could only roughly judge the age of these gold gems, but he did not know much about their historical significance and market value.

Sona continued to translate the comments made by archaeological experts, many of which related to the history of ancient Indian dynasties, which greatly enriched his knowledge.

Rehdo is now here around the clock. He is the general person in charge. As long as he is present, every day media reports will inevitably include his lens, and he has the most lenses. Of course, Li Mo has a lot of scenes, but most of them answer simple questions while avoiding the most important ones.

In his words, he has a specialization in his field of study. As for the history of ancient America, of course, the archaeological experts in his country know more about it, so he doesn't do the same thing. . . . No, people in Gobia can’t understand it even if I use the idiom.

Anyway, what I probably want to express is that Gobia’s archaeological experts are more proficient in this aspect. Therefore, the evaluation of Li Mo's character by the people of Gobia is one-sided praise.

"Li Mo, do you want to eat here for lunch or go back to the hotel?"

Seeing noon, Qin Sijun asked softly.

"Just eat here and deal with any bite you like."

"Okay, I'll go get some food."

The food here is the responsibility of local officials and will be prepared and delivered every day. Li Mo is somewhat resistant to the local food culture. But it's actually very delicious when you actually take a bite. For example, there is a kind of roast beef. A large piece of beef leg bone is first marinated and then roasted at a low temperature. The surface is golden yellow. You can use both hands to pull it. The whole big piece of meat is like falling apart and turned into boneless meat. The inside is tender and juicy. It is topped with a locally prepared hot sauce. One bite is absolutely satisfying.

Qin Sijun brought a plate of roast beef, added some vegetables and spicy sauce, and said with a smile: "That Lehdo thought we would go back to the hotel for dinner today, but he actually gave us extra rice. I don't care, I just put the ready-made After it was brought over, he rushed to get more food. "

"So even if he has a chance to ascend to a high position in the future, he probably won't be able to sit there for long. Don't worry about them, we can just feed ourselves." Li Mo said lightly, "Miss Sona, let's open our bellies and eat well. It's not enough for Lei Go and order more, Hedo.”

"Then I'm not polite." Sona was really rude. She may have been with Li Mo for several days and felt that he was an informal person. She asked curiously while eating, "Mr. Li, I'm taking the liberty to ask you something." "Excuse me, what is Mr. Rehdo's background? He seems to be a high-ranking official."

"So you don't know his identity yet." Li Mo smiled, glanced at his back and said, "Before the treasure hunt, he was the ambassador to China, and he is leading this treasure hunt."

"Ambassador, what a great official."

Sona was unexpectedly shocked. After contacting him for several days, she thought he just had a certain official status, but she never thought that his status was so high.

After staying at the construction site for a day, a group of heavily armed soldiers escorted several large boxes of gold and gems away. Today, another four to five hundred pieces were successfully excavated, including a dozen gold products or combination products.

For example, there is a gold leaf pendant, which was actually worn by the leader of an ancient tribe who believed in plants. It is made up of about thirty gold leaves and hangs down on the chest. It is really rich and noble.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Mo sent a text message: Action.

"Hello Mr. Li."

As soon as Li Mo walked into the lobby on the first floor, he saw a beautiful front desk waiter trotting over and said respectfully in broken Chinese: "There is a gentleman who wants to see you. He is waiting for you over there in the coffee shop."

Qin Sijun snorted and said politely: "Mr. Li is tired and doesn't see anyone."

Sona also cast a very dissatisfied look at the front desk clerk. Li Mo is the most distinguished guest in the hotel. As a receptionist, you only need to convey the message. How can you leave your post at will?

Li Mo also ignored them directly. There were many people who wanted to see him, so just meet them as soon as they came, and you wouldn't be annoyed to death in the future.

He took three steps and then stopped. Sona couldn't dodge and bumped into his back.

"Miss Sona, please tell me that no matter who wants to see me in the future, you will refuse it directly for me. If anyone wants to pass the message on my behalf, don't blame me for turning against the person."

Li Mo's tone seemed cold, and Sona knew that he was really angry.

At this time, five men came from the coffee shop, and they saw Li Mo waving hurriedly.

The man walking at the front was in his twenties or thirties. He was dressed in gold and silver and looked like a second-generation rich man. In the hotel, he was still wearing sunglasses, a windbreaker, and his hair was combed meticulously. The four people behind him should be bodyguards, all of them with strong backs and stern faces.

"Mr. Li, it is Mr. Connery who wants to meet you." The front desk clerk introduced without giving up, "He is saying hello to you."

Li Mo couldn't understand what nonsense the second-generation rich man was saying, but he was just curious about what business he wanted from him.

"Sijun, let's go."

What kind of bird are you? I can't be bothered to talk to you.

Seeing him turning around to leave, the wealthy second-generation man became anxious. He waved his hand quickly, and four bodyguards behind him immediately surrounded him, blocking the way for several people.

"Mr. Li, he said that this big hotel is his family's property, so he wants to invite you to have dinner with him."

Sona reminded in a low voice.

"Ask him what's important?"

Li Mo suppressed the thought of taking action against Lei Lei. If he had nothing important to do, he would kill all the four bodyguards blocking the road.

Sona communicated a few words with the rich second generation, and then translated: "Mr. Li, Mr. Connelly said that their family has an ancestral treasure map, and I want you to take a look at it to see if you can find any clues hidden in it."

"Ask him to send the treasure map to my room and forget about eating while I lose weight."

Li Mo glanced at the four bodyguards, and then glanced at Qin Sijun, who unbuttoned his coat and lifted the corner of his clothes, revealing the handle of a gun.

The expressions of the four bodyguards suddenly changed. Damn it, this person who looked like a bodyguard actually carried a gun with him. It really made him anxious. He might do something extremely evil.

The four of them made way for a passage, and Li Mo walked into the elevator with a slight hum, followed closely by Qin Sijun and Sona.

"Miss Sona, is that really the prince of your hotel?"

Sona shook her head and said, "I don't know. I have never seen or heard that the boss has such a son. No wonder the person at the front desk went to the front desk to fawn over him. He was originally the boss's son.

"If he really comes, take him to my room."

"Okay, I'll guard the elevator entrance."

Back in the room, Qin Sijun asked: "Why did you agree to see him again?"

Li Mo threw his coat on the sofa and said with a smile, "The treasure map he carries is a bit interesting."

It turned out that the other party really had a treasure map with him, but how did Li Mo know about it? Qin Sijun was quite depressed. In addition to being mysterious and incredible, Li Mo seemed to be unable to find suitable words to express his feelings in his eyes.

The wealthy second generation walked into the room under the leadership of Sona, and this time the four bodyguards stayed at the door. There were two bodyguards standing on each side of the door. They stared unconvincingly at the dozen men who came out of the room. They all had Asian faces and hoped they were not from the same group.

One of them had a sarcastic smile on his face and muttered a lot, causing the other three to laugh contemptuously, seemingly with a bit of contempt.

The security guards Li Mo brought here are all the elite among the elite in the country. Although I can't understand what they are talking about, from their eyes and actions, I can probably tell that they despise himself and others. .

One of them reached out and touched his waist indifferently, and the others also touched their waists calmly, as if they would be beaten into sieves if they just said one more word.

The four bodyguards Connery brought over were dumbfounded almost at the same time. The smiles on their lips suddenly stiffened, and their eyes became a little more frightened. They were also trained, and naturally they could tell at a glance that the dozen men in the aisle were carrying guns.

The other party won't argue with them at all. If they want to fight, they should get serious. It depends on whether they are more powerful with their words or the other party's guns are more powerful.

The four people shut up and stood there with sweat on their backs. If possible, they wanted to sit on the ground and rest, or leave the damn hotel corridor.

Connery was still angry, and he revealed his identity, but Li Mo actually ignored him and asked him to personally deliver the treasure map. For such a famous young master from a rich family, it is 100% humiliating.

"Mr. Li, this box contains our family's ancestral treasure map." Connelly placed a rectangular wooden box on the dining table, then sat down on his own and felt how comfortable the sofa was. .

Li Mo didn't fuss with him and signaled Qin Sijun to open the wooden box, revealing a piece of animal skin. I don’t know if it has been passed down for too long, or if it has not been properly maintained and protected over the years. The entire animal hide is dry and wrinkled, and there are many black lines drawn on the surface. However, most of the lines have been broken. In addition, because the animal hide has lost moisture, it is difficult to see the lines on the animal hide when it is wrinkled together. What the hell.

"Mr. Connery, this hide is almost useless. Why did you come to me to see it?"

Li Mo asked calmly, but because of his attitude, Connery retreated. After many inquiries, their family found out that Li Mo was not only known as the Golden Eye in China, but also one of the most authoritative appraisal experts.

I sent someone over yesterday, but there was no response, so under the pressure of my elders, I had to go there in person to see if I could have a good talk with Li Mo in person, but the other party didn't give me any face after the meeting.

At this moment, he felt very humiliated, as if he had been tricked.

"I can take a look. As long as you dare to leave it to me, I might be able to restore what this animal skin treasure map originally looked like."

Li Mo changed his subject again.

Connery wasn't sure what he was thinking, so he asked cautiously: "How sure are you of the recovery you just mentioned?"

"More than 60%, I won't lie to you."

"A 60% probability is good enough, Mr. Li. I can make the decision. As long as you have a way to unlock the secret of the treasure map, you can do whatever you want."

Connery was not just saying this casually. This treasure map has been stored for a long time. He has had this animal skin since his grandfather's generation, but he has never known how to crack it.

It has been thrown in the basement safe anyway. It is the same thing to have it or not, so when he heard the probability of more than 60%, he immediately made a decision.

"Okay, in this case, Sijun, go to the bathroom and put half a basin of warm water. It should be about 40 to 50 degrees hot."

Qin Sijun walked into the bathroom and quickly brought out half a basin of water: "Try whether the water temperature is suitable?"

Li Mo stretched out his hand to feel it and nodded. The water temperature was just right. In the astonished eyes of everyone, he quickly picked up the dry animal skin treasure map from the wooden box and threw it into the warm water basin.

Connery subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it was too late. In this case, he could only see what tricks Li Mo was playing.

Li Mo pressed the animal skin into the warm water, and waited until it was completely wet before letting go. Then he saw the animal skin treasure map floated to the surface and was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Connery saw this scene and seemed to have a sudden realization. Since the animal skin had dried and deformed, it would be soaked in water. When it absorbs water, it will naturally become what it was before losing water.

At that time, all the lines can be returned to their positions, and then you can naturally see the complete repaired treasure map.

Is this method very clever?

In fact, it is not clever at all. We often encounter such physical phenomena in our daily lives.

Sona brought everyone a glass of mineral water, and then the four of them watched quietly as the animal skin gradually became thicker after absorbing water. After about twenty minutes, the originally dry animal skin had soaked up a large basin.

"It's almost time, let's spread it flat on the dining table."

Sona quickly put away the other things on the dining table, and then assisted Li Mo to carefully lay the animal skin that had been washed and changed a lot on the table.

"This really looks like a treasure map." Li Mo said in surprise after scanning it.

Connolly even exaggeratedly approached the treasure map, observing every inch of the surface of the animal skin.

"This is a schematic diagram of the rainforest in each area." Connolly's face turned strange, "No, the Golden Lake is marked here, which is now the Guadavida Lake. Is this map really a treasure map? But I can't see anything unusual, it's really strange."
