Emergency Doctor Mercenary Road

   Chapter 49

  The restaurant manager was very grateful to Lu Fei, and insisted on giving them a free order and a platinum membership card. Lu Fei thanked the restaurant for the kindness, and after the two finished eating, they went back to the hotel to enjoy the world of two.

   Of course, Lu Fei was "tired no matter how busy he was" at night, so he also remembered to enter the training hall and continue his devil training.

   Monday, May 25.

  Lu Fei got on the plane back to Carson, and this time he was determined not to send him by Leverry. Saving people last night, the people who were there eating melons have put the rescue video on the Internet. Although the camera was panned and the quality was poor, there were people who recognized Livery and Jack. There are gossip media that have widely reported the two people's love as a real hammer. Today, the two appear together again, and they will show their love.

   When I got home at noon, the fence gate was wide open, and there were traces of things dragging on the grass in the yard. Lu Fei became nervous. He touched the ring with his finger, and a M1911A1 appeared in his hand. He hunched over and ran to the door, just about to take a look. I heard mother Sally's shouting from the hall.

  Lu Fei quickly put away the pistol, knocked on the door solemnly, and walked in.

   "Mom, David, you guys are back, is everything okay?"

"My dear son, take a good look at my mother. I've been missing for about a month. I want to kill my mother. Come and kiss me." Sally was so happy that she didn't care about packing her bags. Forehead messed up.

   "You've been in France for a long time, and you've been immoral. You've messed up my hair. When are you coming back. Don't tell me, I'll pick you up."

   "We only arrived about an hour ago. I really don't know if the international flight will be delayed, so I won't notify you." David said with a smile.

"You're not here, and you lied to your mother and me with rhetoric. The news said that you had a candlelight dinner with S in Los Angeles last night. You were like me, and you even said that you came to pick me up. You married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother." Sally said nothing. Compassion exposed Lu Fei's false politeness.

   Lu Fei smiled apologetically and said a few words. Sally began distributing her European line-sourced loot, ranging from men's belt bags to women's clothing and bags. I also bought a gift for S very carefully, a bag of the latest Chanel style, which is very fashionable. Lu Fei was naturally flattering, and looked forward to the harmonious relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. After the three people tossed and tossed their clothes and bags for a while, they gradually settled down.

   "I heard that the wife of the copper mine owner Sifford gave birth to a child. Did you deliver the child?" David asked.

   "Yes, Lily had a sudden heart failure at that time, and I was the one who treated it. What's wrong? It's alright, I remember calling back last week, and it was all good." Lu Fei wondered.

"No, it's all good. I have a good relationship with him. Sometimes we hunt and drink beer together. He called me a while ago to tell me that he had a son. He was very happy and highly respected you." David smiled. said.

   "If it's all right this afternoon, I want to go see him. If you have time, can you go together and check on his wife and child's body."

   "No problem, I've already resigned anyway, and I'll go to the clinic tomorrow to take over. I'll be fine this week anyway, and I'll go to Los Angeles next week."

   "Ah, you resigned? Why didn't I know? Tell me honestly." Sally became anxious when she heard it.

  Lu Fei lowered his head, first admitted his mistake, and told them his plans after the last attack. Although Sally understood Lu Fei's thoughts, she was still a little unhappy, but Lu Fei was still young after all, and she wanted to see the prosperous world. Besides, being a military doctor in the future is also a legitimate profession. She also thought that she could bring the big star home, so she didn't say anything, but Sally was still very reluctant. The mother and son hadn't lived together for a long time in these years.

   When Sally was cooking at noon, she found that the gas stove was blocked. It was blocked by the lime powder that was overwhelming the last time. Lu Fei was once again complained by Sally, saying that he was thinking of some bad idea and insisted on doing things at home.

   The three of them went to town for dinner. When they got home, Lu Fei took David to the mine in Westford. Mom was in a bad temper today, so she should hide for a while. After all, I want to go out to have a single. As a mother and son who depended on each other when they were young, it is normal for my mother to be unhappy, so don't talk to her anymore.

  David drove and arrived at the copper mine ten minutes later. There was a villa next to the copper mine, where Seaver lived with his wife and children, a few hundred meters away from the mine.

  After meeting, everyone naturally greeted each other and exchanged greetings. David also bought a rotted country pipe for Sifford. Long time no see, the two naturally have a lot to talk about. Lu Fei went to check the bodies of Lily and the child. The results are not bad, they are relatively healthy, Lily's body is also recovering, not so fast to fully recover.

  Silver was very happy that they visited, and his wife and children were all fine after the checkup, so he felt even more relieved. To take the two of them to visit the museum of the copper mine, David and Lu Fei are also necessary, and they will follow Seafo to learn more.

  The main purpose of building the Copper Mine Museum is to attract tourists and sell some copper utensils and gadgets. Through the introduction of the pictures of some minerals on the wall, Lu Fei also knows the knowledge of copper mines and gold mines. An oil painting hanging in the corner caught Lu Fei's attention. In the oil painting is a middle-aged white aristocrat with a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor.

   To Lu Fei’s surprise, there was a necklace hanging around the neck of the person in the painting, and the pendant of the necklace was something like a bullet. It was almost identical to the copper pipe that Lu Fei took out from Raymond.

   "Mr. Sifford, who is the character in this oil painting, and why is it hanging here? Is there any story?" Lu Fei asked Sifford curiously.

"The man in the picture was the largest mine owner in Nevada at the time, a descendant of a Spanish nobleman who owned all the land and mines nearby at that time. But then things changed. When Europeans made a fortune here, naturally The interests of the Indians were violated, and the two sides had a serious conflict in May 1860. The Indians killed 76 whites, and the whites killed 160 Indians in retaliation. Later, the two sides entangled and fought for a long time. Here is chaos. The situation continued until 1864, when Nevada became a state of the United States and was brought into normal administration.

   Because the situation was too chaotic at the time, the mine was also attacked by the Indians. After persevering for two months, he still fled to Mexico. Who knew that he caught cholera on the way and died suddenly in three days. The mine was hurriedly sold at a low price by later generations. The years have changed, and the large mining areas and land here have been split up and sold one by one. It can be regarded as a trace of this history. Speaking of which, your ranch and Lake Tahoe were his turf back then. "Silver seems to have studied the history of this place quite a bit, and explained the reason for it.

   "Why does he wear a pendant like a bullet on his chest? It's very strange."

   "This is a tradition of their family, which means that their wealth and status are obtained by iron and fire, guns and bullets. The ancestors of this family were the first members of the army that Spain came to America to plunder."

   "Thank you, I'm curious to ask, what minerals did his mine produce back then?"

"Copper and gold mines, mainly copper mines, used a lot of black slaves and Indians to open the mines. The miners' blood and the crime of trampling their lives are everywhere. It is said that cholera was deliberately passed on to him by his black slaves. Not a good person either."

   "So it is, then copper mining is indeed much more civilized now. Thank you, Mr. Silver, for gaining insight." Lu Fei said suddenly. Next, they visited the excavation and refining process of the copper mine. It wasn't until it got dark that I said goodbye to going home.

During dinner, Lu Fei remembered the copper pipe he got, and he was a little absent-minded. He vaguely felt that the copper pipe was not simple, and there might be some secrets hidden in it, but he was not an expert in decryption, and he even had engineering knowledge such as machinery. Not much is known. You can't consult experts at will, there may be big secrets and even wealth.

   "What is my son thinking, he won't start missing his girlfriend after a day apart." Mom teased. When Lu Fei was asked by his mother, he reminded him that his mother was a photojournalist in his early years, and David was well-informed, so he could ask them.

  Lu Fei found the copper pipe from his first aid kit, told Sally and David about the ins and outs of the matter and how the copper pipe was obtained, and handed the copper pipe to David.

  Sally and David were very interested, David immediately went to the study to get some small tools, magnifying glasses, small vise, and even containers and measuring cups. Sally first looked up and down for 5 minutes and said, "According to several treasure cases I reported as a photojournalist in the past, and the material of the tube, I think there may be treasure clues in this tube. Because This tube is hollow."

   "Ah, Mom, you are too arbitrary. After reading it for a while, you came to this conclusion. It is obviously a copper pipe, and its weight is about the same."

   "No, this isn't a copper pipe, Jack, pinch the pipe with your fingernails to see if it leaves any marks." Lu Fei did as he was told, and found that there were indeed marks on the copper pipe.

"This is gold, gold is soft, and copper won't make any marks. And the weight of gold is wrong. David, first calculate the volume, then weigh the weight, calculate the density, and you will know whether the tube is hollow or not. "Sally said confidently. David begins a series of operations, measuring the volume of water in the measuring cup, and weighing the tube. After a while, he said to the mother and son, "It's true that the data doesn't match, the density is wrong, and the density is lower than copper." David said.

  David took a magnifying glass and looked back and forth at the bottom of the tube, and took a small brush to clean it carefully. He watched for a long time and put forward his own opinion: "The bottom of the copper pipe is likely to be removable, the pipe has scratches near the bottom, and it is old traces, and the bottom may be a screw that can be unscrewed or pulled out. cover."

   "Then try, David, just twist it," Lu Fei urged.

  David held the bottom with his fingers and twisted with the force of his fingers. But the copper pipe didn't respond at all. It won't work after a few pulls, and this kind of attempt has little reference value, and the place where the fingers are struggling is too small. If you use a tool such as a vise, it is very likely to damage the copper pipe.

  Lu Fei asked David to pass the copper pipe. With the mentality of trying, he pinched the circle at the bottom with his fingers, and with all his strength, twisted it clockwise. Only a slight "click" sounded, and the three looked at each other excitedly, knowing that there was a drama.

   "My son is very strong, work hard, clockwise, come on." Sally said excitedly.

Lu Fei continued to tighten, and then it became a little easier. However, after 150 years or more, the thread inside was very obscure, and it was not smooth to twist. Lu Fei twisted 5-6 times in a row, and the bottom was round. The cover gradually came off. Sally picked up the small tweezers in the small part on the table, held up the small flashlight, and slowly pulled a roll of paper from the tube.

  There is no air circulation in the tube, and the paper is better preserved. Lu Fei put on his gloves and slowly spread out the paper. The paper was not big, and it was only a quarter of the size of A4 paper. The text on the paper took up half, and the other half was a map.

   "The text is in Spanish, David, you seem to have learned it, come and see."

   "What does it mean that you seem to have learned it? Spanish is the first foreign language I learned in college. You have forgotten who did the translation for you when you went to South America. I'll take a look and translate it for you."

  David looked at the text in the picture for a while, then looked at the picture again, the boss with his mouth open.

"Dear, Jack, we are going to send it! This is the treasure map left by the mine owner. The text describes the last batch of copper ingots and gold that he had mined and had not been transported away in order to escape the war. The bricks are hidden. The hidden location is in a cave in a mountain. This cave is extremely hidden. It was reinforced and arranged by their family after they were found. The mine owner left clues to leave wealth for future generations. This golden pipe writes Knowing that the wealth belongs to his eldest son, and his daughter has no share."

"Then we don't necessarily get rich. With the treasure map, the treasure does not necessarily belong to us. If it is an unowned land, it must be divided with the country. If it is someone else's land, it will be married to someone else. Clothes." Sally looked at David strangely, David didn't look like someone with no common sense.

   "Look at this picture and see where it is?" The mother and son lowered their heads at the same time.

   After looking at it for 3 seconds, the two of them raised their heads at the same time, and said in unison: "Qinghu Mountain!"

The three reconfirmed that the treasure map showed Qinghu Mountain. The details in the picture were very clear. At the end of the narrow waterway leading to Lake Tahoe from Qinghu Mountain, there was an arrow to the front left after landing, and next to the arrow was written very Small and very small words, 50 meters, the arrow bent in the direction of the mountain again.
