Chapter 74: Hoxon (1)
When I just heard the village chief say that the treasure was dug, Li Ming was shocked.
Before coming here, he had done his homework at least, and there was no news of Hoxon's treasure being unearthed recently.
When Li Ming heard the village chief say the "Hokson Stone Axe", he realized it.
It turns out that what the village chief said was not the same as his goal.
In fact, the existence of the Hoxon Stone Axe made him more sure that the treasure was in this village;
History does record that after a team led by the University of Chicago conducted extensive excavation and investigation in 1978, the Romans discovered the treasure buried here about one kilometer away from the brick pit.
When Li Ming told the village chief that he planned to pay for exploration and search for treasures throughout the village.
Although the village chief repeatedly explained the situation and said that it was just a waste of effort to find the treasure here, but his arms could not force his thighs, so the other party stopped dissuading him.
I had to accept the money with a smile.
Even if it is the signature of the program team of "Treasure Hunter", Li Ming needs to pay 500 pounds per household, and he will pay it himself.
The villagers of Hoxson are naturally happy about this kind of pound pickup.
Not to mention the additional benefits that Li Ming had after digging out the treasure, the exposure brought by the program team alone made the villagers very satisfied.
[Nothing has been done yet, I spent the money first, I lost my blood!]
[Whether this program team reports? After all, it is a program recording, so it should be half of it?]
[It's funny, should I give half of the program component to dig up the treasure?]
[It's a bit more than 100,000 yuan. I originally planned to go abroad to search for treasures. It seems that the cost is too high, forget it!]
[To put it quietly, many domestic treasure hunters use metal detectors to run to the old house to pick up silver dollars and copper coins~]
[There are also people who play metal detectors in China?]
......
As a result, more than 60 families in the entire village spent a total of 30,000 pounds. It was almost 300,000 yuan to exchange it for soft girl coins. The audience in the live broadcast room felt distressed for Li Ming just by looking at it!
Li Ming signed a complete exploration agreement with many villagers.
What made him overjoyed was that he found the name Eric Rous on the list of payments for the next payment, which means that even if it was a parallel world, his treasure was indeed here.
One party pays it with ease, and the other party signs with ease.
After completing the preliminary preparations, you can start treasure hunting;
But in this situation, Li Ming certainly cannot go straight to the burial place of the treasure.
At least he had three BBC live cameras and a group of foreign audiences in front of the TV;
Not to mention a group of domestic fans, countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this time, and at this time, we need to show the book "Actor's Self-cultivation" he usually studied hard.
Li Ming did not go straight to Eric Rous's yard at the first time, but started searching from the fields outside Hoxon Village.
I heard that treasure hunters and the film crew of BB's "Treasure Hunter" came in the village. Many adults and children from the village came over to watch the fun.
Especially after seeing Li Ming as an Asian, wherever he went, there must be a group of children following him from afar.
When he arrived at the wasteland outside the village, Li Ming assembled the metal detector in his hand and began to search in a pretentious manner.
Although the sun was poisonous at noon at this time, the three staff members of the Cbb film crew were very dedicated and did not talk nonsense throughout the filming.
Li Ming has a monitor headset, a 3D imager is hanging around his neck, and a detection rod in his hand is officially started under the gaze of everyone!
10 minutes ~
One hour ~
Two hours ~
The wasteland in front of him was filled with the searched marks, Li Ming found nothing, and he didn't even find an iron nail.
【After watching the silent film for two hours, Brother Ming at least said a few words? 】
[I have to say that men who do things seriously are good-looking~]
[The real treasure hunting process is indeed so boring. I guess I can't get anything out. Brothers, I'll go to bed first.]
[It's only afternoon for Brother Ming. We are already 11 or 2 o'clock in the evening. We're going to bed first. After the shipment, brothers, please help me record a screen!]
BBC broadcast backstage.
The director of "Treasure Hunter" got backstage data, and Li Ming's ratings were undoubtedly at the bottom.
This made the director frown, and even made him feel a little suspicious and regretful about his decision to arrange this Asian to appear on the show.
Professor Marco, who was sitting in the studio, had just discussed with the host the excellent team performance of the Monster Treasure Hunt;
It happened to be that from the director in front, he learned that Li Ming was planning to look for Roman treasures in Hoxon Village.
The professor who came to Cambridge University next to him was speechless: "If this Asian could find the treasure of the Romans from Hoxson, then I could salvage the treasure ship from Spain in the Indian Ocean."
Most of Spain's golden treasure ships are active in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, so the other party is a satirizing that Li Ming was delusionally trying to dig out the Roman treasures in an unrelated place.
The Cambridge professor made some sense. After the Romans ruled Britain, signs of Roman civilization spread throughout Britain, from the ancient fortresses, roads and walls left behind, to villas, palaces and spas...
On the screen in the studio, sweat had completely soaked Li Ming's shirt, and the beads of sweat that kept coming out of his face kept falling on the loess under his feet;
The villagers who watched the fun in the distance had already dispersed, after all, this freshness could last for a while.
Once the body sweats a lot, if the lost water is not replenished in time, it will cause dehydration.
Sitting cross-legged under the shade of the trees, Li Ming poured half a bucket of salted mineral water in succession. The refreshing breeze rolled over the hills and bushes in the distance and swept across his cheeks and made people feel very comfortable.
The scorching sun above my head was so fierce that the three photographers who followed the photo also took a short break under the shade of the trees next to me.
Li Ming planned to rest for half an hour before changing to another place. At this time, the live broadcast room was shouting at him and saying a few words.
"Before the Romans conquered, Britain had no cities, and even London was only a small trade settlement at that time, and later became a highway and inland trade center. The town gradually grew with the development of the market and administrative centers."
"After the civilized Romans conquered Britain, they began to build towns, gorgeous villas and public bathrooms like Rome."
"Roman rulers also built forts and roads, and in today's England, those routes that can be traced back to the famous straight roads that cross the hills and valleys throughout England.
"A little like the straight road built after our Qin Dynasty unified China!"
"In most Roman towns, there were many markets for merchants to sell goods, wealthy merchants and officials had luxurious houses, each villa had many rooms, servants and slaves, the powerful lived in rooms with mosaic floors, and the house also had central heating."
“At that time every Roman town in England had drainage systems and plenty of pure water, and even most towns had temples and public baths…”
In the cbb official live broadcast forum of "Treasure Hunter".
The posts discussing the other five teams were dense, but none of them discussed Li Ming.
This is because when the audience learned that the Asian wanted to find Roman treasures in Hoxon, they all gave up on continuing to discuss such a treasure hunter with a brain.
The gambling culture in the UK is very developed, and popular competition-oriented programs like "Treasure Hunter" are naturally loved by bookmakers.
Each episode of the program can make a fortune, and the probability of one out of six is very random.
At this time, among the real-time odds of the six teams, the Monster Treasure Hunting Team and the Legend Treasure Hunting Team are undoubtedly the two teams with the most bets;
As the only Asian player, Li Ming, has the lowest chance of winning.
The odds that led to him were also the largest.
The odds reached an astonishing 1 to 1,000, which is an unprecedented high odds.
In other words, you only need to bet 1 pound and you can win a prize of 1,000 pounds. This is because no contestant has received such treatment since the launch of the "Treasure Hunter".
