Chapter 3 Chapter 2 The King of Adventure

The snow is falling in the distant mountains, an old man is walking with a stick, and the church bell can be faintly heard. That mountain stinks, it's a mountain of garbage. Africa's largest garbage transfer station, which collects 2,400 tons of garbage every day and transports it here.In the past few years, the local population has tripled, and the residential area is besieged by large and small garbage mountains, and some people even live on the garbage mountains.The barren land does not produce grain, so it has to be leased to other countries for dumping garbage. Hundreds of black children stood by the side of the road. They didn't beg. They carried all kinds of things on their heads, bowls, iron pans, waste tires, old chairs... These things were picked up from the garbage mountain, and then offered to passers-by sell.

The old man looked at these children and remained silent! The next spring, the old man walked into the mayor's office. Elderly: "Those kids should go to school." Mayor: "Which children?" The old man: "The child who climbs the garbage mountain, the child who picks up garbage and sells it." Mayor: "Where does the money come from, are you a philanthropist?" Old man: "No." The mayor: "Then what you are holding must be a magic wand, which can turn stones into gold?" Old man: "Yes." There is no grass under the rubbish mountain, only a lot of small golden mushrooms grow in the dark and humid place. This kind of mushroom is beautiful and non-toxic, but it is not edible.The old man dug down a mushroom with a walking stick and introduced to the mayor that this golden mushroom is called enoki mushroom, which is closely related to gold. It can be collected from two gold mines in Australia that are more than 3,000 kilometers apart. There is a gold mine under the ground of the enoki mushroom.

The mayor was dubious, and hired a few workers to dig. The discovery of a gold mine wiped out mountains of garbage, wiped several villages off the map, and created a city! This old man is Hawthorne! Hawthorne, an American, grew pears in Iceland, orchids in Guinea, and celery in Mozambique.At the 43rd World Expo, he exhibited the potted plants he had grown. A dwarf tree was full of fruits. People were surprised to see that the same tree was full of apples, pears, citrus, and cherries. Wrapped with wisteria flowers.Hawthorne denies that he is a botanist, and this grafting technique is just a trivial skill in the eyes of botanists.

At the age of 30, Hawthorne obtained a doctorate in natural science, and at the age of 50, he was awarded the title of academician jointly issued by the United Kingdom and the United States, and set up a laboratory for him. At the age of 51, Hawthorne gave up all honors and left the laboratory. He claimed that the earth is a huge laboratory. Hawthorne travels with the wind, travels around the world, and visits cultural sites. Hawthorne established a global scientific research and archaeological team, with footprints all over the earth's north and south poles and the depths of the ocean.He led the archaeological team to salvage an ancient Spanish shipwreck and recovered 17 tons of colonial gold and silver treasures. In the second year, he and his archaeological team discovered the treasure cave of Viking pirates on a deserted island. These world-shaking archaeological wonders made him famous. A boring commercial TV station speculated that his savings were astronomical, but the fact is that he used the wealth to establish a secret foundation for international humanitarian relief. When donating that huge sum of money, I never signed my name.

He had a dog named Einstein and a cat named Darwin.It would be a great mistake to think that he was an insult to great men; no one loved animals more than he did.He remained unmarried all his life, living only with a granddaughter, an abandoned baby he picked up during his expeditions in Egypt.He named her Dora, sent her to school for the best education, listened to her sing, and watched her grow up.Sometimes, Hawthorne suspected that what he picked up was a princess.Undoubtedly, it was the most important discovery of his lifetime of archaeological expeditions. Dora is as beautiful as a goddess, her eyes are like two clear lakes, her hair is enough to make the homeless in the whole city forget the time, as long as she pouted, a king would be willing to sacrifice the city.When she fell asleep, there would be two little angels holding a holy staff to drive away her nightmares. At the age of 17, a playboy stopped her on her way home from school. He took out some banknotes and asked if he could invite her to dinner. Dora looked at the banknotes in his hand contemptuously and said:

"When I was 6 years old, I used rubies as glass balls." On her 21st birthday, Dora said to Hawthorne: "Grandpa, I am already a legal adult in the United States. I have the right to vote. I can smoke, drink, and watch striptease freely. The adventure stories you and I have told are all Liar, if not, you take me there. I shouldn’t worry about you at home, I should be in the ancient tomb, grab the sword from the zombie’s hand and fight with the zombie. I will meet my first A boyfriend, like in the movie, he is a hero. One thing, I received a fax from China, which invited you to be the captain of the archaeological team of Qinshihuang Mausoleum..."

Hawthorne was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book at the time, and immediately jumped up when he heard the news. The book in his hand fell to the ground. He asked in a shocked and excited tone, "Where is it? Give it to me quickly." "I've lost it," said Dora, "and alas, let me think about it, and I won't remember where I kept the invitation until you promise me one thing." Hawthorne asked eagerly, "What's the matter?" Dora said: "Take me with you, to China!" Hawthorne said: "Dora, you are a conspirator. I want to ask if you have bought a ticket to fly to China."

Dora said: "No, because the invitation letter says that there is a special military plane willing to serve you." Hawthorne said, "Okay, I'll take you there." Dora seemed very excited and gave the invitation letter to Hawthorne.For her, China is a country full of romance and legends. In her words, "everyone knows kung fu", and she believes that Chinese people are the most romantic. They like the moon, so there is Mid-Autumn Festival; With the Spring Festival.She considers Qin Shihuang one of the greatest emperors in the world. Hawthorne told Dora that there are only two tombs in this world, one is the Egyptian pyramid and the other is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is an underground palace, an underground city. According to the latest natural electric field method and nuclear magnetic resonance method, it is found that there is a huge space under the sealed soil, which negates the speculation that the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum has collapsed.

Dora asked Hawthorne: "What will be in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang?" Hawthorne replied: "It must be beyond our imagination, but we will know soon!"
