Chapter 363: Two Jars

With Wang An's order, everyone worked together again to dig the ground.

The Daxinganling mountain range is very large, and the depth of the frozen soil layer is also different.

From south to north, the frozen soil layer gradually deepens.

Like in the village, because there is less vegetation, the frozen soil layer is basically about 2 meters deep.

And in these mountains, because there are too many trees, and the leaves and grass are relatively thick, the frozen soil layer is basically only 1.5 meters deep.

This time, only digging more than a meter deep, before reaching the frozen soil layer, things were seen again.

Only heard a muffled sound of "clank," I don't know whose ice chisel broke some kind of hard object buried in the soil.

"Oh my god, what is this sound? Is there something underneath?"

"There must be something, my ice chisel seems to have hit a stone..."

"It's not a stone, it seems to be a basin or a jar, look, the soil seems to have leaked down a bit, this bottom is empty."

"Quick, where is the iron shovel, clear the soil on top, see what it hit."

"Hey, here, here."

Soon, after the soil was cleared, a piece of jar fragment also came out.

"Those with picks, expand the pit mouth, this pit mouth is too small, don't dare to push hard..."

"Hey, okay, the pick is here."

Then the sound of "bang," "bang"... "bang" of the pick digging the ground rang rhythmically.

Like this kind of pick digging the ground, normally it is taken in turns, but this time it was digging in three directions together.

After a while, the person with the big shovel began to shovel into the depths.

Immediately after, the people with ice chisels and iron shovels cooperated to dig deeper.

It must be said, doing this work requires people with relatively large strength, and there must be enough people, otherwise, this frozen hard soil cannot be moved at all.

After another nearly 2 hours, a deep pit with a diameter of about 1.5 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters was hard-dug out by a group of people.

And the things in the middle of the pit bottom were also completely displayed in front of everyone.

That is two jars.

To be precise, it is two identical pottery jars, but the top of one of the jars had already been broken, revealing things wrapped in yellow oil paper.

These two jars are about 40 centimeters high, about 30 centimeters in diameter, and the thickness is basically the same from top to bottom.

Wang An jumped to the bottom of the pit, bent his waist and buttocks, and then exerted force from his waist, and hugged the complete jar up.

The bottom of the jar had already passed the frozen soil layer, so it was not frozen.

After hugging the jar up, Wang An's heart was instantly happy.

Because the weight of this jar was not light at all, about 80 or 90 jin, it could be said to be dead heavy.

Wang An guessed that what was inside this jar was either gold or silver, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to be so heavy.

After hugging this jar out, Wang An wanted to hug the broken jar.

It's just that Wang An exerted a little force, and the jar was completely broken, and then the things wrapped in yellow oil paper inside were all scattered at the bottom of the pit.

Just looking at the shape of the yellow oil paper package, Wang An knew that what was wrapped in these yellow oil papers was all money!

And this money was all tightly stuffed into the jar, but the jar was not full.

And so, Wang An took out the flour bag he carried with him, and while counting the quantity, he put these yellow oil paper packages into the flour bag.

Not many, not few, exactly 40 packages; if all of them were big bundles, that would be exactly 40,000 yuan!

40,000 yuan, what is the concept in this era?

One must know that this person, Brother Nine, was just a small leader who turned over "soil smoke balls."

Not counting the things in the other jar, just counting the money, this is already a not-small amount!

Seeing the things in the jar, everyone naturally had guesses, but no one interrupted.

Although everyone is a relative, as long as they go into the mountains, regardless of age or seniority, they must listen to the leader.

After Wang An finished packing all the yellow oil paper packages, he climbed out of the pit.

Thinking about it, Wang An looked at everyone.

It could be seen that everyone's eyes were full of excitement and excitement that could not be concealed. These are all money!

Seeing everyone, including his father, silent, Wang An said with a smile:

"We don't have outsiders here, let's talk, should we divide it now, or divide it when we go home?"

It's just that after Wang An finished speaking, he waited for a while, and still no one spoke.

Wang An immediately understood that everyone wanted to divide it now, but if anyone had the idea of dividing it when going home, they would definitely say it.

However, Wang An was very understanding of this kind of thing, because money, in the whole world, pays attention to "falling into the bag for peace."

Everyone will have a feeling that only the money in their own pocket is the money that truly belongs to them!

Everyone's thoughts were the same.

Wang An didn't hesitate anymore, and directly poured out all the yellow oil paper packages from the flour bag.

Then Wang An said with a smile: "Come, come, come, divide the money, hahaha..."

Hearing Wang An's words, everyone was full of smiles, and then sat around Wang An.

As long as they go into the mountains, whether it is mountain felling, mountain shouting, or mountain trekking, it is calculated by head count, not by household.

After all, everyone is a whole, and when they exert effort, everyone exerts effort, and if they encounter any danger, everyone faces it together.

Therefore, dividing money is a very simple thing.

Without anyone doing it, Wang An tore the yellow oil paper himself, tore one and gave it to one person, then tore another and gave it to another, and so it was divided.

Everyone, including Wang An himself, had two stacks of big bundles, and there were 12 yellow oil paper packages that hadn't been torn.

Then, Wang An divided them two by two, two by two.

Finally, there were 5 left, which is 5,000 yuan.

Each person divided another 2,000, and the undivided money was 2 stacks and 200, which is 2,200 yuan, Wang An didn't divide anymore.

And at this time, not counting the remaining 2,200 yuan, everyone already had 2,700 yuan in their hands.

Wang An said with a smile: "These are my own, no problem, right? Hahaha."

Wang Dashu said happily: "That must be no problem, this is all our cheap pick-up."

After Wang Dashu finished speaking, others also echoed one after another.

In these mountains, everyone will consciously follow the rules of entering the mountains.

Although Wang An basically didn't do much work, as the leader, no one could deny that Wang An's contribution and merit were the greatest for everyone being able to divide so much money!

After dividing the money, Wang An pointed to the complete jar and said to everyone:

"There should be all good things here, definitely more valuable than the big bundles in our hands, but we don't have time to divide them, let's divide them when we go home, no problem, right?"

In fact, everyone had been guessing what was in this jar, but the leader didn't speak, and no one would open it.

Hearing Wang An say this, everyone suppressed their curiosity and echoed one after another:

"No problem, there's no place to put it after dividing, haha."

"Yeah, these two stacks of big bundles in the pocket are already in the way."

"That, I don't mind it being in the way, why don't you stuff it in my pocket too."

"Get out of here, I'll stuff you in the pocket in a while."

Hahaha... everyone laughed.

As for whether it was because of this sentence or because of the two stacks of big bundles in their pockets, that is unknown.
