Chapter 364: Copper Coins

Wang An took out the rope, wanting to tie a jar-lifting knot for this jar, and then two people would carry it away.

However, Wang An held the rope and circled for a long time, and this knot was finally not tied.

And so, Wang An immediately shouted: "Who knows how to tie a jar-lifting knot?"

To be honest, this jar-lifting knot, most people really don't know.

Because the jar-lifting knot is different from the bucket-lifting knot; the bucket-lifting knot exerts force in two directions, and most people know it, while the jar-lifting knot exerts force in four directions.

Wang Dazhu heard this and immediately said unhappily:

"What's wrong? You should have said it earlier, I was just watching you hold a rope and gesture blindly there."

Wang An smiled awkwardly and didn't speak, stepping aside to make room.

Just then, second uncle Wang Daliang suddenly said to Wang An:

"I tell you Xiao An, if there is any work you can't do, just find your dad, that's definitely right, your dad has been clever since he was a child."

Wang An said with a smile: "Is that so, second uncle, then my dad is quite vicious."

Wang Daliang hadn't answered yet, Wang Dazhu had already tied the jar-lifting knot.

Only heard Wang Dazhu say to Wang An: "20-something years old, can't do anything..."

Wang An directly ignored his father's mockery and said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:

"Xueli, Old Five, you two carry the jar, let's go back to the sled to eat."

The two agreed and inserted an iron shovel handle into the rope.

A group of people talked and walked toward the sled.

When everyone returned to the sled, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

To save time, everyone just lit a fire to boil a pot of water and roasted the steamed buns or big cakes that were frozen hard.

Then they ate dry food and drank water, which was considered solving lunch.

Even so, after everyone simply ate lunch, it was already one-thirty in the afternoon.

Brother Nine's first secret had been found, and Wang An always felt that the second secret was basically the same routine.

And so, Wang An led everyone to drive the sleds and walked directly toward the southwest direction for about 1800 meters.

In these mountains, the four directions of east, west, south, and north are particularly easy to find, because there are the sun and big trees as reference objects.

But whether it is southeast or southwest, or northeast or northwest, as long as you take one wrong step, you will inevitably go completely off course.

Then you will go further and further on the wrong path, and you won't be able to run back to the right path for a while.

And Wang An led everyone to successfully go off course.

Of course, Wang An didn't discover this problem at first.

But when Wang An had searched within a mile of the vicinity and still hadn't found the high grass that should have appeared, Wang An finally realized this problem.

At this time, Wang An was a bit anxious.

Because in this season, the afternoon time is relatively short, and it will be dark at about 5:30.

Even if they leave now, it will be almost dark when they get home.

But the location was not found, and the direction was wrong, isn't this nonsense!

After searching for a while, Wang An looked at his watch, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Wang An was a bit anxious, because Wang An had a strong premonition in his heart that other people who were also looking for the secret left by Brother Nine might already be on the way.

The key is that the days of felling trees and preparing wood delayed too much time, and with Brother Nine's injury, he might have been dead for many days.

Damn!

Thinking and thinking, Wang An finally decided that no matter whether he found it in the afternoon or not, he would spend the night in the mountains.

After Wang An finished telling everyone this decision, maybe because everyone had already received benefits, no one opposed it.

Instead, everyone was eager to try, and no one took the matter of whether they could go home at night to heart.

Seeing this, Wang An continued to search.

In fact, Wang An also thought about returning to the starting point, that is, the forbidden area, setting the direction, and searching again.

But it must be said that the distance of 1800 meters is too large, and wanting to not make a mistake in one step is simply impossible. Finally, nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang An found a piece of grass that was somewhat abnormal.

But what made Wang An puzzled was that the area occupied by these grasses was really a bit large.

And the terrain of the whole piece of grass was relatively much higher than the place where the grain cellar was located.

The key is that this place has trees, but I don't know why, the few trees inside don't grow well, looking half-dead.

Whatever, just dig.

And so, everyone dug again.

However, soon, everyone began to feel that something was wrong, because everyone dug into wood.

After clearing the soil, everyone discovered that at the very bottom of the pit, a few square timbers were lying horizontally underneath in a mess.

This result came out, and everyone was confused.

Immediately after, Lin Dajiang said very uncertainly:

"Did we dig into someone's ancestral grave?"

Wang Dashu heard this and immediately jumped into the pit to observe.

After a long time, Wang Dashu said very firmly to Lin Dajiang:

"Dajiang, you are right, this is still the wood burned by the early big households. This wood has been burned, it won't break for a hundred or two hundred years, now this grave has collapsed, that is to say, this grave must be a hundred or two hundred years old, dig, it's fine."

Lin Dajiang didn't answer, but exclaimed:

"We really dug up someone's ancestral grave?"

Only saw Wang Dashu glare at Lin Dajiang and said unhappily:

"What are you shouting about, if Sun Dama didn't bomb that dead old woman's grave, where would there be money?"

Lin Dajiang shut his mouth in embarrassment, blinked, and didn't speak.

Maybe all Chinese people have deep hatred for that dead old woman.

If it weren't for her, various treaties that humiliated the country and forfeited its sovereignty might not have been signed.

If it weren't for her, China would not have been hard-pressed to retreat for decades.

Therefore, anyone who speaks ill of that dead old woman will not be refuted, but will echo to scold her.

But in any case, her life for herself was really not lived in vain.

Only heard Wang Dashu continue: "This wood is burned pine wood, it won't break for a hundred or two hundred years, now this grave has collapsed, that is to say, this grave must be a hundred or two hundred years old, dig, it's fine."

After Wang Dashu finished speaking, he climbed out of the pit.

Wang An didn't speak the whole time, because Wang An had no interest at all in digging up other people's ancestral graves.

But for digging graves, he was very interested.

It must be said, this thing is simply one of the means to get rich overnight.

However, what made Wang An curious was, how did ancient graves appear in this deep mountain and old forest?

One must know that the entire Kao Shan Tun, and the surrounding villages, were originally not many households.

And these few households were also those who fled here to avoid war.

So where did these big households pop out from?

Wang An didn't have time to think, everyone began to expand the pit.

Immediately after, small jars or small cans were all broken.

And what was inside was mostly useless things—copper coins.

This thing, even when Wang An was reborn, was not valuable, ordinary copper coins were only three or five yuan each.

Very few copper coins could reach thousands, but there was no market, because no one wanted them at all.

And in this era, this thing is truly worthless.

However, Wang An knew that after three or four years, this thing could be sold for money.

It seems to be 50 cents a catty, and the scrap collectors in the county town all collect it.
