Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan are both masters who do what they say.

Now that it has been decided, from Sunday, July 19, they will start to prepare according to the total.

In addition, Hong Yanwu also went to Mr. Shan's house and asked for advice about the situation of the Guanzi River under the pretense of chatting.

Where did Mr. Shan think that he was suffocating in his heart. I thought he was really interested in the establishment and architecture of the Forbidden City. I gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the tube river.

As a result, when Hong Yanwu heard this, his heart immediately felt relieved.

Because not only according to Mr. Shan, it is true that the river has not been cleaned of silt for more than 20 years. And most importantly, he also knows the relevant data of the Tube River.

The total length of the river is 3.5 kilometers, the water surface is 52 meters wide, and the water level can be as deep as 4.1 meters according to the stone bank marking.

In other words, judging from the last time he grabbed the fish and probed down, over the years, the actual water level of the Guanzi River, which is only replenished by natural rainfall, has dropped by more than two meters compared with the standard it should be.

This is certainly something to be happy about. If that were the case, they would be able to reach the bottom of the river with their feet outstretched. There would be no real danger in that.

Sure enough, I tried it the next day, and it was really like that.

Then what scruples do Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have? As long as two ropes are hung from the shore and tied around their waists, then they will dare to greet each other.

It is really a place where heroes come into play, and the "sea bumper" who gallops freely in two nautical miles, isn't it in vain to do this in a small mud pond?

Don't look at the fact that they only work for three or four hours a day, but they move quickly and have a lot of strength, and they can fill all the pickle jars in the car almost every day.

And the actual situation has increasingly proved that Hong Yanwu was not bad.

Because one is the bottom of the river, the position of those things is almost all within a reasonable parabola from the shore down.

The second is that there are many kinds of these things. Antiques only account for a part, and more are gold bars, ingots, ocean money, paper money, jade, jewelry and jewelry.

The third is that most of these things are scattered in the sludge, and there is no container to wrap them.

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that the people of those days must have been like the goddess scattering flowers, throwing these things here in a very haste.

And at the same time, this is the most regrettable and regrettable point.

Many of the fine porcelain pieces of great value were destroyed, either when thrown into the river or by something that was thrown in later. On the contrary, the gold beads in these porcelains that have been placed in them are fine and soft, and they are well preserved.

Whether in terms of cultural value or economic value, they are all putting the cart before the horse. How distressing this is.

But fortunately, the antiques are not all porcelain, bronze, iron, tin, gold and silver, jade, stone, everything, and the number is huge. Not to mention ceramics, there are also those who have survived.

Therefore, even if Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have a large car every day, they have not finished it for two months.

But one day in mid-September, they had to stop.

Because there is no one who walks by the river without getting his shoes wet. They didn't come for a day, but after all, they still attracted the attention of others.

On this day, when they came back on their tricycles, they had just parked the car when an old man came over with two aunts wearing red hoops on their arms.

The old man was probably a local resident, and as soon as he pointed to them, he said to the two old ladies, "That's them, come over every night, you can interrogate and interrogate." ”

The two old ladies followed suit.

One of them looked at the pickle jar on the car and asked, "Just the two of you?" Say, where are you? Are you from the pickle factory? If you don't make it clear today, you won't be able to leave." ”

The other also helped, "Yes, you still have to say, in such a hot weather, you are neither fishing nor fishing, you are not afraid of dirt or smell, you soak in the river every day, what are you fishing?"

At that time, this menacing appearance was stopped by Chen Liquan. Isn't this the situation that Hong Yanwu is most worried about.

It's broken!

But fortunately, Hong Yanwu has a quick brain, after all, he hasn't done it yet. It's not about catching the current situation. He hurriedly made up the words to be sloppy.

"Auntie, Auntie. We didn't do anything bad. We're here, and we're ...... It's to sell some nematodes, this is not just back to the city and haven't worked, there is no place to stay at home, idle is also idle, we found that there is this, I feel that we can sell a few dollars to reduce the burden on the family, so we did it. If you don't let us do it, we won't come......"

The 'nematode' mentioned by Hong Yanwu is called water earthworm, also known as red filaria and red nematode, which is an aquatic insect that lives in slow-flowing black sludge. This thing is the best bait and fish food, and fish farmers love to buy it. In the morning market, a cheat sheet can be sold for two cents to three cents. This is a relatively reasonable explanation.

What's more, Aunt Bian is a neighbor, Hong Yanwu also knows the psychology of the old lady in the neighborhood committee. He didn't forget to advertise himself as a young man with filial piety and who could think about his family while selling his hardships.

So when these two aspects were combined, the two aunts' faces eased, and they were immediately relieved.

One said, "Okay, you really didn't go down the slope and talk nonsense to us." I smell your sauce jars and smell muddy. If you say it's a pickle factory, I won't believe you. Well, it can be seen that he is an honest man. It's rare to know that you feel sorry for your parents......"

The other aunt then said, "Young man, this kind of difficulty is the same as that of every family, I can understand you." Originally, it was nothing to let you go into the water to catch some fish and insects. But the problem is that this is not an ordinary place, next to the Forbidden City, you know? You said that you are naked every day, and the smell of a car affects the appearance of the city. It's also dangerous, do you know how deep the mud is? Your parents want to know, can they agree with you to do this? This is a game of death, stupid or not?"

Hey, that's it, Hong Yanwu relied on his anxious wisdom to reconcile this matter again.

The rest of the story goes without saying. This kid hurriedly took Chen Liquan and nodded, thanking the two aunts for their earnest teachings, and at the same time promising not to risk his life again, so he evacuated and never came again.

As for the things that haven't been fished out of the river yet, it's a bit of a shame to think about it. But Hong Yanwu also understands the truth of "taking advantage of the cheap and dissipating the good fortune".

What's more, he is greedy, but it is precisely because he has suffered losses in this regard in his previous life. The premise of his greed in this life must be under the premise of absolute safety. He never wanted to be like Ali Baba's brother again, trapped in a robber's cave with gold and silver treasures.

So since you have already reaped most of the benefits, it is better to accept it when you see it. At home, clean up the harvest and have fun, "stuffy honey" is better than anything else.

So the things under the river have never been found since. It was not until 1989 that the river was fully dredged.

However, there was no relevant news to disclose the specific situation at that time. Although the residents of the neighborhood know some insiders, they don't know much.

Not long after the excavation of this section of the river, the public security sent people to arrest several workers from the construction site and some miscellaneous cultural relics dealers who were squatting on the sidelines, and completely blocked this section of the river.

Of course, no one can recall the two young men who caught "nematodes" here in the summer of 1981, and no one can relate them to these objects under the water.

Again, no one knew that those two young men, who were ostensibly miserable, were the biggest beneficiaries of the wealth in the river.

Because in fact, from this batch of "river fishing cultural relics", these two boys sorted out more than 58,000 yuan just Yuan Datou and all kinds of Yingyang and Yinyang.

In addition, there are more than 190 catties of gold bars and gold ingots, more than 70 pieces of gold and silverware, more than 2,600 pieces of various jewelry, 67 large and small pure gold Buddha statues and gilded Buddha statues, and more than 800 pieces of other intact antique cultural toys.

Finally, they are also used to steam in cages, squeeze the water, and press heavy objects after drying. Then I used alcohol to coat it, and I collected more than 13,000 US dollars and more than 2,000 pounds.

So the aunt finally asked the sentence "Is it stupid?" This is really a matter of the benevolent and the wise.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
