Chapter 97: Good Intentions Are Rewarded! Water and Boats!

"Eldest sister and second sister, come out quickly, I'll come back with delicious food. Li Tiedan walked quickly into his yard with the pot and shouted.

"Huh...... what's so fragrant?" asked Li Daniu as she walked out with a sniff.

"It's the smell of instant noodles, and I smelled it at my classmate's house. Li Erniu immediately ran over from the back of the yard and said.

"Third brother, where did you get instant noodles?" asked Li Daniu as he took the iron pot held by Li Tiedan.

"It was given by a few kind people from the city, and they not only gave me uncooked noodles, but also gave me a lot of other snacks!" Li Tiedan said while rubbing his sour arm with the iron pot and holding up the plastic bag hanging on his arm to show his sisters.

"Look at you, let's go into the house and rest for a while! This iron pot has at least five or six catties of soup in it, how heavy it is for you to come back so far away." Li Daniu said distressedly, but Li Erniu only stared at the plastic bag full of snacks with bright eyes at this time.

"Eldest sister and second sister, leave me alone, hurry up and eat the noodles while they are hot. Instant noodles don't taste good for a long time!" Li Tiedan hurriedly urged them.

"Hmm...... I'm going to get the bowl. Li Erniu immediately happily ran to the kitchen and tiptoed to get the dishes and chopsticks.

"Second sister, it's enough for you to take two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, I've already eaten them. Li Tiedan looked at the three bowls that her second sister brought over and said.

"Great! I thought there were a few noodles in the pot. Li Erniu said happily.

"Erniu, you are eight and a half years old, almost nine years old, why are you still so greedy!" Li Dayu pointed her sister's forehead with her finger and said.

"Sister, you say I'm greedy again...... If you say you're not hungry, don't eat it? Li Erniu rolled her eyes and said.

"Hmph! You think beautifully. Li Daniu said.

As the eldest sister, although Li Daniu didn't let her sister go, she still gave Li Erniu a small bowl full of noodles when she used chopsticks to scoop noodles, while Li Daniu herself only had half a bowl left.

"Hmm...... Delicious...... Instant noodles are so delicious!" Li Erniu said without raising her head when she ate.

The family has three children, and they usually have to borrow money for school and food, and they can't afford snacks and instant noodles. That's why Li Erniu is so greedy.

"Eldest sister, can you eat so much?" Li Tiedan looked at Li Daniu's bowl and asked.

"Hmm...... It's okay eldest sister, this soup is also very delicious, I'll just make a steamed bun with it later. Li Daniu said, and then she ate the noodles in two bites, and then took out a dry bun from the cupboard, tore it open, and ate it with instant noodle soup.

"Eldest sister, I want steamed buns too!" Li Erniu drank several mouthfuls of soup after eating the noodles, and then asked Li Daniu for steamed buns.

"Here you go!" Li Daniu handed her half of the steamed bun, and Li Erniu happily put the steamed bun whole into the bowl.

"Don't get too much soup, salty!" Li Daniu reminded.

"Got it!" Li Erniu replied without raising her head.

"Mom, I want to drink water!" Li Erniu said as she walked into the room.

"Why do you want to drink water again? I drank water twice after noon today. Tie Dan's mother looked at Li Erniu and asked.

"Don't give it to the third daughter-in-law, if you drink too much water, you'll pee! Grandma Li Tiedan sat on the side and spoke.

"Got it, Mom!" said Tiedan's mother with a nod.

"What are you doing standing at the door, big girl? Grandma Li looked at her granddaughter standing at the door and asked.

"It's okay! I'm just passing by. Li Daniu licked her chapped lips and said that she wanted to come and drink saliva after eating salty at noon today.

But when she saw her grandmother talking about the second girl, she didn't dare to say it now!

"Girl, are you thirsty too, look at you...... My lips were parched and cracked. Tiedan's mother looked at her eldest daughter distressedly and said.

"I'm fine...... Just bear with it. Li Daniu shook her head and said.

"What to endure! As if I am unreasonable, I am not a landlord in the old society! You are my own granddaughter, and I will not even give you saliva to drink. Grandma Li Tiedan said as she took out the key from her waistband and opened the cabinet and took out a hot water kettle from it.

"Great, I have water to drink!" Li Erniu said happily.

"Stop shouting, call everyone else in! Grandma Li said to her granddaughters fiercely, and Li Erniu immediately covered her mouth and nodded.

"Drain!" a small stream of water slowly flowed down and finally flowed into a small wine cup.

"It's full. Grandma Li glanced at the cup and immediately took the kettle back and covered it.

"Grandma, why is mine less than my sister?" Li Erniu asked unhappily.

"You've drunk water twice, don't drink it again today! Grandma Li said that this kind of small wine cup can only hold about one or two pieces of water, and Li Erniu only got half a wine cup and less than a small sip.

"It's delicious!" Li Daniu first moistened her chapped lips with water, and then swallowed slowly with a mouthful of water.

"Did you steal something to eat today, or why would you be so thirsty?" Grandma Li asked suddenly.

"I didn't ...... We didn't steal. Li Dayu immediately shook her head and said.

"The thing was given by someone from the city, so we didn't steal it!" Li Erniu immediately shouted to defend herself.

"Did you really eat?" asked Tie Dan Ma in surprise.

"No need to ask, the second girl's collar is sprayed with oil stars, what are you eating? It's so salty?" Grandma Li asked suddenly.

"Instant noodles!" Li Daniu said embarrassedly, bowing her head.

"Where did you get instant noodles?" asked Tiedan's mother.

"Kind-hearted city people give it to my younger brother. Erniu said.

"What kind city people, are there outsiders in our village?" asked Grandma Li.

"That's right, right next to the Luo River, Tie Dan said that those outsiders were dressed in style, driving big trucks, wearing sunglasses, and wearing the same clothes as the spies in the movie...... They still have something in their hands. Li Erniu danced to her grandmother and mother to describe the appearance of the "kind-hearted city people" that Li Tiedan told her.

"Wearing sunglasses and dressing like a spy?" this ......" Tie Dan Ma immediately stood up in fright when she heard this.

"Daughter-in-law, don't panic first, wait for me to ask!" Grandma Li also said with a calm face.

"Erniu, what did you just say?" asked Grandma Li.

"I don't know, he said it's the kind of ticking thing that the little devil took in the movie. Li Erniu imitated Li Tiedan's movement of shaking his arms from side to side when he said this.

"The second girl didn't see it with her own eyes...... We can't ask anything? Third daughter-in-law, go and call Tie Dan over and ask. Grandma Li said solemnly.

"Grandma...... Tie Dan is not at home, I remember Tie Dan said that it was like a little devil in the movie to probe for mines. Li Daniu said that she is ten years old and speaks a little more clearly than the two younger siblings below.

"The matter is serious! The third daughter-in-law went to call back the old and young masters who were in charge of the family, and then went to the village department to call the village chief and secretary, so we have to discuss it carefully. Grandma Li said.

"I'll go. Tie Dan Ma said immediately.

"By the way, where did the iron egg go?" Grandma Li asked suddenly.

"Tie Dan went to the river to see the excitement......" Li Dayu said.

****

"Here...... There must be something here! I picked up two catties of scrap metal here last time, and the dog next door also picked up a copper basin here. He sold it for three yuan!" Li Tiedan pulled Jia Lei to trot all the way to his own secret base and said.

"Really?" asked Jia Lei.

This kid has been watching them for a long time, and as soon as he heard that Jia Lei was going to come here to find metal objects, he immediately pulled Jia Lei here.

"Of course, I, Li Tiedan, never lie! If you hadn't given me so much delicious food, I wouldn't have brought you here. Li Tiedan said.

"Then I'll try!" Jia Lei finished speaking, squatting on the ground and carefully scanning the ground with a metal detector according to the position that Tie Dan said.

"Tiedan, do the people in your village often pick up things in the riverbed?" Jia Lei asked as he worked.

"Before, it didn't, it was only after the river was completely dried up in the past two months, and scrap iron and copper could be sold for money! Li Tiedan said.

"Oh, what have you all picked up, and are there anything particularly valuable?" Jia Lei asked again.

"Yes, Uncle Li, a person from the village, picked up a gold ring in the riverbed a few days ago, and Uncle Zheng from the next village heard that he had also picked up several silver ingots, as well as Zhang Sanye from Zhangjia Village...... "Li Tiedan came from the side and began to tell Jia Lei what treasures the nearby villagers had picked up in the riverbed, and Ah Fei and they couldn't help but come over when they heard this.

"Looks like there's a lot of treasure in this riverbed!" said the little Jew.

"Of course, there are so many rivers in the city, why do I have to choose this river? This is Luoshui, Wu Zetian was always near here during the Tang Dynasty, and the boats on Luoshui from Chang'an to and from Luoshui were full of dignitaries from the Tang Dynasty, even if they just found any thing they dropped, we will send it!" Jia Lei said proudly.

"yes! I didn't think of that. The drunkard patted his head and said.

"Didi!" At this time, the metal detector in the hand of Dasha, who had been working next to him and did not interject, suddenly made a particularly piercing sound.

"Damn! This broken machine has never been so loud before! There must be something down there......" Ah Fei said, covering his ears.

"Then what are you waiting for, dig!" Jia Lei said happily.

"I'm here to help, too. Li Tiedan said with a piece of broken iron.

"You don't have to do this job! you just need to take us to a few more places where you have picked up treasures!" Jia Lei immediately said earnestly.

"But those places have been dug up, where is there anything?" asked Li Tiedan, who didn't understand.

"It's okay! It's better to be dug up than to be so aimlessly searching, haven't you all dug up here? We haven't found anything yet, you can see with your eyes that there will definitely be a leak, we can find things within a radius of more than ten meters with this machine. You can even find something hidden several meters deep underground!" Jia Lei shook the metal detector in his hand and said.

"Then I'll help you, will you still give me something?" asked Li Tiedan.

"Okay, as long as you can find something good, you can do whatever you want. Jia Lei hurriedly promised.

"How many more bottles can I give me this kind of bottle full of water?" Li Tiedan shook the mineral water bottle in his hand and asked, this was given to him by Jia Lei when he first came.

"If you take me to find the baby, let alone a bottle of water! I'll just give you a cart of mineral water, brother, I have a factory that produces mineral water." Jia Lei patted his chest and assured that although the current transportation is not developed, mineral water can only be sold near the capital.

But after all, he really has a mineral water factory, isn't it!

"A cart of mineral water! Then my family can drink water every day, great. Li Tiedan said happily.

****

Jia Lei: Since they saw Li Tiedan, they finally stopped spinning around like headless flies.

After careful measurement by two metal detectors, Jia Lei and the others finally identified two locations where the metal locations were relatively concentrated and started to excavate separately.

"Yo, there's even a silver wine glass...... Looks like we've finally found the baby this time. Ah Fei took the silver wine glass that he had finally dug up and said that he was the first person among Jia Lei and the others to dig up something valuable.

"Why did everyone else dig it? I haven't found anything! It's the loudest sound here!" Jia Lei continued to squat in the half-meter-deep pit to dig the soil angrily, and then "bang" the shovel encountered something.

"What is this?" Jia Lei hurriedly dug up the soil on it, and ten minutes later he dug out a long boat plank.

"I'm dead, I've been digging for so long, and I haven't even had a nail!" Jia Lei said angrily, kicking the sand under his feet.

"Jia Lei's ship in the Tang Dynasty was originally without nails!" the drunkard Bai reminded him in a low voice.

"Bones!" a silver object flew out of the sand and into the nearby bunker.

"Huh, what is this?" Jia Lei walked over curiously, picked up something and said.

"Whoa, whoa!" the colored ball rolled in his palm, making a sound.

"Grandpa Bai, come and take a look!" Jia Lei hurriedly shouted.

"This is the scented ball! Ancient people used to hang in the house to smoke mosquitoes, this style of incense ball is generally used to make a curtain pendant corner, it seems that we have finally found the right place! There are also wooden planks here, it is very likely that there is a shipwreck here, if we really find a shipwreck, we will send it." The drunkard Bai said excitedly,

"Why?" asked the little Jew.

"Because there are not only gold, silver, and jewelry, but also porcelain! Judging by the workmanship of this incense ball, this ship must be a noble ship, and the material of this bed board is also the best! The drunkard Bai excitedly touched the wooden board dug out by Jia Lei and said.

"What are we waiting for, let's dig!" Ah Fei said as he walked over and the others immediately leaned over.

****

As they kept digging, wooden planks began to appear underneath, and Jia Lei and the others lifted the planks one by one, and successively picked up many small pieces of gold jewelry and other gold and silver utensils buried in the sand.

Because they all dug in the place where the metal detector sounded, they were able to find these things smoothly, but visually the boat was very large, and Jia Lei and they only dug a pit three or four meters large after digging for so long, and the depth of the pit was only more than one meter.

"Oh my God, how big is this boat!" Jia Lei asked as he dug and collapsed.

"I don't know, but I want to get as big as possible! The drunkard Bai said excitedly. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
