It was a piece of wood that had sunk to the bottom of the water, as thick as a man's waist, and it looked like there were "marks" of fire.

Yang Fan walked over, went to the creek, reached down, pulled the wood, and found that it was very heavy, like a big stone, and it couldn't be moved at all.

"What are you doing?" Qi Nianci asked a little strangely.

"See something interesting. Yang Fan smiled.

Everyone looked over and found that the carbonized wood at the bottom of the water didn't pay attention to it.

"That's it, wood, huh?"

"Hehe! Yang Fan moved out of the way.

Qi Nianci walked over, and when he touched it, the touch of his hand was like touching a cold stone, and he was slightly surprised. She immediately remembered a treasure, and her eyes widened.

"Gloomy wood?"

"To be precise, it should be water sinking wood. Yang Fan corrected.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying that it is gloomy wood. It's just a gloomy wood that sinks underwater all year round, and it's professionally called water sinking wood.

This kind of wood has both the quaintness of wood and the charm of stone, and is known as "Oriental Sacred Wood" and "Plant Mummy".

Earthquakes, floods, and mudslides bury all the plants and organisms on the ground in low-lying places such as ancient river beds. Some trees buried in the silt, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the state of lack of oxygen and high pressure, form ebony through a carbonization process of thousands of years, so it is also called "carbonized wood".

"Sure enough, it's it, you're in luck. Qi Nianci had to sigh.

Yang Fan shook his head: "Actually, there are treasures everywhere around us, but we don't have the vision to know them." Or, something that is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some people, but is a treasure in the eyes of others. ”

"Baby?" Zhou Wentao also came over to ask.

Not to mention those villagers, who put the work in their hands, came to watch the excitement. When they came into contact with that piece of wood, they realized that it was not as simple as wood, but as simple as stone.

"The ancients said: 'A home with half a square of ebony is better than a box of treasure'. What do you say?" Yang Fan didn't expect that the harvest would be so huge this time.

Authentic millennium high-quality water sinking wood is a very precious wood, its plasticity is strong, can be used by skilled craftsmen to carve carefully. The perfect combination of precious wood and folk handicraft skills vividly reproduces the essence of China's traditional folk art, and also makes the handmade products of water sinking wood very valuable and collectible, and the value is also expensive.

After thousands of years of natural abrasion, the water sinking wood has both the quaintness of the wood and the charm of the stone, its texture is solid and heavy, the color is black and luxurious, the section is smooth and delicate, and the wood is oily, moisture-resistant, fragrant, immortal for 10,000 years, not afraid of insects, and is natural.

"Everybody do me a favor and carry it up. Yang Fan dragged his shoes and went into the water.

"It's not wood. "It's amazing to be a villager.

Yang Fan explained: "Actually, it's wood, but the wood thousands of years ago was buried in the ground, and then it became what it is today. Carbonization is not very thorough, and if it is completely carbonized, it is coal. ”

The three villagers nodded as if they didn't understand, sounding precious.

Several people worked together, and finally got out of the water and carried it to the road.

"Damn! ”

"It's no wonder that I've been soaked in water for so long. The other replied as he understood.

Yang Fan did not correct it this time, not because of the soaking in water, but because the essence of the wood has changed, which will cause the change in quality.

"Little brother, how much is this piece of wood worth?" they were very curious.

I also admire Yang Fan's ability and can recognize what a treasure is. In their case, even if they find this piece of wood, they will not take it to heart, and they will miss it at a glance.

"Is it worth a hundred thousand?" asked the man with the bow on his back.

The last person felt that it was too exaggerated, so he said, "It's definitely not that high, it's still wood after all." ”

The wood here is very cheap, so they don't think about it at all.

"That's not all, I'll help carry it out later, I'll give you each a thousand yuan. "How much is the specific amount, Yang Fan didn't say clearly, there is no need. It can even cause unnecessary trouble.

In ancient times, dignitaries and scholars regarded the furniture and artworks carved from the wood as heirlooms, treasures of the town, and things to ward off evil spirits.

Since the dynasties, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, water sinking wood has become the first choice for emperors to build palaces and make coffins. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty even listed it as a special material for the royal family, and the people could not take it privately, resulting in more sparse water sinking wood.

Yang Fan still remembers a historical record, which is in modern times. Yuan Shikai, the thief of the Republic of China, moved against the trend of history, and the "emperor dream" did not last long before he died. But in order to show that he had been an emperor, his family took great pains to spend a lot of money to find a sinking wood and build a coffin for him. Although this is a historical joke, it also shows that the value of sinking wood is hard to find.

For such a large segment, a few million is the most conservative estimate.

In recent years, there have also been news reports that some top-quality gloomy woods have even been sold for hundreds of millions of yuan and sold directly as gems. Strictly speaking, water-sinking wood has gone beyond the scope of wood, and should be listed as a "treasure".

When the three villagers heard this, they exclaimed in their hearts: God of Wealth! A favor will cost 1,000 yuan, and they almost don't like to continue to turn, so they will immediately help carry it out, and it is more practical to earn 1,000 yuan.

"Okay, little brother, don't worry, we will definitely help you transport it out. The three villagers said happily.

These three people are really fortune boys! When they came to their village, they had already donated millions of dollars.

Finally, Yang Fan advised, I hope everyone will not be publicized. He doesn't want everyone to know about it, and it's very troublesome to alarm the government. Because of its value, this thing was once designated as a state-owned cultural relic by some departments, which made people speechless.

It is not news that the peasants dug it up, or the fishermen caught the gloomy wood, and then conquered and detained, and the state was seized.

In Yang Fan's view, this is clearly the intention of some people in the government to see the wealth and want to divide the treasures. Even in the feudal era, not all emperors stipulated that they could not be privately owned, and now they are all socialist, and it is disgusting to come back to that set.

Gloomy wood is not a mineral or energy resource, the country is not short of that money, and there is no reason to snatch those interests from the common people.

These villagers didn't know about this, and thought that Yang Fan wanted to keep a low profile, after all, Yang Fan was a low-key lord in their eyes.

"You know, it won't be publicized. ”

Together, they moved the sink to a hidden spot and moved on.

Everyone has gained something, so they are in a good mood and their steps are much easier.

At this moment, a roar came. The faces of the three villagers changed drastically, and they were a little flustered, as if they were facing a great enemy.
