The family was whispering to discuss how to deal with the money and jewelry in the future while closing the door, Pan Wenhua knocked on the door. He moved quickly. After Long Jianhua returned home, he rode his bicycle to the convoy and drove back.

Grandma and mother quickly put away the money and jewelry, while Long Jianhua searched for baskets and empty buckets, and was in a hurry.

Seeing Long Jianhua opening the door with three empty baskets, Pan Wenhua laughed and said, "So many?"

Long Jianhua remembered the small fish, snails and shrimps in the river when he pulled the isatis roots, and smiled, "There are two baskets, a bucket and a basket. Do you have a basket at home?"

Pan Wenhua nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Then I will get two more baskets."

After Long Jianhua threw all the houses into the car, Pan Wenhua and Wenjun took the basket, bucket and bamboo slip before leaving.

Wenjun took the house to the car and stopped getting out. She sat in the car and couldn't get out. Pan Wenhua scolded, "You won't go to work in the afternoon?"

Wen Jun laughed and said, "The temporary worker doesn't have much money, it's boring. I won't go anymore, go play with you."

He was lucky. After graduating from junior high school, others went to the countryside. His father happened to hire temporary workers in the office, but he went there and didn't go to high school.

After arriving at the destination, Long Jianhua checked the situation of Liuyanghe. Now it is dry season, the water depth is not higher than the knee, but he still explains safety matters to the two brothers.

The three of them had only two scattered baskets, Long Jianhua took one and Pan Wenhua took one.

After going downstream from the backwater bend, Long Jianhua put the sachet into the bottom of the water, and then slowly went up the grass to the top. More than twenty river shrimps appeared in the sachet, the longest one was no less than five inches.

After seeing him operate it once, Pan Wenhua quickly walked to the opposite side of the river with a basket, picked up a basket under a cluster of grass and laughed, "Jianhua, how could there be so many shrimps?"

At this time, there were a lot of fish and shrimps in the big and small rivers, and there were more snails; the reason was that the countryside was full of frogs, eels and loaches, without oil and water, and without time; so few people would think of these things, and fish was fishing too much.

People by the river want to eat, so they stop after taking a meal or two; if they want to buy some, they can only sneakily, and not many people buy it.

Wen Jun picked up snails, and the snails at the bottom of the river were densely packed. He bent over and threw them into the basket while picking them up, shouting non-stop.

When Long Jianhua dragged the shrimps ashore for the first time, Wen Jun had already picked up a basket of snails for a while. Seeing his brother sticking out his butt, he shouted, "Brother, Brother Jianhua has already caught a basket of snails. You are too slow, let me do it!"

Pan Wenhua poured the shrimps from the basket into the basket, unbuttoned his top pocket, took out his watch and looked at it, "It's less than fifty minutes, I'll wait until I fill this basket before changing."

Long Jianhua took the second basket and went down the river, and continued to fish upstream. The speed was very fast and the movements were very standardized.

After walking forward for about four hundred meters, he filled a basket again.

Simple and repetitive labor is very enjoyable for Long Jianhua today, because every basket of shrimp will come up. For every extra shrimp, there will be a little more protein at home; now there is time, but what is missing is protein.

Time is not worth the money, but protein is hard to buy.

Halfway through the third basket, Long Jianhua arrived downstream of the return water bend. The water here suddenly became deeper and mud appeared deeper and deeper at the bottom of the water. He walked forward tentatively, grabbed a basket, and found that more shrimps were fishing out than before.

Continue to fish forward. When the water reaches half of the thigh and half of the mud reaches half of the calves, he picks up a basket of shrimps and says to himself, "I'll catch three baskets and pick up snails."

After putting the shrimp into the basket, he returned to his original position. When he took a step forward, he was surprised to find that he was actually stepping on the ground, flat; then he stepped forward with his left foot, and suddenly stepped into the mud, which reached his knees and the water spread to the base of his thighs.

He was shocked and quickly withdrew his left foot and stepped on the "stone".

Soon, he found that something was wrong. He was not a stone under his feet, but something else. When he was testing this "flat ground", he found that the area was not large, the square and four straight ones were not high, like square wooden piers or boxes.

"What the hell is it?"

Be careful to retreat downstream and slowly grab the things. It is a small box made of agarwood, because you can also see the mud that is rusty and only a small loose leaf is left.

The box is not big, about one foot or five in width, about two feet long, and one foot or five in height; the box is very heavy, no less than fifty kilograms.

Long Jianhua's heart was thumping, "Get rich?"

Even if there is nothing inside, fifty kilograms of agarwood will be worth the money in the future.

Quickly wash the mud on the surface, the more you wash the fragrance, the more intense it becomes.

After washing half of the above, he found that the seam of the lid of the box was sealed with wax.

"It was well prepared. When this was the time for the escape, I couldn't run, so I just threw it away... Maybe someone was afraid and buried here at night... No matter what the situation is, I'm sorry, it's mine from now on."

He slowly washed the box sideways and felt something sliding inside.

After washing, carefully put it in the basket and cover the box with shrimps; when pulling the shrimps to both sides, many shrimps jumped into the river again. Long Jianhua laughed and said, "It was this box that saved your life."

When Long Jianhua carried the basket next to the car, Pan Wenhua and his brothers were lying in the grass and basking in the sun.

"Jianhua, it's too long to soak in the water. It's too cold. Take a break and fill up the remaining two baskets."

Long Jianhua laughed and said, "You have filled four baskets? Awesome! I just need to pick up a bucket of snails to complete the task."

"Brother Jianhua, it's easy to talk about shrimp. How should I eat so many snails?"

"You can eat it dry or stir-fry it. You can't cook it, but my aunt can cook it; but when I go home and study, I will tell you a new meal."

There were too many snails at this time. Long Jianhua quickly picked up a large bucket and put them on the car. After seeing Pan Wenhua and the others still catching shrimps and picking up snails, he continued to go down the river, picked up the scattered baskets, and helped them pick up the baskets.

When he got home to unload the goods, Wenjun tried his best to hand the big bucket to Long Jianhua, then picked up the basket containing a wooden box and smiled, "Brother Jianhua, have you picked up a few stones inside, so heavy?"

Long Jianhua laughed and said, "If there are stones, they will be very valuable stones."

After grandparents carried two baskets of shrimps in, they came to carry this one again. Grandma tried it and said, "It's all shrimps, why are they so heavy?"

Long Jianhua was picking up the bucket and hurriedly said, "This is only a little heavy, I'll come later."

It takes a lot of finger strength to grab the basket and lift it up if it is less than eighty kilograms.

Wen Jun shouted, "Brother Jianhua, there are only half of the snails in the sap. I will sweep them to you later."
