(I have a lot of manuscripts. I'll start at the second watch.)
In his previous life, Qin Shi was more of a collector than an antique dealer after he turned 30. This made him reluctant to sell most of the antiques he had picked up.
Only gold was still okay. Compared to decades later, the price-performance ratio was very high. He could sell it, such as those few gold bars. But even so, he still insisted on keeping two.
He would not sell a single one of the gold coins-that was not gold, but a national treasure!
In his hurry to get a large sum of cash, Qin Shi's mind, together with the " password book," rummaged through it, trying to think of a place where he could find gold, and Zhang Nan was willing to sell a portion of it.
On a mountain in Hanzhong.
However, it wasn't like the base of the Yanjiao Temple on Wutai Mountain, where the exact location could be determined. He could only confirm that the treasure on the mountain was under or near an abandoned building.
He had to find it slowly.
He couldn't drive an excavator to dig everywhere, so he had to have a metal detector. He also needed a car. It was very inconvenient to not have a car there.
Now that they had the detector and the car, they could probably solve the problem. They also needed manpower. It was difficult for one person to do it, and it was not safe.
Brother Han probably didn't have the time, so he could only rely on Long Zhixi.
"Brother Long, come with me and ask my Brother Han if he has time. If you find it, the three of us will split it equally. If you can't find it, then forget it. I'll take care of food and accommodation.”
"We're the buddies, and you and the class monitor are the bosses.”
"Brother Long, don't regret it when the time comes.”
"I can't be bothered to talk to you. Actually, it doesn't matter if I give it or not. Without the class monitor, I would have long been reduced to bones.”
As she spoke, she stood there in a daze.
" When the time comes, don't be tempted by money…" Before she could finish, she said," Ahhh! Let go, let go! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
The pitiful Long Zhixi who was holding her by the neck rolled his eyes!
When the driver heard the commotion behind him, he turned his head to look at the situation and pursed his lips, ignoring it.
They laughed and laughed, and the carriage finally arrived at the airport before dark.
The carriage didn't go to the departure hall. Instead, it stopped at a gate with soldiers standing guard.
Brother Long went to negotiate alone. After a while, a jeep drove out from the airport. Other than the driver, there was also a man in his forties dressed like a military officer.
He was wearing an 85-style air force uniform that he had just changed into. There was no military rank logo, so he could not tell his rank.
Brother Long first went forward and chatted with the other party for a while before introducing them.
"Xiao Qin, this is Director Jiang."
"This is my cousin, Qin Shi, from the Capital City Material Bureau.”
"Hello, Comrade Qin Shi. Welcome to our place. Zhi Xi was an old friend! His brother is my brother! Come to our place and consider yourself at home!”
This person was very enthusiastic, which was probably what soldiers were like.
"Hello, Director Jiang. Sorry to trouble you this time.”He quickly reached out to shake hands.
"There will be a flight to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll get someone to arrange it later. Stay here for now, then eat!"
When they arrived, they saw another crude gas station. It was rustic, but it was the same all over the country.
After parking the car in front of a gas dispenser, a staff member walked over.
There was only 70#gasoline. There was no 90#gasoline for the car. However, BJ212 was not picky. Number 70 was fine.
It was a Beijing license plate. Seeing that Qin Shi was holding out a military gas ticket, the staff called the station chief over.
"20 liters of gas ticket, how much do you think you can add?”
Wait for the right price.
"Full!"
This person was quite satisfied. This was almost three times!
In less than half an hour, Qin Shi arrived at Huai Village according to the map. This area was flat terrain, and the tractor roads in the countryside were quite accessible, so there was no problem for jeeps to pass through.
There weren't many people in the fields in winter. The jeep swayed along the narrow tractor road to the Huai River.
He found a place with a sunken terrain and parked the car so that no one would run over to take a look. There weren't many jeeps in the county these days. When one saw a jeep, it was easy to mistake it for a leader who had come to inspect.
When he got out of the car, he saw that the river bank was very wide and there was not much water. This section of the river didn't have a dike at all. It was just that the natural river bank was a bit higher, and it was quite slow.
This jeep could even drive directly to the river bank to cause trouble.
Winter was desolate!
Why did Qin Shi come to this place? Are you full?
Of course not.
On the morning of the drunk day, Zhang Nan had nothing to do. When he was reading the messy antique news on his phone, he saw this: "A large number of silver coins appeared on the Huai River in Huai Village, XX County, Lu Province.”
Some people dug out five to six or ten of them, and some dug out dozens of them in half a day. It was said that someone even brought a metal detector and dug out hundreds of them!
There were also reporters who went to interview them. Regarding the origin of this batch of silver coins, the most reliable conclusion was: Perhaps an old rich man had buried a vat of silver coins nearby. As a result, the water rushed into the vat and broke it. It spread out along the river bank on this side of Shihuai Village for hundreds of meters.
After waking up, Qin Shi had traveled back thirty or forty years. Because of the short amount of time he had spent there, he had a deep impression of the situation. Although he did not expect to join in the fun one day, he immediately took out a pen and jotted it down.
As the two of them stood on the riverbank, Qin Shi checked the gravel beneath his feet.
There were fewer stones and more sand. If it was near a big city, he could make a fortune selling yellow sand.
"Where do we start?"
Brother Long took out the metal detector and asked.
There was no one around, And there were fish in the river. In this winter, only Zhang Nan and the other two would come here to drink the northwest wind. At this moment, not to mention people, there was not even a bird in the sky. They were all nestled in the forest.
He pointed forward and said,"Start from the place opposite that big tree."”
A large locust tree stood out by the river bank. Qin Shi remembered from the news that there was a large locust tree not far away from the group of treasure hunters. Now that he had gone to the riverbank to take a closer look, he realized that there was only one such tree nearby. It was easy to recognize.
Carrying the metal detector, he personally said, Using his memory, he wore his headphones and searched the rough location where the villagers had " once " dug crazily for treasures, just like a landmine hunter.
There was almost no response from the detector. Even though there were a few slight beeping sounds, it did not stop. It was a small iron item like a nail. Silver did not make this sound at all.
He had already buried the silver coins and gold bars in his own flower bed and experimented with them, so he knew what to do.
After half an hour, even Brother Long, who was carrying an engineer shovel, looked bored.
"There's nothing here."
Qin Shi said as he looked at the riverbank a few meters away.
He thought for a moment." Could it be that the legendary vat hasn't broken through?”
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. There was a time difference of almost 40 years, and there was no solid dam blocking the river bank. The river bank where the two of them were now could have been a field or a house decades ago.
He put down the detector and handed it to Brother Long." Try it. Go along the river bank and explore another 50 meters upstream."”
After a while, there was still nothing.
The riverbank was about two meters high, and the big locust tree was already on the riverbank, with a small number of roots exposed on the slope.
"If that big vat is still there, it's very likely that it's buried in the soil above the river ridge, and it's not too far from the river bank. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been washed out by the flood!”
He felt a little confident.
This detector was known to have a range of three meters. Once he mounted the detector again, he simply used the big locust tree as a benchmark. Starting from about 10 meters downstream, he used the probe plate to touch the sand ridge horizontally.
However, after walking for more than ten meters, a strong beeping sound rang in his ears!
The sound was a little ear-piercing!
His spirit shook! However, he was not in a hurry. He probed a few meters forward. He climbed up the bank of the river and saw a row of trees not far away. They were probably used to prevent soil erosion.
There wasn't even a bird nearby!
He then used the detector to scan the area from top to bottom for a while before climbing down the river.
"There's a way. Brother Long, it's here!"
He pointed at the river bank in front of him.
"At this position, it's at most 50 centimeters deep. The earphones are ringing non-stop!”
Brother Long's emotionless eyes seemed to light up." Then put down the things first and take the weapons!”
The two of them returned to the jeep 20 meters away, placed the detector in the car, took out the hoe, and Brother Long took out a cloth bag.
He looked at it." It's not enough. Take a gunny sack."
Using his old skills as a Scout, Brother Long used his binoculars to make sure that there was no one nearby. He waved his hoe and started digging at the slope of the river that had been eroded by the river!
With just a few hits, there was a bang. It seemed that something had been chiseled by the hoe!
As he exerted his strength, a large piece of soil was dug down. As a result, a large pile of white silver coins rolled down from the soil that was more than a meter high!
"Brother Long, I've dug it out!"
Turning around, Brother Long had also heard the strange sound and ran over from the 'observation post' at the side.
"There really is!"
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a large jar, but a rather large jar. The jar's wall had been smashed, and as a result, a lot of silver coins rolled out.
The person who buried the jar might have used the big locust tree as a marker. The jar was only three to four meters away. In the end, there might have been an accident, so the jar was left here.
In addition to the erosion of the river over the years, the slope of the river bank was getting closer and closer to the jar. At this moment, it was only 20 to 30 centimeters away.
Perhaps in the next flood, this jar would be broken by the river bank, and the silver coins would be scattered on the river bank and buried by the sand.
Stop talking nonsense, get to work!
He first picked up the silver coins that had fallen and put them into a gunny sack. After a few more hoes and axes, more than half of the jar fell down.
Although a sack could hold it, it was obviously too heavy.
Brother Long went to get a few more cloth bags and packed them into four portions.
He moved them all into the jeep and took out the detector to test them again. There was nothing left, and there was no second jar.
The broken jar was thrown into the river not far away, and it was clean.
Move everything back to the jeep and drive away immediately!
After they passed the village and got onto the highway, Zhang Nan smiled at Guan Xingquan and said,"Brother Long, how many pounds is it?”
He was the one who moved it just now.
"At least 178!"
"Haha, we're rich again!”
"Qin Shi, I'm starting to wonder if you're the reincarnation of the Lucky Boy.”Brother Long smiled.
