Chapter 2 One Hand ()

Anqing Yangtze River Section, Anhui.

The wide river surface was undulating, and the surging river water came from the west. It turned a bend here under the influence of the mountain, rolling and turning north and south. After countless years of silt piles, it formed the current irregular sandbank that was several miles long and wide. The gradually slowing water was suddenly divided into two and then flowed into the sea again.

Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangxinzhou has been a stronghold for the Qing Gang Yangtze River, and it has been lively for a while. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in trouble and the southeast half of the war was fired. The bad luck was forced to be interrupted for many years. Jiangxinzhou was abandoned and occupied by thieves for a period of time.

After the Qing court regained control of the southeast half, Jiangxinzhou was completely abandoned. It was not until the villagers in the nearby fishing village could not stand the exploitation of harsh silk and miscellaneous taxes by the government and left their homes to flee to Jiangxinzhou that some popularity was restored.

Most of the villagers who fled to Jiangxinzhou were surnamed Wang, so Jiangxinzhou was also called "Wangcun".

The people in Shangwangjia Village, Shazhou have been reproducing here for more than three generations. Now it is the flood season that is approaching. The villagers, under the leadership of the village chief Wang Fanren, hurriedly avoided the highlands of the mountain. For them, although the flood is ruthless, it is still not as high as the many heavy taxes.

The rolling flood swept over and the sandbank turned into a swamp.

The river water carried countless miscellaneous items and pushed down the earthen houses. The villagers looked at the turbid waves of the low-lying areas with helpless faces, and their hearts were bleeding... As soon as the flood momentum had just passed, people who came down from high places were hurriedly sorting out their small homes and scolding God's injustice. The children who were barefoot were carefree, not knowing that the sufferings they suffered were playing in the mud and water, and from time to time they shouted excitedly to catch a crab, a small fish or a shrimp.

The villagers are all numb. Floods have existed since ancient times, and the people here are used to it. Every summer flood season comes, there is a scene where "I retreat when the water comes, and I return when the water comes."

Wang Erdan is the youngest son of Wang Fanren, the village chief of Wangjia Village. He is a strong and powerful young man.

When the flood receded, he hurriedly brought a group of little kids to the riverside. Every time the flood receded, there were always some unexpected gains by the riverside, such as furniture, clothes floating down from the upstream, or other useful things for rebuilding the home. You might have a big surprise when you touch it, and you will find the funds for rebuilding your home from here.

Wang Erdan was naked, his dark and shiny muscles flashed brightly in the sun. He had a small homemade bamboo basket on his waist, and walked horizontally on the river beach, holding his fists from time to time, showing off his might and showing his power in the bamboo basket. While holding his mouth, he kept muttering: "Look at you, you still dare to walk horizontally!"

I was really angry. The family suffered a lot this time... "Brother Erdan, come, come, there are good things over there." At this time, a child suddenly shouted not far away.

Wang Erdan raised her eyebrows, feeling a little impatient, Cao, do you know what good things are?

It was not easy to damage the enthusiasm of the younger brothers. He followed these children to the riverside. He looked in the direction of the children's fingers and was really surprised. Good guy, a good mahogany chair, half buried in the sand!

I was ecstatic and my muscles twitched. This time I was really big. If the chair was intact, the family's losses this time could be said to be insignificant and could be retrieved from this chair.

"Brother Erdan, come and help, we can't move this chair!"

Wang Erdan was a little anxious and hurriedly drove away the little kids around the chair. Long Xinghubu walked over with great enthusiasm and pulled them hard, but it was embarrassing that it did not pull, which attracted a burst of laughter from the children around him.

His face turned red and was ashamed. He was so cruel that he really didn't believe it. He couldn't stop playing with a chair. He shook his joints and spat hard on the palm of his hand. He roared, but his face turned red but had no effect.

Wang Erdan felt so depressed. In the village, he was able to carry the load with his hands, but when faced with such a stern chair half buried in the beach, he couldn't pull it out at all. He was almost so angry that he vomited blood. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he could not pull out his face.

He was really angry and embarrassed. His mood miraculously calmed down. He felt something was wrong. He shook the backrest of the chair hard, but it still didn't move at all. Now his heart started to move. Is there something underneath that tripped the chair?

"You all come here and spread the sand and soil."

The children from Guangdi nearby ran over cheered and carefully surrounded the mahogany chair and pulled the sludge that smelled strange.

No one would be a fool, and the same is true for these little kids. Who knows what is the matter under the sticky gray and black mud? What should I do if there are broken porcelain pieces?

After working for a long time, the gray and black mud was dug out less than a foot, and Wang Erdan felt a little restless.

When will this be dug?

"You go home and get a small iron." There is no way, this is a lot of money. Rebuilding the home can help a lot. If you can't let others react, you have to use the help of tools. After shook the sticky sludge on your hands, he felt helpless.

After a while, the little brother who was sent back to get the guy ran over cryingly, his face filled with snot and tears, and the five red handprints on his face were particularly conspicuous.

"Damn it, your bastard, I'll beat you again?" After taking the little Tie Teng, Wang Erdan was extremely annoyed and patted his little brother's thin shoulders: "It's okay, when you go back, you will go to my house to get a piece of meat and two eggs. Remember to tell you that bastard, this is for you and your mother to replenish your body, tell him not to touch it, otherwise I won't spare him!"

With the envious and jealous eyes of the friends, the beaten child burst into tears and laughed. He randomly rubbed the hot parts on his face, and then followed Wang Erdan with excitement and started working hard.

With the little iron till, it was different. Soon the sludge around the mahogany Taishi Chair was cleaned up. Looking at the still complete Taishi Chair, Wang Erdan was happy and thought that this Taishi Chair would be worth at least ten Guangyangs. With this money, the family's losses from floods could be ignored.

Hey, there is something down there!

Xiao Tieba encountered the obstacle, and he quickly stopped, his face full of shock and doubt.

"You guys, please open up here and be careful!"

The children were not afraid, so they squatted there, either with their hands or with their branches.
