The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 60 - 59 This seems to be something from the Song Dynasty

Who could have thought that there would be a snake inside this bag?

Fang Hao staggered a few steps back and sat down on the ground.

The snake that suddenly sprang out didn't manage to attack him; he had dodged it in time.

Luckily, his reflexes were quick when he opened the bag.

Otherwise, he might really have been bitten by the snake.

"Damn, that scared me to death."

"What the hell is this?"

"Why is there a snake in the bag? Damn, if I ever fish out a bag like this again, I'll be too scared to open it."

The viewers in the live stream room were all startled one by one.

The suddenly emerging snake had scared them too.

It wasn't until a while later that everyone could see clearly what kind of snake it was.

Another water snake.

"Another water snake?"

"Could it be that stupid snake we released earlier?"

"Even if it's not, it's definitely related to the water snake we just released; it could be from the same snake family."

After finally getting a clear view, everyone started guessing what the relationship between this snake and the one they had released earlier was.

"If they're not from the same household, they don't enter the same gate."

"Such a stupid snake."

Both water snakes were caught by Fang Hao, but one bit the hook, and the other was in the bag.

Fang Hao used a stick to flick the snake away, preparing to throw it back into the river.

But he didn't pay attention to the angle, and the snake hit the trunk of a tree by the river bank with a thud before finally falling back into the water.

"Uh..."

Brother snake, I'm not saying it was on purpose, but do you believe me?

Fang Hao's careless action had almost made the audience in the live stream burst into laughter.

"Haha, the host did that on purpose just now, right? I'm dying of laughter."

"The snake must be dumbfounded. If you're going to release me, there's no need to make me hit a tree, right?"

"Snake: ???"

"Snake: You're making it very difficult for me with actions like that."

"I really didn't do it on purpose."

Fang Hao awkwardly explained.

Really, who could know what kind of dumb luck I've stumbled upon tonight.

Everything I've caught in a row is related to snakes.

I'm not usually this unlucky.

To alleviate the awkward atmosphere, he turned his attention back to the bag.

He would still continue to open the bag to see.

Maybe there was something good inside.

But this time, Fang Hao was even more cautious.

He was afraid that there wasn't just one snake inside, maybe it was a snake's nest?

It was all quite possible.

Fang Hao used the stick he had in his hand to slowly pry open the mouth of the bag.

Fortunately, this time no more snakes sprang out.

There were no other signs of snakes inside the bag.

It seemed that the water snake might have temporarily used the bag as a dwelling, which is why it was in there.

With the bag open, he could see what was inside.

There was quite a bit of silt in the bag.

No wonder it felt heavy when he pulled it up.

Apart from that, there were some pebbles, a few dry tree branches, and shattered pieces of pottery.

It was hard to tell how long these things had been sitting underwater.

Fang Hao pulled out the contents,

And as he cleared out the silt, he discovered something else buried in it.

Wait, it looked like a string of copper coins?

Even though they were covered by the mud and only a part was showing, Fang Hao still recognized them.

Following Fang Hao's gaze, the audience also spotted these items.

"Huh? Copper coins?"

"This seems like it could be an antique."

The attention of the crowd was also drawn.

Because the item was still covered in a lot of mud, it wasn't clear what it actually was.

Fang Hao first picked out the string of stuff from the mud, and then checked to see if there were other things in the mud.

Having looked around, except for this string of copper coins, there seemed to be nothing else.

For now, the bag contained only mud, stones, some shards of porcelain, and this string of copper coins.

What a pity for these shards of porcelain—if they hadn't been broken, this might have been an antique.

Fang Hao didn't study these things and wasn't clear which dynasty they were from.

As for the copper coins.

Fang Hao poured some water and washed off the mud on top.

When all the mud was cleaned off, he saw several characters engraved on it, "Jianyan Treasure Coin."

What was this?

Jianyan?

Which dynasty is it from?

It sounded unfamiliar, he hadn't heard of it.

Fang Hao didn't know; he had no knowledge of these things.

All of this was baffling to him.

He had never dealt with antiques before and didn't understand them.

But it didn't matter that he was clueless, for the people in the livestream provided the answers for Fang Hao.

In the livestream with over two million views, there were some who knew.

There were indeed many knowledgeable people in the livestream.

"Jianyan Treasure Coin? That's from the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty; Jianyan was his era name."

"Too bad, these are just regular small flat coins, they were minted in large quantities during that period and aren't worth much, probably about fifty yuan each."

"If it had 'Back River' marking, it would be worth some money."

"If it's a 'Folded Three Point Jian' one, it would be worth even more."

Unexpectedly, the viewers in the livestream were quite knowledgeable.

This viewer seemed to have studied the history of the Song Dynasty and knew what these were.

"And if it's a 'Jianyan Treasure,' those are rarer and much more valuable, with a higher quality of minting."

"Of course, the rarest of all is the 'Jianyan Treasure Coin,' that's a real treasure, almost reaching a state of extreme rarity, acclaimed as one of the 'Hundred Treasures of Ancient Huaxia Coins.'

"Holy shit, this is a real big shot."

Some people, having heard this, expressed their admiration.

This level of knowledge was not something an ordinary person could match.

If one hadn't delved into it, how could an ordinary person understand this much, even distinguishing so many types within a single copper coin.

"Big shot, are you a collector of some kind?" someone asked.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

"Ahem, I've dabbled a bit," humbly replied the viewer with the ID 'Sleeve Arrow.'

"Kudos to the big shot."

"You're not a tomb raider, are you?"

"No, that's not it."

"Host, can you bring those porcelain shards closer for me to see?" 'Sleeve Arrow' was most curious about the already broken shards.

He thought that those items were more valuable.

Even though they were broken and useless now... they were remnants from the past.

They had a certain reference value.

Following such an inquiry from him, other viewers also grew curious, eager to see what 'Sleeve Arrow' could say about them.

This was the first time encountering such high-quality content in a livestream.

Fang Hao saw the viewers in the livestream and also felt that this person had some expertise.

He brought the previously mentioned broken porcelain shards in front of the camera for everyone to examine, curious to see what conclusions could be drawn from them.

...

"That's right."

"It's these items."

In a room filled with an ancient charm,

a middle-aged man wearing glasses suddenly became excited as he held a tablet in his hands.

On the tablet's screen, there was a pile of shattered porcelain shards.

"A glaze that is thick and luscious, as if piled fat, gentle and smooth as jade. The glaze's multiple, meticulous layers are scraped repeatedly, its brightness settling deeply yet not glaring, its texture organized and methodical..."

"Indeed, it is the typical style of the official kilns of the Southern Song Dynasty."
