Sea-hunting: With the system in hand, my eyes are the ruler

Chapter 1206

Li Jianhao rubbed his temple in dissatisfaction, "Women just like to scream."

Jiang Han looked over and saw a large insect next to Meng Guo.

Jiang Han had never seen this before, but he thought it was quite special.

He pulled a dip net from the trunk and placed it over the thing. The bug couldn't get away.

Meng Guo looked at him curiously, "Why are you catching this bug?"

"Let me ask what this is."

This thing has a green head and long arms. Jiang Han's intuition tells him that this thing is not simple.

Jiang Han sent the photos he had just taken to Xin Gaoyang. He thought that Xin Gaoyang would not reply so quickly on the second day of the first lunar month.

As a result, Xin Gaoyang replied immediately.

[Xin Gaoyang: I don't recognize this thing either, but my dad does.]

Xin Gaoyang: My dad called this a "Yang Cai Arm Beetle." There were a lot of them when he was a kid. Experts later said they were extinct, but a few have been discovered in recent years.

Xin Gaoyang: This thing is incredibly valuable. It's even nicknamed "Yang Baiwan." A specimen can fetch 20 yuan, and a live one is even more valuable. My dad says a live one could fetch over 40 yuan. It's easily worth a million yuan on the black market.

Jiang Han just thought he had made a profit, but he didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.

Xin Gaoyang sent another urgent reply.

[Xin Gaoyang: This creature is now a second-class national protected species, so don't catch it carelessly.]

The corners of Jiang Han's mouth twitched. Why did he encounter protected animals again?

He took away the scoop net, but the golden beetle still didn't leave.

Li Jianhao felt disgusted and wanted to step on it to death, but was pulled back by Jiang Han.

"If you don't want to go to jail, just behave yourself."

Li Jianhao looked at the thing in surprise, "I just stepped on a bug, why am I going to jail?"

"This is a golden-colored beetle, a national second-class protected species. Don't commit a crime on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Li Jianhao swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that such an ugly insect was also a national protected animal.

In his impression, national protected animals are all cute things like giant pandas.

"Okay, since he's an animal protection advocate, I'll let him go."

After they finished breakfast, they drove down the mountain.

"Drive slowly. Don't drive where there is water. Let's take another road." Jiang Han reminded Li Jianhao.

It had been a while since the rain stopped, and the water level in many places had dropped. But Jiang Han had no way of seeing the entire road ahead.

"I understand." Li Jianhao felt that Jiang Han had a lot of things to worry about.

On the way down the mountain, they encountered a deep pool of water. Li Jianhao took a detour and came across a bamboo forest.

Li Jianhao became very excited.

He didn't discuss it with Jiang Han and Meng Guo. He parked the car and went to the trunk to pick up the hoe.

Jiang Han held his forehead with his hand: "What is your cousin going to do now?"

Meng Guo looked at the bamboo forest nearby and said, "The winter bamboo shoots should be good at this time."

Jiang Han had a headache. No wonder Meng Guo's aunt and uncle were worried that Li Jianhao wouldn't be able to find a wife.

Although his family had some wealth, Li Jianhao had nothing but fishing and various game in the mountains.

"This bamboo forest should have an owner, right?" Jiang Han felt that this bamboo forest must have been planted by someone.

His family also had a bamboo forest, which was allocated to his parents by the village and then left to him. However, he hadn't dug bamboo shoots there in a long time. If the villagers wanted to dig in his bamboo field, he would let them do so.

"Should we go and take a look?" Jiang Han asked.

Meng Guo shook his head. "We can just get off the bus and walk around."

Jiang Han and Meng Guo walked hand in hand on the mountain road after the rain.

There are large fields on the side of the road.

The water in the canal between the mountain road and the field was flowing very fast because of the rain.

Jiang Han looked upstream along the canal and saw several wild crucian carp being washed down by the water in the canal.

Jiang Han took the scoop net and put it into the canal, just waiting there.

Not long after, three wild crucian carp were caught in the scoop net.

Meng Guo looked at Jiang Han in admiration, "You are so amazing. You can catch fish just by standing there casually."

Jiang Han smiled and said, "Just lucky."

They were happily fishing when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the bamboo forest.

"Don't run! Stop!"

"Compensate!"

"Outflank him and don't let him get away."

"..."

Meng Guo frowned, "He was caught."

Jiang Han also guessed this situation.

He saw Li Jianhao running away in the bamboo forest.

It must be said that Li Jianhao's jumping ability is quite strong. He carried a bag of bamboo shoots and jumped up and down, and actually avoided the villagers.

Li Jianhao shouted to Jiang Han and Meng Guo, "Get in the car!"

Meng Guo looked at Jiang Han and said, "You get in the car first."

Jiang Han is a public figure after all, and this is not a glorious thing. It would not be good if the villagers took some photos and posted them online.

"how about you?"

"He's my cousin. Since I came out with him, it's only right for me to clean up this mess for him."

Meng Guo pushed Jiang Han into the car.

Li Jianhao threw the bag of bamboo shoots onto the passenger seat and got into the car.

Li Jianhao shouted to Meng Guo, "Come up quickly."

He was so slow. He had already called them to get in the car in advance, but Meng Guo hadn't gotten in yet.

Meng Guo still didn't come up. Seeing that the villagers were getting closer, Li Jianhao stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Jiang Han opened his mouth in surprise. He really didn't expect Li Jianhao to be like this. "Xiaoguo hasn't gotten in the car yet!"

"She didn't steal bamboo shoots, so the villagers won't give her any trouble. Besides, she's grown up, so she'll definitely find a way to get home. At worst, I can just wait for her in the village ahead."

Jiang Han was speechless. How could Xiaoguo have such a clueless cousin? He was caught stealing bamboo shoots and he was still right?

"Put me down."

"what happened?"

"Even if we have to leave, Xiaoguo and I will go together."

He really wanted to live with Xiaoguo, but when something happened he left Xiaoguo and ran away. What kind of man is he?

Besides, he and Xiaoguo were not wrong in the first place.

Li Jianhao had no way to deal with Jiang Han, so he gritted his teeth, turned the car around and went back.

When the car returned to its original location, Xiaoguo seemed to have negotiated something with the group of villagers, and the group of villagers had already dispersed.

Li Jianhao was a little happy that they actually left.

He lowered the window and whistled at Meng Guo, "You're so stupid! I told you to get in the car, but you didn't. Why don't you get in now?"

Meng Guo didn't bother with Li Jianhao and got into the car naturally.

She stared at the back of Li Jianhao's head, "Did you just leave me?"

Li Jianhao choked, "How could I do such a thing? I'm just buying time. I'm back to pick you up again, aren't I?"

Meng Guo didn't believe it at all. "I've already paid for the bamboo shoots for you. I'll take a screenshot of the bill and send it to my aunt. If you have any questions, please explain them to my aunt and uncle."

Li Jianhao was about to jump up and down, "No, I've already escaped, why are you giving me money?"
