"I should have told Xiao Bei and the others to bring more baskets!" Liu Qiang replied.
"It's okay if we don't have baskets, we all have ropes, right? Let's tie them together, and after we rest for a bit, we'll start digging, digging as much as we can! I reckon they'll have pigs and sheep and water when they get back today, and someone will definitely come over tomorrow, then everyone'll have to fight over it!"
