Chapter 22 Plum Blossom Lock
A few of us touched the box up and down, and our hands were almost peeled off, and we couldn't find a way to open the box.
Liu Ye finally shook his hand and looked at me and Daya. He suggested that it would be better to find a place to see if some equipment can be used to see through the structure inside or scan out the things inside. If the inside is empty, there is no need to worry about it anymore.
That's it, but we can do such things except scientific research institutions and police. Neither scientific research institutions nor police have the obligation to facilitate identification. We can't just hold a box and ask someone to test it. Maybe we really can't explain things in the box, and we ourselves were also implicated.
When I was frowning, I suddenly remembered an alumnus from high school who happened to work in the Optical and Mechanical Institute in the provincial capital. Maybe she would have other solutions.
I quickly told Daya and Liu Ye what I thought. They were overjoyed. Without further ado, we quickly went to the field and greeted my second aunt. Lied that it was a work requirement and we had to go out and come back in a few days.
On the way, Daya kept asking me what kind of friend I was, whether to support myself or not, don’t steal chickens and lose money.
I was too lazy to pay attention to him. Seeing that he was really annoyed, I simply told him that he was a woman named Li Yan, who was a classmate of me. I met him when I was in school. I occasionally went out for dinner and chatting together. The relationship was always good. I also wrote a letter during college, but in the past few years, everyone was busy with their own work and didn't have much contact.
Liu Ye was driving the car attentively, and didn't know if he had listened to me chatting with Daya, and he didn't say a word.
The temperature in the car was very comfortable and the driving was very stable. A faint fragrance came over, and this faint jasmine fragrance echoed throughout the car, refreshing the heart.
Daya has been working in Changchun and is very familiar with the traffic here. He directed the willow leaves and walked around. He arrived at the place in less than an hour. Then he woke me up gently.
I opened my eyes, looked out the window, rubbed my face with my hands, and then I woke up a little.
Li Yan took out her cell phone from her pocket and called. She seemed a little unbelievable that I would call. She seemed very happy and immediately started chatting with me. When she heard that I was at the gate of her unit, she was a little unbelievable. I tried to persuade her and promised and sweared, so she was willing to come out to take a look.
Liuye and Daya in the car were watching me laugh secretly, and there was a scent in my smile that could be seen without saying. I was too lazy to explain, leaning on the car door, staring at the door, searching for the figures.
In fact, this girl Li Yan and I have always been able to talk to each other. Many times, our views and hobbies are similar, so we have a very tacit understanding. We got very close when we were in school, and even a little ambiguous. In fashionable terms, we are also a close friend.
While he was thinking about it, Li Yan appeared in his sight. He hadn't seen him for seven or eight years, and his appearance was similar to before, with his eyes clear and transparent, and his spotless purity.
After seeing me, she quickly ran over and ran over with an excited face.
When I ran to me, I was not hugging or shaking hands, and it was a bit embarrassing.
Daya and Liuye also got out of the car. I introduced them to each other, and everyone greeted him politely.
Because it was working hours and I didn't talk much, after explaining my purpose straight to the point, Li Yan agreed happily.
After delivering the box, we were much more relaxed this time. We had been eating and playing for several days.
Daya ate and drank heartlessly during the day, and slept like a dead pig at night. But then again, I seem to have not had such a simple life for many years, and I have had pure fun. Liu Ye has been having fun these days and finally saw her lively side. She was completely different from the cold and cold temperament she had met at first. She only occasionally stared inexplicably and didn't know what she was thinking.
After a few days, the fun was getting worse and I was a little tired of it. Li Yan called and said that the test results were out and asked us to wait for her. She rushed over after get off work.
In the evening, Li Yan hurriedly sent the box over and handed it to me along with a stack of printing paper, telling us that she asked her colleagues to help detect the box. However, it was strange. She didn't know what substance was inside, which could shield the rays and could not detect the structure inside. She could only detect the thickness of about two centimeters. However, it can be confirmed that the box was not solid, either hollow inside or filled with different substances, and the method of opening the box was not yet clear.
After hearing what Li Yan said, the three of us were surprised. After looking at each other, we were inevitably a little disappointed.
Seeing that we were all like eggplants made from frost, Li Yan smiled and told us that there was not a clue at all. After inspection, a mark was found at the bottom of the box, which was in the shape of a plum blossom, which may be helpful to us. The mark was at the bottom of the box, about 0.1 mm lighter than the surface, and it was difficult to find both vision and touch. It was probably a balance device, which seemed to require a special key to press the force into balance and finally open the box.
We quickly turned the box over and stared at it for a long time, but we didn't find the mark that Li Yan said.
Li Yan smiled at us: "I can't see it without looking at me, but there are printed drawings here. If you put the drawings on the box, you can find the marking position at the bottom through the graphic marks on the drawings."
Li Yan was very busy at work. After giving the instructions, she hurried back.
We sat together and discussed the box for more than two hours, but we didn't say that we were all here. Obviously, the "Plum Blossom Lock" on the bottom of the box should have a special key to open. After all, the final spearhead was still directed at the mysterious dead man in the tomb. Judging from this situation, we had to go back and continue to take risks and dig the tomb where the bones were buried to see if we could get more valuable things or new clues.
Early the next morning, we left here, and after a bumpy journey, we rushed back to the village.
I greeted Daya and moved some of the New Year's goods I bought for my second aunt from the car. They were all fruits, drinks, tobacco and alcohol, and things that could hold.
When the second aunt saw me moving boxes into the house, she kept muttering to me: "Let's go, why are you doing this? How much does it cost to do so many things? People in the countryside are not used to eating this food. Besides, there are also sellers in the town, which are quite expensive. You can save some money, and it's not easy to make money."
After Daya moved the last box of things, she jokingly said while washing her hands: "My wife, don't be too careful. I'll bring some bottles of wine and cigarettes to my second uncle, and help you prepare some New Year's goods, so that you can save you any trouble when you go to the town. Besides, we three living people can't eat and drink for free with you."
When the second aunt heard this, her face pulled down: "You little rabbit, I'm going to send you a few people to eat this meal. Er's family has nothing else. The rice and vegetables are all from their own home. Isn't it good? These cabbage, potatoes, pickled vegetables, pork, etc. are enough."
I smiled and looked at my second aunt: "Second aunt, don't be like him. You don't know that he has never been in a good position since childhood. Buy something and eat together, it's lively!"
My second aunt stopped nagging, as if she suddenly remembered something. She walked out a few steps and then turned back and told me that in the past few days, my second aunt has improved a lot and her mind is not too confused. My second aunt has been muttering these two days, and she has to have a few drinks with you when she comes back.
I was free to have sex, and time was fast, and a small day passed.
In the evening, my second uncle came back. Seeing that my complexion was pretty good, when I saw us coming back, I asked my second aunt to cook while chatting with us. My second uncle is also a real rural person and doesn't say anything. He talks about some things that have happened in recent years. What happened to his second boy got married and his third girl got into the city. We also found it interesting and just chatted.
The supper was relatively rich, because the Chinese New Year was coming, so every family killed pigs, and some pork was there.
I stewed a pot of pork, vermicelli, pork ribs and potatoes, and made a cold dish. Although there were fewer dishes, this was not usually paid attention to in rural areas. Usually, I stewed a large pot of vegetables, a large pot is enough to eat for a day or two, which is more convenient.
The pork was very fragrant. Daya and I ate it hard and killed most of the pots of pork. I couldn't eat it anymore, so I started drinking with my second uncle. Originally, Daya and I didn't have the alcohol level, but when I met my second uncle, it was basically for nothing. Daya and I used a small cup, and the second uncle used a bowl. According to my second aunt, my second uncle had to eat half a pound of wine if I had something to do. You should know that the small roast in Northeast China is more than 60 degrees, which is better than Erguotou. After drinking two cups of Daya and I, I was a little confused and could not drink it again.
While smiling, my second uncle poured half a bowl of wine himself. Seeing that we were really not able to do it, we didn't pour us any more wine, so we drank it on our own. In fact, it wasn't really too much, but I knew that there was something to do at night, and there was a certain amount of pretending to be drunk, but I felt a little dizzy after these two cups.
