Zeng Li hesitated for a moment, then walked forward with a smile and said: "Let's go~"
She was still very convinced of Qin Nan's judgment. After all, he had helped her so much before and saved herself countless times.
Qin Nan shook his head helplessly, and the others walked in through the "main entrance" where they had just arrived.
Qin Nan walked straight into his grandma's temple. He squinted his eyes and looked at the covered "god statue" in front of him, and then stretched out his hands. Zeng Li wanted to stop him and tell him not to touch such things, but it was already too late.
.
Qin Nan tried hard to break the statue. When he saw that the statue could move, he knew something was going on, so he used all his strength to turn the statue around. He pointed the finger of the statue toward the coffin room, but nothing happened.
"It's weird, it shouldn't be..." Qin Nan scratched his head.
"Can you do it? If not, I'll go back." Zeng Li said angrily.
At this time, Wu Haotian frowned, walked to the side of the statue and said, "Look at the stone pier below..."
Qin Nan and Zeng Li approached Wu Haotian at the same time, and saw a twenty-centimeter-wide gap in the stone pier below. There was a lot of quicklime sprinkled in the gap, and some of it had already condensed into a lump.
There was a black wooden box in the middle. Qin Nan carefully took out the black wooden box. He blew on the lime on it, and then gently opened the wooden box that looked a bit old.
The three people's eyes were focused on the black wooden box, and they saw a warm white bead inside, but this bead seemed to have a little reddish color.
The light in the room was too dark, so a few people came to the door and discovered that the bead had slowly turned dark red.
"What, what is this? It's so magical..." Zeng Li looked at the beads in the wooden box with doubts. Just when she was about to reach out to take the things inside,
At this time, Qin Nan immediately closed the box and said to Zeng Li: "Wait a minute, this bead must not be an ordinary bead. This box looks to be old. Maybe it is a national treasure. Let's not touch it yet...
…”
"Why, we can't move the things we found?!" Zeng Li said angrily.
"You can move, as long as you want to go to jail?" Qin Nan raised an eyebrow and said.
"I...I..." Zeng Li started to hesitate, her face full of grievances. She didn't catch anything this time, and she even fell into a warm ditch.
"Where did the two missing coffins go?" Wu Haotian said with a frown.
Qin Nan thought for a while and said: "I think it must be related to the two people who were hanged, and they happened to be two coffins."
"Well, I have also thought about it. This coffin shop was built in the 1960s and 1970s, but the two hanged people were discovered by villagers during World War II.
The time difference is several decades, so I think this seems unlikely." Wu Haotian said with a frown.
"Yes, why don't we go home and come back another day? It's snowing outside and my clothes are soaked..." Zeng Li said with her teeth shaking up and down.
Although there is no snow here, the wind blowing is still the familiar cold wind. Qin Nan asked Wu Haotian to move one of the coffin lids in the yard to the "hot spring" entrance there to prevent someone from falling in and being unable to get out.
,
When Wu Haotian took off the lid of one of the coffins, he discovered that there were two strange paper figures inside the coffin.
The inside of the paper man is supported by bamboo sticks. He is also wearing a black dress with a pointed black hat on top of the dress. The other is the opposite white.
Seeing this, Qin Nan and others couldn't help but trembled, but the three of them did not speak in tacit agreement. Wu Haotian moved the coffin lid to the entrance of the cave, and then they left the temple...
It was almost evening after returning home. Grandma saw that Zeng Li was all wet when she came home, so she asked her where she had been and said that she accidentally fell into the weir pond.
She didn't dare tell her grandma that they went to her grandma's temple, for fear that she and the others would scold her.
After the three of them returned home, they each went back to their rooms. After Zeng Li changed her clothes and returned to the room, she sat blankly on the bed, seeming to wonder why there were two paper figures in the coffin.
After Wu Haotian returned to the room, he no longer thought about his grandma's temple, but instead thought about his interview after the year. Qin Nan returned to the room and took photos of the contents of the black box to Song Yi.
Not long after the photo was sent, Song Yi called and asked:
"Where was this found?"
"Grandma's temple in my hometown, look at what this is. If you don't know where it is, forget it. I'll go to the antique market and sell it casually some other day." Qin Nan asked, looking at the beads in the box.
"Wait a minute, I'll send this to a friend of mine and let him see what it is." Song Yi said.
"Okay, thank you, let's see how much it's worth." Qin Nan said.
The two casually chatted about some domestic matters, and Qin Nan hung up the phone.
Later, Song Yi told him that this thing was called the Night Dragon Pearl and it was from the Xia Dynasty. He thought this thing was just a legend, but he didn't expect it to actually exist.
This bead will turn dark red under the sun, faint blue under the moonlight, and turn emerald green if illuminated by an ordinary incandescent lamp.
Later, Qin Nan gave the bead to Song Yi and received a reward of 20,000 yuan.
The matter in Grandma's Temple has come to an end. As for the two missing coffins, Qin Nan also doesn't know. He thinks that there is a high probability that they were carried away, otherwise they would not have disappeared out of thin air.
As for the female skeleton, Qin Nan believed that during the Anti-Japanese War, the old man might still be alive, or he might have died not long ago, and was later fixed to the stone pier of Lao Lao Temple.
Later, the old man died, or the body had decomposed. Later, I don't know who put her at the door of the "main entrance", and then placed a one-foot-tall "statue" in her place.
Of course, all this is just Qin Nan's guess, but Qin Nan also has no idea where the pale-faced coffin seller Zeng Li said is, and all his analysis is just his personal guess.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian planned to return to the city on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. As usual, his grandparents filled his trunk with various green vegetables, but this time bacon and sausages accounted for the majority.
"Cousin, be careful on the road." Zeng Li said with a complicated expression.
She seemed to want to go to the city, but she was also worried about something.
"Okay, bye, don't be a big resentment and get deceived again. Discuss these matters with your bestie more often," Qin Nan instructed.
He thought Zeng Li would retort, but what he never expected was that she nodded. Qin Nan sighed helplessly, and then got into the car with Wu Haotian and left Shennong Village.
Grandma and the others saw the direction Qin Nan left and took two steps forward until the white Santana turned into a white dot. Grandpa sighed and said:
"Oh, I don't know when we will meet next time. I hope he can bring his girlfriend with him when he comes back next time."
Grandpa walked into the house, and Zeng Li also shook her head. Just as she turned around, grandma looked at her with strange eyes and asked:
"You went to the city and were deceived? Why didn't I know?"
"This..." Zeng Li smiled awkwardly and didn't know what to say, so she had to make up some insignificant things and tell her grandma. She didn't dare to lie about selling charms and being deceived by Chen Huan.
Tell grandma,
Otherwise, he will die miserably. If they find out, it is estimated that they will not be able to find my cousin and the others again for a long time...
Not long after, the two of them returned home. At this time, the house was also in a mess. They were a little anxious before leaving, so they didn't do much to clean up.
The two worked together for several hours to clean up the house. Qin Nan let Wu Haotian sleep in Zeng Li's previous room. His cousin should not come again in a short period of time.
During the Chinese New Year, Qin Nan and Wu Haotian did not go out for fun. Wu Haotian stayed at home to prepare for the interview, while Qin Nan went to the police station to drink tea and chat with Song Yi.
During the past few days of the Spring Festival, the Public Security Command Center did not receive any cases. Most of them were drunkenness and causing trouble, or quarrels while buying groceries...
