Han Nuowei was startled, he grabbed the ladder, a little embarrassed, "I just want to read the book." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh my God, what is this?" Tao Baihe looked incredulous when she saw the basement, obviously, she didn't know the secret of the study either.

"Okay, it's amazing, I didn't even know there was a basement in the study!" Tao Baihe blinked, and then walked towards the basement with a grin. Although Han Nuowei felt that it was inappropriate, this was the Tao family after all, and he was also very curious, so he hurriedly got down the ladder and followed.

The secret room is not large, but it is quite comfortably decorated. The walls are lined with thin black wood, and the floor is covered with lotus-colored carpets. In the center of the room is a large desk, with a comfortable-looking armchair in the corner. On the wall facing the stairs, there were some paintings of small size, and Tao Baihe immediately walked over curiously when he saw it. When the wall lamp was lit, Tao Baihe realized that these paintings were all old photos. She looked at them one by one, and the more she looked, the stranger it became. She turned her head and said to Han Nuowei, "Why don't I know any of these people?"

Han Nuowei didn't have any interest in these old photos, but he saw that Tao Baihe was very interested and couldn't bear to be disappointed, so he echoed and said, "Maybe it's your father's old friend?"

Tao Baihe didn't answer, but pointed to a photo of the two and said: "This person is so good-looking, I didn't know my dad had such a handsome friend." ”

The two young men in the photo are both smiling. The person on the left is a little thin and has a somewhat restrained expression, he is the same Tao Fu when he was young. And the person on the right has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the bridge of his nose is like a mountain, and he has the outline of a veteran Hollywood movie star.

At the bottom of the photograph is a line printed in small print: June 1, 1977.

Han Nuowei stared at the photo for a few seconds, "It's really handsome, maybe it's a photo of your father with which star." ”

Tao Baihe shook his head, "Impossible, if my dad knew a celebrity, would he not tell me? ”

In fact, Han Nuowei also felt that Tao Baihe had some truth in what he said, but it was not appropriate for him to say it.

The rest of the photos are mostly solo photos of Tao Fu when he was young. Judging from these photos, Tao was very active when he was young, and the photos not only show him climbing mountains, playing volleyball, but also selling to customers in the store.

Tao Baihe couldn't help but smack his lips, "My dad opened the store so early, and he didn't tell me." ”

After looking at the photos, Tao Baihe sat down on the sofa, and then threw a wink at Han Nuowei.

Han Nuowei was about to pounce on him, but Tao Baihe's mobile phone rang at an inopportune time. Tao Baihe took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his nightdress, looking quite impatient.

Han Nuowei couldn't help but ask, "Is it still the one looking for your father?"

Tao Baihe didn't answer, just quickly pressed the keyboard to reply to the message. Han Nuowei couldn't help but want to take a closer look, Tao Baihe saw this, and quickly closed the flip cover, Han Nuowei only saw that the outer screen displayed "20:35 on September 13, 2002." ”

Han Nuowei was a little unhappy, "Bai He, are you hiding something from me?"

Tao Baihe twisted his body coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about." With that, she got up and lit the lamp on her desk. I saw that there were pens and papers, magnifying glasses, tweezers, white and purple lamps for amber identification, and some pieces of paper similar to letters written with strange characters written on them.

Tao Baihe picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, "It's Dad's handwriting." I don't even know that my dad can speak Japanese!"

Han Nuowei did not speak. The answer is obvious, Tao can't hide his foreign language skills, naturally he doesn't want people to know.

Tao Baihe suddenly cried out as if he had discovered a new world, "Hey, Xiao Wei, look at this cabinet." ”

Han Nuowei looked down and saw a cabinet under the desk. The pattern on the cabinet door is intricate and fine, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are engraved with gold thread in the middle. Between summer and autumn, there is a shallow rectangular groove the size of a glasses case. The grooves occupy half of the summer and autumn, and the bottom is engraved with a set of relief patterns of unknown significance. And strangely, there are no handles on the doors.

Tao Baihe took a closer look, "Xiao Wei, you say, what will my father hide inside?"

Han Nuowei couldn't cry or laugh, "How would I know, it stands to reason that you should be able to guess, after all, it's your father." ”

Tao Baihe's eyes widened, "Then it's also your dad from now on!" She rolled her eyes, and suddenly said in an exaggerated tone: "Could there be a person hidden inside?"

Han Nuowei frowned slightly, "Bai He, this is not funny. ”

Tao Baihe shrugged. She crouched down and groped around the cabinet, "I didn't find the lock, how do you open it?"

Han Nuowei looked at the cabinet door, as if he suddenly remembered something. Without saying a word, he ran upstairs and came back with an extra bookmark.

Tao Baihe was confused, "What are you doing?"

"If my guess is correct, this cabinet must be hiding the secret of the secret room. Your dad probably doesn't want you to know about that, are you sure you want to open it?"

Tao Baihe said nonchalantly: "Of course, my dad is just one of my daughters, isn't his one mine, what can't I see." ”

Han Nuowei hesitated for a moment, and finally pasted the bookmark in his hand to the rectangular groove in the middle of the cabinet. The size and thickness of the bookmark are just right to match the grooves, and when you put them on, the spring, summer, autumn and winter are completely coherent. Han Nuowei couldn't help but praise again and again.

However, after waiting for a few seconds, there was no movement in the cabinet. Han Nuowei looked at Tao Baihe with a blank expression. Tao Baihe reached out and touched the bookmark, muttering in her mouth, "Strange, isn't this bookmark the key?" After speaking, she suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! This seems to be able to be pressed!"

Tao Baihe pressed the bookmark hard.

The cabinet was silent for two seconds, and then the door slowly slid to the right. The two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes showed joy.

There are only two levels inside the cabinet. On the lower floor, there is a fist-sized piece of black and lustrous amber, as well as a few pieces of water-purified worm amber, which are worth a lot at a glance. On the entire upper floor, only a relatively large walnut carving was placed.

Tao Baihe saw it at a glance, and was about to reach out to take it, but Han Nuowei immediately stopped her, "Baihe, you see that this cabinet is made of small leaf red sandalwood, and it is made of such precious wood, so I am afraid that what is placed in this cabinet is not an ordinary object." People's hands are covered with oil and sweat, and if you touch them casually, you may get damaged. ”

Tao Baihe nodded, and then reached out to open the drawer on the right side of the desk. She looked up and smirked, "I knew!" as she spoke, pulling out two pairs of gloves from the drawer. One is very new, the other is noticeably wrinkled.

After putting on the gloves, Han Nuowei carefully took out the nuclear eagle. At this look, both of them gasped.

Han Nuowei learned carving from his mother Lou Yan since he was a child, and when he grew up, he worked in an amber shop, and he has seen many good things, but he has never seen such a beautifully carved and ingeniously conceived object.

The color of this nuclear carving is quite dark, and there is a dull oily water slippery surface, which can be seen at a glance to know its age. Its shape is slightly similar to ingots, and the carver carved a beautiful painting boat on the peach pit because of the shape.

The boat has two floors. The upper floor is slightly smaller, and there is a small cabin, in which one person is in the cabin, supporting the window lattice with his hand, as a window to enjoy the view. On the lower floor, two people sat opposite each other and drank, and in one case, it was actually made of a piece of amber. Not far from the two of them, another person held a wine glass, as if drinking alone.

Tao Baihe couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, why should such a good thing be hidden." ”

Han Nuowei sighed, "This is the best carving, and it is hidden in the basement. Seeing that the pearl was hidden, he couldn't help but sigh.

Tao Baihe didn't understand his thoughts, he just looked at the nuclear sculpture and was amazed, "Look, it's so powerful, the cups in which the three people drink are different, such a small cup!"

Han Nuowei took a closer look, and sure enough, the cup in the hand of the person who drank alone was hollow, while the cup was solid for the two people who were drinking.

If you can make the wine glass of the person who drinks alone hollow, then why are the other two glasses lazy? Han Nuowei fell into deep thought, "This kind of carving will not miss these small details, unless it is intentional. ”

Tao Baihe suddenly said, "Why don't we try to fill this empty cup too?"

Han Nuowei was taken aback, "Bai He, the nuclear eagle is very delicate, and it may be bad if it gets wet." ”

Tao Baihe pouted, "Just add a little water, that cup only needs one drop is enough, and then we will wipe it dry immediately, how can it be broken? Besides, my dad made this basement, aren't you curious?"

Just do it, Han Nuowei was still in a daze, and Tao Baihe had already gone upstairs to get a glass of water.

Han Nuowei sighed secretly, he was always unable to refuse any request from his lover.

He picked up a piece of paper from the table and folded it into a small funnel in two or three clicks. He then dipped the tip of the funnel in a cup, then tilted it and aimed it at the nuclear sculpture on the table.

I saw a drop of water slowly fall into the wine glass of the person who drank alone. The two waited quietly for a few seconds, but nothing changed. The two looked at each other, both wondering a little.

While the two were thinking wildly, the person holding the cup suddenly moved. I saw him slowly bring the wine glass closer to his cheek, and after a while, the arm of the person pushing the window on the upper floor also moved. However, the man did not open the window, but supported the lattice with his hand and closed the small window of the cabin little by little.

At the moment when the window was completely closed, there was a "pop", and a layer of dark compartment popped out from the side of the gunwale, in which there was a roll of extremely thin strips of paper.

The two looked at each other. Tao Baihe was in a hurry, and immediately snatched the note.

Tao Baihe twisted a few times, but he couldn't twist the note. In desperation, she had to take off her gloves, and then slowly unfolded the note. When she looked closely, she found that there were small words on it, but they couldn't be seen clearly with the naked eye. Han Nuowei picked up the magnifying glass on the table and pointed it at the note. A small poem in traditional Chinese characters was densely written on the note:

Look at the painting, and fall into the glass cup.

Spring is short, and the shore of Lan Zhi is on the shore.

Clothed and bamboo, the butterfly is in turmoil.

The jade is overnight, and the smoke is on the bar.

"What does this mean?" Tao Baihe muttered.

Han Nuowei thought for a while, "I don't know, but this cabinet is full of amber, will it have anything to do with amber?"

Tao Baihe nodded. She suddenly picked up the tweezers on the table, took out the piece of amber from the nuclear carving, and placed it in the palm of her hand.

The amber has a simple shape, at first glance it looks like a wishful and a curled cloud, and there are circles of flowing lines inside. Its color is also very peculiar, like gold and red, but with purple.

The two looked closely, but they couldn't see any mystery. Tao Baihe didn't give up, and when he saw that there was a white purple lamp on the table, he took it to shine at the amber.

"Forget it, Bai He, if you really don't understand, just put it back, after all, it's your father's thing. Han Nuowei was afraid that she would break something, so he hurriedly persuaded her.

As if he hadn't heard, Tao Baihe picked up the note again, and said as he read it: "Why did my dad hide it from me? For as long as I can remember, my dad has loved me very much and told me everything." ”

Han Nuowei didn't know how to answer for a while, he thought about it and comforted his lover: "Maybe it's because he hasn't solved the mystery here, so why don't you tell you in a hurry?"

Tao Baihe nodded, then suddenly screamed and threw the note in his hand to the ground.

Han Nuowei was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Scalded. As soon as he finished speaking, a flame rose from the note. Han Nuowei hurriedly poured the water in the cup on the fire, but the fire started extremely quickly, and the cup of water was splashed to no avail.

Han Nuowei immediately stepped on it with his feet, but he was wearing slippers, and not only did he not step on them after stepping on them twice, but his socks were still burning. Tao Baihe screamed in fright.

"Do you have a fire extinguisher at home?" asked Han Nuowei as he patted his socks.

"I don't know. Tao Baihe was about to cry in fright. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like it's about to reach the cabinet. The cabinet was anti-corrosion and moisture-proof, unusually dry, and ignited.

"Hurry up and call Mother Lin!" Han Nuowei was also anxious at this time.

Tao Baihe rushed upstairs in a few steps. Han Nuowei put out the fire with what he could find, and at the same time put the amber into his pocket, he thought vaguely, "The contents of this cabinet are really evil. ”

When Tao couldn't build the basement in the first place, it seems that he didn't consider the issue of fire protection at all. After Han Nuowei looked around the room, he realized in despair that there was no water source and no windows.

Time passed without delay, but Tao Baihe did not appear for a long time. The air was thinning and getting hotter, and the fire was out of control and had to leave. However, when he looked up, he found that the door on the top of the secret room had been closed at some point. A man's voice came from outside the door, and Han Nuowei couldn't tell who it was. The man was menacing, as if he was questioning, and as if he was comforting.

Han Nuowei wanted to shout, "Bastard!" but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say anything. At the moment when he fell to the ground, he suddenly thought that the password of the Tao family's gate happened to be "Death is undoubted".

"Such a coincidence, is this the will of heaven?"
