Chapter 316: Sapphire
There was a lot of grain and dry food with him, and Taiqi distributed it to others.
Ji Deyue is now focused on the bag, looking at the thatched hut from the outside, it is still the same as when she first met it that year, and the wind and rain in the past eight years have not damaged it in the slightest.
Ji Deyue looked at the position of the master in front of the door and her planting Mulan, this tree has grown into a towering tree, no different from the other trees next to it that have become a hundred years.
Ji Deyue picked a leaf and chewed it, the yellow juice had a hint of mugwort, it was it.
Ji Deyue let people pick a lot of fruits, its fruit is similar to jujubes, small yellow, sour taste, Taiqi distributed it to everyone one, it has a calming effect, relieves anxiety, and quenches thirst.
Lin Meili took a shovel and handed it to Ji Deyue, who looked at the root of the tree blankly and said, "When I first planted him, it was just a seed, but now it has taken root and sprouted and grown so big, where do you think Master's bag will be buried?"
Lin Meili was stunned: "It won't grow to the bottom of the tree, if your master buries it deeply, the little sapling will take root as soon as it grows up, and it won't go down!"
Ji Deyue shook her head: "Master is such a shrewd person who can't do this kind of thing, you're talking about you!"
When Lin Meili heard this, her hands were paralyzed: "Then you can find it, see how you find it!"
Ji Deyue stood still and didn't move, the master chose to plant He Mulan and said: "Even if there is no fairy grass here, this is a lot of wealth, He Mulan has lush branches and leaves, and it has a unique smell, I heard that this smell can make the beast retreat."
Hopefully, after we plant it, we can protect the island and protect the house. ”
At that time, Xiao Ayue immediately flipped through the herb subjects, and only then did she see that the smell of He Mulan was similar to wormwood, the smell was relatively large, and it was more mosquito-repellent than others.
Master said, "It bears fruit once every eight years, and when it is ripe, it will take root and sprout." ”
Ji Deyue looked at the fruits of this tree, it turned out to be true, these fruits will become small magnolias on the ground in the future, and they will bloom and bear fruit again in eight years, and this island will be endless.
Ji Deyue had a flash of inspiration, would the master leave any smell in the box so that she could find it by smelling?
But it has been buried deep in the ground for eight years, and it is surrounded by soil, and even the smell is masked, unless it is dug up closely.
Ji Deyue sighed and called out to Tai Liudao: "Is there a way for you to smell something under this ground without digging it up?"
Tailiu found a steel pipe from the boat, and the shovel said, "I'll try it." ”
After saying that, he stabbed it with a shovel, and the steel pipe was attached to the side, and when he lifted it, he brought a pipe of new soil.
Ji Deyue was surprised: "What kind of technique is this?"
Lin Meili said disdainfully: "I didn't expect you to do this, this is not a good method, I heard that ancient people used this trick to dig tombs." ”
Ji Deyue nodded and suddenly realized: "Oh, it's a talent, this method is good, Tailiu, you will follow me in the future, and I will never treat you badly, and you are also doing a serious job, no risk." ”
Lin Meili laughed: "What else can he do with you besides being a bodyguard?"
Ji Deyue stopped: "Alas, this technique is good, you can learn from me to prick needles and press acupuncture points, multiple high-level apprentices are my pursuit, my craft must not be extinct!"
Lin Meixiang heard the joke: "He is older than you, if you accept him as an apprentice, he will still be extinct!"
Tai Liuhan smiled: "That's it, how can I study medicine!"
Ji Deyue took the new soil from the pipe and smelled it, there was no smell, just the fragrance of the soil.
Ji Deyue shook her head, Tai Liu tied a shovel nearby, Ji Deyue sniffed it one by one, and halfway through the digging, Tai Qi came and said, "Miss, the meal is ready." ”
Ji Deyue's stomach was also grumbling with hunger, Lin Meili was even more greedy when she heard it, everyone gathered around, Ji Deyue called her wife to get off the boat, and Zhu Er had a lot of fun on the island and picked a lot of small wild fruits.
Ji Deyue checked them one by one and threw away the inedible ones, she was happy to see the ones left.
Tai Qi cooked two seafood soups, which were caught during the trip, and they were very fresh.
There is also dry food and barbecue, the barbecue uses ingredients prepared before going ashore, and the overall look is rich, with rice, meat and fish soup.
Rice is the kind of instant product that is heated with water, which is very convenient and in large quantities.
After eating, Ji Deyue and Tai Liu continued to use shovels to distinguish the breath of the soil, Ji Deyue couldn't dig, she was afraid of damaging the roots of He Mulan, and she wouldn't dig until she had to, this was her and Master's sustenance.
Almost after smelling around, Ji Deyue locked on to one place from the fragrance of many earths, she smelled so much, she always felt that this place seemed to be different, but she couldn't say what was different.
Tailiu used a shovel under the guidance of Ji Deyue, and after digging about 20 centimeters, you can see the roots of He Mulan, whose roots are very developed and stretch far away.
Ji Deyue said: "Then dig around, don't dig up its roots." ”
Tai Liu used a small shovel to dig the soil from the side little by little, little by little it was very slow, and it was a little difficult to avoid the roots, Ji Deyue let him dig and smell the soil, and he suddenly said excitedly:
"It's almost there, I smell something different. ”
Ji Deyue carefully experienced it, it was like the smell of Marigold Township, yes, it was very similar to the smell of Lou Tai, a bit like ambergris and a little musk.
Ji Deyue was very confused again, the master left a pill made from Marigold Township back then, did he put the pill here?
Back then, he had personally told her that this pill could save her life, so why didn't he bring it with him?
Tailiu quickly sped up and dug about two centimeters deeper, revealing a dark red solid wood box.
The outer layer of the box was wrapped with a layer of transparent things, and Ji Deyue asked Tailiu to stop quickly.
Ji Deyue looked at the transparent thing, picked it with a stick, and a sticky silk was glued to the wooden stick, and Ji Deyue sniffed it.
This is a kind of glue, which is solid at first, and has a special way to keep it, and only needs to cover it tightly on the thing, and it can be tightly wrapped.
After a few hours, the solid glue comes into contact with the air and begins to liquefy, and it becomes the glue that is very sticky and cannot be broken like now, leaving no gaps at all.
If you accidentally touch this glue, it will stick firmly to your skin, and if you pull it, it will take away a layer of your skin.
Ji Deyue took a little water, took out a bottle of potion from the treasure bag, mixed it together, and splashed it on the red box, the sizzling white smoke rose, and the glue slowly turned into water and flowed into the soil.
Ji Deyue brought a pair of gloves and picked up the dark red box, the box was only ten centimeters long and twenty centimeters long.
After the glue on it melts, the box looks like a brand new one, and the carved patterns on it can be clearly seen, even if it is another ten or twenty years, the box will not be damaged in any way.
Ji Deyue looked at it and saw that it was a lockbox, the master wrapped it so tightly, and got a lockbox, what kind of password, the master didn't tell her the password, only gave a key.
Ji Deyue took out a delicate golden key from the treasure bag, she walked to the door of the thatched house, stunned, the master said that this key is a door key, but this door chain is not available, why do you need any key.
Ji Deyue shook her head helplessly, and walked to the box again and sat down.
Lin Meili was also stunned when she looked at it on the side, the combination lock is very peculiar, it has no numbers, my good man, this is the rhythm that people want to try for a lifetime.
Lin Meili said: "Could it be your birthday?"
Ji Deyue said: "How can I have a birthday, eighteen years, I haven't had a birthday, I don't know when I was born." ”
Lin Meili sighed: "It's so pitiful, it seems that I am too, huh...... Or maybe it's your master's birthday!"
Ji Deyue frowned: "Master?...... Master has never had a birthday, and I don't know which day!"
Lin Meili patted Ji Deyue's head and said, "You fool, let's ask my master, she must know!"
Ji Deyue nodded, wrapped the box with a baggage, and handed it to Tai Liu, who used a sack to disguise it, and waited for Ji Deyue to get on the boat before walking in.
Ji Deyue mainly didn't want these outsiders to know about them, which would affect them, if someone found their whereabouts later, they would definitely be able to find out that she had gone to sea.
Ji Deyue presented the box in front of Jin Ling, and Jin Ling looked at it carefully.
Lin Meili hurriedly said, "Master, what is Master Shang's birthday, what is your birthday? Or does he have a special and sensitive day?" ”
Jin Ling's eyes changed, and he touched his face, and said with a slightly unnatural expression: "You are not a combination lock." ”
Ji Deyue was stunned: "Huh? But I didn't see where the key could be inserted!"
Jin Lingdao: "This password doesn't even have a number, and the protrusion of each button is different, this password is afraid that it is connected to the things inside."
If someone else gets their hands on it, the contents will be scrapped long ago, didn't your master give you any hints?"
Ji Deyue took out the small golden key and said, "Master told me that this is a key that can open the door, but I saw that the thatched house is not locked, and I don't know what to do." ”
Jin Ling flipped the box around, and found a dark grid at the bottom, she pressed it lightly with her hand, and the dark grid opened, and there was a delicate small hole inside.
She took the key in Ji Deyue's hand and wiped it in, and when she turned it, the combination lock on it clinked, and the box opened.
Ji Deyue leaned over happily, Jin Ling pointed to the thin and long sharp knife behind the combination lock and said: "See, every time you press it, this sharp knife will stab the things in the box, the tip of the knife is black, obviously poisonous, your master is a master of poison."
I don't know what I did on it, and even if I could open it, I wouldn't be able to take away the secret. ”
Ji Deyue nodded and said, "Master protects it so well, I don't know what's inside." ”
Jin Ling smiled sarcastically: "It must be a secret that even I have to hide, most of it is related to your life experience, I don't know anything but your mother and him." ”
Ji Deyue pursed her lips, Ji Deyue didn't know the grievances of her previous life, she was ready to open the bag in front of everyone.
Jin Ling turned his back and said: "Out of sight is pure, see for yourself, I don't want to know, the past is over, there is no need to block your heart." ”
Lin Meili walked over and hugged Jin Ling's head and comforted: "Master has worked hard, my master is the most sensible!"
Seeing this, Zhu Er also hurriedly ran over and hugged Jin Ling, Ji Deyue saw such a situation, her heart was complicated, and she could only open the bag by herself.
Ji Deyue's hands are shaking, is this really her life experience as her mother said?
But why did the master make her life experience so confusing, it made her have a bad premonition in her heart.
But if she gets the things in her hand, if she doesn't look at them, she will have trouble sleeping, this is the inexplicable psychology of people, not to mention, she is still counting on the things in it to save the master.
Ji Deyue gritted her teeth, look, you have to look, no matter what is in it, you must see it clearly.
The color of the brocade is the same dark green as the agate, and the gold silk thread is embroidered on it, and the overall look is gorgeous.
There is a pattern on the front, a little girl holds a cup of milk tea in her hand and hands it to the little boy who is sitting on the side of the road.
The picture is quiet, but it has the appearance of a dragon and a tiger, Ji Deyue seems to see the bright smile of the little girl and hear the clear voice of the little girl Ruohuangli.
Seeing the little boy's trembling eyes and shocked expression, it must have been full of gratitude or enthusiasm.
Why milk tea, this milk tea appeared inadvertently in Ji Deyue's memory, and the place where the master came to pick her up was also a milk tea shop, "Love milk tea." ”
Ji Deyue's heart trembled, could this picture be the young master and her mother?
Why did Master take her eight-year-old with him at the expense of his wife's feelings and the fact that he was an unmarried man?
It's unbelievable not for profit, not for other reasons, and Master said that he was my mother's friend.
That's it, that's right, these two people are really Mother and Master?
This picture was inexplicably tear-jerking, which made Ji Deyue feel the urge to cry.
Ji Deyue gently pulled the rope, there seemed to be a lot of things in it, the bag was only the size of a palm, but the things were very heavy.
Ji Deyue stretched out her hand and poured out the things, and a delicate square box caught Ji Deyue's attention, if this kind of box was not mistaken, it was usually filled with jewelry.
There is also a small bag in the palm of his hand and a small envelope next to it.
Ji Deyue wanted to open the envelope, but her hand couldn't help but reach for the small box.
Ji Deyue opened the box, and sure enough, there was a gold ring lying inside, and there was a blue gem on the ring.
The weight of the gemstone is quite large, like that kind of emerald, a little dull.
Ji Deyue picked it up, Lin Meili couldn't help covering her mouth, her eyes lit up, she came over to look carefully, and sighed while watching:
"Wow, such a big gem, so beautiful!"
Ji Deyue looked at the ring, and some vague fragments flashed in her mind.
