Chapter X

It's a pity that he has reached the strength of life, and there is not much strength left: "I like your granddaughter very much, leave her the most precious thing in my life, not only for me, but also for my wife, I hope you understand......"

Before he could say the following words, Old Man Leng had already shook his head and signaled that there was no need to say anything: "I understand, don't worry, your Gu Yuxuan will definitely be taken care of." ”

Getting his words, the old man finally exhaled heavily, as if the whole person had disappeared, and then looked at Yunxi, and his voice was soft: "Girl, come here." ”

Yunxi leaned over, and before she could speak, a small key was pushed in front of her by the old man, with shallow satisfaction in her voice: "It's all handed over to you." ”

After speaking, before Yunxi could react, his sparkling eyes suddenly darkened.

Everyone was stunned.

Old man, ...... gone. Yunxi saw Grantham gently close the old man's eyes, and the whole room fell silent.

The key in her hand was so painful that her palm was sore, and she exhaled softly, turned and left the room.

Leng Xun wanted to keep up, but who knew that one person moved faster than him.

Grantham saw Yunxi alone at the handrail of the stairs twenty meters outside the ward, looking into the distance with no expression on his face.

"Are you sad?" After all, he had only met a few times, and although he also felt that the old man's life was quite hard, he did not find his death unacceptable. After all, everyone has such a step, but it is only a matter of time.

Yunxi looked at him with an incomprehensible look on his face, and laughed at himself: "Think I'm a little too hypocritical? ”

She stretched out her hands and looked at the key that the old man had pushed to her at the last moment, and there was a ripple in her eyes, ignoring Grantham's reaction, and turned back to the ward.

In the room, the old man's relatives had been mentally prepared when the doctor announced a few days ago that they could prepare for the afterlife, so although they were all sad, there was no human affection out of control.

Seeing that she was stable and good, she only glanced at it slightly.

Due to the early preparations, the funeral was handled very properly, and there was nothing wrong.

Grantham's visit to Beijing this time was accidental, and he didn't plan to stay for a long time, and when the dust settled after the old man's death, he and Yunxi resigned and prepared to go to the United States.

Yunxi held the small key and looked at his dark blue eyes, "Come with me to Gu Yuxuan." ”

Because he is rarely in China, and he is not very familiar with China's specific policies, Grantham originally planned to leave Gu Yuxuan's decision to Yunxi, at most to help her when she needs help, but Yunxi seems to be a little uncertain during this time, so he can only drive all the way to Gu Yuxuan with her.

The street is still in the same position, but some of the facades that I saw at the beginning seem to have been moved, and this house, which at first glance looks a little old, stands out.

The two of them took the key to open the door, walked around the ancient tree, and paused slightly before entering the back room.

In the small bucket room, a qiē furnishings are still the same.

It's just an old shop that's just making ends meet.

At least, that's what it looks like on the surface.

It's just that the blood inkstone that the old man took to Yunxi from the storage room seemingly casually was very expensive, and it didn't feel like it could be owned by ordinary antique stores.

Yunxi followed the traces of the old man, bypassed the small courtyard, and walked to the storage room.

This room seems to be smaller than the room just now, only fastened with an old lock, it looks a little desolate, I am afraid that the thief sees such a place, and he is not even in the mood to stay, let alone burglary.

There is only one key in the hand, which is still used to open the door. The old man didn't give his brother or nephew any other keys, Yunxi thought about it, and with some hesitation, he inserted the key to open the door into the lock hole.

"Squeak" –

With a slight sound, the door lock was opened.

Grantham was stunned, he had never seen such a hassle-free. The keys to the two doors turned out to be the same one, and now you are sure that no one will come to steal anything? Protective measures are too rudimentary, aren't they?

However, before he could shake his head and express his playfulness, the dusty stones in front of him reflected his face green.

What's going on?

A room with a big rock, and there is not even a place to stay.

No wonder no one comes to patronize this storage room, even if they open the lock, they will turn around and leave.

Yunxi looked at the small room, her eyes gently brushing over the corners, looking for what she needed.

Soon, on the east window, she saw a gray mark, unlike those huge stones, there was not the slightest dust on this mark, just a natural gray, and when the sun shone, it actually had a smooth feeling.

She stepped on the stones, little by little, and stroked back and forth, but found nothing wrong.

Frowning, he was about to return the way he came, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he followed the mark all the way down the wall.

Just below the mark, there was a slightly smaller stone, which looked the same as the others, but when her hand touched the back of the stone, the two largest stones in the room suddenly turned around, and stone steps appeared in the vacant place.

Grantham at the door was stunned, and when he looked again, he found that there was a secret room under this storage room.

The two looked at each other, no one said a word, followed the stone steps under the stone, took out his mobile phone, and walked down.

The underground room is not ventilated all year round, and the air is filled with a complex smell, I thought that the size would be about the same as the storage room above, but when I came in, I found that there was a different world.

The old man was actually underground, opening up the entire yard, and even the underground of the bucket just now.

Due to the lack of light, the two were so close to each other with their mobile phones that they could even hear each other's breathing.

Suddenly, Yunxi tripped over something, unsteadily, and the whole person rushed forward, and he didn't know what he pressed, and with a "snap", the entire basement lit up at once.

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't believe that the old man had arranged a qiqi in the secret room, and even installed electric lights.

Now that the lights are on, the sight is naturally much better.

Yunxi and Grantham looked around, no matter how good their concentration was, they couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

There are rectangular high-platform cabinets everywhere on all sides, and the dark green jade, a piece of psychic ancient jade, and a round round pearl are displayed in turn, if it is not carefully wrapped with a transparent film, I am afraid that the treasure light in this room can shine dazzling.

It wasn't until this moment that Yunxi and Grantham really understood why the old gentleman must give this Gu Yuxuan to them before he died.

The ancients said: The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Without a certain background, how can such a treasure be kept?

It's just that how did an educated youth who went to the mountains and the countryside get these priceless things?

This mystery, the two of them couldn't figure it out for a while.

Yunxi leaned in front of a jade statue and slowly sowed the protective film on the outside.

I saw that the emerald green luster seemed to be shaking, imprinting her pupils little by little, as if her eyes were dyed with a layer of green.

Even Grantham, who was accustomed to seeing royal jewels, couldn't help but step forward and reach out and touch it.

The shot is cool, like an ancient well ice spring. Such a treasure, I'm afraid that Yunxi's piece of blood inkstone is placed here, and it is just an ordinary product.

The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, it was such a big burden next.

I don't know if the group of people in the Tang family really know the old man's worth.

Putting the protective film back on the jade, the two of them returned the same way according to the route, returned to the courtyard, and slowly exhaled deeply.

"What are you going to do?" Grantham hesitated, if he took out all these gems, there was no doubt that Gu Yuxuan would definitely have a big business, not to mention the fame of the whole country, at least this Beijing city can definitely be counted. But there will be no less trouble with it.

None of the connoisseurs will be simple characters.

There is only such a big old house, and there are so many jade stones of amazing color, and when others casually say that you are a national cultural relic dug out of the ground, you really can't refute it.

God knows, these things really have been stored underground all along.

It stands to reason that if it is determined to be a cultural relic excavated, it is state-owned property, and at most some rewards will be given, and the rest must be handed over to the public.

So, it's imperative to find a way to bleach the way these things came from.

At least, on the bright side, there must be a normal way to come, which explains why there are so many treasures in a small antique shop in the old alley.

Grantham put the key back in Yunxi's hand and walked back and forth a few steps, finally his eyes fixed on the old tree.

Although no one will turn away such a windfall, there will be no fewer follow-up problems brought by such a splash of wealth, neither he nor Leng Yunxi are people who are short of money, if they gamble on being framed for "embezzling national property" for the sake of a promise, there is no place to redress.

"What do you think?" He turned his head and glanced at Yunxi, who was looking at the old tree in a daze.

At this moment, her hand was loosely holding the key, and her expression was cold and calm: "I will find a way to make Gu Yuxuan famous." ”

"Why?" Grantham couldn't understand her train of thought, how the person who was originally reluctant to take over the old antique shop had changed his temperament in a blink of an eye. Did you really fall in love with this large number of curiosities?

Yunxi was motionless, his eyes stared directly at the thick old tree trunk, and for a long time, a soft light flashed under his eyes: "I am not sorry for the old man's death, but sad for his love." ”
