Lin Xiaowan didn't know Guo Chengling's abacus, so she took a beautiful bath, which was cool and comfortable, and the dryness and heat in her heart were gone.

It's rare to be so relaxed these days.

Don't want to work.

So Lin Xiaowan went to the supermarket, bought ice cream, and enjoyed it first.

Flattered.

Compared with Lin Xiaowan's freshness and cleanliness, Guo Chengling is completely different.

The dust stirred up by the collapsed roof wall rushed to his face, and in an instant his hair, face, and clothes turned into ashes, and even swallowed a lot of it in his mouth.

cough cough cough ......

Spit!

Guo Chengling made a gray face here, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone shouting: "I'll go, you see what this is!" ”

It was Luo Shanzi's voice.

Guo Chengling couldn't care about his miserable situation, so he wanted to step over and see what he saw, which made Luo Shanzi so excited.

As soon as he took a step, he heard Feng Youcai's voice coming.

"Don't move! Wait for Chengling to come back, such a good box, maybe what's in it, if it's missing or gone, we can't say. Feng Youcai said very cautiously.

Then I heard Luo Shanzi mutter: "He must not have known that there is a box hidden in this wall, otherwise he would have taken it away." If I hadn't looked at it, I might have thrown it away with all this mess. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Luo Quansheng reprimand: "What are you talking about, Shanzi!" We were hired to work and paid high wages. That's also trust us! Listen to what you mean, even if you ignore this thing, no one in the main family will know. ”

"That's not what I meant, uncle." Luo Shanzi argued, "I'm just curious and want to see." ”

As he was talking, Li Datou turned his head and saw Guo Chengling, and immediately said loudly: "Chengling is back, just right, come and take a look, smash a box out of the wall, exquisite." ”

Luo Shanzi cleared his throat in embarrassment, and then said, "Yes, yes, this is what I watched." We're talking about it, waiting for you to come back. ”

Guo Chengling naturally wouldn't break it, and said along the way: "Really? I didn't know there was a box hidden in the wall of my house. ”

Looking at the box handed over by Luo Shanzi, Guo Chengling's brows couldn't help frowning.

It was a wooden box, and you could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary. The fine wood, even if it has not left too many traces after years of dyeing, can still be seen that the years are not short.

Even in Guo Chengling's impression, there was no time when his stepfather dug up the wall and buried something.

After all, their family is surrounded by walls, but whenever there is a little change on the wall, he knows it clearly. It is said that when he was ten years old, his father-in-law was drunk and slammed into the wall, knocking out a small hole in the wall, which he found when he came back from outside.

asked with concern, and was scolded.

Therefore, the time of this wooden box must be more than 20 years.

Guo Chengling took the wooden box and said, "You guys are busy, I'll wash my face." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Just looked carefully at the wooden box and walked very slowly. It's a foot square, dark red, and you can see some textures. The outside of the wooden box was originally coated with wax, but the color changed over time, and after a toss just now, it peeled off a lot.

It is in this way that it is clearer to see the box as it is.

Guo Chengling took it in his hand and wiped it lightly with his sleeve, and he could see that the wooden box was engraved with patterns all over his body. It's just that some of the corners are worn, I don't know if it's like this before, or if it's just been smashed into this shape by earth and rock.

Looking down at the top and the end of the ornament, Guo Chengling fell into deep thought.

Like, where have you seen ......

It is a pattern of a flower, with five petals, each petal is in the shape of a sheep's hoof, and there are some spirals. This kind of flower Guo Chengling has seen before, and it is on a big tree. Except for the top one, the others are small and neatly arranged.

The carving is outstanding.

Guo Chengling couldn't help but sigh: This box alone is worth a fortune, right?

He still wondered where he had seen it. But after thinking about it, there was no result, and in the end I had to give up.

Since it's something in your own wall, open it and take a look.

There is a lock on the outside of the wooden box, but after these years, the lock has been corroded, Guo Chengling broke it with a little force, and when he opened it, he saw a bottom tray inside, covered with blue silk cloth. In the groove of the bottom bracket is an object that is wrapped in red silk cloth.

It's not an ordinary person's thing......

As soon as this idea came out, Guo Chengling laughed at himself: "This wooden box is not an ordinary person's thing." ”

Then the red silk cloth was opened, and what was placed inside was a jade pendant that was dripping green. The jade pendant is circular, and the pattern inside is exactly the same as on the wooden box.

Although he doesn't understand jade, he knows that this is definitely a good jade pendant.

At this time, Guo Chengling had many guesses in his heart, and the most of them were related to his life experience.

Not unusual.

Guo Chengling still remembers that when he went to the county a few years ago to exchange prey for money, he heard it when he heard people chatting, saying that the children of a certain adult family were lost when they were young, but fortunately, they carried the family token on their bodies, and they were only found after many years.

And this is a token of your identity, right?

It's just that Guo Chengling didn't feel happy that he might have an incomparably noble identity, but was thinking: "Old man, old man, why did you say you haven't sold this for so many years!" Even if I owe so many gambling debts, even I have one leg in it. ”

For a while, Guo Chengling turned around and walked in the other direction.

Whether it was a jade pendant or a wooden box, he didn't want the people of the Lin family to see it.

Guo Chengling didn't know what their reaction would be when they found out, and he didn't want to know. He feels that their life is very good now, and he does not aspire to be the son of a big family.

So many years have passed, and it doesn't matter for a long time.

He's just Guo Chengling, just a hunter, that's all.

While thinking, he walked to the near riverbank.

He held the ring-shaped jade pendant in one hand, and the wooden box in the other, standing on the shore with a solemn expression, and for a long time, Guo Chengling raised his hand......

Guo Chengling didn't notice that behind the grass more than ten meters away from him, Liu Yang and Lin Zhen Lin Zhen sat quietly, staring at the river intently, without saying a word.

Originally, Lin Zhen had been talking to Liu Yang, but the fish was about to be hooked several times, but because Lin Zhen's voice scared the fish away, he came for a long time, and he didn't catch a single fish.

Helpless, I could only think about it, catch one first, and Lin Zhen then preached.

Lin Zhen also felt that his face had nothing to do with it, what he said was the truth, but as a result, there was no result at all, and he couldn't hang his face?

Xu was staring at it for a long time, tired, Lin Zhen got up and stretched his waist, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Guo Chengling, holding something in his hand, and he was about to throw it into the water. immediately shouted: "Chengling, what are you doing?" ”

It doesn't matter if this shout, Liu Yanggang got up excitedly, lowered his voice and said, "It's coming, uncle!" ”

Then he saw a small patch of water floating on the surface of the river, and said with a wry smile: "It's over, I ran again." ”

Lin Zhen shouted distressedly: "My fish! ”

Liu Yang said: "Uncle, it was you who shouted just now, which scared the fish away again." ”

If you run away, forget it. Lin Zhen walked over to Guo Chengling and asked him what was wrong.

When Guo Chengling heard Lin Zhen's voice, he instantly retracted his hand, hid the jade pendant in his hand around his waist, only held the wooden box, watched Lin Zhen walk in, and said, "It's okay, Dad, I'm just here to wash my face." ”

"Yes, wash your face." Guo Chengling repeated again.

After that, he put the wooden box at his feet, then squatted down, bowed a handful of water, and washed all the dust off his face.

Lin Zhen kept looking at the wooden box that Guo Chengling put at his feet, looked at it for a long time, and only waited for Guo Chengling to get up and ask again.

However, I heard Liu Yang say: "What a delicate box, the patterns on it are really delicately carved, and the appearance of this redbud is really vivid." ”

Bauhinia?

Guo Chengling's tone was a little anxious, and he asked Liu Yang: "Do you recognize this pattern?" ”

Liu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it, I just know this flower." ”

Then Liu Yang said that he had seen an introduction to redbud flowers in the flora, and he had also seen redbud trees outside, which were very tall.

The tree full of flowers is beautiful.

Lin Zhen saw Guo Chengling like this, so he asked, "I saw you just now, I was going to throw away this wooden box." Where did such a delicate box come from? Why throw it away? ”

Guo Chengling didn't say it truthfully, but said: "This is what Shanzi found in the wall just now, and I don't know where it came from, maybe my father-in-law hid it back then." I also took it and looked at it, and I walked here unconsciously, just to wash my face. ”

"I didn't throw it, you must have read it wrong, Dad. I just stretched out my arms. ”

How could Lin Zhen care about Guo Chengling's nonsense, looking at his vague appearance, he knew that something must be wrong. However, Guo Chengling was reluctant to say, and he didn't ask much, but said: "I have to run so far to wash my face, so I don't wash it at home." ”

Then he pretended to complain and said, "They all scared me away." ”

Guo Chengling hurriedly grabbed the conversation and changed the topic: "Hey...... It's just that your craft is not good, or my son-in-law will show you two hands? ”

Lin Zhen scoffed: "Cut, I don't know who lost to me before." ”

Guo Chengling thought to himself: Let you, I can't see it.

Lin Zhen saw that Guo Chengling was not convinced, and said, "Tomorrow, get up early, let's compete again." ”

Guo Chengling naturally had no opinion, and said: "I won't let you this time!" ”

"Don't let you go, or you'll have something to say if you lose." Lin Zhen said with a smile. Before going back to continue fishing, he explained to Guo Chengling again, "Okay, my face has been washed, so let's go back and stare at it first." The ox cart also went over early to lead it, and the yard was cleaned up before dark. ”

"Okay." Guo Chengling responded.

Before leaving, I listened to Lin Zhen's instructions: "I think the box looks very good, stay it for Xiaowan, put a jewelry or something, it's good." ”
