Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Box

After returning to Haitang Courtyard, Su Wan slept at night and during the day, and rested for three days in a row.

This time it wasn't that she was deliberately lazy in bed, but that she really couldn't get up, her whole body was stiff and she didn't say anything, and it hurt when she moved.

Hongzhu and the doctor learned the techniques of massage, and massaged Su Wan several times a day, which was sour and refreshing, and it almost cost Su Wan his life.

Mama Lin and Green Yi are similar, the former is worse than Su Wan, with injuries on his body, which can not be recovered in a day or two, and the latter is slightly better, mainly because of the problems in his legs and feet, which need to be well maintained.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoqi, who had not seen anyone for several days, came back.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Lu Xiaoqi looked at Su Wan's pitiful appearance, and muttered in his heart, it turned out that his temporary master also had bad luck.

"It's ok, not dead"

Su Wan, who was already able to get out of bed and lay on his soft collapse, clearly saw Lu Xiaoqi's eyes, and replied angrily.

Lu Xiaoqi touched his nose, a little weak-hearted.

"What's the news lately?" Su Wan asked.

"Yes," Lu Xiaoqi suddenly said solemnly.

The atmosphere became serious all of a sudden, and Su Wan waited for Lu Xiaoqi to speak.

"The slave maid found this in the house in Willow Lane"

Lu Xiaoqi said as he took out a large slap box, which was pitch black.

Su Wan stretched out his hand to take the box and found that although the box was not big, it was heavy.

Fingers swiped across the box, and Su Wan raised her eyebrows.

"Why is it a little moist to the touch?" Su Wan asked.

In fact, she wanted to say, this box can't be dug out of nowhere, otherwise how could the skin be so moist.

And the facts are just as Su Wan guessed.

"The slave maid told you that there is a begonia tree in the house in Yangliu Lane, and a few days ago, when the second master went to Lanruo Temple, the slave maid sneaked in and found this box in the soil under the begonia tree," Lu Xiaoqi said.

"From the slave's point of view, this box was buried there for less than ten years, wrapped by the roots of the tree, if it wasn't for the different material of the box, it should have been destroyed by the roots a long time ago," Lu Xiaoqi said again.

Su Wan turned the box over and over again, listened to Lu Xiaoqi's words, and spoke for a while.

"How did you find the begonia tree at its roots?" Su Wan asked.

Her first question was not why a box had been buried under the begonia tree for ten years, but how Lu Xiaoqi found the box.

Generally speaking, there are begonia trees in her yard, and there are also begonia trees in the house in Yangliu Lane, so the begonia trees have a certain particularity.

Lu Xiaoqi can think of digging under the begonia tree, which is normal.

But the problem is that, according to Lu Xiaoqi's own words, this box has been surrounded by tree roots because it has been buried for too long.

If it weren't for a purposeful 'close' inspection, even if you were trying to find something under the begonia tree, it would have been difficult to find this box.

"Intuition," Lu Xiaoqi said calmly.

Of course she could hear that Su Wan was suspicious of her.

But there are some things that are not clear.

"And the slave maid didn't just dig this place in that house, and ruled out many other possibilities," Lu Xiaoqi continued.

Su Wan nodded, the word intuition is a good reason.

Looking back at the box, Su Wan was even more puzzled.

"Are you sure this is a box, the kind that can hold things?" Su Wan asked.

In your hand, let's call it a box for the time being.

On the surface, there are no gaps, no keyholes or anything, and the whole thing is like a piece of black wood.

Su Wan tried for a while, but didn't know how to open it at all.

"It's really a box, and it's a thousand boxes, and it can only be opened if you find the right switch," Lu Xiaoqi said.

Thousands of machine locks, Su Wan has seen it on the tree, and only a few skilled craftsmen can make it.

And Lu Xiaoqi said that finding the right switch is only possible to turn it on.

Because they are not sure whether the box can be opened directly after finding the switch, or whether they need another key to open it after finding the switch.

"Since you know that this is a thousand receivers, do you have a way to open it, or a countermeasure?" Su Wan asked.

With this box in his hand, Su Wan has no way at all, so it is impossible to try it by luck.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaoqi just shook his head.

"Otherwise, you can find a craftsman to try, but I'm afraid it's a waste of effort, ordinary craftsmen, now few can open the thousand machine locks in a short time, and some don't even know about this thing," Lu Xiaoqi suggested.

It can be seen that Su Wan is a little anxious, otherwise she would not have made an appointment with her for a month.

But where is the Qianji lock so easy to open, Lu Xiaoqi only gave a seemingly feasible suggestion.

"I'll try," Su Wan said after a moment of silence.

Lu Xiaoqi looked at Su Wan unexpectedly, Su Wan even had to use someone like her who didn't know the details, but she didn't expect that there were craftsmen who could give it a try.

"Could it be that there is someone in the Su family who can give it a try?" Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help asking.

The Su family's family background is not that they can't afford to raise a craftsman who can open thousands of machine locks, but it doesn't seem to be necessary.

"I don't know about this, it's just that I accidentally met a craftsman who looks very powerful before," Su Wan said with a chuckle.

During the Douqiao Competition, Su Wan had met a Master Ge.

Although I don't know what Master Ge's level is, as soon as the title of 'craftsman' came out at that time, Master Ge's smile at that time let Su Wan know that Master Ge is very confident in his craft, otherwise he would not be so happy to accept this title.

Moreover, if Master Ge can preside over the Douqiao Competition, he must have the strengths of being good at and being recognized, Su Wanchai is Master Ge's craft.

While all of the above is speculation, it's always okay to try.

In fact, in addition to Master Ge, Su Wan also had a method that could be tried, but as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he was excluded by Su Wan.

"You go find a Master Ge, and when I can leave the house in a few days, I will meet him," Su Wan said.

"Yes," Lu Xiaoqi replied sharply.

"In addition, there is one more thing," Lu Xiaoqi said again.

Su Wan looked at Lu Xiaoqi curiously.

"Don't you have any money again, you don't have to tell me, just find the green clothes and withdraw it directly," Su Wan said.

Lu Xiaoqi's work is irreplaceable for others in Haitang Courtyard, and it is convenient to withdraw money, and Su Wan is quite generous.

Of course, the amount of silver must be within the range that Su Wan can bear.

"The silver is to be withdrawn, but what the slave wants to say is not about the silver," Lu Xiaoqi said.

Being interrupted by Su Wan like this, Lu Xiaoqi felt a little sad, could it be that in Su Wan's opinion, she is a person who only asks for silver when she opens her mouth and closes her mouth.

"Oh, then you say" Su Wan nodded and said, completely ignoring the slight expression on Lu Xiaoqi's face.

"I heard that Miss has been lying down for three days, but someone will give you an explanation?" Lu Xiaoqi asked.
