Chapter 405: The Dowry Box
The fat man was a little excited at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, so he walked slowly towards the door of that old age.
When I got to the door, I saw that the door was not locked, and the chain was wrapped around a bolt several times, and there were already a lot of rust marks on the chains.
Zou Hanhui walked to him, and directly bypassed the chains on it slowly, after the door was opened, there was a feeling of entering the tomb, this house is really just like Zou Hanhui said, it has not been opened for more than ten years, think about a room that has not been opened for more than ten years, if the window is also closed, it is really no different from the tomb.
Extrapolating from the time, when the fat man was a teenager, his mother passed away, and I don't know what I can leave him, I actually feel that there are many strange things in the fat man from time to time, but I can't say what is abnormal.
For example, the black mallet that is still pinned to the crotch of this thing, and the kind of see-through perception, if these things have anything to do with his disappearance for twenty years, it would be fine, but if it is for other reasons, it will fall into a very complicated situation, and it must have something to do with the fat man's deceased mother.
After all, this kind of thing belongs to the deep privacy of the fat man, just like the thing that happened to me, even if it is a fat man, I will not talk to him about the things of my father and starling brother and the seventh sister, these things are not the kind of things that need to be shared with others, the less people know about these things, the greater the protection for them.
I naturally understand this truth, so there are some things I never ask the fat man, because once many things are asked, it will put the relationship into a dilemma, which is like borrowing money, as long as you open your mouth, it is a test of feelings, this borrowing is not, not borrowing is not, even if you borrow it kindly, it is another thing whether the other party changes it or not, and it is not that others don't want to pay it back, but that he really can't afford to change it if he really smashes the pot and sells iron, or after paying it back, it will directly affect his own life.
So this relationship is naturally embarrassing, in fact, as far as borrowing money is concerned, my personal principle is that I generally don't borrow, and I never plan to ask for it when I lend it, so I don't need to mention big money, and it doesn't matter if it's small money.
The fat man walked in first, the smell in the room was indeed a bit big, but a group of people who walked in the tomb all the year round naturally got used to this, even if the wall was thick, it was definitely not as good as the inside of the ancient tomb, doors and windows and the like, it could not be absolutely sealed, so there was no need to consider air quality and other problems at all.
When I walked into this room, it felt a bit like the first time I entered the basement of that villa, and I actually felt a little panicked, only to feel cold inside, although the late autumn in the north is indeed quite cold, but the cold in this room is not the normal cold.
It's the cold feeling, like the feeling of entering a cellar or a morgue all at once.
The room is not big, it is about 70 square meters, there are a lot of things piled up in it, most of them are some very simple furniture and the like, the quality is not very good, more than ten years of time have passed, it has long been decayed, it belongs to the kind that will be broken when touched.
The fat man squinted his eyes and looked inside for a while, this posture of turning over the boxes and cabinets, but he didn't feel sorry for those old furniture at all, and there was really nothing to feel sorry for, so he dug it in for about two minutes, and in these old furniture piles, the fat man actually dug out a very old box.
I recognize this box, when the girl gets married, the mother's family will prepare such a big box, which is filled with dowry, until now many remote areas and ethnic minorities have retained this traditional custom, it is a dowry box, also called the dowry box, commonly known as the dragon and phoenix dowry box in the folk, starting from one of the three treasures necessary for the wedding dowry.
Generally, this kind of box is not cheap, the better the economic conditions, the higher the material of the box, and even the dowry box of golden silk nanmu is a lot, in addition to the coffin, the most pursuit of quality in the wood industry is this dowry box.
The dowry box must be red, there must be a dragon and a phoenix on it, indicating the combination of yin and yang, the meaning of the dragon and phoenix is auspicious, and the dowry box contains in addition to gold and silver jewelry, but also some necessities of life, such as matchbox salt or something, and these two things are also necessary things, so in ancient times, matches belonged to the kind that could be prepared for several years at one time.
But what makes people have to feel strange is that the longer it is shelved with the dowry box, the more terrifying it is, especially the dowry box that is pressed under the bed all the year round.
The red sandalwood box was originally used for coffins, which was used in marriage, and it seems that there is no way to change its essence, that is, after a long time, it can attract things, so some people will hide the money in the dowry box in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
When I looked at this dowry box, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but the fat man was excited, so he hurriedly called us to come over and help carry the box out.
And after the box was lifted, the fat man had little interest in what was left in the room.
The box was placed in front of the courtyard in the middle of the teahouse, the fat man looked at the box, and actually cried loudly, which was called a tear, and after a while, Zou Hanhui on the side also hummed and chirped.
I'm so uncomfortable in my heart, it's not sad or anything, I don't feel anything about maternal love at all, so I can't experience the psychology of a fat man, but this atmosphere is quite sad.
After the fat man cried for a while, he knelt directly on the ground against the box, and said to Zou Hanhui while shedding tears: "Go and help me give my mother a few sticks of incense." ”
Zou Hanhui ran out after answering, and when the fat man cried and cried, and the incense was finished, I waited to let the box be opened, but the fat man didn't mean to open the box at all, and there were two big head locks on the box.
At night we lived directly in this teahouse, the rooms inside are completely in accordance with the hotel to decorate, the fat man at night actually ran to my door, I was quite puzzled, seeing that he held back for a long time and did not say what he wanted to say, I asked directly, and finally this goods opened his mouth, actually to borrow money from me.
When asked what he was going to do, the answer was quite simple, that is, to buy a house, to buy a house in Beijing......
I asked him what he was doing when he bought a house? This guy's answer also made me almost slow down in one breath, the answer is just three words, put the box!
