Chapter 76: The Mirror of Truth
The treasure excavation went more smoothly than Li Mu imagined. After priing the large stone open with a crowbar and digging a three-meter-deep hole in the ground, an old wooden box was dug up.
Manid and Mama Tea snorted and carried the box out.
"Whew, it's so heavy, I don't know what's in it, it's so heavy." Mama Tea pulled the box out of the pit and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Just open it and look at it." Li Mu split the embroidered iron lock on the top of the box with an axe, and then opened the lid of the box.
The old wooden box actually contained a small iron box.
"Hey, it's still a box inside, it must be a good thing inside, otherwise the package is so tight." Mama Tea rolled up her sleeves and lifted the iron box out of the old wooden box, and then took out a wire from her arms and slowly fiddled with the lock on the iron box.
"It's all rusty, why do you work so hard. Get out of the way, let me do it. Manid picked up a hammer and pushed the tea away, smashing the lock twice.
"Look at how easy it is." Manid said smugly. "By the time you're done, dinner will be cold."
"Vulgar people, you are not allowed to insult the great art of lockpicking. This is a game of wisdom in the air, a dialogue between latecomers and sages, and people like you will not understand. Mama Tea flashed her middle finger at Manid.
"Okay, a lock picking is still talking so artistic, see what's inside." Kress impatiently pushed the two of them away and opened the iron box.
As soon as the lid of the iron box was opened, it revealed a bright, golden, glowing copper box inside......
"How many layers of boxes are there, and I can't hold much of what this box looks like." Mama Tea looked at the copper box and said with a painful face.
"It doesn't matter how many layers it has, open it up when it's here, don't you want to know what's in so many layers of boxes?" Jamila pushed a handful of Mama tea, "Hurry up and open it, I'll have to make dinner when I'm done, it's not too early." β
Mama Tea looked at the sunset that was about to set, and reluctantly took the wire in her hand and continued to tinker with the lock on the copper box.
With a "click", the copper lock fell to the ground. Mama Tea then retreated, "Which of you will open it, I'm afraid it's still a box inside." β
"I'll do it anyway." Joanna crouched down in front of the copper box and gently opened the lid, and sure enough, a silver box was revealed.
"It's still a box."
"No, do you see the box?"
"Is there a difference?"
"Doesn't it make a difference?"
"Stupid, you two don't quarrel, don't you see that it's not locked this time?"
"Hey, that's true."
Joanna held the silver box in front of Li Mu, "Boss, you should open it." β
Li Mu didn't shirk either, and directly opened the silver box, revealing what was insideβa gold mirror.
"It's actually a mirror, Saint King Henry spent so much effort just to bury a mirror, it's too boring, he won't be making fun of his juniors." Mama Tea is a little dissatisfied with the harvest.
"Looking at the pattern is an antique, those nobles should like to collect, and it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money." Manid said, studying the pattern on the mirror.
"This silver box is very good-looking, I keep it as a souvenir, and the price will be deducted from the trophy." Jamila picked up the silver box on the floor and played with it in her hand. She especially likes to collect such beautiful bottles and cans.
"Hey, Mama Cha, you're not wearing underwear." Li Mu raised the mirror in front of him and said to Mama Tea.
"Ah, boss, how do you know?" Mama Cha immediately threw away the shovel in her hand and covered her vital parts, "How did you know about this, is it ......?"
"Boss, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." Manid also took a step back, "While you're nice to us, that doesn't include what you can do to me. β
", how could I be interested in you, my orientation is normal." Li Mu kicked Mama Cha's ass.
"Ah, could it be that a mirror can see through people's clothes, ah~" Jamila reacted the fastest, instantly covering her chest.
Several other ladies also covered their vital points and took two steps back.
"How is it possible, just kidding you, how can there be a mirror in the world that can see through clothes." Li Mu raised his hand and flipped the mirror over, "I don't believe you can see for yourself." β
Jamila clutched her chest as she slowly moved forward, "I warn you, boss, I'm very upright, don't try to sneak attack." β
"Am I as bad as you think? This mirror is the mirror of truth left by the Holy King Henry, and it is used to see through the illusion and detect invisible enemies. As he spoke, Li Mu handed over the mirror.
Jamila took the mirror and looked at it repeatedly, finally finding the inscription on the mirror.
"I see. But boss, how did you find out that Mama Cha was not wearing underwear. Jamila breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the authenticity, and asked the question in her mind.
"There was a hole in the back of his pants, and I could see it. Mama tea, don't you feel cold in the back? Li Mu smiled at Mamacha.
Mama Cha touched back and sure enough, there was a hole in the back of his pants, and he was suddenly angry, "Manid, you cheated me, there is a hole in the pants lent to me, are you here to see me make a fool of yourself?" β
"You don't frame good people, when I lent you it, it was obviously a good pants, and I haven't asked you for a wear fee, if you don't want to wear it, return it to me." With that, Manid rushed up to snatch back the pants he had lent to Mamacha. The two men scuffled together.
"Oh my God, it's dirty." Jamila quickly covered her eyes with both hands, and then showed two fingers to observe the situation outside, her cheeks were crimson, and her breath became rapid. She felt like she had stepped into a new world.
Li Mu looked at Jamila suspiciously, not knowing what the other party had in his mind.
Li Mu didn't want to worry about the emotional problems of these three people, so let them go with the flow, Li Mu shook his head and put away the mirror, "Come over quickly after you guys are done, it's not early, it's time to make dinner, I have to go back tomorrow, and I have to rest early today." After saying that, he first walked towards the sea.
"You fight slowly, I'll go first." Joanna followed Li Mu with her hands behind her back and left the scene in a jump.
"It's inexplicable." Kress watched as the two men scuffling on the ground turned and left.
The sun was setting, and the shadows of several people were stretched for a long time. No one knows what happened on this desert island.
