Chapter 142: An Inexplicable Box
The middle-aged man lowered his eyebrows and came in with a wooden barrel, Li Yan looked at him, subconsciously straightened his back, and a feeling that something was going to happen came to his face.
Li Yan's heart moved, Yushu immediately felt it, stepped forward, and stopped in front of the middle-aged man, "Just put it here." ”
"Yes." The man agreed obediently, bent his legs and bent over, carefully put the wooden barrel full of eighty percent on the floor, slid his hand down to the floor, and around the wooden barrel, he pushed a swarthy and not too small box in the direction of Li Yan, "Chef Liu instructed the small one to ask the eldest lady to show me: How many good Yellow River carp have been obtained in the kitchen, is it braised in the braised water?" Sauce or soup? ”
"How can there be Yellow River carp here?" Li Yan watched as the man's fingers tapped a few times on the box.
"Miss Hui, it's from the capital." The man retracted his hand.
Yushu stepped forward to move the barrel, and her skirt covered the box.
"If you come from the capital, just follow the practices of the capital, forget it, let your chef Liu go and ask your seventeenth master to show you, how to eat Yellow River carp, he must know better than me."
The man looked at Yushu out of the corner of his eyes and put away the box, agreed, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head and retreated.
Li Yan, as usual, drank decoction, soaked his feet and read a book, and shook back and forth in the cabin more than ten times, and went to bed.
Yushu took away the smoke cage in the quilt, put down the tent, spread out the futon and slept in front of Li Yan's bed.
Li Yan closed his eyes, listened to the sound of rushing water for a while, groped under the pillow with his hand, and found the iron box. Fingers ran their fingers along the iron box, and if it weren't too light, it would have been a complete piece of cast iron.
...... from the capital can be delivered to her so quietly, how did Zhou Rui do it?
No wonder Pei Qing wanted her to die, but he didn't dare to do it anyway, beside him, his cloudy villa didn't seem to be all under his control, and he knew about such a situation......
This is something from the back lake of Li Mansion, she knows it when she touches it, but how to open this thing? What is it for? What is it?
Li Yan carefully touched the iron box again, Yushu looked at it, and said that it was all one, and it looked the same as touching......
Li Yan knocked lightly a few times, and the box made a dull and empty sound, and it was empty inside, it was iron, smashed open? It's not good on the boat, it's too much movement...... Li Yan was thinking crankily while touching, his fingers suddenly slumped, and the fingers that were slowly sliding suddenly paused, slowly touched back, and then touched carefully, there was a very small nick.
Li Yan pressed his fingers on the nick, stayed for a moment, his hand fell on the mattress, touched it little by little, and sure enough, he touched a very fine and very small particle, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, I can't say why, until now, she still doesn't want something unexplainable to happen to her.
Touching the fallen particles, Li Yan was relieved, his fingers touched the subtle nick, slowly picked a few times with his nails, paused, turned over and lifted the curtain, "I didn't wash my hair yesterday, my scalp is itchy, give me a hairpin." ”
Picking out his fingernails, he couldn't find them for a while, but Pei Qing saw it, and with his shrewdness, he would definitely be able to search for her by rummaging through the cabinets.
"Yes." Yushu looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan yelled at her, "Find a good one." Yushu understood, opened the makeup box, picked a small hairpin that was hard and small, with a few sapphires embedded on his head, and handed it to Li Yan.
Li Yan took it, Yushu folded the tent again, Li Yan fell asleep quietly on his side, holding a hairpin in his hand, and from the nick, he was frustrated outward little by little.
The dirt and rust marks accumulated on the iron box were not strong, and it didn't take long for Li Yan to grind out a small piece, rub his fingers on it, and the thin lines swirled, as if they were not complicated, and after touching it a few times, Li Yan suddenly stopped, this line seemed to be familiar to her!
Li Yan reached out to the jade leaf hanging around his neck, and the lines of the jade leaf were almost the same as those on the box. Li Yan took off the jade leaves, groped for the lines on the box, and pressed the lines of the jade leaves into it, and the box popped open silently.
Li Yan stiffened, holding the open box with both hands, not daring to touch it again or move.
"Yushu, my head is still itching, let's see if the kitchen is fired, I want a bucket of hot water to wash my hair." Li Yan stiffened for a while, waited for someone to be calmer, and ordered Yushu in a low voice.
Yushu knew that something was wrong, agreed, got up and lit the lamp and candle, opened the door and asked for hot water, and when he came back to lift the tent, Li Yan's voice was the lowest, "It's open, I have to take a look." Before she saw what it was, she didn't dare to reach out and touch it, but now, in her arms, in the same bed with her, she was already very scared.
Yushu's heart suddenly lifted, he found a big dress to put on, and while waiting for Li Yan to get dressed, he asked in a low voice, "Can you still close it...... Don't worry, get a clean room? Leave it to me. ”
Li Yan put on his clothes, Yushu put the open box in the big clothes, opened the cabinet and took a piece of clothes, "The eldest lady has to wet her clothes every time she washes her hair, and the room is colder than the day at this time, so it's better to take the clothes in and change them." ”
Li Yan responded casually, followed behind Yushu, and dragged into the clean room as lazily as usual.
It didn't take long for the hot water to come in, Yushu carried it into the clean room, covered the door, and then blocked it with his body, Li Yan took out the box from the clothes, and in the box, there was a gold tray in the middle, and there was a piece of purple to black and amber on it, Li Yan stared at the pigeon-egg-sized, dusty thing, and his heart jumped tightly, this is her thing.
Li Yan slowly stretched out his hand, took off the thing that couldn't say anything, held it in the palm of his hand, grabbed it and released it, this is her thing, what is this?
"This?" Yushu Nuzui gestured to the box, and the box had to be hidden.
"Find a place to hide, have a chance to throw it into the river, it's useless." Li Yan held the thing in his hand and weighed where it should be placed, it was best to hang it around his neck and carry it with him like a jade leaf.
Li Yan gestured, Yushu understood, "Make a connection......
Yushu waited for Li Yan to wash his hair, Li Yan took a handkerchief and wiped his hair, Yushu found the silk thread, made the fastest and simplest loop to circle the thing, and hung it on the silk rope around Li Yan's neck together with the jade leaves.
When Li Yan dried his hair, changed the futon and fell asleep again, when he was already close to his son, he put his head on a pillow and fell asleep quickly. This sleep has never been more sound.
The next morning, when Li Yan woke up, the cabin was already bright, Yushu heard the movement and lifted the curtain, Li Yan sat up, raised his hand to touch the thing hanging on his neck, the Yushu leaves were still there, but the rope was empty.
