Chapter 34: The Boy

In fact, Lin Zaichuan recognized Xu Mingyi at the first sight, because his clear eyes, which had not been concealed, were as stubborn and alert as when he was a child, revealing youthful frivolity.

So at this time, the importance of acting can be reflected. If the full score is 100 points, then Gu Chuan will at least enter the play to 99 points.

This made Lin Zaichuan puzzled, it was clear that the Xu family was defeated by the invasion of foreign troops five or six years ago, and Xu Mingyi's embarrassed appearance did not seem to come out of nowhere, but why did this person still have a pair of hateful eyes even though he was suffering a lot?

Lin Zaichuan's hand was on the sandalwood box, and he was confused for a moment. All he wants now is fame and fortune. The book says: "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. How many people say this with sarcasm and ridicule, but what's wrong? If it's not fame and fortune, how can you be a husband?

When he was young, he was the one who was praised a lot. To this day, he still remembers what his mother said when she was critically ill: "Chuan'er has been very competitive since she was a child, knows how to aspire to study, works hard, glorifies her ancestors, looks at the mountains, plays all day long, and is stubborn, how can people rest assured!" He promised his mother that he would take care of his young brother, but within a few years, the younger brother would take his treasure, the green dragon wooden box, and run away from home. Sandalwood, also known as green dragon wood, can ward off evil spirits, and is very precious. And the sandalwood carved box in his hand was pointed out by Sweet, an adult from England, and it is said that it flowed out of the Old Summer Palace that year, and there was a treasure map hidden in it.

Now the box is in hand, and only a key to open the box is owed. If you want to get the key, you might as well use Xu Mingyi when the time comes.

Lin Zaichuan has not liked Xu Mingyi since he was a child, because the two of them are diametrically opposed, Lin Zaichuan is hard-working, but he is mediocre; Although Xu Mingyi eats, drinks and has fun all day long, Lin Zaichuan needs two hours to memorize the content, and Xu Mingyi only needs to watch it for two quarters of an hour. This contrast made Lin Zaichuan very jealous.

However, there is nothing to worry about these old things. Lin Zaichuan's mouth pursed a smile, after all, he is the powerful person at the moment, although I don't know what happened to Xu Mingyi over the years that caused him to be decadent, but what he should take back, he must take it back one by one, and let him taste what it was like to be humiliated and ridiculed as a nerd back then.

After a while, Xu Mingyi came back dryly and neatly. What surprised Lin Zaichuan slightly was that the other party actually cut the original unkempt long hair short, although it was obviously self-inflicted, and the uneven hair made people feel ridiculous.

The two looked at each other, and they also understood that the other party recognized them.

Gu Chuan looked at Lin Zaichuan and pondered in his heart, with Xu Mingyi's character, in the face of the old man, the young man's spirit would definitely come back. The pain of the death of his parents has long faded in the years of grinding, and he has really found something interesting when he is in a state of confusion all day. So Gu Chuan looked at Lin Zaichuan with a smile, and asked with a little temptation: "Brother Lin hasn't seen you for many years, and you have spent a lot of trouble for this box, I don't know what is special about it?" ”

Lin Zaichuan smiled slightly, "Brother Xu smiled, it's just that he is working for a foreign businessman in Sichuan now, and he likes Chinese treasures very much, so he asked me to find some exquisite and interesting ones for him." ”

Gu Chuan's face remained unchanged, and he secretly wondered in his heart, twenty or thirty years ago, the Western England used artillery and opium to blast open the customs of the Qing Dynasty, and a year or two ago, the Eight-Nation Alliance of Rausch burned the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, but today some people are ashamed to say that they are working for a foreign businessman, and they are really shameless for fame and fortune. But naturally this could not be said, the two pretended to greet each other for a long time, and it was getting late, so Lin Zaichuan arranged a side room for Gu Chuan to rest.

In the middle of the night, Gu Chuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He has been wandering for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to sleeping in the open air, and now he has such a good room, and he is refreshed, but he is anxious and worried because of the few words he said to Lin Zaichuan during the day.

- This should be Xu Mingyi's state of mind. But in fact, Gu Chuan couldn't sleep over and over again because he was really bored, and he didn't dance the plot after such a long night?

Just as Gu Chuan was secretly thinking, someone pushed open the door and tiptoed into the room. Gu Chuan pretended to be asleep when he heard the movement, and secretly did not move, only listening to what the man was looking for, although the movement was light, there was also a noisy sound, and after a while, it seemed that he had not found it, and the man was silent for a moment. Gu Chuan was about to get up, but his wrist was buckled, and the knife was held against his neck, he stiffened, and he heard the humanitarian: "Say, where is the sandalwood box!" ”

The voice was clearly a young man, faintly hoarse, very familiar. With a flash of inspiration, Gu Chuan knew that this person was the young man who threw the package to him on the outskirts of the city that night!

Gu Chuan adjusted his mood and said, "The box is not in my hand. ”

"Where's that?" Voice anxiety.

"Lin Zaichuan."

The boy was visibly slightly surprised and annoyed when he heard the name. Gu Chuan spoke again: "Can you ask, why are you all so obsessed with the sandalwood carved box, although the sandalwood is noble, it doesn't end here, right?" ”

The boy said impatiently: "What do you know! For me, the focus is not on the box itself, I'm just trying to mess around my brother's bullshit! ”

When he heard the word "brother", Gu Chuan was stunned for a moment. He desperately recalled the synopsis, and then said in an uncertain tone, "Xiaoshan? ”

The boy was silent for a moment.

Gu Chuan couldn't cry or laugh, he gently pushed away the dagger, got out of bed and lit the oil lamp, pointed at his face in the light and smiled: "Do you still recognize brother?" ”

Lin Zaishan looked at it for a long time before he hesitated: "Brother Xu? ”

"I don't think I did. Tell me what's going on? ”

Lin and Xu lived next to each other in the early years, and Lin Zaichuan, the eldest brother of the Lin family, has always studied hard, not mixing with the stubborn life of his younger brother and Xu Mingyi, the only son of the Xu family. Most of the time, Lin Zaishan and Xu Mingyi mingled together, eating, drinking and having fun, and had the posture of a little devil, and the relationship between the two was also extremely good.

At this moment, the two recognized each other in this situation, and they sighed with emotion.

Lin Zaishan said angrily that over the years, the eldest brother has become mercenary, and his face is ugly. A few months ago, he learned that his eldest brother was going to do business with foreigners, so he did everything possible to steal the wooden box and escape. Who knew that this box was coveted by many people, and it was a blessing that he fought and killed all the way, and he was not killed or injured.

Gu Chuan's heart turned sharply, and soon he had a plan in his chest.

He pulled Lin Zaishan to mutter, and when dawn approached, Lin Zaishan left, and he blew out the oil lamp and lay down to rest.

But for Gu Chuan, the moment he closed his eyes, he realized-

It's time to start jumping the plot again.

He prepares himself for the next round of drama.

Now I understand why many people don't like to do role-playing tasks, because once there is a blank time, they jump the plot, maybe the whole plot goes down, and the whole time does not exceed 24 hours, but these 24 hours, the anchor has no rest time at all.
