Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Purple Gold Box
I was confused, I didn't know what was going on outside, and I wanted to ask the third uncle, but I found that he was also dozing off on the stool next to me, sleeping more dead than me. I ran outside the clinic and saw the people in the village pulling the carts and the mules and mules rushing to the mountains
I was taken aback, and said to myself, could it be that our fire just now burned the forest, and when I thought back to the time when we burned the cave just now, we really didn't do anything on the side, and if the fire spread and burned the forest, it really shouldn't be.
I was a little panicked in my heart, once this mountain fire burns out, it is not a matter of killing one or two people, we people in the city have no awareness of forest fire prevention at all, and this is a big disaster.
I ran in and hurriedly woke up the third uncle, and the two of them moved out two toilets for receiving urine in the hospital, and they couldn't find anything to do, so they ran to the mountains with the large army, and at this time the fat man ran over on a donkey cart, holding a basin in his hand and shouting: "It's a trouble, come up!" Hurry up and put out the fire!" We jumped up together, and the donkey cart went out of the village crookedly, only to see a large cloud of black smoke on the mountain in the distance, which seemed to be burning very much, and the third uncle was stupid, and said softly: "Look at the direction, it's really the fire we put on."
I was busy covering his mouth, and there was a village cadre-like person running back in front of me, shouting, "Call the troops, the mountain has collapsed in front!"
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the cave might have been burned down by fire, and I was worried that if the corpses rushed out of the cave, it would be troublesome, and we ran to the mound of earth that the mudslide had washed out, and the fat man's hands were so black that the donkey's buttocks were swollen.
Those villagers have usually experienced the training of forest fire prevention, some of them opened the road in the woods, and some people began to use basins to fetch water, to transport it inside, I looked at this pot and pot, it takes at least 2 hours to return to the fire site, it is far from water can not quench the thirst of the near, busy shouting: "Fellow villagers, don't fetch water, this water can't extinguish the fire at all, don't make senseless sacrifices, or wait for the troops to come!" “
The men looked at me like a nervous disorder, and an older man said, "Young man, this water is for drinking, and if there is no water in the fire to drink, it will soon dry up, and we will cut a firebreak on the side, and the fire will die by itself when there is nothing to burn." If you don't understand, don't be here to get involved. He looked at the toilet in our hands and shook his head.
I was blushed by their eyes, and my heart said that I had lost face now, and I would not dare to express my opinions indiscriminately in the future, so I hurriedly lowered my head and followed those large troops into the woods, and all the trees on the road were cut down, and I walked much faster, and after about an hour, we already felt that the temperature had risen significantly. There was black smoke all over the sky.
The villagers took out their masks and dipped them in the water and brought them to their faces, and I looked at the fat man, who already had not much cloth on his clothes, and he seemed to have made up his mind, so he took out the gold silk and soaked it in the water and tied it to his face. Pick up a shovel and learn from the villagers to dig fire ditches.
Wildfires spread very quickly and are extremely harmful, and large wildfires must be controlled by planes, and the so-called control is to let them extinguish themselves, and it is impossible to extinguish them like urban fires. It takes more than 20 years for this tree to grow into a mature tree, but a wildfire can burn it all out in 10 minutes, which is extremely destructive. And the wildfire is very wide, if you only put out the fire at one point, it will soon go around behind you from the edge you can't see, and when you wake up, you are already in the middle of the fire area, and you can only die.
I remember an American film about a group of firefighters who were surrounded by fire, had no way to ask for help, and at the end of their lives. Of course, such a situation will certainly not happen to us, the area of the fire is not very large, and the fire ditch is digging very quickly.
We worked there until about 2 p.m., when a helicopter of the rangers appeared in the sky, and after a while many troops gathered in the woods and took our place, and I was particularly worried that some people would die in the fire, but fortunately only a few were slightly injured when the final count was made.
When we returned to the village, we were almost in shock, I was so hungry that I asked a baby to make me two baked cakes, one for two, I had never eaten such a fragrant food, and tears came down. The village party secretary also praised us, saying that it is really very rare for people from our city to have such a high level of consciousness.
I said in my heart, don't boast, if you praise me again, I really don't want to go, you must know that I am the arsonist, you have to strangle me.
The nurse changed the bandages and washed the wounds, his breathing had eased significantly, but he had not woken up yet, the doctor said to reassure me, there is no danger for the time being, and if there are wounded later, Pan Zi will be sent to the big hospital in the city. I was a little relieved when I heard that.
I went back to the guest house with my third uncle, took a good shower, I don't know if I don't take it off, I looked from top to bottom, almost no place is good, either bruises or broken skin, I didn't feel it when I ran for my life, and now they have come to remind me, when I came out of the bathroom, I almost couldn't move my legs.
I went back to bed and fell asleep all at once. This sleep was really very fragrant, and I slept until noon the next day, and when I got up, I saw the fat man and the third uncle also lying on their bed, snoring like thunder.
I went down to have breakfast and asked the waiter, the fire had been extinguished, and it could only be regarded as a small mountain fire on this scale, and the army had withdrawn. I listened to it and felt a little more relieved. After inquiring with the people at the health center, Pan Zi had been taken to the Qianfoshan Hospital in Jinan. I thanked him, and felt that I could not stay in this place for long, so I prepared to go back.
Don't talk much, a few days later we returned to Jinan, I and the third uncle first went to the hospital to contain Pan Zi to go through the hospitalization procedures, he is not out of danger now, still in a coma, I and the third uncle decided to live here for a few days, the fat man out of the mountain and we broke up urgently, only to leave a phone call after contact, he handed over the gold-inlaid silk book to my third uncle to deal with, this day I called the hospital, Pan Zi has not woken up, I couldn't help sighing, at this time the third uncle walked in with a gloomy face. scolded: "I'm so angry, I was put on a beating!"
I was very surprised, thinking that he had been deceived in the antique market, and said: "Third uncle, with your qualifications, you have been deceived, which means that the thing is very good, and it will definitely be no problem for you to sell it again."
The third uncle took out the piece of gold-inlaid silk and said to me: "Change hands, turn a fart, I'm not talking about antiques, it's this thing!!"
I almost fell out of bed and screamed, "What! Impossible!"
The third uncle said: "It's true, the gold content in this thing, I sent it for testing, the purity is too high, it can't be refined at that time, this is an almost perfect fake!"
I can't believe it, the third uncle sighed, "I've been doubting for a long time, that young man can obviously defeat the bloody corpse, why did he blindly run away at the beginning, and only get rid of the bloody corpse in the end, he must want to get rid of us and do something by himself." ”
I was surprised: "Could it be that during the time he was separated from us, he had already gone to that cave and opened the coffin of King Lu Yan?" Put this fake gold-inlaid silk in it? How is this possible, how can one person do it? And the hole in the tree was torn open by those chains, and if someone had opened it, we would have been able to see the traces."
The third uncle said: "Have you ever seen the back of the coffin, he is upside down, he probably dug a hole in the back of the tree, and directly wrapped the gold-inlaid silk silk from the back of the coffin!" After speaking, he sighed: "Pity me for more than ten years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and I don't see it, this person is really unfathomable, I originally thought that he was just a descendant of the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, it seems that his origin, I'm afraid it's far more than that."
I didn't understand it and said, "Could it be that all the things recorded on it are fake?"
The third uncle nodded, and said angrily: "These stories like the Book of Mountains and Seas don't sound very credible in the first place, but at that time, we were infected by the mysterious atmosphere of that ancient tomb, and we actually believed it, and now that we recall it, there are too many flaws, and if you think about it, at your level, why can you only understand the most important two paragraphs?" I can't understand the others, which means that he has worked these two paragraphs."
I opened my mouth wide, and the third uncle sighed loudly, "It seems that only he knows the secret of this Lu Palace, and now that the tomb has collapsed, it is impossible to go in and see it."
I had a flash of inspiration and said, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, it's not completely out of play, I brought something out of that hole!" As he spoke, he went to rummage through my backpack, praying that I wouldn't lose it, but fortunately, the purple gold box was still there, and I took it out and said, "This is it, I took it from the fox corpse."
The third uncle looked at it and said, "This is a labyrinth box, the main space inside is used to hold locks, it can't hold many things, this box is difficult to open, you see" He twisted the top lid of the box, and the bottom four corners of the box were unfolded together, revealing a turntable. There are eight holes in it, and each hole has a number on it, much like the dial pad of an old-fashioned telephone." This kind of box is the oldest password box, and you need to know the password to open it. ”
I said, "No, you see this is the key I found in the mouth of the female corpse, and you see, this key can be inserted into this keyhole." ”
The third uncle took the key, compared it with the keyhole, and sighed: "This key is not used to open the box, but to lock the box, the maze box can be opened with a password, but there is no way to lock it with a password." When you open the box and want to lock it again, you have to rely on this key. ”
I asked him where he could find an expert to open this kind of box, and the third uncle thought about it, sighed, and said that this kind of person is hard to find, and instead of looking for it, it is better to find a hardware factory to remove the lid conveniently.
I tried there for a long time, the box did not move at all, the turntable has eight holes, arranged according to the number sequence, there is a decimal number eight-digit combination is 10 to the 8th power, 00000000 - 99999999, I don't know the year of the monkey Ma Yue can only try to finish.
The third uncle was distracted when he saw me fiddling with this thing there, so he said hello to me and went back to his room.
I wondered, have you ever seen anything with eight digits in the palace of King Lu? There seemed to be a few numbers on the bronze coffin, but it didn't seem to be enough for eight digits, and the password for the other eight characters, could it be the 02200059? How could it be, this number was printed on an American's belt steel seal, thinking that I tried to dial it, 0-2-2-0-0-0-5-9, click, I slammed it, and the box made a sound similar to clockwork, and the lid of the box automatically turned up.
