Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 293 The Secret of the Bronze Cat

Worried about Gu Yan and Lian Meng's injuries, Zhou Nian did not wait in Wang Huozi's room, pushed open the door, and returned to his room.

As soon as he entered the door, Lian Meng was standing at the tea table pouring tea, his body looked trembling, and his face was slightly haggard.

"You...... Why are you up? You are not well yet, how can you work?" Zhou Nian hurriedly rushed over and helped Lian Meng.

Lian Meng waved his hand weakly, "I'm out of the way, Sister Gu shouted thirsty just now, and when I saw that you didn't come back, I thought about pouring her some water to drink." ”

"Oh, that's right, leave it to me, you just go to bed and lie down. Zhou Nian took the teapot, lowered his head and began to pour water.

Lian Meng didn't move, and sat down directly on a stool next to the tea table, "Don't lie down, the bed is too small, the two of them are a little crowded, let's let Sister Gu have a good rest." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Nian was stunned for a moment, and hesitated a little when pouring water, knowing that Lian Meng had always thought about others first, so he simply didn't persuade him.

"Oh. ”

Muttering in a low voice, Zhou Nian walked to the side of the bed with the tea bowl and carefully helped Gu Yan feed some water.

"Smack!"

Putting the tea bowl back on the table, Zhou Nian moved a stool and sat opposite Lian Meng, stretched out his palm and touched the other party's forehead, feeling that he couldn't feel it, he simply poked his head over, and tested the other party's temperature with his forehead against his forehead.

"Hey, you're ......"

Lian Meng's face suddenly turned as red as an apple, and his body subconsciously ducked back, but his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by Zhou Nian.

"Don't move, I'll see if you have a fever. Zhou Nian spoke with a blank look and did not have any bold ideas.

"You ......"

Even Meng's breathing became more rapid, and when she got closer, she could hear the strong heartbeat in her chest, and she closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to look directly into each other's eyes, the familiar breath almost suffocated her with excitement.

"Okay, that's fine, it's fine. ”

The action lasted for about ten seconds, Zhou Nian's body stepped back slightly, stood up and went to close the door, and when he came back, he reached out and gently patted the brocade on his waist.

"Smack!"

Hearing the voice, Lian Meng slowly opened his eyes, and as far as he could see, what he saw was Zhou Nian putting the two copper cats on the table.

"Copper cat?" "Curiosity in my heart, Lian Meng couldn't help muttering.

Zhou Nian sat on the seat next to her, pushed one of the copper cats in front of her, and said, "Since you don't want to lie down, then help me figure out these two things, these two copper cats have secrets hidden in them, you can help me find them together." ”

"Secret?" said that there was a secret, Lian Meng suddenly came to his senses, don't look at her now that she is sick, but she can't delay playing when she is sick, she usually likes to tinker with some strange gadgets, not to mention that this is a favor to help Zhou Nian, so she is naturally willing and happy.

The jade hand picked up the copper cat, and Lian Meng put it directly on his lap, and not long after it entered his eyes, he immediately stared at the pair of eyes of the copper cat.

"Wow, what a beautiful cat's eye, this ...... This must be a very valuable gem. "Compared with men, women's enthusiasm for gemstones can be almost crazy, especially women's perception of treasures, sometimes more sensitive than some experts.

Zhou Nian said with a smile, "Hehe, Xiao Nizi really has good eyesight, let me tell you the truth, this copper cat has been identified by someone before, and it is very precious, although the other party did not say the actual price, but I guess, it must be worth a lot of money." ”

The person Zhou Nian said was naturally the fat man Wu of Qibao Pavilion.

When the old boy saw the two eyes of the copper cat, he couldn't take his eyes off, but he knew how to do business, deceived Li Ergou, and only quoted the price of more than 1,000 babeles for cabbage.

Fortunately, this treasure was not taken away by the profiteer Wu Fatzi, and after some difficult twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of Zhou Nian.

"Then the secret you said, will it be in this eye?" Lian Meng muttered, and after speaking, he reached out and touched the cat's eye, but he gained nothing.

Zhou Nian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Alas, little fool, this pair of cat's eyes is so precious, how can it hide a secret?

"Oh. Lian Meng nodded, thinking about it, he simply gave up the inspection of the cat's eye, reached out and started from the cat's head, and carefully touched it from top to bottom.

The whole copper cat is smooth, the color is translucent, it looks like it is some age, it should be an old object, from the cat's head to the cat's tail in one go, there is not even a sharp edge and corner, and it is difficult to find out which cat is greasy.

"Shhh...... It's weird. ”

Taking a light breath, Lian Meng suddenly muttered.

Zhou Nian beside him was curious, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over and ask, "What's strange?"

Lian Meng explained, "Generally, a copper cat with an ordinary appearance like this should not be equipped with such a precious cat's eye, and when creating it, it should not be so rounded, after all, most of this kind of objects are home furnishings, and the carving is so delicate that it is far beyond its value." ”

Zhou Nian frowned when he heard this, as if he understood a little, "You mean, this copper cat is too delicate, but it is a bit of a cover-up?"

Lian Meng nodded and said, " Almost this meaning, perhaps in the eyes of many smart people, the more quaint and stale things are, the more preconceived they think that there must be treasures hidden in them, so they abandon those flashy and good objects, which is like having two boxes in front of you, one looks very delicate, one looks slightly rough, and most smart people will choose the rough one, because they think they are very smart and will not be confused by the appearance of things, but sometimes, smart is mistaken by smart, the more gorgeous things, maybe they should go the opposite way and choose boldly。 ”

"Oh, I see. Zhou Nian nodded meaningfully, turned his head to stare at the copper cat in his hand, and sighed faintly, "Exquisite is exquisite, but you still have to coil it!"

Lian Meng, "......"

Shaking his head, Lian Meng's expression suddenly became serious, and he took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision, "Otherwise, you can smash it open and take a look, maybe the secret is in this copper cat's body." ”

"Well, you're right, that's what I mean. Zhou Nian also agreed, and when he said it, he was not ambiguous, and he mobilized his aura to shoot the copper cat in his hand!

"Boom!"

A dull voice sounded, and the copper cat didn't move.

"Huh?"

Zhou Nian was a little surprised, not because the copper skin was very hard, but because the whole copper cat was only painted with a thick layer of copper paint on the outside, and there was another layer inside!

"Shhh...... It's ......"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Nian quickly took out a dagger from his arms and scraped off the copper paint on it, the bronze appearance disappeared, and in its place, it was a dazzling golden glow!

"This ...... It's made of gold!"

With a low snort, Zhou Nian's pupils dilated.

Lian Meng beside him felt the same way, hesitated for a few seconds, and sighed abruptly, "I see, no wonder this copper cat can have such a precious pair of cat's eyes, and the material inside is gold!"

"Hahaha, earned, made a big profit, sure enough, Lang is worthy of a woman, jackal is matched with a tiger and leopard, things are gathered by like, and people are divided by groups!" Zhou Nianle was happy, his face was undisguised with excitement, "I felt very strange from the beginning, why does such an ordinary copper cat deserve to have such a pair of precious cat eyes? Now that I see gold, I finally understand!"

Seeing that Zhou Nian was a little carried away, Lian Meng beside him couldn't help but glance at him, "Hey, what jackal with tiger and leopard, can't you use a better adjective?"

Zhou Nian scratched his head with a slightly red face, "Metaphor, metaphor, hehe......"

"Cut. Rolling his eyes, Lian Meng snorted lightly, looked down at the copper cat in his hand seriously, and immediately returned to the previous topic, "Okay, don't be happy first, this time you have picked up the treasure, but although this gold is good, it is harder than the weak copper skin, you have a way to ......"

"Don't worry, I have a solution. Zhou Nian interrupted, knowing what Lian Meng was going to say, and when he spoke, he suddenly reached out and patted the brocade bag on his waist, and directly took out his Lingyun Flying Knife.

"What is this?" Dai frowned slightly, and Lian Meng stared at the small black short knife in Zhou Nian's hand with some curiosity.

"Hehe, don't worry, you'll know in a moment. Zhou Nian smiled mysteriously, and after speaking, he pinched the handle of the knife and lightly scratched it on the back of the copper cat.

"Radiant ......"

The sound of metal grinding, when the Lingyun Flying Knife slashed, immediately left a slender notch on the gold.

"Shhh...... What a sharp knife!" Lian Meng was stunned for an instant, he didn't expect that the unsightly blade had such a terrifying destructive power, he took a light breath and said with sincere emotion.

"Hey, hey, awesome. Zhou Nian withdrew the flying knife, pinched his hand and looked at Lian Meng with a smile on his face, as if he was showing off.

Lian Meng frowned, didn't care about the other party's teasing, his eyes suddenly scanned back and forth over the two copper cats, and his index finger pressed against his chin and asked, "Are you going to cut these two copper cats one by one?"

"I have this plan, but I still have a way of thinking, and I haven't made up my mind yet, so let's talk about your opinion first. ”

"You wait first. Lian Meng interrupted with a wave of his hand, he was also a smart and clever master in studying ancient monsters, pondered for a while, and said solemnly, "Actually, I don't think it's so troublesome, it takes too much time to cut such two pieces of gold, otherwise, you can cut off the two tails of the copper cat first, maybe you can find the secret." ”

"Two tails?" muttered, Zhou Nian was suddenly a little surprised, because Lian Meng thought of it with him, "You also think their two tails are a little strange?"

"That's ...... that."

"Yes, my other way of thinking is to cut the tail first. Zhou Nian's attitude was firm, paused, and then said, "Why don't you tell me your basis and see if it's the same as me." ”

"Oh. ”

Lian Meng muttered in a low voice, and then put the two copper cats together, pointed to their tails and said, "You see, the tails of these two copper cats are one to the left and the other to the right, it stands to reason that they should be a pair, if you really want to explore the secret, it is best to start with the differences between the two." ”

"Hahaha, smart!" Zhou Nian smiled, once again confirming that he and Lian Meng had the same idea, "You are exactly the same as what I think." ”

"Oh, hehe......" Lian Meng smiled, his cheeks slightly red, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
