Chapter 66: Maps
Finally, her eyes were fixed on the doorframe. Ye Xuanxuan limped over and pushed the originally wide open door frame to close it. Originally, I wanted to check whether the back door could be hidden underground, but this push was a big surprise.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed shut, a little dust fell, the back of the door was covered with spider silk, and a musty smell spread through the air. Because she forgot to clean this place, the smell was heavier, but Ye Xuanxuan didn't have time to care about this, she was shocked by the painting on the door panel behind the door frame.
Surprised and inquiring, she stared at the painting closely. Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er, who were standing in the room, were also attracted when they saw the eldest sister's sudden movements. When the two of them saw the yellowed picture at the door, they were also a little surprised, but because they couldn't read it, and they didn't know much, they didn't see anything.
Ye Xuanxuan read it again, and also went through it in her mind, and suddenly seemed to think of something. Suddenly walked to the other half of the door, reached out and pushed the other half of the door frame, and sure enough, there was also a painting behind it. Looking at the two paintings again, she always felt that something was missing, and her eyes kept bobbing back and forth between the two paintings, and it dawned on her that she had completely closed the two doors. Looking at it again, sure enough, the two paintings are actually one painting, but they have been separated.
This discovery shocked Ye Xuanxuan again, because she had just seen it and already understood, that map was actually a map, marking the territory of the entire continent.
Not only that, but even the words on the drawing and the lines of the map are very miniature. However, the study door is more than one meter, and the painting behind it is just more than one meter long and seventy or eighty centimeters wide!
Drawing on such a small piece of paper and marking all the names of places in the whole continent is really a meticulous job, and it can only be done by a master.
Because Ye Xuanxuan took a closer look, she could still find the Qixian Mountain attached to Yejia Village on the section of the Dakang Dynasty.
Obviously, this shows that this map is extremely detailed. Even such a remote and small mountain village can be marked, this map is remarkable.
Although I don't understand why my mother can have this, this picture is definitely not simple, and it will be a sensation if it falls into the hands of any country. Ye Xuanxuan's expression suddenly became a little solemn, frowning and thinking about what to do.
Then she sighed again and patted the two little hands of Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er who were staring at her on the side: "You remember and forget the picture you saw today, you should not know anything about this picture, understand?" ”
Looking at such a serious expression and a solemn expression, both of them felt nervous.
"Sister, is there anything wrong with this picture?" Ye Erya opened her mouth to ask, her eyes were also full of worry.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't want to say too much, but she also wanted to comfort them. She shook her head at Ye Erya and added, "You just need to forget that you have seen this picture here, and my sister knows other things." ”
After saying this, Ye Xuanxuan found the rusty knife that she had used very easily. Scraping against the doorframe again, little by little, from the edges, she was going to take the picture off.
Because it is so old, the paper is yellowed, and the edges are probably a little hard because the paste used has been glued several times. Ye Xuanxuan was even more careful, and it took half an hour for just two pictures.
Fortunately, she was careful about it, so she took down the two maps intact. She breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot.
Ye Xuanxuan carefully put the two pieces of paper on the desk, the current desk is already tidy, and it has been wiped bright by Ye Bao'er, although it is a lot worn.
On the left hand side of the desk lay the two initiation books, a booklet, and on the right hand side were pen and ink and a few yellowed blank sheets of paper.
Ye Erya looked at her sister's appearance, looked up at the sky outside, and couldn't help but open her mouth to remind: "Sister, it's almost noon, let's deal with it at noon!" I'm going to cook now. After speaking, Ye Xuanxuan still bowed her head, but nodded in response and went out.
Ye Bao'er glanced at the eldest sister who was still looking at the pictures, and looked at the second sister who had already walked out quickly, thought about it, scratched her head and went out.
In fact, he saw that his eldest sister was too engrossed, so he didn't want to disturb her, so he went out to help the second sister light the fire.
Ye Xuanxuan looked at the map marked the Great Kang Dynasty, and her mind kept turning. Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration, and I hurriedly flipped through the previous booklet, and I understood it this time.
This booklet is obviously an introduction to recipes, medicinal materials, etc., but there is no shortage of place names that appear.
It seems that this register has these two maps that can be used together, and the mountains, rivers, and other places marked on the map can also be found in the booklet. In addition, the booklet clearly records what kind of goods are abundant or produced in the local mountains and rivers, and even the mineral veins, products, and topography characteristics, as well as the local food customs, etc. In the last few pages of the booklet, there are a lot of suspenseful things, such as what strange things or monsters appeared in which area of the Great Kang Dynasty, or rumors or artifacts from hundreds of years ago, etc.
This booklet, together with the map, is undoubtedly a wide range of contents, summarizing all the things and things of the entire continent.
The more Ye Xuanxuan looked at it, the more frightened she became, this is completely an excellent ambition of all things!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuanxuan closed the booklet. Turning his sore neck, his arm resting on the desk, his fingers pointing to the map and thinking about it.
That's right! Although I can't use it now, I will be able to travel around the world when I have a certain amount of money in the future.
And looking at the things recorded on it, it's really exciting. What can make Ye Xuanxuan's heart flutter is naturally those minerals, she is in the jewelry design industry, and she naturally has a soft spot for those. She was relieved to think about it like this, so let's not move these for the time being, and then use it later!
As for the records about the Dakang Dynasty recorded on this map and the booklet, Ye Xuanxuan decided to memorize it well for a while.
It looks like I have to go to town today, and although these two maps are in good condition after being canceled, they can't be stacked or collected. Because the paper was too brittle for too long, there was no way to store it, so she thought that she might as well go to the town to buy something leather, and then draw it on the leather herself, so that it would be easy to preserve and fold at will.
Thinking like this, Ye Xuanxuan no longer got entangled and looked at it more, she didn't move the map or brochure again, and went out to find Ye Erya and them.
