Chapter Ninety-Four: Seamless
Zhang Qian put the bag on the table, it was heavy, and it had some weight, but Shen Nianyi didn't even move half a minute in his eyes, he wasn't waiting for this, Zhang Qian smiled bitterly: "Shen Shaoqing, since I have already told everything about it, naturally I won't hide anything, but this thing is in vain." ”
Sun Shining's eyes blinked and he didn't say much, Zhang Qian was cautious, and found a palm-sized box, with silver light shimmering, without a trace of gaps: "Shen Shaoqing, this is the last thing I took out in the fire." ”
As soon as Shen Nian took the box, the population of the He family was counted, so someone followed Zhang Qian, who fled for his life, into the city, but the portrait drawn was Wen Wu'er's, no one expected that there would be a thief who came uninvited that night and replaced the place of the child hiding in the hearth, but fortunately, they were only looking for a drooping child, so that Zhang Qian could pick up a life.
Some things, as if they had already been arranged, leaving clues, so that people with a heart can follow the vine and touch the melon, Shen Nianyi lowered his head to carefully check the things in his hand, he turned the box over and over a few times, and understood what Zhang Qian's words meant, there was obviously something in this box, but it couldn't be opened.
Zhang Qian is a very powerful thief, thieves have a pair of skillful hands, presumably hiding here for a few days, Zhang Qian's hands are not idle, but he can't open, he can't open it, he still knows that this thing is precious, more valuable than that bag of jewelry.
"Shen Shaoqing, this thing has a name, it's called Seamless, I've heard of it." Zhang Qian said cautiously, "But I only heard its name, I haven't seen it, it is said that it was made by a skilled craftsman many years ago, there are three pieces, this is the smallest of them, unless someone understands the trick, even the magic weapon can't split it." ”
Shen Nianyi didn't pull out his weapon, he pinched it twice with his fingers, the silver box didn't move at all, he laughed secretly, such a finger force can even crush the skull, dealing with such a gadget...... His eyes flashed: "You said there are three such things?" ”
"Yes, there are only three pieces of ingenuity, this one is smaller, and it is said that the largest one is comparable to a bronze tripod." Zhang Qian knew a lot of truths, and when he saw that Shen Nianyi had to ask him for advice, he couldn't help but feel slightly proud, "I tried a lot of methods and couldn't open it, since Shen Shaoqing is interested in it, he will stay here with Shaoqing, I think maybe it is the objects in this silver box that make the He family cause the disaster of annihilation." ”
Shen Nianyi's sleeves flicked, and the silver box disappeared without knowing where he received it, Sun Shining sighed, and his fingers scratched lightly but scratched it empty: "What, you are also interested in this?" ”
"I listened to him and wanted to see how it worked." Sun Shining knew that this was important evidence, if it was lost in her hands, it would be a big deal, and her hand sank, but it was Shen Nianyi who took out the silver box and handed it to her, and quickly shook his hand and said, "I don't understand these either, it's not safe to put it here with me." ”
"There's nothing safe that isn't safe." Shen Nianyi said in a low voice, "Zhang Qian's hand can't be opened, and others can't be opened." ”
"What if you can split it with your Hidden Arrow?" Sun Shining couldn't hold back his curiosity, and turned over the silver box twice, it was really amazing, he couldn't see the gap, shook it, and felt that there were things inside.
"It's light." Shen Nianyi made a slight observation, "It may be a letter or something." ”
"Shen Shaoqing's guess is similar to my thoughts, if there is a little weight, there will inevitably be a sound, Miss Sun shook it, there should only be a slight rustle in it." Zhang Qian nodded and said, "I guess it's a letter on paper." ”
Sun Shining put the silver box to his ear and shook it, as if there was a silkworm baby eating mulberry leaves inside, rustling: "Do you think Wen Wu'er will know how to open it?" ”
Three people, six eyes, all looked at the child who was still sleeping in the quilt, Sun Shining leaned over to see: "He is really tired, we talked about it for a while, but he didn't wake up." ”
Before the words fell, Shen Nianyi lifted the quilt, and touched the side of Wen Wu'er's neck with one hand, Zhang Qian was even more nervous, from beginning to end, only when Sun Shining left to help him get the wound medicine, the child left her sight, he didn't do anything, if the child went wrong, he was afraid that he couldn't tell it with his mouth open.
"He's fine, it's just that he's tired and prostration, and he's full of food and drink and sleep deeply." Shen Nian let go of his hand, "Let him sleep until he wakes up naturally, and then give him some hot porridge when he wakes up." ”
"This kid has been hiding in that burned-out compound?" Zhang Qian was surprised and wanted to lean his head to look, Shen Nianyi felt that he was too close to Sun Shining, which was a bit of an eyesore, and directly slapped him on the forehead, Zhang Qian felt a murderous aura in his face, and shrunk his neck to avoid it, "Really capable, where is he hiding?" ”
"In the hearth." Sun Shining said pityingly, "There is a secret door in the hearth. ”
Shen Nianyi didn't stop her from talking, this is no longer something that has to be kept secret, and sometimes, it is actually more cost-effective to exchange some known for some unknown.
"Since I entered that yard, I have a strange feeling, it is really surprising, it has not stopped, a child is hiding in the hearth, it is possible that the adults of his family have known that there is such a catastrophe, otherwise, such a secret door can not be dug up in three or two days." Zhang Qian analyzed, "This child's parents can't be the ones in the study, right?" ”
"His mother is the cook of the He family." Sun Shining replied very seriously.
"Isn't this more interesting, that secret door was prepared by a chef, a chef has such foresight, Shen Shaoqing doesn't think it's strange?" Zhang Qian rubbed the tip of his nose, "Of course, I'm not much better than others, I obviously feel a little dangerous, I didn't believe in evil that night, and I was injured, but fortunately, there is no endless road, otherwise I estimate that I will be trapped here and die, and sooner or later I will show my flaws." ”
Shen Nianyi didn't think about these questions, but the people of the He family were all dead, and there was no proof of death, where to find the answer, Qiu Cheng turned back again: "My lord, according to that list, I have asked clearly, my hands and feet are indeed not clean, I have more or less received money from unknown people in recent days, the purpose is different, and the requirements are different, it doesn't sound special, but when you get together and think about it, those people in Lingxian County are actually able to do whatever they want, and Wen Wu'er's portrait has also been searched, The other party always thought that the one who fled for his life was just a child. ”
"Impossible, these are all means used to confuse us, and the person who tracked Zhang Qian is not blind, and the size of adults and children will not be visible?" Sun Shining's words were pinched in his throat when he saw Zhang Qian's expression, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, "The person chasing you is really blind?" ”
"I can't say if he's blind or not, but his ears are very smart, and his eyes are really not very good." Zhang Qian replied honestly, the other party pressed too hard, he didn't even have the courage to look back, for fear that as soon as he turned around, the other party's sharp blade would be able to break a hole in his throat, but he was by no means an ordinary person, that person was also chasing him with all his strength, the distance was not shortened, and he was always outside the safety line.
"And how do you know he's not eye-catching?" Shen Nianyi asked in a deep voice, this Zhang Qian looked very cooperative, but he said half of everything and left half, obviously he wanted to talk about the conditions in his hand, he didn't see it, and simply asked directly, not afraid that Zhang Qian would not answer.
"A person can catch the wind and chase me for more than ten miles, but he will almost trip over the bamboo pole that is placed on the ground at will, I guess his eyesight is not very good." Zhang Qian was also taken aback at that time, but the other party's stumbling gave him time to save his life.
"Zhang Qian, let me ask you, is there a problem with this Huzhi County." Sun Shining's voice was crisp, and this question really made it inconvenient for Shen Nianyi to ask.
Zhang Qian blurted out: "That sick Hu Zhixian, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the strength to go out of the county yamen, and it's hard work to make it bad, he really can't do it." ”
For some reason, Sun Shining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wen Wu'er's little head on the bed and moved, seeing that he was about to wake up, the child saw that the room was full of men, a little timid, shouted sister, and stopped squeaking, she fed him some warm water and ate a shortbread snack.
Wen Wu'er was close to her and had been snuggling up to her, Sun Shining asked while breaking the shortbread in his hand into small pieces, "Did Wu'er grow up in his family?" ”
"Yes, my mother said that I grew up in He's house when I was a child, and when she came to He's house, I was so old." He gestured with his hand, but the ruler was long.
"Your grandfather is the chief butler of the He family, very powerful, right?"
"Grandpa is not my real grandfather, my mother is my grandfather's goddaughter." Wen Wu'er said clearly, "But grandpa doesn't have any other children, so he treats me and my mother very well." ”
Shen Nianyi looked thoughtfully at the conversation in front of him, the water of the He family was deeper than he thought, it was so deep that it was almost topless.
Sun Shining took out the silver box intentionally or unintentionally, shook it in front of Wen Wu'er's eyes, and said, "Wu'er knows what this is?" ”
Wen Wu'er stared at it for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen it." ”
Sun Shining put the silver box in his little hand and let him hold it: "Didn't your mother mention this?" ”
"My mother is only responsible for cooking, and when the master is in the study, my mother will send the food over, and no one else will go." Wen Wu'er's little hand flipped a few times, but she couldn't find the trick, so she put it down because she didn't think it was fun.
"Why is it only your mother who can deliver food?" Sun Shining asked again.
"I don't know, there is a sister who went there while her mother was away, but she was punished by the second lady, and she was beaten with ten sticks and driven out, and I saw several mothers-in-law tearing her out of the back door, and I never saw her again." Wen Wu'er has a good memory, adults don't seem to shy away from him when he is young, "I asked my mother, where did my sister go, and my mother said that people who do wrong things can't stay in He's house." ”
