"Huh...... This feel ......" Suddenly, Gao Mingcheng's expression became solemn, and he pinched the book cover again and again, feeling that there was something wrong with this feel.

It is common sense that the book cover of a book will be thicker than the page.

Gao Mingcheng had never been suspicious before, but now that he had the experience of his previous life, when he held the thing in his hand, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

It's just that he looked at it several times, but he didn't see any flowers.

He also tried to tear the book cover a little, but the book cover was made of unknown materials, and it was very tough.

Finally, his gaze fell on the burning kerosene lamp.

The wick draws on the offerings of kerosene and blooms into a dazzling and colorful flower of flame. When people stare at the flames, they only feel that the flames are alive and swaying.

A thought grew in Gao Mingcheng's heart, and he looked a little hesitant, but in the end he cautiously approached the flame with the corner of the book cover.

He was extremely careful in his movements, for fear that the flames would ignite the whole book in an instant, after all, he only wanted to burn a little bit to see if there was really a mezzanine as he thought.

Thanks to the tomb robbery in his previous life, Gao Mingcheng handled some antiques, and also learned some related knowledge, he knew that in ancient times, there was a sandwich technology, which could sandwich some important things into other things, such as the sandwich in the wooden box, the sandwich in porcelain, and the sandwich in calligraphy and painting, etc.

As the corner of the book cover approached the flame, the book cover was instantly ignited, and the flame quickly spread from one point to more faces.

Gao Mingcheng had already prepared, and the moment the book cover was ignited, he suddenly pulled the book cover away, and then blew a breath towards the flame on the book cover, blowing out the flames.

The flames had been extinguished, leaving a dark cloud in the corner of the book cover.

Gao Mingcheng stretched out his fingers, rubbed the blackened place, rubbed the ashes off little by little, and then carefully observed the situation from the burning surface.

He just didn't see anything wrong at all, which made him a little disappointed.

He touched the book cover repeatedly, and still felt that this felt wrong.

So he planned to burn more book covers to verify it.

As usual, he cautiously approached the flames, and then the book cover was successfully ignited, and Gao Mingcheng planned to count three numbers silently in his heart, and then blow out the flames.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed in front of him.

Gao Mingcheng's gaze instinctively pursued the black shadow, and when he saw that it was a mouse, his heart fluttered.

He retracted his gaze, but saw that the book cover had already burned a little half, and he instantly hurried to extinguish the flames on the book cover.

"Damn rats!" Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but scold.

Looking at the book cover that had been burned by one-fifth, Gao Mingcheng didn't want to have any mezzanine for a while.

Otherwise, if you know that any treasure has been burned by your own carelessness, it will be a psychological burden.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Mingcheng came to check the situation.

Due to the thick cover, the flame does not burn too quickly, and the ashes after burning do not fall directly to the ground, but condense together, and the color is black instead of gray-white.

This is because the paper on the book cover has not been completely burned.

Gao Mingcheng rubbed the ashes off with his fingers, and the black ashes fell one after another, revealing a dazzling gold.

This touch of gold, like the rising sun, shines directly into Gao Mingcheng's heart.

His heart began to beat rapidly, and a bold guess took shape in his mind.

The fingers stained with black ash excitedly stroked the little gold substance, and a wave of ecstasy spread in Gao Mingcheng's heart.

He guessed whether there would be a mezzanine in the book cover, and whether there would be a silver ticket from the Ming or Qing Dynasty sandwiched inside, as he had once encountered.

The silver ticket is also paper, and he is most afraid of flames, so when he accidentally burns too much, he would rather have no mezzanine inside.

But he never expected that there was indeed a mezzanine inside the book cover, and the thing that was sandwiched turned out to be gold!

Of course, to be able to be sandwiched into the book cover, the gold is also extremely thin, about gold leaf.

The Chinese people love gold, which is engraved into the blood and bones.

Gao Mingcheng is naturally no exception.

Knowing that it was gold, he was a little bolder, he tore off the book cover from the book, and wanted to burn it, anyway, real gold is not afraid of fire.

But when it was about to burn, he hesitated.

Real gold is not afraid of fire, but this gold leaf is too thin, and I am afraid that it will be melted.

Did the original owner of the book put the gold leaf in the cover just to hide some gold, or was there some other intention?

Will there be any important information on this gold leaf?

Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng immediately thought that in the antique shop, antiques with inscriptions are much more valuable than those without inscriptions!

In the same way, if there is no information on the gold leaf, then the gold leaf can only be considered ordinary gold, but if there is any important information on the gold leaf, then it is an antique!

It's worth more than gold!

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Gao Mingcheng called a basin of water, and then sank the entire book cover into the water, allowing the water to soak the book cover.

After about two or three minutes, Gao Mingcheng estimated that it was almost there, so he fished out the book cover from the water, and then tore off the soaked paper little by little.

Because of the toughness of the paper and the fear of damaging the gold leaf, he tore the paper very lightly, and it took him ten minutes before he completely tore off the paper.

Looking at the two pages of gold leaf paper in his hand, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but smile with relief.

He first picked up a page of gold leaf paper and looked in the direction of the kerosene lamp, through which the light emitted a charming golden light.

As for what information is on the gold leaf, I can't see it at all.

But Gao Mingcheng was not discouraged, he suspected that it was a problem with the light, and planned to wait for daylight tomorrow to come and observe it.

He had just put the gold leaf back into the book when he heard the sound of a door pushing behind him.

Before I could see who came out, a familiar scolding sounded first: "What do you do at night and don't sleep?" Also light kerosene lamps! Don't spend money on kerosene! ”

"Whew!" Like the wind, the figure quickly came to the kerosene lamp, blew out the lamp, and left a wisp of green smoke curling up.

Under the moonlight, Gao Mingcheng's mother's face was full of distress, as if the kerosene lamp was not burning kerosene, but her hard work.

She had already slept, but because of her health, she would get up once or twice a night to go to the bathroom.

"I'm going to work on the railroad tomorrow, what are you doing at night without sleeping?" Gao Mingcheng's mother, Luo Xiaohua, reprimanded again.

Gao Mingcheng didn't argue anything, and went to sleep after saying a word.

Then he got up and went back to his house.

Luo Xiaohua had no choice but to put away the kerosene lamp in distress and then go to the toilet.

In the early morning of the next day, the Gao family got up very early, and Luo Xiaohua cooked a large pot of porridge early.

It's just that while eating, Gao Yuanjian looked around and found that his second son Gao Mingcheng hadn't gotten up yet.

So he lowered his face and said to his third son, "Your second brother hasn't gotten up yet?" Go and shout him! ”

The third brother, Gao Mingwan, said: "The second brother has already gotten up!" When I woke up, he was long gone! ”

"This bunny!" Gao Yuanjian was furious, and he wanted to beat the second child with a stick.

"Look at the good sons you gave birth to, they are almost twenty years old, and they are still idle every day, and they finally have a job to make money, and he dares to run away!" The second child was not in front of him, and he couldn't beat and scold, so Gao Yuanjian had to be angry with Lao Luo Xiaohua.

Luo Xiaohua didn't want to see this unpleasant second son, and immediately scolded: "The second child doesn't know which tendon is stupid, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night yesterday, and he actually lit a kerosene lamp in the yard!" Holy, there's so much less kerosene in that lamp! ”

Luo Xiaohua stretched out his hand and made an exaggerated gesture.
