First Entering Shiwan Lane Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Box in a Box

Sheng'er, who opened the door, shouted: "Grandpa Lu Qi!"

Liu Buxiu and a few people followed the prestige, and an old man with white hair walked in with his hands behind his back, it looked like the old man should be over the age of six, but his steps were vigorous, his body was straight, and he was not rickety, and he was as full of vitality as a young man.

Liu Buxiu exchanged glances with several people, and they all saw that this old man was extraordinary. But now I think about these things are not very important, because after all, people still let them find it, that is, how to mention the word of asking someone to open the lock to the old man, it still needs to be considered.

"I was going to look for you, Grandpa. Sheng'er dragged Lu Qi into the courtyard, and after closing the door, he introduced everyone to Lu Qi: "Grandpa Lu, let me introduce you, these brothers and sisters have just arrived in Mikasa today, and they have been standing outside your door for a long time as if they are looking for you something." ”

"Oh?" Lu Qi stretched out his hand to protect Sheng'er behind him, looked at Liu Buxiu and the others with a suspicious look, his eyes flashed, and he asked loudly: "The old man doesn't remember where he saw a few little friends, what happened to his visit today?"

Liu Buxiu saw that Lu Qi was wary, and bowed sincerely: "You are much older than us, so I will dare to call you Grandpa Lu for the time being." Grandpa Lu, I am the shopkeeper of Weiling Wanshiwu, surnamed Liu. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to his side, "These guys are all guys from my store, and I'm here to bother you today because I have something to ask for." I don't know if Grandpa Lu can recognize this thing?"

Liu Buxiu said as he took out the square box from his arms, held it in his hand and handed it to Lu Qi. Lu Qiyi saw Liu Buxiu take out the square box, his eyes were instantly attracted by the box, his expression became very solemn, and at the same time he took Sheng'er back half a step.

Lu Qi forcibly moved his gaze to the side, waved his hand, and said, "I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, I've never seen this box of old men, please leave." After speaking, he retreated to the side, meaning that he was going to give an eviction order.

Just looking at Lu Qi's expression when he saw Fang Yuanbox, the fool could also see that Lu Qi must have recognized it, but he refused to admit it. Liu Buxiu had to plead again: "Grandpa Lu, don't give an eviction order first, this box really means a lot to us." And the reason why we found you today is that we must have received the exact news, and we hope that Grandpa Lu will help you. ”

Lu Qi was completely unmoved, twisted his face to the side, and stopped looking at Liu Bunong. "I don't know, I don't know, please go back. ”

Lu Qi feigned anger and lightly knocked Sheng'er's head and reprimanded: "Sheng'er, how can you be so careless and casually lead strangers you don't know into the courtyard." As he spoke, he took out a medicine bag from his arms and handed it to Sheng'er and said, "Quick, go and fry the medicine for your brother Xiaofeng." ”

"Grandpa, I can't take this medicine, my mother died after taking this medicine, but I can't let Brother Xiaofeng take it anymore!" Sheng'er remembered Qiqi's words just now, and hurriedly stopped Lu Qi and said.

Sheng'er has always been very obedient and a well-behaved child, and today he suddenly refuted Lu Qi and Lu Qi didn't expect it. He squinted at Liu Buxiu and the others, and couldn't help frowning: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about." Didn't your mother get better immediately after taking the medicine, and then she died for other reasons, and the medicine must be fine. Don't let these people fool you, be obedient, go and fry it!"

Sheng'er threw the medicine bag aside, sat on the ground, and cried aggrievedly: "Grandpa, I don't have a father and mother anymore, I don't want to lose Brother Xiaofeng anymore." Some of these brothers and sisters know medical science, why can't they listen to what they have to say and then decide whether to take this medicine or not?"

Lu Qi raised his hand angrily and was about to hit Sheng'er, but when he saw Sheng'er crying, his heart suddenly softened again. How could he not know what the Fang Yuan box that Liu Buxiu had just taken out was, but he really didn't want to have anything to do with the box, but Sheng'er said that Liu Buxiu and the others were proficient in pharmacology, and maybe they could save Xiaofeng, and the two sides made a choice and became entangled in their hearts.

Liu Buxiu saw that Lu Qi was shaken, so he said implicitly: "Grandpa Lu Qi, you should know what kind of sin it is to leave your post without permission." ”

Lu Qiyi listened to Liu Buxiu's words, his eyes were round in an instant, he squinted at Liu Buxiu, and his tone was unkind: "You dare to threaten me? Who are you?"

Liu Buxiu stretched out his hand and pressed down gently, signaling Lu Qi not to be angry, and said: "We are just a small shop in Weiling, taking people's money and doing things for others. Just like you, just a flat-headed citizen. ”

Liu Buxiu's latter sentence obviously calmed Lu Qi's anger a lot, because Liu Buxiu did not directly pick out Lu Qi's identity, which made Lu Qi understand that Liu Buxiu didn't want to tear his face, but he had the capital to tear his face, and his current attitude was to give him respect and face.

Lu Qi took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. "Well, in that case. Then I won't beat around the bush, since you have this box, then you should know where this thing belongs, whether you and I can covet it. ”

Lu Qi was relieved, which made Liu Buxiu and the others breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Liu Buxiu said directly and truthfully: "Grandpa Lu, to be honest, I don't know where this box came from. But this is what my master left me, and he is now missing. So there must be extremely important information in this box, and maybe I can use this box to find my master. Please also help, the younger generation is grateful. ”

Lu Qi only thought that Liu Buxiu had stolen the box from where or got it on the black market, but he didn't expect that it was left to him by Liu Buxiu's elders, which made Lu Qi very puzzled. Because the square box has always been made very rarely, and most of them are burial objects in the imperial tomb. There are very few bold tomb robbers, let alone those who can successfully steal the imperial tomb. Therefore, there are only one or two square round boxes in the entire Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the origin of this in Liu Buxiu's hand is very worthy of scrutiny.

Lu Qi squatted down and helped Sheng'er up from the ground, helped him clean the soil on his body, pressed Sheng'er's shoulder and said softly: "Okay, Sheng'er, don't cry." Grandpa has important things to talk about with a few brothers and sisters, can you help me take care of your brother Xiaofeng first?"

Sheng'er wiped her tears and sobbed and asked, "Is the medicine still fried?"

"No more frying. ”

"Really, that's great! I'm going to see Brother Komine. The child is moody, and after Sheng'er got Lu Qi's affirmative answer, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, jumping through the hole in the wall to the next door.

After Sheng'er left, Lu Qi walked to the door and opened the door, cautiously stretched out his head to observe left and right for a while, and then closed the wooden door tightly, stretched out his hand to guide Liu Buxiu and a few people and said, "Several, let's go into the house and say." ”

Sheng'er's house is also surrounded by four walls, and there are only two stools to sit on in total, Lu Qi's attitude at this time is obviously much better, and he said to everyone in Wanshiwu: "There is really no place to sit, just sit on the bed for a while." ”

There were no particular people in the Wanshi House, Liu Buxiu and Lu Qi sat down on the stool, and the rest of the people all slipped and went cross-legged to bed.

Liu Buxiu asked bluntly: "Okay, Grandpa Lu, you should be clear about our intentions, and I hope to give you an exact answer, can you help us or not." ”

"This, I can't say it right now, can you lend me a look at your box?" Lu Qi pinched his beard and replied.

Hearing this, Liu Bu endlessly handed over the Fang Yuan box in his arms, Lu Qi was a little excited when he saw the box, and his hand that took the box trembled a little, he shook his head and sighed: "It's been forty years, I didn't expect that I would still be able to see Fang Yuan Box when I was alive." ”

As he spoke, his fingers nimbly pressed the box everywhere, and the box changed shape as he pressed. Lu Qi pinched and pinched, and suddenly with a "click", the square box was opened, and the top of the box bloomed like a lotus flower.

This change made the people in Wanshiwu excited, and Lu Qi obviously didn't expect this situation, he also looked at the box in his hand dumbfounded, and was speechless for a long time. Liu Buxiu hurried to the front of the box, and couldn't help but be disappointed at a glance.

"Shopkeeper, how is it?, is it open, what's inside?" Yu Xiaohang stretched his neck on the bed and kept looking, asking anxiously.

Liu Buxiu shook his head and said, "It's both opened, and it's not opened." ”

"Brother, what do you mean by this?" Liu Fang couldn't help but ask.

Liu Buxiu didn't answer, and looked at Lu Qi, who was gradually regaining his composure. Lu Qi explained: "I didn't expect that this is not an ordinary square box, there will be a groove after the ordinary square box is opened on the outer layer, which needs to be opened with the special seal of the royal family as a key, and there will be the iconic Great Zhou dragon bird carving of the Southern Zhou royal family." But this square box has nothing, not only that, this square box is equivalent to using two square round boxes together to make it, which is simply incredible, at least I can't make it. ”

Liu Buxiu asked urgently: "Grandpa Lu, can you continue to open it?"

Lu Qi shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know, the most difficult thing now is that although the square box inside is the same as the outside, after opening the outer layer, the outer square box has been stuck and can't be moved." And the box inside is embedded in the middle of the box outside, and the fingers can't reach into it at all, and it is absolutely wishful thinking to open the lock with bare hands. ”

Liu Buxiu said: "Can you disassemble it with a tool? If you need anything, just open it, and I'll get it for you." ”

"Yes, yes, but it takes a lot of time. But my grandson Xiaofeng is seriously ill, and I really don't have the time to help you with this. A few of them have lost their company first, so I'd better go and decoct Xiaofeng first. As soon as Lu Qi mentioned his grandson, he immediately became serious, and he was about to get up and leave.

"This senior, didn't you listen to what Sheng'er told you, the city lord's medicine can't be eaten, and if you take it, you will only die faster. Zidlong just opened his mouth to dissuade.

Lu Qi's footsteps stopped, and he said leisurely: "How can I not know that the medicine can't save people, but at the moment I have no choice, instead of watching Xiao Feng feel so uncomfortable, I should let him go without pain before leaving." ”

Qi Qi jumped out of bed and said with a smile, "Is there a way for me to keep your grandson from dying?"

Lu Qi's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of hope, but then dimmed again, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that you female doll deceived Sheng'er, don't want to lie to me, this old thing, if this disease is really so good, how can so many people die? ”

After Lu Qi finished speaking, he walked out again, this time Qi Qi was angry enough, Qi Qi stomped his feet angrily, and shouted at Lu Qi's back: "Hmph, you don't believe me." I vouch for my reputation as a thousand machines, if I can't cure your grandson, I will bury your grandson. ”

Lu Qi turned his head abruptly and said, "Don't talk so much about the female doll. As he spoke, he realized the point and exclaimed, "What? Are you from Qianjimen?"
