Splendid peasant girl busy farming

It’s the middle of the month in a blink of an eye, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is just one day away.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, someone from Qing'an County's Shunfeng Escort Bureau came and carried a heavy, locked wooden box into the Luo family's courtyard gate.

This large wooden box came from the capital and was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from Luo Fengtang.

"Wow, it's such a big wooden box, like a small wooden house."

"Mom, please take out the things inside. My brother and I want this cabin. We want to use it to play house."

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were the most positive when they saw the wooden box.

The box had just been delivered, and before they even opened it to see the gifts and other contents inside, these two little guys had already come up with the idea of ​​a wooden box.

This reminded Yang Ruoqing of the story of buying a casket for a pearl.

Hey, it seems that there really is such a person in this world. The pearls in the box are not fragrant, but he fell in love with the box containing pearls at a glance. He wanted to buy the box anyway. He has personality.

"Okay, I'll give you the wooden box to play with."

Yang Ruoqing agreed casually, then handed the key to Wang Cuilian and asked her to take the two little guys to open the box first.

She herself came to the two escorts.

Although Luo Fengtang had already paid the escort agency a sufficient commission for escorting the box this time, Blacksmith Luo also warmly entertained him with hot tea and snacks when it was delivered to his door.

But when sending the two of them out, Yang Ruoqing still took out the reward and rewarded them both.

"Two brothers, thank you for your hard work. Let's use it to drink and eat!"

When the two escorts saw the reward money that Yang Ruoqing had given them, their eyes lit up and their hearts warmed up.

This reward money has almost caught up with their monthly salary for more than half a month!

General Luo and his wife are so generous!

"Thank you madam for the reward." After thanking each other, the two said goodbye.

Yang Ruoqing also returned to the main room with Luo Tiejiang.

At this time, in the main room, Wang Cuilian was holding the key and gesturing back and forth around the big box. The lock of the big box did not move at all, and the lid of the box was still intact, with no sign of being opened.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan followed Wang Cuilian and kept urging, "Grandma, you should open the box!"

"Grandma, hurry up!"

The more Wang Cuilian urged, the more hot sweat broke out on her forehead. She held the key in her hand, and she didn't know how to use it.

"Mom is here."

"Mom, open the box, grandma can't open it."

Both children shouted together.

Wang Cuilian also cast an expectant look at Yang Ruoqing with an embarrassed face. The key that should have been inserted into the keyhole was still in Wang Cuilian's hand.

"Qing'er, there's something strange about this lock. I can't open it with the key. Come and have a look."

"Oh? Really? Let me take a look."

Yang Ruoqing came to the big box, looked around, and found that the big box only had a lock on the front.

this lock...

She lifted the lock and looked at it carefully.

The lock is an external type, and the iron bar behind the lock is very hard, made of ice iron like the lock body.

Ordinary knives and axes will not work on this lock.

As for breaking open the wooden box?

That's even more impossible, because the person who made this box is yellow pear wood that is as famous as Yin wood in the world.

No matter how good the Yin wood is, it is basically used by wealthy families to build coffins, and it can protect the body from decaying for hundreds of years. It is unlucky to use it in a place with living people.

But yellow pear wood is different, it belongs to Yang. Flower beds and furniture made of yellow pear wood are symbols of power and wealth.

For those arty people, even if they don't have enough financial resources to support a large piece of yellow pear wood, it is still possible to buy a tea set to support the scene.

However, Luo Fengtang directly made a box of pineapple wood of this size...

What a prodigal man!

Yang Ruoqing thought about it for a while, then tried to insert the key in Wang Cuilian's hand into the keyhole, then turned it to the left twice, stopped, moved the key back two inches, and then turned it to the right twice.

Only a crisp click was heard, coming from the ice iron lock hole.

The next moment, the big lock that had been motionless opened in response.

The two children were so excited that they clapped their hands and cheered. Yuanyuan even jumped up a few times with joy.

Although Tuantuan was more polite, his eyebrows were crescent with joy, and his shining eyes were staring at the lid of the box.

Wang Cuilian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's true that you are better off than a later one. I couldn't open this lock no matter how hard I tried, but Qing'er opened it in just a few clicks."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't blame you for not being able to open it. I've also thought about this lock a lot. There is a mechanism inside."

This is a branch of Luban Lock. It seems very simple, straightforward and crude, but in fact it contains mysteries.

Yang Ruoqing had also seen similar locks when she was in contact with Zuo Junmo before, so she tried to use the method Zuo Junmo taught her to open, but unexpectedly it actually came in handy.

"Mom, grandma, don't talk, please open the box quickly!"

"Open the box, open the box, we want to see something good!"

The two little guys who had previously bought caskets for pearls, now saw that the lid of the box was about to be opened, and couldn't hold it any longer. Their attention temporarily shifted to the mysterious gift inside the box.

Blacksmith Luo laughed, "Yes, you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should stop chatting and open the box quickly!"

Not to mention the two little grandsons who were impatient, even the old man Blacksmith Luo was a little curious.

The same is true for Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing. This is probably the case for most people in the world.

There is an irresistible temptation for unknown and mysterious gifts.

Because of this, many people are surprised when they receive express delivery from others. Then, even if it is windy and rainy outside, as long as the express delivery outlet is not closed, they will actively take back the mysterious express delivery to find out what's going on. .

For those who place orders by themselves and know what items they are in advance, they may be piled up at the express delivery outlets for several days without even bothering to pick them up.

I like buying, I don’t like taking. It wasn't until the staff at the Kuaipai outlet made several calls to urge me that I had to go get my express delivery back.

But mysterious express delivery sent by others is another matter.

So at this moment, driven by this everlasting curiosity, Yang Ruoqing opened the box.

The lid of the box was quite heavy, and she couldn't lift it with one hand. It took two hands to finally lift the heavy pineapple wood lid.

As soon as I lifted it up, I found that there were mechanisms and buttons on both sides.

Yang Ruoqing could tell at a glance that this was a gadget that supported the lid of the box. With these two inconspicuous gadgets, the lid of the box would not have the chance to fall off by itself inexplicably.

I don’t know where Luo Fengtang found this box, but it was really carefully designed.

"I can't see it, the box is too high."

"Bring a stool and step on it and watch!"

The two brothers stood on tiptoe and found that the height was not enough, so they hurriedly moved a small stool over.

Now, he was tall enough, and his two little heads eagerly poked into the box.
