You are back

Chapter 142 The Inexplicable Box

The middle-aged man came in with a low eyebrow and a wooden bucket. Li Yan looked at him and subconsciously straightened his back. A feeling that something was going to happen came to his face.

Li Yan's heart was moved, and Yushu felt it immediately. He took a step forward and stopped in front of the middle-aged man, "Just put it here."

"Yes." The man agreed obediently, bent over with his legs bent, and carefully placed the [-]% full wooden barrel on the floor. His hand slid down to the floor, went around the barrel, and placed a dark, not too small barrel. The box was pushed in the direction facing Li Yan, "Chef Liu asked the young lady to ask the eldest lady: how many good Yellow River carps the kitchen has got. Is it braised in braised sauce or white soup?"

"Why are there Yellow River carp here?" Li Yan watched the man's fingers tap the box a few times.

"Back to Miss, it's from the capital." The man withdrew his hand.

Yushu went forward to move the barrel, and her skirt covered the box.

"For those who come from the capital, just follow the method of the capital. Forget it, let your Chef Liu ask your Lord Seventeen to show you how to eat Yellow River carp. He must know better than me."

The man stared at Yushu out of the corner of his eye and put away the box, agreed, bowed his head and backed out.

As usual, Li Yan drank soup and medicine, soaked his feet and read a book, swayed back and forth in the cabin about ten times, and went to bed.

Yushu took away the fume cage from the quilt, put down the tent, spread out the quilt and slept in front of Li Yan's bed.

Li Yan closed his eyes, listened to the sound of splashing water for a while, then groped under the pillow and found the iron box.I felt the iron box all over with my fingers. If it wasn't too light, it would be a complete piece of cast iron.

The one from the capital... How did Zhou Rui manage to deliver it to her so silently?
No wonder Pei Qing wanted her dead, but didn't dare to do anything anyway. His side, his Cloudy Villa, didn't seem to be entirely under his control, and he knew this situation...

This is something from the back lake of the Li Mansion, she knew it when she touched it, but how to open this thing?What is this for?What's this?
Li Yan touched the iron box carefully again. Yushu looked at it and said that it was integrated and looked and felt the same...

Li Yan knocked lightly a few times, and the box made a dull and hollow sound. It was empty and made of iron. Smash it open?Not on the boat, there was too much noise... Li Yan was stroking and thinking wildly. The belly of his finger suddenly touched, and the finger that was sliding slowly stopped. He slowly touched it back, and then touched it carefully. There was a very small Notch.

Li Yan pressed his finger on the notch, stayed there for a moment, then dropped his hand on the mattress, touched it little by little, and indeed touched a very fine particle, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't explain why, until now, she Still don't want something unexplainable to happen to her.

Feeling the fallen particles, Li Yan felt relieved, touched the tiny nick with his fingers, slowly dug a few times with his nails, paused, turned over and lifted the curtain, "I didn't wash my hair yesterday, and my scalp is itchy, take a hairpin for it." I."

Picking out his fingernails, he couldn't find it for a while, but Pei Qing saw it, and with his shrewdness, he would definitely be able to find it for her.

"Yes." Yushu looked at Li Yan, and Li Yan pouted at her, "Find someone who is easy for you." Yushu understood, opened the dowry box, picked out a small hard and small hairpin with a few sapphires embedded in its head, and handed it to Li Yan .

Li Yan took it, Yushu tucked up the tent again, and Li Yan fell asleep peacefully on his side, holding the hairpin in his hand, and rubbing it out from the notch little by little.

The dirt and rust marks accumulated on the iron box were not strong. After a while, Li Yan rubbed out a small piece and rubbed it with his fingers. The fine lines flowed and swirled. It seemed not complicated. He touched it several times. Li Yan suddenly paused. She seemed to be familiar with these lines!

Li Yan reached for the jade leaf hanging around his neck. The raised lines on one side of the jade leaf were almost the same as those on the box.Li Yan took off the jade leaves and groped for the lines on the box. Pressing the raised lines on the jade leaves, the box popped open silently.

Li Yan was stiff all over, holding the open box with both hands, not daring to touch it or move it.

"Yushu, my head is still very itchy. Check to see if the fire in the kitchen is sealed. I need a bucket of hot water to wash my hair." Li Yan was stiff for a while, and then ordered Yushu in a low voice after waiting for the others to calm down.

Yushu knew that there was something to do, agreed, got up and lit the candles, opened the door to ask for hot water, came back and raised the curtain, Li Yan's voice was the lowest, "It's open, I have to take a look." Before she saw what it was, she didn't dare She reached out to touch him, and even now, holding him in his arms and sharing the same bed with her, she was already very scared.

Yushu's heart suddenly rose, and she found a big dress to put on. While helping Li Yan to put on the clothes, she asked in a low voice, "It can still be closed... Don't worry, miss, get the clean room? Leave it to me."

Li Yan put on his clothes, Yushu gathered the open box in the big clothes, opened the cabinet and took out some clothes, "Miss, you have to wet your clothes every time you wash your hair. The room is cooler than during the day, so you should take the clothes in." Good change.”

Li Yan responded casually, followed behind Yushu, and dragged into the clean room lazily as usual.

Not long after, the hot water was brought in, Yushu carried it into the clean room, closed the door halfway, and then blocked it with his body, Li Yan took out the box from the clothes, in the box, there was a gold holder in the middle, with a button on it. A purple-red to black, amber-like thing, Li Yan stared at the pigeon-egg-sized, dusty thing, his heart skipped a beat, it was hers.

Li Yan slowly stretched out his hand, took off the indescribable thing, held it in his hand, held it up and loosened it, this is her thing, what is it?
"This?" Yushu gestured to the box with his mouth open, and the box had to be hidden.

"Find a place to hide it, if you have a chance to throw it into the river, it's useless." Li Yan held the thing and weighed where it should be placed. It's best to hang it around his neck like a jade leaf and carry it with him.

Li Yan gestured, Yushu understood, "Make a network..."

Yushu waited for Li Yan to wash his hair, and Li Yan wiped his hair with a handkerchief. Yushu found out the silk thread, made a fastest and simplest knot to encircle the thing, and hung it with the Yushu leaf to Li Yan. On the silk rope around the neck of the rock.

When Li Yan wrung out his hair, changed the bedding and went back to sleep, it was almost midnight, his head was next to the pillow, and he fell asleep very quickly.This sleep has never been more secure.

The next morning, when Li Yan woke up, the cabin was already bright. Yushu heard the movement and lifted the curtain. Before Li Yan sat up, he raised his hand to touch the thing hanging around his neck. The jade leaves were still there, but the net was empty. .

　I had a slight fever yesterday, and I indulged myself in sleeping. I said I wanted to patch it up today, but the fever didn’t go away and it was very difficult to write... I’ll update one chapter first.
