Siheyuan: I am Liu Guangqi
Chapter 173, Strange Wood Carving
"This is unreasonable."
Liu Guangqi looked at the dead wood in his hand and whispered.
"There's something wrong there. Isn't this just an ordinary statue of Guan Gong?"
Bai Mei looked at the statue of Guan Gong in Liu Guangqi's hand and asked.
"There is nothing wrong with this thing. What I am saying is that this matter is wrong. Think about what you would take with you if you traveled far away. Would you take such a wooden statue of Guan Gong with you?
If it were made of gold or an antique, I would understand, but it is just a wooden carcass that can be bought on the roadside for a few dollars.
And such a big thing occupies such a huge space, it would be better to take something with you when escaping."
Although he didn't know who the owner of this box was, Liu Guangqi instinctively felt that the owner of this box must be a high-ranking official who was planning to flee south.
He himself felt a little incredible that the reason he had made up at the beginning would actually become a reality a few years later, and he actually picked up such a box full of treasures.
"What you say makes sense, but what if this thing has any special meaning to the owner of the box? Don't you have something that is not so valuable, but is very commemorative?"
Bai Mei nodded after hearing this, and then put forward her own opinion.
"It's possible what you said. But I always feel something is wrong."
Liu Guangqi looked at the wood in his hand and shook his head.
"Don't think so much. It's already ten o'clock and it's time to go to bed. I'm going back first. You guys should go to bed early too, ah."
After saying that, Bai Mei yawned, stretched and walked towards her room in the front yard.
After Bai Mei left, Liu Guangqi put the statue of Guan Gong aside and then made a final inspection of the box. Not to mention that he actually found two magazines with more than a hundred rounds of ammunition in the top cover of the box.
There is also a letter of introduction.
Liu Guangqi's eyes widened when he opened the envelope. The owner of the box was none other than Wu Yingyu and his uncle Guan Jingshan. The envelope contained a prepared pass and a letter of introduction. It seemed that Guan Jingshan was ready to escape.
It's just that he still had a trace of illusion that he didn't leave. After all, the old bj was his home field. If he could stay here, he might not be able to make a comeback with his previous relationship. Unfortunately, his illusion was shattered after all, and he died in
In front of Bai Zhanyuan's house.
I just don’t know why his box ended up in Liulichang. It seems there is a story behind it, but I don’t know what it is.
But no matter how bizarre the story is, it has nothing to do with Liu Guangqi. Since the box falls into his hands, it belongs to him.
"Are you happy enough?"
After putting away the envelope and the bullets, Liu Guangqi walked up behind Qin Huiru and knocked on her little head.
"No"
Qin Huiru held a gold bar in one hand and said with a silly smile.
"It's over before it's over. Give the gold bars to your sister quickly and go upstairs to sleep. If you keep biting her teeth, your teeth will break in a while."
Liu Guangqi pinched Qin Huiru's fleshy little face and said.
"No, I haven't had enough yet. Brother-in-law, can you let me play with it for a while? Or let me sleep with it tonight."
"You are so thoughtful. If so many gold bars are lost, even if I bought them from you, you won't be able to afford the compensation. Give them to me quickly."
Qin Huairu on the side also felt that the game was almost over and was about to put away the gold bars.
"No, I can't afford the compensation, then I'll pay it to my brother-in-law. Half of my sister-in-law's butt belongs to my brother-in-law. At worst, I'll give it to my brother-in-law."
Qin Huiru threw herself directly at the gold bar and spoke without hesitation.
"What are you talking about? Who taught you this? In this age, people are still young. You want to kill your brother-in-law. I will beat you to death, you damn girl."
When Qin Huairu heard what Qin Huiru said, her nose became so angry that she grabbed Qin Huiru's arm and hit Qin Huiru on the butt.
"Brother-in-law, my sister beat me."
After being beaten twice by Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu broke free, rubbed her butt and hid behind Liu Guangqi.
"Okay, okay, the kid talks but doesn't mean it."
Liu Guangqi stood between the two sisters and tried to persuade them.
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could she be like this?"
Qin Huairu sat down on the stool angrily and gave Liu Guangqi a hard look.
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Seeing Qin Huairu's vicious eyes, Liu Guangqi touched his nose with some guilt, then turned around and said.
"Hurry up and give the things to your sister."
Seeing that Qin Huiru was still unwilling, Liu Guangqi said again.
"Hurry up and give the big ones to your sister. You can sleep with this small gold bar at night."
Liu Guangqi took the ten large yellow croakers from Qin's arms and left a small yellow croaker for Qin Huiru. The specifications of gold bars in the Republic of China were different from those in later generations. Except for the official who cast them by grams for the convenience of connecting with the international community, most of the people cast them by taels.
, Generally, gold bars are divided into five cents, one tael, two taels, three taels, five taels, or ten taels.
One tael is 31.25 grams. A gold bar of ten taels is commonly known as a large yellow croaker, and a gold bar of one tael is a small yellow croaker. The ten bars Liu Guangqi took over are large yellow croakers weighing ten taels. As for the one left for Qin Huiru, it is not a small yellow croaker.
But five taels of gold bars are considered medium-sized fish.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Qin Huiru immediately showed a smile, rushed over happily with the gold bars, and was about to run upstairs.
"Wait a moment."
Upon seeing this, Liu Guangqi quickly stopped her.
"what"
Qin Huiru thought Liu Guangqi was going to regret it, so she immediately hid the gold bar behind her back and looked at Liu Guangqi with a tigerish face.
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about today's matter. If word gets out, the gold bar may not be saved. Did you hear that? Especially you Hui Ru."
Liu Guangqi looked at the two sisters and warned him. When he spoke, Liu Guangqi did not show a trace of smile, and his stern look made the two sisters feel anxious. Qin Huiru, who was named, was even frightened and quickly promised.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'm the strictest, I promise not to say anything to anyone."
"Well, that's fine."
After instructing the two sisters, while Qin Huairu was cleaning up outside, Liu Guangqi moved the closet and removed the floor tiles, revealing the secret room he had discovered during the previous decoration.
Taking advantage of Qin Huairu's absence, Liu Guangqi directly threw the grain he bought today inside.
"Huairu, come here."
After doing all this, Liu Guangqi called Qin Huairu in.
"What is this. Cellar?"
After Qin Huairu entered the house, she saw a big hole in the corner of the wall, and her eyes immediately widened. She had lived in this house for half a year, and she had never found such a place in the house.
"This is the secret room left by the previous owner of the house. I discovered it during the renovation, so I kept it. Come in with me."
As he said this, Liu Guangqi took Qin Huairu into the secret room. The secret room was not very big, only eight or nine square meters, and two meters high.
"Why is there so much food in here? Why didn't I know when you got it in?"
Qin Huairu looked at the small mountain of grain in front of her and looked at Liu Guangqi in disbelief.
"These are the foods I stocked up while you were away. If there is not enough food at home in the future, you can just get it from here."
"The current state of the country's food supply is not good. I heard that the south suffered a disaster this year and the price of food will definitely increase. I will buy some food in the next two days. Then we will eat the ones we bought first and put away the ones we bought later.
Once you put it away and then eat it, you won’t be afraid of insects.”
Liu Guangqi couldn't directly tell Qin Huairu that the country would control grain in October. He could only use the reason of the disaster in the southern production areas to vaccinate Qin Huairu first. After all, she was the one in charge of cooking at home, and Liu Guangqi also
It is impossible to stare at the rice vat or noodle vat every day.
"I see."
Qin Huairu nodded after hearing this. For her, as long as it is what Liu Guangqi said, it is right. If Liu Guangqi said that the price of food will increase, then the price will definitely increase. Even if the price does not increase, there is nothing wrong with collecting more food.
"We are the only ones who know this place. Even my mother doesn't know about it. You can just put the valuable things in the house inside. I guarantee it will be safer than leaving them outside."
After coming out of the secret room, Liu Guangqi said again that there is a lot of gold in the house now. If a thief comes in, Qin Huairu will definitely not be able to escape where he hid the money. If so much gold is lost, Qin Huairu will not be angry.
Die. For the sake of Qin Huairu's physical and mental safety, Liu Guangqi kindly reminded him.
"I understand. You don't have to worry about it. I'll just put the things I brought home before when I get there. But will it get damp if I put so much food in there? It'll be okay."
"It's okay, I laid tarpaulin underneath and put lime on it."
