Wen Family Has a Wife

Chen Ningya really wanted to ask Shumo, she had only been away for half a year, why did this kid become a talker, but after the carriage entered the mountain, she realized how important Shumo's kind reminder was, especially when he was bumped so badly in the mountain After eight years, she wanted to kneel down to Shumo.

Until late at night, the carriage finally stopped.

Chen Ningya's stomach was full of turmoil, and when she got out of the carriage, she held on to the tree beside the road and vomited loudly. Wen Yuanhong hurried over and patted her on the back worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Isn't it?" Is Shumo driving too fast?"

As he said that, Wen Yuanhong glared fiercely at Shumo.

Shumo called innocently, "Second Master, I'm already very slow, but you also know that if you move slowly like an old ox pulling a cart, I'm afraid you won't be able to climb up this mountain, and I'm already very careful. "

Chen Ningya also waved her hand to speak for him, "Okay, don't blame Shumo, he reminded me early in the morning, but I didn't care, it's not like I haven't walked the difficult mountain road before. Everything is rough, where are you?"

Chen Ningya regained her strength, and when she looked up, she was stunned, the surroundings were pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers. If she hadn't lit some torches, she really couldn't tell the difference between south, east, and north.

Looking up with the limited light, she found that the trees here could really be described as covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The sky was blocked so that even the bright moonlight could not illuminate the dark place tonight.

The more I looked at her, the more frightened I became, and I didn't even care about her physical discomfort.

Wen Yuanhong supported her and explained: "Mother, it's not bad now. This is deep in the mountains and full of dense forests. Even old hunters dare not step in easily. It took us several months to barely open a direct road." On the mountain road, several wooden houses were built here.

Master Ji lived with me in Unknown Village before, and he moved here after the wooden house here was built. We started to attack those stone mountains again in the name of mining. In fact, we used the stone mountains as the entrance and went straight to Don't worry in this deep mountain hinterland, our people are guarding the exit of Shitou Mountain, and now everyone thinks that we are digging there, and they don't know what's going on here. "

Chen Ningya nodded in understanding, and followed Wen Yuanhong into the wooden house.

Old Jitou had been waiting here for a long time, and when he met Chen Ningya's eyes, he winked at her, signaling her not to reveal his identity.

Chen Ningya was amused in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. After a few words of greetings with the old Jitou, she went straight to the point, "Where's the trick box? Didn't you say it was cracked?"

"It's cracked." Wen Yuanhong said, took out the box from the hidden compartment of a cabinet next to him, weighed it in his hand, and said: "I have studied it with Mr. Ji for several days and nights, and according to ancient records, there are still some Common mechanism design principles, the conclusion is that this is a Luban lock."

"Lu Bansuo?" Chen Ningya frowned, shaking her head in disapproval, "I know a thing or two about Lu Bansuo, it's not like this."

The old Jitou nodded, "Indeed, usually the appearance of the Luban lock we see is a seamless cross cube. This box does not conform to the characteristics of Luban lock from the appearance, but look!"

Said that the old Jitou pressed the four corners of the wooden box from the left and right sides of the wooden box one after the other, and the good wooden box immediately changed, which is really a bit like Lubansuo.

Chen Ningya's eyes widened in shock, "How did you find out about this?"

Wen Yuanhong smiled complacently, "Mother, although the wooden box is a standard rectangle, if you look closely, you can see that the entire surface has been cut into several small cuboids. If you can't find the right way, no matter how you break it Twist it and it won't change, but if you find the key to the first step, it's not that hard.

It is precisely because we guessed that it is a Luban lock, and because it does not look like a Luban lock, so we plan to find the first entry point and restore its original appearance. You see, this is its original appearance, but It's because the person who designed this mechanism is more ingenious, and it's just an extra step outside. "

Chen Ningya nodded again and again,

Curious, "And then?"

"Then?" Wen Yuanhong looked at the old Jitou, and said to Chen Ningya with some embarrassment: "Mother, we've just done this one step. Now that you're here, we can go on to the next step."

Chen Ningya: "...So I ran here from the outside just to watch this?"

"Mrs. Wen, you can't say that!" Old Jitou corrected seriously: "This thing is yours, and we need you to be present if we want to open it. If the treasure inside has nothing to do with the silver mine, we will I will return the item intact, and if the item is related to the silver mine, you have to verify it yourself, so as not to say that we are ignorant of your item."

Chen Ningya sneered twice, "Do I look like such a stingy person?"

Old Ji shook his head, "That's not to say, it's not easy to store the things here in this kind of mechanism box. You are the master, so it's better to have you present."

Chen Ningya took a deep breath, intending not to continue entangled in this topic, her eyes fell on the mechanism box, and said: "Then you open it now, I want to see how long it will take you to plan this box. !"

As she said that, she sat down angrily. Mosquitoes and moths are the most indispensable thing in the deep mountains in summer. The ground near the torch is full of dead moths, which is creepy to see.

While waving the mosquitoes, Chen Ningya supported her head to pay attention to the progress of old Jitou and Wen Yuanhong. She couldn't stop talking in her heart, and she didn't know how long it had passed. She fell asleep on the recliner in a daze. It was only after Wen Yuanhong woke her up that he carefully patted her, "Mother, the box is open."

With just one sentence, Chen Ningya woke up immediately, and looked at the table subconsciously, and saw some black iron and wooden strips scattered on the clean and tidy table, which no longer looked like a box, and a small jade pendant in the center, she His eyes narrowed immediately, and he rushed over, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, the complicated patterns on it would be hard to see clearly with a few more eyes.

Wen Yuanhong seemed a little disappointed, "It's really not something important, at least it has nothing to do with the silver mine. Master Ji and I took a rough look at it and thought it should be a jade card of a certain tribe, symbolizing a certain status, but I don't know Which tribe or clan is it, we don’t have the time to study it now. Return the things to Mother, once Mother has breakfast, let Shumo take you back after you recover.”

Chen Ningya nodded absent-mindedly, put the things into her arms, and said: "Okay, go and do your work. I'll go to the place where you work later. It's rare to go into the mountain. It's a pity if you don't go. Wait until the evening." It's time for us to go back together."
