Chapter 214: hide something
Chapter 214 Hiding something
Qin Sanlang looked around and made sure there was no one hiding nearby, then opened the bag.
The bag is a burlap bag, and there is a cotton bag inside the sack.
Qin Sanlang took something out of the cotton bag. The thing was wrapped in red silk and looked very precious.
Qin Sanlang lifted up the red silk cloth layer by layer, revealing a curved iron plate.
It's not necessarily an iron plate. The surface of this iron plate has a bit of patina...
“This is bronze.” Gu Jinli’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Was Qin Sanlang planning to give her a piece of bronze?
“It’s made of bronze.” Qin Sanlang nodded and handed the bronze plate to her: “This is the gift I want to give you.”
Gu Jinli took the bronze plate. It was so heavy that he needed to hold it with both hands: "Have you always been carrying such a heavy thing?"
The bronze plate is nearly a foot long and a hand high, which is quite large.
“Well, I kept it tied to my waist when I was escaping from famine.” Qin Sanlang whispered.
Gu Jinli squinted his eyes under the moonlight and looked at the curved bronze plate. The bronze plate was engraved with characters of different sizes, ranging from the size of a thumb to the size of a mung bean. There were many small characters and they were densely packed.
The moonlight was not bright enough, so she squinted for a while and could only make out the thumb-sized characters, but not the small characters. Even so, she was quite frightened.
Hand in waiting.
Hereditary succession.
It can’t be what she thinks.
“This is... the Alchemy Iron Coupon?” Gu Jinli asked.
Qin Sanlang nodded and said, "Well, it's the Iron Coupon of Alchemy Book given to me when I was ennobled. It's a family heirloom."
Gu Jinli haha, she actually saw the legendary Iron Coupon of Alchemy Book!
"If you give me this thing, won't your ancestors come and strangle you to death in your sleep at night?" Gu Jinli asked in a low voice, fearing that if he asked too loudly, someone would hear him, and his family would be arrested and beheaded. head.
Qin Sanlang paused after hearing this and said, "This is the best gift I can give now."
“Then you might as well not give it to me. This gift is hot to the touch, don’t you know?” Giving her an iron coupon with an alchemy book ennobling her is because she is tired of living. Do you want to help her and send her to heaven?
Qin Sanlang said: "You bury the iron coupon of the alchemy book so that no one will find it. When you need it, you can dig it out again."
As long as the identities of the three of them are not exposed, even if others come to check her, nothing will be found. She was a little girl who had escaped from famine. Her parents and grandparents were well-identified. She could find out who they were five generations ago.
When Gu Jinli heard this, he looked at Qin Sanlang... Under the moonlight, the young man's handsome face was serious, and his eyes were slightly deep under his sword-shaped eyebrows, looking at her unblinkingly.
“What if I’m unlucky and I’m found?” she asked.
"No, the emperor is busy looking for my uncle and my second brother's uncle now. He must have thought that this iron coupon is in my uncle's hands and would not have thought that it was hidden in the countryside in the south." Qin Sanlang lowered his voice very low. Gao: "My second brother and I have no old friendship. Our old headquarters are in the south. The emperor will not go south to look for people."
This is exactly why the second brother resists coming to the south.
There is no reason to contact the old tribe in the south. It is a waste of time to come here and there is no way to contact the old tribe for revenge.
Gu Jinli was silent when he heard this, looked at the young man in front of him, squinted his eyes and asked: "You are fake in giving gifts, but you are serious in wanting to hide this thing with me, right?"
“Why do I feel like I’m being used?” Gu Jinli asked, suddenly feeling very unhappy! This alchemy iron coupon is indeed a good thing. If Qin Sanlang's family gets rich, she can exchange it for countless gold and silver treasures. If Qin Sanlang's family was caught, she could take out this piece of information and report it to Qin Sanlang's family. If she was lucky, she would indeed get some credit.
It's terrible. Before Qin Sanlang's family got up and before he was arrested, someone suddenly came from the capital and found this place. If this iron coupon is found, their family, and even the entire Dafeng Village will die!
Qin Sanlang was stunned, looked at her, shook his head and said: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to give you the most valuable thing I have."
Added another sentence: "I have no intention of using you again."
Use you again?
Gu Jinli chuckled, pointed at his wrist and said, "Is your hand healed?"
Qin Sanlang knew what she was asking and replied, "No." He had just bitten the bite the day before yesterday, how could it heal so quickly? The scab had just formed.
Gu Jinli smiled: "It's okay if it doesn't go well."
Her expression changed, she pointed at his hand and said: "Roll up your sleeves for me!"
Qin Sanlang was stunned for a while, then rolled up his sleeves obediently, and handed the hand she bitten to her: "You have washed it, you can bite it."
Gu Jinli sneered, grabbed his hand, and bit it **** the previous wound.
“Hiss~” Qin Sanlang is not afraid of pain, but this time she bit harder than last time.
Gu Jinli bit Qin Sanlang's wrist until it bled again. If her teeth hadn't been replaced yet, she could have bitten his hand to pieces!
After finishing the bite, Gu Jinli finally felt less depressed.
"I've collected this thing." Gu Jinli wrapped the iron coupon of the alchemy book and put it into the sack: "Although it is a hot potato, it is still of some value. Anyway, your grandparents have caused enough trouble for our family. Okay, this is the best thing to do.”
Qin Sanlang was a little embarrassed by what she said.
Gu Jinli glanced at him and saw that he had his head lowered. He couldn't scold him any more, so he said, "Let's go to Laojing and hide this thing while no one is around in the middle of the night."
She originally planned to hide the alchemy iron coupon in the mountains or bury it underground at home, but thinking about it, it would be tragic if someone dug it up. Only the walls of the old well are the safest.
Qin Sanlang nodded, and the two of them walked quietly, taking advantage of the night, to the old well at the end of the village.
Qin Sanlang untied the rope from his waist, tied one end of the rope to the windlass of the old well, and tied the other end to his own waist, and said to Gu Jinli: "You squat down first, I will go down and hide the iron coupons, and I will come up soon."
After saying that, he held the rope, stepped on the well wall with his feet, and jumped down bit by bit.
Gu Jinli squatted down and hid by the old well, waiting silently. Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Sanlang finally came up from the well.
His body was still very dry, but the hem of his clothes was a little wet, and there was dirt and moss on his head and hands.
He untied the rope, put it away, hung it back around his waist, and said to her: "Hide it. It's on the left wall of the well, three feet high from the well water. It's the Qing Dynasty that pried open the well wall. Bricks, after digging out the soil inside, hiding the iron coupons inside, and then sealing them with soil and green bricks."
Qin Sanlang carries a dagger and a machete on his body. It is not difficult to pry open a few bricks.
Gu Jinli nodded: "Just put it away and go back. If you stay out for too long, you will be discovered."
Qin Sanlang said: "Don't worry, my second brother won't be suspicious. He's keeping watch in the workshop. I've been angry with him recently. If I didn't go to the workshop tonight, he won't find out that I came to see you."
If the second brother was at home, or if he and the second brother were guarding the workshop together, it would be impossible for him to escape the second brother's eyes and come here to find her.
