Chapter 532： Disappointed

Chapter 532 Disappointment

Chen Ningya really wanted to ask Shumo, she only left for half a year, how did this kid become a talker, but after the carriage entered the mountain, she realized how important Shumo's kind reminder was, especially when she was beaten up in the mountains After eight primes, she wanted to kneel down to Shu Mo.

Wait until the carriage finally stopped in the middle of the night.

Chen Ningya's stomach turned upside down, she got out of the carriage and helped the tree by the roadside to vomit, Wen Yuanhong hurried over and patted her on the back worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Isn't it? Shumo is driving too fast?"

Wen Yuanhong glared at Shumo fiercely.

Shumo said innocently, "Second Master, I'm already very slow, but you know that the situation on the mountain road is as slow as an old ox pulling a cart, I'm afraid the mountain won't be able to come up, the little one has already paid attention. "

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, no matter how difficult the mountain road was in the past, it's not that I haven't traveled, I can't imagine that this mountain road is better than I did before. It's all rough, where are you?"

Chen Ningya slowed down and looked up, she was suddenly stunned, the surroundings were pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers.

Looking up with the limited light, she found that the trees here can really be described as covering the sky and the sun. The sky is blocked from the wind, and even if the moonlight is bright tonight, it cannot shine on the dark place.

The more she looked at her, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't care about her physical discomfort.

Wen Yuanhong supported her and explained: "Mother, it's not bad now, this is deep in the mountains, there are dense forests, even the old hunters dare not step in easily, but it took us several months to barely open a direct line. On the mountain road, a few wooden houses were built here.

Before, Master Ji lived with me in Zhizhai Village. He moved here after the wooden house was built. We started again with the stone mountains in the name of mining. In fact, we took Stone Mountain as the entrance and went straight to This deep mountain hinterland, you can rest assured that our people are guarding the exit of Stone Mountain. Now everyone thinks that we are mining there, and they don't know the situation here. "

Chen Ningya nodded clearly and followed Wen Yuanhong into the wooden house.

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

Chen Ningya was amused, but she didn't show it on her face. After greeting the old Jitou, she went straight to the topic, "Where's the mechanism box? Didn't you say it was cracked?"

"It's cracked." Wen Yuanhong said, took out the box from the dark compartment of a cabinet on the side, weighed it in his hand, and said, "I studied with Master Ji for several days and nights. According to ancient records, there are still some Commonly used mechanism design principles, the conclusion is that this is a Luban lock."

"Luban lock?" Chen Ningya frowned and shook her head in disapproval, "I know a thing or two about Luban lock, it's not like this."

Old Jitou nodded, "Indeed, the appearance of Luban locks that we usually look at is a cross-cube that fits neatly. This box does not conform to the characteristics of Luban locks 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 a good wooden box immediately changed, which really means Luban lock.

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

Wen Yuanhong smiled smugly, "Mother, although the wooden box is a standard rectangle, you can see that the entire surface has been cut into several small rectangular blocks. If you find the wrong way, no matter how you break it. It won't change, but if you find the key to the first step, it's not difficult.

It is precisely because we guessed that it is a Luban lock, and because the appearance does not have the characteristics of Luban lock, 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 people who designed this mechanism are more ingenious, and they have done one more step outside. "

Chen Ningya nodded again and again, curious, "Then what?"

"Then?" Wen Yuanhong looked at the old Jitou, and said to Chen Ningya a little embarrassedly: "Mother, we have only done this step. Now that you are here, we can also continue to the next step."

Chen Ningya: "So I came here from the outside after all the hard work just to see this?"

"Mrs. Wen, you can't say that!" Old Jitou sternly corrected: "This thing is yours, we need you to be present even if we want to open it. If the treasure inside has nothing to do with the silver mine, we will also The things will be returned as they are, and if the things are related to the silver mine, you should verify it yourself, so as not to say that we have misunderstood your things.”

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

Old Jitou shook his head, "That's not what I said. It's not easy to use this kind of trap box for the things here. You are the master, and it's better to have you present."

Chen Ningya took a deep breath, intending not to dwell on this topic, her eyes fell on the box, and said, "Then you have opened 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 things in the deep mountains in summer. The places near the torches are full of dead moths, which makes people horrified.

Chen Ningya waved the mosquitoes while keeping her head up to pay attention to the progress of Lao Jitou and Wen Yuanhong. She couldn't stop talking in her heart. She didn't know how long it took. Wen Yuanhong carefully woke her up after the light was on, "Mother, the box is open."

Just one sentence, Chen Ningya immediately woke up and looked at the table subconsciously, only to see some black iron wooden bars scattered on the clean and tidy table. It looked like there was no box. There was a small jade pendant in the center. His eyes narrowed immediately, and he rushed over three or two times. He picked up the jade pendant and took a closer look. The complicated pattern on the top was even more than a few eyes could not see clearly.

Wen Yuanhong looked a little disappointed, "It's really not an important thing, at least it has nothing to do with silver mines, I took a cursory look with Mr. Ji and thought that this thing should be a jade badge of a certain tribe, symbolizing a certain identity, but I don't know. Which tribe or clan is it, we don’t have the spare time to study it now. The things are returned to my mother, and once my son has breakfast, I will let Shumo take you back.”

Chen Ningya nodded absentmindedly, put the things in her arms, and said, "Okay, you can go and do your work. I'll go around the place where you work, it's rare to go into the mountains, it's a pity not to go, wait for the evening. Let's go back together."
