Wings of Hung Chien - Chapter 42
April, on a beautiful day.
Construction of Si Hongcang’s home has started, and the building is about to begin!
Saying it was a villa was not a copy of the buildings from her previous life, but a scaled-down building-style building modified from a Chinese-style courtyard.
The house is made of wood, clay, brick and other materials.
Because the house was expanded and rebuilt in situ. Therefore, Si Hongcang and Bai Yi stayed overnight at the Yun family. Fortunately, when the Yun family started to build the house, they had already reserved a few rooms, thinking that it would be enough if there were more children.
However, in fact, the Yun family’s father, the Song family, gave birth to five children. As a result, the eldest daughter, the third daughter and the youngest boy died prematurely, so now the only children of the Yun family are Yun Tian and Yun Ruo.
The Song family loves children especially, especially his ugly son Yun Ruo.
Except for Shuimu Civil Engineering who specially hired professionals, Si Hongcang hired a lesser family in the village to help out, so that they could earn some good money to support the family.
The construction site is in full swing! The women pick bricks, prepare the ground, and do rough work, while the men are responsible for the cooking, snacks, and tea supply.
Since it is to be rebuilt in situ, it is necessary to knock down the old house first.
After the roof was removed, the rammed earth wall on the east side was finished, and the rammed earth wall on the west side was replaced.
At this time, someone shouted, “A Cang! Come and see, there’s a beautiful little yellow wooden box buried in this earth ram of your house!” (Because poor people have never seen gold! So I can’t describe what she is doing. It looks like it has a golden golden color, so it is said to be yellow.)
All of them are honest and kind peasants. In addition, during the Spring Festival this year, Si Hongcang also helped their children and earned a generous annuity for the family. Now, she still finds them to help her in the local reconstruction of her home. Not only does she pay twice as much as others, but she also manages two meals. Everyone is very grateful to her. Therefore, everyone would not dare, nor would they have any greed, for having such a beautiful thing in the Si Hongcang family.
After hearing this, Si Hongcang, who was in command of the operation, felt suspicious, but still ran over to take a look.
Hearing this, Bai Yi also turned around and glanced at the small golden wooden box with delicate patterns on it.
This shot ——-
In an instant, Bai Yi’s eyes widened involuntarily! My heart tensed up….
Look, that wood grain has a dazzling and very beautiful golden color. It is made of the finest golden nanmu wood! Just its color and the wood grain it presents, the value of this golden nanmu wood box is beyond what ordinary wealthy people can afford.
Si Hongcang squatted down, stretched out his hand, and took out the box, which was made of golden nanmu. Only the soil next to the palm-sized small wooden box was pushed aside and loosened a few times from side to side.
After looking at the box up and down, left and right, she asked people to continue the next work. And she called Bai Yi, and the two took the box to the bottom of the tree far away from the crowd, and began to study the structure of the box.
This is not an ordinary wooden box. Generally, the wooden box is made of six pieces of wood, and a lock is placed between the lid and the box. However, although this wooden box has seams, it does not have a lock? Because if you look closely, it is composed of pieces of wood, which are combined by overlapping or fitting.
This discovery made Si Hongcang very surprised and excited! Because the workmanship of this wooden box is so exquisite! It is like the educational toys used to play building blocks in the previous life, but it is hundreds of times more complicated and difficult than the educational toys in the previous life.
Si Hongcang, who has always liked to play with such educational toys, now has very bright eyes! Start researching the box right away and see how to open it!
“This box is really ingenious! People who can make such craftsmanship are definitely not ordinary carpenters!” Looking at the box, Si Hongcang exclaimed with excitement.
Of course! This is a generation of withering masters—–Mr. Murongsheng, who spent his whole life refining and refining eight masterpieces: Ye Zhe, Tianliu, Cangmen, Yinluo, Shangtian, Cangguo, Xinluo, etc. One of them —— Xuanwei!
Since her death, the wooden box she made, let alone ordinary people can’t open it, even those who own this wooden box have to follow the map to open it!
Bai Yi glanced at her and asked inadvertently, but his thoughts were already twisting and turning, “You didn’t know you had this box at home?”
“I don’t know.” Si Hongcang shook his head flatly.
Looking at her, Bai Yi knew that Si Hongcang had not lied to her. The age of the old house was exactly the same age as Si Hongcang’s body. Moreover, the box seems to have been deliberately rammed into the earth at the same time as the old house was built.
Si Hongcang didn’t ask Bai Yi a word, and concentrated on finding a way to open the wooden box.
To open the box, it doesn’t take a while to open it immediately. But for Si Hongcang, who loves to play with this kind of educational combination toys, it’s really not too difficult for her! It’s just a matter of time to unlock this little box.
It’s much easier to unpack the wooden box just by finding the wooden bolt that opens the door.
After flipping and touching, Si Hongcang touched a wooden stick, although it was still stuck tightly. However, it was the only piece of wood that could be moved. As if she had found the opening of the box, she pressed the loose piece of wood slightly with her fingertips.
After hearing the sound of “click”, the wooden stick bounced up!
“Aha! I found an opening!” Si Hongcang said excitedly.
Si Hongcang followed the bouncing wooden stick, and took a closer look at the structure of the wooden stick. The structure of each slat is different. There are positive and negative tenons, concave and convex grooves, double ridges, and single ridges….
Generally speaking, this small wooden box is a bit like the architectural principle of building houses with wood in ancient China, but the method is more sophisticated.
Bai Yi was extremely surprised after hearing the “click”. Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, Si Hongcang actually took apart the small wooden box piece by piece? !
And what shocked her even more was still to come!
A piece of things that shouldn’t appear in the folk, unexpectedly appeared in front of her eyes!
“Wow! What is this? I have never seen such a blood-red jade pendant! There is also a lifelike flying phoenix on it…”
Is it actually the Blood Jade Fengxiang Jade Pendant? ! Although Bai Yi saw it with her own eyes for the first time today, her master had imprinted the image of this jade pendant in her heart since she was a child!
Unexpectedly, the things that should have been lost will appear in this far away mountain, village and forest…
No, it is also related to Ah Cang, because… her surname is Si Hong! Therefore, this piece of blood jade should appear here as a matter of course.
Bai Yi clenched his fists and looked at Si Hongcang with fixed eyes, and the expression on his face became quite complicated. Also, it is difficult to describe her mood at the moment in words.
The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop.
The previous speculation, only five points….
now——-
How to do?
Continue to sting? Or born in shock?
…… This problem, leave it to the master and the old man!
Thinking of this, she touched her head, which used to be the place where her master was often bombarded.
super painful…
“Put it away.” Bai Yi said to Si Hongcang with a serious face. After seeing her put it away, he continued, “It’s best not to let people know about this jade pendant, not even Yuntian’s family.”
Of course, when Bai Yi saw Yu Pei’s face, his expression changed from surprise to seriousness. Si Hongcang glanced at the bottom of his eyes, but he had already guessed a few points in his heart. Because the flying phoenix on the jade pendant was the main reason for her vigilance.
If this piece of blood jade withered anything, it would be fine, but the one withered on it was a flying phoenix soaring in the sky! You must know that the phoenix of Nvzunguo is equal to the dragon of her previous life, and it represents Tianting. It can be seen that this Fengxiang jade pendant is not just a blood red jade pendant. There is definitely a story behind this Fengxiang jade pendant.
No matter what is special or the story behind this jade pendant, I hope this thing belonged to the Si Hong family five hundred years ago and has nothing to do with her!
No matter what Si Hongcang thought, he never thought that this jade pendant was related to the true identity of her body.
Si Hongcang’s eyes at this moment are no longer innocent. But a pair of looks restored to her actual age.
Looking at Si Hongcang’s eyes, Bai Yi was struck by her beyond-age and unpredictable look, coupled with the invisible coercion emanating from her, which made Bai Yi feel like a mountain topping down. In the oppression, the heart can not help but suffocate!
The eyes were clearly asking her, “Do you know the origin of this jade pendant?”
“…” Bai Yi didn’t answer, just looked at Si Hongcang silently.
Even so, Si Hongcang still took it as her acquiescence. But seeing Bai Yi was reluctant to speak. The bottom of my heart solves it for myself: it should be her difficulty.
And she is not a person who likes to break the casserole and ask to the end. Also, she also realized that if Bai Yiruo really told her the origin of the jade pendant, then the friendship between them should be over, right? !
If the friendship between them was destroyed only by a dead object. That’s too bullshit! This is not what she likes. Thinking of this, Si Hongcang changed the subject.
“The person who made this box is very ingenious.”
“Yeah. There is only one person in the world who can make this box—a generation of wither carving masters, Murong Sheng.” He took a deep breath, knowing that Si Hongcang had deliberately ignored the let-down just now. She was a bit embarrassed about the topic, so she deliberately changed the topic. As smart as she is, you should follow her down the steps.
Of course, Si Hongcang definitely didn’t think as much as Bai Yi. Therefore, if Bai Yi wants to answer, he must be able to prevaricate Si Hongcang with just one sentence. But she didn’t, because she didn’t want to deceive Si Hongcang, but some words were not the time to be honest with Si Hongcang.
The most important thing is that in her eyes, Si Hongcang is not only her friend, she even considers Si Hongcang as someone who can live with her.
