Jianbao Lingyan

Chapter 17 The Forgotten Baby

A large plate of pork ribs, two catties of sauced beef, a pot of vegetable soup, a roast chicken, a steamed partial fish, ten steamed buns, and three bottles of Erguotou.

Xu Wei looked at the clock, it was only three o'clock, but the table was already full of food.

At the dinner table, Qu Feng and Chen Zhibei drank and ate meat, talking about their experiences in the past two years.

This gave Xu You a lot of insight, and also had a deep understanding of the two of them.

For example, Xu Wei knew that Chen Zhibei was a monkey who refused to obey discipline during the first two years in the army. He often caused trouble for the squad leader, and was later selected into the special forces.Xu Er guessed that he might have obtained his third-class merit at that time.

Qu Feng's experience in the past two years is even more legendary.

Qu Feng retired from the army three years ago. He used to be Chen Zhibei's deputy squad leader, from his hometown in Henan.After retiring from the army, I went south to do business with a few fellow villagers, and later went to Xiangjiang, but it was a side business. I didn't say what genre it was, and Xu Wei didn't ask.

While drinking, Qu Feng kept saying that Chen Zhibei had helped him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out now.And he patted his chest to promise that he would not do that in the future.

It was only then that Xu Er realized that what Chen Zhibei had asked for when he treated Mr. Lu was probably to help Qu Feng solve his troubles in Xiangjiang.

Later, both of them were drunk and unconscious, and it was Xu Er who cleaned up the table and threw them on the bed.

The next day, when the wind came up, I saw Xu Wei sitting in the living room holding a copper incense burner, frowning.

"Xiaoer is really troublesome to you. I helped my brother to the bed yesterday. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, you can just throw me in the living room. It doesn't need to be so troublesome." When drinking yesterday, several people Qu Feng followed Chen Zhibei and called him Xiao Er, and Xu Wei also changed his name to Qu Feng Qu Ge. It is said that the two have a comrade-in-arms also surnamed Qu, who is a little older than both of them.

"How can I do that? I'll get sick." Xu Wei shook his head, "I'm so strong, I'm going to work in the fields, it's fine."

Having said that, Xu You looks thin and small, mainly because he has been suffering from malnutrition and physical labor during the growth and development period. Coupled with his simple and honest baby face, he looks small in this way.However, Xu You's physical strength is very good, and it's no problem for two people to go back and forth from the small second floor for things that weigh dozens of kilograms.

Especially after drinking the bitter medicine juice made by Chen Zhibei, my body is getting better and better, I have grown taller, my hair is no longer yellow, and my strength has also increased, but my skin has turned white, as if the skin has faded like.

"I'll cook today, let you taste your brother Qu's cooking, and say, what do you want to eat?"

Thinking that Chen Zhibei drank a lot yesterday, and his alcohol capacity was not high, he went to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to do a big job.

"I've bought it, and there's a breakfast shop when I walk around, two catties of fried dough sticks, half a catty of soy milk, and small pickles." Knowing that the two of them drank too much and couldn't get up to cook, Xu Wei went to buy breakfast together. It was past eight o'clock, and one of them didn't get up. I felt that I was very prescient.

Just as he was talking, Chen Zhibei also got up, looking very energetic, and greeted the two of them when he came to the living room, as soon as he entered, he saw the fried dough sticks and soy milk he bought, didn't say anything, just called the two of them to come over Have a meal.

"Why didn't you go to the store today?" Seeing that it was already eight o'clock, Chen Zhibei asked Xu Er strangely.

"The third uncle is going to renovate the two shops, so we are on vacation." Xu Wei said while drinking soy milk, "Brother Beizi, are you going to the car factory today? Do you have someone who can open the copper?" That kind of welding gun? Can you borrow it, I want to use it."

"Is something broken at home? Don't borrow it, I have it." Qu Feng said after eating a deep-fried dough stick.

"It's not broken, but I want to open something and take out the contents." Xu Wei shook his head, "Brother Qu, do you still have a welding torch?"

"No, but there are similar things, and the lock is broken?" Qu Feng thought that Xu Wei put something in the box, and the lock was broken and he couldn't get it out.

Xu Wei drank the whole bowl of soy milk, then brought the copper incense burner over, "Open this, there's something in it."

Qu Feng wiped his hands, picked up the copper censer, followed where Xu Er pointed, and indeed saw a seam.

"Hey, what is it hiding, it's so tight." Qu Feng is also a person who has seen the world, and thinks that the welding is very good. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. It's not simple to think about the things inside.

"I think it's a treasure map." It's so precious, people always come to grab it, and the things are not big, so Xu Wei thinks it should be something like a treasure map.

Qu Feng raised his head in surprise, "Have you read too many novels?"

"Hey." Xu Wei smirked embarrassedly, Chen Zhibei couldn't see it, "Open it and you'll know."

As soon as Qu Feng thought about it, he got up and went to the room to take out his big bag, took out a lot of parts from it, and pieced it together into something that looked a bit like an electric welding torch, but it was better than anything Xu Wei had ever seen. Be smaller.

"Fortunately, the guy who was eating didn't throw it away." Connected to the gas tank, a beam of flames spewed out from the tip of the gun. Qufeng controlled the flames, carefully melted the base of the copper incense burner, and pried it open.

In an instant, the whole room was filled with golden light, but it didn't look magnificent, but had a sense of solemnity and solemnity.I don't know if it's an illusion, but the temperature in the room seems to have risen a bit.

Seeing the yellow silk bag embroidered with dark patterns, Xu Wei couldn't understand, did people in ancient times always wrap things in cloth bags when they hid things, and it had to be made of silk, otherwise it wouldn't look expensive.

"Yellow, didn't the ancients only use yellow for the emperor? It's still the emperor's treasure?" When Qu Feng melted the base, he found that the inlay technique of the base was not a modern technology, so he also felt that what was hidden in the incense burner was a baby.

"No, in fact, Buddhists also use yellow, and the emperor uses bright yellow. As for this..."

Forgive Xu Wei, although I can see the colors now, I really don't know what the specific color is called, how to divide it.

"It looks like the color of the monk's clothes." Chen Zhibei looked at it and said.

"Monk's stuff? Well, it's possible. Isn't this censer just for burning incense and worshiping Buddha?" Qu Feng thought it made sense, and nodded, "Xiao Er, open it, and let my brother and I learn a lot."

"okay."

Opening the belt of the cloth bag, Xu Wei carefully poured the contents on the coffee table, and saw three round things that were like dewdrops, close to milky white but slightly yellowish and transparent, and the surface was as smooth as jade falling on the coffee table superior.

What's this?Xu Wei picked up something that was suspected to be a bead, but he didn't think it was a natural product. It felt a bit like the red bracelet with a crane top that he had seen at Wu Pan's house before.

Looking up, each bead has a faint halo composed of a pattern that is suspected to be a "卍" shape. The halo of one is no more than half a meter long. A halo of two and a half meters formed, and the word "卍" also became clearer.

Xu You rubbed his eyes, thinking that the halo would produce a "swastika" pattern because of the refraction of light and shadow.

"Oh, there is still a smell." Qu Feng didn't know what it was, so he took it under his nose and smelled it.

Xu You also took the beads under his nose and smelled them, and there was indeed a faint sandalwood fragrance.

"It seems that the incense in the temple was good back then, and they all incensed this thing." Qu Feng didn't take it seriously at all, and came to joke.

Incense?Xu Wei felt that something was wrong, and they were all hidden in the incense burner, which was airtight, how could the sandalwood aroma get in.

But what exactly is this, Xu Wei has never seen it before, and has no clue at all.

"Bones." Chen Zhibei guessed hesitantly.

"I'll go, don't disgust me, how do you know?" Qu Feng almost threw the thing in his hand when he heard it.

"During the mission, I burned animals, kind of like that."

"Oh, it's like, it scared me to death."

"There are writings on the body of the censer." Xu Wei couldn't figure it out, and planned to put it away and go to the Antique Street to ask tomorrow, when he saw the censer, which had been neglected before, had writings in the hollowed out place.

Qu Feng was the closest, and picked up the incense burner. Chen Zhibei took out the flashlight, and with a strong light, he could see the hollowed out inside of the incense burner, with embossed characters.

"This thing looks like a tadpole. What is it written in?" Qu Feng couldn't understand it, but neither could the other two.

"Sanskrit?" The monk's things must be in Sanskrit.Xu You was not sure either, after all, he had never seen it before.

"What is that, who can understand it?" Qu Feng scratched his head, never heard of Sanskrit or something.

"Why don't you ask a monk who can do it?" Qu Feng couldn't make up his mind, this is really a treasure, so let others know, so the selection of candidates is very important, not just anyone who can do it.

"Will the third aunt's father know, or know someone who can understand? He seems to be a linguistics professor at Shanghai University, but he is retired." Guo Meili's father is a retired professor at Shanghai University, specializing in Latin .

"Go get the camera." Chen Zhibei thought it was okay, but he didn't intend to take the things over.

If the film camera was used to develop photos without running out, the negatives would be wasted. It happened that the three of them had nothing to do, so Chen Zhibei took the two of them around Puxi and wiped all the rubber rings in the camera. I used it, and then I found a photo studio near my home and developed the photos, but I had to wait in line to get them after three days.

Xu Er didn't take it seriously, anyway, the thing was in his hands, and he just wanted to know what it was in his hand. If it was a treasure of Buddhism, if his family didn't believe in Buddhism, he could transfer it to someone who believed in Buddhism. People, maybe the house will be settled.

The house I live in now is also very good, but after all, the house is owned by someone else, and I only charge a symbolic amount of money every month, so Xu Wei is really embarrassed to live in it all the time.

Before returning home, a few people went to a small stall on Dongtai Road and bought a small wooden box with lotus flowers carved on the outside. Although it looked like it was processed by a modern machine, the size of the box was suitable and the pattern was suitable for the occasion, so Xu Wei didn't choose it. What.

In the next few days, Chen Zhibei often got together with Qu Feng, chatting about something, although he didn't avoid himself on purpose, but Xu Er didn't have any curiosity, but he knew roughly that Chen Zhibei planned to take out all the money and go to Travel around Thailand and Xiangjiang to invest.

Xu You didn't understand the specifics of investment, such as Hang Seng, daily limit, investment bank, Xu You didn't understand a single word, but this didn't prevent him from giving Chen Zhibei his bank card to invest in shares.

A week later, Xu Wei received a call from his third uncle, Xu Yanzhen, asking him to go out with his things and go to the third aunt's natal house. Mr. Guo wanted to see him.
