Shopkeeper Song is very fond of Peking Opera.

When he has nothing to do, he often hums a few lines in Yingqing Pavilion.

Especially love to sing "Empty City Plan".

Once in Yingqing Pavilion, he once discussed with me: "In those days, if you lay hidden in the Longzhong, you couldn't reach Wuzhangyuan in the autumn wind. Zhuge Liang shouldn't go out of the mountain. It's good to read, write and recite poems in Wolonggang. After he came out of the mountain, his life was doomed. It's a tragedy, no matter how good he is."

At that time, I just thought it was a simple and sour old shopkeeper hanging the book bag.

Today, shopkeeper Song used the aria "Empty City Strategies" to annotate his life.

He does it all.

But maybe, he just wants to be an old shopkeeper.

People in the arena involuntarily.

……

After the public came, Lu Cenyin and I were taken to take notes.

After I came out, I could no longer bear the injuries on my body and passed out while sitting in the car.

When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Lu Cenyin is not around, she must have gone to get me medicine or pay the bill.

I thought over and over again what shopkeeper Song said before he died.

Although Shopkeeper Song is dead, things are not without fruit.

At least one of the biggest targets has surfaced.

old manager.

Manager, shopkeeper, imperial envoy, treasurer, these are the exclusive vocabulary of the antique business.

Lu Cenyin is the chief manager of Yingqing Pavilion.

There are many things, but the context is very simple.

Becoming a god and taking revenge are my only two goals.

Sister Jiuer intentionally made her last stop in Jinling. If she wanted to become a god in the antique world, she would definitely have to avoid the Lu family, the number one family of antiques in Jinling.

The old man Hua tried every means to help me help Lu Cenyin win the position of Patriarch of the Lu family, and deliberately showed me the unique skill of picking flowers and bergamot that only my mother could. This is like telling me that the clue must be hidden in the Inside the Lu family's world treasure.

Whether it was Sister Jiu'er or Old Man Hua, they all pointed to the Lu family as a clue.

But this old manager tried his best to prevent me from approaching it.

Judging from this, the old manager is inseparable from the death of my parents.

It can even be preliminarily speculated that the old manager is the murderer of my parents.

But now, he failed and I succeeded.

The most urgent task at the moment is to quickly untie the mechanism of the statue of the landlord Lao Cai carrying the rice bag.

Lu Cenyin came in with medicine from outside.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked haggard, which made people feel extremely distressed.

This kind girl has always been a pawn in other people's games.

On a certain level, she is also a pawn for me to break the game.

But she is innocent.

Lu Cenyin said softly: "The doctor said, you have serious internal injuries, you should pay attention to rest."

I replied: "It's okay, you haven't closed your eyes all this time?"

Lu Cenyin let out a long sigh, and said, "I can't close my eyes...I've been doing mental construction."

I comforted me: "Not everyone around you is Shopkeeper Song. For example, Uncle Wang, he will definitely stand with you all the time."

Hearing this, Lu Cenyin stared at me blankly for a while and asked, "What about you?"

"I can do it too!"

"What if the Lu family is the enemy who killed your parents?"

"It has nothing to do with you. You were young then, and so was I."

"What if it has something to do with my father?"

"..."

Seeing that I was silent, Lu Cenyin's expression was extremely sad, and she said softly, "You take good care of your illness, and I have to deal with the funeral of Shopkeeper Song."

After speaking.

She turned and left the hospital.

It wasn't until later that I discovered the tolerance and forbearance in this girl's character.

Shopkeeper Song died extremely tragically. Lu Cenyin did not pursue the matter that he poisoned Lu Zhijie back then, nor did he tell the Lu family the truth about it. He only announced that Shopkeeper Song suffered from depression and died by self-immolation. The compensation money will be given to Shopkeeper Song's account.

That account has always been used by Shopkeeper Song's wife and children abroad.

After Shopkeeper Song's death, if the old manager followed the rules of the world, he would no longer hold Shopkeeper Song's wife and children hostage. It would be useless, but his wife and children still have to live.

Lu Cenyin's actions showed the best side of human nature.

I was rushed out of the hospital that day.

Because I received a call from Hu Sansiao, all the key diagrams for opening the mechanism have been drawn.

When he arrived at Hu Sanmiao's house in Suolong Lane, Xiao Zhu was cooking soup in front of the small coal stove in the yard.

After she saw me, she smiled sweetly: "Brother."

Hu Sanmiao was holding a picture in his hand, facing the setting sun, looking around with a very satisfied expression.

After hearing the voice, he turned his head, pointed at Xiao Zhu and said, "Xiao Su, this girl said she was your sister, she doesn't look like her!"

"She drove away a thief for me that night, and then she didn't want to leave, saying that you told her that this institution is related to a big treasure of your family, and I'm afraid there are thieves who will miss it, come to steal the key map, and protect it Me, isn't that so?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhu felt a little shy.

As long as she lied, it was this expression.

I replied: "Yes."

Hu Sanmiao said: "However, I really like this little girl. She looks pretty, cooks deliciously, and speaks sweetly. I asked her to be my goddaughter, but she won't do it."

Xiaozhu raised her mouth and said, "Master Hu, don't talk about it anymore. To be your goddaughter, I want to learn how to solve the mechanism from you. She also said that she will plan wood for ten years, so I won't do it!"

Hu Sanmiao heard the words, frowned and said: "You girl... there are so many people in the world who want to worship me as a teacher, and I don't want to accept it. Why don't you?"

Xiaozhu replied: "No!"

The fate between people is too wonderful.

Hu Sansiao is such a big weirdo, and after spending a short time with Xiaozhu, he even offered to take her as his apprentice.

I smiled and said, "Master Hu, don't force her, she doesn't have the heart."

Hu Sanmiao looked very regretful, sighed, and muttered to himself: "I'm afraid this craft will be lost."

After speaking.

Hu Sanshou took the picture and put it on the tea table for me to see.

This is a structural diagram of a small key. In addition to drawing the overall shape, lines are drawn with fine brushwork on the side, marking the various metal materials and specific formulas required for pouring.

As neat as it was printed.

I admire Hu Sanmiao's skill completely.

I can't understand the standard materials and specific formulas next to it.

But I always feel that this key seems to be similar, and I can't remember where I saw it for a while.

Hu Sanmiao explained to me: "In the past few days, I will collect metal materials according to the pouring ratio here, and cast and touch them. Xiao Su, don't worry, what Hu Sanmiao promised, I will definitely use this key Build it, no matter how long it takes!"

Xiao Zhu asked with wide eyes: "Master Hu, how long will you be here?"

Hu Sans replied: "Maybe, maybe soon, maybe a few years..."

When Xiaozhu heard this, his mouth curled up again.

I know Xiaozhu's thoughts.

If Hu Sanshou couldn't build it, then Xiaozhu could only stay here to protect him.

This girl actually wants to follow me.

I stared at the picture for a few more seconds, closed my eyes, and recalled it carefully.

My brain suddenly exploded.

Why is this key so similar to the Luban key I found last time when I cleaned up antiques in Baoguxuan? !
