My husband is a sick cat

Chapter 236 Dilemma

Tang Ying had just carefully selected a few pieces of jewelry that could be taken away when he heard Lu Jian's cry. He immediately put down the jewelry in his hand and ran over quickly, fearing that Lu Jian would encounter some danger.

As a result, as soon as he ran to the door of the stone room, just like Lu Jian, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

However, he quickly regained his composure, walked in, handed the selected jewelry to Lu Jian, and walked forward to check the tablets.

These tablets were covered with dust and the writing was blurred. He could only take out his handkerchief and carefully wipe one of the tablets until the dust on it was wiped away and the writing was clearly visible.

When Tang Ying saw the name on the tablet clearly, he couldn't help but feel that this was indeed the case.

The name on this tablet is exactly the name of one of the previous emperors.

Then, he counted the number of tablets. There were eleven in total. When the previous dynasty fell, there were exactly ten emperors. The extra one should be the descendant of the royal family who fled into Qilin Mountain.

Tang Ying's eyes fell on the extra tablet, as if traveling through time and space, he saw the descendant of the royal family who had fled.

He seemed to see the royal descendant running around in Qilin Mountain, avoiding pursuit.

He seemed to see the descendant of the royal family trying to establish his own power in the mountains, trying to restore the glory of the previous dynasty.

However, Qilin Mountain is not a place where people can develop their power at all. He could not get out of the deep mountains, so he could only be trapped here. Finally, he huddled in these stone rooms, lingering and ending his life.

It's just said that there were hundreds of people who escorted this man into the mountain. Why only this sarcophagus was left here in the end, but no other bones were seen, is unknown.

Lu Jian stood behind Tang Ying and watched him stare at the tablets for a long time. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything special about these tablets?"

Lu Jian's question pulled Tang Ying out of her thoughts. She looked back and saw Lu Jian's confused look and answered her softly.

"The names of the previous emperors are engraved on these tablets," he said, pointing to the extra tablet: "This should be the owner of this sarcophagus."

Lu Jian nodded. She didn't have much feelings about this matter. Whether it was the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, they were all unfamiliar to her.

She didn't care who these tablets belonged to, nor who was in the sarcophagus. She was more curious about what was in the surrounding boxes.

"These boxes are placed here, so the contents inside should be more valuable, right?"

Tang Ying looked at the neatly arranged boxes around the sarcophagus. He could tell at a glance that the materials used to make these boxes were better than those in the stone chamber. He was also curious in his heart. The jewelry and jades in that stone chamber could already be described as priceless. So what is placed here?

With strong curiosity, the two of them walked towards the nearest box at the same time. Although the lock on the box showed a little rust, it was still very strong, as if telling how strong it once was.

Tang Ying carefully reached out his hand, gently opened the lock, and then opened the box, revealing the contents in front of their eyes.

However, what was unexpected was that the box contained not the rare treasures they thought, but a box full of books.

These books are neatly stacked in boxes. Their covers have faded a little, but you can still see their former beauty, as if they were traces of time.

Facing a whole box of books, the two had completely different reactions.

Lu Jian's indifferent face showed obvious disinterest, as if these books were just a pile of waste paper, but Tang Ying felt like he had found a treasure, and he couldn't help but smile, as if he had found the treasure he had dreamed of.

These books are the only books he has been looking for that were taken away by the descendants of the previous royal family.

Lu Jian glanced at Tang Ying, and was not surprised to see his happy expression. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly with a faint smile. She knew that in this guy's eyes, these books were more valuable than those Jewelry is even more precious.

"If you like it, pick some out and we'll take them away together later."

Lu Jian said as he walked to another box, reached out and opened it, and saw that it was still full of books. It could be said that he was not surprised at all, but he didn't expect that the guy in the sarcophagus was also a nerd who loved books.

It could be said that Lu Jian didn't know the value of these books at all, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. For her, the most important thing is still food, and everything else needs to take a back seat.

While Lu Jian was talking, Tang Ying was already squatting in front of the box, carefully picking up the top book and flipping through it. It was a book about planting, but what people didn't expect was that this book had just been opened. When it was opened, cracks appeared on the pages.

That's because improper storage causes the paper to age and become brittle. If you don't touch it, it will look very good. But as soon as you move it, such cracks will appear. If you read it without repairing it, the cracks will only become more and more, and even the whole book will end up with more cracks. All turned into confetti.

Looking at the cracked book page in his hand, Tang Ying froze. This was something he had not expected. At this time, Lu Jian had already opened the third box, and it turned out to be books.

"Jian, don't, don't open it."

Tang Ying spoke tremblingly. Lu Jian turned around and noticed something was wrong with Tang Ying. She immediately returned to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

While she was speaking, she had already seen the cracked book in Tang Ying's hand that was only open to one page, and she couldn't help but look shocked: "How did this book become like this?"

Tang Ying closed his eyes, then looked at the book in his hand, then put it back with great care, and then stood up to answer Lu Jian's question.

"These books have been left here for too long, and they have already developed cracks. Are they not suitable for reading or touching anymore? Otherwise, they will turn into a pile of paper scraps and become waste products if you are not careful."

"Ah?" Lu Jian didn't understand this. Seeing the sad look on Tang Ying's face, she couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Can't it be repaired?"

Tang Ying looked at Lu Jian, smiled bitterly and said: "Of course it can be done, but I don't know how to repair it, and these books are not suitable for others to know..."

Tang Ying didn't say the next words, but Lu Jian already understood. Again, if these things are known by interested people, they may cause trouble. Neither she nor Tang Ying is willing to provoke those fearless troubles. .

"Then what should I do? Just don't want it anymore?"

Tang Ying did not speak. He was also struggling in his heart. He knew better than anyone how important the things recorded in these ancient books were, but these books could not be easily revealed to others.

Originally, he wanted to read it by himself, find an opportunity to copy or compile it, and then publicize it so that more people could see it. But now these books cannot be taken out at all, and he did not bring paper and pen. How? Can you copy?
