My husband is a sick cat

Looking at these lush plants, Lu Jian hesitated. Such a place is the easiest place for snakes to hide. She couldn't help but turn back to Tang Ying and said, "Why don't you just wait for me here?"

Tang Ying naturally knew Lu Jian's concerns, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you over there."

Tang Ying was talking about the other side of the entrance. It was very empty there. If something appeared, you could see it at a glance. He still had the Night Pearl in his hand, so he didn't worry about not seeing it.

"it is good."

After Lu Jian agreed, she turned around and walked into the grass. As she walked, she deliberately kicked the surrounding weeds in order to scare away the snakes hiding inside.

Fortunately, she didn't put much effort this time. After walking no more than ten meters, she saw an area cleared of weeds. In the middle of that area were two ginseng plants growing together. The small red fruits on them were taller than hers. The ginseng I dug earlier was much redder.

The two ginseng plants are like two intimate partners, nestling tightly together, and like two dancers, dancing gracefully in the breeze.

The leaves of ginseng are dark green, like emerald, and the veins on them are clearly visible, as if they were a beautiful picture drawn by nature's skillful hands.

Seeing this, Lu Jian knew that the weeds around here must have been cleaned up by the White Wolf clan. Maybe they would come down often to check, otherwise it would not be so clean.

But this also made it convenient for her. At least when digging ginseng, she didn't have to worry about not being able to detect something in time when something appeared around her.

She walked quickly to the ginseng, observed it, then took out the short knife and started digging. It was still the same as last time, and she dug out the soil in one piece. However, the soil here did not see sunlight all year round, and was infiltrated by streams from time to time, so it was extremely loose. No need to add more water and loosen the soil.

Without much effort, Lu Jian dug up two ginseng sticks that were not much thicker than arms but almost human-like in length, shook off the excess soil, and left with them.

This ginseng is just a little thicker than the one she dug up last time that was more than two hundred years old. It's not that big. But the moment it was unearthed, the unique fragrance of ginseng came out. This is the two-year-old ginseng. There's nothing like ginseng that's been around for a hundred years.

When Lu Jian returned to the entrance, Tang Ying also came over. Seeing Lu Jian washing two ginseng roots in the stream water, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The biggest difference between these two ginseng roots and the previous ginseng is that they already look like humans.

Their "bodies" already have human outlines, their "limbs" are like human arms and legs, and they even have "fingers" and "toes".

The "skin" of ginseng looks smooth and delicate, just like a baby's skin, making people want to touch it.

Their "hair" is like thin silk threads, extending from the "head" to the "body", giving people an elegant feeling.

Although the "features" of these two ginseng are not yet obvious, some outlines can already be seen, like two children who have just woken up, rubbing their eyes and looking at the world curiously.

Tang Ying was also surprised by the peculiarity of these two ginseng. Just like this, no one would doubt that they were two thousand years old. However, what Tang Ying saw in medical books was that the oldest ginseng was just that. Eight hundred years.

The eight-hundred-year-old ginseng was just beginning to take on a human form, but it was not as strange as the two ginseng in Lu Jian's hand. However, after washing it, the smell of the ginseng became more obvious, which made him frown slightly.

Generally speaking, ginseng will not have any smell before it is cut. This is also a way for them to hide. At the same time, after being dug, it is not easy to be discovered as long as you pay attention to hiding it.

However, these two ginseng sticks do not have any "wounds", but they can emit such a strong fragrance. It may not be easy for them to take them out safely. After all, the white wolf can know the existence of these ginseng and can judge the year. It means that other animals may also notice this, which is not a good thing.

Lu Jian also thought of this and couldn't help frowning: "The smell is too strong. How about I cover it with mud?"

Tang Ying thought for a while and could only nod: "Go ahead, otherwise we won't be able to take him out."

Seeing that Tang Ying agreed, Lu Jian immediately took action and dug several pieces of mud nearby, completely wrapping the ginseng. The smell was indeed covered up, and finally Lu Jian got a relatively complete piece. The whole ginseng paste dumpling is wrapped in moss, making it easier for them to handle.

After finishing it, Lu Jian took out a piece of rag that had been prepared earlier from the package and wrapped it up. Then he put it in the bag and carried it on his back, along with two luminous pearls.

After cleaning up, he untied the stones from the rope, then put his arms around Tang Ying's waist, climbed directly up with the help of the rope and the stone wall, and instantly appeared at the entrance, scaring the wolf queen waiting outside. A jump.

[Are you out? 】

After the Wolf Queen was surprised, she looked at the two of them. She could see that there was something in the baggage behind Lu Jian, but it was not very big, and she suddenly felt a little confused.

[You didn’t open the secret room? 】

"It's opened, but there's nothing inside. Are you lying to me? That secret room has been emptied out long ago."

Lu Jian looked at the Wolf Queen with a dissatisfied look, but Tang Ying had no expression on his face, but he was surprised at Lu Jian's answer. He actually didn't expect Lu Jian to say that, but this answer was the best.

These white wolves were able to bring Lu Jian here this time. There was no guarantee that they would not bring others here in the future. It would be fine if there were only some jewelry and the like in the secret room, but he didn't want those books to be discovered and damaged.

When the Wolf Queen heard what Lu Jian said, her eyes widened and she was also very surprised.

【Nothing at all? 】

"That's right," Lu Jian knelt down and looked directly into the Wolf Queen's eyes, with an inquiring expression on his face: "Don't you know? There are a lot of fragments in the secret room, but there is nothing valuable. It has obviously been stolen. They've been moved away. Didn't you notice it if you stayed here?"

The Wolf Queen was slightly startled. This was actually something she had not expected. After thinking for a while, she shook her head slightly.

[I don’t know, since we, the White Wolf clan, have lived here, we have never seen humans come here, unless they entered from another entrance. 】

Lu Jian stared at the wolf queen for a while, as if to confirm whether she was lying. She stared at the wolf queen until she became a little hairy, and then sighed helplessly.

"Okay, I believe you, now take me to see your box."

The Wolf Queen nodded. Originally, she wanted to ask about the ginseng, but now she no longer wanted to ask.

Since the secret room was empty, but there was something in Lu Jian's backpack, the answer was obvious: the ginseng must have been poached.

After all, the ginseng was so conspicuous that they couldn't have missed it.

Under the leadership of the Wolf Queen, Lu Jian and Tang Ying had an unimpeded journey and arrived at the cave where the Wolf King was.

However, the wolf queen did not lead the two of them in, but walked into the cave alone. After a while, she slowly walked out with a box in her mouth.

This box is only one foot long, half a foot wide, and palm-high. It is an ancient dark brown color. Its appearance is smooth and delicate, without any flaws, with exquisite patterns, like a perfect piece of art.

However, the strange thing is that there is no opening at all on the box. It looks like it is a whole piece of wood.

If Lu Jian hadn't taken it and shook it gently, feeling that there was indeed something inside, she would have thought that the Wolf Queen was lying to her.

"How do you open this box?"

The Wolf Queen shook her head and answered simply: "I don't know."

Lu Jian was still going to ask, but Tang Ying had already reached out to take the box. He held the box in his hands as if he was looking at a unique work of art, carefully observing every detail of the box.

After looking at it, Tang Ying said to Lu Jian: "In my opinion, this should be a trap box. They must not know how to open it."

"Mechanism box?" This was the first time Lu Jian heard this word, and her eyes widened with curiosity. Seeing that she was so interested in this box, Tang Ying patiently explained it to her.

"The appearance of this box is extremely exquisite, with exquisite patterns and patterns carved on it. These patterns and patterns are not only for decoration, but also to hide the mechanism of the box.

The lid of this box will pop open only if you find the correct opening method. However, if you don't know the location and opening method of this mechanism, you will not be able to open this box even if you try your best. "

Lu Jian was amazed. She had never thought that such a delicate mechanism could be hidden in a small box.

Tang Ying continued: "The interior of such a box is usually very cleverly designed. There are many compartments and hidden compartments inside, which can be used to store various precious items. Moreover, the location and opening of these compartments and hidden compartments The methods are also carefully designed so that if you don’t know the correct method, you won’t be able to open them.”

Lu Jian was fascinated by what she heard. She seemed to have seen a new world full of wisdom and mystery. Could it be that this is the wisdom of people in this world?

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between this world and hers. In her world, although there will be intrigues and intrigues, the most important thing is not wisdom, but strength. As long as there is enough strength, any conspiracy will be eliminated. It's just a paper tiger.

After all, the order of that world had collapsed so drastically that almost everyone was struggling to survive without much thought to think about anything else.

But this world is rich in materials. As long as you have some ability, you can live well. There are also various orders and laws maintained. In this world, strength is not the only thing. As long as you have a brain, you can live a better life, and even have wisdom. Having strength is more important.

"Then can you open this box?"

Even though there were countless thoughts in her mind, for Lu Jian, it was more important to open the box. Something that could be packed in a machine box was certainly not simple, and she had already begun to look forward to it.

Tang Ying looked at the box in his hand for a while and said, "I'm not sure. I need to go back and study it before I know."

Lu Jian nodded. In her opinion, this box was definitely not easy to open. It was normal for Tang Ying to be unable to open it now, but she believed that with Tang Ying's mind, it would only be a matter of time before the box was opened.

After confirming this, she stuffed the box into the bag, and then said to the Wolf Queen: "Okay, the grudge between you and me has been wiped out. Now you send a wolf to send us out."

The Wolf Queen was very dissatisfied with Lu Jian's somewhat natural tone, but she was still very willing to send Lu Jian away and never meet again. She turned around and barked at the white wolf that had brought Lu Jian and the others here. Come out and let it send them away.

The white wolf didn't say much, and stood beside Lu Jian. After Lu Jian made the rope into a noose, it meekly let Lu Jian put the noose in place, and then simply lay down on the ground so that Tang Ying could ride on it. on its body.

He had already ridden the white wolf once. When he rode up this time, Tang Ying's movements were much more skillful. Lu Jian saw that Tang Ying was already seated and ready, so he let the white wolf start running, and she still followed closely. Bai Lang's side, so that if anything happens to Tang Ying, she can take care of him in time.

On this return trip, Bai Lang was even faster than when he came here. Tang Ying sat firmly on Bai Lang, occasionally adjusting his posture so that he could sit more stable, so as not to cause any trouble to Lu Jian.

The two of them entered Qilin Mountain in the morning. By the time they arrived at the outskirts of Qilin Mountain, it was already past midnight (four o'clock in the afternoon).

With the help of Lu Jian, Tang Ying was still a little uncomfortable when he got off the white wolf. He stood for a while before he got used to it. At this time, Lu Jian had already taken back all the nooses on the white wolf. The wolf turned around and ran away.

Originally, Bai Lang just wanted to send them to the place where they would meet in the morning, but Lu Jian refused and forced Bai Lang to send them to the outskirts of Qilin Mountain. Fortunately, no one discovered them.

After watching Bai Lang leave, Lu Jian looked at Tang Ying: "Shall we go back directly now?"

Tang Ying thought for a while, nodded and said: "Go back directly. If you go to town now, you probably won't be able to buy anything. Just follow me to the bookstore when you get back. I'll just forget about the time to pick out the books."

Lu Jian naturally nodded and understood the meaning of Tang Ying's words. After all, the two of them were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs. She must eat first when she went back.

They left in the morning with the excuse of going to town. There was no way there was no food in the town. If they didn't find an excuse, it would be hard to say that she was so hungry. However, Tang Ying would probably get scolded, but it was better than telling the truth. Be good.

After the two returned to the Lu family, Lu Jian immediately put the baggage back into the house, while Tang Ying explained the situation to Sun Xiaohua and Zhou and asked them to help make food.

Sun Xiaohua was a little unhappy when she heard that Lu Jian was starving with her because Tang Ying was obsessed with reading and forgot the time to eat. But before she could say anything, Zhou said something to Tang Ying, Tang Yingchen After a sincere apology, Sun Xiaohua couldn't say anything.
