After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

Xiang Ci handed all the spiritual spring water to Cui and hurriedly ran to Xiang Ling: "Xiang Ling, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

"It should be stone." Xiang Ling held the shovel uncertainly and continued to shovel dirt in the direction of the broken shovel.

Mrs. Cui came over and stared in the direction of the broken shovel: "It shouldn't be possible. We dug so much soil and didn't see a single stone. There can't be any stones here, right?"

Mrs. Yan also came over and said, "Sister-in-law is right. After digging for so long, I didn't see a single stone. Xiaoqi can't shovel the big stone with just one shovel."

These words made everyone look at Xiang Ci, who shrank his neck: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Bai Chuntao took the torch next to him and said, "Whether it's a stone or not, you have to look at it."

The torches were originally placed far away, for fear of being burned if they were placed too close. Here, as long as it can illuminate, it will be bright.

Xiang Ci wanted to help dig, but was afraid that it would be a disservice, so he had to stand aside and not block their movements.

The Cui family, the Yan family, and the Xiang Ling family began to dig along the broken shovel. If they moved gently, there would be no dinging sound. If they moved carefully, the shovel would hit the inside and make a dinging sound.

It wasn't a crisp tinkling sound, but a dull sound, like the sound of a shovel hitting the rocks inside.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not.

Dirt was dug up and fell to the ground.

In the past, the soil would have been poured out, but now it is only right to dig it out with the shovel first.

"I saw it."

Xiang Ling used the shovel to cut off another circle of soil around the broken shovel, and saw a dark gray object inside.

She pulled out the broken shovel, and Yan took it and handed it to Erya: "Put it aside so that no one can step on it."

Erya said hello, put the broken shovel where no one would step on it, and then ran back to take a look.

Xiang Ci leaned over and was about to touch the dark gray thing when Xiang Ling grabbed his hand: "Don't move."

She didn't let Xiang Ci move, but she touched it herself. After touching it, she looked at her hand, rubbed her fingers again, and then looked at Xiang Ci after a pause: "You can touch it."

Xiang Ci was so moved that Fifth Sister tested it on her own and made sure it was fine before letting her touch it.

In this case, she didn't want to cause trouble to them: "dig it out first and take a look."

Seeing that she didn't touch it, Xiang Ling handed the torch in his hand to her: "Stand back."

Xiang Ci stepped back with the torch, and Xiang Ling and the others started digging along the dark gray object again.

This dark gray object is quite big. It goes up as I dig, and then turns in again.

Xiang Ling dusted off the dirt outside, touched the object, and frowned: "It's not a stone. What do you think this is?"

Ms. Cui touched it and patted it: "Why does this thing look like iron?"

Xiang Ling shook his head: "It's a bit like iron."

Yan said: "When I heard the sound before, it sounded a bit like iron, but not like iron."

Xiang Ci came over with a torch, touched the object with her hands, and patted it. Combined with what they said, a word suddenly came out of her heart: "Bronze!"

Xiang Ling looked at her in shock: "Bronze, can't it?"

"It's definitely bronze." Xiang Ci said, "Wipe off the soil outside and look inside... No, dig it out first and take a look."

Only by digging it out can we know what it is.

Xiang Ling and others nodded, and the three of them continued digging for the object.

Xiang Ci was very excited. She had only seen bronzes on TV and in museums. This was the first time she had seen them up close like this.

If it were iron, it would have been rusted and corroded a long time ago. It would not feel so thick and still intact.

Only bronze can be so thick and have this color.

It’s unmistakable, it’s bronze clamor.

The three of them dug for another half an hour, and finally dug out the object. It was a big box.

The box slowly slid down. Xiang Ling pressed his back against the box to prevent it from quickly falling to the ground and breaking: "It's very heavy."

Cui's Yan wanted to help, but Xiang Ling stopped her: "No, you guys get out of the way, don't get your feet crushed."

The two of them were not as strong as Xiang Ling, so they couldn't help but stepped forward and stood aside.

Xiang Ci squeezed over and pressed his hands on the box, taking some of the pressure off Xiang Ling.

She had just heard Xiang Ling say that the box was heavy, and thought it was just that, but now that she had used it, she realized that the box was not a little heavy, but quite heavy.

It's as heavy as a box of bronzes inside. If that's the case, that would be great.

Unfortunately, bronze is of little use to them here.

When the box fell to the ground, it made a dull sound, the heavy ground shook three times, and the mud on the wall fell down.

For a moment, there was a lot of mud and debris, and everyone coughed.

Xiang Ci waved the mud away from his eyes, looked at the one-meter-high box on the ground, and couldn't wait to wipe the dirt on it with both hands.

The dark gray soil is wiped away, revealing turquoise.

She smiled excitedly: "It's bronze!"

Xiang Ling read a lot of miscellaneous books, and there were also writings about bronze ware in the book. She looked at the green color and said in surprise: "It's really a bronze ware! How come we have bronze ware here?"

"Never mind it." Xiang Ci carefully and solemnly wiped the box clean, but there was still dirt all over his clothes and hands. "Open it quickly and take a look."

The bronze box was locked, and the lock was also made of bronze. It was still the fish-shaped lock, and it was also made of copper.

Unfortunately there is no key on it.

Xiang Ci looked at the keyhole and then looked at Xiang Ling: "Without a key, you cannot force the lock to be opened, in case there is a dangerous object inside."

"No matter what's there, carry it out first." Xiang Ci grabbed the fish-shaped copper ring next to the box and raised his chin slightly toward Xiang Ci.

Xiang Ling understood, grabbed another fish-shaped copper ring, the two of them took a deep breath, lifted the box, and then dropped it to the ground.

"No, it's too heavy to lift." Xiang Ling shook his head.

Ms. Cui stepped forward and pressed the big box: "Then put it here. After you lift it up and look at it, there is no place to put it, so it has to be put here."

Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, just put it here. It's very heavy, so don't lift it."

Xiang Ci and Xiang Ling looked at each other and nodded.

"What's inside?" Xiang Ci squatted in front of the fish-shaped lock again and observed, "Who in the family knows how to open the lock? Are you having a meeting with Third Brother?"

"They should know how to do it. People who travel around the world always need to learn some skills like this." Ms. Cui was also curious about what was in this big box.

Erya immediately responded: "I'm going to see if Brother San and Brother Kaixin are back?"

She is quite clever. Seeing that everyone needs to find someone, she immediately goes to run errands.

Xiang Ci held the fish-shaped lock and was moved and shocked: "Making a lock in the shape of a fish is like a fish in water, it can prevent fire and eliminate disasters, ward off evil spirits and control the house, it is also a sacred object!"

She really marveled at the ideas of her ancestors and how they could come up with so many good things.

Unfortunately, modern technology has made these things disappear.

Modern children rarely see locks. Most of the locks they see are electronic locks.

If such a good fish-shaped lock was broken by her, she would blame herself for several years, so she didn't want to break it, but had to wait for her third brother and Kaikai to open the lock.
