After the locust disaster, my fairy reincarnation identity was exposed

No words can make me happier than hearing Xiao Qi say waiting for me.

Ye Kai's eyebrows were full of smiles, and his tone was even gentler: "Jiang Hongli is dead."

Xiang Ci was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Really? Did you kill him?"

She originally wanted to tell Ye Kai and ask him to unlock the copper box for her, but unexpectedly Ye Kai thought she was going to ask him about it.

The smile on Ye Kai's face grew stronger: "Yes."

Xiang Ci smiled happily and gave Ye Kai two thumbs up: "I knew you were the best, how did you kill him?"

After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment.

She now speaks the word "killing" very easily, without feeling any guilt or blame at all.

This is not good and needs to be changed.

Looking at Xiang Ci whose eyes were full of admiration for him, Ye Kai was in a beautiful mood like a sunny day: "He threatened us with Xie's family to let Cheng go. Xiaoliu took Cheng over and hung him on the big tree at the entrance of the village."

"It was hanging by Cheng's neck. Xiaobai and I besieged him one by one. He was in a hurry to save Cheng, but I stabbed him in the heart."

Although the method was immoral, Jiang Hongli had no morals at all and threatened them with the entire Xiejia Village.

Xiang Ci lamented: "Although Jiang Hongli is a bad person, he is really good to the Cheng family."

Ye Kai has quietly approached Xiang Ci: "I envy them what they do, I will treat you better in the future."

This sudden confession made Xiang Ci startled for a moment, then she smiled happily: "Okay, I'll remember it."

The smile on Ye Kai's face could not be hidden no matter what, Mingyue Qingfeng was talking about him.

"Oh, by the way, I have something urgent to do with you. Come on, come with me."

Xiang Ci greeted Ye Kai and ran towards the tunnel. Hearing the shouts of the third brother behind him, he had to respond: "Third brother, come and take a look too."

Ye Feng looked at Xiang Ci who was running quickly, and also quickened his pace to follow Xiang Ci.

Xiang Xinbai muttered as he ran: "You didn't even see me where I was standing just now, but you only saw me when I called you. Run slower, be careful not to fall."

Xiang Ci didn't fall and ran safely into the tunnel. He didn't forget to wave to the people behind him: "Come on, come on, here, come and see, dang dang, a big copper box."

Ye Kai looked at the big box in front of Xiang Ci and was extremely surprised: "Where did it come from? Did you dig it?"

Xiang Ci proudly raised his head: "Yes, it was dug out from here. I inserted a shovel into it and found this big box..."

Xiang Ling patted the dirt on his hands and walked towards here. Xiang Ci quickly changed his words: "It was the shovel that broke. In the end, it was the fifth sister, my mother, the second aunt and the third aunt who dug it out."

Xiang Ci sighed inwardly, she just wanted to create a suspense, but looking at Xiang Ling's behavior, she must not like the way she spoke, so forget it.

Ye Kai walked up to the big box and patted it: "Listen to this sound, it's not made of iron, it's made of copper."

Xiang Xinbai, who was a step slower, also patted the box: "It's copper. It's locked! Do you want us to unlock it?"

Xiang Ci smiled and said, "Isn't that what it is? I'm afraid that there are dangerous goods inside, and I'm afraid that the lock will be damaged, so I'm just waiting for you two to open it. Will you and Kai Kai meet to open the lock?"

"Yes." Xiang Xinbai held the fish-shaped lock, looked left and right, then stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll get a tool."

Ye Kai held the fish-shaped lock and inspected it before nodding slightly: "This lock is a bit difficult. It is not an ordinary lock. It looks like a fish-shaped lock used by the nobles of the royal palace."

Curious, Xiang Ci squatted next to Ye Kai and looked at the lock with him: "How did you tell that it was not an ordinary lock?"

"Here." Ye Kai handed the fish-shaped lock to Xiang Ci, "The ordinary fish-shaped lock here is just a horizontal insertion, but this one is different."

"This fish-shaped lock is not only thick, but the patterns on it are also realistic and complicated. They were all carefully carved by craftsmen in the homes of powerful royal nobles."

"Ordinary fish-shaped locks only have one lock, which opens when you twist it, but this lock has three locks inside."

"Opening three locks at the same time is the real unlocking."

Xiang Ci suddenly understood and touched the heavy copper lock: "Can I break this open?"

"Ordinary ones are fine." Ye Kai touched the lock ring and said solemnly, "If this lock is a complete set with this box, then this one cannot be broken open by force."

Xiang Ci was horrified: "It's just a lock, why is it so complicated?"

Ye Kai chuckled and answered her patiently: "The purpose of locking is to prevent others from stealing. If others steal it, it can be opened without a key, so why should it be locked?"

Xiang Ci thought it made sense, and couldn't help but think of modern safes, which were really heavy and heavy.

But each mountain is higher than the other. You designed this safe that is difficult to open, and someone figured out how to open it, switching back and forth with various high technologies.

Seeing Xiang Ci's frown and curious expression, Ye Kai explained to her: "If it is a complete set of locks and boxes, it is also called a Luban box."

Xiang Ci frowned, his eyebrows suddenly brightened, and his mouth opened slightly.

I’ve heard of Luban locks, but I didn’t expect there to be Luban boxes.

The cute Xiang Ci made Ye Kai smile even more: "This box is made of copper, and it must have a fireproof layer inside, just like our fire kang."

"There is an outer layer, and there is an empty layer in the middle. These empty areas are matched with these locks."

"The real compartment is inside, where important things are placed."

"If the lock is damaged by force, the inner and outer layers of the lock core will be inlaid, and the gaps and creases you see will be so tight that no gaps will be visible."

"How can you open it if you can't find the gap?"

"Have you ever heard of a copper wall and an iron wall? This big box is a copper wall. It can't be cut with a knife or burned, so it's completely useless."

Xiang Ci clicked his tongue when he heard this: "I see, then we can only wait for the third brother to bring the tools to open the lock. Hey, I just want to ask, why did you want to learn to open the lock and steal things in the first place?"

Ye Kai was not angry because of these words, but said softly: "Dart escorts will encounter various unexpected accidents, although most of them are caused by the employer who has lost the key and needs our help."

"But it's more of the rules of the escort agency. You can't do nothing when your employer asks you to help."

Speaking of this, Ye Kai lowered his voice: "Actually, many of the things the escort agency sometimes deposits are dirty, and those boxes cannot be opened by force."

"Then the employer will say they lost the key and ask us to unlock it."

Xiang Ci was stunned: "Didn't that ruin your reputation?"

"The reputation of the bodyguard is to protect the reputation of the employer, regardless of the origin of the employer's objects." Ye Kai explained, "After the protection period of our bodyguard, we don't have to care about their life or death."

"But within the protection period of our escort agency, even if we know it is dirty, we will protect it."

"In the end, it's just their job and our job."

Xiang Ci nodded and understood: "It's all for those few taels of silver."

Ye Kai's eyes were like stars: "Yes, that's the truth."

It's all for those few taels of silver. If the bodyguard they protect is valuable, then it's not just a few taels of silver, but tens or hundreds of taels.
