I am not repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City

Qintang was so weak that he couldn't even stand upright, his body was almost leaning on Tao Xiu's body. Tao Xiu, who was already a little shorter than Qintang, had some difficulty, but he still tried his best to comfort Qintang , Qin Tang kept shaking his head slightly, muttering in his mouth not knowing what he was talking about.

Tao Xiu anxiously called his name in a low voice, but Qin Tang was still shaking his head.

Tao Xiu suddenly felt the weight on his body lighten, he subconsciously turned his head to look, and found that the palms of Qintang's two hands had completely disappeared, and the half of his face that seemed to be more corroded was facing him, He's back to what he was before.

"Qintang? Qintang?" Tao Xiu was worried that Qintang's body would not be able to hold on, so he could only keep calling him in a low voice. It took Qintang a while to react. He noticed the changes in his body, and felt a little helpless Grinning at Tao Xiu, he whispered, "Why bother..."

"Hold on, I've found a way to save you!" Tao Xiu said anxiously, "Why don't you bother, there are so many problems!"

"Okay... I won't ask anymore..." Qintang replied weakly.

Tao Xiu supported Qintang and walked forward in a hurry in the darkness. The exit was getting closer and closer, but Tao Xiu was inexplicably more worried. He whispered: "Qintang, Qintang? What are you talking about?" ah?"

Qin Tang moved his body slightly: "Say, I can't say it..."

Tao Xiu gritted his teeth, and picked up Qintang. Qintang's weight was almost half of what it used to be. Only Tao Xiu could hold it, and then ran towards the exit.

When rushing out, Tao Xiu almost fell down, Xu Congcong who was outside heard the sound and rushed over to help them, Tao Xiu barely stopped.

"You guys are coming out!" Xu Congcong said in surprise.Before he could speak, Qintang turned his head abruptly and vomited blood all over the floor with a wow, Tao Xiu hurriedly put Qintang to rest on the sofa beside him, Xu Congcong followed behind and asked, "What's the matter, are you okay?" Wow, he looks like he's going to die!" Tao Xiu glanced at him with red eyes, Xu Congcong immediately covered his mouth, and started talking: "Where is Dai Chuan, let Dai Chuan save him, Dai Chuan said Can you save him?"

When Tao Xiu heard Dai Chuan's name, he was startled suddenly, and turned his head to look at the unfolded scroll. Xu Congcong also followed his gaze, and then said in horror, "What's going on? Why is that painting disappearing? ?" Tao Xiu looked at the painting that was about to disappear into the air, and could only make a long story short: "Dai Chuan is inside, it seems that something happened..." Xu Congcong was taken aback, then stood up abruptly, exhorting without beginning and end: "Boss Chen and the others are still in the hospital, if something happens, remember to tell my parents..."

Tao Xiu just reacted, and before he could grab him, Xu Congcong rushed towards the painting, and entered the painting at the last second when the painting disappeared out of thin air.

Tao Xiu looked at the empty living room in a daze, Qin Tang was lying unconscious on the sofa, Xu Congcong and Dai Chuan were trapped in the painting, Uncle Chen and Master were still in the hospital, was he the only one?Tao Xiu looked down at Qintang with his eyes closed. Half of his face was so rotten that he couldn't see the outline clearly. As if he had made up his mind, he kissed the rotten face over there, and then kissed Qintang's lips, then picked up Qintang and sent him to the bedroom. After checking the time, he put on a coat and went out.

The renovated Jin family mansion is indeed different from what Tao Xiu saw in Daichuan's paintings. After becoming the cultural relics bureau, it has become more popular. No one can imagine how tragic the past of this land has been.

Tao Xiu suppressed the wave in his heart, raised his legs and walked over. The gatekeeper hadn't seen him for several days. He almost didn't recognize him at first sight, so he stopped Tao Xiu at the door, and Tao Xiu called him , the uncle squinted his eyes and stared at him for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Little Tao! I haven't seen you for a few days! Oh, why are you so thin? I almost didn't recognize it!" Tao Xiu smiled perfunctorily. "Something happened at home." The janitor grabbed his hand and said worriedly: "It's not that I'm over-hearted. If I told you earlier that this place is haunted, don't you believe me? I think you are haunted It's done!" Tao Xiu smiled: "Master, it's all right!" The uncle sighed and had to let go: "That's fine, you do your work first, I still have something to write!"

Tao Xiu was taken aback, then remembered the last time he chatted with the uncle, the uncle said he was writing horror novels, he couldn't help but smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, then you write first, I should be able to come to work in a few days. "

After saying hello to the uncle, he hurried to the house.

Tao Xiu came to see Mr. Shi. According to the previous agreement, Mr. Shi promised to help him make the watch parts by tomorrow. It's not that it's done, he rushed to the porcelain area with ease.

It's already afternoon and it's time to get off work. Many master craftsmen in the Porcelain District have already left. Some of them walked slowly and pushed their bicycles. They met him and said hello to him. Tao Xiu thought that Old Shi would not leave too. Well, I asked a teacher who was walking towards me.

The old master pouted towards Mr. Shi's house: "I haven't left. I don't know what I've been busy with these few days. I work overtime every day. I'm so old!" How about my own parts, I was a little moved for a while, and ran over quickly.

After knocking on the door several times, there was a reply from inside. Tao Xiu pushed the door open and went in, only to see Mr. Shi wearing a pair of reading glasses and concentrating on the material in his hand. Porcelain is not like wood. To start again, Tao Xiu didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to wait on the sidelines. Shi Lao didn't intend to talk to him. After waiting for nearly an hour, Shi Lao heaved a sigh of relief and put the tools on his hands. Stepping aside, he reached out and put the finished little thing in a box, and took off the reading glasses casually.

"Old Shi..." Tao Xiu called out.

Only then did Shi Lao seem to see him, frowned and said, "Why are you still here?"

"..." Tao Xiu didn't dare to speak.

Old Shi was not happy and said, "Are you afraid that I won't make that shit for you?"

"No, no, no..." Tao Xiu hurriedly explained, "I just came to see..."

"What are you looking at!" Old Shi said angrily.

Tao Xiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Old Shi, have you done that yet? I might be in a bit of a hurry here."

"What's the rush!" Shi Lao became even angrier when he heard this, "Human life is at stake!"

Tao Xiu nodded seriously: "Human life is at stake."

Old Shi was taken aback when he heard the words, took a deep look at him, then coughed, took the box in his hand, walked over and said, "Come with me."

"Where are you going?" Tao Xiu asked.

Old Shi pushed open the door: "It's still close to the last, since you're in a hurry, I'll get it out for you tonight."

Tao Xiu saw that the sky outside had already turned dark, and he couldn't bear it: "It's not as bright..."

"So much nonsense! Follow up!" Shi Lao scolded.

Tao Xiu had no choice but to trot and follow.

Behind the porcelain group is a small porcelain kiln, which is high-tech firing porcelain. The original purpose of this is to do some heat research and fire some fragmentary porcelain, which is also much more time-saving than traditional porcelain kilns.

Shi Lao skillfully opened the machine, carefully opened the box, and then took out the contents one by one, and put them on the compartment of the porcelain firing machine. Familiar watch accessories, watching Shi Lao operate the machine and start firing, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"How is he?" Elder Shi asked suddenly.

Tao Xiu kept staring at the machine, but he didn't realize it for a while, but after reacting, he subconsciously thought he was talking about Qintang, but how could Elder Shi know about Qintang?

He looked at Elder Shi with some doubts.

Shi Lao stood in front of the machine, staring at the flame inside, his eyes glowed a little from the fire, Shi Lao didn't look at Tao Xiu, and asked after a while: "How is he?"

"Who?" Tao Xiu heard clearly this time, and asked vigilantly.

Old Shi sighed: "The person in the watch."

Now Tao Xiu was really frightened, he took a step back: "How do you know?"

Only then did Mr. Shi turn his head to look at him, with complicated eyes: "My ancestor's surname is Jin."

"What?" Tao Xiu suddenly remembered that Xu Congcong said that this house was donated by Mr. Shi...

Old Shi sighed again, and turned his head to look at the flames in the stove: "A long time ago, my ancestors changed their surname to Shi. According to our family's family letter, it was because of 'a great shame, a great shame, ashamed of the ancestors. '." Shi Lao said lightly, "It is also recorded in the family book that because our Jin family once had a villain, he studied sorcery and killed countless people. In the end, karma caused the family to be wiped out in a fire. The entire Jin family only has my ancestors. I survived by luck, and changed my surname to Shi from now on, I would rather be a rock than gold."

"Master of the Jin family..." Tao Xiu murmured.

"You really know..." Shi Lao said lightly, "I was a little unsure at first, but I was not sure until you asked me to make these parts. You may know what happened back then. My ancestor, who used people to refine It is recorded in my family book that he made a kind of 'clock', which can trap a person's body and soul, and can be used by him. The Jin family has a white porcelain kiln, and the parts are naturally made of white porcelain... Such an association, originally I have to believe what I don’t believe.”

Tao Xiu opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Mr. Shi said with some regret: "He made clocks and watches, which are hundreds of years ahead of foreign countries, but it was only for the study of magic... It is really a shame to the Jin family..."

Old Shi said seriously: "So I ask you, is he okay?"

Tao Xiu didn't know what to say, he didn't expect that Elder Shi had a connection with the Jin family, he didn't feel any absurdity in his heart, he just felt lucky that there was such a person, he knew the origin of Qintang, he could save Qintang.

"He's not good." Tao Xiu said seriously, "He's rotten all over now. If he didn't have these parts, he might be wiped out the day after tomorrow, or tomorrow." Tao Xiu sniffed. He wasn't particularly sad at first, but this time He said a few words, but it seemed to consume all his strength, "He has been trapped in that pocket watch for a thousand years, and suffered for a thousand years, how is he doing well?"

Old Shi was silent and didn't say a word.

When the porcelain was finished firing and handed over to Tao Xiu, Elder Shi suddenly bent down solemnly and said seriously, "I'm sorry."

Tao Xiu took the things and staggered away. He just said thank you and left without even looking back.

He is not qualified to replace Qintang to forgive anyone in the Jin family.
