Chapter 165 The Key

When the eyes completely appeared on the face of the paper figurine, Hu Zilin stretched out her hands and tightly covered her mouth, because she recognized that those eyes belonged to You Hemin. Having been together for many years, You Hemin always looked at themselves and their children tenderly with those eyes. But she couldn't shout, she remembered Feng Nian's exhortation.

"You Hemin, are you home?" Feng Nian asked, she wanted to make sure first.

The paper figurine wanted to nod, but its neck was very stiff, so it could only roll its eyes and answer "yes" in a gloomy manner.

Feng Nian continued to ask, "Who harmed you? Are they looking for something?"

As soon as her words fell, You Hemin seemed to have thought of something terrible, the whole paper figurine kept shaking, and only uttered the word "key". Then, it disappeared. The eyes of the paper man gradually became dizzy, and soon, his face became blank.

When Feng Nian called You Hemin back, Lao Ma had been watching from the sidelines. He noticed that there was nothing abnormal around him, which meant one thing, You Hemin's soul was already very weak. He was even more frightened and left directly.

Feng Nian knew clearly that he could only recruit You and Min once, and there was no way to continue, so they could only check by themselves.

Hu Zilin was supported by Yan Sheng to sit down, she had already burst into tears, it was clear that You Hemin had returned just now.

After Yan Sheng comforted Hu Zilin for a while, Hu Zilin gradually calmed down and was able to answer some of Feng Nian's questions.

Hu Zilin told Feng Nian and the others that she didn't know what the "key" You Hemin was talking about, but her father had left her a shop selling antiques. Handed over to You Hemin. You Hemin usually takes care of everything in the store.

Because You Hemin passed away yesterday, she just went back to the antique shop and wanted to see the situation of the antique shop. Luo Da in the antique shop told her that You Hemin once took away a box from the antique shop, but he never brought it back. Moreover, after he took the box, he went to Waisha Town.

It was also during the time when You Hemin went to Waisha Town that the real estate agency he ran had financial problems. After he came back, he went around to raise funds, trying to revitalize the real estate agency. It's just that he didn't expect that You Hemin jumped off the building strangely after the funds had been prepared.

"Then I'm going to trouble you, take us to an antique shop." Feng Nian said to Hu Zilin, as if everything had fallen into a fog.

——

The next morning, Hu Zilin took Feng Nian, Yan Sheng and Lao Ma to the antique shop.

It was an antique shop in a small alley. The decoration inside the store is very simple, and there is a signboard of "Antique Store" hanging at the door. It seems that this store is really not managed very hard, and I don't even bother to pick up a store name.

When I opened the door, I saw wooden shelves on both sides of the store, separated by wooden grids, inside which were various antiques, including porcelain, white jade, agate and so on.

"Welcome, take a look around," said a man in his fifties named Luo Da who looked at the store. Hu Zilin said that Luo Da had stayed in the antique store to help as a clerk when her father was alive, so You Hemin kept him after he took over the store. Just looking at Luo Da's appearance, it seems that he doesn't seem to want to greet customers warmly.

"Luo Da, I'll take my friend to take a look." Hu Zilin's face is still very ugly today. Although You Hemin came back last night, he didn't say how he passed away. This matter has always been a thread in her heart. prick.

Luo Dayi, who had been taking a nap on the recliner, immediately got up from the recliner when he heard Hu Zilin's voice, and said with a smile, "Miss, you are here, why didn't you say hello in advance? I will bring your friend Take a stroll."

Hu Zilin motioned Luo Da to sit down, because she knew that Feng Nian wanted to ask him something.

Seeing this, Luo Da had no choice but to make a pot of tea for everyone, and then sat down in front of them.

"You said, You Hemin took a box away? Do you know what's in the box?" Feng Nian asked directly, she was too lazy to turn the corner and ask.

"The box is a wooden box, about the size of two palms. I don't know what's in it. My uncle should have taken that box out of the safe." Luo Da replied after thinking about it. Because the wooden box was not placed in the store, and You Hemin didn't open it in front of him when he took it away, so he didn't know what was inside.

But when Hu Zilin on the side heard that the wooden box was taken out of the safe left by her father, her pale face changed, as if she remembered something, she asked again, "Is it an agarwood box?" , engraved with elegant patterns?"

Luo Da nodded, and quickly responded, "Yes, Missy has a better memory."

Looking at Hu Zilin's appearance, Feng Nian seemed to already know what was inside the wooden box.

She called Yan Sheng, Yan Sheng understood immediately, and dismissed Luo Da on the pretext of looking at the antiques in the store.

Hu Zilin took Feng Nian to a small room in the antique shop, and now only she has the key to this room. The original key was placed with You Hemin.

Turn on the light in the room, it is a cold-colored light, and the room is much brighter.

Although this room is not as large as the shop outside, there is also a wooden shelf on one side of the room. The antiques on the shelf are much more valuable than those displayed outside.

Hu Zilin quickly opened the safe, and saw that the wooden box that was originally stored in the safe was gone. She sat directly on the cold concrete floor and murmured, "Hemin really took the box away, obviously my father told me , that box must not be touched, why, why doesn't he listen?"

Feng Nian saw that Hu Zilin's emotions had gotten a little out of control~www.wuxiax.com~ hurriedly helped her up from the ground, sat on the chair, and poured her a cup of hot tea.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Hu Zilin's face softened a lot, and she sighed, she knew that there was no need to hide it now. "The wooden box is something my father left behind during his lifetime. He once said that the thing inside is the key to an ancient tomb."

In this way, it is very likely that You Hemin was targeted because of the key to this ancient tomb.

Hu Zilin's father runs this antique shop. Although the business is mediocre, it is enough for him to support his family. Until one day, his father brought back a wooden box with quaint patterns engraved on it. Out of curiosity, Hu Zilin opened it and found that it was a piece of white crystal with elegant patterns engraved on the top of the crystal.

She didn't expect that this move made her father furious and locked the wooden box in the safe. She never saw the wooden box again.

It was not until his father was dying that he told Hu Zilin that the wooden box had been locked in the safe by him. It was the key of an ancient tomb, and told her that the key must not fall into the hands of others.
