Chapter 3 3. Black Jade Pillow

In the basement of the closed old community, Zheng Yun looked around and couldn't hide his shock. These objects were real at first glance, but his adoptive father never mentioned them.

Maybe these things are stored here by friends, or maybe there is something wrong with their origin, or maybe they are family heirlooms handed down from Lao Jiang's family.

In the past, my adoptive father used to tell stories about his ancestors, and it can be summed up in one sentence: the more precious a treasure, the more blood it will have. If it is not stained with blood, it is definitely not a valuable item.

So are these things.

The picture of Changsheng Immortal Mansion, just looking at the name, has the taste of death without a whole body. In ancient times, there were 8000 immortals, and they would be sorry for the word Changsheng.

The same is true for Daming Haiwei, which is the same as the Jinyiwei East and West Factory. Of the 8000 people who died because of the longevity map, at least half were done by them.

"It's really well hidden."

"This is the veteran of Lao Jiang's family."

Zheng Yun sighed a little. He listened to his adoptive father telling stories since he was a child, but he really didn't take it seriously.

Objects of this grade may be involved behind the scenes, and if they are not handled properly, they will easily cause trouble.

In short, this matter is extraordinary, and you have to discuss it with your family first to see how to deal with it.

Zheng Yun took out his mobile phone and called his adoptive mother. The call was answered in seconds, but the voice was Jiang Meng's, with a soft tone: "Brother, have you gone back? Have you had lunch?"

"No, what did you eat?"

Zheng Yun's heart was slightly sour, Jiang Meng was in a good mood, but his voice was still very weak.

"I ate two eggs and drank a bowl of porridge. One meal of yours is enough for me to eat for a day, giggling."

"Why are you smiling like a goose? Did you get an injection today? Did it hurt? Did you shed tears secretly?"

"How is it possible! Brother, let me tell you, that Dr. Zhang is actually an alumnus of my university in 03, but I only attended university for one year, so I haven't heard of her."

Even if we meet every day, Jiang Meng is still willing to talk to her brother, but she stays in the hospital every day, and what she can say is limited to the small ward.

Think about it.

Zheng Yun's heart was more pantothenic and anxious, and he wished to go to sea immediately and get back with a million and 80.

"Brother, where are you, the signal is not good."

"I'm still in the basement, Jiang Meng, ask Mom to answer the phone. I found some weird things in the basement. Ask Mom what to do."

"Brother, wait a minute. I'll turn off the hands-free first. Okay, what is it? I haven't been to the basement. Brother, take a picture for me."

"A chart and badge."

Zheng Yun took a photo and sent it.

"No, Mom, Mom! Have you ever seen these things? My brother found them in the basement."

"Whoever goes to your dad's basement, Zheng Yun, you don't touch those things too much. Don't be like your dad. Get into this business and never get out for the rest of your life."

The adoptive mother's voice came from far to near, with a slightly distasteful tone. She glanced at the photo and continued: "You can deal with these things, Mom doesn't understand."

"Mom, you really don't know?"

Zheng Yun asked again.

"Mom advises you not to study it. It's not a good thing. We behave according to our duties. Safety is better than anything else. Let Jiang Meng tell you. Mom has gone to wash the lunch box."

The adoptive mother returned the phone to Jiang Meng.

"Brother, Mom is really gone. Is what you told me the day before yesterday true? Do you really want to go to sea? Have you decided?" Jiang Meng asked in a low voice.

"The work in the university, the type of scientific research, is not dangerous, don't you know it all, don't think too much about it." Zheng Yun smiled and said relaxedly.

"Then you take the thing that dad left you, it may be used in danger." Jiang Meng reminded carefully.

What she was talking about was a piece of black jade pillow, about the length of an arm, very inconspicuous to look at, with some winding talismans carved on the surface, which looked like ghostly drawings.

The adoptive father said that it was a talisman, the only treasure in the family, and if something happened in the future, he would soak it in the water to keep the family safe.

Zheng Yun never believed in that.

After all, he is a college student, now is the age of technology, it is better to stay away from those gods and monsters.

But now it seems that the black jade pillow thrown under the bed in his bedroom should be the same as those in the basement, and they are all objects of some origin.

But it's really hard to say.

The black jade pillow can't survive soaking in water, and with such a good thing, how can the ancestors not make up the whole body?Qingming paper money has to float back from outer space?
"The signal in the basement is not very good, let's talk about it when we go back." Zheng Yun looked around, he still had a lot of boxes to move, and it might not be too early to finish packing.

"Well, brother, remember to have lunch." Jiang Meng reminded again before hanging up the phone.

Zheng Yun studied for a while and took a detailed picture of the sea chart with his mobile phone. The other things didn't move at all, and he didn't want to sell these things to Jiang Meng for medical treatment.

The adoptive father hid them in the basement and didn't reveal a word until his death. There must be some reason. It is definitely not a good thing to let things that cannot see the light.

Now their family has not been forced to do so. The pawn shop just sold it for more than 60 yuan. Jiang Meng has not been short of medical expenses in the past few months.

Instead of spending time thinking about how to resell these objects, it is better to use it as a reference when going to sea, and talk about other things after a few months.

Zheng Yun is not superstitious.

He believes in modern technology.

But there are really good things in the heritage of the ancients. Gunpowder was originally made by refining elixir.

If it weren't for those ancient people who talked about fairies and ghosts, and at the same time loved to toss themselves desperately, modern technology would not be able to develop today.

This kind of sea chart left by the ancients is definitely not a random place name, but wherever there is a name, there are more or less treasures to be found.

Tiancaidibao is not nonsense.

Although the ancients lacked scientific knowledge, they were definitely not fools. Natural materials and earthly treasures must be extremely rare things, and they are just as valuable now.

"Let's pile it up here."

"I'll move out later if I have something to do."

Zheng Yun put away his mobile phone, swept the floor, tidied up his things briefly, and then went upstairs to move things, filling the basement with boxes of all sizes.

After half an hour.

The display cabinets and nautical charts were buried by boxes and hidden deep in the basement, and they could not be seen even when the lights were turned on. No one would turn them on again in a short time.

……

It's past two o'clock when I got home.

Zheng Yun took off his dirty clothes and walked into the bathroom, turned on the natural gas water heater, and quietly watched the light blue flames heat the water through a small transparent window.

After the water was hot, Zheng Yun took off his sweater and shorts, and turned on the shower to wash his body.

Looking sideways at the mirror, he is already 25 years old. If there is nothing to do at home, he should talk about a girlfriend, get married and start a family.

But no if.

With a calm expression, Zheng Yun dried his body, changed his clothes, and began to count his things and prepare to go to sea. He bought a boat ticket for [-]:[-] p.m., and time was tight.

Before leaving, Zheng Yun called Jiang Meng. He had to talk about this matter anyway, but he could only talk to Jiang Meng, not his adoptive mother.

His adoptive mother definitely disagreed with him going.

So Zheng Yun asked Jiang Meng to lie for him, saying that he and his friends went out to do some business and would come back in a few months, so that the adoptive mother didn't have to worry about it.

Unexpectedly.

When Jiang Meng heard that he was going, she burst into tears in the bed. She couldn't hide it, so she could only explain to her adoptive mother that she cried while watching a TV series.

She knew that Zheng Yun went to sea to treat her illness, and she grew up with Zheng Yun, and was Zheng Yun's little follower every day, how could she not know.

At Jiang Meng's strong request, Zheng Yun turned on the video to clean up. She hid in the bed and typed instructions, sobbing and forcing Zheng Yun to stuff the black jade pillow into the bag.

She is not superstitious.

Because she couldn't help her brother, she could only use this method to try her best to make Zheng Yun safer.

After leaving the sea, there was no way to communicate.

The misty sea can't transmit the signal, and the distance is too far, and the satellites don't work. A text message costs dozens of yuan, and a signal ship has to be used to transfer it.

So Zheng Yun took his mobile phone all the way, chatting with Jiang Meng and his adoptive mother, and didn't hang up until he got in the car.
