Portable space in the 60s

Chapter 162
Tang Bao, a frightened 'weak woman', was sent to live in a guest house by that big girl.

It may be that she thinks Tang Bao is really a bit stupid, no, it should be said that she is a bit innocent, she also specially told Tang Bao to pay attention to things outside, and told the eldest sister of the guest house to arrange a warmer room for her, which really made Tang Bao feel better. Bao feels that there are still more enthusiastic people in this era.

Tang Bao closed the door and window, then slipped into the space, saw Eggy occupying a small wooden box, seemed to be hesitating what to say.

Looking at the ordinary small wooden box, she really couldn't see anything special about it, and the other five camphor wooden boxes were all locked with copper locks.

Fortunately, anything in the space can be disposed of by Tang Bao as he pleases.

She was also very curious about what good things were inside.

Before coming out this time, she buried more than half of her things under the ground at home. She still felt very reluctant, but she was afraid that the balls would be too destructive, so she had no choice but to let the babies see the light of day.

She put her hand on the copper lock of the box, and as soon as she thought about it, the copper lock fell off. When she opened the box, she saw that there were brocade boxes inside. There is a white powder, which may have the function of preventing moisture or moth, so as to protect the scroll.

She has also heard the old saying: silk can protect eight hundred years, and paper can last a thousand years.

It can be imagined that the preservation of ancient paintings has played a very important role in paper, and famous paintings will be unexpectedly precious in the future, but she doesn't know painting, but seeing how well preserved it is, she probably can't find it anywhere.

As soon as she thought about it, she hung the copper lock on the box again, moved the box to a corner by the way, and opened the other four camphorwood boxes one by one.

There is a box full of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and some seals.

She really didn't expect that their ancestors were like a scholarly family, and the things left behind were so stylish.

But Tang Bao is a common man who doesn't know how to appreciate these things, and she thinks that the next box will be full of ancient books, so she won't be too surprised.

However, the next box gave her a big surprise, which contained neatly stacked gold bars.

In an instant, Tang Bao felt that he had been hit by a pie, and his whole body was floating in the clouds beautifully. The gold bars in such a large box cost at least a thousand yuan. I will use this ill-gotten wealth to do more good things."

In the six camphor wood boxes, there are ancient paintings, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, gold, porcelain, and the last box contains some exquisite and small gold and jade jewelry, pearl chains with a warm luster, these beautiful chains, earrings, etc. There are also two daggers that are flickering with cold light.

Eggy managed to come back to her senses, and seeing Tang Bao's excited and silly look, she was really speechless: "No wonder you don't have spiritual roots, this cultivator just wants to be pure-hearted and ascetic, and I think you can't wait to see it." Get into the eyes of money."

"What's wrong with me being an ordinary person?" Tang Bao was contentedly leaning on five boxes, playing with two daggers, and continued to smirk: "It's a pity that these can't be used now, so I can only save them for later use. I'll find a chance to make calligraphy and painting in the future." donate it all..."

"My box is filled with what you can use now," Eggy floated up, and dumped out all the contents of the box under her body, and there was a pile of money on the ground in an instant. One yuan, five cents and twenty cents, five cents and one cent coins, and some food stamps: "Packing these useless things really pollutes my spirit tree."

"You really don't know how expensive oil and salt are if you are not in charge of the family." Tang Bao thought about it, and there was an extra rattan box in her hand. She sorted all the money, and there were more than 200 at a rough count, and decided to use all the money Buy herbs here.

But Eggy has already packed herself into the box, and sighed comfortably: "Okay, this is where I will sleep and practice from now on, the breath here is really comfortable, baby, you should also rest early, and we will sleep together tomorrow." How about going to the deep mountains and wild forests?"

Tang Bao touched his several camphorwood boxes again, left the space contentedly, went outside to freshen up, and then went to sleep.

The next morning, the weather was gloomy and snowflakes were falling, making it even colder.

Tang Bao was going to go out for a stroll, to see if he could take a ride to the mountains.

Sister Wang, who was biting the white flour steamed bun, waved to her behind the counter: "Sister, can you write a letter for me?"

"Okay." Naturally, Tang Bao would not refuse such a trivial matter, and when he walked over, Sister Wang gave her a white flour steamed bun first, and said heartily: "Come on, eat a steamed bun first, it's still hot, it's sweet Very; I looked at you like an intellectual yesterday, and now I don't have to go to anyone else."

Tang Bao thanked her, and began to eat it in small bites. She was stunned that she couldn't taste the sweetness that people said, and thought that the taste was not as good as steamed buns.

Sister Wang enthusiastically poured her a glass of boiling water again, and waited for Tang Bao to finish eating, then took out the paper and pen and handed them to her.

It turns out that her husband is a carpenter, and he often does private work for the neighbors in private. This time, he is looking for good wood, making camphor wood boxes and bathtubs for people, especially for this bathtub. Rotten.

But he hadn't come back yet, and there was another regular customer here asking for an additional order. Sister Wang asked Tang Bao to write down the sizes of the two pairs of boxes, and the carved patterns carefully, and wait for the people here to come to pick up the goods tomorrow. When the time comes, take this letter with you.

Sister Wang looked at Tang Bao's good handwriting, and kept praising: "Sister, your handwriting is really good, and you are a good-looking person. This is all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would be afraid that Ah Han would say no." Clearly, if people are dissatisfied at that time, it will ruin our own good reputation, don't you think?"

"Sister, you're flattering me." Tang Bao asked curiously, "It's so cold now, why are they doing carpentry in the mountains?"

"There must be some movement here, right? It would be troublesome if someone caught him, and he couldn't do it alone, so he called a few people to work, and they built a few houses on the mountain..."

Sister Wang felt that Tang Bao was an outsider, and she didn't have any scruples when she said certain things, and she also meant to show off. Her husband earned a lot of money, but he couldn't tell everyone, which almost suffocated her. Now she can finally tell it to strangers, making her smile extraordinarily bright.

Tang Bao had an idea, he was about to go for a walk in the mountains, he had no goal anyway, seeing no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Sister, I'm getting married, and I want to get some dowry to support the scene, what do you think? Can big brother do it?"

She took a piece of paper, and quickly drew flowers blooming and wealth, as well as butterflies in love with flowers, and cats chasing butterflies.

Although Sister Wang doesn't know how to do carpentry, she has read a lot and understands a little bit. She was shocked by Tang Bao's dexterity. After hesitating for a while, she said, "I didn't expect your hands to be so dexterous, my sister. I am a man who blooms rich and rich." Yes, but the painting of this cat is the same as the real thing, I am not sure if he will, but he has to see it himself to be sure."

"Really? But I'm in a hurry to go back, and I don't think I'll be able to see it again; I still want to thank you, big sister, come on, eat candies." Tang Bao took out a handful of peanut candies from his satchel and handed them to her. Sleeve looked at the time on his watch.

She wanted to let her know that she was not short of money, and she sold peanut nougat to show her generosity.

"Are you leaving so soon?" Sister Wang was really moved. The girl looked like she was not short of money, and said in a low voice: "I also heard about you yesterday. You are here to find someone. Even if you I can make it for you if you want it, so it’s not easy to take it back, right?”

As soon as Tang Bao heard her words, he knew that she was moved, and said in a low voice: "My relatives drive trains. If I can really make it, it will be very convenient to transport it back. In addition, I also want to buy some white strips as a reference. Sister, do you know where these good herbs can be sold?"

Sister Wang looked at her enviously: "Tsk tsk, that's really convenient!"

She also has some calculations in her heart, if her man can make such a good-looking box, the price will naturally not be cheap, and it can also attract customers, so she asked in a low voice: "If you are not busy, sister, follow the car into the mountain to see Look? There are many people at the foot of the mountain over there who go hunting and collecting herbs in private. They must have something good in their hands. My husband bought ginseng from them a few times before. The medicinal materials are good and the price is cheap... "

Sure enough, Tang Bao showed a look of yearning, but with a bit of hesitation: "There will be no danger over there, right?"

"Surely there will be no danger. We are very familiar with them." Sister Wang wanted to pat her chest to reassure her, then looked at her clothes, and kindly suggested: "You'd better go buy a coat, and Scarves, cotton shoes, it's getting cold here."

Tang Bao stomped his feet: "Okay, I'll go out to buy it right now, and I just have a ticket in my hand."

The snow was getting bigger and bigger. Tang Bao thought that she would not go to the mountains in this kind of weather. She bought warm cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers and cotton-padded shoes, and wrapped herself around with a big scarf. After a quick look, it didn't look like she was coming outside. girl.

Early in the morning on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Sister Wang knocked on the door, saying that the snow had stopped and someone to pick up Tang Bao had come.

Tang Bao put on his clothes and got up, packed the things on the bed, and then opened the door with the rattan box.

The car was an ordinary pickup truck with a bucket. Tang Bao had asked Sister Wang a long time ago, and said that it was still half a day's drive from here to the foot of the mountain.

"This snow is so thick, will it be dangerous for the car to go on the road?" Tang Bao was really worried. When she stepped on the snow, she felt that it was at least seven or eight inches thick, and the creaking sound made her feel I won't be able to stand up and slide.

Besides, the snow doesn't turn the snow into cold. The snow has stopped at this time, and today's temperature is obviously much lower than yesterday. Can my small body really withstand it?
The driver was a young man in his 20s, with delicate features and a little shy. He put the baskets of rice, noodles, and vegetables that Sister Wang gave him on the back of the truck, and grinned when he heard this: "Don't worry, big sister, don't worry." Something will happen, I drove out yesterday."

"That's right, he used to drive out to deliver things when it snowed heavily before, so he's definitely fine with this little snow," Sister Wang simply pushed Tang Bao into the passenger compartment of the truck. This kind of small truck has only one driver's seat and the passenger's seat in front. The position, also don't care about any male and female defense.

Tang Bao was beating drums in his heart. He felt that it was really dangerous to go out in this kind of weather, especially the current car safety is relatively poor and there are no seat belts, but if he said it rashly, would he be a little embarrassed?
While she was hesitating, Ah Han also got into the driver's seat, closed the car door, without looking at Tang Bao, inserted the key into the keyhole, started the car, started the car, and drove off.

Tang Bao didn't say much now, he could only pray that his driving skills were good and that no accidents would happen.

The snow outside has not yet melted, and he dare not drive too fast. Nowadays, men and women don’t talk about the mountains casually, and he is also very shy. He dare not look at Tang Bao. Drowsy, head bit by bit, like a chicken chopping rice.

I don't know how long it took before Tang Bao heard him calling himself, opened his eyes only to see that he had stopped the car, and said with a serious face: "Sister, someone in front is injured, can you help me?" Want to see?"

If it hadn't been for sure that he didn't have any malicious aura on him, Tang Bao would have thought he had run into a fat sheep again, following the direction he pointed, he saw a wheelbarrow on the road and a woman with a big belly humming , an anxious man sweating profusely.
