Chapter 214 Small Box Key

After Tang Qing waited for the little bald head and the others to rush out of the People's Barber Shop, she walked through the alley from another street corner to the old courtyard on Lushan Road alone.

"Sister, Master Jiujin is here."

Li Ya accompanied Tang Qing to Li Li.

Li Li sat at the Eight Immortals table at the top of the hall, resting her head on the table with a tired face.

Seeing Tang Qing coming in, Li Li stood up to greet her.But as soon as he stood up, he wobbled and sat on the stool again.

"You'd better go back to the house and have a rest."

Tang Qing went to support Li Li.

"No, thank you for coming."

Li Li was full of guilt and guilt.

"Li Ya, you and your sister bring those three small boxes to the room together."

Tang Qing asked Li Li to carry the small box taken from Aunt Li's grave, and Li Ya took the two small boxes taken from Li's old house to the main room in Dongshou.

After Li Li and Li Ya walked into the room, Tang Qing beckoned Carpenter Wang and Cai Jiaotou to his side to discuss:

"You two hurry up and arrange the mourning hall according to my request just now. Be quick, and the more exaggerated the better."

"Master Jiujin, don't worry, I promise to scare that coward to death!"

"Master Wang, he is not cowardly, you must not let him see the flaws."

"Master Jiujin, leave it to me, I am an expert in this field."

"Master Caijiao, don't take it lightly, he is a scheming man."

"Master Jiujin, no matter how scheming he is, you will definitely take him down."

"I said not to take it lightly. We must not let what happened in the Xishan Cemetery repeat itself. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to help Sister Li Li and Li Ya, but we will also become the chief culprit who lured wolves into the house."

"Master Jiujin, don't worry, we will arrange it properly."

"Master Jiujin, go in and get busy, we will arrange it according to your requirements."

"Be sure to arrange it well!"

Tang Qing told Carpenter Wang and Cai Jiaotou to walk into the main house of Dongshou and close the door.

Li Li and Li Ya still held three small boxes in their hands.

"Put down the little box first."

"Oh."

At this time, Li Li was completely different from Aunt Li's grave in Xishan Cemetery.

"Did you call the locksmith?"

Tang Qing bent down to inspect the three small boxes on the desk.

"I called six locksmiths successively, but none of them could open the locks above."

"Have those locksmiths touched the lock on it?"

"They were going to open the lock, of course they touched the lock."

"How about you two?"

"We have touched it too, but we just can't open it."

"Master Jiujin, these locks really don't have a keyhole."

Li Ya reached out to one of the locks.

"Don't move yet!"

Tang Qing stopped Li Ya.

The three small boxes are exactly the same, all made of rattan wood, and the color is red.

The height of each small box is about 80 cm, the length is about 90 cm, and the width is about 60 cm. The corners are wrapped with copper foil, and the workmanship is very delicate.

There is a small lock on the left and right sides of each small box. The small lock is small and exquisite, shaped like a small butterfly, dancing under the light.

Tang Qing stared for a long time, and asked Li Li and Li Yadao:

"Do you have any souvenirs left by your parents?"

"These are the three little boxes."

Li Ya answered Tang Qing first.

"Yes, these two are relics left by my mother, which my father told me about. This one is a relic left by my mother, which was told by Grandpa Tang, as you know."

Li Li pointed to the three small boxes in front of him and explained to Tang Qing.

"I know that. I'm asking if you have any souvenirs left by your parents when you were young?"

Tang Qing looked at Li Li and Li Ya.

"I never saw my mother when I was a child, and there must be no souvenirs from my mother."

"My parents never saw it when I was a child, let alone the souvenirs they left me."

Li Ya and Li Li answered Tang Qing without thinking.

"Did you wear necklaces or bracelets when you were young?"

Tang Qing saw that Li Li and Li Ya both wore a necklace around their necks, but they were different.Look at their hands again, they are empty and they are not wearing anything.

"Did you wear necklaces and bracelets when you were young? The one I have now was given to me by my sister."

"I was fostered in other people's homes since I was a child, and it is even more impossible to wear necklaces and bracelets."

Li Li and Li Ya denied it.

"Am I thinking wrong? Then what do these small locks mean? Since they are locks, why don't they have keyholes? If they are not locks, where do they hang them? Hmm? The lock of a box should be locked in the front. How do the locks of the box lock on both sides?"

Tang Qing racked his brains, thinking hard.

She bent down to take a closer look at the little butterflies, that is, the handfuls of locks.

"Tombstones, tombstones,

Brother Liang, you engrave two pieces of red and black characters.

The red one is engraved with my Zhu Yingtai,

The black one is engraved with you Liang Shanbo.

I am not compatible with your former husband and wife,

Brother Liang!
Even if I die, I will share the grave with you. "

The libretto of the Shaoxing opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" sounded in Tang Qing's ears. It was because of Aunt Li's last wish that his grandfather was willing to risk the disgrace of the world and set up two tombstones, red and black, in front of Aunt Li's grave.

Are these three small boxes related to the play "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"?

Lock?Butterfly?

In the end, didn't Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both become butterflies and fly together?
Tang Qing desperately searched for the lyrics about "butterfly" in the Yue opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

"Your father refuses to send you back,

My Liang family's sedan chair will be the first to carry it!

Hangcheng invites the teacher's mother,
I wish you to sit up in the living room,
The offer of engagement is the jade fan pendant,
I hid tightly in the sleeve.

Jade butterfly,
jade fan pendant,
Can't they be husband and wife? "

"Jade butterfly,

jade fan pendant,
Butterflies are meant to be in pairs,
Little do you know that you and I are in charge,
No one regards it as a matchmaker. "

Yes, jade butterfly, jade fan pendant.Since the lock is a butterfly, it should also be a butterfly, the jade butterfly on the fan pendant.

Thinking of this, Tang Qing asked Li Li and Li Yadao:

"Did your father give you any special relics before he passed away?"

"A special relic?"

"What particular relic? What do you mean?"

Li Li and Li Ya don't understand what Tang Qing's special relic refers to?
"Like a fan? A fan with a pendant."

Tang Qing reminded Li Li and Li Ya.

"Fan? Yes, yes, there is one, there is one!"

"There is indeed a fan. My father said that when I find my mother's tomb, I will bury him with her. Others don't need to be buried in it. The fan must be buried with his urn."

Li Ya and Li Li answered.

Tang Qing was overjoyed, stepped forward and grabbed the hands of Li Li and Li Ya respectively, and asked excitedly:

"Where is that fan? Where is that fan?"

Li Li and Li Ya didn't know why Tang Qing was so excited, and told Tang Qing quietly:
"That fan, that fan..."

"Already, already..."

"Already? What happened already? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing Li Ya and Li Li hesitating, Tang Qing was so anxious that he pulled the arms of sisters Li Li and Li Ya with both hands.

When Li Li and Li Ya saw Tang Qing like this, they didn't dare to retract their left and right hands that were painfully pulled by Tang Qing, and replied in low voices one after another:
"Already, we have been cremated together with Dad."

"Qingtuan, don't worry. It's just an old fan. The bones of the fan have been broken, and the surface of the fan is also in tatters. My father said that we want to bury it together, so we think it should be cremated together and put in the ashes." in the box."

"Oh, you, you, what should I do? What should I do?"

Tang Qing let go of Li Li and Li Ya's hands, beat his chest and stamped his feet, heartbroken.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Master Jiujin, is that fan very important?"

Li Li and Li Ya asked Tang Qing cautiously.

"That fan must be the key to these small boxes. You guys, how could you cremate it together?"

Tang Qing cried anxiously.

"Is that fan the key to these little boxes?"

"Is it possible? How could that fan be the key to open these small boxes? Qingtuan, calm down. I know you have worked so hard to help both of us, but don't think about it, you still have to pay attention to your own body. "

Li Ya and Li Li did not believe that the key to the three small boxes would be the fan.
