Live broadcast of magnet fishing, the police called me to file a report

Chapter 19 The mysterious mechanism box

What is he doing?
  Others were confused when they saw Ye Haoran looking around but not taking action.

Could it be that you are afraid?

Various speculations emerged in their minds. It was not surprising that they had caught so many heavyweights in a row.

But what about staring at them?

Are you trying to find someone to embolden you?

Studio.

"I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, so let's do it!"

"Hahaha, I thought he wouldn't be afraid, but in the end, he was still scared!"

"Anchor, please be brave and don't be timid. If someone dies, he will look up to the sky."

"If you don't dare to come up, let me do it instead!"

"I bet a pack of spicy strips will stop him from fishing!"

……

Ye Haoran's strange behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of many viewers. There was no result about the corpse. They were all waiting for Ye Haoran to create some show effects to pass the time. As a result, everyone went to the lakeside and did not move.

It’s not just about whetting your appetite.

"I need to save more quickly to bring some goods!"

Ye Haoran came back from his thoughts and secretly sighed that the point of bringing goods was true.

Such a big thing happened, but as a result, the prize was gone after one draw.

If you don’t take advantage of the crowd, bring more goods.

I don’t know how many days to wait for the next lottery, let alone trying a higher level lottery.

thump!
  The magnet was thrown out by him, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, and then hit the water hard, causing water to splash.

With anticipation, he silently looked at the lake and waited.

Green mountains, green waters and picturesque scenery, fishing in such a place is undoubtedly a pleasant thing.

Ye Haoran, who had acquired the primary appraisal skill, was extremely confident at the moment and was not worried at all that he would catch something like a corpse again.

A person's luck can't always be so evil, can it?

Besides, his fortune has turned around.

After waiting for a while, Ye Haoran, who felt about the same, began to tighten the rope. After a while, the smile on his face froze.

The weight coming from the rope felt familiar to him.

This was the feeling when I caught Liang Ying's body just now.

Another corpse?

Ye Haoran felt a headache. He changed three places and still caught the body.

Have you arrived at a mass grave?
  He secretly thought that this was outrageous, but he continued to pull the rope to pull up the object attracted by the magnet.

Not long after, Ye Haoran finally saw what was caught.

call!
  Ye Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, it was a rusty box.

"I said it couldn't be that evil, and it turned out to be a treasure."

Ye Haoran instantly sped up his movements and pulled the box in the water ashore.

It was an iron box. The whole box was a cube. Its length, width and height were about the same as the twenty-centimeter ruler used in school. Due to severe oxidation, the pattern on the surface could no longer be seen. There was no lock or lid on the surface.

Ye Haoran took the iron box and looked around for a long time, and then he saw a cipher disk with ancient characters engraved on one side.

"It's actually a cryptex?"

Looking at the things in his hands, Ye Haoran felt very strange. He shook his hands vigorously and could hear something inside.

"Item name: Iron machine box."

"Owner: Zhang Guobang." "Introduction: A mechanical box made by skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. It is used to store important items and can be opened with a specific password."

"Price: 5300 Xia national coins."

Without thinking, Ye Haoran directly used the identification technique to identify the cryptex box. A Ming Dynasty mechanism box was only worth more than five thousand, which really surprised him.

"It's an antique after all, and it only costs so much?"

Ye Haoran sighed secretly in his heart, but after thinking about it for a moment, he could understand.

After all, it's already rusted into iron lumps, so it's good to be able to sell it for money.

If it could be well preserved, it would definitely cost more than this.

"How to open it?"

Ye Haoran turned the disk on the cipher box with his hand. Because it was too rusty, the ring that should have been able to rotate now could not rotate.

After trying it, but seeing no effect, Ye Haoran decisively gave up the idea of ​​opening the cryptex through the password.

"What on earth did the person who made the box think that he would use iron to make the mechanism box?"

Feeling a headache, Ye Haoran complained in his mind that iron is inherently prone to oxidation, and even if it is well maintained, the cipher box will become useless if it is not used for seventeen or eight years.

If you put some treasures inside, I might not be able to open it after a long time.

"what is this?"

Ye Haoran was holding the mechanism box and was thinking about how to open it. Xu Mei walked over and became very curious about this weird box that was seriously oxidized.

"This is a Ming Dynasty machine box, used to store important things."

"Did you know this is an antique from the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing Ye Haoran's explanation, Xu Mei's eyes were filled with surprise.

In her impression, Ye Haoran was a idle rich second generation who was keen on eating, drinking and having fun. She even helped with the business of the magnet factory.

Such a person can actually recognize the origin of a cultural relic that is so oxidized that it is difficult to tell what it is.

Boss, since when did you start researching antiques?

Xu Mei was puzzled.

Ye Haoran cast a look of contempt at Xu Mei: "I know a lot, but I just don't like to show off!"

Xu Mei had an expression of "Guess whether I believe it or not", just forget it to fool others.

She has been following Ye Haoran for several years, and she handles many things. Does she know what is going on with Ye Haoran?
  She didn't believe a word of Ye Haoran's words.

Ye Haoran directly ignored Xu Mei's expression. He didn't say that just to show off, but mainly to get a vaccination. He didn't intend to hide his appraisal skills. He would use them if he encountered any situation later.

Xu Mei will naturally believe this matter more times later.

Ye Haoran pointed to the disc with words engraved on the top of the mechanism box and introduced: "If you don't see it here, just turn these words to a specific position and the box can be opened and you can see the treasure hidden inside."

As he spoke, he shook the machine box again, making it make a crashing sound.

baby?

Xu Mei's eyes lit up instantly. Although she had doubts about Ye Haoran's statement, judging from the degree of corrosion of the box, it must be an old item.

What can be saved in this way is definitely not a simple thing.

"However, now that the mechanism is broken, there is no way to open it through the password."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Faced with Ye Haoran's inquiry, Xu Mei thought for a moment and quickly gave a suggestion: "Smash it with a stone!"

The mechanism box itself has been severely oxidized, and with the things placed inside, it is not solid.

Find a big rock and you can probably take it apart in two or three clicks.

Simple and crude.

It’s hard to say anything else nearby, but there is definitely no shortage of big rocks.
