Although the boss felt embarrassed, he made it clear that life is important, hesitated, and he agreed.
So the three people made a room in the middle of the room and proceeded to open the package in the room. Because when the boss stored these packages, he did not leave any labels related to the time and time. We had to take the nearest one to dismantle each other. Soon, all kinds of things filled up the empty space.
I took a rough look at it while tearing it down. There is still nothing special. It seems that everything related to the identity of the package owner has been carefully removed. The people who left the package seemed to be afraid of something.
But it also proved that the boss did not lie to us, because we found a lot of cash in some packages. If the boss really swallows the contents of the package, the money will definitely not be left.
This unpacking is simple to say, but it is actually an individual effort. The three people worked hard for an hour before they unpacked all the packages. After smoking a cigarette and resting, we began to sort and sort out the contents of the package.
These things are trivial, but they can be roughly divided into two categories. One is daily necessities, such as pens, tableware or raincoats. The other is personal items such as glasses or watches. There are all kinds of things. Indeed, as the boss said, it can be easily seen from the style and workmanship of these things that the age of these packages really spans decades.
The more I look at it, the more I can't help but whisper. These things are supposedly not worth much, nor do they seem to have any commemorative significance. What is the reason that people will be willing to pay to the boss for safekeeping? Even if this thing is taken back by the Wan family, what can it do? Or are these tens of thousands of families really big enough to treat money like dung? Is it okay to play?
Thinking so, my eyes lit up. It really made me glimpse a golden thing in the watch pile.
It was a pocket watch when picked up. It should be gold-plated, in terms of workmanship, like a European product. This thing is valuable even if it is not antique. Earlier, I once saw a piece in an antique shop. When I asked if the price was high enough to buy a piece of Swiss watch, I didn't take it seriously.
Now that this thing is in my hand, I'm still a bit dark.
Open the case, glance at it, the watch has stopped, and there are a few things on the dial that do not know if it is a gem. It looks beautiful anyway. I just wanted to say that this toss was worth it at least, and my eyes glanced at the photo on the inside of the watch cover.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that my back neck was cold, and I immediately went to see Qin Yiheng beside me! Fortunately, he was focusing on other things, not paying attention to me. I hurriedly put the watch into my pocket quietly, touched my forehead, and sweated unconsciously.
In the photo is a group photo of two young people. I do n’t know one person, but I can confirm that the other person is 100% Qin Yiheng!
What's going on? Qin Yiheng knows the owner of this watch? Looking at this posture, the one who can put the group photo in the pocket watch is definitely unusual. But Qin Yiheng never mentioned it from beginning to end. Not even relevant words or phrases.
I glanced at him secretly again, without expression. Does he not know that one of the owners of these packages is known to him? Is there any other reason?
There was a surge in my heart. I don't know if I should open my mouth and ask Qin Yiheng.
I pinched myself secretly, no matter whether I asked or not, I had to keep calm.
However, when people just felt calmer, I suddenly thought suddenly.
If this piece of pocket watch is Qin Yiheng at all? Many years ago, he had entered the siege, and also left the same package as his predecessors?
But it looks like Qin Yiheng was young at the time!
Or is he the last to enter the siege? Not so far from the present time?
I can't tell when this pocket watch was left. Now that the packages have been opened, I can't remember from which package this pocket watch was found. In this way, even the possibility of asking the boss is gone.
What's more, the boss didn't have any impression on these parcels. There are so many parcels, not to mention that it's a half a hundred old man, even I have no confidence to remember.
My hand was quietly groping for pocket watches in my pocket, and my brain was almost messy.
This kind of performance is almost useless. One is very inconvenient to use, and the other is not popular. His owner is obviously very retro.
But what if his master is not the current one? This watch was left decades ago.
Qin Yiheng visited the siege several decades ago? But now he is not getting old? Is he filthy? Face is not changed! ?
filthy.
Is Qin Yiheng already dead decades ago? ? ?
I very much regret the haste of looking at the photos just now. I only recognized Qin Yiheng's face and did not recognize the age from the background and dress. Otherwise, there is no such a random guess now.
I stood up and planned to make a lie and go out for a while to study the pocket watch.
Before I opened my mouth, Qin Yiheng suddenly called me, Jiang Shuo.
My heart immediately mentioned his throat.
"I know what these packages are." Qin Yiheng also stood up and said that there would be no valuable things at all. These are just relics. The Wan family waited for all the dust to settle, and the people who settled all of them brought the relics back to be buried. Honor the predecessors who sacrificed for this.
I checked it carefully and nothing more. Qin Yiheng sighed a little, saying that a person or a family is pressed by fate for too long, and what they want is actually as simple as peace. We think too much.
I looked at Qin Yiheng, not knowing why, I think he was telling the truth.
Maybe it's because I am also the one who has been pressed by fate.
Can feel the same helplessness and pressure.
But if these parcels are just ordinary relics, then the new problem comes again. Why should I get that mysterious text message? Is it because I undid the iron chain? But I do n’t even know where to go to bury my family.
When I thought about it, I instantly understood that the only value of these things is this pocket watch. That person must know that the pocket watch is in the package, this is the purpose he asked me to take!
He wanted to tell me that this has something to do with Qin Yiheng!
Thinking of here I decided to continue to explore the tone and asked, what does that mysterious short breath mean? Want us to help burial? Where to bury? Wanjia Ancestral Hall?
I do not know. This is a bit strange. Qin Yiheng shook his head, we must find out who sent the text message.
Qin Yiheng said to the boss, you can go. At checkout, a penny will not cost you less. Hope you do n’t say anything about today. We are really not malicious. Also, no one will leave the package in the future. Doing business with peace of mind, it's better to be less profitable.
The boss had always been at a loss after unpacking the parcel. Now that he finally heard this, he quickly nodded and said a few thanks, before opening the door.
Qin Yiheng and I were both left in the room.
Neither of us spoke. He seemed to be thinking about the purpose of the text message. And I have been struggling to show off with Qin Yiheng. In fact, I really don't want to hide anything. I was born and died along the way, and I should say something about pocket watches.
I smoked three cigarettes in a row, and the hand holding my pocket watch in my pocket was already sweaty. Finally, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I pulled out my pocket watch and shook it in front of Qin Yiheng. "Do you know this? I found it in the package."
Qin Yiheng was surprised and shook his head.
"I don't know. I turned this watch out of the package. I haven't seen it yet. It turned out to be put away by you. Jiang Shuo, what do you want to express?"
This time I was shocked. It really doesn't look like he is lying. I took a deep breath and handed the pocket watch to Qin Yiheng.
Then I saw Qin Yiheng slowly open the cover, his face changed. His eyes seemed to be firmly nailed to the watch, and even his breathing stopped!
"This watch is yours." Qin Yiheng suddenly said a word after a while.
