Phoenix?
She immediately thought of the phoenix jade pendant.
She quickly went over, took the thing from Lu Zhengting's hand, and examined it carefully.
This metal phoenix is very beautiful. Although it was made by casting it upside down from a mold, you can see that the workmanship is exquisite and the shape is exceptionally beautiful. It is almost comparable to the dragon-shaped metal mold in his space.
She suddenly realized that the metal used to make the phoenix was almost identical to the metal used to make the dragon. Could they be a pair?
If they are a pair, the metal mold of this phoenix should be the same shape as the jade phoenix pendant.
She had never seen the phoenix jade pendant before, but through this phoenix mold, she finally knew what the jade pendant truly looked like.
Seeing her examining the phoenix mold with unusual care, Lu Zhengting asked her, "Wife, have you seen something like this before? Or do you think there's something unusual about it?"
"Zhengting, I'm asking you, where did you get this thing from?"
Is it similar to the situation where she found the dragon jade pendant, that it was also found on a mountain?
Lu Zhengting glanced at his wife for two seconds and said calmly, "Honey, I found it on the mountain in Mopan Village. You're asking this because there must be something wrong with it, right?"
"I'll show you something."
She turned and walked to the wooden box, opened it, and took out the metal dragon mold from the box—or rather, from her spatial storage.
She placed the phoenix mold and the dragon mold together, and they were exactly the same size.
"Zhengting, look, don't they look like a couple?"
When Gu Zhengting saw the dragon mold, his dark, deep eyes lit up instantly.
"Wife, where did you get this dragon-shaped amulet?"
“I also found them on the mountain in Mopan Village. I think they should be a pair.”
Lu Zhengting nodded immediately, as if pounding garlic. "Wife, they are indeed a couple. And I also know something else about them."
"What is it?"
Lu Zhengting then told Lin Qingyan about the cave he had seen on the mountain in Mopan Village.
"You mean the two stone doors of that cave have their shapes on them?"
"Yes, and I compared this phoenix mold with the one in the groove of one of the stone doors, and the shape and size of the phoenix in the groove matched perfectly."
Both stone doors were very thick, and there were traces of blasting and burning at the bottom of the doors, indicating that they had tried to open the doors, but to no avail.
I think there's definitely something hidden in that cave, and because of the value of what's inside, the two stone doors are fitted with mechanisms that require special methods to open; external attacks probably won't work.
"So, you think there must be a specific key for them on those two stone doors?"
"Yes, it's very likely what you and I have." But he wasn't sure.
Lin Qingyan was also unsure for the time being. "Zhengting, why don't we take leave and go back to try?"
She had many questions in her mind.
What exactly is hidden in that cave?
Is it also related to his phoenix and dragon jade pendant?
She wanted to figure it out as soon as possible.
Lu Zhengting had just returned from the battle, and apart from the three days of rest given by the military region, it would be easy for him to ask for leave.
So they all asked their superiors for five days off and prepared to take the train back to Mopantun Brigade.
Because Lin Qingyan needs to change Feng Yidong's dressings regularly, someone will be needed to take care of this task after she leaves.
She first went to the hospital director and handed over the two bottles of ointment.
"Dean, I'm not here, so I'll trouble you to change Comrade Feng Yidong's dressing. One of these two bottles is for treating his eyes, and the other is for treating his burns. It needs to be changed every three days. I'll write down the dosage on a piece of paper for you in a bit."
The dean agreed: "Okay, leave him to me, and you can go home in peace."
After leaving the hospital director's office, she went to Feng Yidong's ward and told him about the hospital director's work in changing his dressings over the past few days.
Before she and Lu Zhengting left, they went to the department store to buy some gifts for their relatives there.
A little over a day later, they arrived safely at Mopantun Brigade.
The Li family was overjoyed to see them return.
Li Qinqin hugged Lin Qingyan's arm, "Sister-in-law, I missed you so much after you've been gone for so long."
Lin Qingyan took out the silk scarf she had bought for her and tied it around her neck.
"This is a gift for you."
"Thank you, cousin-in-law, I like it very much."
Lin Qingyan bought a festive bright red long-sleeved shirt for Grandma Li, and the old lady was overjoyed to wear it.
"Okay, okay, Grandma likes it too."
But in his heart, he thought to himself that his granddaughter-in-law was even more filial than his own granddaughter-in-law.
Little Bean got a toy gun, and after receiving it, the little guy went out to "fight the Japanese devils" with his friends.
Others also received different gifts.
After lunch, Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting rested in the room that Li's mother had specially prepared for them before going up the mountain together.
The two arrived at the cave. Lu Zhengting noticed that the stone door of the cave was exactly the same as when he last discovered it. He wondered if anyone had opened it before.
He led Lin Qingyan to the stone gate and pointed to the two dragon and phoenix grooves on the gate. "Wife, these are the two grooves. Let's put the mold we have on them and see what happens."
"good."
They each took out the dragon and phoenix molds they had found and placed them into the two slots.
