Chapter 472 I've seen this box
At five o'clock the next morning, Lei Zhen drove Shu Jin to the airport.
"Wife, when will you come next time?"
"Actually, I wanted to go to your room last night, but considering that you had to fly to the capital in the morning and go to work after arriving, I didn't want to disturb you..."
The words sound nice, but no one believes them.
"Another sleepless night, huh?" Shu Jin frowned and said, "Be more restrained and don't drain your body."
"Didn't I just not go to your place last night?"
"That's true..."
Shu Jin had nothing to say about this.
If Lei Zhen had been at his place last night, he would have probably stayed awake all night too.
"Lei Zhen, my father asked me to pass this on to you."
Shu Jin took out a large box from her bag and handed it over.
The box is square and made of wood, but it looks very old and has a corner missing on the left side.
"Grandpa gave it to me?" Lei Zhen took it and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
He shook it and heard a rustling sound inside.
"I don't know. My father told me that this was something from your family. He told me to hide it after I got it and not show it to anyone else."
"Haha, why is the old man so mysterious?"
"It's what happens when you get old. Besides, I'm afraid my father doesn't have much time left."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Shu Jin's face, but his mood was generally okay.
No one can control birth, old age, sickness and death. Mr. Shu has lived a very old life, and his life in this world is worth it.
Now everyone is waiting, and even everything that needs to be prepared is ready.
"Wife, don't worry, the old man can still hold on." Lei Zhen comforted her as he drove the car into the parking lot and parked it.
"Father said you were not allowed to go when he left."
"Why?" Lei Zhen asked doubtfully, "After all, I'm his future son-in-law. How could I not go to such a big event?"
Shu Jin shook her head. She was just conveying her father's instructions.
I don't know the specific reason, but he confessed it to me when he was very sober.
"See what's inside."
Lei Zhen shook the box and felt that the thing inside seemed like a small thing.
"I won't watch it." Shu Jin said.
"Let's watch it together. I have no secrets in front of you."
"If I have to hide a secret, honey, I actually traveled from a place called Earth."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Okay, I have no secrets from you anymore, haha."
Lei Zhen laughed and reached out to open the wooden box.
medal!
There were no less than 30 medals in the box, of different styles. Some were so old that the words on them were blurred.
But it's not wear and tear, it's more about the casting process of that era.
"Why did the old man give me a medal?" Lei Zhen looked puzzled.
"They're not my father's." Shu Jin shook his head and said, "All his medals are hung on an old military uniform so that he can attend important occasions."
Lei Zhen picked up the medals and looked at them one by one. Based on the words on them, he could tell that these medals spanned almost sixty or seventy years.
In other words, these medals belong to an old revolutionary... No, only about half of them belong to an old revolutionary, and the rest are not military standard and are relatively new.
"Kill the traitor?"
"Suppressing bandits?"
The newer medal is very strange. It actually has the words "kill traitors" on it. It seems that there is no such medal.
“There are photos below.”
Lei Zhen picked up the yellowed photo and stared at the two young soldiers in it.
"This is father, and this is..."
Shu Jin stared at the photo, then turned to look at Lei Zhen's face.
"I feel like you look a bit like this old senior. I don't know if it's an illusion..."
Lei Zhen didn't say anything, he stared at the wooden box in a daze.
He felt that the wooden box looked familiar, as if he had seen it before.
"Thunder?"
"This wooden box... let me open it and take a look."
Lei Zhen put his hand on the edge of the wooden box and pulled it gently.
“Crack!”
A piece of wood was pulled out, revealing the inner layer, which was filled with folded papers. Because they had been left there for too long, mold had appeared on them.
“Crack!”
The second wooden board was pulled out, and there was a photo in the interlayer.
Almost instantly, Lei Zhen turned the photo upside down at the bottom of the box, and at the same time his breathing began to become rapid.
He smoked three boards extremely.
“Crack!”
Inside the interlayer was a thin piece of paper, also stained with mold.
As the last wooden board was pulled out, a letter wrapped in oil paper fell out, well preserved.
"What are these?"
Shu Jin realized that the things stored inside were not simple.
"It's not finished yet." Lei Zhen said in a muffled voice: "Wife, the bottom of the box can be opened. After you open it, see if there is a dragon carved on it."
He stuffed the box over, turned around, opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and smoked it fiercely.
"Honey, it's a carving of a dragon!"
"There are words next to it: 'Yu' and 'Chen'..."
Shu Jin's face was filled with shock. "Yu" plus "Chen" equals the word "Zhen".
What does this box have to do with Lei Zhen?
I don’t know, but my father asked me to give this to Lei Zhen, which means they have a very close relationship.
"See what those papers say." Lei Zhen bit the cigarette butt and made a great decision.
It is fate and there is no way to escape it. No matter how he denies it as a time traveler, the facts are right in front of him.
He did not come out of a stone. He has a father and a mother. No one exists alone in the world.
He had intended to talk about it later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Birth certificate, your birth certificate!"
Lei Zhen's body trembled violently, the cigarette in his hand almost fell, and the expression on his face changed instantly.
"Father, Lei Hongwu; Mother, Qiu Han; Son, Lei Zhen..."
Shu Jin glanced at Lei Zhen and continued reading.
The information on the birth certificate is quite detailed, including date of birth, place of birth, hospital, etc.
"There's another one." Lei Zhen said.
"The situation is critical. I am afraid that my wife and children will inevitably suffer. Please ensure that my children are safe. This is the last words of my nephew Hongwu."
After reading this, Shu Jin seemed to understand something.
She immediately picked up the photo and saw the family of three in it: the man was imposing, even in the photo; the woman was gentle and virtuous, and the smile on her lips made people feel extremely close to her.
And then there's the child in the man's arms, that face shape, those eyes, that nose...
"This is your parents, and you."
Shu Jin handed over the photo.
"call……"
Lei Zhen took a deep breath, did not take the photo, and continued to smoke his cigarette.
"Thunder..."
"Honey, I'm fine."
"It's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect my father to be so complicated, haha."
He pretended to be calm, and used the mentality of a time traveler to make himself as indifferent as possible.
But it’s impossible!
Because he is Lei Zhen, the blood flowing in his body will not lie.
