Even high-tech can’t scan it?
With the technology of this planet, they can actually make materials that block radiation?
With doubts, Xu Xingchen felt more and more that this box was unusual.
Because Xu Xingchen had been in a state of anxiety during the day, now that she was at home, a feeling of fatigue instantly swept over her.
She had no choice but to put the wooden box away and go back to her room to sleep.
The next day.
Xu Xingchen got up dejectedly. The white tiger yesterday had cast a deep shadow on her. Her dreams were filled with white tigers pouncing on her, and she slept very uneasily.
Jun Haoyue cut some bamboos from somewhere and carried them back. Mendun followed him closely, holding a thin bamboo that was almost as tall as him in his hand, and was having a lot of fun playing with it.
When she returned to the yard, Menduner saw Xu Xingchen and ran towards her waving a bamboo, "Mom, golden cudgel." Xu Xingchen's brows relaxed when she heard his crisp call.
Jun Haoyue placed the bamboos in a row on the ground. Munduner came out of Xu Xingchen's arms again, picked up a bamboo with his short body, and shouted happily, "Bamboo, bamboo, food."
"kindness?"
"Bamboo tube rice?" Jun Haoyue translated for Mendun'er. He curiously asked Xu Xingchen, "Xingchen, can you make it?"
Xu Xingchen suddenly realized that she didn’t know how to make bamboo tube rice, but she could make it by following the recipe.
She nodded, "I guess so."
"Count?" Jun Haoyue was skeptical. As far as he knew, bamboo tube rice was a southern delicacy. This was in the northwest, right?
"No, Jun Haoyue, you come and help chop the bamboo, and I'll go wash the glutinous rice. We'll eat bamboo tube rice today." After giving the instructions, Xu Xingchen went into the kitchen.
Washing rice was quick, so she returned to the yard after washing it. Jun Haoyue was chopping bamboo.
Xu Xingchen listened to the crackling sound of bamboo being split, feeling a bit lost. The underground stems and branches of bamboo were densely knotted and hollow in the middle. Somehow, she thought of the box without any gaps.
Jun Haoyue split the bamboo into sections and arranged them, while Xu Xingchen mixed glutinous rice, corn kernels, potatoes and other vegetables and put them into the bamboo sections.
Xu Xingchen was a little absent-minded because he was worried about the wooden box. When he was tying the hemp rope to secure it, his finger was scratched by the edge of the bamboo tube.
There were spots of blood, but Xu Xingchen didn't notice it. It was Jun Haoyue who saw it, grabbed her wrist and rinsed it with clean water.
"Why don't you pay more attention..." he scolded anxiously, but when he saw Xu Xingchen with a dazed look on his face, he swallowed his words of blame and secretly blamed himself for not scraping off the burrs on the edge of the bamboo tube.
He bandaged Xu Xingchen silently, sat opposite her, and asked seriously, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xingchen looked at his fingers wrapped in white gauze and replied in a daze, "Ah?"
Jun Haoyue's face turned cold and cold.
Xu Xingchen felt a chill and immediately reacted, "Uh, something's wrong."
"What's the matter?" The cold air was slowly withdrawn.
"It's just...I found a box on the mountain yesterday."
Jun Haoyue raised his eyebrows and said, "Pick it up?" There is such a good thing in this remote place, and it is still waiting for her to pick it up?
Xu Xingchen touched his nose and thought, "Tsk, why be so sensitive?"
"Hey, I just found it." I found it in the cave.
"How did you pick it up? Where did you pick it up?"
Xu Xingchen: “…”
It's not good for a man to dig into things like this. She really wanted to remind him of this, but she didn't dare.
"I picked it up in a cave on the mountain." There was no way she could tell Jun Haoyue about encountering a white tiger or falling off a cliff, otherwise he would definitely lecture her again.
"hiss--"
"Daddy."
Munduner had climbed onto Xu Xingchen's shoulders at some point. She didn't feel much pain when she fell off the cliff, but now that Munduner's small body pressed down on her, it actually hurt.
She took Mundun'er off her shoulders and said, "Son, look for your father. Why are you climbing on me?" Then she stuffed Mundun'er into Jun Haoyue's arms.
Jun Haoyue didn't even look at him, but just asked, "Are you hurt?"
Xu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly laughed, "No, no, I just got a stiff neck last night. Oh, it feels so bad to have a stiff neck."
However, is Jun Haoyue such an easy person to fool?
He stood up and said with a serious look in his eyes, "If you don't tell me, I'll take a look myself."
Hey, hey, hey, come on, men and women shouldn’t touch each other!
"Wait, wait, wait, let me tell you."
Xu Xingchen finally gave in and told him everything about the traps she had encountered and the story of Baihu. Of course, the part about Baihu was downplayed by her.
After hearing this, Jun Haoyue's face didn't look very good. "If I had known earlier, I would have gone with you." His tone was full of guilt.
"Jun Haoyue, oh my, I'm fine." Xu Xingchen couldn't bear to see him like this, so he thought for a moment and changed the subject, "That wooden box! Wait a minute."
"Wooden box?"
Xu Xingchen took the wooden box out of the laboratory and handed it to him, saying, "Look, I found this in a cave. I looked at it, and there's no cracks in it. I don't know how to open it. It's amazing, isn't it?"
Jun Haoyue examined the wooden box from top to bottom, his brows knitted together as he said the same words as Xu Xingchen's guess, "A wooden box with a mechanism?"
"Yeah, that's what I guessed."
Seeing that the other party's attention was diverted, Xu Xingchen quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Haoyue held the wooden box, his eyes moved, and a blue light flashed inadvertently, so fast that Xu Xingchen couldn't catch it.
"Xingchen, keep this thing safe and don't tell anyone." He warned Xu Xingchen with a serious expression.
Xu Xingchen was stunned when he heard this and nodded. He was about to ask, "Any clues?"
There was a clang outside the door and something fell to the ground.
The two looked at each other, Jun Haoyue gave the box to Xu Xingchen, Xu Xingchen stuffed the box under the table and followed him out to check.
When he arrived at the door, he saw a shovel used for tilling the soil lying on the ground. Xu Xingchen leaned out to look, but there was no one there.
She turned to look at Jun Haoyue, "There's no one, it's just the shovel that fell."
Jun Haoyue pursed his lips. It was the sound of the shovel falling, but he clearly remembered that he had personally placed the shovel by the wall. How could it be lying across the gate?
But he didn't tell Xu Xingchen this, he just locked the door again and said, "The bamboo tube rice should be ready."
"Ohhhh! My bamboo rice!"
Xu Xingchen clapped his hands and hurried to check the steamer.
Jun Haoyue stood at the door for a while before going back into the house.
......
The next day, Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue went out to the town to buy some things.
The two were walking on the road leading to the village entrance when Aunt Wang suddenly appeared from nowhere and fell at Xu Xingchen's feet.
"Ouch!" Aunt Wang screamed like a pig being slaughtered. The sound was so loud that it was deafening.
“...?” Xu Xingchen was confused.
"Oh, it's fatal! Widow Xu is doing something wicked!" Aunt Wang howled even more miserably when she saw that she had no intention of reaching out to help her.
The villagers who were preparing to go to the fields on the road were attracted here.
"What's going on so early in the morning?"
