Although the boss felt embarrassed, he made it clear that saving his life was the most important thing, so he hesitated and agreed.
So the three of them made a space in the middle of the room and began to unpack the packages in the room. Because when the boss stored these packages, he didn't leave any labels related to the time, so we had to take the nearest ones to open them, and after a while, all kinds of things filled the vacated space.
I checked it roughly while dismantling it, and there was still nothing special. It seemed that everything related to the identity of the owner of the package had been carefully removed. The people who left the package seemed to be afraid of something.
But at the same time, 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 embezzled the contents of the package, the money would definitely not be left.
This unpacking sounds simple, but it is actually a physical effort. The three of them worked hard for an hour before unpacking all the packages. After smoking a cigarette and resting, we began to sort and organize the things in the package.
These things are very 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. It is true as the boss said, from the style and workmanship of these things, it can be easily seen that the age of these packages really spans decades.
The more I look at it, the more I can't help muttering in my heart. These things are supposed to be worthless, and they don't seem to have any commemorative significance. What is the reason that makes people willing to pay and hand it over to the boss for safekeeping? Even if this thing is taken back by the Wan family, what can it do? Or are these ten thousand families really so big that they treat money like dirt? Are you free to play
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up. It really made me catch a glimpse of something golden among the watches.
When I picked it up, it was a pocket watch. It should be gold-plated. From the workmanship, it looks like a European product. Even if this thing is not an antique, it is worth some money. I saw one in an antique shop earlier, and when I asked if the price was high enough to buy a Swiss watch, I didn't make up my mind to accept it.
Now that this thing is in my hands, I am still a little dark.
He opened the case and glanced at it. The watch had stopped, and there were a few jewels inlaid on the dial. Anyway, it looks beautiful. Just as I was about to say that the trip was at least worth it, my eyes caught sight of the photo on the inside of the watch cover.
When I saw this, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck, and immediately went to see Qin Yiheng beside me! Fortunately, he was concentrating on studying other things and didn't notice me. I hurriedly stuffed the watch into my pocket quietly, touched my forehead, and unknowingly, my head was already sweating.
In that photo is a group photo of two young people. I don't know one person, but I can be 100% sure that the other person is Qin Yiheng!
What's going on? Does Qin Yiheng know the owner of this watch? Looking at this posture, it must be an extraordinary relationship to be able to put a group photo in a close-fitting pocket watch. But Qin Yiheng never mentioned this matter from the beginning to the end. Not even a single word about it.
I secretly glanced at him again, with no emotion on my face. Didn't he know that one of the owners of these packages was known to him? Or what other reason
There was a surge in my heart. I don't know if I should open my mouth and ask Qin Yiheng.
I secretly pinched myself, no matter whether I ask or not, I must remain calm.
However, just when I felt calmer, I suddenly had another thought.
What if this pocket watch belongs to Qin Yiheng at all? Many years ago, he had entered the siege, and he also left a package like his predecessors
But from the photos, it looks like Qin Yiheng was young at the time!
Or is he the last few to enter the siege? Not too far from now
I cannot tell when this pocket watch was left. Now that the parcels are all unpacked, I can't even remember in which parcel I found this pocket watch. In this way, there is no possibility of even asking the boss.
What's more, the boss didn't have any impression of these packages at all. There are so many packages, let alone a half-cent old man, even I don't have the confidence to remember them.
I fumbled for the pocket watch quietly in my pocket, my mind was in a mess.
This kind of pocket watch is hardly used by people nowadays. First, it is very inconvenient to use, and second, it is not popular. His master is obviously very retro and alternative.
But what if his master is not the current person? This watch is from decades ago.
Did Qin Yiheng go to the besieged city decades ago? After all, he's not getting old now? Is he filthy? The appearance does not change!
filthy.
Could it be that Qin Yiheng died decades ago? ?
I really regret that I looked at the photos too hastily just now, I only recognized Qin Yiheng's face, but didn't identify the age from the background and clothes. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a wild guess now.
I stood up, intending to make up a lie and go out for a while, and study the pocket watch carefully.
Before I opened my mouth, Qin Yiheng suddenly called me, Jiang Shuo.
My heart immediately came to my throat.
"I know what these packages are." Qin Yiheng also stood up and said that there would be nothing of value at all. These are just relics. The Wan family waited for all the dust to settle, and the clansman who solved it all took these relics back for burial. Honor those who died for it.
I checked it carefully, that's all. Qin Yiheng said with some sighs, a person or a family has been oppressed by fate for too long, and what they want is actually as simple as peace. We think too much.
I looked at Qin Yiheng, I don't know why, I think he is telling the truth.
Maybe it's because I'm also the one who has been pressed by fate all the time.
I can empathize with the helplessness and pressure.
But if these packages are just ordinary relics, then a new problem arises. Why did you ask me to pick up that mysterious text message? Is it because I untied something from the chain? But I have no idea where to bury the Wan family.
After thinking about it, I instantly understood that among these things, the only valuable thing is this pocket watch. That person must have known the pocket watch was in the package, that's why he asked me to pick it up!
He wanted to tell me that this has something to do with Qin Yiheng!
Thinking of this, I decided to continue to explore, and asked, what does that mysterious short breath mean? Want us to help with the burial? Where are you going to be buried? Wanjia ancestral hall
I have no idea. 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. When it comes to checkout, a penny will not be missing from you. I hope you don't talk about what happened today. We really mean no harm. Also, no one will leave packages in the future. Do business with peace of mind, it is better to make less money than others.
The boss had been at a loss after unpacking the package, but now he finally heard this, nodded and bowed and said thank you several times before opening the door and going out.
Qin Yiheng and I were the only two left in the room.
Neither of us spoke, and he seemed to be still thinking about the purpose of that text message. But I have been struggling, should I have a showdown with Qin Yiheng. In fact, I really don't want to hide anything. I was born and died together along the way, and I should tell about the pocket watch out of emotion and reason.
I smoked three cigarettes in a row, and the hand holding the pocket watch in my pocket was already sweating. Finally, I gritted my teeth and took out my pocket watch, and shook it in front of Qin Yiheng, "Do you know this? I found it in the package."
Qin Yiheng groaned in surprise and shook his head.
"I don't know. I found this watch out of the package. I didn't have time to look at it. It was put away by you. Jiang Shuo, what do you want to express?"
This time, I was taken aback. Judging by his expression, it really doesn't look like he's lying. I took a deep breath and handed the pocket watch to Qin Yiheng.
Then I saw Qin Yiheng slowly opening the watch cover, and my expression changed. His gaze seemed to be firmly nailed to that watch, even his breathing stopped!
"This watch is yours." Qin Yiheng suddenly said a word after a while.
