This is a small grocery store of less than ten square meters. The goods are so crowded that they are even placed on the sidewalk. It seems that the business is not very good. Many of the goods are dusty. The store is low and crowded. Only an old man with a bulbous nose can be flexible. Shuttle, Lin Luoran tripped over the stool pulled into the doorway, causing her to almost fall.
But if it weren't for that, her eyes wouldn't fall on the wooden box on the shelf.
It was a one-foot-square wooden box, so dusty that no wood could be seen, it was stuffed at the bottom of the shelf, and it was covered with old ash.
Why is there a strange intimacy in my heart
Lin Luoran thought a lot, and immediately decided to take the box.
The garlic-nosed old man squinted his eyes with a smile, "Looking at your expression, can you see the goods you like?"
Lin Luoran originally wanted to ask for the wooden box by name, but seeing the greediness in Suantou's nose, she didn't want to make troubles, so she pretended to bury her head in picking and choosing.
"Let me take a look first."
It's a grocery store, but it's more like an antique store, with rusty metal balls and chipped wooden cups, the only fresh things are some fruits on the road at the door, right? It looks like the sandy dates on the earth, took one and put it in his mouth, it was sour and astringent, making the expression on Lin Luoran's face as exciting as fireworks.
After touching the ashes, she didn't choose anything except the wooden box she wanted. Lin Luoran couldn't help but smile bitterly, but the old man with the bulbous nose had an expression of "my goods are all good", which made her want to cry without tears.
"Just change to some of these fruits. I don't have them in my hometown. Try something new." Lin Luoran pointed to those "sand dates".
The garlic-nosed old man leaned forward, "One catty is for one catty, do you want to trade it? This is a fruit from a faraway land."
Lin Luoran was choked speechless, and didn't want to talk to him, so she ran across to Uncle Anthony and asked for two catties of dried chilies, and pretended to browse the shelves, picking out a semi-new big iron box and the The wooden box that had been fancy for a long time was placed in front of Suantou.
"For two catties, give me a box to pack?"
Suantoubi stared at the two boxes, and decisively carried the big iron box back, "It's a shame to use such a big box for two catties."
The wooden box had a sliding lid, and Suantoubi randomly packed some "sand dates" in the box and handed it to him. Lin Luoran changed the pepper and left without looking back.
Suan Tou Nose carried two catties of "spices" and was very satisfied with the deal. Lin Luoran and Uncle Anthony settled the credit points, eager to explore the secrets of the wooden box, not in the mood to go shopping, and hurried back to the starship.
The four people gathered around and saw that she seemed to have brought something good back, but there was only a dusty wooden box, and when the lid was opened, there was a box of jujube-like fruits. The greedy little fox wants to try everything, and after eating a "sorax jujube", its facial features are so sour that it wrinkled into a ball. Everyone laughed, Xiaohu jumped and ran away with tears in his eyes.
I chatted with Xiaozhi for a while, and then watched the production and processing of peppers. Except for the green peppers stored in her space, the dried red peppers are all dried by the assembly line.
Another round of peppers matured in the space, and the agricultural robot precisely cut each pepper with its spider-like hands, without hurting the buds or the branches and leaves, which relieved Lin Luoran a lot.
Lin Luoran took the box into the space, and before he could study Mao Chou, the fire phoenix flew out and howled: "The emperor smells the smell of poinciana!"
Lin Luoran raised the wooden box, "You mean this?"
Huofeng nodded, and the phoenix perched on the sycamore tree, so Lin Luoran understood that the box was actually made of sycamore wood. The other residents in the space were awakened by the fire phoenix, and gathered together to watch Lin Luoran wipe off the dust on the wooden box, revealing the main body with wood grain.
The box is one foot square, engraved with generous and simple cloud patterns. Lin Luoran looked carefully inside and out of the box, and there was no special symbol pattern. I don't know where the intimacy came from
She didn't give up, and used her spiritual sense to explore the inside. There was no mechanism or spiritual energy. It was clearly an ordinary wooden box.
The three demons scattered in a hurry, feeling bored.
Lin Luoran held the wooden box and didn't know what to do with it. Fairy Bai hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and said with a smile, "I've heard that Phoenix wood can block spiritual consciousness, so try another method."
Lin Luoran suddenly realized, thanked Fairy Bai, and went back to the cabin with the wooden box.
Sitting on the chair, he reached out and knocked every part of the box. The sycamore wood is a good material for making pianos. When you strike it, you can feel the clear sound and color, like a mountain spring hitting a stone. Except for the slightly thick bottom of the box, the sound was dull.
Lin Luoran's fingers were stamped, and there was a shining golden blade on the fingertips. Carefully disassembled the wooden box, and there was a gap at the bottom... Is it a mezzanine
Lin Luoran's heart was pounding, and she was extremely nervous. She didn't know what was in the interlayer. She calmed down a little, but when she was about to remove the wooden board, she heard movement outside the space.
Someone is knocking on the door.
Lin Luoran took a long breath, put the box on the table, and flashed out of the space.
It turned out that Colin was knocking at the door.
"Miss, that female pirate, Windsor, contacted the Edward again and asked if we have considered going the same way." Will. When Colin was doing business, at least most of the housekeepers could be unemployed. The "Miss" yelled smoothly. Lin Luoran thought for a while and asked Xiaozhi if he knew the route to Nami's mother planet.
"With the flight permit, you are allowed to enter the waterway network. How many airways are there to Namistar, which one do you want to choose, sister?"
"The fastest one. Colin told that Windsor like this, if she can accept it, let her follow our waterway."
ville. Colin nodded and answered.
There is no reason to guard against thieves day and night. Even if the Edward is on the road alone, there is a risk of encountering pirates. No matter whether Windsor has bad intentions or not, it will only wait for time to test—strength is the most important thing, and she is confident that she can stop the pirates at the moment of danger. A group of interstellar pirates, it's time to test the beautiful pirate leader, I hope she won't be disappointed.
After dealing with trivial matters in the middle, Lin Luoran felt much calmer when he entered the space again.
Even so, Lin Luoran was still stunned when she lifted the laminated wooden boards with her own hands, revealing the yellowed and incomplete books hidden at the bottom of the box.
She is very familiar with this thing, it is bound with cotton thread, and has a blue bottom cover. Except for some insect holes hidden in the bottom of the wooden box, it is exactly the same as the incomplete medicine book handed down by her family.
The blue back cover, this is clearly the second half of the medicine book!
Lin Luoran took out the medicine book that had been kept all along, compared it, and it was exactly the same. The missing half of the medicine book handed down by the Lin family was found by her in a small grocery store on planet N2. Found it.
Was it the intimacy that made her stop involuntarily because of this unknown medicine book related to the ancestor of the Lin family
What she remembered was lost many generations ago, how did it come to the distant stars? Lin Luoran remembered that when she was young, Father Lin relied on the incomplete first half of the medicine book to identify medicinal materials, and relied on the herbs in the mountains behind Lijia Village to save up a little bit of money for her to go to school.
Every time she holds the wad of small bills in her hand to pay the tuition fees, Lin Luoran will secretly swear in her heart that she will earn a lot of money when she grows up, so that her parents will not suffer any more.
When she was sick, Father Lin decocted medicine for her according to the prescription in the broken book. Lin Luoran suddenly remembered that her health was actually very bad when she was a child. She was often sick, thin and short. Father Lin often went to the mountains to find In order to replenish the medicinal materials, Lin's mother would kill the chicken at home and stew them with medicinal materials for her to drink.
The higher the level of cultivation, the ignorant memories of her childhood became clear after returning from Penglai. Her parents raised her under such difficult conditions. She didn't feel it when she was young. Now that her family has disappeared, she can forget it even if she wants to. not drop.
Because the prescriptions in the medicine book can regulate her body, she remembered that Papa Lin sighed a few times, it would be great when she could find the second half of the ancestral medicine book... Father, my daughter has already found the other half of the medicine book, you Did you ever know
A place farther than the distant starry sky, restricted by the so-called laws of heaven and earth, where is the family...
Lin Luoran looked at the combined family medicine books and couldn't help crying.
Tears dripped down on the blue book cover, and there was a white gleam. Lin Luoran's eyes were hazy with tears, and he never paid attention to the medicine book that was torn in two, because the brilliance merged into one again, and the cotton thread that bound the book disappeared , as if they have never been separated, time and space go backwards, this is a complete ancient blue book.
"Why are you crying?"
The female voice has matured a lot, and still has the sweetness of childhood. Lin Luoran wiped away her tears and looked at the girl sitting by the bed, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with big and bright eyes, combing her hair. The hair bun, the silk ribbon fluttering, seems not to know what sorrow is, which makes people forget their worries.
Baby Fat's cheeks have become much thinner, her nose is straighter, and her eyes are bigger. Lin Luoran is a little uncertain:
"—You are, huh?"
It doesn't matter if you are tall, but the facial features and voice are clearly the little girl Lin Luoran met once after forming the alchemy. She didn't expect to see her again at this time, and she was still the same as a girl.
Lin Luoran put aside her sadness for a moment, and said in a daze, "Hey, how did you grow up?!"
