Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1912 What Secret

It was very quiet in the ward.

Except for the bed that was destroyed during the previous fight, the only thing left was the password box that had just been opened but not yet fully opened, and Xiuxiu lying in front of the box.

Xiuxiu is not lying down normally with her head down.

Instead, his head was resting sideways on the door of the lockbox, while his shoulders were in a prostrate state, as if he were lying down normally.

The left leg was half-kneeling on the ground, which seemed normal, but the right leg was raised upward and rested on top of the password box.

This posture looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

It was as if the right leg had been twisted and the head had been removed and placed on her neck in an unnatural way.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen couldn't help but thought to himself: Could it be that someone has already arrived first?After Xiu Xiu opened the box, he killed him and took away the wealth inside?

However, there were no other signs of fighting at the scene, and there were no bloodstains or injuries on Xiuxiu's body.

This made Wang Chen even more puzzled.

After a slight hesitation, he moved forward with some vigilance.

When he arrived, he was almost [-]% sure that Xiuxiu's neck and right leg were both dislocated and broken.

However, just when he stretched out his finger and was about to test Xiu Xiu's breathing, his eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened.

A strong killing intent suddenly burst out in his eyes.

The originally distorted head and legs returned to normal with a crisp sound.

The whole process only lasted about three or four seconds.

Before Wang Chen had time to react, Xiuxiu was already standing opposite him in the same normal state as before.

"The head and right leg are twisted, maybe the bone-shrinking technique was used? And the sudden lack of breathing, could it be that the breath-holding technique was used?"

Facing Wang Chen's questioning gaze, Xiu Xiu smiled and said, "You're quite knowledgeable! You actually know bone shrinking skills and breath holding techniques."

Wang Chen looked at the password box and its surroundings: "It seems that when I opened the box, there should be no hidden weapons or anything like that. I don't understand why you would use these two techniques?"

Xiuxiu pointed to the two nails on the broken bed frame: "It's not that there are no hidden weapons, but you probably didn't notice them."

Wang Chen turned around and looked around. At a glance, although he also found nails, he felt that they should have been on the bed.

But now if I take a closer look, I can see something fishy.

At first glance, the nails look rusty, but upon closer inspection, you can easily see that they are not repaired, but just that way.

This is a very small coffin nail. Because it is too old and slightly oxidized, it appears dark yellow.

Such coffin nails are almost unheard of in modern times, and were extremely rare in ancient times.

Because in ancient times, small metal coffin nails were only used to seal the coffins of young princes and princes who died young.

At first, the small coffin nail was fourteen plus one centimeter long. Fourteen centimeters was the length of the nail, and the one centimeter was the small dragon-shaped head on it.

The reason why this number is chosen is because fourteen is the number of seven or seven, and seven or seven means "end" or "completeness" in ancient feudal dynasties.

But the prince or young prince who died in infancy had high hopes from the moment he was born.

Therefore, the emperors all hoped to give their children who died young a chance to survive after being fulfilled. The one centimeter dragon-shaped head was the blessing of dragon luck given by the emperor.Of course, nails alone are not enough for this kind of blessing, other things are also needed.

At the same time, the length and materials of nails have also undergone tremendous changes after several dynasties.

Especially during the Song Dynasty, the length of nails changed from fourteen plus one to seven plus one, and the material also changed from the original copper nails to the later gold nails.

Moreover, this golden nail is telescopic and not fixed.

When the carpenter makes the coffin, the nails will be embedded in the edge of the coffin board in a clever way. When the coffin lid is sealed, he only needs to tap it a few times with a mallet, and the shrinking metal nails will spring out. Open it and insert it obliquely into the previously prepared groove.

The reason for this design is that in several dynasties, there have been situations where the little prince obviously died, but suddenly came back to life shortly after being placed in the coffin.

In ancient times, when medicine was not very developed, everyone thought it was the dragon luck given by the emperor that saved the child. Therefore, when the child was resurrected, he would be treated as the emperor's heir.

In fact, if you put it in modern times, it would simply be that you were not dead before, entered a state of suspended animation, and recovered due to chance.

After sealing the coffin lid with this telescopic coffin nail, if the person inside comes alive before burial, you only need to push it upward with a little force, and the coffin nail will immediately compress into a compact state, allowing the coffin lid to be easily opened. .

The two nails currently driven into the shabby bed are of this retractable type.

It's just that the material is slightly different.

This kind of nail has extremely strong penetration power.

If it is opened from inside the box, the nails will be compressed directly without causing any loss.

And if it is forcibly opened from the outside, it will be ejected.

According to this situation, it is normal for Xiuxiu to take some measures to deal with it.

But Wang Chen was a little surprised: "You just need to dodge the nails in time before they are launched. You shouldn't need to use bone-shrinking skills or breath-holding techniques, right?"

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Are you here to kill me and take the treasure, or are you here to ask me questions?"

Wang Chen spread his hands: "Ask first, then kill. This shouldn't delay anything, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

Xiuxiu suddenly laughed: "You are really upright. I thought you would pretend to let me go just to answer my curious questions."

Wang Chen shook his head: "You should know that based on what you have done, I cannot let you go. As for the question, it doesn't matter whether you answer it or not."

Xiuxiu's eyes swayed and she said with a smile: "The biggest difference between you and Liang Xiaotian is that he likes to hide things, while you say whatever you want."

"What about you? Are you prepared to speak first, or are you prepared to die first?"

"Let's talk about it. Since you are here, it means that Liang Xiaotian has probably died, and I am the only one left. It is estimated that the possibility of leaving alive is not high. Since he is about to die, it is better to talk about what interests you before he dies. And some secrets about you that you don’t know.”

"Oh? Are there any secrets I don't know about?" Wang Chen asked curiously.

Xiuxiu stretched out her hand: "Give me a cigarette."

Wang Chen took out a cigarette and handed it over, then lit one himself: "Tell me. What secrets are they all about?"

"What I can tell you is naturally about you and your grandfather."

"Okay, let's start with the bone-shrinking technique and the breath-holding technique."
