C20 (2/2)

After a bit of hesitation, Lin Jin thanked her lightly.

Just as he was about to open the package to see what was inside, Xu Yun quickly grabbed his hand, and smiled: ”Xiao Jin, wait until big sister gets on the car, then we'll see.”

After making her wait for a while, Lin Jin went upstairs again and started rummaging through a box under the bed. After a long time, he finally managed to find a light green jade with a colorful phoenix blob engraved on it. He had picked up this jade ornament when he was playing by the river when he was young, and it had been half-exposed in the mud by the river, completely inconspicuous, but when he had dug it out and cleaned it out, he realized that it was a perfectly carved piece of jade, and it had been one of his collection ever since, following him until now.

Although he was reluctant to part with it as it was one of the items to witness the memories of his childhood, he could only give it to the girl now.

As he did not have any colored rope to tie this piece of jade up, Lin Jin decided to follow suit. He took out a small knife and used the zhenqi s to slice off a piece of wood from a thick area under the bed, and quickly sliced it into a two inch square wood box. Then, he placed the jade inside and closed the box.

When he went downstairs, Aunt Wang had already packed his luggage and stood there, telling his daughter something.

Lin Jin walked over, took out the wood box and embarrassedly touched his head: ”Sister Yun, this is my gift to you, I hope you have a safe journey.”

”Well, thank you!” Xu Yun smiled as he received the rough little wood box, and then asked curiously: ”Xiao Jin, what's inside?”

Lin Jin laughed and said, ”You get on the carriage too, we'll see!”

”Imitate me!” Xu Yun giggled, but seeing his serious look, she still accepted the wood box that did not seem to be much. The two of them did not realize that there was a priceless treasure inside this wood box.

Just then, the car finally arrived from the distance, and Lin Jin immediately helped them to carry their luggage to the road. After sending Xu Yun on the carriage, Lin Jin began to worry about the thing that Xu Yun had given him. When he thought that he was late anyway, so what if he was late by a few minutes, he returned to the house.

The wrapping of the box was indeed exquisite. It took a lot of effort for Lin Jin to reveal the box without causing any damage to the wrapping paper.

This was also a small square box, but it was so much prettier than the one Lin Jin had sculpted. The exquisite box had a layer of beautiful silver paint on it, shining brightly under the sunlight. On the corner of the lid, there was a small button, probably a mechanism to open the box.

Opening the box, he saw that there was a cute little lion cub inside. After taking it out, he discovered that there was a small slip of paper inside the box, and on it was written, ”My gift is placed in the belly of a lion!”

Lin Jin could not help but be taken aback. Could it be that this lion was also just a weirdly shaped package? He picked up the lion and took a look, but did not discover any more traps. Only the lion's mouth slightly opened a little bit.

Lin Jin brought it closer to his eyes and realized that the lion's mouth could indeed move. He gently pulled it down. A water arrow sprayed out from the lion's mouth, splattering all over his face.

Xu Yun, who was playing with the colorful phoenix ball and dragon jade on the carriage, thought about the scene when Lin Jin opened up the lion statue.
