Chapter 18 "Deng Si'er, what are you doing?"
Zuo Chi opened the door and came in.
He saw Deng Si'er sitting at the table with a normal expression and playing with a small iron box with a small key, so he asked curiously.
Zuo Chi recognized that the small iron box was the one he personally found from the ruins of Deng's house after the fire.
Chu Jing took a closer look and saw that although the style of the iron box in Deng Si'er's hand was old, the carved patterns showed that this iron box was not ordinary.
Chu Jing's eyes dimmed slightly.
This iron box was obviously not something that a farmer's family like Deng Si'er's adoptive father could own.
Could it be "Deng Si'er, what is this iron box for?
Why do you still carry it with you?"
Chu Jing secretly guessed, but his expression remained calm as usual.
After Zuo Chi heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and then quickly concealed them.
Chu Jing didn’t recognize this iron box Deng Si'er didn't look at Zuo Chi and Chu Jing who were standing at the door.
He was still playing with the small iron box in his hands, but he said in confusion: "Strange, why can't this box be opened?
Why is the key useless?"
As soon as Deng Si'er finished speaking, Zuo Chi came over, picked up the small iron box from Deng Si'er's hand, turned it over and looked at it, fiddled with it twice more, and then handed the small iron box to Deng Si'er again.
Four children.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Seeing Zuo Chi's careful observation, Deng Si'er thought he could come up with something, so he stood up and looked at Zuo Chi and asked.
Zuo Chi shook his head and said: "I can't open it either.
There may be a mechanism on the key of this iron box, and I can't think of a way in a short time."
Deng Si'er was disappointed and sat back on the stool, lying on the edge of the table, looking at the iron box in his hand, and said: "Didn't you say that the treasure map might be on me?
After thinking about it, it can only be this box.
My father said that there was only one thing in the quilt wrapped around me, but I have the key.
Oh, isn't this the key to the box?"
When Zuo Chi heard this, he glanced sideways at Chu Jing beside him, wanting to see how he would react.
"Right" Deng Si'er jumped up with an exclamation, stretched out the small iron box in his hand in front of Chu Jing, and asked with his eyes open: "You should know how to open it."
Chu Jing was stunned and immediately understood what Deng Si'er meant.
He remembered what Zuo Chi said when he was outside just now.
Deng Si'er already knew that he and Chu Jing were father and son.
Zuo Chi looked at Chu Jing's expression indifferently and thought: If the person in front of him is really Chu Jing himself, if he personally put the treasure map in the iron box and placed it among Deng Si'er's swaddling clothes, then Chu Jing , you must know how to open this small iron box.
Zuo Chi thought this way, and Deng Si'er certainly felt the same way, so he asked Chu Jing.
Although Chu Jing was a little stunned after listening to Deng Si'er's inquiry, his expression did not appear flustered, which made Zuo Chi unable to help but not understand.
I saw Chu Jing nodding and saying: "You're right, I put it there.
Of course I know how to open this iron box.
Give it to me."
As Chu Jing said that, he stretched out his hand to Deng Si'er.
In his open palm, the broken finger was still obvious.
Deng Si'er looked at the broad palm with one finger missing, and looked at Zuo Chi hesitantly.
When Zuo Chi nodded to him, he safely placed the small iron box in Chu Jing's palm.
Zuo Chi didn't expect that Chu Jing really knew how to open the iron box, so why did he act like he didn't know the iron box before?
After Chu Jing took the iron box, he turned it over and over for a while like Zuo Chi had done before, then nodded and said: "Yes, that's the box."
"What's the origin of this iron box?"
Seeing that Chu Jing's movements seemed to confirm something, Zuo Chi asked aloud.
Upon hearing this, Chu Jing turned around and glanced at Zuo Chi, then extended the iron box in his hand to Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er, and then said: "You must have never heard of the Gu key."
"What kind of insect are you talking about?"

Deng Si'er just listened and couldn't figure out what those four words were.
He turned to look at Zuo Chi and asked in surprise.
I saw Zuo Chi also looking away and saying: "I have never heard of the Gu key.
What is this?
Is it this box?"
Unexpectedly, Zuo Chi also had a puzzled look on his face.
It seemed that this master catcher didn't know everything.
Chu Jing stretched out his other hand and pointed at the keyhole of the small iron box and explained: "It doesn't refer to the iron box, the Gu insect key, but the key hole you see."
"Is this different from an ordinary keyhole?
I don't see any difference."
Deng Si'er leaned over and squinted his eyes to observe carefully, but he didn't find anything different from ordinary keyholes.
Zuo Chi picked up the candlestick on the shelf, lit it, and moved it to the keyhole of the iron box.
He stared at it, but found nothing.
"You can't tell much about this Gu insect key just by looking at it.
What's strange about it is that there is a kind of Gu insect in the keyhole.
To open this iron box, you need not only the original key, but also the Same thing."
Chu Jing paused here, looked at Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er and continued: "blood."
"Blood" Zuo Chi frowned, why?
"Could it be that these bugs are fed on human blood?"
Deng Si'er took a step back after hearing Chu Jing's words.
Feeding bugs with human blood, what is this?
"It's not what you think.
This kind of Gu insect does not need to be fed with human blood, but to open the key, human blood and the key are needed.
Both are indispensable."
Chu Jing looked at Deng Si'er's appearance, chuckled, and continued: "Before being stimulated, these Gu insects always live in groups and are closely connected to each other.
They are the same as ordinary insects, except that they are harder.
But after being stimulated, they will disperse."
"I understand, the thing that stimulates the Gu insects is human blood."
When Zuo Chi heard this, he understood and nodded.
"What are you talking about?
Why can't I understand?"
Deng Si'er saw that Zuo Chi seemed to understand, but he was still confused, so he asked hurriedly.
"What he means is that originally the key and the keyhole can be combined, but because the voodoo insects live in groups, they block the keyhole, making your key unable to function.
However, when stimulated with human blood, those voodoo insects will It will spread out and the keyhole will be clear.
As long as you have the matching key, it will not be difficult to open. ” Zuo Chi explained carefully to Deng Si'er.
Chu Jing looked at Zuo Chi's flawless explanation and had to admire Zuo Chi's understanding ability.
"Then quickly get some blood and open it, okay?"
Deng Si'er said after he understood.
Now that you know the method, what are you waiting for?
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Chu Jing suddenly took out the dagger from Deng Si'er's waist, and gently swiped one of Deng Si'er's fingers.
Blood drops immediately appeared on Deng Si'er's fingers.
"The dagger is good."
Chu Jing ignored Deng Si'er's glaring expression, looked at the dagger and praised.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi just took the iron box over, took Deng Si'er's finger, dripped the blood from Deng Si'er into the keyhole of the iron box, and said:

"I think the reason why he scratched your finger must be that this kind of Gu only recognizes the blood of one person, and that person can only be you."
"You should have told me earlier" Deng Si'er put his fingers in his mouth, sucked twice, and mumbled.
Seeing that the wound was no longer bleeding, Deng Si'er took out the previous key and went to open the iron box.
"Hey, there's only one treasure map in a bottle":
