Curium Bone

Chapter 1 Silver Bracelet and Iron Rules​ When the bluestone slabs in the old alley were shiny from the night rain, Shen Qingci pushed open the wooden door of the "Shilizhai". Amidst the sound of the copper rings colliding, Lin Yan was staring at the blue and white porcelain bowl that was broken into three petals. The nail held by the tweezers hung in the air, like a resting metal butterfly.​ "Can you fix this?" The woman's voice was covered in moisture, and a cold light slipped out of the silver bracelet on her wrist.​ The bracelet was engraved with a lotus pattern, and the joints were neatly cracked, as if it had been torn off by someone. As soon as Lin Yan's fingertips touched the silver surface, he suddenly felt a burning pain - a blur of scarlet flashed in front of his eyes, and a woman's cry came from far away.​ "Grandpa's rule is, don't repair a silver bracelet that's broken in half." He took back his hand, and the texture of the texture was still there on his fingertips. The old wooden sign hanging on the wall reads three iron rules, and the ink has turned gray:​ No gold or jade will be accepted after Zi Shi​ Do not touch bloody objects​ Do not repair silverware that is broken in half​ Shen Qingci suddenly smiled, took out a leather notebook from his bag and pushed it over. The yellowed page was written by Grandpa Lin Yan, and there was an old photo on the last page: an old man in a blue shirt was fixing a silver bracelet, and next to him stood a girl with braids. The silver jewelry on her wrist was exactly the same as Shen Qingci's.​ "In the 26th year of the Republic of China, Gu Wanyi asked your grandfather to repair this bracelet." She placed the silver bracelet on the table, and black stains as thin as hair oozed from the cracks. "Now it has broken for the second time."
