Chapter 1026 Relics of the Ancestors (2 updates
It’s dead of night, even the chickens and dogs are sleeping, only a few insects chirping and frogs can be heard from a distance.
Listen, Lou Upstairs and downstairs there was only the sound of breathing from people in deep sleep.
Even so, Le Yun was still a little uneasy. She listened to the analysis again and again and confirmed that when the handsome boy, the elders, and the black dragon fell into deep sleep, they moved quietly. Turn on the light in the kitchen.
The light spreads and illuminates the whole house.
Le Yun moves to the fire pond to study a brick. The sides of the fire pond in rural areas are made of thick wooden strips or Use stones to surround the firepit. Generally, the firepit made of bricks will not be moved again unless moved.
The firepit of Lejia is built with thick wooden strips in a square shape, with a south-facing corner in the north and a south-facing corner in the south. There is a brick on each side of the fire pit. The bricks are irregular ordinary stone slabs. The two stone slabs are next to the wooden strips surrounding the fire pit.
Le Yun touched the brick on the north side of the fire pit and looked at it several times. Minutes later, she took out a sharp-nosed hoe and dug into the ground. When she was cooking and washing dishes and boiling water at night, she took the opportunity to splash water on the ground so that the soil could absorb water and make it easier to dig.
Because the kitchen fire pit was a There is a fire all year round, and the soil in the entire kitchen is as dry as frozen cement. Even if water is poured several times, it is still dry and hard and difficult to dig.
I carried the hoe and dug a few times and listened carefully. I didn’t wake anyone else up, and I heard people digging the ground quietly and reassuringly.
The tip of the hoe was sharpened, and it was still very laborious to dig up the hard ground. The depth of eating mud was limited, and the most important thing was Xiao Le was afraid that if he used too much force, the soil would be splashed all over the floor, so he could only use his strength.
Digging the soil with hoe after hoe, prying the mud blocks around the two sides of the stone, After digging seven or eight centimeters deep into the stone slab, Le Yun roughly calculated the time and found that it took more than twenty minutes and she was still sweating.
Time waits for no one, so she continued digging with her hoe. She is the only one in the world who feels like a thief when looking for something in her own house. Of course, she can’t be blamed for having a guilty conscience. It’s because her grandfather is so good at hiding things.< br />
After digging for another ten minutes, I dug out all the soil on the edge of the stone, and then moved the stone. I couldn't move it, so I had to continue digging the soil on the other side, cleaning off some of the soil, and placing it on the stone slab. I dug out some mud from the bottom of the corner and pried off the stone slab. I pried it several times before loosening the stone slab and moving it away. There was a layer of dry mud underneath.
Because I didn’t know how thick the soil layer was, I was afraid that vigorous digging would damage the things buried in the soil, so I dug lightly into the soil layer, digging to a height of five centimeters. I dug out a cedar core board, cleaned the soil along the edge of the board, and then pried the board off. br />
Pry open a piece of wood, and there is a square piece of wood underneath. Le Yun carefullyDig a small hole in one corner of the board, use a hoe to pry the board loose, and then move it away.
The second piece of wood is about one centimeter thick. After it is removed, a rectangular pit is exposed at the bottom. Thick wooden strips are built around the pit. One end of a red-painted wooden box is exposed in the middle. The red-painted box is surrounded by There aren't many gaps.
"Finally found it." Seeing the tip of the iceberg where the treasure was hidden, Le Yun muttered something and moved quickly, grabbing the side slots of the box and lifting it up.
According to the data she collected, the box was painted eight times. The paint is made from tung oil mixed with various raw materials. It is an earth-made paint that is many times purer than the tung oil currently on the market.
The box was painted with waterproof and insect-proof tung paint many times and was stored near a fire pit. The box was not affected by moisture and was in good condition. The paint did not fade and the edges of the box were sealed with wax.
The box was placed on its side in the pothole. Leyun raised it up by grabbing the edge, then hugged it and moved it up. The box was quite heavy. In order to ensure that it did not collide with the surroundings, one had to be careful. It took several minutes to move the box out of the pit. The red paint box was about fifty centimeters long, less than thirty centimeters wide, and about twenty centimeters thick. It had no lock, only a copper buckle, and a thin copper strip was used as a plug across the lock. The buttonhole prevents the lid from opening.
The bottom of the pit where the box is placed is sprinkled with moisture-proof plant ash, and there is still a little bit of plant ash stuck to the downward end of the box.
My great-grandfather and grandpa hid the treasure so secretly that Le Yun admired it. If it weren’t for the fact that grandpa and grandma repeatedly told where the treasure was before they died, even she wouldn’t have known about their fire pit. Hidden beside are the relics left by the predecessors.
Dong XZ is in the soil and has no spiritual energy. Even if she has a pair of strange eyes, she knows where the treasure is. If the grandparents had not left a last word to tell them that there was something hidden by the firepit, no one in the family would know, and if the base of the house was sold at some time, no one would know who would get an advantage.
After sighing with emotion, he laid it flat on the ground, used a scalpel to carefully dig out the wax in the seam where the box merged. The wax was also made from honey nests, and was filled in and glued to the seam. The seal is very strong and hard, and the scalpel is very sharp. It took two blunt knives to remove the wax from the seam of the box.
Remove the copper plugs and open the lid. The interior and edges of the wooden box are also painted with tung oil. There is also a brass box inside. The two ends of the copper box are filled with waterproof plant ash. There is no moisture in the box and the ash is still dry.
Use a soft cloth to sweep aside the plant ash on the brass leather box, take out the copper box, sweep away the dust, and open the buttons. The copper box is stuffed with cotton wool. The color is a bit gray. Remove the cotton wool. A small bag wrapped in waterproof oil paper was revealed.
In order not to damage the items in the paper bag, quickly move a small table and place it next to the fire pit, then cover it with a soft cloth, then carefully take the items from the box and place them on the small table one by one. surfacesurface, and finally take out a pack of rectangular squares.
Arranging several packages of items neatly, Le Yun first unpacked the heaviest rectangular package, unwrapped the oil paper and found a layer of cloth. The cloth layer was wrapped with four golden gold bars, which were pure gold and had a high gold content. Ninety-nine point nine hundred and ninety-nine percent.
One gold bar weighs about one kilogram, and four gold bars total four kilograms.
"Gold bars..."
In an instant, countless guesses flashed through Le Yun's mind. There were gold bars at home, but grandpa would rather pretend that they didn't exist, even if his life was going well. Even though he went through so much hardship and didn't exchange it for money, it definitely wasn't stinginess, it could just be a reason not to reveal his wealth.
If gold bars could come out and be exchanged for money, her father’s leg would not be delayed, and her grandfather would not be delayed to death after he fell.
Le Yun’s mood dropped. She wrapped the gold bars intact and put them aside. She unwrapped the square oil paper package. The things were wrapped very carefully. There were two layers of oil paper and one layer of cloth. After removing the cloth layer, there is still a layer of silk, and finally a layer of tissue paper.
Open the tissue paper, and inside is a hand-stitched book with a cowhide cover. The binding thread is silk thread. Open the cowhide filling and there is tissue paper inside.
After turning a page, Le Yun turned the book over and turned it forward from behind. The first page was blank. Then she turned another page and there was a line written in traditional traditional Chinese characters. The writing method was firm and firm. Arranged vertically, there are two lines in total from right to left. One line is in ancient oracle bone inscriptions, which she cannot recognize completely, and the other line is in seal script, but she can barely recognize them all. There are four characters in total: Le Family Genealogy, with about three characters left blank. There are two small characters "三" in the place.
If you guessed correctly, that family tree is the third one.
The characters on the cotton paper are as clear as new, and the seal characters are upright and serious.
Seeing the seal script, Le Yun’s eye sockets felt hot, and a sudden surge of sourness surged in her heart. She was too familiar with that font. Her grandfather used to teach her to read and write with that kind of brush. font.
However, she knew that the music book was not written by her grandfather, because she recognized her grandfather’s handwriting. Grandpa’s handwriting imitated the writing style and shape of the fonts on the music book. Each font can be imitated, and it can be imitated. It's as easy to imitate as if it were written by a person, just like imitating Song Dynasty.
She didn’t read it. She closed the book and could study the genealogy slowly. The most important thing now was to look at the relics left by her grandfather and great-great-grandfather.
Then open another oil-paper package, which is still two layers of oil paper, cloth, satin and cotton paper. There is still a musical score inside, with "Fifth" written on it. Open the two oil-paper packages again and open them again. Two genealogy books, "two" and "one", were published.
The four music books were originally stacked and placed in one place, and then another pile of oil-paper packages was unpacked. There was still a music book inside the stacked packages, with traditional seal characters and simplified characters.Written in regular script.
With just one glance, Le Yun recognized that the simplified characters written in regular script were written by her grandfather. She still put them aside first, and then opened the oil paper package. What she took out were several letters, one of which read " "Le Yunqi", the other one is my grandfather's name, and the other two are unnamed.
She refrained from opening and reading them yet, and continued to open several other oil paper packages, and took out four hand-written medical books, two hand-written manuscripts, and a thick stack of hand-written prescriptions.
Finally, I took apart a small square thing and peeled off the oil paper to reveal a wooden box. Inside the box were several small items wrapped in silk, including a mutton-fat jade pendant, a beautiful white jade hairpin, and a wooden box. A jade slip two fingers wide and six inches long, a rectangular sign made of something like a shield but not a shield, and something like jade but not jade.
Every item is extremely simple, especially the sign, which is engraved with complex and exquisite patterns, with word-like patterns engraved on both sides, exuding a chilling spirit.
Seeing the items in the small box, the corners of Leyun's eyes suddenly jumped a few times. She wiped her hands, gently picked up the special material sign in the silk, and raised it to her eyes. After a long time, I recognized one word - doctor.
That character is composed of dozens of patterns, and its structure is exquisite and unparalleled.
Holding the sign and looking at it for a long time, he put the sign in the box without packaging, moved the things back to the space together with the small table, and moved the red lacquer box and copper box back to the space. , immediately started to deal with the subsequent problems, first covering the hole where the box was hidden with a wooden board, then mixing water and mud, covering the surface of the wooden board, then covering it with another layer of wooden boards, then covering it with soil, and placing the stone slab in its original position.
Place the stone slabs, rub them with water and mud until they are sticky, then fill the dug area with a layer of concrete, layer by layer, and press the surrounding areas of the stone slabs until they are hard and solid. , making it impossible to tell that it has been moved.
It took a whole hour to fill the ground. In order to prevent people from noticing that the soil around the stone slabs was immobile, Le Yun took the ashes from the fire pit and sprinkled it on the surface, then swept it clean, and felt that it was almost done. , clean the kitchen and make it spotless.
Seeing that it was already past three o'clock in the morning, I washed my hands, lit a stick of incense and placed it in the main room. I flashed back to the space, took out the night pearl for lighting, took a few deep breaths, and left my grandfather to Move your suicide note in front of you.
Happy New Year, little fairies!

I hope that I can find money every day when I walk out of the house, that I can pick up a rich and handsome man immediately if I don’t have a boyfriend, that I have twins who are about to have a baby, and that I can pick up a “clairvoyance eye” plug-in for those who are studying, and that everyone can start a happy life as a winner from now on.
